New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-08-05

Question-Taking any one else in what |
respect!
Answer-I do not think if had known |
as much as do now of Tilton that l should |
ever have encouraged Mr.. Beecher's ac-
quaintance; l think l did wrong in doing |
it, inasmuch as it hurt Theodore. do not |
know as l can make myself understood, |
but do you know what l mean when l say |
that was aroused in myself, that l
had a self assertion which I never |
knew before with Theodore. There was
always damper between me and Theodore,
but there never was between me and Mr.. |
Beecher; with Mr.. Beecher l had sort OF
consciousness of being more; he appre-
ciated me as Theodore did not; felt that
he respected me; l think Theodore never
saw in me what Mr.. Beecher did.
Mr.. Sage-Do you mean to say that Iheo-
dOre put down self-respect in you, while
Mr.. Beecher lifted it up!
Answer-Yes, l never felt bit of embar-
rassment with Mr.. Beecher, but to this day
never could sit down with Theodore with
out being selfcOnscious, and feeling his
sense of my inequality with him.. Witness
| said the sin she spoke of was nothing more
than giving to another what was due to
her husband; that which ne did not prlng
| out; however, did not feel now that there
was any great sin about it; the sin was
| that she hurt her husbands pride by allow
| ing any one else to enter into her life
at all; the wifely feeling she gave
to her husband was pure; she gave MI:
Beecher nothing more than confidence and
respect; she taught her daughters that II
they gave husbands what she had given to
hers they would do enough; Tilton fre-
quently talked to her, accusiingly, OF the
sensual effect of her presence upon gentle
men: his accusations were hard to live
under, he seemed to be ashamed of
her appearance, dress and bearing; on one
occasion in a company of his friends, he
told her he would give $5OO>f she was not
at his side. In hotels and public places on
several occasions he said to her: l wish you
would not keep near me. 1t was evident
to her that he did not want comparisons
made between them. 1t hurt her very much.
In 1870 she had conversation with Tilton
regarding his own habits and associates in
which he confessed criminality with other
women. She did not confess adultery to him.
1t was the other way; he confessed to i'm
proper relations with several women IN
Chicago.
The Auditor of State who has been
making an examination of affairs of the
Chicago insurance companies, notified the
Attorney General to-day that the Atlantic
and Pacific Insurance Company was in
solvent and requested him to take such
action in the matter as he deemed neces-
sary. The assets OF the company are valued
by the Auditor at $209, 900 and the liabilities
$447 900.
Death of Van Eeten.
A post-mortem examination made OF the
remains of Van Eeten, the California bond
torger, discovered that death resulted from
| pletely recovered from the effects OF lau-
danum. His harsh treatment while under
the effect of poison, and needless exposure
(being allowed to lie nude for several hours
! are assigned as the causes which led tO
congestion.
Experience of New York Policeman.
On the twelfth of July last, Officer
Thomas Barrett, of the sixth precinct, was
bitten on the hand by dog. He immedl
ately shot the animal. but the fear o1
hydrophobia preyed on his mind, SO much
80 that he was confined to bed for a week
When the roll was called this evening, he
complained of feeling unweli, and an officer
handed him glass of water.
He dashed it to the floor, and betrayed
the usual symptoms Of the disease, barking
and swapping at those around.
He was taken to Park Hospital and the
doctors think it is not case OF genuine
hydrophobia.
Young kidnapper.
A youth, aged twenty, pleaded guilty tt
kidnapping girl eight year old; sentenced
to one year. He returned her safe next day
but would give no reason for the act.
Regauging Highwines.
The discovery of supposed fraud is the
result of the new order of the Internal Rev
enue Department, requiring all highwinei
to be regauged before rectlticatiOn.
The revenue authorities seized about
900 worth of crude spirits at different
places in the city yesterday, on suspicion
that fraud was intended on the government
in its measurement. The liquor was con
tanned in 1475 barrels.

vanced by merchants in this city on the
liquor under seizure.
