TIE BROOKLYN SCANDAL ‘What the Trial Has So Far tevealed. e———_—— A STRANGE STATE OF SOCIETY | anes ' The Characteristics of the Plaintift and Defendant. | partor the trata, | wind, peen told beforehand that the people who were to enter the witness box would testify ax they have done, and give a series of pictures of domestic life suc as we find revealed tn the sworn testi- mony, the assertion would bave been laughed at as improbable. Yet it is in this extraordinary evidence that we find revelations whica simply astound us. Men and women appear and narrate facts and ever(s which seem impossible; yet we Diust believe that they are telling the truth ora Either way, the statements of these witnesses surprise ana bewilder the reader. We find men coniessing themselves veathens and avheists, yet (hey seek to counsel a pastor Ol & great church, or aid him in his editorial con- duct of a religious journal, or the prepara- tion of # life of the Redeemer of mun- We see these witnesses discussing ab- struse questions Of moral law and etuacs, or drop- [ contess to have no belie: in, We near statements afectung the moral purity of men and women who have uo connection with the scandal, and stand aghast while wounds are inflicted upon others who onght to be held apart from the awful wickedness imputed to the! We see women of virtue and inteliigence confessing themselves to To-morrow the Tilton-Beecher trial opens on its | thirteenth week. For three long Monbhs this case bas occupied public attention and afforded a Bpectacle not only amazing in tts developments of Tuman character and thought, but full of sur- | prizes to the mode of life and personal habits of the principal actors. Tue plaintiff and the de- fendant, the witnesses on either side and many people who have been accidentally drawn into the case, have already been placed tm lights that are wonderful in sueir aspects. Before the trial be- wan an air of mystery hung over the scandal and | the public was led to expect remarkable develop- ments. The developments that have been made , bre remarkable enough, but notin the direction anticipated, Most people supposed that the plaintig would bring forward evidence that would prove the guilt of the! Werendant or else he would fail and Jose his case, Instead of that, the evidence for the prosecution has been indefinite and rambling. But it hai one result, It placed the defendant in a most peculiar position for a minis- | ter of the Gospel. The testimony offerea against im shows that Mr. Beecher was not by any means the strong-minded, clear-headed man we would expect to flud in a teacher of divine truths ana | Jessons. Instead of being a valiant shepnerd, YFeady in the hour of trial and difficulty to fight for his fock and bimsell, he appears to have been | easily ‘rightened and anxious to temporize. When threatened by bis enemies he failed to stand up nd defy them, as most men would do under simi- Jar circumstances, The defence claims that he is the victim of a conspiracy; and, taking that view of the question, it i8 uniortunate that the defendant did not seek the aid of bis church officers and repel the attack. Instead of this he temporized, procrastinated, and, having tuken ove false step, found it easier to continue to run down hill than attempt to climb up again. It 4s not within the scope of this article to discuss the question which the jury must some day next summer take into their nands. The result oi the trial now in progress remains with the future, But it is interesting to review the deveiopments being made from day to day regarding the life that must exist in the community out of which this hideous scandal has sprung. Now as to the defendant. The testimony given by the witnesses on both sides bas greatly shaken the popular idea regarcing Mr. Beecher. Before the scandal was hinted abroad and even up to the opening of the trial he was believed by many to be aman of sense and discernment. For many years he had sought to teach and advise his fellow men on beth religious and pecular topics, and while doing so assumed to be, by force of character and long study, pecuitariy fitted for the task of his life. In tue pulpit, on the lecture platform and in the columns of secular, literary and religions journals, he had instructed mankind on diverse subjects. Doing this mith great snccess and consummate ability Mr. Beecher became a leader among thinkers, and his utterances were considered valuable and instruc- tive. Yet, ifwe