From the Brooklyn Eagle OF yesterday
In Mr. Titon's cross-examination before the in
vesttgating committee, reference was made to Mr..
Samuel Wlkeson in this manner -
Q. DID you complain OF Mr.. Beecher for not aid

@, Did you say to him about that time tina: Mr.
Beecher had not befrlended You III that ma tier |,
A. did not and Mr.. WilkesOn will not dare TO say
that under oath.
Q. You say you never complained OF Mr. Beecher
for not helping your A. No, not Tor not helping
me, but for beng un)ust.tO me and saying that [
ought TO be turned out understood that he said
70 Dr. Spear that they were going to have Mr.. Til
told me that. He said I'll know something about
this thing; heard some such thing"
Mr. Wilkes0n testified before the committee
that late In March, 1872, Mr.. Tilton showed him
press proof Of a letter which he threatened to pub
lsh in the next Golden A0e unless Mr.. Beecter
should do him justice. Mr.. T1tOn claimed that he
had been dismissed from the Independent and the
Brooklyn Union without cause and thereby had
been ruined IN tame, prospects and estate, and
that Mir. Beecher was utterly Indifferent to his
fate and would not help him.
This is the statement which Mr.. Tilton says that
Mr.. WiikesOn dare not make under OATH
Mr.. Wilkes0n is the Secretary OF the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. An Eagle reporter
called on him at the ofice OF the company, corner
Fifth avenue and Ninth street. New York. this
morning Mr.. WikesOn IL an elderly gentleman
and OF apositlve character, AS the conversation
with him will show.

ton before the committee
Mr. WILKEsON--I have, sir.

give you plain and truthful answer.
REP0RrER--We then, did yun lie did yOu tell
the truth in your statement before the commtteeY
''Wait moment" said Mr.. WikesOn and ne
began writing on sheet OF paper lying OF the
desk before him.
In a moment he handed the reporter this docu-
ment:--
Mr.. WnKRsoN said I'll reafirm every word OF
nv published testimony. 1t Is Jrue-every word
Of IT, and Will testify TO It under oath IN a court
OF justice. When Titon denies my statement OF
his conversation with me he lies. Indeed, he Is
the champion liar of America. No man since

OLIVER JOHNSON'S STATEMENT.

An Eagle reporter called upon Mr.. oliver Johnson
yesterday morning, and found that gen tleman bus
Ily writing and glancing over exchanges the onice
OF tue christian Uaion. He was received with u
pleasant "GOod morning." and the arduOus duties
OF Journalism were, Tor the moment, thrown aside
as Mr.. Johnson invited the reporter TO take
chair and enjoy the breeze that came re-
fresbngy through an open window looking north
ward.
'what can DO for the Eagle this morning ~ he
asked with pleasant smile.
The reporter unfolded copy of a morning Jour-

ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH MH
TILTON.

In the early afternoon yesterday a reporter vis
tied the residence OF Mr.. Theodore Tilton In Lv-
,ngston street, Brooklyn, and being fortunate
enough to fnd the gentleman at home, was ad-
united to an interview. After a few preliminary
remarks OF little Importance the following CONVEX
satoD took place:
KRPORrER-l suppose, Mr. Tilton, you can easily
divine the object OF my calnng on you today
Mr.. nuTON--What may IL be2
RBPORTRR-You are aware, OF course. that public
attention has been much excited by the published
reports OF vour crOss-examinatiOnS
Mr.. TILTON-By no means a cross-examinaton.
N0Ining crossed by 1t. IT is to be regarded
~ series OF conversations between myself and
Mr.. Beecher's counsel. Besides, not an exact idea
can be obtained from the report. IL IS much con-
densed no that the actual form these three long
COW ersatiOns took can hardly be gained from IL.
REPORTER-Will Mr.. f. M0ulton, do you think,
appear before the c0mmitteeY
Mr.. TILTOs-NOt voluntarily, nor have the CON-
mittee, yet at least, requested him. feeling OF
honor prevents him from stating anything in this
anair within his knowledge unless with the con-
sent Of Mr.. Beecher and myself, or under the
pulai0n of "A court OF law.
REPORTER--Were you aware that your examna-
Son on these three occasions would be gwen at
once for publications.
Mr. TILToN--Certainly not. never knew OF any
euch intention until l saw them appear IN the
morning papers. iee 1t imperative should say
something 10 the pubic with regard TO that punt
cation.

This most potent committee met last evening
with closed doors, az usual, at the residence OF
Mr.. Augustus Storrs No. "a Monroe place. A very
large delegation OF representatives OF the press
sembled on the sidewalk and eagerly scanned the
witnesses, as they nIed past and up the broad
steps leading to the mansion. The committee met
at halpast eight O'Clock and adjourned at a
quarter to eleven. Several members of The
committee were approached Ior iDiorma-

RETROSPECTION.

In the statement made by Mr.. Tilton before the
investigating committee, and printed on wednes-
day last, there appeared the following letter to
Mr.. Frank MoultOn, bearing date sunday morning.
June !, 1879

TO reproduce the following summary OF mis- morn
Ing sermon on that date, a. printed In the HERALD,
June 2 1873
Mr.. Beecher preached yesterday morning, to the
usual crowded congregation, sermon that the
orthodox Will regard as plea for ljniversasm. He
selected his text from the last OF the fourth
verse OF the tweniy-nrst chapter OF the Revela-
ton OF st. Jobn:-"For the former things are
passed away Those words were the summa ton
Of that which had gone before. The Revelation OF
st. John was IN Itself flied with figures and sym-
bOs borrowed from the Old Testament. The New
Testament was fairly agow with these borrowed
symDols. John had been talking about heaven

county should attend to, for thus real investiga

Evils to Religion.

From the Brooklyn Eagle]
Even now, every day the agitation OF this mat
ter Is continued, the evils to morals and religion
are deepened and mutiplies. Such papers as now
seem inclined even in advance OF It's report 10
render nugatory the investigation OF the commit
tee, and who indirectly, and directly, too, are
striving to have Mr.. Beecher. his wife, Mrs filton
and o,her men OF responsibility ana character,
dragged into court OF law thereby to proiong this
scandal on the church. and magnify its effects, are
committing what TO us seems grave error, the
