Mr.. Beecher said to-day to a reporter that

He thought he should come out all right, bu:

other parties; also a memoranda Of affairs
not Immediately connected with Mr.. Tilton's
| matters. also from time to time addressed
you confidential notes relating to my own
self, as one friend would write to another.
These papers were never placed in your
hands to be held for two parties, nor to be
used in any way. They were to be held for
me. did not wish them to be subject to the
REX OF loss or scattering from my careless
habits in the matter of preserving documents,
They were to be held for me. In so far as
these papers were concerned you were only
friendly trustee, holding papers subject to
my wishes.
Mr.. Tilton has made deadly assault upon
me and has used letters and fragments of let
ters purporting to be copies of these papers.
Aae these extracts genuine? Are they gar
bled! What are their dates? What, if
any thing, has been left out and put in?
You refuse my demand for these papn-s on
the vairleas pleas that if speak tn, truth in
my statement do not need them, that il |
make a successful use of them it will be an
injury to Mr.. Tilton, and that you as friend
of both parties are bound not to aid either in
any act to injure the other, but l do not de-
sire to injure ano one but to repel an injury
attempted upon me by the use of papers
committed sacredly to your care.
These documents have been seen and cop
led; they have been hawked for sale in New
York newspaper offices; what purport to be
my confidential notes to you are on the mar
ket, but when demand a sight 0of the origi-
nails of papers of which you are only a trus-
tee, that may defend myself you refuse be-
cause you are friend of both parties. Mr.
Tilton has access to your depository for ma
terials with which to strike me, but am not
permitted to use them in defending myself.
l do not ask you to place before the com
mittee any papers which Mr.. 1ilton may have
given you but now demand that you forth
with place before the committee every paper
which have written and deposited with you.

The City Gem meteries.


glance at the hillside cemeteries in this
city, Mt. Vernon and Mt. Pleasant, will show
| the Improvements that have been made upon
| them the past season, by Mr. George B. IIoyt,
the Superintendent of Burials, who seems to
have entered upon his duties With an under
standing of what is needed, and determine
tion to discharge to the letter his important
| trusts. The improvements on the old Mt.
Vernon cemetery are particularly noticeable,
in the removal of the shubbery and under
brush, thinning out the forest Of trees, cut
| ting the grass on the lots, grading the main
avenue, etc. The cemetery has certainly a
more cheerful look Why is it necessary that
a graveyard should be regarded as a solemn,
lonesome place? The new receiving tomb at
the entrance of this cemetery, Is a noble
structure, costing some $500, and having
places for receiving sixty bodies. The tomb
was ready for use in the fall, and when the
spring burials commenced it contained SO
bodies-the harvest of death during the win
ter months. The tomb has been cemented in
the interior, and the roof concreted. A new
I front fence and gateway is needed to this cem-
ctery. 1t is too bad to get along with the
patchwork which has dsgraced the highway
and the cemetery alike.
New lots are being constantly sold and i'm
proved in Mt. Pleasant cemetery, which is
rightly named, as it is one of the most
slightly and pleasant places in the city.
Every part of the cemetery bears evidence of
neatness, care and attention. The new lots
that have recently been laid out and built up,
are very beautiful and regular A casual OBJ
server would notice one marked defect in this
otherwise almost perfect resting place Of the
dead-the absence of shade and ornamental
trees, except in rare instances. With an ex.
penditure Of q couple of hundred dollars
shade trees could be set out regularly on all
the avenues. 1t will require about 225 trees
for that purpose. They should be set out on
a systematic plan, by one person, and no de-
parture made from the plan by individuals
beautifed by having pond OF sivery water
in locality that is quite low, and where the
lots are comparatively worthless. This was
the original plan, but it was never carried out
Should the city wisely decide to authorize
Mr.. lIoyt, the Superintendent, to expend upon
the grounds the money received from the sale
of lots, the most pleasing and satisfactory re-
suits would be obtained.

