NsSw YORK, Oct. S--The Evening Post pub
fishes the following: Mr.. Bsecher was before
the gran jury about an hour to-day answering
lques ions from members OF that body In refer
enee to published articles attacking his charac
ter. The Indictment against Theodore I1lton
forIibeling Mr. Beecher was then specified and
read to the latter who saii it wasseorrect. The
document sets forth that Theodore 11lton WICK
ediy and maiiciousiyl with intent 10 lnyure ana
good name fame and character, suojecting him
to contempt and disgrace, and TO provoke him
and his friends, TO commit breach OF the peace,
published on or aboRt september 18th, or caused
10 be published in the Daily Graphic
and circulated in Brooklyn and elsewhere a
false, scandalous and malicious libel concerning
him. The part of the article referred TO was the
alleged commission of adultery in October, 1858,
with Mrs. Tilton and the assertion as TO the
doubtful paternity OF the child born the follow
ing year. The grand jury also read 10 Mr..
Beecher the second indictment against Frank
Moulton. which is worded similar to that
with libeling Mr.. Beecher, by causing
the publication of false, malicious and
slandeFous re ports in the Daily Graphic. After
Beecher left, the grand jury presented the in
dictments 10 the Court of Sessions. and were
discharged by Judge Moore, who thanked them
for their services Counsel for the brooklyn
Eagle this morning appeared before Judge Nell
son and that the two suits for libel brought
against his clients by Henry G.. Bowen
be consolidated. The decision was reserved
Messrs. Tllton and Moulton win not be formally
| arrested, but will be notified to appear on Mon
day and furnish bonds pending their trial,
which, it is intimated, will take place at an
early day. There was great excitement in
that Mr.. Beecher had appeared be
fore the grand jury and made a complaint
against Tilton and Moulton, and that indict-
ments were found against them for a malicious
| licel and SANDER. IL is understood that when
Mr. Bcecher gave his testimony he was in the
highest degree emphati and declared that the
allegations ofTiltOn and Moult0n with reference
to him elf. Mrs. Tilton and another lady Were
