g PLYMOUTH CHURCH. Mr. Beecher Replies to Coun- sellor Yan Cott. THE ADVISORY COUNCIL POSTPONED. Plymonth church turned out in her might last even- ing for the purpose of participating in the regular Pri- day night prayer meeting and to hear what Mr. Beecher would say in regard to the recently published Moulton and Judge Van he would correspondence between Cott, for all felt assured say some- thing upon this subject. And none were dis- appomted, Mr. Beecher spoke with great fecling and earnestness and was frequently in- terrupted by outbursts of applause, which he vainly endeavored to stop. He wished, he said, to speak calmly, dispassionately and truthfully, and there- fore desired the audience to maintain a dignified com- posure. His request was regarded until be said, in re- ferring to his having been criticised for selecting such men as Mr. Claflin, Mr, White, Mr. Sage and others of his friends to serve on Council, that he would have bad to outside of Brooklyn to find men, eave five or six, who were not his frends, and then a uni- versal clapping of hands and stamping of fect was begun and continued several moments, But if Mr. Beecher ‘was 1D earnest, and he was terribly so for the most part, he could not altogether resist the temptation to ‘be fanny once in awhile. For instance, he jocularly referred to the Rev. W, W. Patten as the evangelist of mischief from the Northwest, and the conferring of this peculiar appeliation “brought down the house,” Again, Mrs, Moulton the “Joan of Arc was of Brooklyn,” and the congregation evidently thought this very funny, too, for nearly all “smiled audibly.” Toward the latter end of his re ‘ks Mr. in a toneof Antony when Beecher grew extremely sarcastic, and voice that would have suited Mark Daranguing his “sweet friends’? over the body of Cwsar spoke of Judge Van Cott as “a plumed knight on a milk white palfrey, rgling with Mrs. Woodbuil to-day to right the social system, and on the same white steed riding to the building up of the walls of Zion to-morrow. Before the business meeting, however, Mr, Beecher spoke at some length iu the prayer meeting. His topic was the various types of religion as evidenced by obser- vation of the different people embracing i, Instead of the great diversity of appearance and expression on the part of those who had been converted being an evi- dence against their sincerity it was the strongest pos- sible proof of their earnestness No two men think alike or act alike in the ordinary business affairs of life, and why, then, should any one expect to see all who pro- fess religion and claim to have been converted express their hearts’ belief and experiences in identical language and actions? THE BUSINESS MESTING. At the close of the prayer meeting an adjourned business meeting was held. with F, M. Edgerton as Moderator. Not a soul loft the room. On the contrary, « score of those who had been standing in the corridors managed to squeeze themselves inside, Brother John T, Howard moved that the committee ‘ppointed by the church to represent it before the | Mutual Council represent it before the Advisory Coun til The resolution was adopted. Then amid a deathlike sullness Mr. Beecher camo forward and said:— MR. BEECHER’S ADDRESS 1 hold in my hand twe letters which have been pub- lished in the daily papers and which are devoted to' me, to this church, to tts committees, and to the councils past and prospective, and which, therotore, constitute & fit matter for your attention for afew moments. The first is the letter published by Mrs. Emma C. Mouiton | to ber counsel:—*‘Please advise me whether I ought, under the circumstances, to make any further effort at present to vindicate myself from his course slander’? [referring to me) “or to expose his wickedness betore a thurch council or otherwise, 1 will be much obliged if | you will favor me with an early answer.” It is upon this question that Mr. Van Cott makes the letter, of which | I sball only read in paragraphs, because it has been published in all the papers, morning and evening. Of pourse Ne who steps upon the first sentence in the threshold of this letter pauses. When men are in great distress and troubles even enmity ceases for the moment. No officer of thedaw bearing a writ would tare to intrude upon a funeral, and he must have a harder heart than I have who would be inclined to invade the rivacy of Mr, Van Cott’s household when bangs upon the aoor of his house, and also upon the very door of bis letter, such an annubciation as this:— | { ‘My painful domestic anxieties have prevented an ears | fier reply to your note of the 17th of January.” His daughter had died, and one would have supposed that but of the solemnity of such an experience it would have been impossible for a man to have sat down and #o have deliberately penned a which cental insinuations, falsehoods; criticisms that are neither fair nor just nor gentlemanly; arraigning a whole church and, as 1 shee show, doing that which no man with the instinets of ageotleman could possibly do. (Applause) May 1 be permitted to go en with my re- marks without applause? 