have read to Mr.. Tilton and to Mr..
Beecher, which both deem honorable

of which, SO far as / am concerned, ,ithey
both concur" Tilton's friends say it is
idle to talk to him of q compromise.
Nothing can stop the case except the
total surrender of the committee. TEL.
ton has already taken eminent legal ad-
vice as TO the best method of carrying
his case, where in his Judgment it be-
longs, in the courts. Mr.. TiltOn regards
the committee and its report as a mere
incident in the future development OF
the case; that the interests involved are
SO great that they can properly only be
settled in conformity with rules that
govern courts, where testimony is taken
under oath. TiltOn will meet the COM
mittee next Monday. The Argus says
Mr.. Tilton is
IN TIGHT PLACE,
iI he realized it. Mr.. Tucker would not
permit any one to broaeh the subject of
the compromise at this stage of affairs,
and the committee have secuted the
idea. They have alre&dy had enough
to convince them that Iilton has weak
case, and that he is at present trying to
avoid an issue. Mrs. Tilton remains 1T
the residence of Edward J. OvingtOn.
She was willing todo anything for the
cause of peace and religion. In answer
to a question whether the case was to be
compromised, Tilton said: "I know
nothing of future events. l
only know my present duty, which is 10
make sworn statement, which | have
promised the committee, of exact facts
in the case. / have tried for four years,
using my best wit, which has proved
small, in endeayoring to cloak and con-
ceal the facts which are to be divulged.
The responsibility of divulging them
belongs not to me, for l would rather
keep them buried. This responsibility
belongs to
MR.. BEECHER,
who has commissioned six men of bis
own church To examine into the facts,
which, when they are made known, will
put an end to Mr.. Beecher's ministry,
and show him to have been guilty Of a
degree of criminality which the world
little suspects, and TO have attempted to
shield himself by putting forth another

know nothing, and shall accept none"
Mrs. Ovington's residence has been
visited by numbeIless newspaper men,
but the lady has quietly declined to talk
with any representiyo of the press. Mr.. /
Ovington reports that Mrs. Tilton in
formed Mr.. Tilton on Saturday morn
ing last that in consequence of the /
course he had taken, henceforth their |
paths were apart. The Union has the |
following;
MR. TILToN,
in an interview to-day, said; "The first |
had of the existence of the |
Beecher investigation committee was am
announcement made to me last Thurs |
day night by Mrs. TiltOn, who informed /
me on her coming in after having been, /
as [ supposed, spending a social evening /
with some friend, that by Mr.. Beeeher's /
advice, communicated to her through /
his lawyer, she had just been before 4
such a committee and had an
swered some questions put to her \
in advance by that lawyer, for the pur-
pose Of clearing Mr.. Beecher OF the
charges and imputations made against /
him by public papers in connection with
her name. She had been informed, she
told me, that her testimony, if taken as
required, would put an end to tne
