4 onclusion of the Crcss-Examination of | General B. F. Tracy. (HE DEFENCE “REST.”| | Proposition to Hear Mrs, Tilton Testify Rejected for the Defendant. REBUTTAL EVIDENCE, fulton Confounded with the Lat Cuban Amigo Ryan. In the Brooklyn trial the defence has ended, aud he beginning of the end o this most protracted Tialcan now be perceived. The rebuttal is iu ali swing, and alre.dy t*o such witnesses as faddox, of Maine, and Jonn Swinton have been ‘amined to prove that Tilton did not ride or vaik with Mrs, Woodnnil or Miss Ciadin in that sotorious Communistic provesaion that paradea te streets of New York in nonor of Gener: wel and his companion Communists who w ey order of the Versailles government. The defence have a poor point here, for the feat balance of testimony will show that Tilton @id not ride with Mrs. Woodnull in that proces- ston, ana that aii this time Colonel Ryan, of Cuban fame, has been mistaken forthe piaintif™ It ts Bafe to assume that this fact will be settled beyond peradventure; but, at the best, people inguire, What has the matter too with the main issue— ‘the guilt or innocence of Beecner. TWO REMARKABLE WITNESSES, maddox, of Maine, and Jonn Swinton, were pro- duced in the rebu'ta! in the alternoon. {wo more simgular characters it would be bard to find. M dex looked like an educated barber and Swinton fixe a crazed proiessor of physiognomy.- Both amused the court hugely, and the cross-examuin- ing lawyer—Mr. Evaris—nad to tarp around re- peatediy and laugh. The proceedings im a suo- — Seqaent column will sufficiently indicate te humor and oddity of tne cross- examination. Maddox was the most extraor- @inary genias that has oceupied the stand since ‘ee Deginoing of the trial, and, as for Swinton, he bad the capacity to make people laugh and cry in five consecutive minutes. Speaking to Mr. Beach as to the provable length & the trial tue writer learned “the rebuttal evi- dence will certainly occupy the whole of next week.” “How long, sit, do you expect the summing up @m behbal{ of both sides will occupy ?” “That 1 cannot "id “Will it occupy beyoud the 25th of May ?” BOW LONG IT WILL Last. | “Yes, sir; it will occupy beyoud that time cer- | tainly; for | understand that Mr, Evarts wrends | Wo devote at least a week to bis address te the | Jory. He will speak at least as lng as he did in the impeachment trial of Andrew JoBoson.” “flow long was that?’ “It was onty three days.” “Yes, but the details in this trial are so num ous that if be intends to cover them ali it wil take Bim at least twice cr three times as iong.”” “How long will you take, Mr. Beach?” “Not long. Toe satent points of tals case are few. Ishali take them up and group around them sufficient arguments to make each point clear enough for the comprehensiog of any ordinary un- Gerstanding.” “You wil not go into any detailed ennmera- tion 1” “No, sir; that is not my method. Ifa man can- Mot understand one Or two prominent points ‘Within its compass be capnot understana anytoing whatever.” a8 TO BIS BEALTR. Mr. Beach was asked at farther length as to his Deaith and streugtn, and whetcer Re thouchs him- @eli physically able tor the great edort demanded i bim in his summing up. He replied tuat he Shoaght bimseli equal to a.most any effort; that following the instructions of nis medicsl advisers Be believed himself DOW competent to Oil the re. sponsible undertaking of addressing the jury for ‘We piaintid. ‘The individual alluaed to as Maddox, of Maine, i a gentieman who two years ago was piten- forked into nororiety oy the datiy papers in conse- @Q@ence of the fact that he bad ron the conveation ‘Which neminated Victoria Woodnull as President Of the Coitea States. {be veadiog part taken by Mr. Maddox ta that convention was impressed so forcivly om tue minds of the Bpap presen- Satives who attended it that he seemed like an old ecquaintance to toe reporters, THE RVIDENCR.

The state oi the times and a jua'cions re- | para for the Nnancial condition of the city require that only those whieh at sight cost produce great Tesniis should receive any attention, The primary cause of the present distress of the country and depression of prices is that out of tie aggregate of the annual accumulation of the wealth of the country, which goes tv make up It4 capital, too large a proportion has been expended on works that are not remunerative and ure in atvance of any necessity for them.