1 will not detain you a great while, for there is not much of it I wish to speak with calmness, but I meam to peak with truthtuInesa Now, in so far as I concerned in this jetter, more than one-balf of it 18 a direct attack upon me. So far as that ts con- cerned I sball pass it all by, except one paragraph, in which he says, “If anything can mitigate the coarse. | ness of the pastor's speech at the church meeting it ‘was the inexorable necessity of the sitaation”—allud- ing to the remarks which I made lust Friday mght in respect to Mrs. Moulton. Now you yourselves are witnesses that from the day that Mra. Moulton ap- peared before the church—I believe in yonder room—by her counsel, Mr. Pryor, not a document has ever come with her name attached to it that did reek with the words “‘crime,”? ‘adultery,’ ‘perjur: and every otber offensive epithet. It was the charac- teristic stamp of that correspondence, and we were obliged to si in church meeting and have such letters oo woman of delicacy could have read salou WITHOUT A BLUSH UPON UR CHEEK, and when last Friday night I simply stated’ that she | Dad falsitied—I only used that single phrase, that single allegation—I don’t recail it, but the mere declaration that it was not I, but she—has brougut down this | criticism of coarseness upon me from Judge Van Cott. lt 1s proper, in his judgment, for a lady to reel off jetter after letter, indulging in all these indelicate and offensive phrases; but ior me to say that they are false, and that, in to a single one of the sheng is the contrary—she les “under an allegation.”’ appeal to every gentleman and to the remarks that I did make, and consider the charges | that bad been made and repeated—all of them in tho } inmost indelicate phraseology, under circumstances that would have (@ed the patience of any church to the ut- ermost—whether my dealing under the circumstances was not far and honorable. (Applause) Is a man to stand in the community as long as [ have, and before a church as Jarge as this, which I have built op under Goa, aed after the five years of trial that I have been ey through, and is a woman to be permitted to lash bim with her tongue, and by every epithet which is unbecoming even to mau, and when he at last speaks one word to renounce and throw off these epithets, is that dealing in coarseness? I dealt lenientiv, I dealt delicately. Judge Van Cort ef the council—the mutual counci—and on this subject I propose to be very ex- plicit, He declares, in language which I think he will pot be willing to read @ year hence, “if Piymowth church had in good faith carried out the ment on Which we starved there would haye been mo exclusion within ur without the locality, Plym- uth charclt broke down the arrangement fora coun- oil by fonyeas + in its claim to exciude four local dele- it of this whole number of fifty delegates to be Favited to constivate the council.” Plymouth church SP ia thing, and no living man knows it better Judge Van Cott. It never insisted upon ex- tluding any church or any of the men mentioned on the other side—never. And on this subject allow me to call your attention to one or two facts. On the 3d of Junvary the first mention between the two parties of the churches that were to be cailed, was made At that our committee said to Judge Van Coit | that they not wwtend, nor think that he ought to all, local churches into a matter like this At their protest was made against two of the yeh Judge Van Cou had mentioned in h. was mado against them on the the pastors of these churches were UXFITTRD TO BE IMPARTIAL JUDGES in @ cane pened nll thia The commitice at that time d's- tnctly and em; assured Mr. Van Cott that they bad no intention ep drawing from the council or of delaying the call in case he did not acquiesee in these suggestions § Wh ~ at a subsequent meeting be made their protest a writien declaration was read to him that ‘would go on with this coun- cil, whether they withdrew those two obnoxious churches or not. It claimed simply this, the right to suggest o him and to those co-operating with him tho impropriety of having two churches that had been in Sntagonism with us for more than three years put on a ome ees such @ delicate matter as this, made the #1 jon, and in making it they said:—‘‘It shall not hinder the counc!!; itshali not stop the council. If you prefer to go on and call those two charebes iy will with you.” And on the 10th a lotter was sent to him by oe@ two churches and puting in ppties exact language of the letter; — Brooriys, Jan. 12, 1876.

