CANAL FROM BALTIMORE To TIE POTOMAC.
-Mapy years the subject of what was called
the cross-cul canal from the Chesapeake and
!! Ohio canal to Baltimore was a prominent and
seriously urged pre- cct. But the development
of the coal trade by railroad from the Cumoer'
la,d region to our wharves caused It TO be
deem,d Of secondary cons quence. Occasion
| ally, however, the subject is revived, and few
wears ago a project Was before the Maryland

from the Eastern branch, below WASHINGTON,

route to dcbouch near Annapolis, aud carry

peakc and Delaware canal, and thus reach a

particular advantage to Baltimore perhaps, and

THE BEECHER Triton SCANDAL Theodore
Tiltun is now considered to be 10 a state Of
scm-lunacy. Mrs. Tilon has appeared before
the investigating committee, and denied 10 the
most positive manner that there ever was the
sig htest improperly in the conduct OF Mr.
Beechcr toward her. The reason assigned by
Mrs. 'Tton for the strange conduct OF her hus.
band is that when his intimacy with Mrs
Woodruff was al its height she called upon Mr.
Bercher, as Der pastor, and asked him tor his
advice Her feelings had been terribly out
ragged in consequence OF her husband running
after strange women, and publicly announcing
that he had become convert TO the doctrine
of free love. 1t was at that time Mrs. Tilton
asked Mr. Beecher for his advice, and, accord
ing to her statement, he advised her to leave
her husband. With the lapse of time I. t. s
free-love fever cooled, and he learned of the
advice Mr.. Bcccheer had given to his wife land
to that circumstance ull the present trouble and
mystery are due Mrs. Iiton is unable to as
sign any other reason for her husbands con-
duct as she denies ever having told anything
which would lead him or anybody else to sup
pose that MIR. Beecher had treated, or attempt
cd to treat her, improperly.
Theodore Tilton was invited to meet the
committee on Saturday evening, for the pur.
pose OF telling his side of the story. Many Of
Mr. Tton's friends and acquaintance are Of
the opinion that ever since becoming acquaint
ed with and interested 10 Mrs. Woodruff and
other persons Of a like character bis mind has
been in very unsettled condition, and insanity
said to be hereditary in his family, is gradually
developing itself They are confident that he
will utterly break down should he ever appear
before the committee, and as proof that in
sanity is hereditary in the TiIton family it is
alleged that Theodore's brother was for long
time an inmate of the Kings County Luuatic
Asylum at Flatbush. Special dispatch to the
