RaLeian, Jane 16, 1875. Your correspondent has conversed with prom- nent gentlemen residing ta different sections of the State, to ascertain the general sentiment, as expressed in toe opinions of its recognized lead- era and exponents, upon the question of Beecker’s @ailt or innocence in the Tilton matter. The clergy I find much divided, but greatly disinelinea to the ptbiication of theirgames tn connection with the matter. THY CLERGY. Rev. W. Q, Starr, President of the We: Female College, says not guilty. Key. L. 8, Reid, also a prominent Methodiss fiivine, with equal emphasis says guilty. THE LAWYERS, ‘The following leading lawyers express the opin- lon that Beecher is guilty:— Hon, George W. Brooks, United States District Vudge for the Hastern District of Norta Carolina, Hon. Richmond M. Pierson, Chief Justice, and Wiliam B, Rodman, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Hon, William N. H. Smith, perhaps the ablest jurist in the State; Hon. Bartholomew ¥.

Day, of Halifax, VIRGINIA. r RICHMOND, June 17, 1875, The probable result of tae Beecher trial is a sab- lect of great interest in both religious and secular circles in Virginia. Among the jega) fraternity it ls @ topic of constant and animated discussion, Lawyers look at the case from a professional point of view, while the clergy regard it Jrom @ moral and Teligious standpoint. Uikely to be thoroughiy posted on the tacts ana proois in the case, I cailed upon several of the leading members of each profession with a view to ascertain their opinions on the subject. The lawyers were inclined to speak quite fre bart invariably found the gentiemen of the pulpit reticent, probably from the charitable motives an by “which their conduct toward @ brotner in | ‘roubie is usuaily governed, The prevailing opinion is that Mr. Beecher is guilty, though [ Jound several distinguished gentlemen of tne -pposite opinion. The results of the several in- terviews are given be.ow. THE CLERGY. The Rey, J. William Jones, of the Baptist Church, Buthor of the “Reminiscences of General Lee” end Secretary of the Souturen Historical Secie unhesitatingly says Beecher is certainiy guilty: that he had never had a doubt about that since he read bis “ragged edge” and otuer letters of con- titlon and despair, Rey. Robert A. Gibson, of Sr, James’ Episeo- pal church, said that he Bad not read the evidence | 4a the trial, but that be bad both heard and read a good deal about tae case, clined to believe that Mr. Beecher was lunocent. Fe thought a great m&jority of clerzymea would agree wish him that Mr. Beecber was not guilty, Rev. A. E, Dickenson, editor of the Heligious Herald \a thia city, which is the organ of the | Baptists, said, in a most melancholy and reluctant manner, “I think, or at least I’m afraid, that ne's guilty.” Rey. W. W. Green, an Mpiscopal clergyman from Prince Edward county, tn this State, was present in the law office of Colonel Thomas J, Evans when tie HERALD correspondent called. Colonel Byans asked him what he thougut of the Beecher case dif Beecher was guilty. He salu:—“Well, { don’t know what to thing, [ have not read the evidence, but I’m rather tnclined to hope be is in- hocent, and, after ail, perhaps ho is innocent.” Rev, John E. Edwards, pastor of the Broad treet Methodist cuurcn, said:—‘From the gen- eral evidence Beccher is no donbt guilty, for no Innocent man could have acted as he dia at the ‘tial, showing evident signs of a disturbed mind.” | Tne Key. Joshua Peterkin, of the St. James Epis. opal church, said:—‘rom the little | have read gud heard about the case I cousider the de‘end- ant inpocent.”” THE LAWYERS, Ex-Jadg@e James Nelson, an eminent prac Vioner at thé Richmend Bar, said (hat nls sp lon was that Beecher was guilty, and t) Evarta recognized the fact, judging from his ar- gument, which was nothing wore taan to befog tue jury. Judge Robert Ould, who hae an enviable repnta- tion as a criminal iawyer, and who, it will be re- membered, prosecuted Dan Sickles for the mur- | der of Pulp Barton I said thas he beileved Beecher was guilty, and that he was convinced of his gait by the evidence before the Piymouth | church committee itsels General Bradley 7. Johnson, who has stadted the evidenco in the Beecher case with all tae uvidity and interest of a persevering and succes: | ful law student, said thousand to ot that the chances were a bat Beecher was guilty, but that the jury would not convict ptcause of the “tall | swearing” om both sides, Judge W. W. Cramp, a well known lawyer, sola | that he had not made np his mind yet as to the Fullt or innocence of Beecher. Mr. Kvarts had made & powerul argument, but weak on the facta, Judge A. B. Gulgon, of the Austings Court of this city, said he had never had a moment’s doubt sto Beecher’s guilt. Lhe Jetters published were entirely saMvient to satisfy hls mind, without she (ntroduction of any other evidence. Attorney General Dantel said courre, want anythiag More than that to convines me.” Mr. Robert Ward, Supreme Court reporter, sald :—"L am of the opinion that ne is guilty, and the majority of the Bar of this city aud State, that ‘Gnilty, of (pave heard talking about it, chink that be 1 | puilry.”” United States Commissioner Fleasant, who ts Also Clerk of the United States Cirenit Cuart, eon- tended that Mr. Beecher was innocent, and he says be has read a great deai of ‘he testimony. Jnited Siates Commissioner Atkins, who has ares notning Beeever 1s clearly about the speecd wuilty. Harrison Rodertsow, a leading iawyer of Soush- weet Virginia, residing at Yanville, .sayss-'1 have read uttentively the verbatim reports of the trial almost from tke beginning. The resnit is, shat if l were one of the jury, sworn in the case, Lshould not hesitate a meimentin finding a ver- dict of not guilty, and (if the raies or practice of the New York courts would allow it) L should feel tinpelied to recommend, iu addition to that ver- ict, that Mr, Tilton and Mr. Moulton ant some other witnesses be prosecuted for artini and deliberate perjury. PENNSYLVANTA, TULADELY MIA, June 22, 1875, Provably the most (requent comment bere upon the leecher case is that the verdict of tie jury will not decide mach.

