a special dispatch dated the 18th to the
Boston Herald, says -
The Brooklyn Eagle says that the Beech
er investigating committee held another
and very important meeting last evening.
1t is known that revelations made by wit
nesses show that Theodore Tilton did for
long time treat his wife in manner little
short of brutal. Members of the com
mittee stated to-day positively and without
reservation, that Mr.. Beecher's demand for
an investigation was made in the fullest
good faith; that he expected and desired
the most thorough examination possible
into the scandal; and that even if Mr.
Beecher was not acting in good faith, and
was DESTROYS of such a compromise with
Tilton as would close Tilton's mouth, it
would be impossible for him to effect it..
The investigation has gone beyond Mr..
Beecher's power to control it, and whatever
there may be at the bottom of the scandal
no matter whom or how much it Injuries,
tlt ihttot So ldl as ilco III lliS pONCi Vi tiiN
committee, shall be brought to light
NO COMPROMISE WITH SATAN.
The Brookly Argus says that it is ru-
mored that at meeting last night each and
every member of the committee declared
that the subject should not be comprom-
ised. They propose to make an investiga-
ton throughout, and before the report is
10 ,r,ll tnlr 60
bring out the facts in the case. They will
wait long enough to allow everybody who
knows or claims to know any facts bearing
upon the matter an opportunity to testify.
The statement was made to-day that the
report for overtures for a compromise COM
ing from Mr.. Bcecher's friends was incor-
rect. 1t is said that members of the com
mittee are agreed that the matter of COM
promise was first preached by parties oper-
ating in the interest of Mr.. TltOn. \ gen
tleman of high standing in the community.
who has taken an active part both as the
friend of Mr.. Bcecher and Mr.. Tilton,
said, this afternoon; Mr.. Tilton is in Il
tight place and he realizes it," Mr.. Beecher
would not permit any one to breach the
subject Of Il compromise ut this stage of af.
fairs, and the committee have secuted the
idea. They have already heard enough to
convince them that Mr.. Tilton has a veal;
case, and that he is at present trying to
avoid an issue" Tilon said to Brooklyn
Union reporter, to day 81 have tried for
four years, using my best wit, which has
proved small, in cndeavoring to cloak and
conceal the facts which are now to be d.
vulged. The responsibility of divulging
them belongs not to me, for would rather
keep them buried. This responsibility be-
longs to Mr.. Beccher, who has commits
stoned six men of his own church to ex-
anime into the facts, which, when they arc
made known, will put an end to Mr.. Beech
er's mini try, show him to have been guilt,
of degree Of criminality which the worlt
little suspects, and to have attempted t.
shield himself by putting forth another
mans breast MS the armor which was to re
ceive the blow. AS to compromises know
nothing. | shall accept none. 1t is day
of battle and death.
MRS. TfLTON DECLINES TO MAKE ANY PUB
Lie STATEMENT,
but is understood to say, privately, thai
life with man who kept dragging hel
name through the mire of controversy be-
came intolerable. She was prepared to
suffer at the hands of strangers, but when
her husband joined the band of defamers
she felt constrained to move in her own in
terest. She deems it not less duty to
herself than to her children to show in
what estimation she holds those who have
been trying to make her name a byword in
the world. Mr. Tilton has already taken
eminent legal advice as to the best method
of carrying his case where in his judgment
it belongs-in the courts. Tilton regards
the committee and n IN.
