8 “THE QUESTION OF YERACITT, ‘Tow the Tilton and Beceber Witnesses Contradict Each Other. WHO TELLS THE TRUTH? | Is it Lying or a Gigantic Mistake? ie TION TWO VIEWS OF THE QU There can be very littie doubt rerarding the @iMculty of the task whicn has been set the jury ¢m the Tilton-Beecher trial in the matter of a ver- dict, When we come to consider the wearisome | Jength of the proceedings, the utter prolixity or | she leading Witnesses, the Overlasting opjections | springing up every lew minutes on knotty points, and the arguments arising ous of them, it seems to be admitted that tmey are suflicient to puzzle | the wisest twelve men that could be found in the City of Churenes. Then, there are the addresses of the opposing coussel to be considered tm the catalogue, which, viewed from the jury px, must sometimes appall such of the occupants as happen to reficct upon the Matter. Lut itis not the tength of the trial that forms the greatest cifMfculty for the anJortunate Jury; 1; is in the contradictions of the witnesses by one another. One side swears everything isas Diack as ink, while the other makes the incidents pure and innocent; and just nere we come to the Very pith of the aifMfculty, whied ts to decide which side 1s ‘elling the truth, or are they both mistaken? Settle that question and the rest is ail easy enough. IS IT ERROR OR PERJURY? Before Mr. Beecher toox possession of the wit- ness chair it was quite evident that the defence had acopted a strict line of evidence, which was to contradict the t@imony already aadaced on the part of the piaintim® The evidence o! the ar- bitrators in relation to the tripartite letter showed this sufficiently to prepare the public for still stronger contradictions on the part of the defend- ant himself, He has denied and denied and will apparently go on denying to the end of his exam- Anaton. The evidence of Mr. Beecter bas raised anew issue tn the minds of all thoughtful men, and they decide it according to their previons opinion or Prejudice regurding the case. To the mincs of some it is quite evident that the crime of perjury Das veen committed by one side or the other, and here the decision ts spilt again according to te settled convictions of those considering the mat- ter, Whether they incline toward the plamtif’s side or stoutly support the deiendant, this class Delieve that “the other side’ has sworn falsely. | Now, tuking this view—that perjury has really been committea—it is interesting to notice the @iMeuity vefore the jury, bow to settle the ques- tion which side 1s the mdst entitied to belief, Just look into the evidence as it stands and see how perplexing the matter becomes. BOTH TILTON AND MOULTON @wore positively to certain acts performed and Words uttered by Henry Ward Beecher, which, as narrated by them in the witness chatr, gave color and Jorm to the terrible accusation made by them against him, and which ts the basis of the entire case. Mrs. Moulton also vestified in a positive Beecher touching his alleged adultery with the wife of Tuecdore Tilton. These and other wit- messes in their evidence made it appear that Henry Ward Beecher had confessea his sin, and bad asked jorgiveness therefor. They exuibdited Memoranda which bad been, according to them, prepared at his dictation, and they described im- terviews, at which the defendant had gone over the whole troubie and made an effort to suppress it. In fact, they testified to guilty conduct, as admitted by bim and Mrs, Tliton. Taey presented letters written by the defendant which contained lancaaze both unigue ond extraordinary, and taterpreted them ashaving a direct bearing upom the offence of which Mr. Beecher stands accused. And tney made up a case of seeming consistency, because ‘what they uttered was under the sanctity of an oath. All this array of alleged facts and inier- ences having been spread upon the minutes of the Court as sworn testimony, there it remains for what it is worth, until tne case for the aefendant also goes on the record. Well, tae defence have gone pretty thoronghly mto the matter, and now that the defendant in the suit comes tnto the wit- ness chair his occupancy thereof is principally Gevoted to DEFINITE DENIALS Of the principal and salient points In the tes- timony of bis accuser, The counsel for tue de- feuce have coldly taken the buil oy the horus, and whenever Mr. Evarts touches upon any of these points, such asthe interviews with Mr. Tilton or air, Moulton or with Mrs, Mouton or any of the Femarkabie letters aud memoranda, he contracts his questions in such @ shepe as to make the denia) tia! comes in the iorm Of aD auswer not only complete, but positive in ite tenor and scope. When Mr. Beecher denies the statements of the Opposiug witnesses he denies emphatically aud frequenuy im tue Most