Spectal Dispatel o The Chicaco Tribune, Droosryy, N.Y., Fob. 0.—Of all the direst winds that may blow the coldest and eruclest was tho blast which romped upand down il the streets of Braoklyn this morning. If icobergsin thio neighborhood give out this mairow-freezing cold, then, iu good faith, wo muat be shivering outho edgoof an fmmersed glacior, No plaeo of amusement does well this weathior, and in common with 1ts more orthodos fellows, tho City-Court show suffored a perceptible decreass of patronago, But: diminution of nttoudance guarantees at least purer air and larger elbow- room. ey, Whon tho proceedings roached adjonrnment yostordny evening, Tilton was very ill ; lus faco was lined with furrows ; his oyes wero dull and Lloodshot, and his goneral appearance suggostivo of oxtremo cxlnustion. This morning ho looked very littlo bottor. The malady which afiliots hira most is sleeplessness, If ho could obtain two or threo mights of perfeet reposo the wrinkles would permanently dicappenr instead of ro- curriug whenover Lo snffers from norvous rolax- ation. Yot though hus physical indisposition was a topic of much debate, his mentat poiseand self-control were kopt up to au abnormal degree. Ife bore himself with groeat eelf-consciousnose, a8 if fully awaro of hostile cborvation, but not in any way abashed thercby. Hin cgotism is wuperb. No man over felt all thio elements of to be ro nensibly, 80 acutoly, ns does Tilvon, 1l lives both outside nnd fusido of himself. Tioinlike tho eatisficd owner of n Louso, who, after frequently eallying out to fn- spect its completo appearance, re-enters it and leans affably out of an upper window to ecatch the murmur of popular admiration. Tilton ia not proud of Tilton Limaelf, Lut of all that Til- ton rays or doos,—the oxternala of tho man, not tho iuner, unsearchasle, immeasurablo, inscrut- able mpitit which tenants thoro materials, and which nover protends Lo bo sclf-croated. Jecchor and Lis wifo arrived lato, as they in- variablv arrive now-n-days. Caldwell and his extraordinary pantomime which even smused Reecher, no queint and s0 grotesque wero the lawyer's gostures. [ THE WORK. A HALP-HOUR'S INCEEYING, Tha procoedings really began with a rovival of the queation of Tilton's property. 1t scems that Ready, ons of Beechor's attarioys, has beon nos- ing wround in siarch of diserepanciea Lotween Tilton's siateinouts and the facts, Tilton Lap- pened, in bis literary fgnorance of businese, to omit menilon ¢f a mortgage on & smatl picco of property inciuded in his liet of assots. Quito half an hour was wasted this morning in convincing )l hands that the error was not » vital one. laving ria himself of the aypalling nference that Tilton had stooced to forawear himself abont o miserabla littls thoucand-doliar lot of Jersey real estate, Lvatls rosumed his Journey neroen the wastes of cross-cxamvation like a ronted and ivvigoruted dramadary, From tho queatiou of property be proceeded to inqure into the motive which led Tiltun to obtain his wile's confession and ehow it to Beecher. Tho next point was mide to provo that, when Tiltan and Bowen parted company, Bowen considercd all Tilton's clnims szainst him eatisfied, and that Tilton's rubsequent demand for compeneation for break- ago of contsact was an afterthought. Jvarts' object was to khow that Dowen and Tilton felf out on tha 318t of Deceraber, 187, and that the famous intesviesr with Ieccher at Moulton's houne way directly connectod with tho recoipt of Bowen's dikmissal of Tilton on tho same night. An it turned out, however, Tilton did not tell Moutton that night of Dowen's dismissnl of hum, becauze boulton was absent en- gaged in rocovering Mrs, Tilton's lettsr of retraction of Deccher. The only conncetion, therelore, hetween Bowen's letter of disminsal and Moulton's embausy to Badchoer was a coin- cidenco of date. [ Evarts asked whers Monlton was when Tilton called upon him for advice in the almost simul- tancons, Lut actuslly sucoessivo, trouble. A.— Monlton camo in from Beeclier's bouse a little Inter in the evening, Q.—Did you continue the {nterviow there, or did you go out in tho stroet? A,—Ve contin- ued tbo interview tiere, and I think that, later in tho evening, wo wout out into tho etrect to linton to them. That 18 mv rocolloction, Q.—Wlon you firat saw Moulton at his Louso, Didn't you invite him out of doura? A.—No, I didn't invito bim, Q.—Dido't invito him immediately? A.—Did not immediately. Ilo lnvited mo to road the noto hie had got from Mr, Ieocher first, Yo had Just brought home the retraction. Q.