THE LEGAL PRJCEEDI NGS.

A representative OF the HERALD called yesterday
upon Mr. Shearman, OF the firm OF Shearman a.
Sterling. Mr.. Beechers COUNSEL in order to ascer.
tain II any new developments had occurred IN re.
gard 10 the legal proceedings now being instituted
by Mr.. Tilton against Rev. ". w. Beecher. Mr..
Shearman was Ousily occupied in debating some
long and wordy document to one OF his clerks,
which appeared 10 have some connection with
affairs appertainlng to the scandal, although its ex-
act import could not be learned. IL was not until he
had concluded with this document that Mr.. Shear.
man declared himself at liberty to enter into con-
versation with the HERALD representative. Even
then he appeared to be very much dsinclined TO talk
upon the subject OF the Brooklyn PASTORS troubles
However, by dint OF perseverance MIR. Shearman
was induced to answer number OF questions put
to him to the following e1ect:-He had he said as
yet not sent any answer to the summons ana COM
plant served on him by Messrs Morris and Pear.
salI the counsel for Theodore TIlton. The answer.
however, he said. was In course OF preparation.
but Tor the present he must decline to specify in
any way what the character OF the reply would be.
He could say that when the proper time came
such defence woulu be entered ana made as
would surely vindcate Mr.. Beecher In the ewes OF
the people and before the law. He would rather
decline advancing any opinion as to the tenabiitv

Assistant Pastor Halliday Believes in Beecher

IN thts city as well as in Brooklyn the Beecher.
1ilton scandal was yesterday the all-absorbing
1Oplc 0t conversation. The usual facetious re-
marks were banded about among the people as
they met each other in the hurry OF business and
beecher stock went down for the day in conse-
aaence Of "Mutual" Moulton's extraordinary state
1ent. "Turn about" being fair play, the Moulton
document only raised Tlton up several degrees
from the immense depth to which he had fallen
when the community was stirred by the solemn
1tterances OF the Plymouth pastor In his own de-
4ence after the long four years Oiagonizing silence
To-day however, Tlton must necessarily again 20
very low down, indeed. for the schoolgirl
appears before the public in ner testimony before
1he Plymouth investigating committee, and with
Beecner innocent or Beecher guilty, this tale told
10y this young girl is one of the most startling in
il its bearings, and If fastened on any man should
break him down. In it the domestic life OF the Til
Aons is again laid bare to the general puoic, and
7he sad story OF a wile's grief is unfolded in con-
stanuy recurring scenes most painful to behold
So far for to-day. When Theodore speaks next the
SHOW Will take apother shape. and in all likelihood
the 'mutual" man may again be SO aspersed in
MS integrity that once more the curtain shah come
aside for another view, and Heaven only knows
when the whole exhibition shall come to close
VOr once and all.

THE COMMITTEES REPORT.

All Mr.. Beecher's friends were very jubilant
yesterday in Brooklyn. HERALD reporter
met Mr.. OvingtOD In Fulton street yes
terday. This gentleman, who is q promi.
nent member of Plymouth church, 1t Will be
remembered, received Mrs. TiltOn at his house
when she left her husband, and he is the only one
outside OF a very small circle who now know where
she is Mr. OvingtOn accosted the HERALD re-
porter and asked what people now thought OF the
scandal. He himself thought 1t was all one way
but perhaps he was prejudiced The reporter
stated that the feeling certainly now turning
all one way, and retalated by asking the ques.
tion:--
'Is there anything new between Mr.. and Mrs.
Titon ?"
"Nothing particularly new, except that Mrs.
Tilton, who Is now with my vile, seems to i'm
prove daily ever since she left her husband. Her
lie was tagged out both with keeping boarders
and with this trouble, ana now she has got over 1t
all. She 4 III holds to her determination never to
live with him again, and she says the separation
Is eternal, even though she should have to part
with her children one by one. Tilton, have un-
derstood, still believes that she will return to him,
but he Is Mistaken and she in this instance at oil
events, seems to show great spirit and will OF her
own. The children cling to her, with the excep-
tion OF Florence, the eldest GIRL who rather clings
to her father She has been more in his society than
In that OF her mother, and he has talked her over

but as ne was acting counsel 10r the defendant
he Thought II would be botn unprofessional and
indecent IN him 10 say anything upon the subject.
He advised that the opinion OF other reputable
lawyers should be obtained, and EXPRESSED himself
hopes that such an action as the present could be
made to lie. He thought that under existing cir
cumstance that IL was not for the lawyers engaged
In the controversy, or the members OF the commit
tee either, to say anything. All ought to keep
silent. He stated that under no circumstance
would Mr.. Beecher return TO town before October
next. He lMr. Shearman) was iully authorized to
act for Mr. Beecher in every way, and his presence
was therefore unnecessary. The answer to III
tons complaint would be sent, he thought, next
week. II was now being verified. and he was
so as to have all IN readiness Tor the trial. The
earliest time that the matter conld possibly come
up before the courts would be in October. He had,
he said heard nothing so far in regard TO any libel
action he made the reply, Lawyers never antici-
pate. They accept the situation and proceed
cordlngly" Should any such action be brought he
and on be OF 70 M seeebe ere
When questioned as to his opinion with regard
TO the statement made by Mr.. Frank M0ultOn and
the effect 1t would have upon the public mind
Mr.. Shearman declined to express any views upon
the subject. Neither would he give any expires.
sion Of opinion as to whether Mr.. Beecher would
see mt to make any statement to the public IN
Telutation o. the document published by Moulton
Wnen further asked If he would advise Mir.
Beecher to keep silence, he said ne must refuse to
answer that question for the present. Many
events might occur within the next few days
In concluding the inverview Mr.. Shearman ad-
vlsed toe HERALD representative to interview Mr..
w. X Raymond who. he said knew more OF the
whole matter than any one else. Mr.. Raymond
was accordingly sought for, but unsuccessluy.
His budget OF news in this cause CeleOre, therefore,
remains still to be obtained.

TWIN MOUNTAIN House. N. H., August %, 1874.
Mr.. Beecher arrived here on Thursday evening
last. to the intense gratihca,on of all the guests
at this house and of all the sojOurners in the
mountainous regions who have, since he came
among us, exhibited morbid curiosity to have
q look at him. All along the route of the jour
ney the depots we're crowded with people who
had heard of his coming, and who exhibited most
serious intent to have the pleasure OF beholding
the lace Of the eminent pastor. SO incOnvenient
were these attempts on the part of the sight
secrs that the conductor was obliged TO
close the doors OF the car In which MIR.
Beecher sat. 1t had been proposed to give
Mr.. Beecher public reception on his arrival, but
after consideration IL was determined not to
interfere with the quiet which he came here to
seek. But the scene on his first appearance
the piazza after arriving was one seldom wit
messed IN far or spot like this. Everybody
here, men, women and children, crowded round
him, grasped him by the hand and showed him by
the enthusiasm they manifested in their silent
greeting OF him, the sympathy they felt ana the
admiration they cared not to dissemble. Mr.
Beecher was quiet and calm, not disturbed
by TINS expression OF good leeling toward nim
though ms features had a worn look which those

Mr.. Beecher himself is the only one who seems

SHADOW AND SUNSHINE.

I! had tried. vainly, too. to keep them all
from the knowledge Of my father, who.
siEce the death of his wife, my stepmoth-

thing like confusion in the family.
Now. when my patience was nearly ex-
