The Democratic Mayor of Cincinnati ordered the police of that cily to be early at the polls yeslerday, not for any official purpose, but to "look out for the tickets." TUu was in direct violation of an ordinance forbidding any policeman to "distribute ballots on election day, or in any way seek to influence any elector's vote." But then laws and ordinances do not go for much when they stand in the way of a Democratic partisan programme. "Title I Not the Jew'. Count rj." To th. Editor of the Ohio State Journal i From the straws that have been set flying by the breath of the recent Convention, it ia not hard to define which way the Christian gale is blowing. When neb sentiments aa the above fail from the lips of any body of citizens whose avowed object is to take measures for a change in our Conntitulion, and especially when that body wield such a great influence over the manses as the one under consideration, it is high time that all loy-era of freedom were rousing trom their uetbargv, and girding on their armor in delcnse'of religious ireedom in ouriuidat. "This is not the Jew's country"! By what law of the land may Bucli an utter ance be made to bear the xemblance of truth?

This same body of ministers seek to eject from his seat in Congress and shut up in prison one Can-aioa, because forsooth he follows to a limited extent the example of David, Israel's (great king the man after their own God's own heart.

The In dependent acraicocrs neiu mgn carnival, and the tfepublicut llcaet especially was terribly mutilated. Some injudicious nomiuaiiona of the Republicans brought about this result. It is claimed that Gass, Republican, for Mayor, is elected. He was largely supported by Democrats and boldly scratched by Republicans. His election cannot be claimed aa a party success. To th.

