Beeoher waa not present. Evarts read the letter which was written by Tilton to a friend to Connecticut, explaining the charge of stopping sit a hotel in Wiusted with a lady. He said, in ex? planation of this ooonrrenoe, that the lady was a protege of hie wife's, who bad attended a lecture of his there, and was staying at tbe hotel, but there be ing no fire in her room aod a stove in his, she had oome inte bis room to share tho heat, and sat by tbe fire reading to' him while he lay on the bed. During tbe examination, there was some reference by counsel to Til ton's capacity as a phonographic re? porter, when the following colloquy took place: Evarts?"I ask you, sir, if you are nn expert phonographer?" Witness?"Solomon says, 'Let another fraise thee, and not thine own lips.' " Laughter.] Evarts?"What on earth bas Solomon got to do with your case?" I Increased laughter. | The Court here administered a reboke.to the audience, and the witness resumed bis testimony, whioh referred to making a note of the testimony at tbe Plymouth Church in? vestigation. Witness also said to-day: "I went to Mrs. Woodholl's offlco when occasion required, but with no freat regularity. X always went wheu waa sent for, aqd "sometimes I went spontaneously. I went to her house perhaps ten or a dor?n times. I only passed one night under her roof, iu September; the precise day I do not remember. I do not remember where I spent tbe time from the 3d to the 5th Of July, 1871, and cannot say if any portion ofit Was apen tat the house of Mrs. Woodholl. I did not spend either of those nights at her house, though I ana uoable to say that I was at her residence on these days. I can? not, remember anything noteworthy ooouuing on either of these days 1 never passed three days in her com? pany, though I cannot say if I passed a pqition of any of these days in her house." Tilton farther eaid: "When Beeoher met mo at the house of. Moni ton, when he (Moulton)' was siok, Beeoher ealrtted me with a kisa on the . After a ay period of estrange ment, Bsecher and I occasionally sa? luted one another with a'kiss."

Mr. How? ard, on "The Aima and Objacta of the Petrous of Husbandry," delivered av the Hibernian Hall, Charleston, on Friday night, before the members of the order and a large number of oiti sens, is as follows: Worthy Master, Brothers and Sisters or the Grange, Ladies and tRNTiiKMKN: If che aodienoe bad been composed entirely of members of the Nstienal Orange, I could Dot presnme to address you with remarks uatorally connected with instruction. There are others in this assembly muob more competent for that purpose than my? self. But there are others here who are not connectad with our order, and Ashley Grange has done me tho honor to request me to explain some of the ends and aims of that order. This task I take with the hope of removing some of the prejudices that might have existed against it. The word "grange" ia Frenob, it means farm, and, as up plied by us to oar organizations, is most fitting, aa deeciiptive of a bind of farmers. The homestead of the apostle of liberty, LaFayette, who left bis owq fair Franaeto fight for us, was La Orange, the Orange. There is a poetio and historic propriety in our assumption to that name in a struggle of a different sort, but not the less glorious or severe. The farmers of our country have been considered, us it were, the beast of burden of sooiety, that is to say, they were expeoted to furnish food and the raw material for the support and raiment of the rest; and the remaining portion of the com? munity were to derive the profits therefrom. Throughout the whole oountry we are largely in the majority. The extent of the majority differs iu different seotions of the United States. In the South the majority i? greutest; iu my own State (Georgia) reaching seventy-five per cent, of the whole population; in other Southern States approximating that amount if it does not reaoh it, and yet this greater por? tion of the community have beea in a sense governed and controlled by the remaining minority. The position is unnatural. I have sometimes thought that the elephant iu the menagerie fit? tingly illustrates our position. - You shall go into the menagerie and sue that huge beast with the strength of a hundred men in bis limbs, and there is a little keeper with nothing ' but a small goad in bis hand, who gives bitn orders. He kneels down, lays down, bellows, roars and does everything that the keeper requires, while all thro time he could piok him'up with his* trunk and burl him through the' can? vas without exerting an appreciable, effort. The farmers of the South are the largest part of tho population; and yet this* little twenty-five per cent., with its sharp goad, punches us, and we kneel down, lay down, bellow, roar, do whatever tbey command us to do, while all the time we could pick them up with oar trunk and throw, them through the canvas, and scarcely feel that we have exerted'an apprecia? ble amount of strength. Why is this? It