without special notice. They refer
to the only two statements which Mr..
Tilton pretends to have witnessed per-
sonally; the one an alleged scene in my
house while looking over engrsvings, and
the other q chamber scene in his own
house. His statement concerning these
are absolutely false. Nothing Of the
kind ever occurred nor any semblance Of
any such thing. They are now brought
to nv notice for the first time. To every
statement which connects me dishonora-
bly with Mrs. f. r. Tilton, or which in
any wise would impung the honor and
purity of this beloved Christian woman,
| give the most explicit, comprehensive
and solemn denial.

The Trouble i'm Mississippi.

The Lieut.. Governor of Mississippi has
telegraphed that he has sent to the Presi-
dent, by mail, statement of the condi-
tion of affairs at Vicksburg, which leads
him to apprehend disturbance of the
peace, which, owing to the unorganized
state of the militia, he would be unable
to suppress. The Mayor and postmaster
at Vicksburg have on the other hand tele-
graphed to the President protesting
against the sending of troops to that city,
as such an act would have the effect Of
increasing the excitement, and as there
are no indications ofan outbreak. Iester-
day the Secretary of War ordered two
companie. of troops from Jackson to
Vicksburg, us their presence might have
the effect of preventing acts Of violence,
should such be contemplated or be likely
to occur in the absence Of restraining
power The action of the Secretary OF
War meets the approval of the Presl-
dent Nothing more will be done in the
premises.
The Secretary War, in view of the
protest of the Mayor Of Vicksburg and
! the Postmaster ut that city against send
ing troops there, counternandcd all or
der directing the troops to proceed 10
that place until full particulars Of the
whole trouble had been received from the

CLEVELAND.
Suspicious Circumstances.

CLEVELAND. July 22.-Considerable
excitement prevails in this city over the
sudden death of Mrs Bass, at the Cleve-
land Water Cure, two weeks ago. DIR.
j. Bass, of Nassau, Indiana, arrived At
Water Cure with his wife and daughter,
the latter about twelve years Of age.
Soon after their arrival Mrs. Bass was
taken suddenly i'll, and died after II
weeks illness. From remark made by
the little daughter, and noticed dislike
of the woman to remain long with her
husband, DIR. Bass was suspected Of
changing the medicine prescribed by u
physician of the cure. Nopositive evidence
of crime on the part Of the husband
being had, the remains were allowed to
be- placed in II vault at the cemetery, the
physician preparing II certificate of death
from congestion of the lungs. AT the
earnest request of several boarderS it was
finally decided to place the matter in the
hands of the authorities, and Il post NOR
tenn examination was ordered. The body
was much dccomposed, but the physicians
were able to discover that the lungs were
in good condition. The coroners jury
render d a verdict of death from unknown
causes. and censured the officers of the
water cure establishment for withhold
ing notice of the death from the authori-
ties for So long time Further invcs-
tigation will probably be made.

MacMahOn and the Septen-
nate.

MacMahon in response 70 a deputEtiOn
Of members Of the Assembly, who wait
ed upon him to-day, said he would not
summon the power in order 70 restore
either the monarchy or the empire. His
acts proved ne would not participate in
such enterprises. The Law which created
the Septennate still les imp0sed upon
him the task of constituting a definite
republic. VI. Pericr's bill offered him
nothing. but BY isolating him from the
Conservatives by whose AID he wished 70
govern, would deprive him Of much,
consequently the Ministers would
declare in his name that he rejected the
subject. In conclusion he expressed the
opinion that the proclamation Of the Re-
public might disturb the order and peace
but ifthe laws he asked for were voted the
.eptennate would becOme.a gOv'rnineat
calculated TO inspire confidence and re-
spect.

ment tomorrow will demand Of the