He Taken Sqnire Issue with Tiltoa aud loulton, ' ' Denying in Detail Their Sworn Declarationi, Ab4 Giving to I'srly Fuel an Innocent Conslracliou. The) Great Preacher'! Dramatic Pow r at a Witness. Irrepressible Feeling; Manifests! by - (he Audience. Unflagging Publie Interest la Trial. the New Yobk. April 8 The largest crowd which baa yet attended the lilton Beecher trial gathered at the Brooklyn Court room this morning. Immediately after the opening of court Judge Neilson admonished the audience against any farther demonstrations of applause, and Mr. beecher resumed the witness stand and, being handed e paper, said that at the interview with Moulton tn bis I Ueech er'a) aludy. when this paper was drawn up, he believed Moultou a story with re gard to liiton'e innocence was true, and was glad to believe it. the witness was asked if that paper was bis, and he an swered that In no dense ol tne word waa it his oomposition, nor did he dictate it. The witness's atlention being called to the clause. "I ask. thmugli you, Theodore Tilton'e forgiveness," etc., he said 1 did not express those words or their equivalent that night. 1 did sav that in view of the atatements I had made I felt I had wronged him, and had hum bled myself before God and was willing to humble myself before Theodore 111 ton. In that conversation I repelled the idea thai'I was acting consciously. The words "I wish that I were dead," etc., are not my phraseology and did not express my leeling ol sorrow, t was not in a logical mood, and am afraid I mixed my metaphors. I did not use the phrase, "I will die before any one but myself shall be inculpated. " I did not cxnress my self strongly that I would sooner die than have caused such trouble. This waa a strong feeling of remorse at the mischief which seemed to have been committed by me. Very likely I ex pressed the phrase about "the poor child lying there with closed hands, in sul stance, but not in that form, I saw her who had been a dear child and friend of mine lying there like one dead. Very likely I used the words "she is guiltless. and bote the ains of another." I had been intimate in her household for many years, and if I had been the cause of her distress I took the blame (Q myself, and did so until the year 1874. The words, "Her forgiveness I have, and I humbly pray uod mat ne may put it into the heart of her husband to forgive me," is is not my dictation. I may have said that 1 had done JSiimueth incalculable wrong. but not that she had forgiven me, and that I was awaiting her husband's for giveness. Mr. Moulton tried to im press on me that lilton was impressed with the neitei mat i was an enemy to him, and if he could only hear my sentiments he would change that opinion. In my interview with lilton on the 30th of December, do not recollect making nny reference to ijinte s Inferno. During that interview he did not AOCUIE ME OF ADULTERY with his wife, nor intimate to me that his wife had accused me to him of adultery. There was no such question, topic, or allusion made in any manner whatever, There was nothing but a memorandum read about improper solicitation. There was no allusion to arguments by which I had triumphed over her dustily. On the second of January, 1871, according to custom, my house was jopen to receive calls from ten until seven, ( can not recall such a day, hut only remember the customs of these days. According to my knowledge and belief I received about eight hundied callers on that day. 1 bave only a most shadowy impression that Tilton called on me. There could have been no conference of any kind. There was none. I did not go up stairB or into my study with Moulion on that day, nor was there any conversation with Moulton about me propriety ol the sale of pews in Plymouth Church; that he- .L- . . Tl I. II.. longea to ll iruainM. f lie sale imuBiiy takes place on the first Tuesday after he first Sunday in the month of January. there was no conversation with him about a letter Tilton was writing or about to write to Bowen. On the 3d of January, or thereabouts, there was an interview with Moulton and myself at Moulton's house, in his chamber. He waa in bed, I think, from ei&kr ness, though he was sometimes in bed from late hours. 1 never saw htm too ill o receive nailers. While I was there Tilton came in. I bad not had any intercourse with him since the 60th of Decem ber. There was no salutation between us, Moulton began by referring toa conver sation between him and me, and was proceeding to tell Tilton something I said to him, when I struck in. 1 bad been tell ing Moulton of Tilton, and of his herd position and circumstances. It was not a prolonged conversation, but something of that character. Afier Moulton told him this I turned to Tilton and told him how Borry I was at being connected in any way with nis niiaiorinnes ne nao sunerea irom Bowen, but also of the unhappinegs which was in his house. 1 said I would do all in my power to help him. Moulton said this was an apology which any gentleman could accept. He said : "Theodore, you ought to accent this apology when he expresses regret for the past and promises to help in the future." Tiiton then accepted the apology. We shook hands and Tilton withdrew. 1 do not tninK mere was any talk of chaises made by Mrs. Tilton on this occasion. There was no such thing said by ajoulon when Tilton came in as "Me has done en that a iuf) could do except to make a public statement of the facts." or anything to that effect. There was not a word said to me by Tilton about how could he be expected to forgive a man who had ruined his home end fami ly. . I did nqt say I would bow my bead and go out of p'ublio life, or ask whether it would be better to self Plymouth Church. I made no statement o.u.c.t... WITH BEOARD TO SUICIDE, or going on f voyage. There was nothing said at that infervlkW abot Tj'ton desiring to give publicity to the matter. There was nothing said about informing my wife, or that she would become my enemy, or that to refrain from telling her would be an additional favor, I said on that npcasion my feeling was not for myself, but for Elisabeth, and that my age and experience ought to bare led Wi Jo avoid this. I did not say that the relationship between myself and Elisabeth aas not always marked hy sexual inter course, ft is cdjously false; did not say how could I offer'ahy 'mitigation for my self, that my sexual intercourse' bad been for love sad aot for lust. Bach questioes were not put at that time. 1 may nave bad conversations about my reading to her, but not at that inter view, 1 never aaid oa that occasion that I souiht companionship in Elisabeth. I do aot remember asking lilton before be went away if ke could reinstate ivliaabeth in his attecliona. 1 did not use the exnreeaion about a man sitting on the brink, nor ray that I waa like a man sitting on the edge of bell, may have told him I had written a letter to Bowen taking back a great deal I had aaid about.l illoo. sometime in february before I bad a talk with Moulton about Tilton'e businesa, about how to reinstate him end build up hie household. Io one interview with Moulton end myself I think Tilton wu present when we talked about iiowen'a treachery toward lilton and me. This waa about January 10. 1 think. I fix all dales by memoranda of my lectures. Mr. Moulton aaid at some one of the interviews about that time that Bowen raid I had confessed adultery to him. J laughed and denied it. If i confessed adul tery to Bowen I think I should remember it. Moulion spoke ol tilton'e reinstatement as inevitable, and aaid he was bound to see it. He expressed it with such vehemence and determination that I thonghl he would succeed. Moulton did not ray he would not carry liltou i case Into the courts if he thought it would rip up the relations between tilton and myself He did not say he would rather pay Til ton himself than do so. Moulton anoke with the utmost confidence of compelling bowen to disgorge, tie said Bowen wanted to arbitrate, but Tilton did not, neither did he (Moulton) as his adviser. 1 think at this Interview Moul ton said he would bring Bowen to his marrow bines, that he would bring him into suoh a position that he -would do justice of himself without having any arnitration. t naa no interview with Moulton at his house in the parlor the day after his interview with Bowen. He said he had seen Bowen at his (Moul ton's) house, and that a long and full conversation, which he described, had passed between them, where be sat, how he looked and wbat he said. He detailed to me with some particulari ty the statement he made to Bowen of his treatment of Tilton and the infamy of his conduct in the matter of his letter to me. He rehearsed to him. the different stories he had roude about me, aaid to him that be never told these stories to my face, and that at the interview at freeland s he went over the ground with Beecher and discoursed with him how they would heel their difference, how they went to Plymouth Church and prayed to gether, that he shook the paper in Bow-en'a face, who was PALE AS A GHOST, and that he (Bowen) looked up at my portrait on the wall and aaid, "How should he ever be able to face tjiat roan again." Uowen said he was willing to do anything, and I asked-Moulton why he did not cause a settlement then, and he said because the time had rol come. The witness, while delivering the nar ration of this interview, rose in his chair, and with flushed cheeks and Btanding at the edge of the platform, Bhook a paper he held in his hand as he related that part of the interview where Moulton shook the paper in Jjowen's face, the words Heeled the people in theoourt room, but a rap of the gavel by the judge reminded them that they could not manifest their approbation by applause. A recess was then taken. After recess the examination of Beecher was resumed as follows : Nothiog was said hy Moulton at that interview aa to whether Tilton could work on the Christian Union, lie spoke of wba.a grand thing it would be it T Iton and 1 tuould join turces on the Christian Union. My n-ply was that that was an absolute inipjs iliility. The cir cumstances surrounding that paper, with the feelings of the pert ins eU2"g don it would not hermit bucu an association. O Mr. Tilton has suoken of an occasion on which you kissed him ou the forehead, Uoyou reraemheranythingaboutthatf A. Yes, sir. He is right within about four inches.

