THE BEECHER I1LT0N scandal.
Queer Letter from Tilton.


Tie Brooklyn Eagle publishes singular
letter from Mr.. Theodore Tilton in regard to
the Woodhull-ClaHin charges against Mr..
Beecher, In which q member Of Mr.. Tilton's
family was attempted to be scandalized. The
letter does not amount TO either denial or
confession of the charges, and is exceedingly
doubtful il Its construction. 1t Is addressed
to ia complaining friend" and alludes 10 the
story as whole library of statements that
would be strange il some OF them were not
correct. The Eagle chare- "rizes 1t as 'vague,
fast, and loose. ".in It's melnod. Mr.. Tilton says:
To give general denial to such an encyclo-
p@iia of assertions would be as vague and
Irrelevant as to take mp the Police Gazette,
with ils twenty-tour pages Of Items, and say,
"This lis all lie." So extensive q libel re-
quires Of answered at ally a special denial of

in this particular Gaze, net only denial of
things misstated, but truthful explanation
of other things that remain unstated and In

met at all) should be confronted and con-
founded by the true one.
Now, my friends, you urge me to speak, but
when the truth is sword, Gods mercy some
times commands 1t sheathed.
II you think do not burn to defend my vile
and little ones you know not the fiery spirit
within me. But my wife's heart is more
fountain of charity, and quenches all resent
ments. She says, s'Let there be no suffering
save to ourselves alone" and torbids vindi-
cation to the injury of others. From the be-
ginning she has stood with her hand on nv
lips, saying '.Hush.w So when you prompt
me 10 speak for her you counteract her more
Christian mandate of silence.
Moreover. after all, the chief victim OF the
public disp!easure is myself alone, and 30 long
as this is happily the case I shall try with pa
tience 10 keep my answer within my own
breast, lest 1t shoot forth like thunderbelt
through other hearts.

Why leave the HarbOr Of Washing tom
out I'm the Cold

Annually large appropriations are made by
Congress for harbOr improvements. &C.,
throughout the country, many Of them OF doubt
ful utility, but which find their way into the bill
under the log-rolling process by which tn mern-
her from Mud creek gets an appropriation for
dry-dOcS in his bayou, by voting for sppropria-
tions for dry-dOcks and harbor improvements,
for s,OUghs and bayOus Ia Che districts of etler
members. The harb0r of Washington, in which
the government is 50 deeply interested by reason
Ct it, navy yard and arsenal, gets no annual
appropriation, simply because we have no yot-
ing representation IN Congress to take a hand in
the l's-TOlling process This seems any
tEing but fair, and We trust the pres
'ht Congress viii not continue the un-
JUst discrimination against our harbor
Yesterday, MeSSrs. John W. Garrett and j
Hall Peasants, OF the commission in charge OF
the expenditures for deepening the channel and
approaches to The haTb1r OF Baltimore visited
Washington, for the purpose of urging upon the
House committee on commerce. the propriety of
an additional appropriation Of 500 900 for these
improve ments. These gentlemen were accom-
panied by Ron. W. j. Albert. member OF Con
eresS elect from the fifth district, and Hon.
Thomas Swami, Representative for the fourth
Congressional district. Dir. Garrett set forth
that the 100000 appropriated by Congress last
wear, a well the 500 90 subsequently, appro-
PTiated by the city OF Baltimore, would all be
expended in about two months, and urged the
FTOPriety of Congress extending further assist
anee- lie dwelt upon the great Importance 81
Baltimore az seaport, and referred to her rap
lilly growing foreign commerce, and her far
reaching railroad connections, extending to all
the great cities of the west, northwest and
southwest.
All this IS very true, but is equally true of the
harbor OF W ashington. with the addition that it
II matter of great Importance to the govern
ment that the harbor of Washington should be
put in good condition.
