Samcel Wilkesox, formerly of the New
York Tribune, and at present one of the pub
lishers of the Christian Union, and the Rev.
Edward Eggleston were the witnesses in the
Beecher trial on the 12th. The former testi
fied that he drew up a copy of the tripartite
agreement, and that Mr. Tilton's complaint
against Mr. Beecher at that time "was that
he (Beecher) refused to help him when he
was in need of aid because of his discharge
by Bowen. Witness 6aid Mr. Tilton subse
quently denied the greater crime charged
against Mr. Beecher, saying all he accused
defendant of was improper proposals. On the
cross-examination witness stated that in
April, 1S72, he had told Mr. T. that Mrs. Stan
ton had asserted that Mr. Beecher had com
mitted the crime with which he is charged,
and that Miss Anthony had told him that Mrs.
T. had confessed the same to her. To this
Mr. Tilton said Miss Anthony's mind was
always dwelling on morbid subjects. Mr.
Eggleston's testimony was to the effect that
he had been at Mr. Tilton's house on one oc
casion when the latter's attentions to a cer
tain lady were the subject of remark.

Tde Secretary of State has communicated
to the United States Senate the corre
spondence between the United States and
Spanish Governments relative to the
claim for indemnity for the execution at
Santiago de Cuba of Americans who were on
board the Virginius. This correspondence
6hows that the British claim was originally
500 for each white and 300 for each colored
man, being a total of 7,700, which was
finally reduced to .0,700. The original
claim of the United States was $2,500
for each of the crew slain, regardless
of color, and a larger sum for each officer
killed. The claim was strenuously pressed
until Spain agreed to pay SO,000 in gold, un
conditionally, the money to be distributed by
the United States without any accountability
to Spain for sums not claimed by individuals,
as was stipulated in the case of Great Britain.
It is reported that Gen. Sherman had

In the Beecher suit, on the 15th, John nar
mon, Archibald Black and Jackson S. Schultz
testified, and the deposition of J. II. Drake,
now in Europe, was read. The two former
testified to the effect that the original charge
against Mr. Beecher, as told them by Mr.
Tilton, was that of improper proposals. The
evidence of the two latter went to show that
Mr. Moultou had denied that Mr. Beecher
had violated the seventh commandment, and
that he (Moulton) had asserted on more
than one occasion that Mr. Beecher
was a pure man. Several witnesses
were examined on the 10th, who also testified
that Mr. Moulton had denied to them the
truth of the charges against the defendant.
Mr. Beach said it was not necessary to call
so many witnesses, as Mr. Moulton did not
deny having used the alleged expressions,
and Judge Nei'son suggested that Mr. Shear
n.an should limit his witnesses, which he
promised to do. Thos. M. Cook, jour
nalist, of Detroit, was sworn, and testi
fied that he had several interviews with
Mrs. 'Woodhull and Mr. Tilton prior to the
publication of the "Woodhull story, and that
Mrs. W. had, in the presence of Mr. T., urged
him to write up the Beecher scandal. On the
cross-examination witness said he had cor
responded with Mr. Shearman relating to the
trial, and had received $150 to defray the ex
pense of two trips to the city made in con
nection with the suit, and that he had been
engaged as a sensational writer for New York
papers. Samuel Y. Halliday testified that in
October, IS72, Mrs. Moulton bad stated to
him, in answer to a question, that she did not
know why her name was mentioned in con
nection with the scandal. She said Mr. Beech
er washer pastor and she believed in him.

Mr. Halliday continued his evidence in
the Beecher case on the 17tb, and said Mr.
Tilton had stated to him, in the presence of
George Bell, that the Woodhull scandal was
entirely untrue, arid that his wife was as pure
as the light. Mr. T. spoke of Beechcr's
offense as being quite venial in its char
acter. Mrs. Lucy W. Mitchell, a nurse,
who had been in attendance upon Mrs.
Tilton on different occasions, testified that
while in Mr. Tilton's household Mr. Beecher
was a frequent visitor, and she had never
seen any improprieties between him and Mrs.
T. She was Mrs. T.'s nurse at the time of
her illness, when Mr. Tilton and Mr. Moulton
were together in the house about the time
the alleged letter of confession is supposed
to have been written, and on the evening when
the letter of retraction was furnished to Mr.
Beecher, and her evidence is to the effect that
Mrs. Tilton was very weak and ill on these
occasions. Mr. Tilton had alwaj-s treated
his wife well so far as witness had observed.

tion with copies of the Golden A;e. Mr. Tay
lor says he talked with Mr. Tilton about it,
and objected to the mailing of the speech in
this manner, as it was not a supplement to
the Golder. Arf, and subsequently received a
note from Mr. T., containing 100, to defray
the extra postage, after the Postoffice
authorities had decided the speech could
not be" mailed as a supplement Mr.
Halliday continued his testimony, and
said Mr. Beecher had nothing to do with
the decision by the church Deacons in Octo
ber, 1872, that it was not expedient to take
any action on the scandal. The witness was
cross-examined at some length by Mr. Fuller
ton, relative, chiefly, to the action of Ply

moods, during which he would make himself
very disagreeable to all in the house, especial
ly his w ife, whom he would scold for hours at

