George sIfred TOwnsend on the scandal.
We condense from the four-column-
and-a-half telegraph dispatch of Mr..
George Alfred Townsend to the Chicago
Tribune, on the eighth instant, the fol-
lowing very important resume of his
interview with MOulton, Morse and
Tilton. 1t proves Mrs. Tilton wantOn
and Beecber beyond question to be II
brute: -s,s . vfs
Mr.. Tilton, Judge Norris and myself
took carriage and drove to the sea-
shore, six miles distant. We were gone
all that afternoon. I put lawyer and
man under IS close an examination as
was compatible with our relations and
my knowledge of TiltOn's nature. Mr..
Tilton never fiinched. MIR. Morris's
heart was in his defense. Such story,
so related, it would be impossible for me
10 repeat. The substance of it shall
give you. We returned to Brooklyn,
and Mr.. Tilton and myself sat up till
midnight, still laboring over the same
theme, and finally were the only two
tenants Of the cottage, except Katie, the
old servant.maid. We retired about one
o'clock, and arose and breakfasted to-
gether.
MR.. MoULTON SAID TO ME
another day: "Gath, Icannot speak of
anything material as to what ] shall
have to say, but this tell you as be-
tween Beecher and Tilton in their
behavior under fire. TiltOn is
infinitely the larger, more self
reliant, more reliable man. I never
heard him lie, and Beecher has been ly-
ing during the whole of this controver-
sy. He began it with an act Of treaeh-
cry, confessing his adultery with Eliza
beth to me, asked me to walk with him
round to Tilton's house, and, going in
there, the husband being absent, he ex-
torted from Elizabeth a retraction of her
confession. With this in his pocket, he
walked back to my house, and then ask
ed me to walk to his, and while talking
despair and contrition all the way. he
suli held that piece of paper In his
pocket"
Said | to Mr.. Moulton: tsIs it true
that you got that back by presenting a
| pistol at his head?v
He said: mo; but as soon as Theo-
dore told me that Elizabeth had sc-
knowledged writing that retraction
went round to Mr.. Beecher's and in.

The Collyer-Edwards fisticuf Tues
day progressed to the eleventh round,
when Edwards's second was accused of
using ointment on Edwards's hands that
would affect his adversary's eyesight,
and the fight was brought to prema-

no definite result was reached. 1t was
thought, however, that Collyer would
be awarded the fight and Edwards the

THE LANDING OF WHITE REINFORCE

THE LANDING OF WHITE REINFORCE
MENTs AT sHOOFLY.
HELEEA, August I2.-At Bennett:
landing passengers from Austin came
on board the White and informed US
that the men in Austin, who numbered
about one hundred and fifty in the morn
ihg, and the blacks who numbered
eight hundred, had been fighting, and
that the men had evacuated the place
and gone home, leaving the blacks in
possession, one, thousand strong.
A council was called by Colonel Nor
gan, at which no definite conclusion was
reached, the colonel believing it too haz-
ardous to make an assault, owing to the
want Of proper authority, suitable am
munition and numbers.
Colonel Morgan determined to land
at Moons, above Austin, put himself
in better plight, and await executive
authority.
Below Bennet's, Chalmers came on
board from the st. Francis and objected
TO landing at Moons, and insisted on
the landing being made at . Is, or Shoo-
fly, most Of the officers agreeing with
him.
To this Colonel Morgan objected as be-
ing in the midst Of the enemy and SUBJ
jecting the command to immediate at
tack from all sides wholly unprepsred
for it. He then ordered back the COM
misssries that had been landed, and
Captain Finlay's company, which had
been thrown out. He called the officers
together, and told them that he felt it
his duty, under the circumstances, not
to take the route they demanded, and
that he would carry the command back
first.
To this most Of the officers objected.
Colonel Morgan resigned.
General Chalmers was elected, who
landed at ShOofly.

