NEW YORK.


New York. January 2S.-The usual
crowd was at the Tilton-B eecher trial
to-day. The counsel and principals
we're on hand early. Judge Nelson
upon the opening Of court, gave bis de-
cision on the point raised yesterday by
Evarts as to Mr.. Woodruff rslaiing what
occurred at the interview between Gen.
Tracy, Moulton aud himself. when
Beecher was not present. Judge Neil
son said he had examined the authori.
ties on the subject. and ruled that the
witness might relate all that occurred.
The attention of the court was called to
a pamphlet issued from the Tribune
office entitled part One Of the official
report Of the Tilton.B eecher Trial"
Judge Fullerton stated that. instead of
having evidence only on trial, there
were comments relating to Moulton
and counsel. Mr.. Beach paid an elo-
quent tribute to Mr.. Moulton as a wit
ness, and Mr.. Evarts, in turn, said they
were not actors on the stage. Judge
Nelson said he wonld confer with the
publishers about this matter.

From the Louisville Courier journal, Hth.l
The election OF Andrew johnson,
which is announced this morning, will
be received with a species of exultant
yet hazy satisfaction all over the country.
There is a notion that the ex.President
will be a thorn in the side of the Radi.
calls, aud there is sympathy with 4 GER
tain obdurate courage he has displayed
throughout his 6ght ia Tennessee, which
unite in giving him an extensive aud, in
some respects, 20 undeserved popular
support. The expectations entertained
OF the new Senator are likely TO be dis
appointed, for, with great natural gifts
johnson is not in reality either O bold
or a bad man. With many good
Intentions, he is a selfish egotist TO whom
the South, at least, owes much mislead-
ing and'mang misfortunes. The oppo-
slti0n he has Just overcome was created
BY bis " perversity. 4 thorough
marpiot, % he is a thorough agitator, he
returned to his home in Tennessee, after
retiring from the Presidential office, TO

which has given him. at the end Of ak
years, what he might have had without a

THE 0FFIcE-H0LBERs' ORGAN STILL
BELABORING REFORM.

The Appeal not being able to argue
against the reform measures the Protec-
tive Union hopes to inaugurate, brings
up two brother papers to prop it up in
its position of hostility toward the well
fare Of our citizens. 1t quotes from the
Vicksburg Herald and the St. Louis
Globe. In'the first place, the Vicksburg
Herald knows nothing of the Protective
Unions propositions except from the
Misrepresentation and inaccurate re-
ports of the Appeal. In the next place,
Emerson Etheridge, in his speech against
the funding bill, said newspapers always
leaned to the side that had the most
money. Everybody knows ofiee-holders
who get from seven to thirty dollars a
day these hard times are about the only
people (if we may except editors) who
get any money. Mechanics and profess
sionsl men and the great body Of people
don't see seven dollars in seven months.
You can't come it, neighbor; all your
stuff about taking the liberties Of the
people is thrown away. NobodY listens
10 you but the o~fice-holders; Of course
they listen; you are singing their song
for them. Go on, if it pleases you and
them. But the people are in earnest;
the people don't get any thirty dollars a
day, and they don't scare a cent over
your liberties of the people cry.

One Of the awkward novelties OF Eu-
rope is civil marriages, or the denial by
the courts of the legality OF marriages
performed by ministers OF religion unless
also performed by civic functionaries.
In Italy a large proportion Of the popu.
lation pay no attention to it, quiet peo-
pie having little occasion to test the
legality Of their marriage, and the reli.
gious ceremony being amply sufficient
in their own eyes. Besides, If they
should take a notion to divorce, there is
no need for resort to courts. One Gu
rious effect is hat the widows Of soldiers
and public officers content themselves
with the religious knot, in order to con.
tinue drawing their pensions, which the
government cannot refuse, as it does not
recognize. their change of life. In
France the matter IS managed more to
the advantage of government, the civic
marriage being required before any
clergyman can consecrate the tie. Evil
minded men take advantage Of this, and
after being legally married give scrupu-
lous wives a world of trouble by refusing
consent to any religious service. The
Swiss National Council has recently
adopted the French system.

ScHEYcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP. SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PuLLs.-These deserv-
eddy celebrated and popular medicines have
erected o revolution in the healing art, and
proved the fallacy of several maxims which
have for many years 0bstructed the progress
Of medical science. The false supposition
that Consumption is i%ncurable deferred
physicians from attempting to find remedies
for that disease. and patients afflicted with II
rec0nciled themselves 10 death without
making an effort to escape from q doom which
they supposed 10 be unavoidable. II Is now
proved, hewever, that Consumption can be
cured, and that il has been cured in o very
great number Of cases (some Of them appa-
rently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulm0nic
medioine in connection with Schenck's Sea
| Weed Tonic and Mandrake pills, one or both,
according to the requirements Of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself. who enjoyed upinter'
rupted good health for more than forty years,
was supposed, at one time to be at the very
gate Of. death, his physicians haying. pro.

him 10 his fate. Hewas cured by the afore-
said medicine, and, since his recovery. many

AN OPINION AT LAST.

The Union and American has at last
abandoned the neutral position, and
says something as to the Senatorial con-
test. In its Issue of the 9th it says:
The political classification of the
General Assembly is n~inety-two Demo,
Gratis and eight Republicans. Mr.. john
sons strength was composed Of the
united Republican element and forty
four Democrats. 1t thus appears that
he was supported-includin Mr.. Gallo.
way-by forty.6ve Democrats, or only
one less than half the total number in
both Houses. We find a good deal Of
significance in these figures, because it
has been charged that Mr.. johnson is
not a Democrat, and the Union and
American does not propose to support
for office any man whom it does not
know TO be sound in that political faith.
Emphatically as we condemned his
course in 1872, we have never been
brought to believe that his purpose was
to 20 beyond the pale of the party. II
be should meet the confident anticipa.
tons Of those who have followed his pp-
litical fortunes with such answering
devotion since the war, the so-called
breach in the Democratic party will
be speedily healed. We hope for the
beat.
