Speciat Correspundence of The Chicag Tribune, Buooxtyn, Feb. 25,—Now that the prosecution has rested its cago, we have an excellent oppor- tunity to take breath, and review the accomplish- ments of Tilton’s shrewd counselors. Their plan of attack has beon most artfal. They have not only displayed all tho details and corrobora~ tions of thelr charge, but, as well, have prepared their exposure, ina very large degree, for the roejoinders of the defense. Not s position has been advanced without regard, not merely to ag- gression, but also to reinforcement. Their sov- eral divisions of evidence remind mé of 5 chain of fronticr fortresses, each substantial and im- pregnable in itself, but none of them unprovid- ed with # bagis of relief. ‘They have a’so exhibited a nice sense of DRAMATIC CONSTRUCTION, though they have had actual recourse to few of the theatrical artifices, which, upon go vast 5 stage, might almost baye been mistaken for reality. Their testimony has been slowly but completely cumulative, having for its climax the doomsday statement of Mrs. Moulton, For in- stance, the music for Mouiton’s own appearance in the dramas, as officially represented in the City-Court, was the rude but martial. trumpeting |-fresh of Morris. With the echo of his fapfargnade still ringing in the jury’s ears, clang! gods the prompter’s bell, and enter the second character of the play. His bearing fills and satisies the public expectation for two weeks; and then exit after the heroic manner. A diversion of corroborative eymphonies on the deep bassoon of Woodruff, the pensive Inte of Bradshaw, and the psaltery of West, precede the chief trage- dian. Woodruff confirms Tracy’s treachory and solicitude for suppression; Bradshaw murmurs her knowledge of Beechor’s unresdiness to con- fess, and his dread to be inquired into; while West's sweet Sabbath bells chime anew the reason why Plymouth Church only played on the shore of investigation, but dared not launch its ark and motley contents upon that tronbled sea. Boft music, if you please,—Lghts down & trifle—and then the fortissi crash of our orchestra over Tilton’s admissibility. AU the reeds and brasses twang and bray in this barbaric overture. LEvarts pipes his shrill solo of protest; Abbott picks the strings of a hundred leading cases; Shoarman drones on his jews- harp; Besch thunders his discord op a rolling organ; and the rest drum, and strum, and do their fiddling, as if it were the Devil’s wedding, with a red-hot floor to dance upon. Crash! bang! cymbals and timbrels! Part curtains! ‘A anemie in the pit, a buzz in the gpllery—and 0 THE HERO OF THE PLOT stalks to the footlighta and makes his gloomy bow, ‘His entrance upon the scene marked a second crisis. What his direct examination did to keep popular attention in good humor, his cross-ex- aminers attempted in behalf of the jurs’s confu- sion and disenchantment. The tide of interest raced like s mill-stream till ne arrived, slackened as he stayed, and, blown by the gusts of cross- examination, ebbed ang fell till he ceased to tes- tify. “s ‘Was the return of curiosity to be forced against its current by an indecorous and unskillful com- pulsion? Not at all. Kate Carey turned up providentially as “an accident, and tho accident itself was all the more undramatically dramatic, because it was unexpected even by the other actors. The outfall of attention was forthwith checked. Then came Robinson, and Bell, and Brasher—each, in due turo, contributing his matenal, like the unseen but usefal worm which builds your coral island. De profandis they emerged, and to the depths they sank again, their labor done, to claim kindred with the other zoophytes of this mystery. 5 ‘A chord pianissimo, then the stage is filled by another player,—a modest gentlowoman, with soft voice and remonstrant bebavior, who intor- prets the pathos of the story in mournful and unwilling admissions. Yet, though her speech is aubdued, she embodies . THE CLIMAX OF THE ATTACK. Inher deep confidence, all the secrets, all the Searnings, all the pleadings, all the guilty con- Yessions, all the frail intentions, all the twisted and tangled mysteries of the tragedy, blond and arecombined. 