Rumoreh Con.oIIdatlon.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE latest
phase of the controversy between the
Pacific Mail Company and the trans
continental railroad, Is rumored
combination embracing the railroads
between Philadelphia, New York,
Baltimore and San Francisco, for a
new and powerful line on the Pacific,
to run exclusively in the interests of
the railroads and their European con-
nections. The name of Stanford has
been prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the new enterprise. In
an interview he said that ii negOtia-
tions pending were successfully con-
cluded, ne thought ne would visit
Europe to make arrangements for the
purchase of vessels. Russell Sage, the
President of the Pacific Mail Com
pany, expressed regret at the present
complications between the Pacific
Mail Company and the Pacific Rail-
roads, which he said was injurious to
all parties. He claimed that his COM
pany were willing to do anything to
put an end to the existing difficulties.
He attached little Importance to re-
ports with regard to the establish
ment of rival line. If the railroads
attempted anything of the kind they
could be at once enjoined for violation
of their charters. 1t was quite likely,
however. that Stanford and others
would try to establish a line in con-
nection with the railroad. ~a -ft
MouitOn's Statement.
NEW YORK, Sept. ll.-Moulton's
statement appears in the Graphic,
with fac-similes of the letters prodnc-
ed therein. Among the letters is one
from Beecher to Moulton, enclosing a
check and directing Moulton to use it
at his discretion. Another Is friend
ly note, making an appointment. In
it Mr.. Beecher sends his love to Mrs.
Moulton and says: How dreadfully
near the point she speaks sometimes"
Also, letter from Mrs. Morse, Mrs.
Tilton's mother, in which she adj
dressed Beecher as My Dear Son."
and asked him to help her pay her
rent and provide for herself through
the coming Winter. She refers to his
(Beecher's) secret, and says "Only six
persons know it," She writes OF Eliz-
abeth's home troubles, and thanks
Beecher for the deep consolation he
affords her daughter. The letter
closes as follows: "Do you know that
l think it very strange that you should
ask me to call you my son 2" Moul-
ton gives letter dated July 2Sth, 1874,
to show that up to that date .Beecher
had not felt harsh toward him, even
though he had paid 81 900 blackmail
The letter begins " My Dear Frank"
and closes, /" Yours most gratefully,
II. w. b." ea|
The Herald thus summarizes MOul-
toms statement:
lst. He shows that he did render ef-
ficient counsel and aid to Beecher af-
ter the publication of the Bowen letter
and AYERS in this respect that Beecher
told wilful falsehood. I'd. That he
was not blackmailer, but that
Beecher was blackmailer In that he
availed himself of the power which
Tilton had over Bowen to procure,
through Chaplin, from Bowen, q cer-
tificate of character. Sd. That the
devices to which he, Moulton, resorted
were Beecher's own suggestions, and
made in an effort to help and save
Beecher. 4th. He gives q justifica-
ton which Beecher gave to him for
his adultery with Mrs. Tilton, namely
this: "That his physical expression
OF love was as natural as the words OF
endearment he used towards her"
This, Moulton says, was the first COM
munication of the doctrine of free
love he had ever heard, and it became
impressed on his memory. 5th. That
when he read to Mr.. Beecher, from a
letter of Tilton's to Bowen, the charge
of rape made by Bowen, that Beecher
deemed it necessary to tell him the
truth with reference to the woman
mentioned by Bowen, Beecher saying,
/ did not commit rape, but 1t Is true
had intercourse with the woman"
MoultOn said: "If you are on friendly
terms, you had better have a retrac-
ton, else you may be at Bowen's
mercy" Beecher did 60 and obtain
the best apology he could, which ap-
pears in the statement. 1t appears,
also, from Moulton's statement, that
the efforts of Gen. Butler have been
towards the safety of Beecher, in Or
der to save him and the country from
the shame that would ensue from the
publication of the whole truth. But
Ter has never appeared in New York
on this question except at the sugges-
ton of Beecher's counsel.
