Stores Broken into.

The apothecary store of Partridge Brothers,
and the meat market of Geo. f. Dow, in
Granite Hall block, were broken into Satur-
urday night. The burglars came through the
iron gate in the recess in the rear of the
stores and effected an entrance by the
back doors, that were not very securely fast
ened. BOWS door was locked and the key
left in the door. A pane of glass was broken
and the key was easily reached and turned
from the outside, letting the rascals in with
out any further trouble. BOWS money drawer,
containing from thirty to forty dollars, was
rifed; no other loss noticed. At Partridge's
the store. breakers broke through two panes
of glass and drew the bolts from the upper and
lower part of the double door, and then
sprang the two sections and walked in. They
broke open the money drawer. but no money
was there; they then rummaged the back
store, opening and upsetting bottles, jugs,
etc., probably seeking for something ardent,
but their ardent searchings were unrewarded.
They went TO the show cases, emptied cigar
and tobacco boxes, helping themselves freely,
and greatly disturbing the arrangement of
things generally. 1t is impossible to estimate
the loss or damage done. The police are
looking for the rascals.

SUMMING UP IN BROOKLYN.

[From an extra Of the Brooklyn Eagle last night
Mr. Moult0n has made his statement to the in
vestigatlng committee. He has made 1t just as
the Eagle, just as every man who knew Frank
Moulton expected he would make it. In the ocean
of finnuendo, Of gabbe and of twaddle contributed
to this case by a set OF men and women who have
little business OF their own to attend to, and 30
seek occupation IN attending to the most private
affairs OF others, 1t Is refreshing as breath of
mountain air in the summer time to read the
statement, IN this sad case, OF Francis ID. MoutOn
AS from the beginning we knew he woul0, he re-
squabble In which the reputation OF woman and
the future good name OF her children are at stake.
Mr. Moulton was called 1, npon On by the committee to
and 1t was ntimated or insinuated by one OF the
parties to the case. Mr.: Beecher, that he should
unburden his mind OF all verbal communications
intrusted to him IN regard to the matter. Mr..
Moulton, even at that request very properly re-
documents. or extracts from documents. fell into
the possession Of Mr.. Tilton. They fell there with
Mr.. Tiiton. in his Statement, published them. In
justice To Mr. Tilton, Mr.. Moulton was bound to
confirm their authenticity. He does 50 py produc-

honor ike Frank Mouiton could srcrd to take no
side IN such q question. he simply leaves 1t
where nc found It, no man and no woman the
worse for having trusted his honor.
AS it was SAID and believed by Mr.. Moulton from
the beginning, the OFFENCE OF Mr.. Beecher, what
ever 1t be, was wrong man could forgive, and 1t
was forgiven. 1t was wrong that could be con-
doned, and 1t was c0ndQned. This In itself, II 1t
does not indicate what the wrong was, indicates
what It was not. Prom all the other indications
that Mr.. Tilton has given, even since he submitted
his statement to the committee It would ap-
pear that Mr.. Tilton e IN . position Mmself
to re-estahlish his dayloed home. At the
or ten years Of useful labor before him. Tne
women. the children are deserving Of the chief
consideration; and now the door can be safely
closed in the lace or the morbid curiosity OF the
world as soon as Mr.. Beecher shall have told his
story. The world, even more than Mr.. Tilton, can
forgive the offence, whatever 1t be, into which Mr.
Beecher fell. There has been enough of destruc-
ti0n done in this The friends OF morality and
religion, of Mr.. Beecher of Mr. Tilton will be
inclined to build up, iOr there has been attempt
enough to tear down; and though IN the manly
course Mr.. MoultOn has seen 1T to adopt, scandal
mOngers and poltroOns may find disappointment,
everyone else, men OF religion, OF honor and OF the
world, will find satisfaction.

THE STATEMENT OF MIR. MOULTON.

