THE BEECNER TLLT0N CASE.

| NEW YoRK, Aug. n-rhe ribilne says, n,
| speaking OF Moulton's statement: Certainly it
il very far from j,stifFinG the .ars OF Beechers
| friends, OF exiltant prophecies OF his enemics
The Witness who was s1ppCr,ed to hold he Ike,
OF the situation leaves the posture CT affairs sub
| stantially unchanged Those who believed in
Beechers innocence before viii believe in it still.
| Those who waited FOR further Development s
| must be content u wait d while longer
1t is evident that the assaiiant- have discharged
their worst rlssles % TIE opening If The engage
| ment, meanwhile the Gaso remains e.s before.
The patient public has followed 1t So long with
sorrowtul curiosity. Incredible Heaknesscs have
! been disclosed in it, and terrible plumbers have
been made by the defense at every stage Of its
| progress.
But we mistake the wisGCm aid Justice of to-.
people if the great preacher and beloved pastor
| is condemned without much stronger evidence
than r. u. Mon ton seems able to pToCtlce.
The Times refused to publish the statement, "a
| it cannot see that it throws any new hgh on the
| DISMAL affair to which it relates.
The HMld says not one item OF actual evil
dence or trustworthy testimony hos been brought
forth by MOllltOn, which ADDS difficulty or
! Inconsistency 10 the explanation already pnS
forth by BeecLer in his narrative ana croes-
examination.
The He3nd in the conclusion OF Z. long article
says: We fam would have beloved the erea
clergyman had never fallen; would fam be-
leve 1t noe II We could s.e any possible way by
which he could escape out OF these meshes winch
blnd him
Moulton, pressed to speak by the onslaughts OF
Beecher and Beechcr,s friends, has spoken at
last, and panied as We sye ut the result, We can
not disregard the fact that the plymouth pastor
Is crushed unless this terrible witness against
him can be shown to DC monster CT yillainy,
dupliclty, and fislsehood.
The SIN says MouIton produces nothing that ~
equivalent to confest,on IT adultery On the part
OF Beechcr, and his explanation Of .he black
mailing feature is not satisfactory.
He shows, however, that up to the very hast
moment, in fact up to July Ii, 1874, long after
Beccher had discovered that he had been black
mailed, he was writing hum letters OF the most
atfectionatc and confidential character
We do not see that this statement Will change
anybOdy's opinion upon the gu ston.
New York Aug. 70 A Brooklyn pa,ssr Of this
afternoou, publishes the testimony before the
Beecher xamining Commlttet, oy riitH's adopt
ed daughter. otherwise Known as Bessie.
Sine said that she lived in Tilton's family eight
years; that Mrs. Tton WIS Ike mother to her;
that When she went to them in 1863 tnoir married
ie was very happy, but tltt il. 1865 she observed
a change in rilCous dtneanor; that he war fss-
tldious, irritable and at times, pnsociGbic; that
Mrs. Iilton vas alway - 9 lovely md anable
disposition, and always greeted her husband al

The Post says editorlally we are eredibI !
informed that befor, Mr.. Beeohcl Jeff Brooklyn
on his present journey to the Waite Mountains
he expressed his deterlnna ton 81 bring quits at
all events against Ititon, and also Mouton, in
