HARD TO PLEASE, Jo the Editor of The Chicago Tribunez Eyasston, March 19,—Mr. Leecher's Iawyers acem to bo having 8 hard time of it in conduct- ing thelr cage to tho satisfaction of somo of ‘Tie Tawunc's corrospondents, Even the Trus- Une itaclf, in ita issue of yesterday, ap- poars also to bo disuntisiod —oqually with its correspondents, for {it speaks of ‘tho recently-reveraod caso of Beecher vs. Til- ton,” ns if the introduction of testimony to prove ‘Titton a bad and untrastworthy mau were gross porversiou of the trial from its ono le- fitimate object. It would bo such o porvorsion ff tho trial is in order to tho conviction of Br. Beecher, whether innocent or guilty. But how gtands tho caso? Mr. Beecher is accusod of a monstrous crime. If he is guilty aa charged, hho ought to be exccrated by all good peoplo, But bia dofonso fs, that ho ia tho victim of 8 conspiracy, Tho hend-contre of that alloged conspiracy, and the loading wituces againat him, ia Theodoro Tilton. And set, any attomp to ehow up Tilton aa false and corrupt man is denounced as 8 pitiful pettl- fogging of tho csse on the part of the dofenso; and tha inforence 1a drawn that, if Mr. Beecher wero not guilty, ho would never resort to avy auch shite. Tt1# dificult to account for auch strange critl- cinmnd, oxcopt upon the ground that thoro who make thom, haying hecome thoroughly convinced that Mr. Leecher is guilty, nod that Tilton is, accordingly, = dooply- ‘wronged man, will be entisflod with nothing tess than tho keeping of ‘Diton’s charactor eucrediy guarded from all challongo or inquiry, and tho inatant conviction of Boochor. | All this, for- noth, because, a8 {8 allogod, ‘Tilton 1a not on trial, and Becchor fe, and on trial, is would aeem, only that he may bo pronounced guilty ! But ia not Tiltou fairly aud neces: on trial in this caso just as truly as Beecher? If, au the reault of this judicial investlyation, Beecher nhall be clearly vindicated,—and it {a too Yoon to eny that ho wil or will mat bo, — then that vindication will, ipso fecto, uttorly wrock and destroy both tho reputation and charactor of Tilton. But it, on the other hand, Mr. Beecher'a quilt shall bo clearly proved, then bia catvictlon will be so iaud p vindication of Mr, Tilton that all bis Srrors will be condoned ay once iu the general sympathy and admiration that will be felt for td ‘080 1MAD who was ready to bearauy moasure of pereouel and domestic wrong rather than in- volvo biy family in disgrace, dlouce, in a caso ike thla, whera the couviction ef tho dofendont will be a much: ocded vindication of tho greatly-abnsed and wronged plaintiff, and whero tho vindication of the cofondant must inevitably be tho rain of tho plaintuf, both tho partfos litigant are necessarily on trial, Beaofoos, Mr, Tito, a5 I Lave already eald, is not only plaintiff, but also the chief witnesd in bis own case, And tt is vot tn bia ebaractor a8 tho plaintiff in tho cave, busin his charactor as tho main nitaess for the plaintli, Uhat the defense addregs themaclyes to tho task pf dostroying his crodibility, Why abould this pereriee. nover hithorto regarded ag improper, wo bitterly donouncod when Ar.

LEGAL OPINIONS ON THE MATTED. New York Tribune, March 13, With a viow to ascertaining if tho bill intro. dacod in tho Senate by Senator Colo on Thurs dsy—which provides that in saile for criminnt couversation @ wife may ho » witners agsinst hor husband in behalf of another person—could apply inthe Beecher-Zilton trial, » roporter of the Tribune last avouing visited nome of tho counsel in tho case, and also Judgo Nellaon, All of tho lawyora agroed that, if passod, the law would apply to thie suit. Judgo Noltson noid that thore was no doubt thatif a law of this kind should bo possed at the preaent time, Mre. ‘Tilton could immediately be calicd aa w witness, tho fect that tho trinl iy in progrose being bo objection. ‘Gen. Pryor gavo an olaborate opinion regard- ing this law atid ata offocts. The proposed law, anid he, will oporate only aa 8 remedy, not on the right, and, therefore, will spply in any trial nnd in any ease occurring aftor tho enactment of tho lav, oven though tho action lias accracd sod {he trial ia iu progress. Jam ia favor, continu. ed Gou, Pryor, of permitting husband and wifo to teatify for ‘and against oach utter in casos of criminal converaation, but his act of Senator Colo propores only to iako tho wifo a competont witness for the de- fondant. This ie to say, 9 acduced wifo mny tor tify in exculpation of tho seducer, but wi i not be admissablo to holp the husband right Ins wrong. ‘Tho objection of collusion is fallacious, considering that the very fact of the wife's hav- ing yielded to tho seducer shows that shots mora Jikely to colludo with tho defondant than with tho plaintli in an action of criminal convor- nation. Permitting a witness to testify for only one party to a cause would be a logal unomaly. ‘Mr. Tilton as already oxpresacd bia viow of tho law. provontiug o wifo tostifsing for or against her hueband in an action of eriainal conversation, fle ie in favor of the abolizion of that law, and haa stated to bis connsel that ho objects to no Jaw which will slow Mira. Tuten to take tho witness clair, He at ono ataga of tho case said publicly shat the law preventing his wifo from testifying {n an action of criminal conyersation—talien {n connection with the fact that he would bo sollged to sua for monoy—twas the roason thet ho had not brought his cage into court before he did bring It. ——. PLYMOUTH PRAYER-MEETING. DRECHER'S TALI. New York Tribune, March 13, ‘The inevitable crowtl that attonds Mr. Besch- er’s public ministrations was present at his prayor-moeting last evening. ‘Due lecturo-room of Plymouth Churet was filled to oyorilowing, and many wero unablo to obtain seats. Previous to ir, Boecher’s remarks, Dr. Edward Beecher offered # prayer, in «hich hoonid: ‘We do not neod Lo mention te Theo the tris! which our pas- tor fs undergolog, but in faith and love wo com- mend him to Thy caro, May ho stand in the sunshine of Divine love and Divine light, and wilt Thou carry through this trial so that it ebail ‘be for hia own good, for Thy glory, and for tho welfare of the Church, Mako hia vindication aa clear as tho gun in the heaveng.” Ar, Leecher's talk “as largely rotrosnective, He reviewed tho history of his pastorate, sud phowed how auccessfully the Chnruh hed paseod through » Jong campaign of trial, Te satd, in substance: Tho Master commands His disciples to lot thoir lixit shive so that othors might see their good works, We find in Paul 2 recoymtion of good qualitics, which plainly showa that ho rogarded praise asa proper aud effeo:ual moral jnstroment, ‘Thin.

Right through slavery «and the War tha church kept growing aud rovivals flourished. Whon reconstruction was agitated thera was 0 dtscord, no division, Whon twonty-fivo yoara nd elapsed, I said ‘hore had never beon an occasion when I bad ‘had tu call s mecting of the Deacons of the ebureh, When I ratd that I had no iden on what an edgo 1 was standing, Theucsamo tho most intostino diMloulties that any church aver oxpe- rioucod, In tho cnriior Stents of discuesion thoro was divided contecl, Thon I was & spectator from reatons of dolicrey and justice.