I is one of those things so flagrant that I believe I um justified su saying that in this matter he bas said that WHICH I8 ABSOLUTELY FALSE, (Applanse.) And I say here again tha did not try to get rid of @ mutual counci it in good faith, and was prepared to go int was prepared to hold the council and let it take ite ow a will in respect to the scope of inquiry that should come up. The church did not wish to binder it, No; they said that it would not bean impartial mutaal council, and so would be likely not to fully satisfy the people with its results if it contained two men who were sworn on the other side, And to charge this church with being unwilling to have a council is a gross injustice. My speech of last Friday night went out through the Associated Press in an imperfect form throogh the country, and I heard to-day from Buston that we have broken Up @ mutual council. We had not a desire to do it, We did just the other thing, and nobody knows it better than Mr. Van Cott 1 pass by the slur which be has put upon Plymouth church. “I remind you,” he says, “that Plymouth church sent its solemn protest to the great representative council of 1874, complaining that embly of delegates from distant churches was y in Opposition to the genius of Congregatioual polity--one great aim of which is to confine local troubles to their own locality, and to settle them in the the Advisory | neighborhood, by the aid of neighboring churches, go | Without spreading the tale of local dissensions over the whole land?” Those are our words, That was then true, and that is a matter which will go down to history as one of the prools that there was matter that was local that was unnecessarily taken up by them. A great national counci! was convoked, and that which was at that time local was APTERWARD MADE NATIONAL by their action, and not by ours, And now that it is necessary, now that we are ussailed from the other side, we call a council that it may determine whether or bot we are wrong and give us advice. They bav- ing thus called @ council, having thus taken up that which was local’ and spread it out abroad, world wide, and when we now ask for a council to reinstate durseives in fellowship, or rather in the good will of other churches, they decline, be- cause, they say, it contradicts our former language. Here is a charge against tho action of the church and its committee in 1874, What were the facts in regard to that? It bas been trumpeted world wide abroad by our enemies that that committee was ap- pointed by me, selected by me. It was not selected by me, ‘The names were nominated by me, but the chureb elected them and confirmed them,’ I nomi- nated them because I had in my mind a certain reason, It naturally would fall out that the Examming Committee would have been the body | to make an investigation into any made against apy member of the church, and I am amember of the church, subject to its dis- cipline as much as the humbiest person in it Bus the Examining Committee itself had passed through no inconsiderable excitement as to the policy of the church in the case antecedently, Tho Examining Com- mittee themselves being undivided in opinion, it did not seem as though it would be right for them’ to act in this cage, because it might look as though they had acted in accordance with my views—might look as though it was a family business. There is one other point which I shall notice in this letter, and that is the hints and insinuations which he makes respecting the investigation of the pastor’s char- acter by the committee that was appointed in 1874:— “You had, with the boldness of innocence and truth, courted inquiry, white Plymouth church from the be- ginning has sought to evade and cover up, and has again succeeded in evading, though not in covering up.” Mr. Boecher went on in detail to reply to the letter of Mr. Van Cott, and 1n referring to him personally said this plumed knight on a milk-white palfrey went nding forth to right the church: riding with Mrs, Woodhull to right the social economy to-day, and riding the milk-white steed to right the churches to-morrow; going forth on a new series to right the walls of Zion— to fortily our altars and establish our worship. THE ADVISORY COUNGIL. After the prayer meeting in Plymouth church last evening the Special Committee of Seven, appointed to arrange the preliminaries of the proposed Aavisory Council, met in the trustees’ room. They consulted at length as to the method to be adopted in calling the council and the date of the meeting of that body. It was the original intention of the committee to oven the | sessions of the council on the 8th of February, and charges | an announcement was made to that effect; but at the meeting last night a majority of the | members of the committeo expressed the belief that the date fixed upon was too soon to allow the churches which are to be invited to decide whether or not they would send delegates For these reasons the committee agreed to postpone the time of meet- ing ee the 8th of February to tho lith dcy of that mon THE BOWEN CASE. Mr. Tilney, the clerk of Plymonth church, has nearly completed bis record of Mr, White's