steam yacht, disguised as servant, at

prison authorities.

Tilton BIecds Beecher to the Tune OF
Seven Thousand Dollars.
New YORK, August l4.-The follow
ing extracts are from Mr.. Beecher's state
ment:
The full truth of this history requires
that one more fact should be told, espe-
cially as Mr.. Tilton has invited it. Money
has been obtained from me in the course
Of these affairs in considerable sums, but
| did Rot at first look upon the sugges
tions thu; | should contribute 10 Mr. I'll
toms pecuniary wants as savoring of
blackmail. This did not occur to me un-
til l had paid perhaps $1,000. After
wards contributed at one time 5000
After the money had been paid over, in
five $1,000 bills, 10 raise which l mort
gagged the house | live in, felt very much
dissatisfied with myself about it. Finally
square demand and threat were made

say at once was blackmail in its boldest
form, and ! never paid cent OF it, but
challenged and requested the fullest expo
sure.
Beecher's Interview With Woodruff.
At the first interview she was gracious,
az the second she was cold and naughty,
but at the third she ewas'angyy and threat=
ening, for l had peremptorlly refused to
preside at The lecture she was about to
give at Stcinway Hall. Most strenuous
efforts had been made by 10th Mr.. Tilttn
and Mr.. Moulton to induce me 10 preside
at this lecture, and to identity myself pub
licly with Mrs. Woodruff. Atabout the
same time found that the circle ofwhich
Mrs. Woodruff formed a part, was the
centre Of loathsome scandalizlng, organiz-
ed, clagsifed and perpetuated with a
greedy and unclenn appetite for every.
thing that was foul or vile.
He Sees Mrs. TiltOn Looking Like a
Marble Statue.
After the interview with Titon, Beech
er says, speaking Of the interview with
Mrs. Tilton She evidently expected me
and they showed me at once to Mrs Til
tons room. Mrs Tilton lay upon her
bed, white as marble, with closed eyes, as
in trance, and with her hands upon her
bosom, palm to palm, like one in prayer
As look back upon it, the picture is like
some forms carved in marble that | had
seen Upon monpHents in Europe.
He Behaved to Iyer Like a Father.
Beecher's cross-examinaton before the
Plymouth church committee places Moul-.
ton and Tilton, in a position of black
mailers. Beecher emphatically denied
Tilton's allegation OF adultery with his
wife, or of behaving toward her in any
way different from q man to his own
daughter. Filton being interviewed to-
day, about Beecher's defense, says Moul-
| ton will now be obliged to publish the
long statement he had preserved, but
withdrew for the sake Of pea2e. 2eecher
had behaved ungratefully, especially as
NIoulton had been his friend and saved
him from committing suicide four years
ago. That statement will annihilate all
Beecher's denials. Beechers conduct is
that of desperate man, and his resorting
10 falsehood to cover his conduct is simply
Infamous
Beecher Going To The White Moun-
tails To g Frolic Away His Troubles"
New YORK, August l5.-Beecher left
for Peekskill to-day end 'gill not probably
return before October. At the parting re-
ception, Beecher, with countenance light
ed with Joy but with eyes filled with
tears, stood with his wife and received
guests. He took as many of their hands
as he could hold, right and left. The Ia
dies went up to Mrs Beecher and kissed
her. She was powerfully affected, and
could scarcely return their kind attentions.
Beecher said he hal rid himself Of d great
burden, and was now going to the White
Mountains alG frolic away his troubles
Outrageous Conduct of a United States
Judge.
MONTGOMERY, August 15.-This eve-
ming, on the Selma train, the conductor
ordered a negro out of the ladies' car. On
his refusal to 60, the conductor took the
negro by the arm to force HIM out. BUS
iced, United States District Judge, took
side with the negro and drew a pistol, and
told him not to go. Busted and theme
gro left the car, and soon returned with
some twenty negroes and took possession.
There were only three ladies in the car
and one gentleman. Two white Republl-
cans on the train persuaded the negroes
to return, after they had possession OF the
car for some time. Great Indignation is
manifested at such conduct on the part Of
United States Judge.
