ter from Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
pronouncing reputed sermon of his
which has been widely published, ad-
vising the hanging of jeff Davis in
1865, as an unblushing forgery. He
says: ''Not only did never utter or
write such miserable stuff, but all the
world knows that while many were
clamoring for some sacrifice or victim,
I always opposed with intense earnest

which were for hanging Jefferson

A colored man named Charles
Crook died horrible death at River
head on Tuesday night last. He was
man of p-odigious size and in conse-
quence of great accumulation of fat
he had for some time been hardly able
to get about. For the two weeks pre-
ceding his death he was in a constan t,
terrible struggle for breath, the air
passage being nearly closed by the in
creasing fat, and he was at last literal
ly suffocated from this cause For
days and nights he was compelled to
remain constantly on his hands and
knees, as this was the only position
in which he could breathe at all, and
at the end even this resort failed him.

SUMMING UP THE EVIDENCE.

After this review, giving in detail
the more prominent episodes of the
entire controversy, the report suns up
the whole matter, pro and con, show
ing, on the one hand, a man standing
before all the world with great reputa-
ton for spotless purity, Christian
character and moral worth; on the
other man of proven bad and crimi-
nal character; the latter making &C
cusations against the former; the one
with nothing to prove his story, ex-
cept personal allegations proven in
part to be perjury, and supported by
some letters which may mean dozen
things but the meaning given to them !;
this story denied by all having any
connection with the matter but one.
While the circumstances, as we'll as
the burden of proof, all are on one
side, the other is unsupported by any
thing but bad character. The Com
mittee finds that Henry Ward Beecher
is not guilty of the charges preferred
against him. L: is possible that a
paragraph may be added to the report
noticing briefly the failure of Frank
Moulton to bring any new evidence to
bear upon the subject which can in the
slightest degree alter the conclusions
the Com mittee have come-to.

OTHER WITNESSES.


The report then goes on to review
the testimony of several unimportant
witnesses, among them, Mrs. Stanton,
and coming at length to the cross ex-
animation of
MRS. ELIZABETH R. TILTON
herself, giving her accusations of bru-
tality against her husband, and of his
infidelity, still further showing dis
tinct contradiction of Theodore Til
toms accusations.
Mrs. Tilton's evidence is SO quoted
to give her denial of having ever had
criminal relations with her pastor, and
her own explanations of several of the
most prominent portions of her letters.
From this the report proceeds to the
short statement of Frank Moulton as
given to the Committee, and dismisses
it briefly as having made no charges
whatever against anybody. Finally
THE BEECHER STATEMENT
itself is taken, contrasted with several
of the more serious portions of Til
toms, showing that circumstances, in
themselves apparently damaging W ere
in reality easily capable of explana-
! ton.

of the Committees S
Forthcoming Report.

synopsis of the Committees
Forthcoming Report.
New York, August 23.-The Herald
gives the following as a synopsis OF
the Forthcoming report of the Ply
mouth Church Investigating Com
mittee
The report is a someweat lengthy
document, given, as it were, in two
parts, enc mere reverse of the evi-
dence, and the other giving the con-
clusions of the Committee. OF course
these are all IN favor of Mr.. Beecher:
TILToN CONSIDERED.
The statement of Theodore Tilton
is first taken up and gone over piece
plainly forth without verbiage, the
principal prominence being given to
the alleged criminal commerce" be-
tween Mr.. Beecher and Tilton's wife.
This is compared with statements
there used. It is shown that the state
ments of what is now known as the
''ankle scene" are not support ed by
the evidence of the person who claim s
| to have been witness TO it, inasmu ch
as he could not swear to its taking
place at any particular period during a
| term of nine years.
The report then goes on to review
Tilton's allegations of personal chas-
tsty and his claim of high moral char
acter, compared with the evidence of
other persons as to his alleged corrupt
practices and criminally immoral
conduct, notably in the case of the
girl known as Bessie Turner, whose
evidence is given to show that Tilton
states himself to be what he is not.
Therefore is deducted charge of per
jury, showing that Tilton states under
oath in one instance what is fatty con-
tradicted IN another, the Committee
giving as a conclusion to this particu
lar branch of the subject, the rule il
law that the entire testimony of any
one shown to have committed perjury
is worthless.

LETTER FROM DOWNEY CITY.


EDITOR HERALD: The injury done
to barley by the late rains is perhaps
greater than the good done to corn on
sandy land. Crops are in general
promising, indicating prosperity to
all. Several new buildings are in pro-
cess of erection here, among which
is Mr.. Johnson's carriage and wagon
shop. 1t is stated that the San Diego
stage will make this its stopping place
after next week. When this shall be
the case, which must be ere long, the
$4,000 hotel, of which you have
heard, will be in demand.

that the latter gentleman will hasten
his return, and give his assistance and
counsel in matters pertaining to the in
terest Of this place.
This section is comparatively settled,
yet there is room for more. Many q

Public schools are good and are i'm

scarcely any place can be found from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the

. nature has done SO much as for this

the resources of this beautiful country.
consumers only, seekers after "soft"
places, and of bummers, there is an
ample supply. The country IS espec-
tally supplied with showmen, from
the "mammoth circus" men to the
"grand combination" of fifth-rate
actors and magicicians, on down to
the solitary individual who is real
combination of bill-poster, door
keeper, manager, musician and actor.
The country might be a shade better
off if few of these would take it into
their heads to seek other parts. Think

From the San Diego World OF May 9th.
PRESCOTT, May S.-A heavy snow
storm prevailed this morning.
Advices from Camp Verde state that
the boundaries of the Indian Reserva-
ton near that place were being very
closely patrOlled by attachments of
soldiers. Some Indians had stolen
from Mr.. Aguera an OK, which they
killed and ate. They were promptly
followed, apprehended by the soldiers,
and confined in the guardhouse. The
Apache Indians on this Reservation,
under the direction of the officers of
the regular army, are busily engaged
in the construction of large irrigat-
ing ditch to provide water for the
fields they are planting. Their num-
bers are increasing. They evince a
cheerful disposition, and appear to I'M
derstand the futility Of further resist
ance while subjugated by the troops.
One year ago these were the worst In
