MIR. TILTON,s LETTER TO THE
GENERAL COMMITTEE.
Gentlemen Of the Committee :

Gentlemen Of the Committee:
In communicating to you the de-
tailed statement of facts of evidences
which you have been several days
expecting at my hands, let me re-
mind you of the circumstances
which call this statement forth.
In my recent letter to DIR. Bacon.
alluded to an offense and an apol-
ogy by the Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er, 10 whOmsoever else this illu-
sion seemed indefinite, to Mr.. Beech
er it was plain. The offense was
committed by him; the apology was
made by him; both acts were his
own, and were among the most mo-
mentous occurrences of his life. Of
all men in Plymouth Church, OF. in
the world, Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er was the one man. who was best in
formed concerning this offense and
apology, and the one man who least
needed to inquire INTO either. New
ertheiess while possessing a perfect
knowledge of both these acts done
by himself, he has chosen to put on
a-public affectation of ignorance and
innocence concerning them, and has
conspicuously appointed commit
the of the .ablest men of his church,
together with two attorneys. to in
qulre into what he leaves You to re-
gard as the unaccountable mystery
OF this otfense and apology; as if he
had@neither committed the one nor
offered the other; but as if both
were the mere fgments of another
mans imagination-thus adroitly
prompting the public to draw the
deduction thatI am person under
some hallucination- or deIusion. liy-
ing in dream, and forging a fraud.
furthermore, in order to cast over
this explanation the delicate gla-
mour which always lends a charm to
the defense of woman's honor
Mrs. Elizabeth R. Tilton, lately nv
%lte' has been prompted awav from
ner nome, to reside among Mr.. Beech.
ers friends, and to Cooperate with
hlm In the ostensibly honest and
laudable inquiry into facts concern
ing which, she too, as well as he. has
for years past had perfect and equal
knowledge with himself.
This investigation, therefore, has
been publicly pressed upon me by
MIR. Beecher, seconded by Mrs. Til
ton, both of whom in SO doing have
united In assuming before the public
'ne hon-exlstence of the grave and
solemn facts into which thew have
conspired to investigate, for the mr.
pose, IS mot not OF ell eeIIiciting, but of denying.
the truth. This joint assumption by
them, which has seemed to your com
mlttee to be in good faith, has nat
urally led you into an examination
In which you expect to find on their
part, nothing but innocence, and on
my part nothing but slander. Il is
now my unhappy duty, from which
l have in vain hitherto sought earn
estly to be delivered, to give Won
the facts andeyidenoes for reversing \
your opinion on this subject.
In doing this painful, l may saw |

AsHTABULA OHIO, SATURDAY, AUGUST l. 1874

this examination, and next to Mrs.
Tilton, who has joined him in a con-
spiracy which cannot fail to be full
of peril and wretchedness to many
hearts.
l call you to witness that in my
first brief examination by your COM
mittee l begged and implored you
not to inquire into the facts of this
case, but rather to seek to bury them
beyond all possible revelation. Hap
py for all concerned had this en-
treaty been needed! 1t is now too
late. The last opportunity for re-
Cancellation and settlement has pass
ed. This investigation, undertaken
by you in ignorance of dangers
against which Mr.. Beecher should
have warned you in advance, will
shortly prove itself, to your surprise,
TO have been an act of wanton and
wicked folly, for which Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, as its originator and
public sponsor, will hereafter find
no "space for repentance, though he
seek it carefully and with tears. :"
This desperate man must hold him
self only, and not me, accountable
for the wretchedness which these
disclosures will carry to his own
home and hearth as they have al
ready brought to mine.
Twill add that the original docu-
ments referred to in the ensuing
sworn statement are, for the most
part, in my possession, but that the
apology and a few other papers are
in the hands of Mr.. Francis D. Moul-
ton. Truly yours,

WHAT HAVE xog Done.
BIZ GEORGE W. BUEeAY.
The nnerY now IS not.