solemn manner. Ow uis Grst appearance as @ Witness he Wook an oath that ought to be even more binding on bis conscience than ie one usually taken on the Gospels, and not content With thia, be irequentiy swears over again while uttering entails, The contradictions could pot be more Gecided than in tue jorm they go on tue minutes of the Court. Hence the case asecmes an importance that hither:o it hos not beid. Ibe question, how- ever, ts, Which side tells the truta’ To those who believe im the theory of fuise witnesses It 18 very ciear that i Titom and Mouiton and their sup- posers nave Rot perjured themaeives, Mr. Beecher Aad i 19 equally clear thatu Mr. Beecher tells the Lrath, them the otners are vase lars. This 9 most remarkable phase, ana tt renders the case even more a mystery toan hejore. Perjury bas beeu committed by one side or the ower. In the minds of many men there is no getting over that stera and paiafu! fact. But whica i# the perjured side? That is a ques:ion that will only be answered by the verdict of the jury, which by it# Lenor will tell the world at large aow those twelve nen View the ques'ion. In the event Of he Verdtet every man who nolvs to the theory of perjury will be compe.ied to wake Up bIs mind jor bimeels, If toe jury disagree end ail this tedi- O08 eX#inination result in BotDisg, 4 most painial ‘saue Willi be reamed. There are portions of tue public Wi Will believe the principal witnesses tor the prosecation have committed sa awiui crime, another portion will believe the same thing Of Mr, Beecher and His iriends. Li is @ verrivic prospect.

To rhe EprtoR or THE HERALD:— Much bas been said and written upon the moral or Immoral effect of Irequent attendance at tae | great trial in Brooklyn; but has any one yet fairly weighed its psychological influence? I am per- | suaded that 4 species of examinaton frenzy sooner or inter takes possession of every haditud of the infected court house. The frenzy must waste itself some Way, and its victim is generally the frst friend or stranger (it matters not which) that the possessed one chances upon in bis wild rush from those tnferaal portals, I speax from experience. I was witness of the enforced examination of a stranger in a street car in Brooklyn ouly @ fow days ago by one stricken with the dis- ease. lt was anout recess time. The stranger entered a car where the infected person had just preceded him. The former was a quiet personage in the garb of a clergyman; the latter sharp-looking, Vivacious, excited, but withal re- spectabie. He saw his victim at once in the quiet stranger and opened the examination, thus:— (For clearness we will call tue examiner EB, and | the stranger 5.) E.—"‘I think J saw you in the Court House to- | day, sir’? S.—No, sir, 1 have not deen there.” £.—“Ob, not to-day.” S.—"No, sir, I have never ' been there.” (Eviaentiy 20 community of feeling | or experience between the two; hence a pause of | disappointment for one, of relef for the other.) | But the spirit was strong upon E. and would not be j denied, S. must receive information not in the least | desired by bim upon the day’s proceedings in court, | and thea be examiyed upon bis views when he conid no longer plead ignoraace.

The complaint of many, periaps @ majority of them, that they cannot live upon the amount of labor furnishea them at the prices paid; that they are aiready one, two and tiree months behindhand in the payment of their rent, and that they, with their families, are able at any mo- ment to be turned into the street, is no doubt based upon fact. Thus situated, the unhappy ‘longsnoreman, not much accustomed to reason, but satisfled that there is something wrong some- where, looks only to’a slignt aavance in his wages for aretief from bis troubles, and so strikes for tt without reference to anybody or anything elise. In the present case the movement has grown out of a peculiar incident connected with the labor of the men, Tae great majority of tue craft at the piersop the East River are sailing vessels, and ofa transient character, or at least arriving pere at jong intervals. With the owners or ‘agents of such the speeay loading or unloading ts of much greater Moment than the twenty or thirty dollars which the difference in the wages of the Nongsnoremen between the old price and the one demandea wouid ake, and so the required ad- vance irom thirty tu forty cents an hour was by them readily agreed to. ‘tne men on the Kast River siae, taerefore, were being paid the latter sum ,While on tne North River, where are the wharves of the large steamship lines, whose vessels are constantly coming and going, and to whom the advance Was a matter 0; much greater im- portance, were paying but thirty. Naturally this condition of affairs could not last long witaout creaubg trouble.
