Mr.. TiltOn Makes Further Explana-
ton.

New YoRK, July 27.-The Brooklyn
Argus publishes the following card from
Mr.. Tilton:
81 respectfully call public attention
to the fact that, though the Plymouth
Church Committee have this morning
published eight or ten columns of ir-
relevant and desnltory conversation be-
tween Mr.. Beecher's counsel and myself,
in the committee-room, vet this volum-
inous report strangely omits the most
important part of my testimony, name-
ly, that the criminality which my sworn
statement charged upon Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher and his religious victim
aaGs confessed 10 me not outy By herself, bnt
By NJ. Beecher; furthermore, that it was
confessed by her and him to Mr.. Moul-
ton, friend and counselor of both; and
still further, that Mr.. Moulton's Office as
mediator for four years between Mr.
Beecher and me was based on the one
sole fact of this pre-existing criminality
between Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton.
This statement / made TO the committee
with my utmost plainness of speech. |
furthermore stated TO the committee that
Mr.. Beecher's apology to me, instead of
growing out of any circumstances with
which Ms. Woodruff was connected
was communicated to me by Mr.. Beech
er nearly six months before I ever met,
knew or saw Mrs. Woodruff. The
omission of these facts from the commit
tees report forces me to lay them before
the public as a necessary part Of my
case. THEODORE TILTON."

FALLING Orr N IMMIGRATIoS.-
Last year, during the first six months,
the total number of arrivals of imni-
grants, at New York, was 148, ,4S2. This
year, for the first six months, the num-
Der of arrivals has declined to 1928.
Here Is decrease Of 7O,l5O, or very
nearly one-half. This decrease is so.
marked that it leads to the expression of
a belief in New York, that, whil,t here
tofore the annual number of arriving
immigrants, at that port has reached
100000, this year it will not greatly ex-
eeed 100000. The chief comparative
falling off is said to be in the number of
German arrivals, fact which is to some
extent accounted for by the circumstance
that the German steamers did not this
year reduce their steerage passage fares,
as the English vessels did. The great
decline in this lucrative trade will suffi-
ciently explain the extreme rivalry of
the English lines in cutting down steer
age fares to the Low rates that have pre-
vailed from British ports this spring and
summer. Although the number of ar
irving Immigrants have this year so
greatly decreased, yet as a class those
who have come are said to be composed
Of much better material than usual.

The Persecution of Tilton.

From the Brooklyn Argus.
Instead of waiting for the action OF the
committee, there are those who have
constituted themselve into a tribunal,
not to investigate anything which Mr.
Beecher may have done, but to investi-
gate, try and condemn Theodore TiIton.
A few only are guilty of this thing, but
this few are bold, INSCRIPTIONS, and de-
termined upon the ruin of Mr.. Tilton.
If Mr.. Tilton has manufactured the state
ments made against Mr.. Beeeher, there
Is no punishment which can be too Sc
we're for the perpetrator of such a das-
tardly conspiracy and crime. But
generous public will say, if Mr.. Tilton
has suffered the sorrow which he has
portrayed, that his cup is full, and that
this persecution of him is one of the
most monstrous things in history. Col
umns are written to defame him." He
is publicly called lying wretch, black
mailer, willing cuckold, n saphead,
fool, charlatan, villain, periurer, sneak
ana outlaw. We do not belleve that
anything so cruel and outrageous has oc-
Cured in the country since the burning
of the witches at Salem. Naught but
universal contempt fills the minds of all
fair men in regard to it. 1t makes the
blood boil with Indignation to realize
that we live in community where such
things can be tolerated. The regard for
Theodore Tilton, in Brooklyn, has been
almost universal. The regard for Mr..
Beecher, and the pride felt in his COM
manding genius, extend over two conti-
nents. If one has erred, it is not i'm
possible that the other may err. Mr..
Beecher's actions are now under discus
sion, not those of Mr., Tilton.

