the original, and made a second copy of il

printed it Out of friendship to me. When !

Tfiten DiIates ON Everlasting Woe.
Maverick, who is editor of the BROOKLYN
paper in which the statement first appeared,
received yesterday the following:
Wednesday, July 22.-My Dear Maver-
lex: From no other person, save either YOUR
self as my cOpyiS., or from the committees
shorthand writer, or from some member of
the committee, could my sworn statement
have gone into print. My heart is bowed
and bleeding at seeing these facts spread
before the world. Tell me how could YOU
have taken such responsibility without con-
sulting me in advance. There remains no
possibility of peace or silence, nothing but
everlasting woe. Explain yourself. You
must do il, both to me and to the public.
Yours in grief THEODORE TILTON.

Beecher's Love Letters from "AdOr.
ins'' Women.
\ gentleman whose official business has
led him TO receive and open most OF Beecher's
correspondence, said last evening: sIn
Beacher's love letters you would be sur
prised TO know how foOlishly some women
write to him. Every once in a while a
woman gets a little crazy and writes to
Beecher to tell how much she adores him.
Ihe letters used to 90 to the IitdepeRdeat
Office and TiltOn, under directions from
Beecher, opened them. Many of them he
made copies of, and to-day has manuscripts,
names and copies Of letters, all connected
with respectable ladies who have written to
Beecher all about their love for him. He re-
ceiyeS love letters by the ream and cord and
The Jeke oft
is that as his wife takes care Of all letters
that come to him, she reads his love-letters
before he sees them. Mrs. Tilton's letters
TO Beecher were very affectiOnate and en-
thusiastic, and expressed deep peryading
love Ia him. Mrs. Beecher read them all
before he saw them, and they are all III her
possession now. When the scandal was
first noised about, Mrs. Beecher looked
up the letters, and at Mrs. TiltOn's request
has presented them to her. You
Can't Convince Mrs. Beecher
hat her husband is guilty of anything that
Iilton charges. She saws that if all the
women in creation were to swear that
BeecheE had been unfaithful, she would
not believe them.
