BEECHER'S DENIAL.

New YORK, July %. 49, Beecher has
made preliminary statement in reply
to Tilton, denying in toto the charge
of the latter and warmly defending Mrs Til
ton from the accusations of her husband, for
whom (Mrs. t. he says he cherishes pure
feeling, such as gentleman might honorably
offer to Christian woman, and which she
might receive and reclprocate without moral
scruple
He repels with indignation every imputa-
ton which fleets upon her honor or his own
Beecher critically examines Tilton's charges,
and recognizes the reasons which makes it of
tanscendant importance to himself the
church and the cause of public morality that
full answers shall be given to them, and he
looks to the committee of investigation to
search the matter to the bottom and vindi-
cate him. He concludes:
Il do not propose to analyse and contest at
this time, the extraordinary paper of Mr. Til
ton, but there are two allegations which can
not permit to pass without special notice, they
refer to the only two incidents which Mr. Til
ton has witnessed personally. The one an
alleged scene in my house while looking over
engravings, and the other chamber scene in
his own house ; his sentiments concerning
these are absolutely false, nothing of the kind
ever occurred nor any semblance of any such
things.
''They are now brought to my notice for the
first time. To every statement which connects
me dishonorably with Mrs. Elizabeth r. Til
ton, or which in anywise would impugn the
honor and purity OF this beloved Christian
woman, | give the most explicit comprehen-
sive and solemn denial"
The statement of Mrs. Titon will bs made
to the public, and it is understood that il W II
be a complete denial Of the charges made
against Beecher and herself by her husband.
Beecher will prepare fuller reply. to be sub
mitted to the Investigating Committee at as
early date as possible.

THE GRASSHOPPERS.

ST. PAUL, July 23.-Crop reports from all parts
OF the State are at hand: The grasshorpers have
undoubtedly destroyed million and a half
bushels of wheat and are liable to destroy another
half million bushels. Allowing for srasshoppers'
destruction, the whole crop will not be good al
last year in the northern part Of the State.
Weather has been favorable, with plenty of
rain IN the southern part Moisture has been
scarce where very feryent heat has been a rule
Yield in the northern part Of the State Will be
good, probably fully up to the average unless the
weather Of the next ten days proves unpropi.ious.
In the south part of the harvesting has COM
menced or win commence, with general
light yield Of all grain crops.
1t is too soon to make close estimate Of the
wheat yield. Compared with past years allow
ance made for the grasshoppers' devastations in
the southwestern and western portions, the Weld
oi the State may be roughly estimated at 22,000,-
900 to $4,000, 900 bushels. Barley, rye and oats
promise well, although barley has somewhat
shrunhen In the lower counties potatoes are
abundant with no complaint, SO far, of the po-
tato bug. The season has been excellent for hay
in this region. Cattle moderately cheap.

their arms.
No effort whatever has been made by the

MRS. TILrON'S STATEMENT,

NEW YORK, July 23.-Mrs. Tilton's state
ment is published. She begins with the ex-
preston that the imperative necessity which
is forced upon her to pick anew the pains and
sorrow, she had for the last ten years daily
schooled herself to bury, is the saddest act OF
her life.
4 sense Of the version of her life-faith
almost compels her now to stand aside until
God himself delivers her. Yet she sees in the
act Of Ter husband an urgent call which she
shrinks not to reply to in detail To the 22d
article of arraignment she will not attempt at
present to reply.
She solemnly AYERS that long before the
Woodruff publication she knew by insinuation
and direct statements her husband to have
repeated to her very near relatives and friends
