7 Henry c. Bowen sends the following dis
patch:
PUTNAM, Conn, August 8, 1871.
In the dispatches printed in the papers.
to-day appears what purports to be the
substance of an interview of Henry c.
Bowen with reporter of the Brooklyn
Eaqle, on the Brooklyn scandal. l have
had no interview whatever with that or any
other paper or individual. The whole story,
from beginning to end, is a stupendOus
fraud. HENRY c. BOWEN.
General Butler, who is in this city. told a
reporter to- day that he gave no opinion in a
case until he had seen the evidence, and in
this case had seen the evidence.
Questions were to-day asked of a gentle
man connected with the case as to what the
committee proposed to do if MOulton should
offer his statement, but decline to be cross-
questioned. The answer was: The CON-
mittee would then decline to receive MOul-
tons statement at ALL and if MOultOn should
then make public his statement, they would
simply have to go before the country on this
state Of the facts, and let the people decide
the question.
Judge Morris, Tilton's counsel, said to-
day that Mr.. TiltOn had not commenced
his suit against Beecher. The papers will
be served just as soon as they are prepared.
The snit which TiltOn proposes to bring
against Beecher has no reference to the
action OF the committee. Whatever the
action of the committee, it will neither
hasten nor delay the commencement of the
action for moment. In order that there
may be no further question as to the pro-
posed proceedings, the action will be
brought in the Supreme Court, precisely as
was stated. 1t will be an action against
Mr.. Beecher tor criminal connection with
Mrs. TiltOn. The amount claimed will be
in accordance with the magnitude of this
suit, but in this connection, Mr.. Tilton's
purpose in bringing actiontis not to derive
any pecuniary benefit, but simply to vim
dicate his good name against the atrocious
ISLANDERS, to which he has been subjected.
So far as Tilton is concerned. the case will
be pressed for trial at the earliest possible
day. The report of the committee viii have
no effect on Tilton's case at law.
Trouble Among the Bricklayers.
James Kildaff, Thomas Mclaughlin and
john Kingston, three society men of
masons, went to a row of houses being
built on North Sixth street. and commenced
luarreling with the men at work there, who
continued working until SIX o'clock, which
ia AN hour later than the society rules
allow. Kildatf struck two men at work,
named Burke and kneenen, who retaliated
by throwing Kildatf to the sidewalk.
The other two society men had at the same
time got into a fight inside of the building
with other woTkmen.
The fighl gradually worked out TO the
sidewalk, when Kiildarf again joined in
at this time, Daniel SChater, private
watchman, arrived, and seeing "a stranger
in the fight, attacked Kildan with - plas-
terer's hammer, breaking his etui'. from
the effects OF which he died almost in

parties engaged were arrested
Patton & Co.'s Liabilities.
Patton T. Co., in their circular to their
creditors state that the statement OF assets
and liabilities will be made at as early q
mement as possible. The entire assets of
the firm are pledged to the creditors. 1t is
not improbable that the house will resume
business If satisfactory settlement can De
made. The extent TO which other houses
are involved will not, it is believed, result
in additional disasters.