are to believe the testimony, he was unable to put into practice many of tne lines of human conduct latd down by him for the guid- ance of other men. Possessed of a sanguine tem- perament, he has been shown to have had no judgment of character, and has invariably leaned upon those who were wholly unfitted to be his counsellors and friends. Taking the most chart- table view of tie ease, it appears wonder- Yul that a man like Mr. .Beecner shouid bave taken so many false steps. Judging him by his labors one would suppose that he would readily fathom the depth of character of those about iim, and, finding himselt in a faise position, have, by a decisive movement, thrown off the false Yriends and real enemies by whom he was sur- rounded. To do this would have needed nerve: aud that Mr. Beecher seems to iack in & greater degree than most men of his supposed calibre and method of thought or study, Indeed, it ts this jack of nerve and decisive courage that has placed the pastor Plymouth ¢ in bis present whe that resuit may be he predicament, and, no n attained by th does go lack nerve will grea a pubhe teacher. But the trial has sno ertobe a man wholly without sterii common sense, for we find that he does not pos: intuitive caution go common among men. Even the stp life were overlooked. He formed abnorm : Ships, and, be contracted them, was unable to sever them. re to believe bis counsel he patronized the plaintif’ and helped bim to make a path ip life that was honorabie and important; yet when Tiiton turned against him Mr. Beecher failed to assert his rights and discard the protége he had fostered. Instead of cutting the tangle by which he was surrounded by a few vigorous cits of the weapons in bis hands, and so released himself, he seems to have done his best to tighten ‘the knots and muitiply the strands yet lying loose aud untouched. A more paimiul spectacle than this cannot be imagmed, end is another proof have been messengers and conildants of those they betieved to be utterly wicked and outside the pale of human sympathy or cousideration. We read the statements of a young gir! which betray & lack of common sense on her part—in tact com- mon Sense seems to be a great want among all of these peopie—and she describes the home life of the plaintiff to be of a character both remarkable and peculiar, The whole range of testimony is @ positive revelation, such a8 has never before been given in apy court, and it simply stuns our minds by it deformity ana re- veness. Thus we see that tie trial has done | positive barm, by shattering our belief tn auman oodbess and beauty, But there is one reilei to be found, and that 14 in the fact that so remark- able a phase of human conduct cannot be found ib any other community on this Continent. If 1¢ were otherwise the very foundations of society | would be in danger and the course of civilization not only retarded but turned mto channels that would eventually destroy it. Tuese are the lessons of the trial, they carry their dwn moral. Let us hope that out of 80 much evil great good may come forth, and that the better instiners of the human mind will hereaiter receive stricter attention. Thus the trial may prove a benefit to mankind, no matter how it may agect those most interested in it, THE PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS. VICAR GENERAL QUINN APPOINTS HIS COMMIT- TEE—NAMES OF THE FULL COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE—HOW THE AMALGAMATED SCHOOLS PROGRESS IN POUGHKEEPSIE.

HOW AMALGAMATION WORKS IN POUGHKEEPSIE. The following article from the Poughkeepsie Weekly News 18 explanatory of how the umalga- tmated system works in Poughkeepsie. An inter- esting extract from the New England Journal supplements the article in the News, and irom the tone of both it wouid seem that apprehensions of conflict in this city, Were the parochial and public scaools merged, are not entirely well founded :— Uncer the auspices of this Board our city. years ago, passed through one of those semreligions agitations which have elsewhere resulted disastrously, r whicu heve kept communities in continual disagree: ment and turmoil. We rerer to the question of uniing the public schools upon a basis agreeable to both Prot- estants aud Catholics. At tie moment this subject 1s attracting excited attention tn the city of New York, and it would be well it im that clty it evuld receive the same candid and dispassionate consideration which it has received here.

