This morning it was resumed by Evarta at the samo point, his early inquiries boing limited to a definition of any difforence which existed botweon the political opinions of the plaintiff and the dofendant. The dinlogus soemed trivial to tho andience, and, indeed, bo- camo very todious, until Mr, Evarts uniutention. ally nfforded opportunity for a laugh, Ilo asked in his bastiest and most unpleasant tone what Tilton'a slatus was ut tho time of tho ever ro- current Cloveland letter.

'I'ho audieuce, without knowing why. was on & broad grin through all the quaint rvecitatlon. The idea of such & dusty logal- skeleton aa Evarts mouthing o temder hittle bit of love nonsouge convulsed tho biouse. It was an jmwense comis succoss, Tilton's vavicy was vierced to the core by tho shout of laughter which awarded Lvarts' Jast grimnco. In that shout Mr, Dosohor joined as lustily as anybody olve, aud b wite showed her whito testh in one Logs. of her bitter smles, Mra. Tilton laughod, snd the Jndgo chucklod grimly. Thera was nothing o ridiculons in the versea as to dererve tha pop- ular merriment. The joke muet havo consiated in Evarts’ impersonation of jeuns premier. The devieo, if 1t wan o devico, overwhelmed Tilton for full five minutes with & flaod of disparaging mirta, e werithed in hia chair, and showed the keenncas of the thrust in the workivgs of bis face. An articlo entitled 10N SIEMORIAM~THEODONE TILTOY,” from tho flearth and Iome, wan then read, in which thhe gocinl and moral death of Theodore Pilton wos doplored, aud reference made to s « prando Tilton, who uned tho graces of rhetoric to gild tao character of o woman about whom it in onongh to say tuat eho editn & paper ahomina- blo in morals and coarss In it utterances.™ Following this was tho reply of Tilton, wherein ho densed that he was an edvorate of froe love, but reasuerted Lis provioud opinion &8 Lo mar- riage and divorco, making & quasi acknowledg- ment that ho was & Spiritaahet. aud boldly pro- claiming that e was o Communiat, and would wear a 10seita in hia button-hole, snd pray God to wpced the caure. 1In another articlo, IN ANSWEN TO A LETTER FROM MR, GREELEY, aaking for his deilvition of frco-love, Tilton wont on the recordn as havivg written this : You as me what T mean by freclove, Letme fl- lurtrate: lero are a husband and wife, each 50 yests old, wha havo lived in weillock a quarter of u century nnd had Alx or elght chilizen, of whom balf sutvive, Tho paius and cares of maternity Lave carly worn oub (he wife, while lhu husband s ju the prime of manly vigor and sirength, He Dan Blled n wider sphere, and enjoged better opportu- nitien for mental culturo than she los, and feels bimuelf her intollectual mujerior.

Au effort was bero mado ta get tu an extract from a speech from Mis, Woodhull, delivered in Troy, umt copiod by the Goldm Age without comment., Ar.

Upon what priaciplo was Tilton to bo judged oy on article in his puper whiu it did not appear even presumptivoly that o was uejunint- e with its contauts, which might express opin- gnant to him ? < s contended that, having shown that Mr. ‘Tilton was the editor and proprietor of the newapaper, tho reapousibilisy of whatover is put forth in its lésucs tojthe publie, sud \hich tho public hay roasok for douounciug, falls upon Lim.

Tullerton thought it {ll-bocame Boecher to try to forco soutimonts of Mrs, Woodbull on Tilton, in view of tho fuct that the biography was writ- ten by Tilton after consultation with teeclier, in orer to suppross the scaudal.
