NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY? MARCH 21, 1875.-QUINTUPLE SHEET. THE SCANDAL TRIAL, Review of the Weck’s Pro- ceedings, THE DEFENCE WELL SUSTAINED. ’ The forthcoming week will witne: new phase in the Tliton-Beecher trial, Mr, Beectier will be & witness probably on Wednesday morning. The tagrag bobtatl of witnesses are nearly ex- hausted. Bessie Turner, the pending witress for the defence, will have to undergo a sharp cross- examination, It is estimated vy the people Who manage tbe trial that enough of ground will be cleared away by the middle of the week to make room for Mr. Beecher to appear and testify, Mr. Beecher as ® wiiness 13 looked forward to with Intense curiosity, He will either make or unmake the case, His testimony will be the pivotal point that ail the world will wait for and decide the merits | Of the trial for good or ill, Tne majority of people trust that Mr. Beecher will acquit himself, that he willexplain his remarkable letters in a way that will win him the gratulatory sympathies of a whole nation when he descends {from the witness stand, So far, unfortunately for the defence, the wit- nesses bave not been as positively forcible on the aide they testified for as the previous witnesses | summoned by the plaintiff proved in their capa- city. The management of the trial undoubtedly Proves superior ability on the plaintifi’s side. Tbere may be superior lawyers ia America to Messrs. Fullerton and Beach, but no two men could have done one whit more than they have done to drive forward @ case to con- viction and triumph. Perhaps no two men in the whole history of legal practice have worked tn such conjoint strength toward omeend. Beach supplics what Fullerton omits, amd while the one excels in cross-examination the otuer towers upward in the wondrous clear- bess of his interdependent arguments, Fullerton 18 an amazing cross-examiner, Beach is a strike ingly vigorous logician, Fullerton, in cross-exam- | Iming the assistant pastor, Halliday, showed his genius most effectively. People in the court room were disposed to listen to assistant pastor | Halliday with good-natured patience. They saw | in him an old man, deputed to fijl the Plymouth eborch pulpit in the absence of THE GREAT PASTOR, an old man with a good deal of fuss and preten- ion, harmless and vain, a trifle suggestive of Po-,| lonius, who would insist upon advising the Danish | Prince, and was run through the body for his | pains. Under the cross-examination this old man | over-eloquent, in place of being as the mind was led to think from the easy, simple flow | of nis direct examination—a witness of | Impressive bearing—proved to be @ man bf tougn veracity, wo contradicted himself and revealed a business character that contrasted strangely with his reputation as an assistant pas- | tor to Mr. Beecher. Still the week was @ favorable ue jor the deience. ONE STRONG WITNESS, fom Cooke, the newspaper correspondent, made | 2 strong point against the platntifr in testifying | that Tilton and the Woodhull both urged bim to | write for the Golden Age and the Woodhull & | Claflin paper and work up the scandal. Agreat pointin the plaintiff's statement w: that Tilton did his best to suppress the scandal; that he lavored dayin and day out to keep the | world )gnorant of Mr, Beecher’s alleged iniamy, | Cooke’s evidence shows that however inclined | ‘Tilton may have been to pursue this po.icy, so tar as he ({iiton) was concerned, he was willing | | ness on the part of | the several regattas. enough to give the deruiis to the world, provided it coulu be done through the medium of | some sensatioual reporter as he believed Cooke to be. Tilton, of course, Was not to be known in the matier. Cooke would take ail the responsibility upon himseli, This evidence went further. It invited the mie ence that the famous Woodhull scandal puviica tion was the inspiration direguly or indirectiy of | Tiitop bimself. fhe most important witness of tue week was certainly Cooxe. He proved that Tilton ang Woodhull were in collusion, and that Tilton, instead of seeking to suppress the scandal, sought every means to give it to the world through some other hands than his own, BESSLE TURNER, Bessie Turner is relied on by the defence to sbow a condition of relations between Tilton and IMs wife that would Justiiy either in going out from the common household and practising free love. ‘The weaaness of an urguinent tuat aims to mmpeach Tilton’s virtue or tat ol Ms Wile to exculpate Beecher 1s apparent, but 1¢ is impossible to conceal the effect on the jury. ‘The jury will be calied on to render averdict of $100,000 in lavor of the piaintiQ; but if this evidence is designed | to show that the one principal in the action 1s no betver than the other. and tuere 1s prooi that the | ove Who charges aduitery 1s guilvy of aduitery Dinsell, then, indeed, the damayes may be calcu. lated 1n a different linzht.

