She cared for Beecher's relations with
Mrs. Tilton. but could aud would show
that he was as much a free-lover as Til

speak out the world will stard aghast
at the hypocracy of Beecher.

the storm yesterday. 1t had been rain
ing with great violence from early morn.
ing till noon, when a cloud burst on the
lofty range of mountains to the east, and
la vast volume of water rushed down the

depth and impetuosity. and the people
of portion of the place we're complete

their foundations and swept away with
their occupants. Ropes were procured,
a line formed, and the brave men, thus
protected, dashed into the torrent and
saved many lives. Only few women
and children We're lost; the body of
one. Mrs. Bray, was recovered. Roger
Robinette, reporter of the Cupel, was
amongst the drowned, and the Cupel

San Francisco. July 27.-The report
of Tilton's discrimination occupies
nearly four columns of the Morning
Call to-day. He gave particulars Of sew
eral acts charged IN the first statement
of the affair in the library. He says he
saw Beecher. while seated on the stoop
and Mrs. Tilton on low stool, put his
hand under her clothing aud caress her
ANGLES and lower limbs. Afterwards
she deni3d it, but finally confessed and
said she had chidden Beecher. He de.
clared that he had never said that his
wife was pure as an angel, but for a
long time endeavored to conceal her
offences from the public.
Of the scene in Tllton's bed-chamber
he says, that when Mrs. Tilton opened
the door, Beecher sat in an easy chair,
vest unbuttoned, and blushing red as a
rose. Mrs. Iilton explained that she
wanted quiet talk with Beecher and
they locked the nselves in the chamber
to avoid interruption from the children.
At the time he accepted the statement
as true. She always insisted to him
tha. she could see nothing wrong in her
intimacy with Beecher. She regarded
Kim as nearly Jesus Christ bimself.
The Daily Graphic gives the outline
of Beeeher's defense. derived from par

the document will be very powerful
and startling one, and will make some
confessions that will excite as great sur

since the beginning of his ministry he
has been beset by letters from women,
expressing great personal admiration
and love for him as minister and a
man. He will show that communca-
tions of this nature are constantly re-
ceived by every noted man in the COM
munity, and that it is special annoy.
ance to clergymen, poets and actors to
be the recipient of these abnormal DEM
opstrations.
After this general statement, Beecher
will allude to the case of Mrs. Tilton,
who, it seems. conceived for him the
most extraordinary passion. Knowing
the lady from childhood. having married
her to her husband, and having been on
terms of close relationship with both,
he was led by strange infatuation to
submit to her Establishments, and an
intimacy was formed which, while it
was not criminal, was reprehensible. or
at least put him in a position which
made him seem to do great wrong to
Tilton. He will confess that both he
and Mrs. Tilton are very emotional and
given to e1aggeration in sentiment. and
that the correspondence between them
was not what should have eristed be-
tween a lady and her pastor; and that
lady the wife of friend. But the facts
of the case were that Mrs. !Tilton COM