—Do you remember l.ow many hovrs you walked tho stroots that night with Afr, Moulton ? A.—I don't thiuk we walicd & groat many hours, 31y recollection ia that, just as the yesr was stepptng across the bridge into the new one wo went out to hear the chimes of 8t Ann's. Aftor oma very uninterosting and apparently trivial queetions futo thio mauner in which tho famous roply to Bowen’s letter of dismissal was composed, the cross-examination adverted to the Bowon arbitration with no romarkable reault. . WIERE TIE STORIES SLARTED, At 1ast, ono of the main objective pojats of tho defenso was reached, showing that Tilton was the fountain-head from which all the stories of his wife's fall proceaded. This is how Evarts handled that portion of his reservea: Q.—A# 1 undorstand the mutier, all that had pessed between you gnd Mouiton and Beocher regarding any relatlons with your wife during this period wero confidentinl, and for the pur- pose of being kept Beeret, and assisting in koep- ing secret whatever those relationa wera, A.— Yos, &ir; that was Moulton's Iabor in tho mattor, Q.—And thoconforonce and action toward that dosign wero not Intonaed to bo made public, wero thoy? A.—Not at all, sir. Q.—Did you evor suspect Mr. Beecher of hav- ing communicated to Mrs. Woodbull the basis of lior threat of May 422 A.—No, sir ; nor to auny other person. Q.—Did you euspect Moulton? A.—No, air; JMoulton is above suapicion. Q.—When sho told you hor etory it was un- connected with the varions other people whom rank-and-filo havo subsided, and, of all the rog- uler Plymouth Old Guard, only himsel?, Moses” A. ench, and Talmadge, lately Clork of tho Church, survive (o go throngh tho manual of armg, Even that imposing coremony can only be performed whon Hin Honor, or rather Hiy Ifonor's clork, proclaims recoss. Deecher was noticably paler than uenal, and thera was a very eovero gravity in his foaturos. Just undor his ight oyo, on the crown of (ho right cheek-bone, was o Dbloud-red spot which locked Jike & Dullet-wound, Wnalever occasioned the disfignrement, it was observed by most of tho spoctators all tho morning. o looked out of tho window up at . the aky oocasionally, placing his Hght foretiuger upon his lipa as if prescribing milenco cither ta hluelf or some {magiuary speaker. Mrs, Decche ur waggo ill that oven the fever-spot hus disap- peared from each cheok, and hor whole being #eomed sufTused by drawsiness, Sho apparently onjoys tho privilege of being able to sleep with lier eyes open upon Clovelund, Deputy-Shep- herd Halliday. Moses Beach, and four or fivo other irrepressible honchimen gunarded thelr pastor, and with solemn if not sagacious protee- tion. THE WANNER OF TILE ACTOUS, Tilton, though mauitestly out of hoalth, was cool, calm, and passioniess, Not sn Lvarte, Yosterdny tho latter, whon his day's work was done, took the former by the hand and exprossed his regret that the wituces' cross-examination had boon aggravatod by his evident illnoss, To- day Lvasta renowed tho altack upon Tilton with asmuch yiolence and acrimony as if bo hated bim from the very bottom of his heart, and yearnod to annihilate bim with each question. The coolor Tiltcn grew, tho hotter and more furioun grow Fvarts, who, ot lant, throw his inquirics at the head of his victim with 8 shriek, s if thoy were doadly projectiles. It was & guotont Lombarding » breastwork of cotton- bales; shot and suell etarted with a crash, but Lrought up with a flat, dull thud. Tho first pas- sage-at-arns occurred when Evarts—always on crescendo—bogan & question, * Were you afraid—-"" *No, sir," broke in Tilton quickly but mildly, Evarts was taken abaclk, Houtared blankly at tho witness for a moment, and then taking breath, began again, *Wero you afraid—-" *No, mir, not at all,” shot out of Tillon's mouth as conciely, as intertuntingly, a8 boforo. This was too much for Lvorts, Gaspilug with rage ho criod: * What do you mean by answering my quostions beforo I begln them " Tho audienco laughed, but Tilton scom- ed nutounded at tho lawyer's wrath. The deli- cato phraccology vwhizh Tilton constantly puts forth like blossoms flowered once mora to-day in hiv poetio description of tho walk which ho and Moulton took oo Now-Yoar's Eve, 1871, Livarts fogged bis memory with referonce to that mournful wanderivg through the streots, and particularly insisted on eatablisbing the very hour, ‘Titon fixed it by saying that Lo rememborod Learing the bolls of Bt.

