Tho City Court was filloil early to-day with tho friends of Beecher and Tilton. Both principals to the suit appeared short- Il v before 11 o’clock. A great, commo tion was caused by the entrance of Mrs. Tilton and her father, ex-Judge I i Morris. They took seats neat* Mrs. i Beecher. Theodore smiled, but his counsel looked dumbfounded. Morris resumed his argument at ll | o’clock. He said he would speak j chiefly in relation to Tilton’s expul ! sion from Plymouth Church. Beoch- I er’s whole action in this matter showed that he (Beecher) was trying I |to stave off the exposure of his crime, when Mrs. Woodhull threatened to crush defendant, lie < • asked aid of Moulton. The jury j could judge defendant, and would leave his reputation and honor in the hands of another, if there was not some terrible secret between them. Counsel read several letters from | Woodhull to Beecher to show exist ing friendship. He referred to the ; meeting of Tilton and Beecher in j the ears at Boston, January, 1872, when plaintiff said, “Goon in your work, I will not disturb you.” These were the words of the injured man who knew the crime committed against this name. The famous letter ofUe€N*her’s(wh re he offers to step down and sit), was read by Morris and commented upon. He doubted that Beecher would b<* willing to give up the great pulpit at Plymouth Church unless he was guil ty. When ho wrote t hat letter he fcured the result of the publication of all the facts of his crime. Morris continued by saying no man could write such letters without feeling his guilt. It was the out pouring of one wrecked with the remorseful con sequences of his own crime. If he was innocent, defendant would have written to Moulton for a different communication. The counsel compared Beecher’s bra very before the howling mob in Liv erpool in 18(53 with his cowardice in this case. He referred to the Bowen Tilton Beecher tripar tite alliance, and said it was a convincing argument of guilt. He referred to the publication of the Woodhull story, and said it confirm ed the defendant’s guilt. It was his duty to deny wholly and unqualified ly. Instead of this he continued preaching Sunday after Sunday. His silence was proof of his guilt. Ni-iv Vnrlt Condemn* Grant In tin- Ijiiil- Nlnna Airalr. Special to tie- Tim> * by H. A A.

ARREST AND CONFESSION OF' Till' AUTHORS OF TIIE J.KIi COUNTY, MISS., lIOUUOH A WHOLE FAMILY UUHNIiD IN Til Kilt OWN HOUSE TWO LITTLE CHILDREN UURNF.D alive! Sume days since, mention was made in the telegraphic columns of the Anthturh e of the murder of a family named llorum, living near Shannon, on the Mobile and Ohio linilruml in Leo county, Mississippi. The whole affair seemed shrouded in mystery, so much so that the coro ner's jury, which viewed the charred remains of the unfortunate family, returned a veroiet of “death from ac cidental burning.” Since then, the mystery tins been cleared up, and tho .tnthmrhr is able to give tho follow ing particulars, for which it is in debted to the Agent of tho American Press Association ot this city ; Tho victims in this horrible tragedy, were Mr. Horn in, a young man of 26 or 30 years of ago, his wife and children, aged respectively three and six years, and a little negro boy who was acting in the capacity of a servant. Until within a few days previous, Mr. Bo rum had been merchandizing in the town oft’amargo, in Monroe county, when he sold out for some six or seven hundred dollars in cash, and j removed with his family to the log house in which they were murdered, and which was about a mile and a halt west from Shannon ; his nearest ' neighbor, a widow lady with two young eluldren, living a half a mile distant. On Hat unlay, the 6th ult., Air. Borum was in the store of Air. Whitesides, in Shannon, and while there, the latter remarked that he was in need, temporarily, of some motley, and asked Borum if lie could accommodate him. The amount lie wan Led was t wo or three hundred dol lars. which Durum said Ii mid let liini have, and would bring it to him the following Monday. There were presi'iil in the store at this time, negroes, who overheard the conver sation. Borum soon afterwards, left tlie store and proceeded I homeward. ’The next morn-! ing (Sunday) neighbors passing, dis e, ivered a neap of blackened ruins where the Borum residence stood. Tlie doorway which had not been to tally burned, was approached, and tlie door found locked, but the key was gone, Search among the smok ing timbers revealed the horrible i piitli of the murder. A few feet from the doorway were found tho remains of Borum a part of the heart and liver lying in one mass. The skull, which had been burned from the trunk, was found close by, a past of the brain remaining in the cavity. In the : hull were found two holes, mid on the inside two misshapen pieces of lead the bullets having been melted by the intensity of tlie lieat, l!y the side of these remains were found a pistol that Imd been discharged, and Romm's [loeki'l-knife, with the blade open. In the northwest corner of the loom, wlmre the bed had stood, was foilnd lln -gluts! lv skeletons of mother mid child locked in a close embrace. \ lew feet from 111 is were I III■ ashes ■nid some bones of the eldest child, j In the east of the room had been the fireplace, and nen ft his were found tlie remains of the littlojnegro hoy. The excitement created in the neighbor hood by this appalling discovery was intense. Neighbors flocked to the scene from all quarters, and threats of summary punishment to tho per petrator were freely expressed. A Coroner’s jury was iniiiaiiiieled, but singularly enough rendered a verdict of accidental burning. The citizens not satisfied, however, dispersed through the country in small scout ing parties in search of a elite, at least, to the horrible mystery. A whole week elapsed before any dis closures or the discovery of a single the murderers. 'The eon versa I lon that oeei i rreil in Whitesides’ store, ami the fact that it had been heard by negroes, furnished at least the color of tlie murders and the probable motive for tlie net. Acting on this, a party of scouts on last Knturduj night, 2d instant, arrested in the woods, of Lee county a party of four suspicious looking negroes. There was nothing to indicate that, they were tlie murderers except their suspicious actions In keeping in tlie woods. After being arrested thoy were conveyed to Sin in 11 on and close ly questioned as to their actions du ring the week or ten days previous. One of them, who happened to have just, enough conscience to make a coward of him, made a clean breast of the matter and revealed the names of five confederates who assisted him in hi* terrible work- threoof whom were arrested with him—and also made a detailed confession of the crime, He stated that being,aware of tlie fact that Borum had money, six of them went to his house on tlie Sat urday night iri question, and having railed hill! to the door, tho party set upon him. He drew a pistol and tired, without injuring eitheriif them, however, and then kept them at bay with liis knife. They shot him in tlie head twice and killed him In stantly. They then attacked Mrs. Borum, whom they found in lied, when one of I hem struck her on the fiend with a hatchet, leaving her fur dead. They then killed the negro troy throwing his body near the tire-place. After glutting them selves with murder, they proceeded to ransack the house, in which they found, among other valuables, s7(iu in money, which they carried off with them Having tiled tho house in four places, in order to destroy all traces of their crime, they left look ing the door behind them and leav ing the two children to lie hurried alive. A more coolly planed scheme for murder and outrage cannot well pc imagined, and the indignation created by tiiis confusion was unlimi ted. News of this arrest and confes sion reached West Point last Monday, when a party of about 30, blacks and whites, started forShamion, with the avowed intention of taking the ne groes out of the hands of the author ities and burning them alive, which j they have probably done ore this. !
