Another Card from Tilton.

New York, Dec. 26.-Theodore Titon is out
in a card in reply to Mr.. Beecher's article in
the Christian Union. First. he says he has
proved to the belief of three-fourths OF the
country that Mr.. Beecber is guilty. He asserts
that the criminal intimacy between Beecher
and Mrs. Tlton extended over fourteen months,
and he is compelled by the Court to specify the
time of particular offences which reduces his
case to three counts. He therefore gives no.
tice that he will never appear in the civil suit
if compelled to leave out nine-tenths of his
testimony as required by this bill OF particulars
In the second place he urges Mr. Beecher to
proceed in the criminal suit which be has
brought against him (Tilton) for libel. He will
put no obstacle in his way to an early trial.
Thirdly, Mr.. Tiltcn understands that as soon
as Mr.. Beecher's managers have restricted him
(Tilton) SO as to make his proofs inadmissable
which do not give the date OF particular OF
fences, they will as an act OF magnanimlty
withdraw the suit against Tilton for libel. In
the fourth place, Mr.. Tilton gives all the par
ticulars of crime committed by Mr.. Beecher in
his possession. None OF these are new. He
closes as follows: Furthermore, ask all just
men to join with me in declaring that it Mr..
Beecher shall still further clog and hamper the
civil action on one hand and at the same time
shall withdraw the criminal prosecution on the
other thus using both these cases to only pre-
vent me from submitting to jury the general
fact of his long-continued adultery, MIR. Beech
er shall thea be deemed to have confessed Judg-
ment, and must stand self acknowledged as
guilty before the civilized world.
The Bill of Particulars. i,4.a

ment Monday next.
