TOUCHING YET UNEASY NOTES An Afternoon Devoted to Document- ary Evidence. THE CROSS-EXAMINATION BEGUN. Tracy Still Absent Preparing His Address. A muddy day, ® dingy court room, a big au dience, and Theodore Tilton, tall ana coloriess, 12 the chair, commenced yesterday’s proceedings. To avoid publicity, Which grows more and more disagreeabie and inconsiderate every day, Mrs. Tiltor and her party came in early, soon alter baif- past ten. There were tour in this party—Mrs. Field, Mrs. Shearman, @ new arrival and Mrs, | Yiuton, Behind these, quite retired, were a vetled | jady in biack, Who appeared to be enjoying her- | self, and a young, almost child-like girl, Who | seemed a little out of piace in such an assembly. The buza and chatter in tue court in the morn- ing hour were of the provabuities of the verdict, | the effect of Tilton’s testimony om the jury, his ability as a witness compared to Moulton, and the probable duration of the trial. It is generally said that Tilton‘s story reads bet- ter than it is delivered, its explanatory and full Style striking the understanding witn more clear- | mess than upon the ear. His counsel were fully | satisfied with him on Tuesday, and, in general | estimation, he has acquitted himself as well as | vould be expected under the trying circumstances, Yesterday he wore a rough, long overcoat, a gold fob cbain, a gold ring, a gold hand or effigy pinta hia lavendar scarf, and a broad collar. His suit Was of clean and neat blue black, The expression | literary critic could have drawn a strong distinc- tion between the interdependent, presumabie, haleyon character of these domestic letters the infused, lightuing-edged, all-awakened, yet uneasy letters, which constituted another batch in this great issue, which ha’ ot been adduced and may not be at all. On the whole, story, a8 the plaintiff wants it related, is getting to tne jury in its entirety, scarcely influenced by the nature or appearance of the personages who tell it. When the de:ence comes iu we shall probably have equalis consecu- tive and authentic confirmations of theory, And both theories the great jury of the pudiic ig anxious to hear, In the court room yesterday were Rev, Mr. Put- nam, of the Episcopal Church of Massachusetts; Eustis, tue renowned stroke oar of Wesleyan; Rev. Dr. Manning, of the South Reformed church of Brooklyn; State Senator Pierce and Colonel Davis, the prosecutor of District Attorney Britton. THB EVIDENCE.

There was nothing of that grand | ind overpowering sentiment of revenge which some distant correspondents have seen, The face | was almost meek, except that there was mind | beneatn if. Mr. Beecher came into court with his wife, mak- ing no remark to anybody. She was dressed | warmly in black, looked serious and severe, and | which I have related, Biter giving a sort of black regard to the witness, she sat nodding, except when interrupted or aroused. Mr. Beecher has worn successively very differ- | ent countenances as this trial has proceeded. | When it began before Judge McCue, and tne | question was raised whether the case could go to Judge Neilson, Mr. Beecher bad @ 10>ust, Worldly figure and countenance, and attracted attention in court for a sort of ultra-professional, ‘Sver-intellectual appearance. THE JURY. Mr. Beecher was not much in Court when the Jury was drawn, but the quality of the men who feacaoed that box impressed most beholders, They yeemed to be well meaning, just men, ranging | Yom tmpressibie youth opto snowy age, mainly Ben in middie life, and with four or tive strong faces shining out. Their attention since they were }worn in has justified this opinion of them. The joreman, appointed by the Judge, bas been one of | Whe most attentive persons ever seen in Court. if de were receiving a salary of $10,000 year, with SB premium attached in case he never winked, he could not be more devoted. This jury, fair to middling to look at, and with several men upon it of strong religious convic- Mons, brought Mr. Beecher to face the second stage 01 seriousness. He had lost two days soliciting a sadge whom Re did not obtain, and Sam. Morris had shown a3 | Much knowledge of all the jurymen cited as bad Benerail Tracy, (nough abetted by a host of velun seers. In tact, this jury 19 a sound jury, if sucha thing can be had. There is no tratn im the story ybout one of the jurymen spending a night wita me of the counsel for the defence; for we have testimony from the counsel on tne other side to whe contrary. More than this: when the tria! began opinion- Baking through the press was over. The reports, sopiously printed, have generally been attached to good natured descriptive sketches, and the puolic nas become ased to them and readily Perceives where there is a bias. The people have a right to know how the coun- peliors, chief figures, ushers, and so forth, behave, what ihey look like, and what fun, suggestiveness er correiation is struck out in the course of each May's performance. The public have @ right to try these people upon their pehavior in court, bat Bot upon the facts before they have all been ad duced. MR. BEECHER’S FACE, therefore, like Mr. Tilton’s, has grown lenger and more serious as it became certain that this was to be a trial at law and not in the parior. He was not less attentive and serious when Frank Moulton | gave bis intense and nervous testimony, and on disputed points was permitted to explain nimself, Moulton’s triumph as a witness was also intensi- fled by Generai Tracy's perturbation 9s one of tue counsel. In fact, when Moulton disappeared ‘Tracy disappeared, and has not been in court since. THE EMBARRASSMENT. Then came such embarrassments as Judge Por- Jer’s illness, so that the visible work for the de- fence has for several days been done by Mr. Evarts | slone, who is understood to e been retained vy Yale Coliege. in the organization of Mr. Beecher’s tounsel some persons are said to have bi Mitfed, The remaining counsel, although superior men, have not appeared to work in conjunction and by reliefs like the counsel for the plaintiff.

