Bpecher's Defence.

NEW ! ORK, July IL.
The Brooklyn Eagle says that Beechers
statement is ready for the committee. lie
denies he ever made impure iDtimation to
Mrs. Tilton. He acknowledges that Mrs.
1'iltOn complained to him of her husband
and spoke of his going with strange women
and proved her statement was true, and
finally begged him, Mr. Bcccher, to advise
her, as man and minister, what to do.
Mr.. Bcechcr, after dcliberation and CON
siderable hesitancy, advised her if she felt
she could not reclaim her husband to leave
him
After a time Mr.. Beecher felt that he had
made mistake in giving this advice. He
thought that perhaps if lett to the impulses
of his own glorious nature Tilton would
have abandoned the strange women after
whom he had been yearning and return to
the peace of his own household. In this
condition of mind he apologzed to Mr..
Tilton for what he had done, promised to
extend to hun the right hand Of fellowship
in the future, and to bury the past utterly.
Mr.. Tilton's forthcoming statement will it
is SAID disappoint the public greatly. 1t is
understood he las resolved to be reticent in
regard to his own family, but will attempt
to show that Mr.. Bcecher destroyed mo-
| the Tilton's but some other household
The consistency of TilVns position vii
be best judged by the public when TIN
statement appears and its contents ar
compared with his promises.