The Sinking Fund Commissioners met ¥ day afternoon, the Mayor, the Comptroller, the City Chamberiam and the Onairman of the Fi- nance Committee of the Soard of Aldermen, who constitute the Board, all being present. | A resolation was adopted, on motion of the Comptroller, authorizing the lease of those ferries which bring no revenue to the city and which Were not sold at auction last week. The Comptroller was authorized to investigate and report to the Board whetner title to certain real estate sold by the city in 1866 was valid. The Comptroller said thatsome time ago the Dock Commissioners were called upon to iurnish certain information to the Sinking Fund, and as Yet they had made no reply. He considerea their refusal to comply with che resolution of the Sinking Fund extremely discourteous, A QUEER QUESTION, The Comptroller at this point produced s printed copy of the bill lately introduced in the Legisia- ture, which gives the Dock Cowmissioners a sal ary of $5,000 each, the President to get $6,000. “What 1 anquia like to know,” said the Comptrol- ler, turning toward the Mayor, ‘is whetuer that bill was sent to Albany with the Mayor's ap- provil?

Dr. Kenealy’s Rumpus in tho British Parliament. Failure of the Commons to Dis- cipline the Press, WAR RUMORS. The Bessemer Steamer to Pre- vent Sea-Sickness. Lonpow, April 17, 1875, Once again has Dr. Kenealy been the leading figure in the politics of the week, and occu pied time and attention which ought te have been better bestowed, A petition from 4 place called Prittiewell, a small village in Essex, having been presented on Thursday night, Mr, Disraelt drew attention to it, characterizing tt as impugning the conduct of the three judges in the Orton trial, which, it stated, was not a fair one, and all sorts of allegations were made in very plain language, and all sorts of motives imputed to the judges, who, it was asked, should be re- moved, A long debate followed upon this, which was brought toa head by Mr. Macdonald, who Is a “workingman’s representative,” who called upon Dr. Kenealy to speak to the qnestion, ‘The Doctor, who had a very thick and knotted bla thorn, instead of the famous umbrella, under his arm, rose at once, upbratding the House for assum- ing that the prayer of the petition was false with- out having heard it read, and complained that Mr. Disraeli had prevented a proper judgment being formed on it, Then Mr. Bright got up, and in his old vigorous and incisive style proceeded toadminister a sharp casttgation to the Doctor, protesting against his conduct in stumping the country and attacking the judges, while he post poned the motion of which he had given notice in the House with regard tothe trialathar. Las night the same question, or rather a cognate ona, ‘was gone into, Mr, Whalley, in a tearfal manner, called the attention of the House to a petition praying for the relief of Castro Orton Tichborne, The Home Secretary replied that he had consia- ered the matter, and was ready to account for bis condact to the House, winding up with some strong remarks upon the manner in which Dr. Kenealy’s motion affecting the judges was stil! kept upon the orders, and demanding thatit shoula either be proceeded with or withdruwa, This brought up the Doctor, who, speaking throughout In tones of the deepest tragety, warned the House of tne consequence of rejecting his mo tion, declaring that 1t would carry “Jismay and rage throughout England.” He also said that “ne bad seen tears in strong men’s eyes as they talked of that terrible trial” The Honse met all this with roars of laughter! but Mr. Bright rose, and in what hag been well termed “a tone of generous forbear ance” pointed ont to Dr. Kenealy the ill effects te bimself of not bringing forward nis motion. Mr, Waddey, however, was by no means so mild. He is the son of the Rev. Dr. Waddey, ‘ormerly prest- dent of the Wesleyan Methodist Conferenos, 1s & Queen’s Counsel and a jeader atthe bar. He declared that Dr. Kenealy, stead of having rea- son 10 complain, had met with an infinitely better reception in the House of Commons than he de | served, He read passages from the Englishman, and amid joud cheering appealed to tne govern- ment to put a@n end to the dissemiation of sucn slanders by criminally prosecuting the persons responsible for them. Anotner not very creditable episode has been the debate which has occurred in a so-called BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Aletter addressed by Mr. Herran to the Com- mittee on Foreign Loans appeared ia the columns This wi the breach of privilege complained of, and at the sug- gesuon of Mr. Disraeli the printers of the two journals were summoned to the bar of the House to deciare whence they obtained their information. After two nights’ debate on Mr. Disraeli’s proposition the idea was aban. doned, but there was a sad waste of words and want of dignity in tue wuole proceeding. RUMORS OF War.
