New-York tribune., 1874-08-03

conducted than the one which the police have
just now discovered. The aim of all keepers
of such places is to destroy, not preserve, the
infant-to save the guilty parents from ex-
posure and shame at the cost of the life OF
the child. There are institutions In the city
under proper surveillance. and maintained al
heavy cost by charitable institutions, at whlch
unfortunate children of more unfortunate
mothers are cared for; but the private nur
series are without exception infamous, ana
the business ought to be broken up. lt does
seem that the police ought to be able to do
this when the keepers boldly advertise their
haunts. We are glad to learn that the Coro-
ner means to make thorough examination
into this matter, and hope that some Oh tne
guilty persons will be punished severely
enough to deter the others.
Mr.. Belmont, having had his attention caiied
TO certain articles in THE TRIBUNE, wherein
the relation of the Messrs. Rothscblld 10 u o.
loans is mentioned, consents to notice theh'
in order TO say that they are untrue. Having
had orr attention called to Mr.. BelmOnts let
for. we consent TO notice it to say that ne IS
mistaken. The brief allusion to remark by
ON tbe subject of dispute was made in IHE
TRIBUNE on the direct personal authority OF
the prominent public man to whom the re-
mark was made,-a gentleman, we beg, IN all
kindness, to inform Mr.. Belmont, whose word,-
or whose signature,-weghs quite as much as
his own, either in Wall Street or in Lombard
Street. Weare glad, however, to accept Mr.. Bel
mont's assurance that he ehimselfnever falteredln
his conviction that the war for the Union was
sure to succeed; and shall be even
better pleased, Oh his account, when he ex-
plains how he recOnciled that faith with his
attitude in the darkest hour of the struggle,
rs Chairman of the National Committee of his
party, conducting campaign for the defeat
of Abraham Lincoln, on platform that
solemnly declared the war for the Union
failure.
Mr.. F. u. MoultOn still fails either to make
an appearance before the Brooklyn Committee
or give them any opportunity to deter
mine the genuineness of the letters by
Mr.. Beecher he is said to hold. His
friends claim that he has the key
of the situation, and that, as his position Is
hard one at best he is perfectly right IN re-
fusing to testify till after Mr.. Beecner mas
been heard, i'll order that he may then be able
to meet the latest phases of the case. The
public will be apt to hold that Mr.. Moulton,
by virtue Of the place of gO-between he
seems TO have sought, is bound to tell what
he knows; that he is really responsible
for Tilton's charges, and must either
prove them true, or accept also the re-
spOnsiblity for the attempt at moral
murder they involve. Mrs. Tilton's last
examination, of which we print pretty full
abstract, reveals pitiful and sickening story
1t seems to bear the impress OF truth
but it does not go to the marrow
of the matter, the pivot on which everything
turns viz, what sufficient warrant was there
for Mr.. Beecher's letters Meantime the wing
of the Woman Suffrage champions with whom
the TitOns specially associated appear
reveling in the general nastinesS; and
gray-hared women eagerly retail to re-
porters the second hand scandal they have
hitherto been tlttling among and about them
selves The whole business is shocking; but
possibly some good may yet come out OF it.
