New York August 2.--The Herald to-day
| publishes lengthy editorial on the Beecher-
| ISlton scandal, and makes some matter-of-fact
| and sensible suggestions. 1t refers to the at
| titude taken by some of the country press
| against the papers of this city, intimatlng
| that the object of the New York papers is to
| destroy Triton and save Beecher no matter at
what sacrifice of truth or Justice. 1t says the
| truth is that so far as the city press is con-
| cerned without any desire to shield Beecher
| or do injustice to his antagonist there has been
| a wish to give a clergyman of worldwide fame
| for genius and virtue the benefit of the doubt
| until circumstances no longer admit of doubt.
| There would be little to tempt anyone TO life
| effort and self-denial if in a day, by unfound-
| ed accusation, by successful Islander and per
| sistent calumny, the results of such HE
| could be overthrow. There was no motive
| for Tilton's war upon Beecher but his own cold
| and deliberate purpose to destroy man whom
| he regarded as his enemy forever If the Of
| Tense he now charges against Beecher is true
| Tilton condoned and accepted his apology, as
| q man of honor could no longer have in it a mo-
tive for strife. What the country asks is not
| that Beecher would deny Tiltons charges, but
| that he would explain his own self-condem-
/, ming letters. These letters stand in the way
| of belief in Beechers innocence. The coun-
| try wants plain, brief statement that willtell
| truth, so that there shall be no doubt of the
| truth. No man on this earth knows better
| than Beecher how to write or speak the truth
| the truth he must stand or fall.
The Herald claims that if Tilton wants TO
establish his cause, he should enter upon a
| legal proceedings. II the matter is not taken
to the courts, it considers that Beecher is a
victim of a conspiracy of blac kmailers. and adj
vises that Tilton be arrested for defamation of
character, and argues that Beecher has no
other resourse than to have him arrested on
this charge. 1t is no longer a church quarrel
but subject affecting and morals. and one OF
interest to every citizen. If Beecher is inno-
cent let that fact be made manifest if not
We cannot know the sad truth to soon. In con-
clusion, it hopes that before another Sunday
we shall have an end of the present suspense.
No new developments have been made to-
day. MoultOn has not returned. He is some
where in New England, and is believed to be
in the neighbOrhOOd of Portland, Maine.
An intimate friend of Mrs. Woodhull's states
that the refusal of the committee to receive
her damaging evidence against Beecher has
relieved her of all responsibility in the mat
ter, and that she now feels at liberty to publish
all the facts in her possession. These facts
will be published after the report of the pro
ceedings of the committee has been made
public.
