A correspondent of the Toledo Blade nominates B. R. Cowen for Governor. He won't accept, otherwise we might reproduce the handsome things said of him. Juixie Neilson declined to have Mrs. Tilton's appeal read or published. It is therefore given to the public through the press, the authentic copy being that which appears in these columns. A spurious copy, originating with Joe Howard's New York Star, was sent out in the press dispatches of yesterday, and victimized the Afternoon press. The Cincinnati Commercial has for many years blasphemed all platforms and said that the only plank of a platform that the people care for is the character of the candidate. Now it turns around and cries night and day for a plank againBt Third Term in the Republican platform, and it don't care who the candidate is, if (he platform can only be made right. These things are curious and strange. The Dispatch sets up a hoohoo of nearly u column, because it thinks the State Journal is trying to deprive it of the credit it is entitled to for blowing about its advocacy of the Scio'to Valley railroad. Why, bless its old Put-tyhead, we never thought of such a thing. No one but an idiot would have opposed tbe road, and no one but an unsophisticated clodpole would think of claiming any credit for advocating it in a daily paper. Newspaper f ailures. Howell's forthcoming Newspaper Directory shows the failure of over one thousand newspapers in this country during the past year, the loss to publishers, subscribers and advertisers amounting to over eight million dollars, the Republic, of New York, alone losing half a million. Among those who went into the newspaper business, and lost heavily thereby, were 376 merchans and adventurers, 315 school teachers, 67 lawyers, 4 blacksmiths, ai plasterers, 10 farmers, 200 fanatics of various plusses, sfllicted with literary lesion, 100 awbitious but visionary young men who drew upon their fathers, and thus suddenly exhausted large margins of the paternal capital, and 6 lottery men. A Plucky Editor. Among the sufferers by the Oshkosh fire was General Torn Allen, editor and proprietor of the Northwestern, a vigorous daily. He was present and saw his office and all its material g down, and then he set about devising means for giving his subscribers the news without a break in the issue of the paper. All the other offices were burned out, and in all Oshkosh a whole font of type could not be found. Ha must needs go elsewhere, and at night, while the flames were slowly dying out, he boarded the train for Fon du Luc, taking with him bis citv editor. He then secured the assistance of the ottff of the Reporter and the consent to use their press. The Northwestern was issue tile next morning, and a few hours later thw usual was circulated among its subscribers in Oshkosh. This ii what may be called enterprise, ttta1 Felt.

Judge Mor-rieles, of the United Slates District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, in a charge to the grand jury reviewed the Civil Rights bill, and expressed the opin ion that all persons have a legal right to have board and lodging at an inn, transportation on steamers and railroads or stages, or an entrance in a theater, while they do not thereby acquire any social rights. To hold that a conductor of a railroad train cannot assign a special car to ladies and children and their attendants to the exclusion of all others, provided other psssengers are furnished with other cars, with all necessary facilities for traveling, would be to stab social rights, privileges and immunities. Therefore, my vieir of the act is that it was not intended to affect social rights, but civil and legal rights.-In conclusion, the Judge stated that if it shall be made to appenr that any innkeeper, manager of a theater, or transportation agent, has refused proper facilities to any one on account of race, cclor, or previous condition, the grand jury will be authorised to find a true bill against them, Tho Act Prononuced Unconstlln-llonnl.WlLMINOTON, N, C, May 4. Judge Brooks of the United States District Court, in charging the grand jury today, said the Civil Rights bill in its criminal aspect, which was the only shape in which it could come before the grand jury, was unconstitutional and void.

The Indian Bureau has information to-day from Special Commandant Shanks and also from unofficial sources that the supplies so greatly needed for Indians near Fort Sill and at the Witchita agency have all gone forward from Caddo within the past few days. The insufficiency of provisions and consequent suffering among the Indians there have been caused by the failure of the contractor to convey supplies from Caddo to the reservations, lie claims that their transportation heretofore has been rendered impossible by the extraordinary state of the roads' and bad weather, Attempted Rank Robbery. Pittsburg, May 4 Five supposed pon-fidence men were arrested here to-day, believed to be the party who were halHed in a design to rob the Peoples' Savings Hunk in this city yesterday. While thecashier was alone three of them entered the bank separately, appearing to be strangers to each other. Two of them engaged the attention of the cashier while the third one succeeded in getting behind the counter. Their design was frustrated, however, by persons who had observed their movements in entering the bank. They gave their names as James D. Thomas, of Philadelphia. H. A.