Price, President of the American Philo- sophical Society, and one of the oldest lawyers. 1u the Centennial Clty, said that hiv hopes had been with Mr. Baeoher, and he should nos like to ex- press & positive opinion as to his guilt. He said he thought Tilton had forfeited al claim to @ veraict vy his having condoned tue offence he charged Mr. Beecher with, James i, Meverin, a prominent criminal lawyer, said he had not the shadow of a doubt but that Mr, Beecher was guilty of the oMenes chargea against hia, A leading young tawyer said that the plaintif’ had made outa strong case. There has been no defence whatever to the main point at issue.

An eminent lawyer, who has taken great inter- ess in the case, but who, for reasons of his own, does not wish his name made pubite, says he be- “eves Beecher is guilty. A lawyer in New York, who waa one of Mr. Beecher’s counsel, but who has been out of the case for some time, saw Mr. Beecher’s statement written in answer to Tilton’s accusation, This was Beecher’s own work, and was shown to this lawyer as his counsel, This gentieman told me that if that statement had been aslowed to go before & court or the pubile as jt came from Beecher’s hand, without amend- ments and Omtasjons by nis lawyer, it would have convicted bim beyoud redemption, by the admis- sions which it made, New Haven, June 19, 1875.

Mr. W—— said that among his associates | in the Methodist Church there was bes one opin- ton, and that was that Mr. Beecher was guilt that the sirongest witness that Mr. Beecher against him was himseif, THE LAWYERS. Mr. Dexter R, Wright, a leading lawyer of the city, remarked that he thought Mr, Beecher mno- cent, and that Mr. Tiltom had not been actuated by right motives in instituting thts trial. A well known judicial officer of the Superior and Supreme Court, wno declined to have his name mentioned, said that, from Mr. Beecher’s testi- miony aud his letters, there was no other hypoth- esis but that Mr, Beecher was guilty. Wiliam ©.

Shortly after nine a, M. on Thursday morning the Ideal leit a dock on ihe Westchester shore, op- posite Whitestone, and steamed up to Fort Schuy- ler, where she awaited the arrival of her antago- nist. Five minutes had reely elapsed befora the Lookout came up under full head of steam and the ideal ran down to meet her, After saluting each other with whistles they steamed slowly back to Fort Sc.uyler and took up their posttiuns, When they were both inaline no \ime was lost, and, ringing two belis, they started well together, The Lookout was the quickest ju getting speed on, bat before sne was aciear length away the Ideal nad her bow abreast of her competitor’s stern, ana they remained in that position jor about a quarter of amile, The ideal then gained about haif ale hn, Dut betore they arrived off Randall's Island the Lookout had recovered ber former posi« tion, The yacuts started at precisely 0b. 27m, lis, by the watch of Mr. G. A. Adee, the referee on board the Ideal, As the yachts came up to Heil Gate tna Ideal closed up the gap and took the lead, having at last got into complete working order.

Passing Coney Island the Ideal, keeping too close in shore, teached bottom aod nearly entirely stopped her headway. The mis- hap gave tne lookout a chance to close up tne gap, and she came up within bat a mite before the Ideal was going fil steam auead. Aiter passing whe bar the Ideal graauatiy jeit the Lookoat, and by noon was lully two miles ahead, Attwo P.
