there is, nevertheless, embodied in this
indictment mass of correspondence
which certainly needs to be very clearly
explained or utterly disayowed by Mr..
Beecher and the unhappy woman whose
husband, after, as he says, condoning so
much, has turned so fercely upon her,

Mr. B1ECHER has been such a power
in the country, his influence has been
SO great and in the main SO good, that
his downfall, fit must be admitted, can
ONLY be regarded as a calamity. The
story is sad, strange and incomprehensi-
e.-Hartord C0urant. ..
AND now, with such circumstantial-
ity of details as to almost force convic-
tion. the shameful story is told, and,
whether it be wholly true or only true In
part, it blasts henceforth and forever the
character of two men--One the most EN-
inent preacher of his time, the other
writer of no little public repute.-Bdtt'-
more Gazette.
EVERY decent man or woman who
reads it will turn with loathing from the
wretched egotist who could write the
story of his wife's seduction and ruin in
style that rivals the worst Of sensational
novels. Tilton is a man of unclean I'M
agination, and he seems to revel in the
pruriencv of these shameful revelations.
Even if they are true nothing but sheer
madness could have prompted their pub
licatlon. 1t will be noticed that the
alleged immoralities began six years ago
and ceased three years ago. Why should
Tilton have deferred telling his wrongs
and sorrows TO the world so long? II
there ever could have been any excuse
for such an exposure it would have been
when the injury was fresh.-B0lf'm'Te

- = Does Theodore Tilton
seriously ak the world to believe Mr.
Bcecher took such liberties with the per-
son of Mrs. Tilton, in her husbands pres
cace, that with all Theodore Tllton.-
craft in literary composition he Is unaDle
to find words to describe the act, and that
he (Tilton) waited "a few hours before
asking his wife for an explanation? Does
Theodore Tilton want men to believe
that he is a dog, indeed, and incapable Of
exercising the attributes of ordinary man
hood. but the promptings of tn" brute IN
stinct? In this same paragraph
in which Mr.. Bcccher Is
alleged to have committed an undcScrl-
bahlc offence in his very presence, heteiiS
Us that he found his wife locked in bed
room with Mr.. Becchcr, and that when
he unexpectedly returned home and OBJ
tanned admission to his room Mr.. Bcechcr
was apparently much confused, and "N-
hibitcd a flushed face and for this oc-
currcncc Mrs. TiIton invented and Mr.
Titon received what he calls II 'plauSlb!e

wonder is not that Mrs. Tilton left her
home a week ago. but that she did not
leave it wears before, to escape "SSocla-

somewhat inferior to last week. The

THE DISTRICT FRAUDS.

TESTIMONY REGARDING FRAUDULENT MEASURE
MENTs-IMPORTANT EXPosUREs-A NEW FORM
or GOVERNMENT FOR THE DISTRICT PROPOSED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, April 21.-One of the most serious
accusations against the Board of Public Works of
Washington has been that, by false and fraudulent
measurements the citizens Of the District and the
Government of the United States have been robbed
of immense sums of money. The testimony on tins
point, which has just been reached by the Commit
tee seems likely not only to sustain all that has
ever been charged but to show that the magnitude
OF these frauds has never been even dreamed Of Mr.
Forsyth, the Board engineer, who was witness
before the Committee to-day, admitted that his
methods Of measurement, upon which assessments
have been based, have been of the crudest
kind. HE never made cross sections Of
streets before grading was begun, but esti-
mated the amount Of excavation after the
work was completed, by examining the sides of the
streets and running series of rude levels. The
singular thing about these measurements is that it
is reported that the engineer employed by the Com
mittee and who has not yet been examined, finds
that in almost every street he has surveyed mistakes
have been made, by which contractors have been
paid for from 50 to 100 and $50 per cent work
than they did and that these mistakes are always
In favor of the contractor and against the District
and the citizens. One of the worst cases of this
kind is found in the grading of New-Hampshire-
ave, where the Board engineers allowed 14S,000
yards of excavation, and the Committees engineers
find that only 1900 wards have been done. The
impression made by Mr.. FOrsyth's testimony upon
the Committee to-day was apparently very unfa-
vorable, and caused great Generalization among the
District hing.
The Ring has also Ibeen accused of favoring GER
tain banks and individuals, by the payment to them
Of cash for certificates bought at great discount,
while contractors who did the work were refused
money aud forced TO sell their certificates to these
favored speculators In order to whether this
eusstion was true false, the Committee ordered
Col. MagrudeT the Treasurer of the Board to make
table Of his cash payments. This table he produced
to-day but it contained everything but the nforma-
tfOn desired. II did not show to whom the money
was paid.
Representative Clymer is preparing bill to pro-
vide new form of government for tine District. 1t
proposes to make the VioePresident ex-ocio Presi-
dent of Commission, the other four members of
which 70 be appointed by Congress. The &C
counts Of the District to be placed in charge of

Under the city charter, all moneys voted for internal
improvements must be authorized by an ordinance or
the Legislature and sanctioned by popular approval at
the polls. A special election held to-day and tho