Improper take place between Mr. Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton, and on his frequent visits to the
house she (Mrs. T.) treated him the same as

The Hepnblican Part j.
The Republican party is now out of
power in Congress, and the last Rcpubli
can Congress we may see for some time
has adjourned. The- Democratic party
has control of the popular branch, w hich
makes appropriations and dictates legis
lation; of a majority of the State Govern
ments, and of numerous minor county
and city offices. Its programme has al
ready been announced, namely: to assail
the Republican party through investiga
tions of alleged abuses. It was this
specious promise, with the promise to re
form everything, that induced the peo
ple to hand over the governing power to
the Democracy, both in the National
Congress and in State Legislatures.
It is the tendency of all political com
binations, after they have grown large
and powerful, and have held control of
Governments for a long time, to develop
corruptions and abuses. There has
never been a political party of any de
scription in any country, whether the
form of government has been republican
or monarchical, which is an exception to
this rule. It is the same with political
parties as with churches. Corrupt men
do not get into either and abuse their po
sitions until 'the organizations have
grown large and powerful. There is no
danger in the churches which are
poor and small. On the other hand,
the poorer and smaller they are,
the more do purity and diviae grace
abound in them. Bad men do not de
velop themselves until the churches be
come large, rich and fashionable. So
with political parties. At the outset the j
Republican party was blameless. It was
not until it swept State after State by J
large majorities, anauciu tne control 01
patronage for many years, that it at
tracted corrupt men into its organiza
tion. It was the party which saved the
country. It represented the majority of
the intelligence, the respectability, the
patriotism of the country. Its aims were
high and pure. It was the party of mo
rality and humanity. Notwithstanding
this, as stion as it "had rewards to dis
tribute and patronage to bestow it at
tracted from the other party many knaves
and rascals, men without principle, and
bent only upon schemes of plunder and
self-aggrandieement. The majority of
this class came out of the Democratic
party, and were skilled in their nefarious
practices through long experience in its
ranks while it was in power, and, now
that the Democratic party is coming in
to power, and they have no further op
portunity to plunder under Republican
cover, they will gravitate back to their
original surroundings. The Republican
party has passed through a terrible
ordeal. It has been tried in the
furnace of civil war. It has not
only had to conduct this war
and establish the relations of sub
jugated States to the National Govern
ment, and of a race emancipated Irom
the servitude of two centuries to their
masters uoon terms of civil and social
equality, but it has had to buffer from
the national demoralization anil the low
standard of public morals which aiways
result from great wars and enormous
military expenditures. That it should
have suffered during this time from the
selfish misconduct of bad and unprinci
pled men is not remarkable. During
the past two years it has neen investi
gating these abuses upon the demand of
the people, and it has done it promptly
and pretty thoroughly, although it has
had to suffer still more in consequence
thereof. Rather than conceal these
abus'S which have crept in, it has
draff L,1, them to the light, and suffered
loss o.v.wonlidence in consequence. It
has, however, the compensation of hav
ing purified its ranks, of having ostra
cized the corruptionists and of having
swept and garnished its house. What
it has failed to do is trifling as compared
with what it has done. The dark spots
in its escutcheon are small as compared
with the brightness and glory of its rec
ord. It saved the Republic, emancipated
the slave and made a freeman of him.
If it had done nothing more it would
still be entitled to the everlasting grati
tude of all lovers of humanity and liber-

The last time the Democratic party

as now appears probable. In the natural
order of events its scandals will be
greater than those which have attached
to the Republican party, because its fol
lowing embraces the great bulk of
the most ignorant and corrupt ele
ments in every community. It is a
party which has not been in
the habit of making investigations of the
conduct of its leaders and office-holders,
and it will not commence now. hen

The Elective Franchise in the Sontb.

