New YORK, July %. Theodore Tilton
says of the publication of his statement
Il would not have had it published for
100000 Augustus Maverick, friend
of mine helped me to copy the original
and made second of it while / was before
the committee. He printed it out OF
friendship to me, When | heard of it |
went to my room in the Astor House and
threw myself on the bed in despair"
Maverick is editor of the Brooklyn paper
in which the statement first appeared and
received yesterday the following note
WEDNESDAY, July 22-My Dear Nav
erck From no other person save either
yourself as my confdant or from the COM
mittee's short hand writer or from some
member OF the committee could my sworn
statement have got into print, My heart
is bowed and bleeding at seeing these facts
spread before the world. Tell me how
could you have taken such fearful,
dreadful and horrible responsibility with
out consulting me in advance. There now
remains no possibility of peace or silence.
Nothing but everlasting woe. Explain
to the public. Yours in grief
THEODORE Triton.
Maverick published this note, and adds
in the course of a short explanation ad-
dressed to Tilton and the public:
"As one of his Clifton 81 staunch friends
loving and knowing him to be long
abused man and that he still shrunk from
hurting others in order to shield himself,
| resolved that this defense should be pub
lished, and | published it, | did so with
out his consent and did right, and stand
by the act as an act of justice to man
who has been wronged and community
that has right to know all the facts,
A gentleman whose official business has
led him to receive and open much OF MIR.
Beecher' S correspondence said last evening
In Beecher's love letters you would be
surprised to know how Ioolishly some wo-
men write to him. Every once in while
a woman gets little crazy and writes to
Beecher to tell himhow much she
adores him. Letters used to 60 to the In
dependent office, and Tilton, under orders
from Beccher, opened many of them. lie
made copies of them and today has the
manuscript and copies Of letters, all con
nected with respectable ladies who have
toolishly written to Beecher all about their
love for him. He receives love letters by
the ream and cord, and the joke OF it is
that as his wife takes care OF all letters
that come to him she reads the love letters
before he sees them. Mrs. Tilton S letters
to Beecher were very atfectionate and en-
thusiastic, and expressed deep pervading
love IN him. Mrs Beecher read them and
they are all in her possession now. When
the scandal was raised, Mrs. Beecher, look
ed I'D these letters and at Mrs. Illton
request has preserved them for her. GU
cant convince Mrs. Beecher that her hus-
band is guilty of anything Tilton charges.
She says that if all the women in creation
were to swear that Beecher had been u1-
faithful she would not believe them
The Beecher Investigating Committee
met last evening and examined the original
letters copied in Tilton' statement. To
morrow evening they meet again, when 1t
is expected that Mr.. Beecher and Mrs.
Tilton will submit full statements. Frank
Moulton would not say whether he had pre-
pared any statement for publication. An
intimate friend and advisor of Beecher said
there were several parties who had seen
and read the original statement made by
Tilton exculpating Beecher from all charges
| latterly preferred against him by IlltoI
and that they were prepared, 1t summoned
before the committee, to swear to that fact

The former offers, if Gov. Davis will with

and without bloodshed. Gov. Davis de
clines to treat with Col. French. The ne

The whites claim that the negroes alone
have been defiant that the Governor ha!
made no attempt to execute the laws. A

that Grant had countermanded Belknap
order was wildly cheered.
