The scandal suit.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE report that Til
tons lawyers have deserted him is untrue
Beecher is reported as very much dissatisfied
and indignant at the result of the Moulton-
Proctor suit because he was not allowed to tes-
tify personally. He unwistly suggested that
the case be re-opened, but Evarts persuaded
him to keep quiet.
The result of the consultation yesterday
between Judge McCue, Nelson and Reynolds
was announced in the City Court of Brooklyn
this morning, being the -postponement OF the
suit of Tilton against Beecher till the first
Monday of the January term of court.
The real settlement of the Proctor case is
due to Col. joni H. George of New Hampshire
at whose suggestion and for the sole benefit OF
Miss Proctor without regard to its bearing upon
Beechsr the vindcation of her character and
reputation was brought about.
In the suit of Tilton VS. Beecher Judge Nc
Cue has decided to grant the bill of particulars
with certain limitations.

are aware the lungs are mass of Sores and ulcer