Mrs. ‘Tilton’s party still re- | main, dondtiess of their own selection, | but dally interviews have ceased between | them and Mr. Beecher’s (amily, and it was not until Theodore Tilton took the stand that Mr. Beecher and party recovered some of their joy- ance. Tilton began his evidence with an impov- etished spirit. During the first day he was not Impressive, and teliing his own story of conjuga Jafidelity he unpleasantly affected the nerves of the auditors, However, ag it was a hard story to tell, there seemed some excuse for getting it pm atonce. There were even rumors that Tilton Was vo be taken of the stand by his counsel; out on the second day, when he reappeared, his man- pet had changed jor the better and the jury be- er accustomed touim.

Now comes the mystery of Elizabeth McDiarmid, alias Bessie Turner, the estray or oundiing, whom | ‘tuton, in a rather embarrassed way, partly tracea to her origin. An opinion has been long current im the Brooklyn circle that Beasie Turner was the daughter of some very prominent person—name lost or unknown. The people all looked up and listened for the Marvels of a new scandal. Mir. Beecher whispered into bia wife’s ear, bis arm around ner neck. The female cuterle around mrs. Tiiton watched the Witness stonily. As he swore to his perfect 1 cence of all intimacy with her, except househoid kindness, Tilton’s race turned red, Mr. Beecher smiled and watched the witness’ embarrassment with amazement, Mr. Mose@ Beeco, at Mr, Beecher’s elbow, got a good share of his attention. Witness continued—She was a little girl who came to our house, [ hardiy rememoer how many ears ago, under the name of Lizzie McDiarmia— shouk think, perhaps, weil, I should gucss a dozen or fiiteen years ago; she was a ttle walt ofa sing my impression 18 that in some way or other, through an old Sunday schuol teacher, either of mime or of Mrs. Tilton—indeed, my pres- ent recollection is that Mr. Livuy, of toe firm ol A, | | | be accurate; I won’t undertake to that jact; she came there ‘Tilton’s invitation, 1 Meets Might be given to any servant any office boy—came tuere to hel) the house and take care of the children; I don’t know whether she resided eontinuously at our house untii 1870 or not; | think in the summer of 1870 she Wug away in the West, at Mrs, Putnam's house, at Marietta; at all poet the period ut her | residence at our house must nave terminated | somewhere in 1870; then she came back from the | West with Mrs, Tiiton and was @ day or two at the house, and then she was sent off to school by Mr. Beecher; she was sent of two or three weeks after the writing of what 18 called the “letter of eontrition;” the only conversation [ have ever had } With Mr, "Beecher on the sabject nas been from time to time to answer occasional eBtions | ‘Whether or not, she was prattling or mak’ ie rae, chievous she was thea im Ob at school; Mrs. ‘Hiton and Mr. Moulton arranged for her departure; { think sbe leit very speeaily after Mr. Beecher sent me his letter through Mr, Moulton; some time in January, 1871; Mr. Beecher never aeniea criminal intercourse with Mrs. ‘tniton tome; | would like to amend that auswer, Mr. Fullerton, by and that whenever he spoke about that he said a a gd at tached to him alone and not its.