statement of his grievances against Henry C. Bowen, and the statement will be given to that gentleman to-day, Mr. Bowon will thon prepare his reply. THE COLLAPSED COUNCIL MR. BEECHER CORRECTS SOME MISAPPREHEN- SIONS—PLYMOUTH CHURCH STILL DESIROUS FOR A MUTUAL COUNCIL. Bosrox, Jan. 21, 1876, ‘The following is Henry Ward Beecher’s letter to the Boston Journal:— Brooxtyy, Jan, 20, 1876. To tHe Evrrors or tx Bostox JouRNAL:— Allow me to correct some misapprebensions which exist in regard to the mutual council to have been held by Plymouth church in the case of Mrs, Moulton, The statements inthe newspapers generally have been imperfect and incorrect, First—Mrs. Moulton withdrew her request for a mutual counci! against the wishes and urgent influences of the commities of Piymouth church. She had by her lawyer, Judge Van Cott, a member of Dr. Storrs’ church, agreed to the time and the place of meoting. The committee of the church bad framed the letter missive in her own languake, and the church desired and expected the mutual council to proceed. It is still willing to call it Second—It is not true that Mrs. Moulton was obliged to withdraw because Plymouth church would not agree to the churches which she desired. On the contrary, the committee did accept every name which Judge Van Cott, in her bebalf, mentioned. Not only did the com- mittee agree to call the churches and ministers men- tioned by her, but it stated this fact in writing, which was before her when she threw up the council Third—On what ground then did Mrs. Moulton break up the conference? On thi ie and single ground that the committee of Plymouth church had pointed out and respectfully asked for her to consider the impropriety of asking the two Brooklyn churches named to sit in a mutual council by reason of their known and public antagonism to Plymouth church. These were the churches which had institated a long Tespondence with Plymouth church in of no very friendly character, which had called a great natioval council in 1874 to discuss the ailairs of Plymouth (this church be ng expressly ex- cor- 1873, his is the toundation of | cluded), and subsequent events have not decreased the his charge of coarseness. Now, I appeal to you, and I | ry woinan to read | sense of their unfriendliness, The committee did not refuse to call these churches, It expressly declared its willingness to call them if Mre. Moulton still wished it atter hearing the reasons which the committee sug- gested to her why they should not be called, as will ap- pear from their letior of January 10, from which 1 ex- tract:— Secomd—Your right to name one-half the counefl Is not disputed, and we simply ealled your attention to con- siderations which to ws to require retlection ou your part and on the pari of the cuurebes referred to. Woe repeat what we said in the first instance, that we do not for a mc t think of withdrawing from the mutual council in case disregard our suggestions, On the day that Mra Moulton withdrew she had this letter from "ine clerk of Plymouth church before her eyes:— “Joux Vax Cort, Esq. :— “Deak Stn—Toe committee of Plymouth chareh de- sire me to inform you that they cannot change their position in the matter of the protest They are Mn § y “Brooxiyy, Jan 12, 1876. | at once to sign and issue the letter missive, either wit or without ee Ronny suggeaied respecting the hurches to be cal 5 cere! ae THOMAS J. TILNEY.” Plymouth church desired the mutual council, was willing to call any chureh named, but allowed herseit the liberty during the preliminary conferences of sug- gesting objections to two of the churches nominated, expressly stating that such objection did not exclude them. No perversion of truth can be greater than to allege that Plymouth charch prevented the mutual council. It is believed that the protest of the Plym- outh charch committee opened the eyes of Mra Mouiton’s advisers to the glaring impropriety of calling the Church of the Ptigrims and Clinton avenue church, d that Mrs Moulton did wot care to have a muti Council if these two churches were not to be in it. HENRY WARD BEECHER, A DRINKING MAN'S BURDEN. The temperance question in one of its phases was lectured on in the parlors ot the Young Men's Chris- tian Association last evening by Dr. Elisha Harris, Dr, Harris said that an experiment made daily fer eight days upon a soldier in good health showed that ‘the force of the beart’s action every twenty-four hours represented a power suflicient to raise a weight of 122 tons one foot from the ground, After giv- ing the man graduated quantities of the alcoholic was fo d on the expiration a eight da: equal to tl quently by adding brandy liberally om the last day of some additional experiments it was found that tho ac- ton of the heart was still further increased to equal an increased force capable of lifting daily twenty-four tous more. This experiment showed that the dram-drink- ing man takes upon himscif @ wearying burden, which is equal to so much additional exertion, besides causing & dangerous montal excitability. The only sa¥ rule in the use of strong drink was frst to obtain a medical judgment, Drs Willard Parker and H. ©.