wooden bridges and three treslle works
over the same stream were also swept
away.
In Charters Valley, a stream which
runs parallel with the Saw Mill Run,
and emptieS into the Ohio River three
miles below, the loss oflife is reported TO
he very great. All the little runs emp
tying into Charters Greek, became
rushing rivers. On Brush Run, the
fences and bridges are ali gone, and a
great deal of valuable property destroy
ed The loss Of human life has been
frightful.
At McLaugl Inns Run eleven persons
were drowned, among Them q hole fam
ily by the name Of Mclean being swept
away. A house owned by Mr.. Stratton,
which had been standing a hundred
years, was torn away, and after being
taken down stream a mile and a half in
the rushing waters, Mr.. Stratton sue
eeeded in making his escape. Vast
quantities of property were destroyed.
During the flashes of lightning, horses
and cattle and animals of all kinds could
be seen floating on the torrent. and their
bellowings of terror could be heard above
the roar of the food.
Up to midnight very few particulars,
in addition to those sent previously,
came in. Nearly all papers of the city
have tried strenuously 10 arrive It an
accurate list of all the killed and cstim-
ate of loss of property, but have been I'M
successful. The scattered condition OF
the districts devastated by food, and the
bewildered condition Of the people in the
places inundated, render ii impossible Ia
give anything like accurate statements
a. to facts and figures. All reports rs to
losses are, therefore, To q great extent,
simply estimates. The Commercial
places the Aoss Of life in the Butcher='
Run and Allegheny City districts at 147,
while the Dispatch only makes it 125.
/ The mos; carefully prepared figures.
however, give the total loss of life at 219
With regard TO property, ii is simply
impossible to give an idea thar can be
considered reliable.

morning with hondsmen, he was allow
ed to go till that time on his own recoc-

stance Of William J. Gaynor, recently
from Boston, where he had n law office
He is now member of tie Brooklyn
Argus staff. Mr.sGaynor says his only
object in causing the arrest Is to bring

Great excitement prevails in Brook
lyn, and the matter is discussed in all
the leading New York hotels.
Mr.. TILToN "GoEs UP SMILING"
This warrant was also sworn to, and
the two gentleman left. Justice Riley

residence, served the warrant, and Til
ton accompanied him to the Courtroom
He strided up to the Bench
Mr.. Tilton (smilingl-''I hear you
want me, Judge"
Justice Riley-"Well, there's charge
of libel here against you"
The afidayits were read and also the
warrant.
"What do you say to that charge?"
asked the Justice.
Mr.. Tilton-" Everything is true"
Justice Rilcy-''Yes, but how do you
plead?"
Mr.. TiIton-"W Well, not gnilty Be
fore you take that, l would ask if it
| makes any difference in regard to the
case as to the way | plead?''
Justice Riley-'.You plead not guilty,
and of course you are entitled to an ad
iournment and hearing
Mr., Tilton-''Not guilty, then.
The Justice took the plea and as he
worte il down said; Mr.. Tilton, you
will be here tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock. | will allow vou to go on your
own rtcoanizaucr.
This ended the matter, and Mr.. Ill
ton, after asking if he had better have
| counsel in the morning. and being an

THE PUBLIC SCHot Is OF SwrTzER-
LAND The Swiss Times says that, ac-
cording to the new Constitution, the
public schools of Switzerlan d may be at
tended by the members of all sects with
out prejudice to their liberty of consci-
ence. Convinced that religious instruc-
tion in elementary schools ought not to
be dispensed with, the Society for Liber-
al Christianity of Switzerland had taken
the initiative'by offering prizes for book
of unsectarian religious instruction. Two
prizes, 500 francs, have been proAered
for the two best works. They must be
sent in, anonymously at present, by the
end of March, 1875. The work may be
in the German or French language
The authors will retain their proprieta-
ry rights, but the Society resever to itself
the liberty of publishing one of the works
by paying proper remuneration to the
author.

The FOrbearance of the Press.

We admire the consistency of con-
demning the newspapers, up hill and
down, for dealing with the Beecher scan
dal and going into the pulpit and preach
ing about it. The fact if, that the news
papers haye kept silent about it for six
years, and never would have mentioned
it if it had not been forced upon them
by the clerical profession sitting in coun-
ell and by the religious press.-Spring-
feld Republican,.

From last sunday Sermon OF Rev T.r, Fulton,
Of New York.
This man Beech cut loose from the
old nloorings, and the cable that holds
his bark is stretched so far that his keel
grinds on the rocks, and he now finds
that Notwithstanding Gods mercy, sin
kills. Sin finds men out, and when it
has found them out it betrays them"
The temptations of a minister are pecu-
liar, and grow out of his work. He
sneer7 at some old doctrine, perhaps
without thought of consequences. On
the next Sunday the attendance at his
church is larger, the complainings of
the pious brethren making the wicked
anxious to see the man who dare strike
ont from the shoulder. The apostle of
liberty becomes the favorite of the ire
ligious and of the secular press, and the
more periIous the teachings the more
popular grows the teacher. The minis
ter who feels that he would be accursed
if he preached any other Gospel than
that of Christ, though not appreciated
at the time, finds that it pays to stand
with God.

An interesting problem Of the frontier
is, why the Arickaree Indians, stead fast
friends of the whites for over half cen
tury, are without arms and ammunition,
while the hostile Sioux are armed with
Spencer rifles.
The German military authorities have
determined to revoke their absurd order
which prohibited soldiers from drink
ing water while on the march. This
privation caused many deaths during the
Franco Prussian war