Ford as to tho construc- tion of tho fire-brand Howen-letter, Evarts mado some minor orrors as to tho phrasiug of Lis query. Bhearman provoked a goneral laugh by Jumping up like a jack-in-the-box and whispor- ivg in Evarte’ oar, Evaite indulged in some . sho attorward namea s hor suthority? A.—~ Yes. " Q.—At that timo (May, 1871, sho did nat give younny suthority? A.—No, 3 I meked ber, nud sho declined, Q.-—You sy youreed that noto with a shud- der. A.—Yes, sir, Q.—1fad you suy doubt, when yon road it, thnt 1eforanco to a distinguished teacher and wife of another distinguisned teacher would bo understood by the public in Brookiyn as rolating io Mr. Decchor and you? A.—No, sir; I badn'%t any thought that the public would underatnml it. Tut, when sho putit intomy hand, and X read it, T wwiftly ln- terproted it to myself and, ay it contaived a threat of publieation and exposure, 1 shuddeiod from Lead to foot 1 contemplation of it Q.—1t did not etrike you thon that the publi- catlon would Ik thoe public'a haviog an ides that your family and Beecher were referred to by it? A.~No, sir, not tho card itself; but tho card conlainod & throat to expose theso facts darkly mnted ot in it, aud it wos that throat- oned publication whicl would have carried dis- 1may through our bousehold. Q.—You did not think that anybody in Drook- Iyn, whero thers aro so many teachers, would havo thought which wore meant? A,—Thero wonld have been n small, narrow circle that would have known,*but the great publio would not have known. Q.—Does not a small, narrow cirele 10 scandal tend to hecomo a much wider citcle? A—~I think it does; yos, slr. Q.—Now, a8 you didn't suspoct Boccher or Moulton of having informed Mrs, Woodhull, how did you imsgine she got her information? A.— Through the open gate of the lips of Mra. Na- than B, Morne, ‘This was Tilton's firat shot st his cccontrio mother-in-law, and it wout homo fo overy man i the audienco similarly endowed, Everybody laughed so loud that the Judge seized his gavel, and, for one moment, suspended 1t hko Mahom- wot's coftin, between enrth snd sky. Tho meunco reealied tho crowd to sobrioty, Tha lawyer aud witnoss plodded on ¢ Q.—That was your theory? X.—Ves, slr; not that it wout from Mrs, Sloro to Mrs. Woodbhull, but thiat it went to many mouths, Mrs. Morso was in tho Labit of saying that 1 made tuch and such charges, and they got to Mrs, Woodhull's ears, Q.—You suspected, then, what Mrs. Morse had publicly saig? A, rivately, sir. Q.—Woll, privately, With publicity you don't mean that thie whispered it in Mra, Woodlll's car? A,—No, sho didu’t whispor it lu anybody's ear, but spoke It out loud. [ Laaghter.] Q.—Iundorstaud that neither you, nor Mout ton, nor Ieocher hud communicated theso con- ferencon thas tock place between you to any- body? A,—Tcan't speak for Beecher or for Moulton, Iupoke tos few of my frisnds about cortain of the manouvres that were bemg made. Q.—~During this period? A.~VYes; for in- stanco, I said to many fiisuds that Mr, Baecher biad demanded $ho noto of retraction. Q.—~1 won't tako any * for inatances,” Thisia @ cross-examiunation. —Don't make it more cross, then, ‘This pun secmed to slip out of Tilton's mouth qulte at randem.

