her religious emotion To express the confession

MoULTON AND THE COMMITTEE.
The n. Y. Times SAYS the committee make no
attempt 20 conceal the fact that they have de-
termined 90 report in Beecher's favor. bat are
willing 20 give Moulton another hearing when
the latter's friends say he will disproye
Beechers blackmailing charges against him.
The Sunday Mercury Saws MoutOn's friends
lnioT med him that the publication of his full
statement would do him no good but would only
result IN pulling down Beecher, when MOulton
replied he did not care 10 publish any statement
al all except what was in the hands OF the COM
mittee, provided Beecher did not make any
charges OF blackmail. This was told Beechef
who replied that his (Beecher's) statement did
contain charges OF blsckmail; aud when told IL
such charge were made that MOuiton would
print the whole Of his full statement, Baecher
coolly replied that IL Moulton published any
further statement, he (Beecher) would have 70
60 20 Washington instead OF Peeksktli Moul-
ton left the city next morning. The Mercury
says Beecher saved MOulton from informer
Jayne's clutches, and a visit 20 Washington by
Brecher might bring Quit cts Lot known by the
public.