During January Hessie I urner was spoken or and her stones were spoken of, but with reference to her removal on account of her knowledge of my relation to Mrs. Tilton, there was no such knowledge in any way brought to me. Q. Did Moulton say anything of this kiifd to vou; .uf bought she was better out of the way than hew,'' and did you reply, "I thought so, too?" A.

' Toward the end of January I receiver) a letter trui Mrs. Morse, which I gave to Moulton. Handed a letter by Evnrll. I remember this lelttr. I took It to Mr. Moulton. 1 presume he read It, and he kept it. We had a conversation about it. He read it in my presence and before me. I asked kirn how it ought to be treated, and he an swered that" he thouiiht it outfit to be treated kindly. Ha said Mrs. Morse was crasv and hated Tilton, that she magnified stories that were not true, and that Bhe loved her daughter. Jt was assumed that this letter was to b treated as a hallucination of Mrs. Horse'i The charges 1. regard le Tiltoa wen to be denied, as luey were not true. 1 wrote letter io answer to Mrs. Morse In Moulton pretence.

Was there any eouversation of that kind between you ana lilton I A, no sir, no sir. Q. Was there anything siid to you by Tilton of this nature, tbat Mrs 'Morsewas propsgatiug a statement in this way, viz , that she was saving among her family and relatives that fheodore made such and such charges against Elizabeth, and that her me'h-od ot oenouncing Tilton for making tuch charges was a very tatal way of propagating the charges themselves? A. 1 dout remember any such eonversation. Think it is impossible for such a statement to be remembered had it ever been made, but 1 do not think that the substance that I Beem toca'h- el oat from that question came into the con versation between us. Various and diverse were the conversations iu respect to the animosity that Mrs. Morse h,ad agujnBt him, and there may hare fallen out incidental one thing or another baring upju it, bat it was Scattered up and down in convention in such a way that it has escaped my mind so tftat c-pupt te aehmfely. 0. Whatever may oa, may not have been said in regard to any propagation or statement of sny story, was it said to you by either Moulton or Tilton that any sncb story was a story of crimioal relations between you and Mrs. lilton?

I do not remember what the commencement was. remember tne substance or it. . Q Well, were Tilton's relations or ex pectations, in regard to the Independent, tn.dc me sunject ot conversation at mat time? A. My own impression is that they were not, 0 Well, was anything said about any other paper? A Yes, sir. The Golden Age was tneu unaer diECussioo.
