The statement of Mr.. Beecher is
incomplete, and is too much marked
by an effort at avoidance. 1t has
rendered Moulton's full statement,
with all the documents, necessary.
There can be no further excuse or
apology for delay or for withhold
ing that statement. Tilton's charge
was:
l. That in July, 1870, he was IN
formed for the first time by his wife
that, for year or more previous,
she and Mr.. Beecher had been hav-
ing adulterous relations. Upon
hearing this, Tilton never again en-
tered Plymouth Church, but moved
by love for his wife, whom he be-
lieved to have been overwhelmed bv
her pastor and not personally cor
rupt. he consented, for her sake and
the sake of his children, to condone
the crime.
2. That in December, 1870, busi-
ness difficulties occurring between
Bowen and Tilton, in which Beecher
interposed against Tilton, an inter
view was had between Beeeher and
Tilton at the house of Moulton.
where they met for the first time
since the July previous; that, at
that interview, Moulton read to
Beecher a statement in writing, set
ting forth the substance of Mrs. Til
toms confession; and that this was
the first knowledge that Beecher had
that she had confessed; that Beech
er asked to see Mrs. Tilton, and that
evening did see her, after which he
returned to Moulton's, expressing
sorrow and shame; that, later that
night, TIlton returned to his home,
where he heard that Beecher had OBJ
tanned from Mrs. Tilton a statement
in writing for his defense, in case he
was tried by ministerial council;
that, the next day, Moulton, inform
ed of this, went to Beecher, demand
ed and obtained this extorted retrac-
ton; that on Jan. I, 1871 at an in
IerVleW at Beecher's request with
Moulton, Beecher expressed great
eontrltlon and remorse for his pre-
Vlous crlmlnality with Mrs. TIlton
and begged Moulton to write ont
the now famous "apology' which
he signed. 90 W
8. In may, 1871, Victoria Wood
hull advertised in the World tbat
she knew of domestic immortality in
a certain family, and the same dav
addressed a note to Tilton, demand
ing an interview. At that interview
she told him the parties were Mr.
Beecher and Mrs. Tilton. She an
nounced her purpose to publish the
whole story. Tilton from that time
sought by every means to induce
her not to do so, and for nearly a
year he maintained an acquaintance
with her for that purpose. Mrs. Til
ton and Beecher were aware of these
efforts on his part. The Woodruff
woman eventually published the sto-
ry in November, 1872.
4. That TiltOn, in order to protect
his wife from the greater scandal,
has repeatedly given assent to the
intimation that Beecher's offense
was merely an overture to his wife
With this statement Tilton pub
hshed, as confrmatory, various doc
uments, which have been since veri-
ned with the originals in the hands
of Moulton.

FEMININE GAMBLING.
1t has been generally supposed that the
spirit of gambling did not rest in the femi
nine soul, to any alarming extent ;but
this, like many other general suprosi-
tions, is a mistake. Let woman once
get the passion for gambling fixed in her,
and she is the worstand most persistent
gambler on the face of the globe II takes
full possession ofher-it becomes a part
of her very nature-it is a madness which
only succumbs to the severest possible
treatment.
The fashionable women of the great
cities fall into il easily. The life they
lead is of a nature that makes it almost
a necessity tu them The season" of
fashionable gayety, will commence in Oc-
tober and November, and is nothing but a
wbiri of excitement from 4 P. NJ. till long
after midnight There is the opera. the
great theatres, the parties, receptions and
ba lis, and thousand other forms of the
most exciting dissipation. The lady who
has spun all night IN the voluptous
dance in the arms of flushed men-who
has drank wine and eaten exciting delica-
cies-and who goes 10 her bed at three in
the morning, wearied but not satisfied,
awakens from her sleep in about the same
condition that fast young man does al
ter debauch. There is a space OF time
to put in after her rising, and TO woman
who lives on the fiercest excitements. an
hour that has nothing exciting in it is an
hour of purgatory. As a male debauchee
is compelled to take his cocktail at inter
walls during the day to steady himself till
the time comes for his regular drunk, so
does the female debauchee require some
stimulant during the terrible hours be-
tween 9 A. NJ and P. NJ. to keep her alive.
This excitement they have found in gam
bling. Some of til EN- play draw-poker,
the regular game, but not many. The
game, as have been told, requires firm
ness, decision, knowledge of human ma
ture, Judgment, dash, daring, and pluck
qualities which the little dears are not,
as a rule, blessed with. What they pre-
fer is a game of pure chance, in which no
skill is required. To this end dozen of
them will gather at a house, and make a
pool of say So each, making pot of
$50. The twelve numbers are put into a
box, and one drawn at random. The first
number drawn is entitled to one half the
pot, the second to one fourth and the
third to the rem aiming fourth. This goes
on for hours and hours-till in fact it IS
time to dress for dinner.
This game, simple as is, is exciting
enough to satisfy their natures particular
ly as they can win or lose large sum OF
money in day. At one hotel in the up
per part of the city, at which great ma
ny rich men board, the ladies made a
game in which each lady put in $100
each time. One lady won that day nearly
$4,000, which was a lucky thing for her,
as she was in debt, and wanted it. But
how was it with the losers, who probably,
were also in debt, and wanted it like