ORGANIZATION OF THE ASSEMBLY STRIKERS ALBANY, Jan, 21, 1876. Both houses adjourned to-day until Monday evening at half-past seven o'clock, after transacting a small amount of business. In the Senate Mr. Prince had bis inquiry of the day before addressed to the Committee on Rules, as to the utility of several of the standing committees, promptly answered, to the effect that none had become useless or obsolete by reason of the change in legislation produced by the passage of the constitu- tional amendments. Mr. Prince has not yet quite re- covered from the slight put upon him by the framers of the committee list who left bim in their reckonings out in the cold. The words of Woodin were anything but a balm to his wounded spirit, when he said yester. day that he would rather increase the number of com- mittees so that every Senator might be smade a chair” man and all heartburmings and nervous uneasiness be avoided, THE COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, To place Judge Gildersleeve’s Court in proper work. ing order a bill was introduced by Senator Bixby au- thorizing the Board of Apportionment to set aside an appropriation to pay the sularies of the necessary offl- cers attached to the Court of General Sessions, STRIKING AT TAMMANY, A clumsy roundabout biil, said to be aimed at the extinction of Tammany Hall und emanating from the combined wisdom of the Union League Club, was in- troduced to-day by Senator Woodin, The simple ab. rogation of the Tammany Society charter on the grounds of violating the terms of its incorporation was heretofore contemplated in @ bill Senator Bixby in- tended to introduce, and had for its object the rendering impossible of any one man power in the organization. The present Dill strikes out wildly and cuts both ways. It forbids under penalty any chartered society nominating any person to any office or designating any delegate to any political con- vention, In an indirect way the Union League and the Manhattan clubs nominate candidates for office and de- signate delegates to conventions. The Dill also forbids ‘the removal of any person from any office, the securing or distributing of any political patronage and the im- posing of assessments for political purposes on any Officer, clerk, or eraployé of the city, State or national government, In its present shape ‘the bill is too vague to accomplish the object in view. Members of the Tammany General Committee who are not members of the Tammany Society may do all the things prohibited in the bill and be liable to no legai penalties, If the members of the society should violate the proposed law they simply in- cur a tine and the charter remains intact. | Any judge of the Supreme Court shall have power to grant in- junctions to restrain the violation of this act, but how ‘shall the Judge discriminate between what is done by members of the Tammany General Committee and tho Son of the Columbian Order? It is quite possible to so amend the bill as to accomplish, without peril of fail- ure, the obvious purpose in the minds of its framers. For the violation of the provistons of the bill it should be provided that the society forfeits its charter, JACOBS’ SHAT IN THE SENATE. The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections entered an order that Colonel James Cavanagh be re- quired to make bis specifications of his claim to the seat of Senator Jacobs more definite in every case, except- ing the Second district of the Twelfth ward, Brooklyn. If be fails to comply with this order the commitiee will not proceed.with the investigation, RAILROAD MORTGAGES, Mr. Tobey’s bill provides that the Commissioners of any municipal corporation, appointed pursuant to the provisions of chapter 907 of the laws of 1869 and acts mendatory theroof, may agree with any railroad corporation holding any bonds of gaid municipal corporation for the bonds or stock of said railroad | corporation, and upon such terms as shall be agreed upon by said Commissioners and gaid railroad corpora- tion, and said persons ana company muy agree that any lesser amount of said bonds of sai exchanged, THE BRA OF INVESTIGATION. The Assembly this year, even if it results in no bene- fit to the people, is certainly bent on distinguishing itself in the matter of investigations. The Committee on State Prisons have already been authorized to in- 4 ate the condition of the State prisons and to-da: yn introduced a resolution ordering the Rath na Committee to investigate alleged irregularities in the management of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company on the part of the directors and the Execa- tive Committee. Tho resolution was laid over under the rules, but will be called up on Monday, THE CIVIL COURTS. Tho Dill introduced to-day, by Mr. A. J, Campbell, reduces the Civil District Courts in New York from ten to six, those retained being numbered the