anything in reply TO Tilton it conld be SAID
very briefly. The " hOle matter was involved
in an apologize letter, and he thought
all that was necessary was 10 snow, as
could be easily done, that the letter cited
by T1lton was never written by Mr. Beeceher
and that nothing resembling il exists. Mr..
Beecher remarked that they would all be In
a better condition to deteIm what Dug MT
to be done a week hence, and since he saw
no immediate necessity for action, ne
thought it would be just as well to give The
question weeks calm consideration
before determining anything. In that
spirit the cornell dissolved. +.
B. Carpenter, the artist, whom
Tilton speaks Of in connection with prop
osition to raise the means 70 send himself
and family to Europe for a few years, has
been interviewed. Carpenter says: "A few
DAYS after the adjournment of the council
had occasion to call upon Mr.. Beecher al bis
house in connection with matter wholly
disconnected with this scandal. In the
course of some friendly conversation 1
mentioned the fact TO Mr. Beecher that Til
ton had Just finished his book in
which he had been engaged for
year. / added the excitement OF the
council had depressed him considerably,
and that am in common with several OF
his friends wished he could go to Europe.
Mr.. Beecher said he thought 1t would be an
excellent thing for him to do. In reply to that
said that recent business embarrassments
stood in the way, to which Mr.. Beecher
answered that If Tilton desired TO go to
Europe the means would be provided. L
did not understand from anything said by
Mr. Bsecher that he made this
prop sition in order to secure Mr..
Tilton's silence In regard to the scandal.
The matter only came up incidentally L
had not gone to Mr.. Beecher on this subject,
and he could hardly have expected that l
would bring it up. / told Mr.. Tilton what

greatly. slthou- b it was long time after
wards that learned that he had written to
Mr.. Beecher about the thing"
BEECHER'S SERMON YESTERDAY.
NO REFERENCE To TILToN-AN OVATION TO
BEECHER.
NEW YORK. June 28,-Perhaps the largest
congregation ever seen IN Plymouth church,
attended this morning, an announcement
having been made that Mr.. Beecher would
preach his last sermon previous TO MS sum
mer vacation. After the regular inirodue-
tory services, Mr.. Beecher read the fifty
fourth chapter of Isaiah, taking as the text
of his sermon the fifth verse thereof. From
the beginning to the close of his discourse,
the greatest attention was paid. The
regular attendants were we'll pleas
ed and the crowd of curious people
heard good sermon, but looked somewhat
disappointed as there was no reference made
by Mr.. Beecher to the letter of Theodore
Tilton. When the services were over, the
members of Plymouth Church and a number
of strangers crowded up to the platform
whereon Mr.. Beecher stood, and a general
Handwriting, which continued for some
time, took place. Mr.. Beecher looked his
pleastantest and evidently the thunderbolt
/ has not struck him. When he had shaken the
hsnds of all who could get within reach and
had listened to the kind expressions of the
more distant, Mr.. Beecher left the church.
