Nkw York, July I. Beeoher'a counsel hasltate to accept Beeober's request tbat tbe Jury be notlded of Loeder's perjury, In what ever form or terms tbe former should pre aoribe.

A large num ber of distinguished guests, Including the Lord Mayors of London and York, were present. The Irish riflemen admit the sup eriority of the Amoricaos throughout the match, and acknowledge tbeir victory was fairly won. Tbe American team used breech loaders, and tbe Irish team all used Rlgby miuzls loaders. Luncheon was taken In chagrin end out spoken dissatisfaction, and symptoms of dis organization were maoiiestea. ine crowa, which had manifested intense anxiety as to tbe result, had now grown to about 30,000. Every Irish bulfceye was cbeered, a distur bance becoming imminent, and the police powerless. vr, Hamilton aaaressea ine crowa. xue Americans refused to proceed with firing un til order was restored. Every gentleman on the ground now became a policeman. Tbe disorder can bardly be exaggerated. A de lay of thirty-five minutes resulted, when par tial order was restored. At tbe 1,000 yards range, the Irish were dJected aud nervous, and shot wildly. A succession of shots firovod merely random. Milnor inlised his bird shot, tbe crowd groaning vociferously. Whon lie misled the ninth the uproar tin tbe Irish side of tha ground was tremuiiunuj Tbe eleventh sbntiie lujed, nho, producing consternation. Hamilton scored a Auccesslon ot three, and blanwd tbe crowd for hii lack of auctv'a. Kverybody eemed to be in bad temper. Tiie ropes were broken by the Irish near the clone, Fulton and Bodioe not yet having shot. Pulton mlsacd tbe targt through the disorder. The crowd cheering, rushed nun as the ground, causing great con fusion. Boline quietly takes bis position for the last shot; the crack of bis ritU is heard and his bullet flattens tbe bullseye. Tre mendous cheers are given for tbe Americans bv tbe crowd en masw. The police stand firm around the teams with tbe crowd on tbe outside standing sturdy and ill-humored, bat not towards tbe Americaus. Major Leech addressed the Americans and surrounding mass, aud declared himself beaten and tbe Americans the brst shots in tbe universe. Hh then called lor cheers for Col. Gilder sleeve aud his men, wbloh were not very heartily given, but when called for by a man in the crowd tbey were given with tremen dous enthusiasm, tbe crowd bursting in to shake bands with the Americans and their ladies, amid vociferous cheering. Col. Gil dersleeve called for cheers for tbe Irish team, nut mere came no response except irom Americans present. All the Irish team blame something on each other, and the whole population Is positively fierce with them. Tbe Lord Mavors of London. Dub lin and York, on tbe ground, congratulated tbe victors. Tbe Americans wjre extremely popular before tbe contest and are much more so now, and their calmness, modesty and self-reliance are extolled everywhere. The at -rs and stripes are displayed from a thousand bouses to night, and tbe streets are crowded. Tbe popular Joke to-nlgbt Is that Kngland Is right in not allowing the Irish to carry arms since they can make such poor use of them. Brookln, Julys.

The following card from Moulton appears in the Aroud)U morning: TolboKJiior Sir: The New York TrittHne, a paper published In the luteiest or UeeuUer, published this morning tbe following para graph: "Tbe evidence or J.

Francis D. Moulton. A OkieM reporter learned from a semi-authoritative source tbat when the jury retired they stood seven to five, seven being for Beecber. four for Tilton and one doubtful. though leaning to Tilton. Tbis doubtful one afterwards came over to Beecber, and on tbe second ballot It stood eight to four, eight for Beecher and four lor Tilton. When tbe evi dence was requested and sent up, one of the lour, after its examination, went over to Beecher's side. On final ballot thev stood -nine to three, nine for Beecher and three for Tilton. Nkw York, July 3 In regard to tbe Til-ton-Beecber trial. Pesreall. of counsel for Tilton, to-day said he could give no iulorma tion in regard to the further movements in case, and returned tbe same answer to a specific inquiry as to the trutu of tbe report tbat an attempt would be made by Tilton to nave j racy inaic&oa ior perjury. anearman saia ne Delleved there was no foundation for the reuort tbat measures would be taken to arrest Monltou in connection with tbe Loede-Priee affidavits. Beaoh says the disagreement Is as good as a verdict of six cents, wbicb was all tbat WB8 ever aimed at, inasmuch that It shows Tilton haa relieved himself of tbe calumny and aspersion tbat found early vent In Ply- iuuuvu cuurou circles, in investigating couv atittees and in Bacon's letters. Beecher looks upon tbe result of the trial as giving him all the vindication it wan in the power of tbe cobrt to give. For his chief vindication be looks to the future. "I am," said be, "good lor 20 years' work yet, and before that Is done malice will have spent itself, ignorance will have become informed, and misconceptious of character will be cor rected." Being asked wbat he thought of ine malignity uispiayea Dy some of his min isterial brethren, Beecher made many excu ses for tbejr conduct, aud added, "If I strike oacK x snail never strike but once. 1 don't watit to quarrel, and I shan't if I can avoid it, but 1 don't by any means propose to be led like a lamb to the slaughter."