5 ‘It was to her that Beecher told his guilt, and opened his breast full of horrors and remorse. It was to her that Elizabeth Tilton yielded her secret, a8 one womanseldom surrenders it to an- ther. orMIre. Moulton om tho witnese-stand was the echo of two ponitential voices in acloister. ‘Thero was plenty of strengthening and addi- tional evidence in store, but there was no need to effaco with it the vivid impression which the plaintiff's latest witness bad effected. Better let Beecher meet the calumniation of the attack in a desth-grapple of contradiction, and then overwhelm him with the reserves.” So thedevice of an upper and alower millstone has been adopted, and we shall shortly see how exceeding amall their gristis. =” ‘Lracy pad a single opporsanity, to compensate for the harm he did -Beecher’s case by being shown up as the traitor in it, ‘That opportunity consisted in his chance to open the defense with scavalry charge. That opportunity he lost for- ever when he descended to the TACTICS OF ADUSHWHACKER feeling his way through obecarities, dodging be- hind inferences, and relying rather upon the noise of bis weapon than the accuracy of his aim, or the sudacity of his attack. 80 far, his vi- tuperative progress reminds me of the vanguard of painted and horrific masqueraders with which a Chinese Marshal feels bis hostile way stern-fore- -| moat. ‘There is an enormous crackling of squibs and clanking of brass, with enough violent abuse to make up for all his other Mongolian artillery. But it ia all gunpowder and no shot. He pro- poses his speech as Beecher’a whole ples, and summons Beecher himself as his sole witness. The dofendant’s counsel have been consist ently liberal in disclosing their theory. It is precisely what I have announced over omer, again. >: Tilton 2-Was - conscious Cribune. | Qf being Beecher’s intellectual superior, and etermined that the whole world should share his estimate of that Inckless clergyman.

Heory Ward Beecher, in his “ Jecture-gpom talk™ last night touched the scandal in substance as follows: “For thirty years I have preached to you, and have tried to expound the word of God to you. In my old age my Father has seen fit to afflict me with a severe and prolonged trial. Iam not half so anxious about the rssult of this trial as that I shail live during its continuance and after its termination; and I pray that my example may be that of o trusting, patient follower of Chriat Jeaua; andI pray that your many pray- ers may be answered, eimply that I may be known to men as 3 Christian.” ‘The termiostion of his invocation was: “ Help us g0 to live that we may be ablo to say, ‘Thy will be done,’ If Thon art with us who can ba ‘Sgainet us?” ., ACARD.

Witcher reports having, in com- pany with John Gordod, another member of the expedition left his companions at the atock- ade of the expedition, within two miles of Har- ney’a Peak, on Box Elder Creek, on the 8d inst. ‘Mr. Witcher gives the following information : ‘The expedition was composed of twenty-sevon men, one lady—Mrs. Tallant—and her son,— in the proposition which I have reduced to its quintessential absurdity. Forinstance, vou may be reluctant to believe that Mra. Moulton was head-over-ears in love with Beecher, when the only tesiimony to that effect proceeds from Beecher himself, who proudly demonstrates that he is not 2 man of the world, by both taking his kisa and tolling of it. ‘Tt may likewise occur to you that there was more mogey for Moulton in the largest salt-trado in America—if not in the world—than in a vague elinnce with the editgr of a mere theological weekly. Perhaps, too, Woodruff & Robingon did not actually need 3Ir. Beocher’s servicesas a lobbyist in Washington. Then, again, it is almost incredible that Rich- ards would bave sworn away his sjster's chastity just to console himself for not becoming a Cus- tom-House clork. Yoi why should I hazard these skeptical con- jectures whon it is Tracy who is exposing the cabal of which HE WAS ONE TIME A MEMBER? ‘Was he not Woodraff & Robinson’s truated at- torney in their difficulty with the Government ? Did he not afterwards coax Tilton into divulging his case, after vowing, artfully enongh, that ho would never become Beecher’s counsel? And Gid be not propose to Moulton that they should both pair off and out of the imbroglio? Surely, if there was any rascality in the mat- ter in which Tracy, by an oversight, had no con- cern, his waa the nose of all noses to discover it. And if Tracy, who was at one time up to his ears in Moulton’s confidence and Tilton’s coniidence, who used to be Woodruif & Robingon’s legal ad- viser, and who besought Mrs. Moulton to pick her husband’s pocket and destroy the papers in the case, “likoa true heroine,"—it Tracy, I re- pest, with his practical knowledge of conspira- cies, pronounces this a conspiracy of the vilest sort, wnatcan Ido but hope, in the interest of my follaw-creataree, that he has made a mis- take ' He has made one mistake, andI need be no soothsasyar to discover it. BOWEN HAS BEEN DIRECTLY CHALLENGED to bea party of interest; and