New YORK. June 30.-Theodore Tilton
in an interview to-day, spoke as follows;
In reference to Mr. Beecher's letter of
apology, every word of it is Beecher's
own composition, and signed by himself
| in his own behalf. ! did not demand
this apology, from the fact that it was
sent to me unasked for, and it always
added to the reluctance with which |
subsequently contemplated making my
defense against Beecher. The course by
which he permitted his church to indict
me before the council, and by which the
church and counsel together with DR..
Bacon superadded, have fallen upon me
| like mill stone to crush me to powder.
The remainder OF the letter bore more
heavily upon him than the portion which
quoted. Had printed the whole, his
friend Tracy would not have said l am
glade OF Tilton's publication.
Reporter -" Many persons believe

have explained away the first part.
Titon--"If so, then Mr. Beecher is
entitled to have it published. 1t is il
his power to publish it at any moment
Reporter-"Has he a copy OF it?'
Tilton-"I presume he retained one
but if he did not, he has only to ask me
for copy, and he shall have it."
CHICAGO, June 30.-The Iowa Rail
road law. which is similar 10 the Wiscon
sin one, and which goes into effect OIL
the LIST of July, is greatly agitating the
minds OF the railroad managers in thi.
city whose lines lead through Iowa
There are four roads in this city-th,
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, thu
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, the Chi
cago and Northwestern, and the Illinoi
Central-all of which will be serious
ly affected by the new law. As yet n,
definite arrangements have been made il
regard to any joint action by these roads
but it is almost certain that they vii
make but little resistance. The Chicag'
and Northwestern and the Chicago ant
Rock Island will issue freight tariff il
few days to correspond with the new
law, and the Chicago, Burlington ant
Quincy and the Central are a
the present time undecided wha
course to pursue, but will undoubtedl.
follow the example Of the other roads
as their roads run almost parallel, AM
have several competing points. In re
gard to passenger rates, which, unde
the new law, will be three cents mile
the general ticket agents Of the abov
lines held meeting yesterday afternoon
at the Office of the Chicago and Roc
Island, but no unity of action could b
secured. 1t was therefore decided tina
the Chicago and Rock Island would sub
NIT to the law, and charge but thre
cents mile, while the other three road
would continue to charge the old rates
except to the points were there is CON
petition. The managers of the Chicag
and Rock Island road claim that the
are in delicate position. because, whe
the Legislature of Iowa gave them an e1
tension of time on their land grant,
was on condition of a clause being in
serted that they would accept the Dow
amendment, which provides that tn
Legislature should have full power t
regulate the rates of freights and fares
1t is questioned whether the law can b
enforced as framed, though the Attorne
General of Iowa has given his opinio
that it can.
New YORK, June 30.-A Times Wis
cousin letter shows that the railroads ar
failing to execute their threats to ceas
to operate their roads or ignore station
where the new law was attempted to b.
enforced. While the writer thinks tn