Huch excitement was occasioned in conse-
quence OF the appearance Of Mr.. Mouton be-
fore the committee or investigation, for 1t was
believed that the public would be Afforded through
hts testimony and the documents In his possession,
key to the scandal that has so long been the SUBJ
tect OF public gossip
Unfortunately Tor the curious, however, much
has been held in reserve. MIR. Mouton declined to
reveal all the facts in his possession, and 1t is not
probable that they VIII be made public before
any other than court Of justice. Even then 1t is
donbtful from the present outlook, whether the
entire truth VIII be told without mental reserva-
ton.

DAY we're hessrs. winslow, Wright, Cleveland,

Mr.. Mouiton appeared before the committee at a
quarter TO i've p. M. His examination lasted
about twenty minutes, during which, without
being subject to much cross-examina ation he made
substantially the statement that while he had
promised to give the committee q iuli relation OF

necti0n with the controversy between

any papen except IN 80 far az might De necessary
10 corroboasc those already made and presented
in the statement OF Mr.. rlton. And for this
reason-hs position was confidential one. He
had been che recipient Of communications
from bou parties, and q iun statement
by him would therefore necessarily involve
one or the other, to which he most
decidedly objected Having thus received these
confessions conGdentally and personally, he felt
that he could not, before that tribunal or any
other, no matter whom the statements might
anect, male any disclosure. Hence, he woula
keep silent
He was invited by the committee, as appeared
by correspondence heretofore published, simply TO
present the original documents that were quoted
by Mr.. Tlton He, therefore, very justly in his own
opinion, proposed to conftne himself to the presen-
tation OF such documents or copies thereof OFFER
ing to authenticate the same II they should be
doubted.
Consequently no new documents were pre-.
sented to the committee which have not already
appeared or portion OF which have been pub
lished.
Mr.. MoultoB desired it TO De explicitly and
plainly understood that II any attack Ia made
upon him which involves the idea OF blacxmailing.
either his part or on the part OF Mr.. Tilton, he
will be constrained to publish the statement in
has already been prepared. aud though 1t may not
be fOrthcomingin the near future, Is held BY Mr..
MOultOn for precautionary purposes.
Mr.. Mouton, In other Words contended before
the committee that II he Is struck directly or in
directly he will strike back. Meanwhile he has
separated himself as he alleges. from the princi-
pals who are involved in the controversy, and
will henceorth take care OF himself without
partisanshlp.
From the present outlook it is extremely doubt
ful whether Mr.. MOuIton will yield further than ne
has already done TO the demands Of the commit
tee. His position AZ mutual friend OF the TWO
contestants has been thoroughly maintained up
to the present time, aud until q late hour last
night there was no reason to change the belief
that such secrets az he may possess Will not be
given to the public unless they are required in q
court of Justice. aA4t

Cornwall, ON the Hudson.
NEwBuRa, N. r., August 10, 1874.
Rev. Lyman Abbott, OF Cornwall-on- Hudson, a
clergyman and author Of some note and warm
personal friend and admrer Of Henry Ward
Beecher preached in that place yesterday on the
text-"who, when he was revlled, reviled not
again; when he suffered he threatened not" His
theme was slander and the Christian treatment OF
it. and the subject to have been suggested by
the Brooklyn scandal, though the names OF the
parties we're not mentioned nor was that un-
sav0ry a1air pointedly alluded to.
The speaker maintained that the good and great
in all lands and in all times had been peculiarly
exposed to misrepresentation and slander. No
man had ever suffered from this cause ~ dtd the
Saviour OF men. Nearly every act Of His was mis-
represented. He was accused OF almost every
crime. From Jesus 70 washington, and later still,
TO General Howard, he showed that the good and
great had been the victims at times OF cruel and
heartless SANDERS. The Savi0ur's mode OF dealing
with slander and Misrepresentation was then
''HR REvIIED NOT AGAIN."
In no instance was He known to turn aside to
contradict . slander. The misspprehenstons OF
friends were sometimes corrected; the misrepre.
sentatl0ns OF enemies were passed silently by.
Peter, in the chapter In which the text was found
exhorted hts fellow Christians to initiate this ex-
ample.