TILTOE- -BEECHER SCANDAL.-Mr. Beech
er has at length appeared before the pub
lie with his statement, and making as it
does some ten or twelve closely printed
columns in the daily papers, we cannot
well make room for it. We shall therefore
give synopsis oft as found in the Chica-
go Tribune, paper. by the way that has
outstripped all others in energy and en-
terprise in supplying the public with au-
thentic and valuable Information upon
this rather dirty, but Notwithstanding
deeply interesting and generally read
subject. We are induced to draw from
this source because its articles are made
up with more ability than any exchange
received. Beside these considerations,
the views taken by the Tribune are in
such general harmony with our own,
that we give them in preference to any
thing we have either time and inclination
to attempt to write. Since the statement
alluded, the Tribune has published Yo-
luminous correspondence between Tilton
and his wife, extending over much or all
Of the years, IN which Mrs Tilton has
declared before the Compittee that she
endured everything in the way of cruel
ty from her husband. The correspondence,
however, beside being models of epistolary
literature, is in the most endearing and de-
voted spirit imaginable, showing implicit
faith and confidence in one another, and
carried on with frequency-daily for
the most part-Indicating a conjugal
relation which only commands admira-
ton. 1t cannot be, but that this cores
pondence is a better index of the feeling
and bearings between the parties, than
her testimony before the committee. But
here IS the synopsis of Mr.. Beecher's
statement:
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1874-08-22

THE ELECTION on Tuesday passed off
without any interest. The general result
is against the Constitution by large ma
joriy-as estimated in the papers of
Wednesday-some $4,000. The loss of
the Constitution carries with it all the cur
ningly or very stupidity DEVISED, separate
propositions. This result is not little
singular. The question of holding con-
Eention was first laid before the people,
and their response was an affirmative one.
The convention was held, and from the
deliberatIon and labor spent upon IN
new instrument, in the light of experience
gained from the old one, there should,
certainly have been an improvement.
The public funds, as we are told, were
drawn upon for defraying the bills of the
convention, to the amount of $500, ,0OO'
and now the instrument submitted to thu
voters of the State as the result of the la
bors ofthat convention, are voted down
and go for nothing. The best reason LOT
this that we have seen, is given in the
Cleveland Herald. The new instrument,
it says, "was tangled up with various sepa-
rate clauses providing for minority repre-
sentatioD, liquor license, railroad aid, etc.'
which were all or part Objectionable, and
voters who would not take the pains to
investigate the merits of these PROPOSE
tions voted against the Constitution en-
tire. The general feeling seems to have
been that the old Constitution was good
enough, and a strong conservative feeling
against auy change prevailed among all
classes" II was difficult to avoid the
IDEA, more or less vague to be sure, that
there was device or design about it, TO meet
which, the easiest and most efFectual way
was TO let the whole thing go by the
board, together. Well we shall not ma
terially suffer perhaps, in using the infor-
nation and acquaintance we have with
the old document until it shall become
more apparent and urgent than it seemed
to be, for change, when perhaps the peo
pie viii take deeper interest in the
movement

lar. Gen, Custer, is not by long ways
so confident that gold in paying quanti-

respects is quite as highly-colored as any
romancist could desire.

In regard TO pastoral visits, and TO silly
women who feel good over their minister
and his preaching, the New York O6ser-
Ger delivers the following timely little
sermon
All judicious pastors discourage fa-
miliarity on the part OF their people, es.
pcclally of the female denomination. For
this way lies the danger. A silly woman,
plous perhaps. but very soft and shallow,
hears the stirring words of hel eloquent
pastor, is aroused, warmed, soothed, exal-
ted-she thinks ediied-and straightWaY
she believes him to be the man sent to do
her good. She goes to his study to tell
him so how much enjoyment she finds
in his words or she writes him q letter
and pours out her little soul full of twad-
die about her gratitude for what her dear
pastor has done for her; how she 'sis lift
ed up" by his instructions; how she loves
him as friend given 10 be her guide and
comfort, and so on, and so on, more and
worse, running into a maWkish senti-
mentality, sickening man-worship, dis
gusting to every sensible person, but very
nectar TO VAIN, worldly preacher, who
seeks only to make his hearers "feel
good"
There IS world of truth in the above
little nutshell, and the strongest feature
oft all is that it comes from one of the
Oldest and stanches religious papers in the
United States. Coming as it does from
the New York Observer, venerable and
unspotted father in Israel, it ought to car.
ry conviction to every "silly woman who
feels good" and to every silly pastor who
takes pride in making her feel good.

RECIPROCITY gets much attention in
Canada. At meeting of the manufac-
turers at Hamilton, last week, under
reports from designated committees,
the following expressions were made;
The committee of machinery favored
the reciprocity treaty. The wooden com
mittee considered the treaty inimical to
their interests. The cabinet manufacture
ers committee deemed it advantageous to
some branches and injurious to others.
The boot and shoe committee were op-
posed to it. The cotton committee
thought on the whole it would be against
their interests The paper committee
were willing to submit to the disadvan-
iage to their interests for the sake OF Sc
curing reciprocity in agricultural pro-
ducts.

appears TO be against reciprocity, and on
this side it is even more decided in the
same direction. The treaty will fall still
