Right we'll do those old spriDgs-goers show
their wisdom who select this month, OF all
others in the year, for their soJourn in the
mountains. The gayety Of the season is
over-the band has left-no longer is the
German the all-absorbing topic Of CONVERSE
ton. Those who remain enjoy that which
is far better than the dissipation which these
pleasures bring with them. They luxurlate
in the purest and most bracing of atmos-
pheres, and have the consolation OF Knowing
that when they return home it will not to be
to have the bloom of health, gained IN the
mountains, robbed of them by heated city.
The company here is quite good for the
season Of the year, there being between one
hundred and fifty and two hundred VISITORS !;
and Messrs. Peyton s. Co. will find that it
was no short-sighted policy in their reducing
the board to two dollars per day. /
There was quite commotion here among
the darkies tonight occasioned by hg ht be-
tween three of the dining-room servants. LII
appears that just after all the guests had re-
tired from supper Nelson Jones and Booker
Martin got into an alteration, when the lat
ter drew pistol and fired at Jones MS
aim, however, was fortunately destroyed by
the steward, who was standing by, and the
ball passed harmlessy over the head OF
Jones, burying itself in the wall. A fight
ensued, in which Henry Parsons, the "big.
gest" negro here, took hand. The result
was a smashed head for Parsons and an
ugly cut across the face for Martin.
The weather here continues very line.
The mornings and nights are SO cool that
fires and overcoats are almost indispensable,
while in the middle of the day it is quite
warm, the thermometer standing at about 50
degrees in the shade. ~

Moulton's Supplemented Statements.


NEW YORK, September 11.-Moulton pub.
fishes his additional statement this afternoon.
He excuses its appearance by saying that the
hope he had entertained that Beecher would
do him justice has failed, and he and bis
friends think the question of veracity raised
by Mr. Beecher ought to be settled; hence
he presents this comparison of his previous
givipgs out with Beecher's defence. Il!
The substantial points relate to Moultop's
vindications Of bis efforts az o peacemaker
between the several parties to the scandal !;
secondly, to various questions Of veracity
between Beecher and himself; thirdly, the
nature and explanation of the famous letter
of apology; fourthly, Beecher's confession
in regard to the criminal charges; filthy,
answers to various personal charges against
Moulton, evolved in Beecher's statement :;
sixthly, the presentation of the whole matter
of alleged matchmaking (; seyenthly, an cpl.
sode from the Bowen difficulty and finally,
numerous Incidental matters.

NEW YoRH, September 11.-Moulton's
statement makes twenty columns. Among
the letters printed is note enclosing check
and directing Moulton to use it at bis discre-
ton. Another is friendly note making an
appointment. In it he sends his love to
Mrs. Emma MoultoD, and writes show

times" One letter from Mrs. Morse is pro-
duced, in which she refers to his secret and
says that only six persons know it. A letter
dated July 2Sth, 1874, is to be produced,
and by it Moulton intends to show that up
to that date Beecher had not felt harsh to-
ward him /; even though he had paid 81, 600
blackmail. -
The Herald, in a summary of the state
ment, says Moulton will show, first, that he
did render efficient counsel and aid to
Beecher after the publication of Bacon's
letter, and AYERS in this respect Wilful false
hood; second, that he was blackmaier,
and that Beecher was not a blackmailer, in
that he ayaied himself of the power which
Tilton had to extract from Bowen certiii-
cate of character; third, that the devices to
which be resorted were Beecher's own sug-
gestions. and made in an effort to save Beech
err; fourth, he gives specifically in words the
justification which Beecher gave to him for
his adultery with Mrs. Tilton--yiz.: "This
physical expression of love was as mutual as
the words. of endearment he used towards
her" This, Moulton says, was the first
enunciation of the doctrine Of free love that
