avery absorbing topic at this time.
The result Oft 4 fraught with vast
consequences 10 the morals OF the
country and the world. For ourselves
we must await the full presentation or
facts before making up : decisive
opinion. There 10 this, however,
about which we feel fully prepared to
make mp an opinion upon, VIZ. That,
Theodore Tilton 10 brim full, and has
been for years. Of most lamentablyi
destructive vageries in morals, and
that he has also practiced them. We
do not recollect the exact time, but it IL
not far from ten years ago when The
odore Tilton, then editor-in-chief Of
Bowen's Independent wrote the lead
ing editorial in an issue Of that paper
endorsing the Free Love doctrine.
This, at the time, created an immense
out.bnrst Of indignation from the tens
of thousands of readers OF that paper
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land. TIC: this opinion of his, Mrs.
TiIton refers in her statement a. the
commencement Of her troubles. Mr..
Bowen was obliged to dismiss Mr..
Tilton or his paper wcnldl have had
no subscribers. Now let It be remem.
bered that this was years before Mr..
Tilton pretends to charge that there
existed any intimacy between Mr..
Beecher and his wife, or that she was
not pure and noble woman.
Then followed Mr.. Tilton's domestic
difficulties, and according to his wifss
statementa . persistent effort to destroy
Beecher. $500 ssW
We will next note his alliance and
his liasos with Victoria Woodruff into
whose ears he poured forth the charges
he now makes public to wreck, II pos
sible, Beecher, and dragging down to
infamy, II succsssful, his wife and
children. such oct, sfter he had oon-
doned and lived with his wife for -four
years after her alleged infdeHty, and
. few days after he had declared ths
! purity Of his wife In solemn state
ment, seems either the act OF . mad
man or an incarnate flend Of wicked
meas. Some two years ago the pam
phlet biography Of Vie. Woodhull
written and published BY Tilton, came
under our observation. Ever aimee IL
peruaal We have been forced to believe
i that Mr.. 81 Tilton was Il either
! radically and totally - bad mai
unworthy Of any credit whatever, q
else posscssed Of an intellect thal
4 wandered in the ysgaries of insanity
We have tried recently 20 obtain ,
| copy OF that biography but failed. III,
friend who gave Il to NJ to- read. say
that he loaned II and can . tellto whom
and that IL has never been returned
II was the most fnlstm tomfool nat
terry Of Victoria that could possibly b'
pcnned. He elevated that women o
!,

which one would naturally conclud