Q.—Now, theao Interviaws had been dnring that interval befors May, 1671, more or less of confidential conforences 7 A.—Yea, ir. Q.—Tbey had boen confidential commaunics- tlous? A.—Yes, sir; I can't answer whether Deecher had considered thom confidential or Moulton had, but I had spoker to some of my friends. Dut, understand, that whatever I com- municated, 1 never mpoke to Mra. Tilton's ila- traction; Luat{ wasnever suxious to sparo Mr. Beeclier, Q.—Although they all aided to disclosures about your wifa? A.—No, sir ; tho only protec- tion which I put over Boacher was just so far as 1t wae neceseary to protect Mrw, Tilton, and, if it liad not been necessary to protect Mra, Tilton, I would iave allowed Deecher to go Lo his destruc- tion four years ago, 3 Q:—Wo undotatand your disposition, Mr. Til- ton. Itis pretty difoult to uoderstand, bnt, «till, all the motive of going to Beecher was solic- {tude o protect Mrs. Ttlton 7 A.—Yor, sir. Q.—And yet, after that, you do not scruplo to tell as much as you choose of the conidential matiers botween you, Moulton, and Beecher ? A.—T nover bind & confldence with Ioury Ward Beoclier {u my lifo. The last reply was given in n tone of scornful hato, and rang through the conrt-room. It caught Beochier staring up a¢ tho coiling, Ho dropped his eyes, Lis face sweliod for a minute, and & sudden throb of his arteries filled his forchead and cheeks with Llood. There was a dramatic murmur, aod the business proceeded, Q—Iundoratand vou to eay that, notwith- standing the wholo motive of thin interviow of tho 30th and what followed it was to protect your wife, end not love to Ar. Beechor, yet you did not scruple immediately aftorward todmclose as much a8 you pleasod of what was going on? A.—Yes, sir, Idid. I was under no obligation to keep anythiny secret, excopt for the sake of my wife, and ot for the sake of Beacher. e Q.—1 hizve not asked you anything about thst. I want to koow whethor you did it. A.~Yes, sir, 1 did, to those Ihad praviouely spoken to about the matier. Q.—Now, so far a8 you know, was not it from your transactions that there ever came the firat allegation of the trauasctions then purposed and carried on during that early season that finally reached 3rs.{Woodhull? A.—No, eir, it was Mre., Moree. Q.—ITow did she find out what had passed confidentially between yourself, Deecher, and Moulton? A.~Bocause [ told her, and she told all the world. [Laughter.) Q.—You know that ? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—And sbo was one of the persoue you told ? A.—Yos, sir. [Renowed langhter.] Q.—Aud you know Ler iutirmity wken you told her? A,—Yes, sir. Livery man in court who labored under a motber-in-law, and every man iu court who con- templated that foarful possibility, opoued ins mouth and shouted with lsuchter. Mrs. Tilton beruclt milod at her husbond's tribute to her mother's garrulity, and even Beccber looked aa 1f he would like to lsugh, but dared not in pres- once of hug wife. The Judgo, however, throw cold wator on the morriment with & threat to adjourn court, upon which Evarts rosumed the crosa-examination, Q.—Was any part cf your shudder, when Jflll rend this card of Mra. Woodhuil, oceanioned by your fesr that your own imprudence might have contributed to her knowledgo 7 -1 dou’t un- doratand how to divide the sinddering ; it was a spasm of agonized feeling on my part. What its component parts were I do not remomber. It ‘was a great surprise. Q.-—~You did then have it on your mind that you had told Mre, Blorso, and kusw hor infirm- ity? A.—IL instantly imagined whence the etories camo, Aftoranother recurronce to the snbject of Til- tou's contract with Bowen, and how Lowen came to owe Tilton %7,000, the cross-oxamination went into dotails ss to the management of the Union.
