Special Correanondence af The Chteaga Trilains- Brooxtys, Jay. 14.—The ninth day dawned upon Brookign exquisitely ciear, with a rare abundance of sunshive and anky unflocked by a single cloud. Tho entrance to the Conrt-Honro was thronged, aa usual, by the hopeful multi- tude which nover obtains o right of entrance, but which none tho less diligently acoks the asphyxiating privileges of the tiial-chamber. Eleven o’clock wag the hour at which, with customary punctuality, the stitches of the motley fabric, dropped the night before, wero again picked up by the nimble fingers of Mr. £uller- ton. Mr, Moulton elbowed his way to the stand, and sat for ot least a minute, the target of THOUSAND CURIOUS AND PENETRATING EYES. Evory now ana then he ran his elonder tin- Rers through his rufous hair, which scems to outer enthusiastically into tho proceodinge, and to bristle with Interest as ita owner proceeds to unfold his singular relation to the case, Fullorton had atowed @ comfortable bronkfast ander his ample vest. It was cazy to detect ita benign influences in the moist polish of his lipe, the stately mapnor of his eve, and the self-con- scious dignity of bis carriage. Ho projected the firm hemisphere in which thoee iutluences min- gled, well in front of him, squared bio ehouldere, rolled a combative glauce at the sparo visage of Mr. Evarts, and straight from his mouth thero flow the frst of a vhining series of questions. The play was again excellent. Afoulton's an- swore wera PAT, AND CAREFULLY DELIVERED, with a degree of placid self-control which moro than one of his bearers yiust have surely ¢p- yied him. ‘Tho morning was spent in identif;- ing and putting inas evidence the nummvus lotters which belong to tho plaintiff's cause. All of these Mr. Fullerton recited with a gravity of manner, aud iu tones ao tien sod so solemn that one forgave the repotition which thus dupli- cated them for the sale of the elucidation of minor shades of meaning hitherto undeveloped. Judge Fallerton's voice closely resembles that of Mr. Beechor, rivaling 1t in mollownezs and ex- celling it in depth. Closing one’s eyes, one might haro supposed it tobe the voice of tie preacher himeolf, confessing, with » tremendous tragie forco, tho emotions which were rolling like wavos across his soul. Evyecially powerful did thus ogency become when Mr. Fullertou, in propor timo, recited Mr. Tilton's poom, “BIN XARMADUKE'S XUBINGS.” Whenhe reached the three final stanzas, tho lawyer's muging yoice treta'led and becamo mournfully profound. A hueh, aa of awe aud sympathy, filled the room: 2 am now all bereft, As when sumo tower doth fall, With battlements snd wall, Ard goto, aud bridge, und’ sll, And nothing lett, But I account it worth Al pangs of fur hopes eraated— A loves aud Lowors Joat— ‘To gain the heavens at coat Of losing earth. 8a, lest I be inclined, ‘Lo render il for Alt, Henceforth in me instill, O Gud, a nwoet good will Ta all mankind, The Ingt words vibrated s moment, and then there wos s buzz of cager comment. Duriug this painfal recitation, Mra. Tilton bisuels fostfatly and looked with a tearful eyo at Mr, Beocher, all the whilo biting ber duger- nails, ‘Tho defondant, for a while, bore hiuself with customary indiiferevce; but, as the reading proceeded, BECAME TEURIDLY SCARLET, bis cara shimng like red patches through the silver mesos of bis hair, His wifo preserved tho same alniost comatose expression which she bus worn during tho whole trial. She has ovidentiy made up her mind to look ecantemptuously, without very well knowing why. Tiltan’a Eras: and melancholy face, which is wistful and pathotic all day long, undergoes no change. He listens to hia counsel ; ho jirtens to tho opposition ; ho listens to the evideuce ; he ‘istens to the Judves,—always with the samo sad intarcat and attantion. Whon recess was announced, both Tilton and Moulton were surrounded by knols of friends; whilo, 28 5 ourious roverue, Mr. Beecher, his son, and his wifo, stood ull alone ins small and dilent group. All traces of morrimeut have TONG SINCE VANISHED from the preachor's faco, anit be looked care- worn, a8 indeed he might. = Nrs, Beechur mum- bled something botween her tips, inaudible even to hor husband, who paid no attention to her, After a momont’s hesitation, he darted across the room to Mr. Evarts, who tat, with an augry frown, at tho lawyers’ tuble. The two plunged into conversation,—Mr, Beecher speaking at random, and evidently thinking of ather things than cerobro-spinal-meningitis, upon which in- viting topic their discussion finally alighted, All of waudden Mr. Boechor roso to his foot, and atrode three or fuur stops toward Myre, Tilton, who sprang upto meot iim. ‘The two shook each other's hands more than cordially, he ro- taining her’a a moment, and sbe looking into hie eyos with a bashful teodernoss which, lam eorry to say, was not altogethor inconsistent with the ‘Titonian theories, ‘That one look seemed rife with A QUOD D¥AL OF MEANING. Nay, it told all it meant, Ai 1 soothsayor enough to tell exactly what iteaid? I trow not. After dinuor, ovorybody was promptly in his place by 2,—Mr. Moulton wiping hie muetache asif he had just dinod, and dived woll, Mr. ‘Tilton did uot return until quito Inte, but Mr. Beocher and his pbalanx af frionds wore at their posts several moments before Sir. Malloson, the Clork, shouted for ' Prank D, Moulton.” ‘The afternoon's soasion began with a mero Identification of the loug and welaucholy letter tn which Mr, Beecher depicted the horrors of Lis situation, As Mr. Fullerton read it in weirdly sulomn tones, phrasing it deliberately, biatatet it alowly, and tolling ita funoral souseuces abroa: like the lingering echoes of a deatl-bell, & great ailonce occupicd the Cours. Tilton looked into Moulton’s eyes ag Fullorton led out that fateful letter, aud Moulton tixod ha om with s kindly smile upon bis iournful trend. rs, Moulton kept on biting her fingors, end ow paler and paler as the counwe! repeated, iv Beceuor's own tones, Beocher’y description of his awful aufferingy und the terrible strain upon Lis nervous syste, Bra. Boechor glared as uacal at the reader. But Mr. Beecher'a wau the face to wtudy, Whou Bir, Fullerton reached the poregrapbe in which ho spoke of hig villcnitios at home, his sleopleas nights, bls Buuday exhauetion, and ‘THe TOMTOLES OF THE DAMNED,” Mr, Beecher's right band juvoluntarily ofonched the back of bis bead, as if to doaten gome torture writhing in his brain. Hig mouth oponed, without making # wound, hiv oyes con- tracted, and hig lips grow dry. Yerhaps tuat dreadful picturo, paintud by his own master- hand, aud exhibited by the appreciative genius of Judge Fullerton in @ manuer acurcoly less appailug, plagued him with its reduecttsted hotrore almost as much as thoy did originally, Ho really shruuk into his clovhey, and, whatever the cause was, writhed in bis chair, Mr. Moultoa, during tho day, proved himself the posscasor of at least two admirable qualities, SELY-CONTHOF.
