Deecher's Statement.

1t is asserted that Beecher has made one
statement to the committee, in which he said
there was an affection between him and Mrs.
Tilton that would naturally exist between a
pastor and confding member of his church.
1t was purely paternal. He distinctly denied
Gao it is stated with all the emphasis possible,
that there had ever been in his mind an i'm
pure thought, or that he discovered in the
mind of Mrs. Tilton suggestion or response
to thought Of impurity. He denied that the
relations had gone beyond father and his
child, and that whoever considered that the
relations took another form did a base and
mighty wrong to the woman. Beecher is re-
ported to have said that he had been led into
advising a separation of Tilton and his wife,
which he endeavored to retrieve, and it was
the knowledge of this offence which had led
to all the efforts of his life the past four years,
and his whole purpose ever since the publica-
ton Of Tilton's letter to Bacon was to atone
for his heedlesshess by endesvoring to recon-
struct that time. He said the above was due
Mrs. Tilton. and that the best kindness in the
future would be complete silence and contri-
ton. This is said to have been made to the
committee by Beecher, when it first as
sembled.

TILToN-BEECHER SCANDAL.
Mr.. Beecher's Statement,
MRS. TILToN'S Defence.

New York. %. This evening several dea-
cons of Plymouth Church, with Mr.. Sher-
man, Mr.. Ross and General Tracy met at
Beechers residence, aed after counsel lasting
about three hours, drew up the following
statement of Mr.. Beecher, as for pubbica-
ton:
II do not propose at this time to prepare a
examination of the remarkable statements of
Mr. Theodore Tilton, made before the com.
mttee of investigation and which appeared
in the Brooklyn Argus Of July 2lst, 70.
recognize the many reasons which make it of
transcendant importance to myself, the
church and cause of public morality that
shall give full answer to the charges against
me; but having requested the committee of
investigation to search this matter to the bot
tom. it is to them that must look for any
vndication. But l cannot delay for an hour
to defend the reputation of Mrs. Elizabeth Il.
Tilton, upon whose name, in connection with
mine, her husband has attempted to pour
shame. One less deserving such disgrace
never knew. From childhood she has been
under my eye, and since reaching woman
hood she has had my sincere admiration and
affection. l cherish for her pure feeling,
such as gentleman might honorably offer to
a christian woman, and which she would re-
ceive and reciprocate without moral scruples.
| reject with indignation any imputation
which reflects upon her honor or my own
My regard for Mrs. Tilton was perfectly
we'll known to my faulty when serious diff
culties sprang up in her household. 1t was
to my wife that she resorted for counsel, and
both of US, acting from sympathy, and, as it
subsequently appeared, without full knowl-
edge, gave unadvised counsel which tended to
harm. have no doubt that Mr.. Tilton found
that his wifes confidence and reliance upon
my judgment had greatly increased while his
influence had diminished, in consequence of
marked change in his religious and social
views which were taking place during those
years. Her mind was greatly exercised lest
her children should be harmed BY views which
she deemed virtually false and dangerous.
was suddenly and rudely aroused to the
reality of imparting danger by disclosure of
domestic distress, of sickness, perhaps unto
death, of the likelihood separation and the
scattering of family, every member Of which
had tenderly loved, The effect upon me of
the discovery of the state of Mr.. Tilton's feel
ings and conditions Of his family, surpassed
in sorrow and excitement anything that had
ever experienced in any life. That my pres
ence, influence and counsel had brought to q
beloved family sorrow and alienation, gave,

Two cases Of considerable interest to the
public as we'll as the legal profession have
just been decided at the Law Court now in
session in Portland,-both Kennebec cases
argued at the recent law term in this district.
George Clark VS.. Henry Clark and the Co.,
of Kennebec trustee. The defendant served
as juror at the last October term OF the
Court, and just at the close of the term, af-
ter the payroll had been made up the trustee
writ was served upon the clerk and treasurer
for the jurors fees. The treasurer made dis
closure of the facts, and the question for the
court was whether under the circumstances
the county should be holden. The full court
have decided that it cannot. Appleton, Gu,
in the rescript says: "The fees of juror
are not goods, effects and credits subject to
the trustee process. Neither the county nor
it's treasurer is chargeable as trustee for such
fees" Vose for plaintiff; Libbey for trustee.
The other case was Arabella f. Stratton, ad.
ministrator, VS.. Charles W. Hussey. The
question of law in this case related to the ex.
tent of lawyers lien for the costs in the
original suit, the present suit being an action
Of debt upon former judgment. Isappear-
ed that the former action was commenced and
partially prosecuted by another attorney, and
the defendant contended that the present at
torney for the plaintiff could maintain his
lien for such costs only as accrued after he
took charge of the action in court. The point
is decided in favor of the plaintiff, as will be
seen by the rescript, also drawn by Appleton,
c. j.: "The lien of an attorney upon jadg-
ment extends to all the fees and disbursements
in prosecuting the action, whether it be prose-
cuted from its commencement to its termina-
ton by the same attorney or by different
ones" Webb for plaintiff; Libbey for de-