is beoauae the minority is organized and the majority is not organized, and we all know what a disciplined squad of men can do with an undisciplined mob. Bat that fault is being correct? ed. This organization has sprung into life. It has not yot, reached its fullness, bat when that completeness of organization is perfected towards which we are now so rapidly tending, there will be a body of men and women counted by hundreds of thousands, banded iudiesolubly together, who will render resistance to their will im? possible. This is to bo the result of this organization, which bus been be? gun and is now going on to- cousum mution. Agtioulture bus been op? pressed. The form of oppressiou differs iu different seotions. Iu the North-west, the chief harden has been connected with transportation, and efforts have been made to lessen this burden, and gallantly the contest bus been waged. The burden connected with the varia? tion of prices, the "watering" of stocks, rings aod monopolies; that is the oloos of oppression with which oor North-western brothers have had to contend. At the South, we do not meet with that dillioulty, or rather it assumes a different ahape. I do not think that we here in the South oan reasonably oomplain of the railroads, tbey are controlled by gentlemen in whom i we have entire confidence. Those who hold their stocks are our widows and orphans, and those seek? ing permanent investments. And 3et these railroads are all failing to declare dividends, their stocks and bonds are below par, aod altbongh their ratea are high, they assure us that tbey oannot transport freights at lower rates, be cause of the small shipments. We oaunot blame them. Bat the bardea still falls heavily npon the farmer. What is to be done by them whioh will oorreot that whioh the railroads say is beyond their power? A portion of our oitisens have attempted te remove a part of that difficulty connected with transportation by establishing a direct trade to Europe; a movement emi? nently worthy, if it oan be found prac? ticable. The State Orange of Georgia haa organised a board of direct trade, with a beginning capital of ?100,ODO, the moat of whioh baa been paid in. They have shipped already a,000 bales of cotton and hope before the end of the season U ship 10,000 bales. This is a. local institution, but- why should it be merely local when it may be ex greatest faith. A gentleman from this city la our agent 1? Bnxope, bot while this easy relieve oommi?Hone so fer ae practicable, it does not affect the qoes lion of railway transportation. A sorer relief will be provided in ship? ping diroot to tbe spinnen at home. Wo should have par markets in onr own section of coant/y, in .oar own Ooaatiee, ir possible. Mf the eaje of our cotton., In the State oT Georgia there ere forty-two cotton mills to' work op 330,000,000 worths of raw materiel, and yet the factories whioh have beeu established heretofore are prospering I? a degree which Is not allowed to any other in das try fn the Und, end I wish yon. gentlemen of tbe North, to Ree that while yoar cotton mills are stop? ping and working on half time, the cotton mills of the Sooth have never known greater prosperity. It costs yon too much to get the cotton to yon. The cotton mills must come to the cotton, and when they do come here, tbey will find their profits increased to a degreo with which they have not been heretofore familiar. The South? ern people are poor, but I think that tbey can establish these factories. Tnere are means by whioh we oan rind eanital. We of tbe South havo always Ivon too impatiout; wo havo been unwilling to creep before we could walk. We must be content with small beginnings. I know of a cotton factory in Georgia which was corn men *ed before tbe war with acipitul of $25,000 only. That faotory has now invested a capital of $200,000, derived from no outside source whatever but the profits accruing, and in the mean? time tbe stockholders have lived and prospered; und I can scarcely believe that there is a large cotton county in the South that could| not, with this small beginning, bnild up such an in? terest. The system of agriculture pursued iu the South is suob (I mean exclusive oottoo planting) tbat it cos's more labor to the productive acre than to any Other people in Christendom. I If we could aot as other people act, oar results would be far different; but in onr agriculture, as in our other pur suits, we have fallen into a rut, und do not know how to get out of it, espe? cially with ? jaded team. We must see how others have dono and are doing, with no greater advantages than lours, to make their latiun profitable. I There where profitable agriculture I prevails, all portions of the land are I made to pay tbe price of tbo labor; I tbat ia to say, some portions are ul-i j lowed to produce those products which ' I require no excessive amount of labor. If we wef8 to take off one-half of our cotton crop add devote our attention to the cnUffatlqn ?Ingresses and the