APPROACH OF THE ROWING SEASON, a THE HARLEM RIVER CLEAR OF ICE—BOATING TALK OF BOATING MEN—THE PROSPECTS OF THE COMING SPRING AND SUMMER—THE PRO- POSED REGATTA OF THE BOYS OF OUB PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The annual contest of the eights of the two great English untversitics was rowed yesterday on the Thames, and victory, which for years has been denied the Oxonians, has at length perched upon their colors, ‘These contests have since their inauguration, in 1829, aiways been looked forward to with considerable interest by boating men, not only on the other side, but also here; and more particularly here, since boating has come to be regarded as one of our most popular sports. Tne English race may be regarded us a kind of prologue to the aquatic play on the waters, which commences in tue spring of the year and only terminates when winter’s stormy blasts compel the disciples of the oar to hang up their shells and put aside their sculls. After the discussion of the race subsides boating men will, as naturally as a duck takes to the water, begin to talk boat, canvass the prospects of the coming season and converse on the probabilities of wnat the season may bring forth, Already in the boat houses of the Harlem River signs of the approach- ing season are evident, Last Sunday the river was pearly clear of ice up to Macomb’s Dam Bridge, The Gramercy on that day sent out a shell, the Nautilus a pair-oared gig and the Friend- ships visited the New Settlement in a six-oared barge. The New York Rowing Club have alreaay had acrew on the water. ‘Tis looks like busi- the New York boys, Ingersoll, with bis crew, won the grand challenge plate of the Harlem Regatta As- sociation, and their early appearance on the river looks as if he intends to make a boid effort to retain the prize another year, Nearly all the clubs on the Harlem have selected their oMcers for the present year, and so s00n as the weather setties the captains of the various clubs will commence to make their selection of men tor the crews to represent their respective clubs in The Harlem Regatta Asso- ciation has had its annual meeting and elected its board of officers for tne year. Harry Meeker, of twe Athletic Club, was unayimousiy re-elected President; Mr. Scott, of the New York Kowin; Club, 1s Vice President, and Richard Neville, of th Nautilus @lub, takes tle place of Henry Knapp, of | the Harlem Rowing Club, as Secretary and Treas- r The clubs how Composing the Regatta Asso- ciation are the Atnietic, Dauntiess, Gramercy, New York Rowing, Hariem, Naunilus and Nassau. The Atalanta, 1t is to be regretted, withdrew irom the | association Just year, aud in all probability will | not re-enter 1t this season at jeust. The day tor the annual regatta has not yet been fixed. As the mouth of June is javored by most of tne delegates some day in tie latter part of that month will ve chosen. From different parts of the country it is ascer- tained that the prospects of the rowing season were never briguter. Now Clubs are forming and the older clubs are being strengthened by iresh accessions to their roils of members. On the Sciuyikil, the coming season, indications are good for rowing. Tue Navy, anxious to strengthen | Its organization and promote greater unity on tne part Of the boat clubs located on tbe river banks in Fairmount Park, has extended an invitation | to the Bachelors aud Vespers to “come in” aud | take their jormer places in the Schuylkill navy. | | This is a move in the righe direction. ‘there 15 jicue doubt, if all the Philaaelphia clubs were enrolied under the flag of the Navy, an exceilent jour wigut be gathered from the clubs composing | it ior the struggle iu 1876, during the Centenual | season.
