NEW YORK HERALD. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1875.—TRIPLE SHEET. THE BROOKLYN “SCANDAL Beginning the Eighth Week of the Great Case. THE DEFENCE OPENED. Exhaustive Argument of Gene- ral: Tracy. THE LINE OF CONDUCT. Bitter Arraignment of the Plaintiff. “TO BEAT AND BURY HIM.” Tyvro More Days To Be Occupied by Counsel. The court room was very densely crowded yes- lerday morning. Mrs. Tilton came in very early with her triend, Mrs, Fleld, and two other ladies. | Bhe kept @ demure countenance during the whole | day, and, as always during the trial, appeared to beiong to neither party. Plymouth caurch was out Mr. Cleveland, one of tne signers of the verdict of the Church Committee, sat Haliidsy, the assistant’ pastor. Both he and Kev. Mr, Halliday seemed much move'l while Mr, Tracy was speaking. Tune latter is ashrewd old man, however, and while his face Is full of sensibiiity he keeps a strict watch for the effects of the argument upon the average specta- tor. Mr. Beecher came tu tolerably early, aod he was tp unusual good spirits. Even while he walked up the atsie he was smiling. mantie and then assisted his wife right gallantly. Between these two old folks there is 9 renewal of pleasant offices and compliments every day which js agreeable to see. Mr, Beecher’s face, when not unéer restraint, ts perfectly boyish, although he is in his three-score and five. He has great tange of expression, and his coun- tenance cin express every tone of emotion, from mere {unto deep anxiety. It is to be ob- served of him tpat he 1s singularly inattentive to his clothes, and he comes to court every day in the same genera) suit, an old worn mantle, & slouched bat, large overshoes and careless waik- ing dress. That he has been sensitive to the ex- periences and exposures of the trial is manilest all slong. Over both plaintift and defendant the shadow of ‘he great responsibility: they have assumea is ever apparent. Both men have grown compara- tively aged during this trial, Mr. Beecher wears the expression, when not sparred up to humor or Indignatton, of @ man being worried at a time of life when every struggle involves the loss of a certain amount of fibre, Mr, Tilton looks like a man who had come to realize that be is wholly alone with his coun- sel, and must make bis game or go under. Ifhe did not know this ne was told of it yesterday by General Tracy, who said that they Mesnt on the side of the de/eudans both to beat Dim and to bury him. Judge Fullerton did not come to Court, He was ‘at ove time the object of a prosecution by Mr. Tracy, and was almost vindictively nunted down, but- escaped without injury. It is well anderstood tn Brooklyn circles that General Tracy is to be very severely handled by the piatotifs lawyers when they come to speak, on the ground that be was the counsel for Mr. Moalton’s business house, aud had the confidence, in the earlier stages of this case, of Robinson, Woodruff, Moul- ton and even Tilton. Mr. Beach, however, drew close up to General Tracy’s side, and listened to everyremark he made. Judge Morris sat behind General iracy gud made notes. Mr. Evarts took a seat under the witness chair, so that he could get the jury and their persuader in protile. About one-hal/ the audience seemed to be warm partisans of Tracy and Beecher, the other half being indifferent spectators. Very good order was kept, and Mr. Tracy’s manner was not excitingin any tone. Fora man of his physique ano temperament, he was unusually soft and nog- ative, He drew pear the jury, laid his manuscript on a table before them, and Fead every word trom his composition. Gevera!

GREEN WILL STICK! tn Why Judge Davis Would Not Issue ag Order of Arrest, A SIGNIFICANT SENTENCE. The sensation in the courts yesterday was the bringing of a libel suit by ex-City Chamberiate Pal against Comptroller Green, 1a which he asks $50,000 damages and an application following directly on the heeis of the service of the sum- mons and complaint for an order of arrest against Mr. Green. The suit, as will be seen by the doce ments given below, is based on the article pub- lisned in the HERALD of last Friday, under the title of **The City Debt,” being the answer of the Comptroller to the resvlution passed by the Board of Aidermen of inquiry as to the condition of the city debt. O1 course there 1s a good deal of specu. Jation as to what will be the final result. Both are credited with belog good fighters, though #1 g@teat experience of Mr. Green in the fleld of legal contest, while his opponent has had but very little experience of this kind, is thought as very many points in his favor. Trying at the outset by a coup de main to capture tne chief of the Finance Bu reau in his very citadel’ and bear him away ® prisoner w considered by many as rather premature and showing a deficiency in legal strat- egy. But the present is only the beginning of the beginning, and there is no telling how it will progress orend. Meantime, all we have in the case (nus iar are the initiatory papers, which speak for themseives.
