PARIS. Aug There was a violent
scene in the Assembly to-day. Galloni
d'Istria, Bonapartis., Yesterday used
the expression that the Republic had
succumbed before the scorn of honest
men. To-day he was challenged by
members of the left to repeat the words,
which he did; whereupon Victor Schod-
cher Republican, gave him the lie, and
several deputies from the left rushed
toward him. shouting and shaking their
fists. The President of the Assembly,
unable to restore order, suspended the
sitting. 1t is probably that several du-
els will follow.
A permanent committee of the Assem-
bly,, which is to sit during the recess,
has been elected. It is composed of SIX
Legitimatist, 10 members of the moder-
ate right and left centre, and 8 of the

New York, Aug. 1.-The Tribune loses
hope of Beecher's ability to explain his
letters, just in proportion as that explain
alton is delayed. 1t admits that its
sympathies have been entirely with the
great preacher, but it says delays are
dangerous and that Mr.. Beecher's S
friends have been already too tardy. A
full and convincing statement will still
satisfy the demands of the decent pubs

and more convincing than would have
been necessary last week.
The Sun calls for Moulton and says il
he is not heard from it will be believed
that for sop,e reason he dare not testify.
The World demands OF Tilton more
proof and thinks the public ought to
exact it of him.
Moulton has not yet returned. Gen.
Tracy to- day said he could not believe
that Monlton had gone to Europe. A
reporter called on Tilton to-day at his
residence, who said, without waiting for
any questions: do not ask me any
questions. I have nothing to say of or
for myself. Nothing that I would care
to place before the public. Let every
thing rest now. am weary. All. all

learned that another witness whose tes,
timony is considered of great value, has
testified before the Committee to the
same effect-that Tilton had included
other men besides Mr.. Beeeher in his
charges of adultury with his wife. Mrs
Tilton said her husband had sort o1
mania for dinging in her ears his belief
that Beecher was guilty. He used re
