Y., Feb. 13.—The unexpected intermission ef yesterday nas only served to whet popular coriosity, because up to tbe present nothing evideat or dramatic has been developed by the cross-sxamivation. Taere is & general expectanoy that romething or other is going to vurn up before the final * That's all” shall have been pronounced. Thanks to the vitality of publio faith, lovarts’ handliog of Tilton up tothe preseut has been looked upon as the play of s cat with » monse. By and by, at the end of all this rough aud tumble repartee, the talons will strike homo * and Lifs blood spirt. Lhat is the ctoed of Plymouth, and that has come to e the last despairiog hope of the casual spec- tator. Morday afteruoon Tilton will float out of tho tricky shallows of cross-examination into the convoy of his own attorneys, unless a tor- pedo lurks at the mouth of the channel and blows him sky-high in au unexpected explosion. I Liave patiently endeavored to sum up the RESGLTS OF THE CROSS-EXAMINATION, and, to my inexperienced and uninstructed judg-' meut, the footing up falls considerasly short of 26ro. Whatif Tilion paired off disconsolately with Woodhull? What it ho entertaned an early jealousy of Beecher? What if he drafted one or two milder versious of his tragedy under the inftuence of a hope to slueld and excuse his wifo? All that irrelavant showing did not need Evart's high-priced demonstration, nor_does it all zolate to Beecher's present jeopardy between convietion and acquittal of adulters. Of course Tilton has not coine ons of the ordeal sa clear or 28 strong as Moulton, Moniten's relation to the caye was a very diferent one. He was an out- post to ekirmish with and surprise. Tiltonisa citadel to take and raze with sword and fire. oulton was a confidant, squeezed by mortal pressurs into a revelation so taoronghly complate that it particalarized even the lies he was persuaded, only 100 willingls, to tell in be- half of mecracy. 'Whiton's very beartstrings aro woven into the fabric of Lis sto.y, and every time that fabric shakes ia the popalar breeze how ean he, wouk, helpless, bosish creatura as bie is, keep fiom trembling with anguish in his chair. WOODHULL HAS RETURNED from *he Weat, and is prowling like a hvena on tne outskirts of the scandal, eager to dovour the corpaes of either side with an impartial huoger. She in readytoswear,sweet, testificatory soul, that Beecher was intimate with her; thst Tilton mointained tbe uncleanliest relations with ber; aod that Monlton poared ont bis secrots with his Burgundy 1n bis own famous parlors. Neither sids cares to risk the peril of citiog her as a wit- ness. She i8 o weapon more dangerous in the reco.l than in the discharge, and both parties avoid the danger with a significant haste. Dat 1f Woodbull will be disappoiuted in her fraatic efforts to reach the stand, there ia & possibility that BOWEN WILL BE DALEED in bis attempt to keep out of the fated chnir. It ia not very casy to see how he can evade the ne- cecessity. He hea openly stated that he takes back none of his stories against Beccher. He ingists that he consented to be si'ent only be- cause Claflin besought him to sign Lhe sgreement, and at this verv time Bowen affirms that if Beecher attempts to show that he was concerned ia hi wen's) dismigsal of Tilton from the I and the Union, he. (Bowen) is ready and desirons to show that so much of Beecher's defense as dependsupon his remorse for having assisted at ‘lilton’s disgraca is absolutely base- lees. Monday will produce something, if only far- tber disappointment. e ——— BROOKLYN GOSS!P. ¥ BEECHER CEASING TO * DEAW "—THE APOTHEOSIS OF MOTHER-IN-LAW—NQ APPARENT BESULTS FROM TILTON'S CROSS-EXAMINATION—FERSONAL SKETCIES—XORE CLERICAL SCANDALS. Special Correapondencs to The Chvaco Tribune. BROOKLYN, Feb. 11.—When Tilton responded to Dr. Bacon's indictment of him 28 an ungrate- ful dog, with suggestions atleast of the truth, the leading newspaper of Brooklyn boldly averred that, however Alr. Beecher might have sinued, it was AGAINST THE IXTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY even to consider the charges against him, **Mr. Baocher,” argued the Zagle, “is such a meces- sary eloment of our social economy, has done so much for the concrstion pf our city, has been in so many ways, sud in such o large degree, the leader of public sentiment, that to lose him on any ground will be to destroy our very underpinnings.” (a other words, Mr. Beecher was not only so usefal, but so vaguely swfal, so much of s potential ab- straction, that to measure him Dy the ordinary moral Iaw would be as irrational 2s to' sum up the contents of the Ridgewood reservoir in apothecaries’ weight. “To judge such excep- tional humanity, and, above ail, such a barm- onizerof local forces, by the code of every day,” protested the Eagle, *is not only imposaible, bat [s grave aod more compalsive® argument, politically] is undesirable.’ That was the tone of tho Eagle last summer, and that was likewise the tone of Brooklyn sen-- timent. Our people regarded it, if no as felo- de-se, at least 2s & eort of parricide, to hustle Heury Ward Beecher into court aad try him for seduction and adaltery. Not- that this was the firat fleck on an immaculste character. For twenty years many grim and unsppeassble rumors have haunted the old brick charch. All great men, even in undegenerate times, have walked with their headsina cloud of poisonous flies. Beecher has never beenan exception to that hurtful rule. As far bsck as he is remembered here, UOLY FDITS OF MORAL LATITY bave buzzed about s careless person. The pervad waxy rocurrence of those vaguo and impalpable | him. He has evideatly never been inside a the- charges protected him. If Tilton's circumstsn- tial history had never been preceded by forerun- Ders, tho suddenness of the shock might have surprised either Beecher into confession, or his triends into hesitanoy and despair. It was becsuse the theme had already been {ruitfal ia & handred variations, that the gravest and most positive of them all had no deadlier effect than the cry of a long-sxpected attack on strong and vigilant pickets. It thrilled the faithfal with & momert’s exquisite terror, and then they united in a sbont of defiance. But though, day afser day, the devont Sll the City Court, fondly expecting to assist at the ex- tinction of Tiiton and the ocanomzation of Beecher, the masses have FALLEN AWAY FEOM ‘THEIE SUPERSTITIOUS ALLE- GLANCE. * Io places whers it was sacrilege to discuss the posaibilities of the trial, hot and even debats wow flows uninterruptedly. Tae prestigs of Ply- “mouth, if not of Beecher, has vavished like a moroing mist. The city realizes that a cler- gywan may be tried for & graver hazard than lifeand death without deranging 1ts municipal machinery, or even distarbing ita religions ad- ju;fin-nlg _ At firat an Armageddou. with all the £00d Christians of heresbouts watching from the peighboring hill-tops, it has become a tickling comedy, with broader Englist® than Wycherly's, and 0o room in the reserved seats. Worst of a'l, even as theleading actor in what Mr. Daly would call **a drama of the most absorbing contcmpo- | saneous interest,” Ar. Bescher is ceasing to As the trial procaeds, more and more cleatly, to our great disappointment, do we discover that the plainest and commouest,ef us all mght have done evarything that these eminent men and women have dona, excopt, perhsps, ths writing of their wonderful letcers. It does not need an :Em-glleghpm" that all the gold is tiusel, the horoics fastinn and bombast, all the froth and frenzy were vain and empty champing. ABeechg' her makes caramels inan Elizabeth Til- ton's kitohen ; & social reformer goes aurf-bath- il:!: with a harlot; a priocipal lawver sells his clients out to the higheat bidder ; and a desorted busband coaxes his ruoawsy wifo home by kid- napping_her baby. Towering above all the smoks of battle, heard through all its hurly- burly, is the prosy genius of THE MOTHER-IN-LAW. On that grim pivot, old womsn iorse, swings the wholo prodigions engine. It was her fel genius which drove wedge-like between tke Til- tons, It was her ceaseless'talsing which im- pelled ber dsughter to the earlier separations. It was her guilefal garrulity which wound cords abont the trustful wife and the thoughtless min- ister, And, when the miechief was done, it was her destractive influsnce which opened a way for exposare. _Verily, this is the spotheosis of Mother-in-Law, . It is fair to assume, at this date, that the tross-examination of Tilton is almost over. From an originelly historic coberence. the ques- tions have wandered off into geveralities. ‘The solid battalions of the inguisition have tramped D3st in review. What follow are tho stiagzting sharpshooters, random tirailiears marshaled in 10 order aud inspired by an inGefinite purposs. Gt course, when oue is not permitted to share in the council of war at which Evarts and Porter prescribe the achome of defense, one is bardly in a position to estimate tho results of the cross- exsmination st their comparative value. In their mers positive aspect, TUEY SEEM WORTHLESS. Indeed, it ia bard to believo that Evarts was animated by any formal design or looked to any gpject when be sssumed the task of entaugling Tilton in contradictions or discrepancies. If any propasitions