by detailing the exact circumstances under which

those OF his friends who are au Jait with his move

most intimate terms with Mr.. Moultop, and who
claims to know part Of the contents OF this new
statement, said that, in his opinion, It's eject

the public went 1t would settle the case, unless
Mr.. Bcecher could refute Its most serious allegs.

GOING FOR BEECHER's SCALP.
Mr.. MOulton declined to see any and all OF the
representatives OF the press yesterday but In

Mr.. Cleveland in Boston He declared that the
word compromise" had never been mentioned al

land was purely accidental, and that the CONVERSE
ton with that ardent friend or the Plymouth
pastor was limited to the exchange OF the usual
compliments OF the DAY. Mr.. MOutOn afirmed
that ne was not the man TO compromise anything
when he declared war he meant 1t, and kno wing
that he was in the night he would be the last man
to lend his ear to any overtures for compromise.
In other words, II the reporters informant has
understood MIR. Moulton's utterances and taken
them In the right spirit he is now ''on the war
patn," and means to obtain Mr.. Beechers scalp,
nothing more and nothing less The operation Is
attended with some difficulty, and only the future
can tell whether 1t will be successful.
