THE DISSENTIEN? DOZEN, Continued Disagreement of the Tilton-Beecher Jury. A LONG DAY OF SUSPENSE. a \Curious Scenes in and About the Court Room, UTTER SILENCE OF THE ARBITERS. Contradictory Rumors and Surmises as to Their Bias. “BIGHT TO FOUR” AND “TEN TO TWO.” To the disappointment of every one who has ever read or heard of the great scandal trial there Was vo decision rendered by the jury yesterday, ‘The end bas yet to come. And what the final ver- Gict in tuts protracted case will be remains to-day a8 much & matter of speculation as it was before the first tttie of evidence wastaken. The jury have jor monvns been patiently sitting day after Gay listening to the testimony given on both sides—both pertinent and impertinent to the issue. Such, however, has been the extraordi- Mary amount of extraneous and collateral evi- dence that has been allowed to be introduced ‘that it is not, perhaps, to be wondered at that ‘Of the twelve judges of the facts as to what their duty is on the issue. The fact that they have been @eliverating so loug clearly proves that there is, as was to be expected under the circumstances, considerable conflict of opinion, and whetber tho difference will ever be reconciled or adjusted sufticiently to allow of a decision being arrived at time alone can determine. From present indica- Mons the 4 CHANCES OF AN AGREEMENT even upon the main puints appear to be of the Most meagre kind, The Judge, evidently appreci- ating the desirability of some conclusive result being reached, has wisely determined not to in- terrupt at any tine the deliberations of tno jury, He stated again yesterday that unless they send word to him in some definite way that they desire to come into court and announce that they have either agreed upon averdict or that there is no possibilty of such a consammation, he wili not interrupt them, and that if the jurors so elect they can siay out until New Year’s Day. Toat there is a possibility of their arriving ata definite conclusion to-day bat few are confident enough to expect, although tv 1s Just possible, bat scarcely probable, that they may. inorder to GIVE THERM A CHANCE the Judge at the adjournment of the Court yes- terday atternoon said that he would at amy time go to the Court to receive their verdict, making a fixed time—ten o’clock to-aay—ior bis positive appearance, There is, it is generally thought, but little likelibood of am agreement, and it ie now @ question whether the jory will even send any notification that they wih to make known their position to the Judge 1n open court before Monday morning at | the earliest, There are many who believe that the jarymen have already, each and individually, made up their minds, that they have made known their intentions to their seliows, and are now only waitimg closetea together jor tne sake of leading the public to delicve they are seeking to come to & unanimous decision. Tat such could possibly be the case is rather dificult to imagine, for 1t cannot be In the nature of common sense to Suppose that twelve men of ordinary inteluigence would be willing to subject themselves to the tn- convenieaces and discomforts o/ an imprisonment in @ jury room for the sake of public opinion. When tne fact is considered i they have al- ready nad smpie opportunity to make up ther | minds during the progress of the trini and the | summing up of the counsel, no one would believ: had they returned into court yesterday, or did | they do so te-day, that they had deen too precipt- tate or hurried in their deliberations, For months the padlic interest and curiosity has | deen centred in this trial, and 1t would be a ben- eft ana BELIEF TO THB PUBLIC at large if now a speedy determination could be ings. and belongings, be buriea among th of the past, never to be again spoken or written w there is a jailing of in the pub- ia clearly evidenced by about, By le interest in the case, room and in the neighborhood of the Cours House, | It now begina to be the opinion on all sides, and tm every circle of society, that a disagreement, aad consequently ne verdict, must be the resut, This, effect im decreasing tue argue that t ‘true sylution of IME PROBLEM PROPOUNDED as there was at the heginaing, aod that it Is of no ‘use going to the Court House simply to waste | time and to satis'y a simple curtosity.

