bers OF. the church, expressing great con-
idence in their pastor.
The following is published this morn
ing by q mutual friend Of Beecher and
Tilton: 81 know that Mr.. Tilton told
me that Mr.. Moulton having learned
that MIR. Bsecher had got possession OF
the paper which Mrs. Tilton wrote,
clearing him OF wrong doing, went to
Mr. Beecher's house to got it. 1 don't
know positively whether he usedthreats,
but l know he went with a pistol in his
pocket prepared to get the paper by
threats II necessary. / know he came
away with the paper in his possession.
Mr.. Tilton told me so at the time
DIR. Bacon says; MY belief is that
Tilton has been three years cackling to
lay this cgg and used my lecture MS n
p~retext. The investigating committee is
a poor substitute for legal proceedings
and its verdict in any case will DO un-
satisfactory. l feel no sympathy for
Tilton and withdraw my confidence in
Beecher with tho greatest reluctance.
The Tribune says it is widely reported
that Mrs. Isabella Beechcr Hooker. an
intimate friend Of Woodruff, ayows the
belief that her statements are substan-
tally true, and has herself urged her
brother to a public confession.
Troubles Ia Italy.
A letter from Italy says Chaos is King,
and had last years dearth been repeated
in the present state OF public feeling, a
crisis must have occurred. The mode
rate party, who have ruled exclusively
for fourteen years, are utterly discrcd-
tied. Italy, Of all nations ON the CONT
nent. is least disposed to social upris-
ings, but the bread riots last month give
signs OF a change in this respect. The
agricultural population have passed a
fearful Winter, food being dear and
wages no higher than heretofore. The
national debts have grown to an enor-
nous sum, since unity paper is worth
only scvepty-sovsn per cent. Of its face.
B~rigandage and assassination are CON-
mon in tho northern provinces and Sic
lily, and the police themselves ARE parti-
sans or maleiactors, seldom bringing
these criminals to jnstice."
Arrested and Released.
The case Of Alfred Eugene LaGraye,
brought to this country under charge OF
defrauding his creditors, has been again
brought to public attention by the dccis-
ion Of Judge Daniels, which vacates all
orders Of arrest obtained against him by
his creditors. Judge Daniels holds that
LaGraye was entitled to the protection
of France, and should he returned there
unless he had been taken away under
the cxtradition treaty. LaGrayc Is SAIL
IN have taken four hundred thousand
dollars worth OF goods from creditors.
Bre.rh or Trust and business
Failure.
The firm OF Poscnansh X Co., mar
ufacturers Of white and wooden shirts,
are reported suspended. The Times
says their liabilities will probably reach
$500, 900. II is thought they certainly
cannot be less than S25O,OcO. Hopes
are entertained that the embarrassment
will only lie temporary, and that the
cood credit of the firm will be unim-
paired by tho untowari disaster. ltap-
pears the firm has been doing n large
California business, and had dispatched
to San Francisco as agent, q young man
who had its entire confidence. Last
week Posenanski received information
that things were not right in California,
and he sent q member OF the firm to
investigate the agents affairs. The re-
suit OF this inquiry, 50 far, appears to
be that the agent had gone into business
ON his own account, and continued to
conduct P~osenanski's affairs. Al the
same time. he got into badcompany, led
n very fast life, and used the receipts OF
the New York firm to liquidatc his debts
and liabilities.
