NEW YORK dispatches state that the Beech
er-Tilton case is in greater stew than ever.
All kinds of conjectures are entertained and
all kinds of rumors in circulation, some stat
ing that Beecher will commence q suit for
libel against Moulton or Titon; others stat
ing that the next Grand Jury will be asked TO
find criminal indictment against them; and
still others, that Beecher will rely upon the
righteousness of his cause and do or say
nothing more. The best friends of Beec her
declare, however. that if he takes no legal
measures against his accusers, it will be equal
to confession of his guilt. The Plymouth
Church people are exceedingly exercis ed, but
the general sentiment among them is to
await Beecher's return, and then declare
what further steps to take, if any.
