Mrs Tton by whom her were reduced

New. IL is but Justice to Mrs. rilton that should
say that neither this SUBJECT nor the coming oe-
fore the COMMITTEE was ntroducea W h one onh or she
for counsel OF friends. and having already ueclueu
upon the steps she snDsequent, LOON. naturaly
ADVISED with any of the charcn Win whom sne
came IN contact.
in view OF the -.oove it devolves upon me to
declare most emphaticauy that the appearing OF
Mrs. luton before the committee was an act
pressed rpon her by no one, but entirely voluntary
on part; and further that II requires no per-
aston rom any quarter to induce her now to
stand upon the SIDE OF truth, honor and justice
Wish 10 state aso upon inS M an 0i sat
sraay morning last, that IN consequence OF the
course he had taken "henceiorth their paths were
apart"
1 desire further to add that though disapproving
OF the stand Mr.. Tilton has taken in this matter
he mas been and is frequent and welcome visitor

In addition to this card the HERALD reporter
learned the question OF the legal separation OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Tlton is now in the hands of Mr.. N B.
Morse, formerly Judge OF the Court OF Appeals.
Judge Morse is the stepfather OF Mrs. Tilton, and
has been her husbands intimate friend lor
many years. Mr.. TQton left the whole matter
10 Judge Morse. 70 act as Mrs. T1lton's counsel.
Mr.. Tllton declines 10 employ an attorney OF his
own. saying that mis- wife shall possess the house
and all its contents, that the children may reside
with her in some semblAnce OF the old home. Mr..
Tllton Will reside home. and his house will be
managed by his eldest daughter, Miss Florence
Iilton, until the papers OF separation are executed
Mrs. Tilton's withdrawal from Her
Husband.
Prom the Brooklyn Eaglel
Hrs. Tilton left her husbands home, in Living
ston street, last Friday morning, and went to re-
de at the house of Mr. E. J. Ovington. in this city.
The children remain With Mr.. luton for the pres
ent and the household affairs, under the super
vision OF an old servant, proceed as usual. Mr.
Tllton remains at his home, busiy engaged in
preparing his promised letter. He has not been to
Few York lor the past nve days, and seldom leaves
hls study. Frloay morning Mrs. nlton gently
communicated her proposed withdrawal from his
roof and soon after they quietly separated.
Mrs. Tlton declines to make any public
statement OF the reasons which have IN
duced her 10 take this step, but she Is
understood to say privately, that life with man
who kept dragging her name Through the mire OF
controversy became intoleraoie. She was pre-
pared to su1er at the hands OF strangers, but
when her husband joined the band OF defamers
she felt constrained to move In her own interest.
She deems 1t not less duty to herself than to her
children 10 show in what estimation she holds
those who have been trying TO make her name a
byword IN the world.
