The RrOOkIyn Trial.

rum me fSlT1TlQTtctu fCefblLDilcrl.
The preliminary testimony for the def
in the Beecher case is necessary, we suppose
as the groundwork of its general line.
Though there be nothing new in it TO the pub
lie, III must be put on the record, that il may
be argued upon to the jury. The gra lual de-
moraliZation of Tllton has to be exhibited as
the foundation for the desperation and wick
edness that led him at last to make this wan
ton assault on his old friend aud pastor II
is for this that ancient maidens and forlorn
widows, venerable philanthroDists garrulOus
church deacuns and sinister men OF The world,
silly sensatioRists aud staid traders in leath-
er and politics, have moved in this pitiful
procession through the Brooklyn courthouse
retailing all that the eye had seen or ear had
heard, of the secrets of the Tilton household
and repeating the incoherent babblings of a
head and heart, through which every variety
OF theory, every possibility of purpose and
desire ranged in turn. There is nothing new
or strange in ii all. Tilton does not appear,
under the Kaleidoscope reproduction, any
thing different from what he has been long
known to be. He may seem TO be a very
weak ard silly man at times. but there is
nothing yet that suggests that he is a bad
man. His character and his conduct in this
whole experience are revealed by the teSti-
mony TO be just about what ne was supposed
to be by those who knew him and the history
of the case best.
If all this testimony was intended by Mr..
Beecher's lawyers TO help his case directly,
they have miserably erred. 1t is only toler-
able as a necessary framework for the char
acter upon which they are to build the mon
WHO, III NduIOu envy ana revenge. IN
thirst for money and notoriety, has struck a
double blow at the virtue of his wife and the
honor OF the great American preacher. How
ever unfavorable the impression it may
leave concerning Tilton, none of II has yet
benefited Beecher We cannot be mistaken
in reporting the progress Of public opinion
against Beecher as uninterrupted by the
testimony so Tar intro tuced by the defenS e.
Either he has weak case, or his lawyers
have been purposely making a background
for one of the greatest dramatic reactions
ever effected In public opinion. They are
running for luck with the tide against them,
or they hold in reserve that which will arrest
public attention as with a stroke, and turn
back the whole course of public judgment.
So far, however, they have not broken in the
least the chain OF circumstance and confess
sion, the great link Of probabilities AID GER
tainties, that make the theory OF Beecher's
guilt as yet the one reasonable explanation OF
the whole fra gic story

a COURT SCENE IN NAsnVILLE.-The
stolen goods were brought into court, crea-
ting good deal of talk. The cases having
been confined, Capt. Nater made an inciden-
tai remark, concerning the burglars tools
found i'm q. w. Zachery's room, when that
individual told later that he was a damned
thief Capt. later asked him what he
meant, wheIeUpon Zachery repeated the
epithet. Gater instantly struck him ON the
forehead and drew his pistol. Mel Iachery
Immediately came TO the help OF his brother,
and the pistol having become cooked I'm the
scuffle, pointed IL towards Yater's breast.
City Marshal ID. ii. Pittman rushed 10 Va
ter's assistance, and catching the pistol, in
serted his thumb under the hammer Just as e
descended. But for this providential cireum-
stance the deadly cartridge would have, per-
hapS, at once and forever ended the career of
the captain az police. During the struggle
the stove was Knocked down. and a spectator
Immediately sat down with Sudden force
upon the bed Of red-hOt Goals, but remember

gagement with q man down The street he