THE SCBNBS IN COURT. As might be expected, the phalanx of curlostty- seekers was recouvled yesterday morning. It was thought that, exhausted by tiresome de- bates as to che guilt or inmocence of the detend- ant, and disgusted beyond measure with the en- ure surroundings of the protracted investigation, the jury, anable to agree, would present them- selves in court at eleven o’clock and announce their tnapility, In view of this anticipated re- sult of their deliberations, and, indeed, impelled by the same motives which induced many to at- tend tne trial from the beginning, a dense crowd assembled in the vicinity of the court room shortiy after the gates had been thrown open. Thanks to the vigilance and the exertions of the police the ardor of many of the visitors was re- pressed, otherwise the court room would have been almost unenduraole, The gallery was packed in twinkling, but in the main body of the court there was no overcrowding, in days gone by. DISAPPOINTMENT, ‘When the buzz and excitement incident to the opening of the court had somewhat subsided, and when (ho great throng became somewhat com- posed, the arrival of the Jury was awaited with feelings of intense anxiety. A quarter of an hour rollea slowly along, and, there being then no sign of the twelve men to whom the world now looks for the solution of the great social problem, many wended their way to the corridors, there to dis- cuss the probable issue of the cage, A feeling of alsappointment was general. Judge Neilson was, as usual, promptly on hand, looking as bright and cheeriu! ag on the first day of the trial. The Chief Justice 1s decidedly popular with all classe: His demeanor is well calculated to win everybody with whom he comes in contsot, Respectful ad- miration is depicted on every face as he passes along. Upon bis arrivalin court he proceeded 1o | his private chamber, where he remained until one o'clock. me JURY sent no request Whatever to the Judge during the morning, and (hia was regarded as a rather their utmost to arrive at some definite concia- sion, On the other hand, however, it was hinted that the Jnrors were by po means pleased with ‘the reiusal to allow them to see such parts of the | charge as they desired, Many claim that the jury had their minds fully made up before they left the court, but that they deem it due to the lengthened deliberation, Howbeit, nothing w: heard (rom them daring the day. Asto whether they would be summoned to the court room Judge Neilson yesterday again emphatically expressed his opinion, He Under no circumstances would he send for them unless they desired in- structions. He was not at ali uneasy on account ol their prolonged absences, considering the great interest tavolvea and the length of tne investt- gation, MORE RUMORS. The surfeit of rumors prevaient on Friday baad a good effect yesterday, and the numerous efforts of | certain facetious gentry to create excitement and aconsequent stampede were of no avai. The friends of either party persistently ciaimea a jority. Beecber’s adherents confidently spread the statement that the jury stood ten to two, ton haa eight in bis favor, This, it was stated, was the same way in which they stood iast night, There was, however, no verification of this state- ment if the officers im charge of the Jury remained faithfal to their trust, In fact, everytning con- nected with thelr movements remained # mys- tery. TRE COUNSEL for the defendant, including Messrs. Porter, Tracy, Abbott and Shearman. were on hand atan early hour, The Oret mentioned gentieman sas ‘near Mrs, Beecver almost the entire day. With the exception of Mr. Morris none of the plamtift counsel put ig an appearance. Tilton bad ona purple necktie and looked rather natty. He was in good spirits, or seemed to be, and conversed | with bis friends with characteristic atatehness, |The defendsnt was not prevent during the day, but was not ferty miles away from the Court House. THE AVTEXDANCE was very limited and the atmospbere w: de- cided imorovement on that of the day preceding. The same familiar faces could be seen on every hand, The folks from Plymouta churen nestied together in their accustomed piaces, but no means jubliant. There were lots of idiers, as the facetious Mr. Mallison, remarked, “The: must be plenty of men o1 of employment.” “Show me,” saia he, “s dog fight at the corner of the street, aud Jl! point out aii the lezy men in | town.” THE REORSS.

He had always a smile and a seat for his friends; but one might naturally infer that when the jory retired to de- liberate bis Kind offices were at an end. But Murray ts no suce Just think of it, When the jury retired on Friday evening to their night quarters, carefully guarded by the Court officials jozen policeme: ould marshal them in array but Murray. The jury were in light marching otder and highway robbery was out of the question. The inquiry naturally arises, “Wn: did Mr. Murray want?’ The jury aid not require camp stools, but, then, If he had not been sround novody would have known that the jury stood ten | to two. After stating that jurymen Jeffrey and Fiate are for Tilton be thinks that jaryman Davis ia douptial, This ia really wonderful information, and significant, considering +! whe officers of the Court have bees sworn to allow no commu- nicavion between outsiders and the arbiters of the case.

In elose proximity to Mrs, Beecher, whose sad sulle awakens painiui feelings, w Mrs. Melvon, a cheerful looking laay, fal of kind and encouraging words, There were also present | Mr. Bullard, Mrs, Beecher’s brother; Mr. Scovill her son-in-law; Mrs. Shearam: Mrs. Bigelow, Mrs. Lecklee, Mrs. Walton and a the general audience were Mes«rs, B.

