Beecher.TiltOn.

The Brooklyn Argus says: 1--WE have from
the highest sources an admission that the
friends Of Mr. Beecher are endeavoring to
effect compromise which shall prevent the
publication of the lengthy statement promised
by Titon.
- Theodore Tilton's wife has been before
the Committee She has given evidence con-
Trajectory of her husbands version Of the
matter. disagreement has resulted between
man and wife, and Mrs. Tilton has left her
husband.
- 1t is now established beyond the shadow
of doubt that Tilton was not aware Of the
existence of an Investigation Committee in
Plymouth Church until after Mrs. Iilton had
appeared before the Committee to give testi-
monv. Her appearance before the committee
was brought about by intimate friends of Mrs
Tlton. who are well-known attendants at
Plymouth Church and ardent admirers of Mr.
Beecher. II appears that, after the publica-
ton of Mr.. 1ilton's letter, addressed to DR..
Bacon Mrs. Tilton left her home in Living
stone street. Mr.. Tilton and his children
continued to occupy the house. and he receives
his friends there. Mrs. Tilton is now sojourn-
ing in family of Mr.. Beecher's friends. It
is not understood that n formal separation
has taken place between Mr. and Mrs. Tiltou,
but only one inference can be drawn from the
course the lady has seen fit to adopt, and 1t il
that her lot IL cast for the present at least
with those who are wholly antagonistic to Mr..
Triton.
New YORK, July 17.-Alr. Beecher's state
nent although Lot yet officially before the
Committee, is in the hands of his friends
and will be submitted az soon as Titon's is
put in. Gentlemen who have seen il speak Of
it as frank, straightforward. manly docu-
ment Beecher addresses himself III detail to
the Tilton case explains the nature of his
trouble with Tilton denies that he ever made

cludes with an absolute and unequivocal de-
NAL of all other ISLANDERS which have been set
in motion against him. He acknowledges
that Mrs. Tilton complained to him of
her husband that she spoke of his
infdelity, and cited instances; spoke of
his going with strange women. and
proved that her statement was true, and
! finally begged him (Beecher) to advise her,
as man and minister, what to do. Beecher,
after long elaboration and considerable hest
fancy. advised her. if she felt she could not
reclaim her husband, to leave him. After
time Beecher felt that he had made mistake
ia giving this advice. He thought that, per-
haps, if left TO the impu seq of his own gem
erous nature, Tilton would have abandoned
! the strange woman after whom he had been
running. and return to the peace of his own
/ household In this condition OF mind he
apologized to Tilton for what he had done
promised to extend to him the right hand of
fellowship in the future, and to bury the past
utterly.
Tilton's forthcoming statement will, it is
said, disappoint the public greatly. The sup
position has been that he would undertake to
prove that Beecher had done him grave
personal injury; that he would specify that
wrong, and adduce evidence of its reality
Now 10 is understood he has resolved to re-
main reticent in regard to his own family, but
will 20 into the general scandal. In other
words. he will attempt to show that Beecher
outraged not the Tlton, but some other
houseboId
