THE BIXCIICK TKIAL.Witblu the pat wo days we have

given to our readers eo much of GeneralTracey'a opening speech for tlie defenseiu the pcaudal cae of Tllton versusJJecoher, as we thought necessary to anunderstanding of tbo attitude of his cli-

ent. Wehavealw) published & resume bytheNcw YorkJeracZof the case as it wasrested by the plain till", eo that all mighthave an intelligent and unbiassed state-

ment of the case from both sides. Forthe present, therefore, we shall not pub-

lish any more of it. We thall not afllictour reftdorj with a rehash of the massof stuff with which our columns teemedsome months ago, for that is all the teatimony ho far adduced, or that is likely10 oe aauuceu, win amount 10. xracey,in his speech, much of which we havehad to set aside, indicates this, taking as he does the position thatMoulton and Tilton are consplrators,andthe other witnefses women as wellas men unblushing liars. His theory is that Tilton, as he grew infame and character as a writerand orator, became impatient ofthe existence of Henry WardBeecher as the only man who rivalledhim, and that this impatience of rivalryDually took the form of a bitter animos-ity and intense hatred that ultimatelyresolved him to do anything to ruinBeecher, even to the murder of hiswife's reputation and the future of hischildren. And in this, and to effectthis, Tllton had the countenance, aidami advice of Moulton. Worse than thecrime with which Beecher stands'charged, as that is worse than anycrime known to the calendar, the worldwill be slow to believe it short of pointblank evidence to that effect; and evidence of an unquestioned character itmust be, too. It will take somethingmore than Tracey'a say so, especially Inview of the already overwhelmingweight of testimony, to bring the worldto regard Tilton as deliberately planning a scheme by which he sunk thefame and fortune he so much coveted,and ruined a home as delightful as anyin Christendom, merely to reduee a supposed rival, not intellectually, butmorally to the level of the vilest. It Istoo monstrous for belief. One can realise the possibility of Beecher's treachery,and his betrayal of his friend by a lecherous invasion of his home; but cannotimaglno a man so base, so lost toevery instinct of manhood, so fiendishas to attempt to compas? the ruin of hisfriend by the degradation of his wife andchildren and the loss of wealth and po-

sition. The game in that case was notworth the candle. General Tracey, inattempting to prove the reverse, undertakes, we think, a task he will not beable to accomplish. He has allowedhimself to be carried too far. In hiseagernef s to defend his friend and pastor,he has become too aggressive, even toreckles3ness, striking, as he has done,beyond the limits of the court at persons who, while in a collateral sort ofway connected with the case, wereneither principals nor witnesses. Forinstance, his assault upon Bowen wasentirely gratuitous, and like all gratuitiesof that sort, has brought already itspunishment in the following card,which, read by the light of all that hasgone before, means something morethan has yet been told:

lhe following card from Henrv C,Bowen will be published this eveninginiew xotk: "ine statements madeby U. r. Tracey In his opening addressto the court and jury in the Brooklyncauuai cose, so iar as saiu statements

rerer to me as having been engaged Inany'conspiracy whatever, are malignantjaieiuuauuus irom Beginning ioenu,aeasaid Tracey can learn if he will call meto the witness stand, in which event hewill Und out that I don't believe In thndoctrine said to be taught by him thatjyiug is jusunauie under certain circumstances henry c. bowen.

New York. February 26, 1875."Bowen, after this declaration of will

ingnets .and with the taunt that Traceyis a believer in the dsctrine that " lyingis justified by circumstances," ought tobe the first witness in order. That helias something to tell he does not leaveroom to doubt, nor as, little that it isroinethiug that Tracey himself wouldlike to keep locked up as if of no use tohis client But the richness thus rejectedby Tracey wiH no doubt bs acceptableto ueneral Fryor and his associates,and through them we look for it In full,

Within the last year or two so muchnaa been said and written with so littleprofit on the sulject of promoting themauuractutiug Interest of Memphis, itwould seem useless to press the matterfurther. We wish, however, to presenta lew suggestions to our people, and askfor them the careful consideration ofevery one anxious for the permanentgrowth of our city. Of late years wehave had much complaint of the bur-dens of transpoitation. The most practicable way to relieve the producers ofthe south Is to bring them into closerrelations with the consumers. Thepolicy of all producing sections shouldbe to have a home market for theirproducts. Tills can be done only bythe establishment of home manufacto-ries. The south grows cotton because itis its most profitable crop. And yet thetransportation of this southern staple,estim Uing both its raw and manufac-tured state, is very considerable. Isthere any reason why the cotton Statesfchould not manufacture theli own stapleand thus remove one great obstaclein its cultivation, besides addingdirect profit to the capitalist? At pres-ent cotton is baled and shipped onethousand to three thousand miles to bemanufactured into different fabrics, andmuch of it i3 returned to us, thus addingto the original cost of the cotton thefreight and other charges incident totwo thousand to four thousand mil

great a distance, would not those erect-ed where the cotton is porsesagreatly the advantage? If mills in Mas-

sachusetts can purchase cotton in Mem-phis and manufacture It with profit,after transporting it fifteen hundredmiles, and return It to us manufac-tured, over the same fifteen hundredmiles, cannot Memphis, by saving this

expense, ixiauu it cijuauy juuuiuuiurIt may be replied that the economy andskill of the eastern factories would more

compensate for the freight charges,and give them advantage over the

but there is no reason why theskilled operatives the northand east should not be expectedto come Butb, aud atime, the southern operative would be-