Mar Kebnttlng Witnesses lar the Praaeeajiion.. Richards Takes Issue with Tracy and Bessie Turner. Stephei Pearl Andrews, the Pastarchiet, the Start. New York, Mar 4. The plaintiff and defendant were absent from the court room when the great scandal case was begun to-day. Mrs. Beecher, however, was on hand, and Mr. Til Ion arrived five minutes after proceedings had commenced accompanied again by Mrs. Middlebrook and daughter. Franklin Woodruff resumed the witness stand, and Mr. Beach stated that the witness had been subnena- ed to produce the books of bis firm for the past two years. Mr. Woodruff testi Bed: At the interview with Jackson Schnlli I was present all through. The starting of a paper was talked about between Bchultt and Tilton. The latter said he could not accept any aid which would place them under obligations to Beecher. Cross-examination by Shearman I have known Mr. Tracy very intimately for five or six vears. and nulled fi-pmiiinllv at his office. 1 do not know that this in timacy ever ceased. Tracy was retained for our firm in two or three cases. 1 am very intimately acquainted with Mr. Geo. U Mchols, Samuel McLean and Mr. Sonthwick. I spoke to them very often, and have talked with them about this scandal. I may have talked to them about things connected with this scandal and about which the public did not know. 1 think I talked with McLean about counsel before I consulted Tracy. I have talked to all these gentlemen during the past year about my consultation with Tracy at McLean's house with him and Mr. Nichols. I do not remember reading the interview in the Brooklyn Union of June 26. 1874. between a report er and Tracy, nor do I remember having uinue ii . Buujeut ui conversation, mougn I may have done so. I do not recollect any portion of this reported interview. I may have had" a talk about it, but I do not recollect if 1 did. I had a talk with McLean last night, but we did not converse about this published interview, I ssw Tracy after ne mane nis statement in September, but 1 recollect no special talks with him. I understood Tracy was in consultation with Monlton on the subject of this scan- dal after June 26, 1874. I intimated to Iracyat Ins house last summer that he had misrepresented matters in his statement of the scandal. After Tracy told il on lion of the money transaction of which he was informed by me, 1 went to Tracy and told him he had abused my confidence in telling Monlton, and he admitted he had done- wrong. 1 did not know until last summer from what source the five thousand dollars givpn to Tilton was derived, I do not think that Monlton ever upbraided me for telling Tracy. At this interview with Tracy I told him that when the $5000 came to the firm I diil not know where it came from. I may nave saia i linerrea uie money came from Beecher. I do not recollect if Tracy told me the $5000 was. drawn from bank by Beecher that day and given to Moulton, nor that Tracy said he was sure he was right because he had spoken to Judge Benedict about it. My understanding of the $500 payment was that it was made in one sum. 1 mentioned the fact of pay ment at that time to no person hut Tracy. I told Southwick about the $5000 payment, but I cannot swear I told him the evening it was deposited. I told fiouth-wick that payments of $5000 had been paid into our firm chargeable to T. T. I told liira it had been placed to Moulton's credit on the cash book. I told him I thought Beecher paid it, but he said it was mors likely iiowen bad paid it. I have a recollection of having been informed by Moulton that he had receiv ed money to pay Bessie Turner's school ing, i tlnnlt it was in l8zor 1873. It may have been in 1871, however. I do not remember haying toll Tracy about the five thousand dollar payment until laBt summer. Moulton said the fi ve hundred dollar payment was made for the support of Mrs. Tilton's family, but I do not recollect it ne said anything about Ucssie 1 urner a school payments. 1 think Moulton told me the money was raid in bills, and I think I told Tracy of this. I was not informed nor did I know what was done with this money. I don't rec ollect any eheck of $500 being paid by Beectierio Moulton. i collected in November, 1872, the interest due on the bond and mortgage on Tilton's house, but I do not remember it this was trip day Moulton told me be received the $500. f hare no explanation to offer of Tilton on the 18th of November, 1872, beina credited on our books with $500, and no note being made of bis having received it. The interview with Tracy occurred about a week or ten days after the Woodhiill publica tion, i uiu not tee niton until Sunday night following. In the morning interview with Tracy Moultn did npt tell him about the five hundred dollar payment or Bessie Turn ers school bills, i never objected to these transactions or complained to Moulton of having made the firm a channel for these payments. I do not remember saying to Sonthwick in conversation about the Woorihull scandal whether it would be beat to drive Beecher out of Brooklyn, nor did he reply to me, "You may have a head for carrying on tho salt business, but you cannot drive Henry Ward Beecher out of Brooklyn." The witness was here allowed to leave the stand, and a recess was taken. After recess Mr. Morris announced that he and Mr. Evarts had been talking to Dr. Styles, the physician who attended Mrs. Tilton, aud he stated that after her confinement his last professional visit to ner whs on ins 4viq ui uecetuijer, AOflfl. Mrs. Anna M. Middlebrook was than called and testified : I reside in Connecticut, where mv hus band is in business. I became acquaint ed with Tilton in 1871. This was in the summer, and in the autumn of that year I met him at 4(r- Woodhull's house. I met Mrs. Woodhiill firs' at a woman'B Buffroge convention in New York, in the spring of 1871. I went to her house in autumn on business. I