BY the clipper ship Helen Morris and the steamer
"MikadO we have received our foreign mails and
files to September 10. From the papers at hand we
CLEAN the following summary:
The great Brooklyn scandal seems nearer end
than it at the last previous advices although the
Investigating Committee has given its verdict excul
pating Mr.. Beocher from all criminality. The case
will be carried INTO the courts of law Ben Butler
having been engaged by Tilton to prosecute Mr..
Beecher.
The c1ristian UaioH of New York has article on
the Brooklyn scandal in the course of which it says
4" Mr.. Tilton, Mr.. Moulton, and Mrs. Tilton have
each, on their admission, and ample and ineon-
trovertibe proof told wholly different stories Of
the whole matter. Mr.. Beecher alone has always
said the thing. The burst of selfreproach in
which he chreessly set his hand paper which be
had neither written read, which perverted his
pressions the iempestuous selEreproach and
which he has described and in which it seems he per-
mitted himself to adopt a mistaken course in the
whole matter it is easy to comprehend By Beecher's
showing, in the greatest crisis Of his life be acted
with want of wisdom that is astonishing 1t is the
difficulty of crediting him with much folly that
leads some to credit him with falsehood. 1t has been
things in him brought fully before the public Utter
ances of his most private mood to his most trusted
friend have been given to the world and multitude
of such utterances as these, which were the least
creditable, and which sprung from the lowest moods
Of mercurial temperament, have been selected and
placed in the worst light, and the worst explanation
thrown upon Beecher. These were the utterances Of
at his most unguarded moment, preserved by
treachery, and first given to the world IN the
light and in the most distorted shape 1t concludes
by saying that Beecher will one day shine out clear
and noble in the eyes Of the world man who made
many mistakes, but never erred ignoby, who held
himself throughout pure and upright, the friend of
men and the servant Of God"
