Tilton Refutes Tilton.

Tilton t~estifes that at an unexpected
meeting with Mr.. Beecher at Moultoh's
house 'on the day after the apology was
written MIR. Beecher came in, burst out
in an expression of great sorrow to me,
''and said he hoped the communication he
had sent to me by Mr.. Moulton was sat
"isfactory to me. He then and there told
"Mr. Moulton he had done wrong, not so
much as some others (rete7ring to has WJe
''aoho had made statements to Mr.. Bowen
that ought to be unmade), and he there
volunteered to write q letter to Mr..
Bowen concerning the facts which he
had misstated." Did Mrs. Beeeher then
have a larger share in her husbands adul-
terry with Mrs. Tilton than he himself had.
Mr.. Beecher in his letter of contrition
said II will die before anyone but myself
shall be inculpated'--a phrase inconsis-
tent with the Grim. con. theory. Tilton's
own testimony as to the next days meet
ing and the spoken apology is conclusive
proof that the crime was not adultery.
Mr. Beecher chad done wrong not S,
much as some others, referring to his wife.
These are Tilton's own words. They ex-
plain that phrase in the contrition letter
which is inconsistent with the crim.-con
theory, aud explain the letter itself. Til
ton thus destroys the only formidable
looking link in the chain of his. forging

The Brooklyn Union reports Tilton as
saying iaAe ''
"My sdvice to the Examining Committee and the
lawyers ia 10 stick to the one point, an. that is to
pr0re Mr.. Beechers innocence ....tf'.
The business of Tilton was to proUe Mr..
Beecher's guilt, or not to lave charged it.
aud defled the public chronicles with his
tale. The remark imputed to him shows
his condition of mind. He expects MIR.
Beecher to prove a negative. Suppose he
accused Rev. DR.. Storrs of specific or mis-
c~ellaneous larcenies aud were then to say
Now prove your innocence Tlton has
| charged adultery, and as if it were not
enough, now declares his intention to keep
charging it against Mr.. Beecher. he has
thus far furnished nc proofs. The engrav-
ing scene and chamber scene he is unable
to define 10 point of time. They are de-
MED by Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Triton ut
terly. IF true they are no proofs of adul-
tery. The alleged confession Of Mrs. Til
ton she denies. The sin confessed by Mrs.
| Tilton in the Schoharie Catherine-Gau
letter is defined in the very confession in
terms which exclude the idea OF adultery.
| The paper given by her to MIR. Beecher
| TO protect him before a council of minis
ters' against any accuser but her husband,
| explicitly afirms that even her husband
| had no true accusation to bring against
| him as a Christian or q gentleman, and
even Tilton does not charge his wife with
thinking that a gentleman might violate
the hospitality of his friend,o a Christian
disobey the seventh commandment. The
letters of MIR. Beecher himself are all that
remain to support the indictment. They
are six in number. All of them are con-
sistent with the no crlm.-con. theory. Two
of them are consistent with either theory.
-Four of them are utterly inconsistent with
the Grim. -con. theory. So much for what
Tilton presents as proofs. They indeed
prove a wrong done, uper-abundant con
triton, imprisoned sorrow, and that the
wrong was condoned. Tilton's testi-
mony as to the next days meeting with
Beecher proves the wrong not to have been
adultery.
If Tilton has further evidence it is
strange that he should not make haste to
produce it. But instead he makes reiter-
ated allegations. If Mrs. Tilton confessed
adultery to Susan b. Anthony, or Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, why does he not ask the
Plymouth Committee to summon them to
the witness stand? If he can prove that
Mr.. Beecher confessed adultery to MIR.
Moulton, why does he not ask the Ply
mouth Committee to summon him to the
witness stand? Mr.. Beecher has told ev-
erybody that they may publish his letters,
unsealed everybody's lips, including Moul-
tons. What could an innocent man do
more F.? The burden of proof is on Iilton
and he does not appear to know tn. \.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Tribune,
referring to the Proctor-Moulton settle
ment, says: Moulton had no character
to lose, and the character of Miss Proc

will be surprise that dirty fellow like
Moulton could in spite OF most earnest
protests. warnings, and tho fullest OF.

fame OF pure woman into bis foul

to inexpressible agony by the mere pay.
ment Of legal costs.
The Times says there can be only one
opinion about the case, viz: That Moul.
ton committed wanton indecency in
dragging Miss Proctor's name and char.
acter into his statement at all. The
apology which he made yesterday. under
pressure, was for an offsnss which he
had no motive at all to commit, except
the motive of injuring his enemy. who
was not the plaintiff in the case.

WHAT artful dodgers are these protec-
tionists. They know that protection, as
it is falsely called, is merely laying an
onercus tax upon the whole country for
the benefit of few rich manufacturing
corporations. They also know that their
so-called doctrines are daily falling in
the popular estimation. Knowing all
this, they have got decoy duck in the
person Of Senator Sherman of Ohio to
cook up neat little commission to re-
port amendments of the tariff. which,
by the aid of the President, the Senate
and the present Congress will have a
nice little protectionist majority. What
pretty scheme, and how characteristic