first, second, third, fourth, fitth and sixth The First dis- trict is to comprise the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth ana Fourteenth wards, The Second is 10 be composed of the Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Thir- corporation may be | teenth and Seventeenth wards; the Third of the Eighth, Ninth, Fifieenth, Sixteemth and Twentieth; the Fourth of the the Kighteonth, Nineteenth, Twenty: first and Twenty-second; the Fifth of the Twelfth ward; the Sixth, of the Twenty- third and Twenty- fourth wards, In each of the districts two justices are to hold court, with the exception of the Fifth and Sixth, where there ig but one. The offices of deputy clerks, sten- ographers, attendants and janitors are abolished by the bill, and the interpreter is to perform ali the duties of deputy clerk, attendant and janitor. The salary of the Justices atid clerks is to be $5,000 a year, WOMAN SUFFRAGE, The women’s suffrage people were greatly disap- pointed to-day, a8 the Judiciary Committee asked leave to be discharged from further consideration of the petition presented to them and to have it referred to the Committee oa Grievances, The whole subject was finally laid on the table. OYSTER INSPECTION, Mr. Carty’s oyster bill provides for the appointment by the County Clerk of New York of two inspectors of pe neg | and divides the city into two districts, all west of Broadway being one district, and all east of ‘Broadway the other district, When not soid by actual count, oysters must be measured in wooden tubs hold- ing one bushel each, The inspectors are to hold office for two years, THE SAUT ‘ge The Bergh bill was attacked again to-day by the black horse cavairy, who have not yet been fixed by the city railroad companies who do not want the salt section passed so that it will interfere with them im the winter, Strahan cut the wind out of their sails the day previous by his amendment giving companies the right to sprinkle salt on crossings as well as in the curves and switches, and so to-day the black horse, after a determined fey Ho the bill recommitted to the Committee of the ole, If they find that the com- panies will agree to their terms with the amendments as they stand the bill will be passed without trouble, but if the companies won’t come down with the dust unless the bill is killed altogether, it will be killed ac- cordingly. This was made evident to-day by the action of some members who are suspected of being among the cavalry, Mr. Schieffelin created quite a laugh dur- ing the debate by asking acertain member who asked for more time to look tnto the merits and demerits of the bill, if he would be wiiling to vote for it ifthe frst section relative to the throwing of nails and glass in the streets were stricken out. There are only two sec- | tions in the bill, and if the first section were cut out the | only feature left .in the bill would be the conditional rohibiion against sprinkling salt in the streets, ‘he member after some hesitation said he wasn’t propared to vote on the bill as yet It should not be taken for granted, however, that all | those who voted to recommit the bill to the Committee of the Whole were ated by bad motives; for, hap- puly as yet, at least, the black borse men are compara- tively few. Many voted to recommit to show their disapproval of Mr. Strahan, who, after berating rather soundly the member who was the most active in advo- cating the motion to recommit, moved the previous question, which, if carried, would have cut off anybody who wanted to from replying to him. In order that the bill in its present shape may be thoroughly under- stood, I herewith append it in fall, the amendments that have been made to it berng in italics :— AN Act to prevent injary to animals in the city of New York. ‘The people of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact ns follows oe Ssorion 1.—Every person wilfully shall throw, ex- pose, or piace, or who shail cause, or procure to be thrown, exposed or plsced, in of upon any street, I public piace in the clty of New York, open fo go, of ant tals, any nails, pieoos of moval. gl stance thing which might wound, layne, cut or orberwiss any avin seth, howeve not wilful or malich tity of & misdemeanor; pro- itis shail ‘appear that any euch ect wes us, pagent thereof shail be limited to a fine not exceedi poy oy (PER or place or who shall eause or procare to be thrown, exposed oF in or ‘upon any such street, highway oF ple place. eae tipon the curves, crossings or meiiches of ratieay tracks, Om sit ealtpetre of other substance for the purpose of dlseoty- ing kay show or ice whieh may Lave fallen of beon deposited esees, shall be guilty of isdem ‘This act shall take effect ad, oe w/ier tn poseage. the expiration af ten THE GREY NUNS The Assembly passed this afternoon tho act repeal the Grey Nan act of 1875, about which there has been so much talk.

YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS AT THE TRIAL— TESTIMONY OF THE DEFENCE 48 TO THE IN- SANITY OF LANDIS—MORE HABITUAL ECCEN- TRICITIES—HEBBDITARY INSANITY DESCRIBED. Burvoerox, N. J., Jan. 21, 1876. ‘The trial of Landis was resumed this morning ina crowded court, The defence have not yet closed, but there are indications that the end is not far off, The evidence was entirely directed to the question of the insanity of the prisoner. Captain William Gill related instances of Landis’ crazy conduct in Wilmington and Washington, . T. Cortis, the Deputy Sheriff who arrested Landis, fol- lowed in the same strain. As the testimony of Professor Marcius Willson created something of a sensation the substance of it is here given:— Protessor Mareius Willson, sworn :—I saw the prisoner after the shooting in the office of Mr. William A. House, one of his counsel; it was after ton o'clock that morning; he took my hand eagerly and thanked me for calling to see him in the midst of his troubles; his emotion was extreme; Mra. Landis threw her arms about him and said,’ “Don’t, Charley, don’t; he showed me a piece of paper which had’ been clipped from the /ndependené (Carrutn’s paper) and said, “My wife gave me that this morning and Teproached me as being the cause of its being written, when | had noht- img to do with it; I havo that piece of paper with me, (Paper produced, read and offered in evidence. It bas been already published. ) APTER RECESS. Marcus Lavnius and James Dixon were examined, Both testified as to seeing Landis immediately after the shooting. Dixon said be did not know that he was a member of the society known in Vineland as **Friends of Progress,’ but did know that Landis was not and never had been a member. James L. Wiison, ex-Sherif, testified:—When Landis ‘was brougnt to jail in Bridgeton I thought he was cool and collected, but when Mrs, Landis left him he was wild and excited; he wanted me to get a rope and hang him at once. John Felgin was turnkey of the jail when Landis was brought there, and searched him before locking him up. Witness detailed many crazy ideas about rats, snakes, salt hay, seed and mice that Landis talked about Professor Washington J. Duffee was recalled by the defence:—I met Mr. Landis and Colonel Pearson at Cape May, and introduced them to a young man whose foot I had amputated; Landis acted so strangely and seemed so indifferent to the con7zersation about the case that I looked more intently at him; I opened window and let in the light; he was facing the window; T observed that there was a great dilation of the pupil of bis eyes and a wild glare in them that indicated to me then that something was wrong with his brain: this was in August, 1873. James Sawyer, sworn:—I went to Mr. Landis’ house with Dr. Ingraham to persuade bim not to attend a certain meeting which had been called in Vineland; he declared he would go, that the interests of Vineland were at stake; 1 thought he was very unreasonable and inconsiderate in not complying with our request; my memory will not permit me to say what Landis said about Carruth; I do not recollect wnat he said, Cross-examined by Attorney General Vanatta:—Had Landis made threats against Carrath I should have felt ‘my duty to have called the attention of the police to em, John L. Burk, recalled by the defence:—I went with Dr. Ingram and Mr. Sawyer to Mr, Landis’ house; was present and heard their conversation; Dr, Ingram was the spokesman; he advised Mr. Landis not to go to that meeting, ‘as he was afraid there might ve violence; Landis replied that there were b inter- ests at stake, that the rights of the settlers on the Vineland tract must be protected, that he would go, and if any méiée occurred he (Landis) would be the first victim. Cross-examined by the Attorney Genoral:—Do not recall what Mr. Sawyer said, beyond his expressing his fear that the eet! would result in violence, Dr. Isaac Ray, sworn:—Have lived in Philadelphia for eight years; Vice: bao apaatonl ‘superintendent of an insane hospital for twenty-five years; was superin- tendent four years in Maine and twenty years in Rhode Island; have been consulting physician in Philadelphia; {have studiea and written upon’ the question of insan- ity; in the majority of instances insanity 18 hereditary in its transmission; it pot unirequently skips over one generation and appears im vhe next; this is my expe- rience; this taint manifests itseif in some cases by ir- regularities of conduct, extravagances of opinion and eccentricities; in other cases it does not show itself atall; it seldom shows itselt in successive generatior a form of insanity in the father, manifested by melan- choly, may be exhibited in bis’ successor by ferocity; it may break out suddenly without much premonition; it 1s undoubtedly the case that it may develop itself in his conduct to his family and casual acquaintances; it shows itself at times in his mode of conversation and style of doing business; it does this where it does not develop itseli as raving’ mania; the insane often go into violent acts without reasonable motives; if struck they are apt to strike back; I have heard all the evi- dence in this case.
