NEW \ ORK, - unes s24.--A6 Jne consuICd-
ton on Tilton's letter, last evening, by the
Rey, Henry Ward Beecher and several
friends, Mr. Beecher is reported to have
said that personally he was opposed to say
ing anything publicly in reply to Tilton' 5
charges He believed the only effect Of
utterance would be to prolong the discus
sion of the case, while, if silence was pre-
served, the end would be speedily reached.
He assured the gentlemen that his bearing
toward the silent policy was in no waV
caused by any fear of consequences to him
self by discussion His desire was simply
to get out of the difficulty with as little in
jury to others as possible. He knew by
speaking he could end the matter 50 far as
he was personally concerned, but he also
thought that continued silence on his part
would shortly have the same effect, and,
entertaining that opinion he could see
nothing to be gained by any demonstration.
PROF. RAYMOND,
admired the torebearance Mr.. Beecher
had all along exhibited in this matter, and
was sure the congregation did the same,
but he thought it questionable whether for
bearance had not now ceased to be viz
tue. Ii was, he knew, Christian duty to
be magnanimous, but the question in his
mind was whether pusilanimily and mag
nanlmity were convertible terms in this
connection.
MR.. SHEARNAN,
lawyer and clerk Of the church, said that
if it were necessary to say anything in re
ply to Tilton it cound be said very briefly
The whole matter was involved in apollo
getic letter, and he thought all that wai
necessary was to show, as could be easily
done that the letter cited by Tilton wa
never written by MIR. Beecher, and moth
ing resembling it exists.
MR. BEECHER
| then remarked that they would be IN ;
better condition to determine what ough
to be done week hence, and since he say
no immediate necessity for action, h
thought it would be just as well to give tn
question a week s calm consideration befor
determining anything. In that spirit th