raiaing of lire stock.Vae^hey do at the j North, we oquld cuty??eeo half of our I expenses, both frt mphey and labor, liend that ,mi?ney whitflf-wo thus save we could put id >a cotton factory uud I give os a' market at home for all the products of onr farm. I beg tbat this point will be carefully considered. I I think it one material to the interests 1 of the North and South and West. It I is, perhaps, not the only remedy, but, {in my opinion, it is by far the best ] whioh boa beeu devised, by which to make tlie marketa for oar'farm pro? ducts-directly within our reach. It has been--supposed by some persons that the Grange is an aggressive insti I tntion?that our design is to attack all the rest of sooiety. I don't know that our position can be better illustrated than by the anecdote .of the Quaker, I who, being a passenger of a vessel which was being chased by a pirate, was miked by others of the passengers if he was not going to arm himself? No, says ho, I never oarry deadly weapons. The pirate approached tbe vessel, and one ot the crew was j m leaping ou board the merohaot uhip, when the Quaker seizrd him iu his I arms and dropped bim overboard, uud siiid, ''Friend, thou hast no business here." The Grange says this: Wo ut tack nobody, we strike nobody, but we want it well understood that wo uro excellent bauds at fending off. Tbe means by which we hope to reduce the cost of our produce is bo well known that I do not propose to dwell longer npou it. Our general rule is to sell I where there is tbe greatest advantage, and buy at tbe greatest advantage, aud, in every oaee that it ia possible, I to do without middle-meu. Wo oau't j do without middle-men entirely; but i we oan lessen their number and their [charges. Tbe Grange is a social, educational and moral organization as well as I economic. I oonfess that, when my attention was first attracted to the I Grange, there were prejudices iu my mind against it, and they prevented me from becoming a member of it for a considerable- time. Oue objection was its secrecy. I bad never joined a secret sooiety of any kind, and had strong scruples against oonneoting my? self with suoh an organizttion. The other was the admission of ladies into the Grange. I feared what might be the possible result of that admission. I oonfess to a religions horror of a Iteohnically termed strong-minded wo? man. She frightens me. There is a delicate obarm about female character, like the down upon tbe butterfly's wing, wbioh, onoe removed, oannot be restored, and the beautiful insect falls fluttering to the ground. And I was afraid that this admission might have I that effect; bot I went npon the prin? ciple that, when we oannot get exactly what we want, it ia good sense to take the next best thst wa oan get. I waived my scruples, and beoame a member of the Grange, end I fonnd tbat its seoreoy was a bond of union, reasonable, natural and proper, im? pairing no previous obligation, civil, political or religious. So far as tbe admission of ladies was oonoerned, in? stead of acting disadvantageous^, I [found it an eminent advantage. You I will, ia the first place, eee that no men will admit into aa association, of I whieh his wife end daughter are mem I hers, eny hut men of unquestionable upright now and integrity. The ladies I of the Grange ere the emblems of ite purity. You will observe thai the I Grange makes provision for that whioh is a great defect io our society, that is, I healthful amusement. It is aa im? portent as the food we eat, for it if I jast as natural that youth should seek amusement as that the lamb should skip,. or that the bird should sing. I At the end of every month there is a festival; after the business of the day is over a repast is spread, and the members of the Grauge, yonog and old, enjoy themselves in a way suited to their years and inclinations. It is our duty to make our offspring happy. Thero is some good poetry and somo vory bad theology in that popular vurse, * -This world is nil a fleeting show, For m<ta'a iilusiou given; The smiles of jay, the tears of woe. Deceitful shine, deceitful flow. There's nothing true bat Heaven." Heaven is, indeed, grandly, glori? ously true, but there is truth oft-times id the tears whioh spring from the fond heart, almost broken, finding re? lief thus, when relief could not be ob? tained. "Go, let me weep this blisa in tears." There is truth in the smile of joy. This beautiful earth was not made for oiaa's illusion. Otherwise, the green carpet of spriug, its hills of flowers, the restless ocean, the star? light uight, the palo moon, the glori? ous life-giving sou, are all libels upon the Great Creator. All nature cries out, her voice is the voice of God to his intelligent creatures. "Be good, bo happy 1" It is also educational to oar daughters, teuching them tbut they are not merely to be batter-flies of life, to be amased and amuse, but that, io the oondnoting of the farm, they should.so employ themselves as to m ike all work to the best