A letter from Ireland, received in
New York, says that John Mitchell had

The whole city was afiame with excite

of his old associates of 1913 and others.
At night the streets were alive with
bands Of music aud bOnfres, and there
was a torchlight procession to his resi-

| confession in writing. You had better
come with me.u Like one paralyzed
first, and automatic afterward, Beecher
| walked away. BE entered the room
where Tilton sat, and TiltOn locked the
door. There was no violence. With
! low, deliberate speech Mr.. TiltOn gave
Mr.. Beecher an account of the wrong he
had done him, proof by proof, incisive
and cum mulative. Mr.. Beeeher sat there
like stone, despair and silence upon
him. When Tilton finished, be waved
his hand and said
'iTHIs IS A DREAM, THEODORE"
After awhile he said louder, and with
sigh that seemed to come from remOrse
and terror: "YOu have a right to kill
me; have forfeited my life to you.
Take it." mo" said Tilton, "but you
shall not walk merrily over this tOwD,
while go to my work with sorrow aud
a sore heart every day. l will compel
you to know that you are discovered,
Mr.. Beecheru
He Unlocked the door and let the priest
go out, Beecher walked away with
Moulton, and the latter said: 'Mr.
BeecheT, you two men have your chill
dren to save; let me bring you together,
or work to keep this secret down. ! do
not want to see you ruined. His chill
dren are dear to me, but be careful how
you follow Theodore. His own misery
will push him far enough. If you add
anything to it, you will pull this city
down.
"Has Theodore got that confession ?'
asked Beeeher.
HE has, and I have seen it" said
Moulton.
40, my GOdr' said Beecher, "where
can go?
WHAT SHALL DOP
Yet Mr.. Beecher did know where to go.
He went that night to the house of Mrs.
TiltOn, and got from her q Written re-
traction. The same night Mrs. TiltOn
told her husband that she had given the
retraetion, and again MoultOn was called
in. He went, as / have descrit ed above,
to Mr.. Beecher, and compelled him TO
give the paper up. From that time for
ward, Moulton, certain that Beecher
would play tickle, kept al the dOcu-
ments, and that is why he has them.
MY IMPRESSION
of all this affair is that Mr.. Beeeher, af-
ter long course of other dslllsnces,
more or less guilty, found in his declin-
ing years, say at sixty, his match in
Mrs. Tilton; that is to say, she had
highly-wrought and exalted mind, loved
him with that feeling which would con-
sent to be his daughter, or consent to be
his wife, and having yielded to the lat
ter inducement, had the power of lite,
love, and spirit to keep this fine old
platitudinarian hers faithfully.

Between three and four hundred
men from Memphis got off Of the A. J.
White, at Shoo-Fly landing, five miles
below Austin, and marched into town
without opposition, at three O'Clock this
morning.
The citizens had abandoned the place
the previous evening to the cOloIed
men who, after holding the place for a
few hours and sacking it, left for their
homes.
The Memphians found about thirty
negroes in town, who surrendered at
once. Eight Of them were arrested and
put in jail. The Others, being non-com-
batants, were unmolested. Everything,
up to nine o'clock this mOrn-

HELENA, August u, l2,ll;20a.m.-Some
thirty Mississippisns, stragglers from
the force sent to Austin from Memphis
Yesterday, arrived here this morning on
the White, and put up at the OatwortDy
hotel. The colored people were unable
to understand the presence Of the squad
Of armed men, and much excitement
ensued.
About nine O'Clock this morning the
mayor obtained possession OF the arms
belonging to the squad and had them
put on wharibOat for shipment by The
first steamer. Shortly after this 1t was
ordered that the arms should be dls'
charged. This was done and every re-
port was greeted with yells OF delight
by the negroes.
Finally when the little steamer
The Trader, arrived from Friars Point on
her way TO Austin. The Mississippi
soldiers, escorted by the mayor, sheriff,
and other officials, and followed by
a large crowd Of negroes were marched
aboard the Trader and shipped
to Austin, bag and baggage.
Nothing reliable from Austin to-day.
Negroes report fight there last night,
and that six or eight white men were
killed.

Rev. John Cnwan, once chaplain Of

John Keho, have been held in New
York to answer the charge of conspira-
CIV to defraud the United States of one
thousand dollaIs. COwan recently wrote
to the State department that on the
twenty-first of July last he fell from a
street-car and had his wallet crushed.
He inclosed fragment of 8 one thou
sand dollar bond, saying that was all
that was saved from his wallet, and
prayed the department to give him q
duplicate bond. On examination of the
fragment that Cowan had enclosed to
the treasurer, the words "Pres't Della"
were found, showing it to be bond Of
one of the South American republics.