What the eye sees and the hear: covets the hand oftentimes takes away, Having examined his cnin satisfa torily and latd down the razor, other jarymen with stubborn ruits felt anxious to follow bis ex ample. Most of them shaved and congratulated each other on their improved appearance. Dount- | less they all felt refreshed and tackled each otner | with renewea vigor. Whether they did or not, or whether they at that time had agreed to disa; nobody knows except those who learned by “the aid of a powerful fleld glass tnat was with Beecher at Fort Sumter.” It is gratifying to know, how- ever, that “all had clean shirts.” Yet this feeling must be somewhat subdued when we consider that “two or three of the jurors looked very sick and ured.” Clean clothes, however, are at all times good fer invalids, It is to be hoped that no cases of suicide will be reported, ‘McMurn,” accord. wg to this enterprising individual with “the Beecher glass,” “has a bandker- chief ued uently round his head and he ts leaning on his band,” Wel, it is “to be hoped for McMuru’a sake it will not go on mach jonger, for they eay this juror is jovial ana good natured, Several important facts have been noted by this careful and painstaking observer. For instane: ‘Fiate was very determined, and atone time raised his hand as though to strike his interlocutor, his face wearing am angry expres- #109” He did not doit, however, for the poilee we: within call, But it is something to know that “Foreman Oarpenter came up in the midst of the scene and sat down, fanning himself vigcrously.”’ There was no objection to that, gor does the | pabdlic care much whether he did or not; butis | the Beecher trial, Tne most startling disclosure, however, in connection with “the Beecher glass,’’ is that “ase sat with bis feet on the window sill, smoking.’ This must mean a solution of the problem, for tf Vase had not bad bis legs up, his back might probably have been in that position. And then, the fact that he was smoking argues very forcibly that he was contemplating, for he Was looking out of the window. Then we have tt, sgain, that “MoMurn ts deing most of tne talk- ing; but tt must be borne in mind that McMurn was the first man to get shaved and had the best right to express an opinion, After the tempest comes the calm, for “Officer Spaulding has just come into the jury room with the dinner things.” Good boy, OMcer Spanting! and when you want to run for @ Commissioner of Police just borrow that “Beecher eld glass.” AN ADJOURNMENT. No developments were made during the day. Affairs generally were becoming very monotonous when Judge Netison, snortly be/ore four o'clock, left bis private chamber, ana, ascending the bench, apnounced that he considered it proper that the Court should adjourn, in view of the general sur- roundings, weather and prospects included. He further stated that he would be present in court this morning at ten o’elock, to receive any com- munication from the jury, but that it would not be opened to the public. Should the jury send him word they had agreed upon a verdict, one | hour would elapse before they would be brought | into court, durmg which time the counsel and all the parties interested would be daly notified. His Honor then left the bench and the crowd slowly dispersed, MORNING OUTSIDE SCENES. ‘The general belief on the part o1 the public that the jury in the great Brooklyn trial would y day morning, on the opening of the court, either Tender # verdict for the one side or the other, or that in the event of their paving been unavie to agree they would reappear om the ecene of their | six months’ !abor aud make an announcement to the effect that there existed no kind of a proba- bility of their reaching any vnantmity of opinion, drew larger crowd than usual wo the Brookiyn jo of justice. Bhe vbjective pout was, of course, the court room, and long before the ap- pointed hour, eleven o'clock, jor tne return of the judge there was s long line of people waiting for admission. In fact, there could not bave been jess than from 300 to 400 people formed en queue at nine o'clock, and wno patiently awaited the opening of the portais through which they alone could enter the cele- brated chamber wherein the trial of reputations has for so long ® time been conducted. The; were certainly more than twice the number present, even at this early hour, than could pos- mibly be accommodated. Still each man io this masse of OURIOUS HUMANITY thought he was sure to reach the coveted goal, nO matter what the fate of bis immediate prede- et, was, and that he could s@ represent | claims to admission as not only to entitle nim, bat to imsure b the en- trée, The officers im attendance, when the time arrived for admitting the audience, were more than usually diseriminating in their choice of parties whom they would allow to pass, and every one who came up was put through » searching cros#-examination. The result of these questionings peculiarly illustrated tae anger’ of iife, and, im fact, brought forcibiy to mind text, “Many are called, but few are chofen.” The Aisgast of the majority of the individuals compom 1 throng was piainiy stamped on thetr coun- tenances; but even alter they had met witn the first revug they stili songht to gain their pol: With @ perseverance worthy of a better caus Still they were met with the stereotyped repiy, | which some plously inclined policeman had | primed his brothers with, of | “TOO LaT®; YE CANNOT ENTER HERE.” | All throagh the merning ana up to recess, at | one o'clock, the corridors and passage ways of tne Court House were every minute receiving fresh | additions to the number of loungers. The time was passed away im discussing the situation and talking over the prospects of a verdict, The gen- rai opinion in this regard appeared to be, as it | Bas been for months past, that the jary would inevitably disagree. There were, however, aiew more sangnine fellowers and believers of either the plaintiff or defendant, who ventured with the | most unbioshing boldness to assert that they pos- invely kmew tne jury were going to render a verdict for Tiiton or Beecher, according as they affected one or the other, and | tat the aelay bad only arisen from the fact that these twelve men desired to stay out for a certain time just for the effect of the | thing, and not because they had any difference of opinion, Tnen, again, there were the usual quantity of wiseacres who knew exactly what as going on In the jury room and how they were dividea, The iniormation on this point which vhese people gave out broadcast was simply amus- img, and as arule it was taken at its true vaine, although there were some few gullible individe- als Wo took in all the cant as true gospel.

