A MEETING OF THE CoMMITTE-PEOPLE WHO
WILL SWEAR THEY SAW The ORIGINAL
STATEMENT.
NEW YORK, July 23.-The Bsecher inves-
tigating committee met this evening at the
residence of Augustus Storrs at Brooklyn.
1t was stated by one of the members of
the committee that no witnesses
were examined, but that the original letters
copied in Tlton's statement were submitted
to the committee for examination. The
committee will meet again tomorrow even
ing, when it is believed that Henry
Ward Beecher and Mrs. Tilton
will submit full statements. Frank
Moulton would not say whether
he had prepared any statement for publica-
ton. An intimate friend and advise, of
Beecher said that there are several parties
who had seen and received the original
statement made by 'Tilton eXculpatlng
Beecher from all the charges la.terly pre-
ferred against him by Tilton, and that they
were prepared if summoned before the COM
mittee to swear to that fact. l

A WHOLE FAMILY BURNED.

THE FIRE CAUGHT FROM THE BURNING
wooDs-THE CHARRED REMAINS.
The Manistee (Mich.) Times of the 18th
inst. SAYS: On Monday morning, June %, at
2:40, there occurred the most terrible and
hesrtrending calamity that has ever hap
pened in this part of the country. An en-
tire family, consisting of Mr.. James Gleason,
his wife. and child, were burned to death.
The circumstances in the case are as follows:
During the entire day on Sunday the fire
had been raging in the woods. near the
MeFarlan Brothers mill, on the south side
of the river, but il had been closely watched,
and no especial danger was apprehended,
although quite high wind was blow
ing at the time. Daring the evening the
fire had been nearly subdued, and most per-
sons had retired. being worn out by the
eNertions of the day and evening. Gleason
and his wife did not retire till after 70
O'Clock. At 2.40 in the morn
ing, a family living close by were
awakened by the cracking of flames, and
on going to the door saw Gleason's house on
fire. The alarm was Immediately raised
and the door was broken open, but owing TO
tie intensity of the heat nothing could be
done, and those present were forced TO real
ize the appalling fact that all three that were
i'm the house must have persisted in the
flames. AS soon as possible the flames
were eXtinguished, and search was made for
the bodies, which were quickly found, as the
house had been entirely consumed. The
body of Mr.. Gleason was found in natural
position, just where the bed had stood,
burned to a crisp. His left arm was burned
partially off, and the top of his head was
burned away. The body Of Mrs. Gleason
was found in small excavation that had
been used for cellar. Her left leg was
burned off, and was found near. The whole
body was crisped with the exception of a
portion of the breast. The child, a little
girl 0fperhaps one year or more. was terri
bly, burned. almost beyond recognition as a
human being, both legs being partially of,
one arm entirely, and the top of tbs head
burned off. The event has cast gloom
and sadness over the whole community.

Mr.. Tilton would soothe the wounded feel
ings, aliay anger and heal the whole
trouble. He took down the sentences and
fragments of what had been saying to use
them as mediato,.
FULL STATEMENT
of the circumstances under which this
was made 1 shall give to
the committee. That these apologies
were more than ample TO meet
the facts in the case is evident,
or that they were accepted.
that our intercourse resumed its friend
illness, that Mr.. T. subsequently ratified
IL in writing, and that he has con-
tinued for four years AN, and until Until with tn
wife Is 1t conceivable, If the original charge
had been what is now alleged. that he
would have cOndoned the offense, not
only with the mother of his children,
but with him whom he believed to have
wronged them? The absurdity as well as
the faIsity of this story is apparent, when it
Is considered that Mr.. Tilton now al
leges that he carried this guilty Sc
cret of his wife's infidelity for six
months, locked up in his own
breast, and that then he divulged il TO me,
only that there might be a reconciliation
with me. Mr.. Tlton has since, in every
form of language, and to a multitude of wit
and in printed documents, de-
clared his faith in his wife's purity.
Propriety and honor demand that the family
trouble should be kept in that seclusion
which domestic affairs have right to claim
as security, and to that seclusion
it was determined that it should be
confined. Every line and word of
my private and confidential letters which
have been published is in harmony with the
statements which / now make. Ny pub
lisbed correspondence on this subject
comprises but two elements, viz:
my desire TO shield the honor of pure and
innocent woman. do not propose to ana
iyze and contest at this time the eXtraor-
binary paper OF Mr.. Tilton, but there are
TWO ALLEGATIONS
which cannot permit to pass without spe-
eial notice. They refer to the only two
witnessed personally. The one an alleged
scene in my house while looking over
some engravings, and the other q
chamber scene in his own house.
His statements concerning these
are absolutely false. Nothing of the kind
ever occurred nor any semblance OF
any such thing. They are now brought
to my notice for the first time. TIC
every statement which connects ms
dishonorablv with Mrs. E. r. Tlton Oh
which in any wise would impugn the honor
of this beloved Christian woman L give the
most explicit, comprehensive and solemn
denial.
[Signedl HENRY WARD BEEcHER.
BROOKLYN, July %, 1874.
The statement of Mrs. Tilton will be mad
public tomorrow and it is understood tina
it VIII be a complete denial of the charg
made against Mr.. Beecher ant
herself by her husband. Mr.. Beeche
will prepare more full and concise reply
to be submitted to the investigating commit
tee at as early date as possible.