have besn demonstiated out of Tii- tou’s own mouth, they are positive propoeitions, pregnant with no negatory force. They relate to Tilton’s_theoretic.abarzations ;- 40- his-mono- maniac alfection for his wife; to his egotism ; to the manifest and long-admitted disturbauce of his home; to his fanstio alliance witn 3lrs. Woodbull; to the constsncy with which, in hia wifa’s bebalf, he denied all efories reflectiog hurt to her, uotil'exposare and trath-telling became inevitable; to his critical disparagement of Beecher: to his jealousy; to tme many defects in his character which pot even bis most °“intimate friends venture to dis- pute. Over thoee varions topics the cross-examination goamed as willfuily and as keonly as & March gale. Bat it has nol searched for differences 1n Tilton's story. It has not im- psacked the anchoaticity of the letters he pro- duced. It has nof dealt with the main facls of his solemn and capital indictment of Heunry Ward Beecher as an adulterer. That is whv impartial witnesses of the cootroversy marvel at the tenuity of the dofense so far prefigured, and that is why the votaries of Plymonth tarn their backs on the pastand presest, and look steadfastly into the future for the *‘thunder- bols " which may—or may not—be cowing. There is either something in reserve so tre- mendous as to b anninilating—or THERZ 1S NOTHING AT ALL. Thres attendants, not ooly of Mr. Beecher, bat of the trial, have a0 far escaped my descrip- tion. Ouoe of these is Mr. Moses H. Beach, who “ edited " the New York Sus beforsa Dana pur- chased it. It certaioly did not need even snch aniotelligence a8 Mr. Bescl’s to *edit™ the origmnal Sun. But out of that automatic orb Mr. Beach contrived 10 smelt a fortune, which, with a very proper spirit, he largely iovosted im Beecher stock. Since his retirement from the arduous vocation on the mere surface of which be skipped like a May fly, Mr. Beach has rested bhis claims to the contidera- tion of posterity flgon one columnar iocident,— bis connection with the Quaker City excarsion, which first introduced Mark Twain to_the world a8 a humonst. When the Qoaker City was tied .0 her dock, Mr. Beach vanished from the range of mortal ken. But it only took his pastor’s ap- pearance in the City Court to bring bim once more into davlight. Ever since the first day of the trial, ha bas sat behind Mr. Beecher, and manifested all the zeal of a valet in helgmz the great defendant to take off and put oo his over- cant. ‘Ho also rises, occasionally, to the dignity o CALLING HIS CARRIAGE. Mr. Beach is a very small, whiskerless person, whose face is always dark with that suggestion of & one day's beard which belongs to the typical low comedian off the stage. Iodeed, Mr. Beaca is not uptike Mr, J. L.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribuna : The infmitable pea-painter of the Beecher trial for Tax TRIBUNE says the scandal is bring- iog large accessions to the Catholic and Episco- palian Churches, becausa peoplo feel thatthere iy too much prozresa io Beether's Church. This is no doubt true, but the expedient is very Like thay of the pea, which concluded the frying-pan was t00 hot, and o jumped into the fire. There is & much mere classical way of expressing this ides, fn which two long nsmes, which I have quits forgotten, stand for frying-pan and fire; but L bave never seen eithex of the places. know othing about them, and have seen plenty af frying-pans, plenty of fires, sod rlenty of peas and pop-corns go suddenly from one to ths other, withont in any way betteriog their condi- tion ; and 8o prefer talkiog of thiogs I koow. That peopls who go into old conservative Charches to get away from scandals DO ADOPT THIS PEA POLICY must be very plain to any one even moderstely conversant with history. One round handred Beecher acandals would not equal those of the Borgia family, all enacted in the highest places of the Mother Church. Then we should want & thousand mors to offset those of the religions houses of Spain, as they were exposed by being violently broken open. Beacher and his whols congregation, if they setabout it with a ill, could not, in the whole course of their lives, equal tha nnmber and atrocity of clerical scandals whick drove the once Cathchie Kingdom of Eogland inte tebellion againat the Roman See ; 2nd there never has been a tims, for centuries, when_there bava Dot boen men, oncs priests and members in thag Church, who have not publiciy professed to have been driven outof 1t by the corruptions which had crept in, and who made a business of espog- ing them. ‘The Eriscopalian, like all other Protestand Churches, owes her origin, first, to the pretests of