Bowen has, in these later days, outgrown his old indifference. The Eagle calied him « ecoundrel for five years with absolute impantly, until, all of s sudden, one bright Monday, it found that Bowen had began to put a price upon tho privilege of abus- ing him, and demanded $250,000 of ee tion for three columns of billingsgate. ting both Beecher and Tilton as he does, Bowen would have rejoiced to ba summoned by one of them, and to have testified against both. If Beecher wero to call him, he would readily disclose what he knew about a certain erotic performance which bo alleges occurred under his own roof; and, if Tilton had cited him, he would not bave hesita- ted to describe the relation which some manag- ing editors are occasionally charged with bearing to their female correspondents, ‘The buck-basket into which all the dirty un- der-clothing of his “ crowd” has been rammed is Henry C. Bowen; and, when Tracy gave the odorous . depository a kick this morning, he, perhaps. unintentionally exposed in all twenty-nine persons. ‘The party had six wagons, were well armed and some of them mounted, and had six months’ enpply of provisions and miniog tools. The expedition left Sionx City on the 6th of October, struck the Niobrara River ebout 120 miles above its mouth; followed tho latter stream for some distance, and then struch across the country to a point southeast of the Black Hills on the Cheyenne River; met s y of about 200 mounted Indians; five of the latter held a parley with the members of the expadi- nm. : NO TROUDLE WAS EXCOUNTERED with them. After reaching an apparently feasi- ble pass at the foot of the hilis they struck into the mountains, and after pickmg their way reached a point within 2 miles of Harney’a Peak in fifteen days from tho date of their entry into the hills, on Box Elder Creok, on the 23d of December, where they immedinte- ly erected » stockade, 80 feot long, within which they put up comfortable log cabins from tho timber, which was fonnd in sbundance. ‘They commenced prospecting immediately, but wera greatly impeded by the cold weather; sun twenty-five prospect holes, and STRUCK GOLD IN EVERY INSTANCE. From the grass to the bed-rock they found numerous gold and silver bearing quartz lodes. The silver specimens which Mr. Witcher haa brought back with him are pronounced im- mensely rich. Tho party never baye seen an Indian’ while in the hils. ir. Witcher describes euch portion of the Black Hills as they have. seen as having magnificent valleys. seemingly lumitless foresta of pine, and an abundance of elk, deer, andother gatae, Hoe and hie companion left the hills in a snow-storm, and, desiring to keep in tho timber on their retarn, made dirsct for tho Niobrara River, which stream ther followed to its mouth, and from thence to Yankton. The greater por- tion of their return trip was made through Snow-drifts over a trecklees country at 8 seasoa remarkable for its extreme cold and stcrma. ‘They had two riding animals and one pack~ horse. At night they ‘DUG HOLES IN SNOW, and, wrapping themselves in their blankets, took rest. Coming out of the hills, Mr. Witcher dia- covered what bas bebo named Witcher’s Paes, whereby to travel over a good, naturak wagon-road the foot hills can be reached, thur shortening their exit out of the hills by thirteen days. ‘Their saimals, existed by pawing the snow off the grass, often having to go t 2feet of snow.

Ho says that no evidence of any other pasties being in the hills was discovered. Gordon’s horse having given ont, he will not arrive until to-morrow. Nothing was heard or seen of the two disastrous army expeditious sent out to intercept them. The bravery and pluck of these two roturning pioneers, risking their lives on this trip, stamp thom as men of un- SOME OF H18 CLIENT'S FOUL LINEN. At all events, Bowen's sons, who do not belong to Beecher’s generation, are weary of being per- petually sired in the public prints by such » Jineal descendant of Judas Iscariot as old Bowen in his newspaper character. If ho is nct partic- |- ular about being cuffed and spat upon likes medieval Jew, the younger Bowens are honor- ably mindful of the fact that the surname is theirs as well as his, and sre bent on having 80 mech st least of theit hereditary righta re- spected. : 3 ‘Bowen has got his opportunity at last, and 1 ara grievoualy mistaken if he does not, and very shortly, improve it. One of the defections which the Plymouth faction bas sustained within the last fow days is the abstinence of DEACON GEORGE C. ROBINSON from the councils of the Church. When the other members of his family rather nervously preferred to support Ars.