De- cision reserved. MASON TO BE INDICTED. At the opening of the examination in the case Attorney Purdy stated that the case of Mason had \been presented to the Grand Jury, and after tak- ing testimony that body had ordered a biil of in- dictment to be prepared against bim; that he (Mr. Purdy) in this new phase of the case did not see 1 wus necessary to take up the time of the Court in continuing the examination. Deiendant’s counsel, after a brief consultation with his client, Stated to the Court that Mason waived on his part any further examination, and would leave the matter in the hands of the Court. Commisstover Snields then held the defendant m deiault of $10,000, Mason was then taken in charge of the Marshal and returned to Ludlow street Jail. | SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM Before Judges Davis, Brady and Daniels, A BATCH OF ORDERS—DECISIONS. This court held yesterday its concluding session | for the term, and after making a few orders and | giving decisions in cases previously argued ad- journed till the first Monday of May. Among the orders was one disbarring A. H. Hummel, on the | ground of having paid. as testified by himself, $300 to a magistrate of Westchester county to dis- charge certain prisoners for whom he was coun- | sel. Another order was one directing A. H. | Reavey to show cause why he should not be dis- ' parrea, the charge against him being an attempt to obtain money on a forged certificate of the | Court of Common Pleas, | among tie more important decisions was one | relating to the question of assessment, An order, it appears, had been granted by the Supreme | Court, Chambers, vacating an assessment on the | property of Patrick H. Conway for paving Thirty- ‘ second street, between Second avenue and East | River. The Corporation Counsel appealed trom | the order to this Court. The proof at the hearing of Mr. Conway’s petition was that the resolution | providing for the repavement was not published in all the corporation papers before its final adop- | tion, as required by chapter 446, Laws of 1857, the | advertisement not having appeared in the Leader. | The proof on bebait of the city was tnat the resoluuon im question was adopted by the boards of Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen on the 20th and 24th of May, 1570, respectively, and it was clauned thac it was ; Dot affected by the act of 1857, which was ex- | pressly repealed by an act passed May 5, 1870, and | making a single publication sufficient. Judge » Daniels, in giving the decision of tie Court yester- day, savs the publication of the proceedings of the Aldermen at these meetings were regulated by the act of 1870, which required a mere publication only; it was to be presumed the clerks of the boards did their duty,’ in the absence of proof to the contrary, and the omission relied upon cannot be established by simple failure to publisi in tne Leader, Order appeaiea from ieversed, with costs, ‘The next decision embodying any point of special interest was one given on the appeal of Louis Schlessinger irom an order of Judge Dononue granted to Elijah H. Purdy, appointing a receiver Of the proceeas o! the sale of certain !urniture. Judge Dameis, who rendered the opinion, says that it appears irom the papers inat Schleesiger ob- tained the goods on credit by a gross fraud and mortgaged it tothe other defendant, Goldman, & near rejative, for one year; that the mortage was executed July 4, 1972; that in Oclober of tne same year Goldman svid the property under the mortgage; that Goldman’s insolvency 1% not nega- tived by an averment of solvency, and no satt tory account 18 given of the origin of tie dept; that althouga couspiracy i8 deuied, consideriy the fraudulent nature o1 the purchase the denial is unworthy Of belief, there 1s reasonable proba. bility the mortgage was lor the purpose of de- frauding the creditors, and the order appointing a reveiver Of the proceeds of the sale made by Gold- man should be sustained, Following next in importance is a accision in a willcase. In 1854 G. 7. Hatheld, a larmer, in Westcliester county, died, leaving the homestead to his son Jonathan, but with the stipulation in the will that the latter siould pay to his sisters $400 each witbia one year after suould they sever- ally marry. Two of the sisters died unmarried, und the surviving sister brought suit against ine brother for their iegacies. Judgment was given In is favor, srom Which an appeal Was taken to this Court. Tne Court decided yesterday, Judge brady giving the opiaton, that the legacies had uot lapsed, but the judgment was reversed as to the legacy of one of the deceased sisters, the suit not bring brought within ten years after ber death. The Court hoids, In a decision yesterday, that in @ complaint in @ suit \o have a mortgage marked ‘ discharged of record, itis not enough to aeee lapse of time, which raises a presumption the mortgage has been discharged, but allegation of actual payment must be made, DECISIONS.

TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Judge Kilbreth. BIGAMY. In May, 1868, Stephen Gonsales was married to @ handsome country girl at Morristown, Orange county, N. Y, With her he lived in connubiat happiness uattl about two months since, when lus feelings suffered a change. He was an engineer of the New Jersey Central road, and was very often in New York over night. While in this city he met and became enamored of Miss Burly, to whom he was known as James Stephens. While he went bome to his wife in Morristown he had in his heart the desire to leave and disgrace her, and six weeks ago he consummated his infamy by marrying Miss Burly, Since the marriage he has been going home and acting the same as usual. Last week, however, he did not go home, and his kind wife in Morristown became | anxious regarding bis safety, so she came | to Jersey City and inquired among her husband's friends as to where he was, They directed her to the house of wile number two, to wich Mrs, Gon- sales iminediately went, She knew nouung of the changed relations of her husband, and so sue inquired for him at the doo Mrs. Stephens ad- mitted her, and on the entrance of Mr. Gonsales, alias Stephens, @ scene ensued. The second wife Was wrotl, and went to the police station and had her new husband arrested. Yesterday morn- ing she appeared at the Tombs and made a com- plaint awainst him for bigamy. Mrs, Gonsales also appeared and made an additional amdavit, In court both women were very much moved and cried aloud.

VISIT TO RANDALL'S AND BLACKWELL'S ISLANDS AND INSPECTION OF THE INSTITU- TIONS. The Grand Jury made its periodical visit to tne islands yesterday, accompanied by President Batley and Commissioner Brennan, of the Board of ; Charities and Correction. The party started from the foot of Twenty-sixth street, about eleven o’ciock, on the steamboat Minnehanonck, and first ] proceeded to Randall's Isiand, to ‘visit the chil. | dren in tne House of Retuge, and thence | to Blackwell’s island, visiting and inspecting the Penitentiary, the Workhouse, tal, Alishouse and Lunatic Asylum. | inspection of the Workhouse Warden Joseph King entertained the jury with a lunch at bis residence, Considerable curiosity was maniiested by some of | the party to see the ‘Boss,’ who was found per- forming his usual duties in the hospital, and | Whose quarters were not found to be such as to | excite any special feelings of admiration or envy. | Most of the alternoon was passed in the inspec- | tion of the various instiiutions, the party arriving at the ioot of Twenty-sixth street on their return about ball-past fuur o’clock, Without making any formal expression of their ideas the ge ing manifested among phe jurymenu was one of satisfaction at the result of their visit. A DEN OF THIEY. DESCENT ON A NOTORIOUS ‘‘FENCE” IN BROOK- LYN—TWO MEN ARRESTED AND EIGHT THOU- SAND DOLLARS’ WORTH OF PROPERTY RE- COVERED, The Brookiyn detectives succeeded yesterday aiternoon in discovering and closing one of the Most extensive resorts of thieves in the vicinity of New York and in recovering a large amount of property, the proceeds of many burglaries. ‘the manner in which the place was discovered was somewhat singviar, und the officers were greatly surprised at the great success that attended their efforts. In this connection it is proper to State that there bus been a greater number of daring burglaries committed in the City of Churches daring the past year than at any similar period since the close of the rebellion, The thieves have worked with great adroitness and impunity, and in very few cases have the police succeeded in arresting the robbers or tracing the property stolen, There is no doubt, , therefore, in the minds of the authoriues that the capture of yesterday will result in the restoration vo its owners of a geeat portion of the plunder ot the past year. ‘The police were notified yesterday that a bur- giary had been committed at the millinery store Of Mr. Jacob Zimmerman, No. 523 Broadway, Hast- ern District. Detectives Corr, Butts, Short and Biggart were detailed to look for the thieves, and throughout the entre day they workea with great industry.