Connecticut has just elected

States Senate. He will repre-

cratic side Of the chamber af-
ter the 4.h of March next, TAX
ing the place of Mr.. Bucking-
ham, Republican. He will be
the first New England Demo
ratio Senator who has appear
ed there since the war of 1861.
Mr.. Eaton is a politician of
considerable reputation. He
is a native Of Tolland county,
Ct. When a young man he
removed to South Carolina,
and being a Democrat of the
strictest sect, imbibed natural
" the doctrines of the great
leader, Calhoun. After a few
years residence in South Caro-
lima, he returned to his native
county and began the practice
of law. His open and avowed
hostility to the war and all
war measures, and the audaci-
'tY of his utterances upon the
stump and in political conven-
tons made him the central
figure of the opposition in his
own State, and indeed in New
England during the war.

Cotton Spinning.

as anindustry in the South,
has not been prosecuted more
extensively. It can be done
there far more probably than
in the East. The cost Of trans
portation, both in the raw mas
terial and the finished fabric,
could he added to the cotton
value. and in this way compen-
sation be made for the gradual
but inevitable tendency to de-
probation which is now going
on in the cotton culture.
1t would also avoid the ne-
cessity, now seriously thought
advisable, of abandoning the
cultivation of cotton to an ex>
tsnt that will again bring the
advantages Of price in favor Of
the planter. This conclusion
appears reasonable. in view Of
the fact that other productive
- zaf5
industries to which the climate
Of the South is adapted are
really more thoroughly self
sustaining. The failure Of q
cotton crop impoverisbes the
planter. When his industry is
diversified, the chances are the
reverse, and serious misfortune
is not likely to ensue.
The cotton crop Of last year,
representing an aggregate Of
,O00, 900 of bales, was raised at
a loss to the producers Of over
$50, O0O, 900 ; while the cotton>
spinners declared q dividend
upon their earnings Of lao per
cent. The bank stock Of Fall
River, Mass, the great manu-
featuring centre, has quadru-
pied in ten, years. So indica>
tiveof profitable industry are
these facts that the New Or
leans Times, one Of the most
sagacious Journalism the South,
seriously urges cotton-spinning
upon its people az q branch Of
industry, and produces, to sus~
tain its opinions, the snljoined

THEARKANsAs POLITICIANS.
"A Washington special, May
18th, to the st. Louis Republi-
can says:
The Arkansas war has STIR
red up q great deal of feeling
among the prominent men of
that state who are here, and
the Baxter adherants are par-
ticularly threatening. It is
asserted that the cheques given
by Senator Dorsey to members
of the Arkansas legislature for
and in consideration Of their
votes cast for him to be United
States senator are in the hands
Of Gen. Albert Pike, who is in
this city, and who is q warm
friend Of Baxter. These he
proposes to use against the
Brooks ring in case an oppor-
tunity is offered. Manyof these
cheques have never been paid,
and it is said there are intima>
tionsthat much Of the vast for
tune with which Dorsey has
been credited is moonshine,and
that the financial difficulties in
| which he is involved are equal.
II as troublesome as those Of q
political nature which threaten
to drive him from the senate.