was enrared in writing articles for her paper. The dale of my visit to her was October 20, 1871. On that occasion there were present, I think, Edward wheeler and JUIward Deacon, of Boston, I am positive that there was no conversation there that evening on the subject of this scandal. it was alter darn when 1 went there, and about ten or eleven when I left, We were in a long parlor. The folding doors were open, making one room. I remember being in Boston on September 3, when Mm. Woodhull addressed a meeting and referred to the scandal. She spoke of parsons living ia criminal lalaliaaa with other people, and sneatioaed as one of went Mr. ueecner aa kavlng relations with Mrs. Tilton. Then were few people present at mis meeung. Crosa-exsniined My ai-qnaintaiice with Mrs. Woodhull began, 1 think, in the spring of 1871. though it mav have been earlier. I often visited her at her office when I was in New York. I met Tilton first in Mrs. Woodhull's office. She introduced ne to bint. I can not member how eoon afier my first acquaintance with Mrs. Woodhull I waa an advocate of the Spiritual movement and wrote fur Claflin and Woodhull's paper. It to by acci dent that I visited Mrs. Woodhull house that evening, for during the day I had attended a spiritualistic meeting at her office and it wa raining and she asked me to go home with her. 1 did notiuow there was to be any rather ing there until I arrived. I do not recol lect that any other ladiea were there except Mrs. Woodhull and Miss Claflia. I remember Mr. Wheeler makings medi-umistic speech, but not that Tilton re ported n. I rememlier a conversation that we had about I he Lowell operatives and restrictions placed on women there. 1 got there about seven and left between ten and eleven. 1 here waa no conversation of a private character that night. lo rullerton Within the nast two years 1 nave been a medical student in Jew York, and was a resident for a short time in the Women's Medical Hospital The witness here resumed her seat Joseph P. Richards waa then recalled : 1 remember going before tbe investigat ing committee at Storm's house last sum mer. General Tracy was there, but not when 1 arrived. 1 had a conversation with him in front of the parlor, He made some remarks about my appearing before the committee. Witness was asked to relate this inter view, which waa objected to and a lone argument ensued. The objection was overruled and the witness resumed: 1 said to Tracy that I appeared at a sum mons trom Mr. Bage. Iracy said, "1 am here as Beeciier's counsel." and he told me I would be asked if my sister had ever con lessen to me ot having committed adul tery with Beecher. 1 replied that 1 would not answer that question. He said that my refusal to answer would be construed as an answer in tbe affirmative, and I refused to go before the committee. I am sure General Tracy told me he was acting as counsel fo Beecher. I do not remem ber Bessie Turner coming to me at the postoffice in December, 1870, and making to me any revelations of ill treatment at the hands of Tilton. I never remember her calling there at any time, nor do I ever remember hearing such a revelation trom her. This witness was not cross-examined. and John Bremnier was next called and testified that Tilton walked with John Swintnn in the Rossel procession. Ste phen rearl Andrews was next called, but the Court adjourned before anything important was elicited. airs, tilton's appeal. The Brooklyn Eagle furnishes the fol lowing copy of Mrs. Tilton's letter: Brooklyn, May 3, 1875. Judge Neilson: I ask the nrivilece from yon for a few. words in mv own be half. 1 feel very deeply the injustice of my position in the law and betore the Court now silting, and while I have un derstood and expected from tlip beginning Mr. iivarls's principle in the matter, vet since your last decision I have been so sensible of the power of my enemies that my soul cries out before you and the gentlemen of the jury, that they beware how, by a divided verdict tliey consign to my children a false and Irrevocable stain upon their mother, bor five years past 1 have been the vic tim of circumstances most cruel and tin- fortunate, struggling from time to time only for a place to live honorably and truthfully. Released fur some months from the will, by whose power unconsciously I criminated myself again and again, I declare solemnly before you, without fear of man, and by faith in God, that I am innocent of the crimes charged against me. I would like lo tell my whole sad story truthfully, and to acknowledge the frequent falsehoods wrung from me by compulsion,' though at the same lime unwilling to reveal the secret of my married lite, which only the vital Importance of my position makes necessary. I assume the entire responsibility of this request, unknown to friend or counsel of either side, and await your honor's honorable decision. With great respect, Elizabeth Tilton. REPLY OF JUDGE NEfLSOsT. The following is Judge Neilson'e reply: Cmaiibeb or TH s Citv Court of Brooklyn, ) Hboobl-yk, N. V., May,, 175. J Mrs. Tilton I am directed by Chief Judge Neilson to return your letter, as it can not be read in court, and also to state that in civil cases counsel have the right to re train trom calling particular witnesses, however competent, and that neither the Court nor the client can interfere with the exercise of that right. The Judge also instructs me to say that the question whether yon cap be a witness stands on quite another ground from that considered when your husband was called and sworn. He was a competent witness to testify in his behalf against a third Der- flon, defendant, and while the policy of the law wsb to some extent involved, there was no express statute in the way, but the statute of May 10, 1867, expresslv declares the wife to be incompetent aa a witness lor or sgamst the husband. yours respectfully, CjEORGE W.
