In regard 70 this statement Beecber wholly msta
ken, he does intend TO falsify. remember that
part OF the very WELL and what said on
that occasion to him. which "Gen. Tracy, your
counsel says that You must never say anything about
the payment OF any money on account Of Titon, be-
that will 10 very much against yon. Have you
said anythingP Beecher replied p" ly 10 Oliver
Johnson who will keep 1t TO himself. and never VIII
say anything about it to anybody else" That was all
that said upon the matter Of keeping silence about
that money.
Now when the fact s seen that especially and ex-
actly set FORTH well the money paid Mrs Titon and
for Besses support the 5000 in my statement pre-
pared for the COmnltee without being called upon TO
do so by anybody and while supposed 1t rested wholly
between Beecher and myself and Bescher himself says
did wholly rest between him and johnson, why should
ihave at the very hour that was looking forward To
the probability OF making my statement before the Com

Beecher. IL never occurred TO my thought, under
any circumstances whatever or In any form, that
II could enter into the imagination Of man that
this extorton OF money from Beecher. Ou the
contrary. he knew that myself had advanced sums IN
aid OF Tlton enterprise who had never accused me Of
any improper intimacy with advances towards his
WIFE, My partners had subscribed and advanced money
for the purpose OF supporting TIE Golden Age Many
other prominent citizens Of Brooklyn had done the
sam and + had no that Reecler
doing anything other and different from what the rest
OF doing-except that be had perhaps, an adj

we all fayosed and the results OF which were looked

THE MONEY FOR THE GOLDEN AGE.
II win also be observed upon careful examination
of Beechers statement, although attempted to be
concealed by ambiguous Phrases, that the suggested
payment OF 5000 first to me from him, aud was
not made by hun and that part of his statement
which relates to what told him in regard to the kind
friend who had made advance to Theodore Tlton In
cash and notes would have been quite nearly correct
he had added the rest Of the truth which then told
h-that Tilton had refused to receive that advance
from the party Offering TO make t; and that also told
him the time that TtoD, was sure. would not
take any money from him, and therefore 1t was ar
ranged between that II should be gwen 70 TIton in
small coming from me, as l had already
Of 5000 which Beecher subscribed seem TO me
at all extravagant for him to give Having been for
many years the possession OF reputed income, from
bis salary and literary labor OF from forty TO fifty thou
sand year, and having apparently reasonably econom-
ical habits living supposed HIM to be man Of very
considerable not large fortune, from his almost neces
sary accommodations, and leave him to explain why IL
was with such ample income, from which he ought 10
have accumulated large fortune with habits OF pru-
dauea and M t,o,c Ut TO
explain how he had impoverished himself aud impaired
his credit great extent not 70 be able 20 raise
the patry of 5000 from among his rich parishion-
ers without mortgagng his house unless indeed he felt
called upon to support others as he did Bessie.
will venture TO mention the of another gentle
man who has shown himself in this controversy 10 be
stanch and fast friend OF Beecher, and who, before
ever he proposed It me- had advised Beecher that he
ought to subscribe aid OF Tton and to whom Beecher
az he reported made the reply that he had offered TO
give money In order to aid Tton. but he would not
receive IT, now refer 70 Mr. Thomas Kinsella OF The
BROOKLYN Eagle who has Loyalty supported Beecher
in this his nal struggle for his pulpit and good name
IL will also be observed that Beecher in his statement
SAYS that WAS to feed out this money to Tilton
which exactly comports with what said in my state
neut that was to give to him from time to time as
found he needed 1t, and that had not yet paid all Of
that sun to MIN, the account In my published state
ment shows. Why then, with that knowledge and that
statement by Beecher that this mOuey was TO be fed
out" does Beecher speak Of the modifying efect"
Of 900 to Tlton which he now confesses he knew TIL
ton had not received and why say that Tton had had
his gold jngllng in his pockets" for yearsf Or are
