Beecher to visit her secretly This letter was

at the dctation of her husband. Mr.. Moulton
has also number of undated letters from Mr.
Beecher. as the latter until recently was IN tho
habit of putting at the head of his letters the day N

Some of these undated letters are IN reply TO luN-

Beechers guilt. Even those who were at one time luke

An old church member said, with great feeling This
trial and ITS result brought TO beloved

sire TO shield others have endeared him to our hearts
never before. The human weaknesses. without which
he could not be mortal. which the investigation has

THE COMMITTEES VERDICT.

A SUBCOMMITTEE APPOINTED TO PREPARE THR RE.
PoRT-IT WILL BE IL Mr.. BEECHERs FAVOR,
But not PARTISAN.
A member of the Committee said Yesterday that
he thought there would not be any meetings for
several days unless testimony Of importance should
be offered. If Mr.. Mouton would consent 10 give
his full statement and submit TO a across-eXaminaion
il would prolong the work of the Committee. Tho
Committee were ready TO hear and 70 welcome mn
portant testimony on the case from any quarter
The work of preparing the report has been gwen To
asubcommittee-Messrs. Sage. Winsow, and Cleye-
land. They viii probably hold informal consulta-
tons with the other members of the Committee
about the form, nature and contents Of the report
There is a great deal of work to do yet. The i'm
pOrtant parts of the evidence must be sifted ont
Only the important testimony will be published
OF this there is a good deal upon all the important
points of the case except the question of black
mailing. Concerning this probably nobody had
positive knowledge except Mr. Beecher and the per-
sons to whom the money was paid. So no testimony
was received on this point till Mr.. BeecheIs was
given.
This member Of the Committee was Of opinion
that the report wOuld be ready in fortnight or less,
and would be presented at business meeting Of tho
church on the 9th inst. or earlier, although tho
Committee are so weary with their long work, and
there are 80 many members of the church absent
from the city, that there may be longer delay. Tho
report will probably first give the important testl-
mony, will then go over the salient points AMI
finally sum up their conclusions Though It Is adj
mitted by committeeman that the report VIII 10
favorable to Mr.. Beecher they claim that II viii not
be partisan in any sense.

8. If he concludes to purchase and

THE discerning Secretary of the
Democratic Executive Committee, be-
ing anxious about the Congress
sional contest in this District, inquired
on Wednesday, Of a prominent Repub-
lican politician, what the chances were
for Danford? Upon being informed
that so far as heard from he had about
1900 hundred majority. He innocent
ly asked, "Has Monroe been heard
from?" He was told that it had not,
whereupon his countenance lit up, and
he turned away, thinking that when
Monroe was heard from, the tables
would be turned.
