MOuItOn Chary.

Mr.. Moulton was chary to me of Mr..
Tilton's condolences to him, reporting TO
me in a general way Mr.. Tilton's words
and outbreaks of passion, only as elements
of the trouble which he was able to con-
troll and as additional proof of the wis
dem of leaving it to him. His comment
of the situation seemed To me at the time,
completely immersed aS / WAS in inc"s-
SAINT care and duties. and only too glad
to be relieved from considering the
details Of and wrctchcd complications of
the origin. and the fact of which remains
in spite Of all friendly intervention, a
perpetual burden to my soul. | would

From time to time my suspicious were

but my suspicious were rapidly aIIayed

words and by the assurances Of Mr.
Moulton who ascribed the circumstan-

the part of Others. 1t i. plain to me now
that il was not until Tilton had fallen
into disgrace and lost his salary, that he
thought it necessary to assist me with
the charges which he pretended to have
had in mind for six months.

Beechcr's Statement.

GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE:-In
statement addressed TO the public on
the 22d of July last, / gave an explicit,
comprehensive and solemn denial to the
charges made by Theodore Tilton against
me; that denial now repeat and reaf-
firm. 1 also stated in that communica-
ton that l should appear before your
committee with more detailed state
ment and explanation Of the facts in the
case. Four years ago Theodore Tilton
fell from one of the proudeSt editorial
chairs in America, where he represented
the cause of religion, humanity and pa
triOtism, and in a few months thereafter
became the associate and representative
of Victoria Woodruff and friend of her
strange cause. By his fOllieS he was
bankrupt in reputation, in occupation and
in resources. The interior history of
which am now to give brief outline,
is the history of his attempts to so en-
plOy me as to reinstatc him in business,
restore his reputation, and place him
again upon the cmincncc from which he
had fallen. 1T is sad history,
to the full meaning of which
we have but recently awakened; entan-
glcd in wilderness of complications,
| followed until lately, false theory and
dclusivc hope, believing in the friend
who assured me of his determination
and ability to control the passionate va
garics of Mr.. Tilton, restore his house
hold, to rebuild his fortunes and to vindi-
cate him to the world, and he would be
equal to that promise

to be used for the purpose Of compro-
missing and settling all difficulties between
them, and of presenting so far as possible
any knowledge of their private affairs
being brought to public notice. For this
purpose ali their matters have been en-
trusted to me, and for none other. If |
should now Use them it would not be for
the purpose of peace and reconciliation,
but to voluntarily take part in the con-
troversy, which they have seen fit to re-
new between themselves. How faith
fully, earnestly and honestly | have Ia
bored to do my duty to both parties they
both know.

The Ladies' Interested.

The ladies particularly greatly enjoyed
the movements and earnest watchings of
the reporters. They had not ken their
places long before Beccher himself came
out and sat down on the top step, occa-
sionally joining the rest in hearty
laugh. Assistant pastor Holiday Wa.
received by his chief very cordially, and
remained seated by Beechcr for some
time. When the committee had COM
pleted their consultation they very cor
daily shook Beechcr by the hand, and
immediately took their departure.

TiIton.s Real Motive Made Apparent.

His self-confcssed failure has made
clear to me what for long time l did not
suspect, the real motive of Mr.. Tilton.
Ny narration does not represent single
stand point but only as regards my Opin-
ion of Theodore Tilton. 1t begins with
my cordial intimacy with him i'll his ear
lier career; shows my sorrowful
but hopeful affection for him during the
period of his initial wanderinss from
truth and virtue. 1t describes my re-
pcntcncc over the evils Detailing him, of
which ! WAS made to believe myself the
cause; my perscvering and de s:pairing
efforts to save him and his family by any
sacrifice of myself, not absolutely dis
honorable and my growing convictions
that his perpetual folies and blundcrings
renders his recovery impossible.