minded man can fail to regard as conclu
sive of the soundness of our position
The Democratic Legislature of North
Carolina recently enacted one of the
most infamous laws ever placed on tiie
statute books of any Statte of the Union.
It is in the form of an amendment to the
charter of the city of Wilmington. Its
obiect is to to disfranchise the colored
vote of that municipality. The following
i3 its substance: The territory of the
city is apportioned into three political
divisions or wards. I he Jr irst Y ard con
tains twentv-six " blocks, whose as
sessed valuation is S'jO.'.SOO. It num
bers eighty colored and 220 white
voters, a total of 300 voters. The
Second Ward contains twenty-two
" blocks," whose assessed valuation is
1.179.100. It numbers sixty colored
and 1W white voters, a total of 250 votes
The Third Ward comprises the remaind
of the city territory, and contains 566
" blocks," whose assessed value is $2,
0!:j,40.1! It numbers 2,2 0 colored and
750 white voters, a total of 3,000 voters.
It is provided in the act that each of
these wards shall choose three Alder
men, constituting a Common Council of
nine members. From these figures it
appears that in the city there are 2,3S)0
colored votes and 1,1(50 wliite votes two.
black to one white. The only legitimate
way in which the white voters of Wil
mington ctin exercise more than a m'l
noritv influence in the government of
the city is to conduct themselves so a
to induce colored voters to unite with
their white party organization ; provided
such an organization exists. The colored
voters, if they choose to vote unitedly,
arc entitled to shape the policy and con
trol the affairs of the city. They arc
men and citizens possessing, under the
Constitution of the United States,
all the rights enjoyed by white
men and citizens. Now how does
the act of the North Carolina Legislature
sfl'ect the colored voters of Wilmington?
It completely nullifies their iolitical in
fluence, as absolutely, indeed, as if it de
prived them of the right to vote. It
gives to 1,100 white voters six Aldermen
and prohibits 2,.Ji)0 colored voters from
choosing more than thre Aldermen! In
other words, it gives to every white voter
an influence equal to that of four colored
votersl A more monstrous political
iniquity was never jicrpctratcd in the
name and under the sanction of free
government! The act is no more just
from a property point of view. The
property of the Third Ward, which con
tains more than ten times as much terri
tory as the First and Second Wards com
bined, is assessed at $2,01)3,405, while the
aggregate assessed value of property in
the First and Second Wards is only $2,
081,ir0. Thus the property in the First
and Second Wards has twice the alder
men representation of that in the Third.
Disregarding the color line, and con
sidering only the question of the fran
chise, wc find that the act of gerrj-man-der
gives to a little over one-sixth, double
the representation accorded to the
other five-sixths of .the voters. If the
monstrous enormity is sustained by the
courts and permitted to go unchallenged
by the public opinion of the country,
every colored voter in the South may
and will be disfranchised to all intents
and purposes as completely as if the race
still remained in slavery. But this is
not all of the act. It defeats the will of
the people in the choice of a Mayor as
effectually as in the election of Council
men. It takes the election of Mayor out
of the hands of the people and confides
it to a council chosen by one-sixth of the
people. Sec. 0 provides that
At the first meeting of each and every Board
of Aldermen elected under the provision of
this net, they bliall proceed to select one of
their own number to discharge the duties
tifiw prescribed by lw for the Mayor of said
city during the term of ollice of said Board of
Aldermen.
Sec. 8 names Registrars to perfect
a registry of voters and Sec. 11 re
quires that every voter proposing to reg
ister "r-hall be required to rove to the sat
ifietioi if the Registrar the fart of his
being of bnrful age to vote, the fact of his
residence for twelve months in the State
and fr ninety days next preceding the
election in the lot, in Ihe block and in
the ward in which he claims to reside."
Thus it will be seen that the right of ev
ery legal voter in the city of Wilmington
rests solely in the discretion of the sev-
cral Registrars named in the act. Sec.
1 names the Inspectors of Uection
and Sec. 17 provides that there
after both Registrars and Inspectors
shall be appointed by the Board of Alder
men. It will be eeen that, by an
act of the Democratic Legislature of
North Carolina, the supreme control of
the government of the city of Wilming-
tm is placed in tne hands of one-sixth of
its legal voters; and by the same act it is
to contrived that no power can wrest it
from such control bo long as the Demo
cratic party dominates the State.
We insist that the whole course
of events at the South points to the con
clusion that Southern Democrats propose
to nullify the amended Constitution; that
the National Democratic party is Eecretly
pledged to support the treacherous pur
poses of its Southern w ing, and that to
surrender the control of the General
Government to the hands of the Demo
cratic party is to abandon to the care of
traitors the Union which was preserved
only at the cost of oceans of blood and
millions of treasure. Jruer-ucean.
Independent Reform at!onal
riatform.
The platform adopted by the National
Convention recently in Eession at Cleve
land, Ohio, is as follows:
Our Government is lomided solely upon the
consent of the people, and its powers are subject
to their control. 1 ho evils we now live under
have re-ulled from the acts of unfaithful repre
sentatives, who have set the interests 01 pariy
above those of the people. These evils are chiefly
displnvcd in our monetary system and thu
monopolies which it Ims engendered; this
svftem being monarchical in 11s princi
ples and subversive of republican government;
and as experience demonstrates that we can have
no hone 01 relorm irom exisin,g poiiueni pome,
it becomes our imperative duty to organize anew
party, to the end that we may resist the encroach
ments of the monev power upon thu rights of the
people, stay the tide of corruption and extrava

control ot the resources aud linance of the coun

end the notes of all National and Hate hanks

2. This system of finance will, by stimulating
our industries and commerce, soon make thu
United States the depository of the precious
metals of the world.
3. The adoption of this svstem, by furnishing
sufficient money at low interest, will solve the
question of cheap transportation, because it will
enable railroads and the can-vine trade to relieve
themselves of their loads of debt and lower their
rates, and enable the people to construct addi

try claim their Just recognition at the hand of the
Government of the people, and through the mon

can be "fully secured. ...
6 As the public domain is the nghtfal heritage
of the people, it should not he distributed to
