RRAMs OF LOVE JRTTRRs TO Mr.. BEgcHRR,
A gentleman, whose official business
has led him to receive and open much Of
Mr.. Beecher's 8 correspondence, said last
evening that In Mr.. Beecher's love letters
you would be surprised to know how
toolishly some women write TO him,
Every once In while woman gets lit.
le crazy and writes to Mr.. Beecher 10 tell
how much she adores him. Letters used
to 60 TO the Independent Office and Mr..
Tilton, under orders from MIR. Beecher
opened them. Many OF them he made
copies oi, and to-day has manuscripts,
names and copies Of letters, all connected
with respectable ladies who have foolish
ly written 10 Mr.. Beecher all about their
love for him. BE receives love letters by
the ream and cord, and the Joke oft Is
that as his vile takes care OF all
letters that comes to him, she reads
tho love letters before he sees them.
Mrs. Tilton's letters to Mr. Beecher
were very affectionste and enthusiastic,
and expressed deep, pervading love In
him. Mrs. Beecher read them all before
he saw them, and they are all In her pos
session now. When the scandal was first
noised about, Mrs. Beecher locked up the
letters, and, at Mrs. Tilton's request, has
preserved them for her. You can't con-
vince Mrs, Beecher that her husband Is
guilty OF anything that Tilton charges
She says that If all the women in creation
were TO swear that Beecher had been un-
faithful, abe wouldn't believe them.

New YoRK, July 23.-The Beecher In.
vestigating Committee met this evening
at the resideuce OF Augustus ..Storrs, In
Brooklyn. II was slated by one oil the
members Of the committee that no wit.
nesses were examined, but that the origi-
nal letters copied In Tilton's statement
were submitted to the committee for ex-
animation. The committee will meet again
tomorrow when 1t Is believed Henry
Ward Beecher and Mrs. Tilton will sub.
nit their full statements. Frank Moulton
would not say whether he had prepared
any statement for publication. An init
mate friend and adviser Of Mr.. Beecher
said thatthere were several parties who
had seen and read the original statement
made by Tilton exculpatipg Beecher from
all the charges latterly preferred against
him BY Tiltou, and that they were pre-.
pared, Il summoned before the committee,
10 swear to that TACT.