advantage I in tho garden and iu the homestead, to strive io all the various ways to make home the happiest place on earth. And to mother and daughter, the Grange says, make home beautiful within; make home happy within with good books and sweet musio; and,, bet? ter than all, with tbe accord of the heart of the family, whioh are one in their pursuits, geoerous, jast and true. Make home beautiful without, plant flowers around the homestead, gladden it with tbe smiles of spring, rob winter of his chill by tbe ever-lovely ever? green. Make home attractive for your sous. At the restive period of life, when they are aeekiog change, and disposed to wander to distant lands, ao they look around them upon, their beautiful home, are forced to exclaim, "I oannot leave thee; those flowere? these bowers their bands entwined,' my mother and sisters implanted.-. Here I was won, there I was won to virtae by my mother's smile 'end de? terred from vice by my father's frown; over those fields I followed the bound? ing game; iu those clear waters my young limbs bsthed. I cannot lease theel Godl do so to me and mine also, if aught bat death part thee aod me." I As to oar sons, in tbe way of eduoa I tion, the Orange here plays aa imper I taut part?it brings about tbe oombi I nation of study and labor, and a long experience of teaching leads me to be? lieve that the value of this combine tiou oannot be over estimated. Tbe world's most healthy and sound minds I have been produced by just. such, a combination. I know no position which I would rather see my swus oc oupy, than to stand Upon their own lands?honest, educated farmers, fear? ing God, nud doing their doty to their fellow-man. I cannot conceive of a social IKveitioji higher than this. The Grunge is also mors!. I don't know who wr?to the marioal of the Grange; but I have this to cay, whoever he was, wbother one mind or many minds, the work that has been done is an immense benefit to mankind. Out of the sacred Scripturea,-! koTJW'of no compeud of human condhot equal to it. Iu the teaching of that ritual, no man, no womnti. no youth of either sex, can fail, if she or'he faithfully applies that ritual, to bo qsefal members of so? ciety, aod be fitted for all its ends. The Grange directs its members to take ao interest in public affairs as citizens. While wo have nothing to do with politics io a party sense, we have a great deal to do with laws. If there are hurtful laws that ought to be repealed, and good laws that ought to be passed, it is oar daty to tarn oat tboss representatives who will not bring this common good about, aod pat those in office who will prove faith? ful to their trust?not as men of tho Grange, but as oitizens. The whole country at present is not represented, bat the National Grange assembles, and the whole country is not only rep? resented in that body, but there in not a siegle seotional interest represented io it, there is not e single political clique, there is nothing to mar the harmouy of the body which meets to aot for tho best welfare of the great majority of American oitisens; and when that body meets, it is in the kin dred spirit to bear with the differing* of party, and closely boand together by tbe ties of friendship and mutual interest. The North and South sboold know eaoh other better, and it is iust this intercourse in the Grange that will bring tbis aboot. It is this inter? course whioh will remove all those nu* ploasant asperities. It is aaid that a bond of railroad iron is the strongest bond that can bind different seotions [of country together. It is indeed to us power; but there is another bond that is stronger; it is water, il h stronger than iron; time oannot weaken it. The little stream that starte from I the mountain top dancing down its rocky bed to the ocean, sever wearies till it reaches the broad path laedlng to the ocean, and aa eeotwriee roll oa there is always that derating attic rive let, always that bright little leading the Jwnmeroe of out country to the broad bosom ?f the ocean. The war soiled ope truth clearly; it waa thet ihe peopje 11**8 on tbbfrank of the Mississippi will toe on? beople In all timea. We want four mouths to the Father of Waters. One for the Southern ports, one for the Central Atlantic ports, and another for the Middle Northern trade. If the Go? vernment will do this there will he created a bond of union whioh never can be disturbed. Bet there is still s stronger bond than iron or water. A bond invisible, indeed, bat potent us the aneeen oircomaiabient air, with? out which we iostabtly- parish. It is the triplo cord which, no man can break?Faitb, Hope, Charity. These three?inimitable, lasting es the exist? ence of Him of whose nature they are a portion. It is tbisbond whiouTbinds the Grange together, and through it binds together the whole country. If the National Grange, with its subordi? nate Granges, in their present num? ber-, had existed for several years he fore tbo war, x do not believe that war would have occurred.