Immigration would thus beinvited, wealth would be added and thevalue of property generally enhanced.But it Is not alone in the north and castthat tho southern staple finds the manu-factories, which ore not provided athome, but even in the far northwesternlititude of Minnesota they are spring-ing into activity, and Minneapolis isbuying cotton at Memphis to convertinto seamless grain bags, at the head ofnavigation on the "father of waters."The 8U Paul Press says: "Cotton maystill bo king, but his has beenstripped from him, and he hasdonned the Minneapolis harnessof thrift and Industrial dust."We might expect an enterprising peo-

ple to avail themselves of their boundless resources in the manufacture oftheir native raw material, and thusbuild up the immense system of manu-facturing industries seen in Minneapo-lis. But while the two chief staples arelumber and Hour, around these aregrouped a great variety of other manu-

factureswool, paper, ogricultural im-

plement?, linseed oil, furniture, bootsand shoes, all forms of woodwork, andeven cotton fabrjes. The statistics showa capital thus employed of about twen-ty million dollars, and five thousandoperatives, in a place which has in adozen years grown from an obscure vil-

lage to a city of nearly thirty thousandinhabitants, and that almost insight ofSt. Paul. While Mompuis, with all itsadvantages as one of the great cottoncenters, has not a dollar invested in themanufacture of the one great product ofthe south. We earnestly hope thismatter will be more closely considered,and that our monied friends may be in-

duced to make an investment in thisdirection. We feel quite sure that whenone is inaugurated others will soonfollow.

General Francis A. Walker,-T!it-e su-

perintendent of the United States cen-sus, and now professor of political his-tory in Yale college, delivered a lectureto his class last week on the "constitu-tional aspect of the Louisiana case." Inconcluding ho said: "Gentlemen, it isall wrong; wrong from beginning toend. Partisans may cover the stain withtho cloak of 'party fidelity;' may leadaway the eyes of the people with irrele-vant discussions; but the Htaiu is there.Nothing can wipe it out but its condem-nation by every lover of civil libertyand constitutional order. Wrong, allhistory tells us. will soon form precedent,unless checked by a healthy expressionof public morality, by the press and oth-er organs of the body politic. And al-

low me to conclude that the press is do-

ing its mission in this as in other publicduties, with a vigor worthy of our na-tion and of the nineteenth century."

Hon.Thos.H. Bowen, formerly Terri-torial governor of Idaho, but more re-

cently an aspirant for the United Statessenate from Arkansas, arrived in St.Louis, a few days ago, from Washing-ton. Bowen was looked upon as a mem-ber of the Clayton-M'Clur- e ring, andlike others in Washington, despair ofGrant's aid. A few days ago a caucusof these men was held, when it was an-nounced that all hope for a restorationof their detested rule in Arkansas hadfled; that Republican members of bothhouses had given them to understandthat nothing could be done for them inthat Slate. It is understood that manyof them will emigrate to New Mexico,where they hope, in the course of years,to resurrect their fallen power. But themost of them have bid a long adieu to aSlate whose people they have impover-ished, whoseresources they have squandered, whose credit they have ruined,and whose government they have madea by-wo- rd in the mouths of all honestmen.

A private letter from St. Pierre, New-foundland, gives an account of thestranding oi a rudderless shooner whosecrew had frozen to death : Out of thegallery two human legs protruded, andupon investigation the fishermen foundthat they belonged to the corpse of acolored man, whose face was frozen tothe deck aud whose body was stiff andhard as the ice that surrounded it. Thesteering gear had all been swept awaywith the rudder, and tho vessel musthave been for weeks at the mercy of theelemeu's. In tho forecastle three bodieswere found which had neen eitherfrozen or staryed to death, for no pro-vision couid be found on board. Acorpso wad found on its face beside acoil of rope near the galley, and like therest it was hard as a stone imbedded ina surface of Ice. The cabin windowshad been broken in by heavy seas, andand the captain's stateroom aud mate'sbunks were solidly cased with ice. Therewas a box of matches and some kindling wood frozen in the ice near wherethe stove or "bogy" had stood before thesevere lurching of the vessel or the forceof the seas threw it down. A corpsswas found at the downward end of thecabin, with the stove shading the face.