men who came out of the Catholic Chorch on account of her scandals; and, second, to the ecandal of Henry the Eighth divorcing & blame- iess wife that he might marry ber waitinz-maid ; and, during his life as Head of thas Church, he kevt up a plontifal supply of seand+1s by gettiog M2, TALLYADGE, who led Mr. Shearman in the (:luhhixx of the Charch, and whoinakes a point of attending each and every session of thetrial. Mr. Talimadge is perhaps 32 years of age, with calm, sanctified features, s brown goates, and & glossy head of bair, which is always shining with pomads, He is the embodiment of those qgualities which are said to combine in Deacon Bmith’s ‘“true good- ness.” A self-conscionsness of virtue a8 nd of wearisome wives very much &3 people now do of surplus kittens. Up to this time, the Episcopslian Chnreb, like the old mother from which she sprang, bas contriboted a goodly number to the Lst of nsmes of thoss ** who shall walk ic white bee cause they are wortny,” and likewise has far- nished a long roll of tnoss who have sadly failed in maintaining that purity of lifo and conver- gation ** bacoming the Gospel.” The fax-hunt- ing, drinking, licentious clerzy of ths Establish- ed Cburch of England, to day, ate doing for her what a mimilsr class of wolves in sheep’s cloth- ing did for the Catholic Church some centuries g0 ; and it is but & few rears mnca tha Bishoy Onderdunk scandals rocked that Church to i centre in this conatry. X0 OBTHODOXY Dbas heretofore aimed to nrevent scaudal in any Church, Those connected with Methodist re- vivals and camp-meetings are notorions ; aud in Pittsburg, some fifty years ago, on gronnd now in the city limits, the Presbvierians held a camp~ meeting, a: which there was *a great awakea- ng,” with such o flood of immcrality that the denomination has never since held 2 camp-meet- ing. It ia racely s week pusses that the press does not give some acconot of crime and un- cleanness in some orthodox preacuer, and tha trouble is not new. Read the Episiles of the Apostles to the gl’imitive Churches, and we wusé conclude that Christians were worse in tboss days than theyare now, and the only wayin which we can learn to thiok lenirntly of them is by comparing them with other folks. Bad a8 were the primitive Christians, ti wero better than *the heatben aroand about them. In the first Church, with its twelve mem- be:s, thers was, to be sore, one thief; but doos hiatory furnish any aczoust of any other ssso~ ciatioa in which thera were eleven honest men to every thief7 The early Christiana had all to straggie with the old habits learned outatde the Courch. Roman Christianity was corrupted by Roman heathenism. Episcopalisnism inberited tho taiot of which all other Churches got & full share; but whencs comes ths public senti- ment, which arises like s giant refreaned by sleep, aud demands purity oo the park of puble teachers? Whence, save from the general teaching of those Chbristiau principles Which are impartial, immutable, which eafightan ihe nnderstandings and quicken the consczances ofmen? It is by the rule of Mr. Baechars teachings that we try Mr. Beecher’s life ; and, while the ** Liberal " Charches can well afford ta offset their Beecher against the Catuolic Borgias, Episcopalizn Onderdouks, and Puritan divines immortalized in ** Hudibras,” Christisnity itself ‘mav weigh her whole collection of transgressars against those of that * World” whose childron rejoice when a professor falls, exclaiming, * Lo! he has become like one of us!” What is Beecher com&lred to Fiek? What the Borgias compared to Calignla? Man is but & conglomerate, an incongruons compound, composed of a handful of earth and s breath of God. The twodonot live in har mony. Representing, as they do, the animal and the divine, THERE MUST EE CONFLICT,' and all forces called in on either side as aflies are liable to disasters, repulses, losses, in the flactuating warfare. Christiauity is toe moat potent ally which has yet appeared on the divine side, snd only those who have espoased the other side of the quarrel can consiatently be indifferent, mauch less rejoice, whon any form of it fails in any instance to sccomplish that whereunto i ‘was sent. No gocd man can fail o be sorrowful for all this scandal, and the spparent determina- tion of Plymouth Church to sustain Mr. Beecher, right or wrocg, must add to the regret; but neither is this pheaomenal. *The Faithfal™ bave always steadfastly refosed to condemn de- h'n’?uam prieats in the old Chburch commurion; and there probsbly never was a criminal of "h?:::i. guilt soms party did not refuse to be con- ving Toe human facuity of resisting credence is in- calcalable.