They gave no sign or Intl- mation 88 to how they stood, notwithstanding the many queries that were addressed them on that subject. ABOUT THE FOREMAN, It was rumored around in the afternoon that the result of the triai will show shat Chester Car- penter, the foreman of the jury, has been much misanderstooag, and that, althouga he has been ‘thought all along to be a strong partisan of Mr. Beecher, yet in reality he is at heart in favor of @ verdiecs for Theodore Tilton, and that he will so declare nimself This rumor is given for what it is'worth, for it oniy instances the absurdities and nonsense that float around a court when peopie are watting for a verdict. CHANGING THE JURY ROOM, Shortly afer one o'clock the jury were shifted | from their quarters on the western side of the | building, owing to the sun shining directly into their room, and moved to tne eastern room, where they conld obtain shade and more breeze. They appeared to appreciate the change, for they nearly all went to the windows and sat there for a long white enjoying the cool wind, which cathe on to blow about the same time, They nevertneless appeared to be suffering considerably from the heat, That they are intend- ing to still stay out is almost beyond question, for they have all sent to their homes, by permission of the Juége, for a fresh supply of clean linen, &c, Tue adjournment of the Gvurt in the afrernoon at so early an hour was hailed with delight by all the loiterers, and they nearly all cleared out of the building and went on their way, There were yet a jew who remained on the sidewalks, loath to quit, and feariul that if they did so some move migut take place which they would miss. After waiting arownd {for two or three hours, however, they even moved of, and the streets presented ‘the same quiet and orderly appearance that they did betore this excitement began. A QUEER INCIDENT, Tt was said yesterday among the Beecher people that the jury stood ten for defendant and two for Plaintut; in other words, ten for acquittal and | two for conviction on the charge of adultery, The | explanation of the means adopted to obtain “re. liabie’ information from the jury by the sup- porters and adiérents of Henry Ward Beecher affords @ singular commentary on the scale of Morala that obtains in the City of Churches, It ia a well known fact thatthe Beeeher party e | secured possession of a room in the Polytechnic Institate, a window of which commands a view of the room occupied yesterday afternoon by the jury now bee tite onthe merits of the cause be; | tween ‘Tueodore Tilton and fenry Wara Becener. The old adage, “All is tair in tove and war,” seems to have been received 10 ite most literal sense by Plymouth church, and the possession of this Polytechnie room and its vantage ground has beem used to its fullest advantage. Of course, scarcely any telegraphic signals could be exchanged between the Beecher jurors and their friends in the institate, but with he aid of po glasses the watchers in the room Guid eaaliy see what move. adits Were made in the jury room, even though the law esteemed the latter apartment as sacred | from the gaze of the outside worla. Taken in cof. { nection with the remarkable and significant dem- onstration made by certain members of ¢ Beecher family in Mr. Beecher’s carriage on Fri- day, the story herewith related has its full signl- ficance and import. If only shows bow desperately Plymouth cbarch ts at work and bow determinedly the adherents of the debate among the Jurymen progresses, Aliu- sion has already been made to the conduct of Vol- unteer and Special Deputy Sherif Martay in mar- shalling the jurors from room to room, and that Pregnant fact aleo furnishes @ link in @ curious chain of evidence that shows clearly the methods adopted to 40 ail that is possibie to wia « verdict for the defendant, The fact that ten of the jarors bad expressed themselves in favor of a verdict for Mr. Beocner ‘was loudly proclaimed by the Beecher party, ana they were not siow to give the source of their in- formation, it appears that the telegraphic mes- | sages or signals were mot successful, and | | this fact shows clearly that there nad been some previous arrangement made between members of the jury and active workers in the Piymouth pastor’s behalf. Find- ing that no knowledge