The State Camp-Meeting.
Successful Inauguration OF the Services
at RichmOnd-A Large Attendance.

| RICHMOND CAMP GROUND, Aug. 5.
The Maine State Camp meeting, for the
promotion of holiness, commenced yesterday.
AS is usual, the opening day was one of prep
aration, and the number of arrivals was large,
from all sections tributary to the meeting
BY evening the larger tents of societies and
companies, on the circle facing the stand,
were ready for occupancy by the proprietors
| of private tents and cottages the day was
| passed in the improvement and ad0rnment OF
| their temporary homes. While the total
number of societies in attendance is full as
| large as in previous years, there have been
| several notable additions to the rapidly ex-
| tending lines Of cottages along the avenues,
| already mentioned in the Journal. The audi
| forum under the canopy of the trees affords
| seating capacity for about three thousand per-
sons, while the tabernacle, for evening SER
| vices and in case of stormy weather, will ac-
| commodate nearly as many.
A social meeting was held in the tabernacle
on last evening, iuaugurating the regular ser
vices of the Association. The Rev. George
Pratt, of the East Maine Conference, Presi'
dent of the State Association, made brief
opening address. He said that the present
meeting had occupied his mind for the past
year, and that it had been the object of daily
prayer on the part of the brethren and sisters
of the two conferences within the State. Ho-
illness to the Lord is the object which it is de-
signed TO promote, not in general but in a
specific manner.
The SECOND DAY.-WEpNEsDAY.
Passengers on the trains of the Maine Cen
tral Railroad who are not OF the campmeeting
community, have been astonlshed during the
past two or three days at the piles OF baggage
| and hundreds of passengers left at the Dres-

Excitement at Squirrel Island.

A sailing party from Squirrel Island, the
other day, were the subjects of good deal of
anxiety on the part of the temporary residents
of the island. The craft in which the party
put out for sail was owned by Capt. John
Sidney, the Scandinavian "King of the
island" and was commanded by Mr.. j. w.
Cross of this city. They sailed to the mouth
of the Kennebec, visited the historic Fort
Popham, and were to return the same day to
the island; the weather being unpropitious,
they put in for a snug harbor over night.
But the islanders were in terrible state
of anxiety over the non-appearance of
the party. The news went back and forth
that they were lost in mid ocean. Wives,
frantic with grief, whose husbands were on
board, began to think about the little matter
of life insurance, and how they were to prove
the death! Search was made to ascertain if
they had left their pocket-books behind! !!
Captain Johnny began to pack his duds to 60
to Portland, for the purpose of claiming the
insurance on his craft Reynolds and others
were despatched to Bath by the next steamer
to learn, if possible, the worst; but with a
clear day and fair breeze the next morning,
the party hoisted anchor and made for Squirrel
island, where they arrived safely. The ter
rible spell was broken, and all voted Capt.
Cross to be a safe commander.

Illicit Distillery.

Our readers may remember that in the
Daily of July 4th, We published an account
| of the seizure of a rum mill in Windsor, this
county, the case having been carefully worked
up by Gen. Connor, collector OF this district,
| and his faithful Deputy, J. L. Stoddard, Esq.
An article in a recent issue of the Portland
Argus, in speak ing Of the arrest of James
Brown and Dominck VIM, the guilty par
ties in the affiir, rather conveys the impress
sion that the matter was worked up by the
Portland officers, which is not true. Deputy
Marshal Marble knew nothing of the case
until he had been informed by Mr.. Stoddard
where the still was, and had made raid on
it, an account of which was published in the
Journal, as we have stated above. Since that
time the officers here have been looking up
evidence to ensure the conviction of Brown
for running the distillery, and of Wipn for
conspiring to defraud the United States in
aiding Brown in his business. VIM was not
arrested for operating a distillery, as stated
in the Argus, but for conspiracy.
After the case had been handsomely work.
ed up here, Gen. Connor notified the U. S.
District Attorney, and he sent Deputy Mar
shal Marble to arrest the parties. So there
were really no matters to be "worked up" by
the Deputy Marshal; all he had to do was to
arrest the two men wherever he could find
them.
1t is highly creditable to Gen. Connor ard
his deputy that they have shown great sagac-
ity in ferreting out these parties, and it is not
right that the honor should be given to others.

The Judge spent most of the forenoon in
the effort to find parties ready for trial, but
the effort was unavailing. The trial docket
for this term has wholly broken down. Meth
er parties ltigant, ner their counsel, nor the
jurors, seem inclined to spend much time in
the court room at this season OF the year.
With many farming operations are more urg-
ent, whilst few who can devote a brief space
to much needed recreation, desire to improve
this delightful weather for that purpose. The
court will remain open until the grand jurors
are ready to report, when the Judge will
come in to discharge them, and then adjourn
till Monday, and commence the trial of the
criminal docket. Both traverse juries have
been excused until next week.
