NEW YORK, May 28.-The court room

were some relations between Mr..
Beecher and Mr.. Tilton which were
part of this case; these relations
partook Of the nature o those which
should exist between clergyman and
his parishoner. In regard to any visits
of Mrs. Tilton to Mrs. Beecher, there was
no evidence Of any at all. Counsel's learn
ed friend never asked Beecher if he saw
her at his house, and there was no evil
dence that Beecher saw her there. What

Counsel then called the iuryS attention
to the absence of the affirmative fact Of
want of any direct evidence bearing
on the criminality of these two persons.
Counsel copmented on Jackson's testi.
mony in relation to having lunch with
Tilton at Delmonlco's, when the latter
said he had no faith in man. Jackson
then went to Beecher and told HIM what
Tilton said. Beccher went TO Titon and
called him to account, but he denied it,

Since the March election the Democratic
papers of New Hampshire have persistently
refused to acknowledge that there is a lawful
Republican majority in the state House of
Representatives. Why they persisted in
stultifying themselves, in refusing to accept
the logic of events, was for some time not
clear. But it now appears, from admissions


made, that they were paving the way for a
piece of political rascality throwing into the
shade anything Of the sort ever attempted in
American history; for the introduction of
Louisiana tactics into New England. The
rascality in question is to get possession of
the House by rejecting legally elected Re-
publican members.


According to the returns and certificates Of
election received 191 members of the House
of Representatives are Republicans and 1872
are Democrats, giving Republican majority
of nine. The Senate stands five and five,
leaving two vacancies to be filed on joint
ballot. The certificates of election are made
out by the town clerks and sent to the Sec
retary of State, who transmits them, sealed,
to the clerk of the old House. The duties of
the clerk have ever been held to be only
clerical, and he simply has the power to
make up the roll from the legal certificates.
But the clerk Of the old House is Demo-
crat, and the Democrats are claiming that he
is the proper judge of the qualifications OF
members and that he has the power to go
back of the certificates and pass upon the
evidence that may be submitted to impeach
them. Notices have been served on some
twenty members of the House that their
seats will be contested on the ground of fraud
and illegality. The old clerk is relied upon
tants upon the roll. This will give the DEM
ocrats the organization of the House, the
selection Of two Senators on joint ballot, the
consequent possession of the Senate and tho
choice Of governor through the Legislature.


1t seems almost incredible that such a
scheme can be seriously entertained, or that
if can have the support of any number of
people for moment. But the Democrats of
New Hampshire have repeatedly exhibited
themselves as the most violent and unscru-
pulous of partsans, and there is no telling
to what lengths their folly and vindictiveness
will carry them. That the conspiracy will
succeed is not at all probable. The Repub-
licans of the granite state are men used to
political contests, possessing an abundance of
pluck, and ever ready to resist all attempts
to defeat the will of the people. 1t is easy
to believe their declaration that the old clerk
will be thrown out of the window of the state
house should he attempt the desperate game
charged to him.