could be commanicated to outside iriends in the Polytechnic Institute a very inrewd dodge was adopted. Wo give the story xactly as related by a Pivmouth partisan | ie all right, Mr. Beecher ts golng to be ac- | quitted, Tne jury now stand ten to two in | favor of Mr, Beecher, jast aa [said two weeks ago. 1 knew it would be so before they got through. [ Know who the ten are. Icould give you their names, Before Monday we'll get a verdict, It’s | allright, Howdo l know? Why we bave aroom im the Polytechnic Institute and can see what ie being done, They had a show of hands justnow and or friends were in the ten who were to- gether, I's all rigut; we will get @ verdict yet.” OUTSIDE NIGHT SORNES. Yell Of night was thrown over the scene | crowds poured into the Court House through the halropened gate. They gathered under ine do! and discussed the jary, their deportment, their religious affinities, with ali the evergy of county politicians. Ther remarks, if mot original or saptent, had the merit of being somewhat novel, The following is a type:— “By —, if Iwasa jury I'd hang old Beecher | ; he shouidn’s fool the people any longer.” This was received with great applause by tne “iicentious Classes,’ who Mr. Bvarte main- tained are the only people who velicve in the defendant's gaily. Here is another apotherm from an old Long Island farmer:—“Ihey feed those jurymen too | weil, Why don’t they starve ‘em into a verdict?

A platoon ef police wader the command of Sergeant Rogers kept the crowd from advanc- ing too near to the walls encircling the County County House, So the scene kept om repeating | itgolt during the night, and the crowd grzed Wistiully at the dimly-lighted room which con- tained the tweive men, upon whose verdict the | civilized World Was Waiting with the deepest in- terest, WHAT THR BROOKLYN PEOPLE SAY. Last evening all the places of public resort in Brooklyn were filled with people who seemed in- tent only on discussing tne probaole resuit of the denberations of the jury in the Beecher case, In many Of the saloons and restaurants bets were offered and agcepted as to the number who hold out for Beecher ana as to vhe number who believe in his goilt, There appeared to be no idea that an agreement would take place. BEECHER A NOBLE MAN. There was a large assemblage in a wine room close to the City Hall about nine o'clock last even- | ing. The absorbing topic of conversation was the | question of the agreement of the Jury, A gentie- | man dressed in very fashionable style said, “Tne jury will never agree. I¢ is ali moonshine to keep them together any longer, The Judge and the lawyers know it very well. Some believe Beecher gutity, but [think all of that opinion are wrong. Mr. Beecher is too noble a man, too long before the pubito with untainted reputation to be thus rumed, No twelve men who ever .ived in Brook- | lyn will agree to the destruction of his character | and great usefulness.” A KIND DEED REMEMBERED. “My opinion,” said a man who had paused on his way home, evidently after & hard day’s labor, | von the Beecher case is of little account.

A Well known member of the Brooklyn Bar was at first averse to speaking on tho subject of the trial, Atlength he became less reserved. His views were expressed in rather guarded terms, Beech- er’s letters, ne said, were strong criminating evi- dence of the fact charged against bim, and the oral testimony in support was of a most remark- able character, The trial itself should not have lastea more than thirty days. The delence was perfect under the circumstan and every ite able point was touched.

If the jury acquit Beecher I shail ve gad.” “But is he innocent?” excisimed an elderly geu- tleman. “It’s all very wellto talk about truth. The evidence ought to convince any one that there are strong grounds for doubing the innocence of Beeouer.” “How can you doubt it?” said the first speaker. “Don’t he deny the charge?’ ‘Ab, denying amd proving are not tne same | thing,” said old linen coat, as be fanned himseif Vigorously with his straw hat, “Let the trum | prevatl, that’s my motto.’? “Trato crushed to earth will rise again,” said , the Plymouth advocate, “and you'll Gnd it so ia snis case.’ “I say, old fellow,” remarked a young man who stood at the last speaker's elbow, “whe. aid you get that quotation?
