A sKILFUL CROss-EXAMINATION.


The attendance Yesterday, as on the previous day.
was much diminished by the order that no one
should be admitted after the seats, which VIII ac-
commodate about 500 persons were filled. EX-
Mayor John W. Hunter. of Brooklyn, sat IN the pew
occupied by Mrs Talmage and Mrs. A W. Ienney
Among the clergymen who had seats in the rear OF
the Presbtory were the Rev. DR.. IL. S. Carpenter
Richard T.. Field, George S. Chambers, Albert ..
Graves, James Marshall and Joseph Pullman. Judge
George G. Reynolds, of the Brooklyn City Court
and the Rov. Messrs. j. S. Breckenridge and A. C.
Bowdish were also present.
The entire session was occupied by the cross-ex-
animation Of Mr. Remington. which was conducted
by both DR.. Spear and Mr.. Millard. So Shrewd and
searching were their questions that it was remarked
that they had mistaken their professionalism they
should have chosen the law rather than divinity.
The greater part of the questions asked by Dr..
Spear however, were written out in full and read
from a manuscript. Many of the questions were
very long and had to be repeated twice. Mr.. Rem
ington spoke slowly and only after dehberatlon'
His voice was weak and could not be heard by all
the members OF the Court and during Mr.. Mlllards
examination of the witness il was suggested that
the answers should be repeated by Mr. Miliard,
whose voice is very loud. This. however, caused
much confusion, and then the experiment was tred
of having Mr. Crosby repeat the answers. The first
succeeding answer was very long; Mr. Crosby was
unable to repeat it, and broke down amid great
laughter 1t was then decided that each question
and answer should be read by the stenographer,
which. of course tended to delay the proceedings.
MIR. RemngtOn's testimony was confined mainly
10 his knowledge Of Mr. Talmages conduct IN
Withdrawing from The Christian at HOrk. The
witness stated that he did not know that the latter
did any deceitful act, and admitted that his own
conduct Immediately afterward might be blame
worthy When asked if he was volunteer helper
in getting up the trial. he responded emphatIcaily,
81 was not" During the day DR.. Van Dyke read
protest against the exclusion of the interviews with
Mr.. Talmare which were offered in evidence. and
the author of one of the interviews ofered. testify

At the trial of Mr.. Talmage yesterday Dr.
Van Dyke made formal protest against the
exclusion of interviews with the defendant
which were offered in evidence. Mr.. Reming-
ton was recalled and cross-examined at great
length by DR.. Spear and Mr.. Millard IN ref

deliboratcd upon this question with much
care in relation to its justice, has deter.
mined that there is just obligation resting
upon the Government toward the soldiers
of the Union army. In this view Of the
case we cannot be made now to think it
possible for the President to intcrpose his
veto, were the amount involved S10O0O0,-
O)O, so long as the obligation is recognized
rs ono Of unquestioncd Justice. We cannot
conceive that the amount of dollars and
cent, involved be il ever so huge, affords
any just grounds for an exercise of the
veto power in this case. 1t is neither
hasty and inconsiderate legislation, nor an
invasion Of the principles and proprieties of
the Constitution, and hence the interposi-
tion Of the veto must relate purely TO the
propriety of meeting just obligation for
the reason that It is expensive, The coun-
try will never applaud such veto, neither
can the Republican party, which was the
war party Of the country when this obliga-
tion was created, afford to have Rcpubli-
can President thrust the veto power be-
tween the pensioners Of the national army
aud their equitable rights aud interests. II

The ship "pinafore" with her goodly company,
made her first moorngs before Washington audi

to gather for her greeting probably the largest and
most distinguished audience ever assembled within
the walls of the OperaHouse. The jtrOre created

already reached our own, which, with consequent
expectations of its beauty and excellence, suniced
to attract the great audience that graccd It's per-

were fully satisfied.
Tho operetta Is charming in the simple romance
of It's plot, the melody Of its solo aud the harmony
of its choral numbers and the mifth and iOity of

from the marrng effects OF doubles ent,ndres.

terday, presented by the Democratic effort,
with the aid of the Democratic Speaker, to
choke off Democratic debate upon ques-
tions evolved from Democratic dissensions,
will not soon be forgotten. Speaker RAN
DALI did not neglect the opportunity offered
thereby to stultify himself and increase his
reputation as tricky and partisan presd-

THE ARREARS OF PENSION BILL.

RumOr has it that the President is liable
to veto the arrears of pension bill now be-
fore him for his approval, but we take no
stock in any such view of his action. We
are not unaware of the fact that some of his
official family are deadly hostile 10 the
measure, and would be exceedingly gratifed
to know that he had returned it to Congress
with his objections, but we cannot, and will
not, believe that he will apply the veto
until his own act shall determine the ques-
tiOn against our present Judgment. An
effort is being made to aggregate the
amount involved TO gigantic proportions to
the prejudice Of the measure, by creating
the impression that it will drain the Ma
tonal Treasury severely, If tits not crippled,
through its operations. 1t is said that the
Secretary Of the Treasury computes the
amount involved at Sl50000000; while
the President himself estimates it at %
little less than S5000OO0O. In view of
certain data furnished by the Pension Office
of the Interior Department to Congress on
March g. 1876 we cannot conceive it possi-
| BILE to swell the amount above S2jOOO,O 600.
At that time, when q kindred bill was pend
| ing, the House committee called on the
Pension-Onice for u carcfully-prepared de-
tailed statement of the amount it would
then require to meet the provisions of the
bill and the submitted report showed m
aggregate of Sl34l7il00.16 From this
amount the chairman of the Committee on
Invalid Pensions very properly deducted
one-third on account Of deaths, suspensions,
&C., leaving tho sum at S0,00O,0OO, as the
total amount due on the 1st OF January,
1916. Taking these figures at the largest
sum, it does not seem possible that the
amount can be more than doubled but for
argument sake, admitting that it may be
trebled, that affords no good reason for
oyading this honorable Obligation through
the agency OF the veto power.