Witness—General Tracy told me; under his sug- gestion I prepared my report. After various objec’ ab om the part of the de fence, witness proceede: After this long squabble, Where Beach showed the shrewdest pertinacity and proved that his province in the trial was to sustain the cross-ex- miner with law and argument, the defence sulkily fell back. Witness proceeded, very much in de- tall—too much, perhaps—but had hardly got into bis argument before somebody “wept” again. Tne audience laugked londly, taking Brooklyn weep- | ings to be matters of course. Fullerton showed considerable Celtic wit all ‘trough the cross-examination. The Juige, tired of so much amplification, said, “Now, sir, what followed thereupon?” “Thereupon, Your Honor, if you please,” said Pallerton, “does not come in just for 8 moment.’ So the two men got in pretty much what they ‘wanted. WHEN TRACY WEPT, 1 had two or three interviews with General Tracy ;1 think Mr. Moulton mentioned all those interviews, because they all reterence to the game thing; General Tracy toid me that Inced | | have no anXiety concerning the formation of the | committee; that Mrs. Tiiton had goue down to the | committee wt Mr. Ovingtou’s house; Sages eae | to the ussembiing of the committee, Tracy, had ins'ructed ner what to say and ee to say | Mf, and put the questions to her so ene would no blunder in answering tucm; that when 4 came before the committee she astonished and | impressed ali of them with tne allusions to her | Dastor and her nusvand; that she bad denied everything; that there had been no proposal of wrong by lim toward her, or that there was any foundation whatever for the scandal, and, in , making tuls narration, General Tracy wept; he said ne never had 5 a 1d SUCH & Bpectacie in his life, “Now,” said ni yOu take the rignt | savantage of Mrs, Titon's appearance before that committee and of tne tender hearts of those geu- tlemen toward all the partics im the Ne and | | paructlagyy, toward you,” he said, posa. ing mysell, “now is the opportunity to suppress the Scandal jorever; it isthe womao’s right to deny it; | Jet her stand on that denial and you co-operate | | in tnat dental; it can be made a succesa.”’ General acy’s Tepresentations to me made a great im- | pression upon my mind. He said, ‘You have how @ chance to save Elizabetn and to viot out the “Kor beaven’s sake | | scandal,” aod | answered, | wit only be too glad to co-operate with It | told General Tracy { would like him to explain what the method of procedure by the committee would be, and he said to me something like this, | “Here area PS or Vas whocan summon | | whom they chi they can summon Mr. | Beecher, and Be say wat he chooses, they tie or muc can summon Mrs. Iton, and she con say iittie or much, as she chooses; they can summon you, and you can Say what jou choose, and the committee will be bound to make their report. not on the basis of the trath, because they Wonld bot inquire far enough to get the truth, but only on the 1 what all these people put down belore them.

They were also letters, as it. appeared, between Tilton and Beecher in happier days. Mr. Beach was anwill- | ing that all the freshness of these letters should be appropriated for their uses by the counsel for the defendant, The Court adjourned pending the discussion of how the letters were to be used, In the sloppy, slushy day of the hotelless, church- fulcity, the audience was turned out to spend an hour and a nalf at some adjaccnt restaurant, frank subject of al- | Where still the discussion was Beecher and Tilton, OF at some umbrageous chop house, waitered by neophytes who hardly knew whether Beecher was @ man or @ golden buck, and ‘filton a devilled kid- ney ora plaintiff, The tiny boys who fy around these English resorts and hear the ardent dis- sions of the hour are to be envied. A court “e attendant relates that one of them, @ nine-year old, walked up to a disputant at recess one day, when only one remained, and said:—Tilton’s goin’ to whip, ain’t he?’ “That's along way off.” “Well, what are they, Mister, anyway?

As in @ great man’s reign the theocratic xing could be called to ac- count by bis propiet for taking one poor man’s lamb, 80 the loss of a wife, willing or imevitavle, has laid the Repubiic by the ears. A jew years ago Mr. Tilton and Mr. Beecher were respectively the rival leaders of two wings of woman’s suffrage leagues, capitalized in Brook- lyn and New York. The younger man was, of course, the more radical. To-day, as they stand arrayed, the whole country feels that the question has come forward over their heads, of woman in every relation, as @ unit or a duality, a spiritual of @ social Wife,a mother or an afMnity, one onil- gated forever or only in mutuality, One wife appears with ber husband, mellow and boar in years; another appears against hers, claiming the por- tion of sorrow. And so the political theuries of about women and of women about them. sélves return to the small circle that embraces all the race—the heart's choice sanctified by rite. At recess the !awyers ior Mr. Tilton were going through the series of letters which passed between Theodore Tilton and his wile and Tilton ana Beecher, Siice the deati of the elder Mra, Moul> ton and the close of Frank Mouiton’s teszithony the house of the latter in Remsen street has not been so devoted to hospitality for counsel of the defence as formerly, but there is no change of re- lations between Moulton sud Tilton, Moulton making @ Quixotism of friendship, and, although he scarcely oozed in this trial, he knowsvery well that Tracy and Shearman still hope to get a scalp from his red head, that the former ts writing & speech, and that Plymouth church regards him as an Absalom, to be caught somehow by the hair and suspended. The plaintiff is yet to summon several important witnesses—Frank Carpenter, Mrs. Moulton, pet- haps Florence Tilton. It is expected that the evidence on this side will be concluded by the close of next week, if not before. The great scene on Mr. Beecher’s side Will be his own appearance on the stand. He has taken notes all through this trial, closely pursuing it, and how he must labor to make his sermon also, not to say bis paper, is something appalling. His lawyers have given Tilton great latitude asa precedent to a speech im full temperament and ardor by himself, de- ‘lvered from the witness box, Still, 1t isa drawn issue all turough, Tne affair may go on to April, and be an all fools’ matter. AFTER REORSS all things proceeded as before, the crowd no thinner, the air and ligbt no purer, the Judge no less alert, the jury holding on with good tenacity, ‘ancomplaining of the sacrifice of time and ltb- erty. Indeed, this trial 1s 80 rare a study in morals, temperament and practice, that young attorneys not bereft of iair practice come every day to watch it through for tne discipline it gives. The counsel has been winnowed and sifted of the chad, and only the polite and keen spirits on each Bide are now engaged.
