The Great Scandal.

New YORK, July 30.
Mr.. Bcechcr spent the day yesterday ut
home on Brooklyn Heights. In the even
| ing he walked out with friends, and paid a
visit to house on Montague street. In
conversation with some friends after re-
turning from his evening walk, he made
several humorous illusions to the invest-
eating committee and the efforts of report
ers to obtain information. A great ma
jority of those who take an interest in the
case, he is of opinion, believe him innocent;
and he asserts that in a few days at most it
will be made clear to all the world that the
charges preferred against him are without
foundation.
WHAT SUSAN II. ANTHONY TOLD HER
BROTHER.
A I.eavenworth, Kansas dispatch says
Col. Anthony, brother of Susan b. Anthony
states that his sister Informed him year
ago that when she was guest in Tilton's
house violent domestic scene occurred.
She retreated to her own room TO avoid it,
and was presently followed by Mrs. Tilton.
The two women bolted the door, placing
the bedstead against it to keep Mr.. Tilton
on the outside. Mr. Titon accused her of
adultery with Beecher, and she replied
with the accusation that he had
procured an abortion for Il young
lady in Brooklyn, whom he had scduced,
calling the lady by name. That night Miss
Anthony and Mrs. Tilton slept together,
and during conversation the latter in
seeming mental distress impaired the secret
Of guilty intrigue with Beechcr. Miss
Anthony asked how she came to yield to
force, to which Mrs. Tilton replied that no
force was used, she yielding without know
ing why she did so. She averrcd that
Beecher treated her with the kindness he
would Il child She resolved many times
to yield no more but as often her good
resolutions failed This is the whole sub
stance of Miss Anthony's story as related
to her brother. He is of the opinion that
his sister will not testify IN the case unless
compelled to do so in court.
WOODRUFF. SPEAKS.
Mrs. Woodruff concludes areyiew of the
Beecher-Tlton affair us follows Il have
the power, think, to compel Mr. Beccher
to go forward and do the duty for human
ity, from which he shrinks and | believe
that when forced to the encounter he will
rise to the height of the great enterprise,
and will astound and convince the world of
the new doctrine of freedom, by the depths
of his experience and the force of his argu-
ments 1t is Mr. Beechcrs friends who
have managed the affair May it not come
out, after all, that Mr.. Bcechcr has been
consistent in his own acts? | com
nit no breach of confidence, as no
confidence has been made in me,
except AS have compelled them, with
free knowledge that was cndeavoring to
induce or to force the parties to come to the
front along with me in the announcement
and advocacy of the principles Of the social
revolution, Messrs. Beecher and Tilton and
other halfway refOrmers. Let me add that
in my view, Mr.. Beechcr is to-day AS good,
as pnre, as noble man as he ever was in the
past, or as the world has held him TO be,
and that Mrs. Titon is still the pure,
charming, cultured woman and | know
that Mr. Beechcr, passing through this
crucial ordeal, retrieving himself, and
standing upon the most radical platform,
will gather around HIM an army of glo-
rious and emancipa,ed spirits, and that the
new social republic will have been forever
| established"