The qu-ry now Is not,
What values have you got,
In banks, or stock, or in estate,
But what deetls have you done,
In shadow or in sun,
To make the people gnod or great?
You have IA reason why,
You hold your head so high.
And stride in pOmp along the street.
Can you show any one,
The good that you have done
To make life sunny, pure and sweet!
Ship loads of costly wares,
Bank stocks and railroad shares,
Are proper things to have and hold.
But he has little won,
Who nothing else has done,
But gather greenbacks, stocks and gold.
You eat at ease and drink,
You sleep but do not think
OF any mortal save yourself;
Since life with yUu begun,
What have you ever done
To make man better, with your pelf?
Do you assist the poor?
Or drive them from your door,
When panics pinch with want and cold
Can any mothers son,
Thank you for what you've done
To aid him with advice and gold?
You cannot always live,
Now is your time to give,
And letyour heartpuIse in your palms
Heaven smiles on every one,
Whose deeds discreetly Gone,
Give added blessings 10 their aims.
Rugs in the wind that flies,
Pale faces, hollow eyes
And the unwOrking multitude
Appeal to every one,
And ask what have you done
To feed the hungry, clothe the nude?
Streets filed with the untaught,
Foreheads unlit with thought,
Mouths full of speech base and profane,
Might shame at noon the sun;
Alas what have we done,
To wash away the sCathing stains?
May benedictions fall
From Heavens starry wall,
On those who lift the irodden down;
And when life's race is run,
May they all hear "well done"
Thou good and faithful, take the crown.
A PLEA FOR THE LITTLE ones.
Gather them closer to your loving heart
Cradle them on your breast
They will soon enough leave your brood
ing care
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair,
Little ones in the nest
Fret not that the cliildren's hearts are gay,
That the restless feet will run; :;
There Will come time in the by and by,
When you'll sit in your lonely room and
sigh
For a sound of childish fun.
When you'll long for the repetition sweet,
That sounded through each room,
OF "mother, mother" the dear love calls,
That will echo long in the silent halls,
And add to their stately gloom
There may come time when you'll long
to hear
The eager, boyish tread,
The tuneless whistle, the clear, shriII
= shout.
The busy bustling in andout,
And the pattering overhead.
When the boys andgirls are all grown up,
And scattered far and wide,
Or gone to that beautiful golden shore,
Where sickness and death comes never
more,
You will miss them from your side
Then gather them close to your loving
heart
Cradle them On your breast:
They will soon enough leave your brood
ing care
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair,
Little ones in the nest.

County Politics.

We hear of some names mentioned in
connection with county officers for the
ensuing election. The April term of
county court always furnishes an oppor
tunity for little talk, and now we hear
some things from the people outside of
the court. For Senators the names of A.
A. Wyman of Athens, John Robertson
of Putney and A. G. Howard of Towns
bend, are mentioned, and it is gratifying
that we are to have so good list of
names to select from. If the friends of
Mr.. Wyman finally conclude to present
his name, it will be done not only on ac-
count of the fitness of their candidate,
having legislative experience of some
seven years, but also on the ground that
the smart little town of Athens has never
had senator in the history of the State.
Mr.. Robertson has also represented his
town in the legislature, and Mr.. Howard
has served several terms there and was
a member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1870, and one of the most ear
nest working men in the delegation from
this county.
In the south probate district Hon.
George Howe Of Brattleboro and o. E.
Butterfield are named. For States at
torney, 0. E. Butterfeld and E. W.
Stoddard are proclaimed. Up to this
writing we have heard nothing as to
sheriff but S. N. Herrick of BrattleborC
is as likely at this time as any one tc
receive that nomination. WIS. Newton
of Brattleboro is spoken of for assistant
judge.
Since writing the above we are in
formed that the friends of M. w. Davi
of Westminster will present bis nam
for Senator. Mr.. Davis is an en-
terprising farmer of Westminster an
has had legislative experience havin
formerly represented the town of Athen
in the Legislature.

The republican convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for Congress in the
third district, is to be held on the 10th OF
June. The Burlington Free Press says
there is no doubt of the denomination OF
their present representative. Hon. George
w. Hendee. In the first district there
are some indications of opposition to the
denomination of Hon. G. w. Willard,
the present member. The Bennington
Banner announces Col. G. III. Joyce as
its first choice.
