MRS. TILTON s EVIDENCE.

On the 10th a correspondent OF the chicago
Tribune called upon Mr.. Tilton. What transpred
Is given below
At the correspondents request Mr.. Tton re-
lated how Mrs. Titon came to give her testimony,
as told him by his wife, Her associates All along
have been prominent members OF Plymouth church
and warm friends OF Mr.. Beecher. BY them she
has been urged from time to time to go forward
and tell all she knew OF the difficulty and end the
scandal at once and forever. The cause OF re-
tigon had already been injured by It, and the pros
husband had spoken the truth ana was suffering
from apprehensiOns that he had spoken falsely, 1t
was her duty to vindicate him. IL her pastor was
the injured man.

ine result was that, through friend, she asked
Mr.. Beecher what it was best for her to do. Mr.
Beecher announced that IL would not be proper

THE CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL.

The elimination, as 1t at the time appeared. OF
the gathering storm clouds which rolled up from
tine horizon in this long-vexed controversy about
Mr.. Beecher seemed to have been reached at the
assembly OF the great Brooklyn Council on the
24th OF last March.
Large in numbers, composed OF such distin-
gulshed ministers and lay men among the Congre-
gationalss, and convened TO lay the ghost, II pos

gates, happening to be an editor, furnished some
Information TO his own journal The results OF
those secret caucuses showed, however, how they

The inception OF this crisis OF the storm was the
famous Letter Mlssiver despatched Jointly on
the 9th OF March by the Church OF the Pilgrims and
the Clinton avenue Congregational church. II is
needless to recapitulate this document, or, indeed
the details OF the following events, but 1t may be

"Did Mr.. Beecner ever make any improper over
lures 20 you !" To both these questions she
answered "NO" Then the lady made a briei ad-
dress. She insisted tnat both her husband and
Mr.. Beecher were great, honorable ana worthy
men, who were at l0ggerheads rough singular
misapprehensi0n. she dwelt on the harm done to
the cause OF Christianity by the false stories cir
culated about Mr.. Beecher, which put him, who
hao forty years been urging on the people the
beauty ana wisdom OF a virtuous and religious
llie, In the light oil hypOcrite and knave, ana
spoke OF the suferings OF her husband til nearly
all her hearers were In tears Thus closed the ex-
ANIMATION. 'Poor woman," said Mr.. Triton to
your correspondent.
"sHE Is GUILTY or DELIBERATE FAISEHOOD
on that occasion, but 1t was rom the best oil mo-
tives IN the world"
In response to question as to his motives for
keeping silent 80 long aud at last consenting to
make specific charges, Mr.. TltOn said that all his
personal friends who knew the facts had, before
Mrs. Tilton announced that henceforth their paths
lay apart, advised him to
KEEP SILENCE FOR HER SAKE,
and as this accorded with his own sentiments he
had done so; but now that, by leaving him. she
had withdrawn herself from his protection and, to
TO certain extent, from his pity, he was no
longer under obligations TO keep silence. HIS
friends now insisted tnat 1t was his duty to him
self and to his children to make q statement, and
prove that he mad not been heedessly or dellber-
ately swearing away mans reputation.

THE PRESS ON THE SCANDAL.
The Jury Out.

From the Springfield Republican,
or course there are hot partlsans on the one side
and the other-some sincere and respectable In
their partisanship, some others quite the reverse
who have made up their minds and who
are prepared to applaud or hiss as the
verdict sustains or cOntradicts their the.
ory OF the case. There is a section of
the public who would 60 on believing Mr. Beecher
an innocent and maigned man in the teeth OF almost
any conceivable evidence to the contrary There
is another section of the public to whom this scan
dal mas been meat and drink, and who will 60 on
believing Mr.. Beecher guilty to the end OF the
chapter. Browning knew what he was talking
about when he wrote OF

Whether at marjOraTn sDrg or garlic Glove,
Aught II may sport with, spoil and then spit forth
But these are the exceptions to the rule. The
great majority OF the people, we repeat. have pre-
served throughout this wretched, wretchedly
muddled business the true judicial temper which
declines to judge until such time as 1t has the
facts. They desire truth and justice. Now that
the affair has gone SO far 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that the gentlemen who at present have 1t
In hand will not disappOint them. There has been
lnite enough OF muddling and mystfying already
without any fresh efforts in that line; moreover
they would be almost certain to defeat their own
object

MIR. WilkesOn's Expla atiOn.
from the Sun Of Ju,v On

Why Mr.. Wilkeson exulungly proclaims that Mr. Til
ton admitted after the backmai had been conceded

done MIN had been TO address improper language to his
wile)usS as II that statement 4ne blamed is not bad

1t Is pretty rough on man, my dear editor, to
hastily put sentiment or principle on his lips
and then bang him for what he has neither said
nor thought. What sought by repeating Tilton's
statement to me that Mr. Beecher's only offence
was improper language to mis- wife was to make
him contradict in advance the graver allegations

he is wholly untruthful and not 10 be believed.
! DO not think that Christian ministers may
rghtully ADDRESS improper language 10 women,
and In my testimony there cannot be found the
shadow OF the thought that they may. Nor have
said tnat Mr.. Bcecher did address improper Ian
guage TO any woman, nor do believe that there Is
man on TINS earth who can testify that he did SO
without committing perjury.

MIR. Beecher Must Speak.
from the BROOKLYN EaRle,l


Now, for the FIRST time in all this dreary business,
q specific accusation Is made against the Rev. Mr..
Beecher. Mr.. Tilt0n can no longer fight his bat
ties IN the air. He must stand ial by the proofs
he has to OFFER Of the offence through which ne
obtained 80 much cheap notoriety, while on his
own admission he was lying all the time. In ad
vance of Mr.. Tlt0n's accusation and as q warn
ing to him that she would not be silent under it,
Mrs. rlton has already given testimony In defence
OF her husbands honor and Of her
own. Mr.. Tilton has seen lit to i'm
peach 1t, and for what TO try 10 prove
he was cuckold, and to drag down q clergyman
who Is at the same time the foremost man OF his
Protestant Christianity. 1t is now Tor Mr.. Beecher
to speak. Until he does 80 IT. is needless to ask
suspension Of the worlds judgment. On the one
side are woman's honor ana q clergyman's fame,
and on the other the vlndlcaton OF a man who can.
not be vindicated, Tor he Is his own accuser.
Eagerly, but patiently, hopefully and trusungly,
the world walls for Mr. Beecher's version Of a
story that has wearied the public and cast shadow
on the Christian Church. For the result we have
no lears, except those which grow out Of our
knowledge Of Mr.. Beecher's character, and that
win tend very strongly to induce him to make
sacrifice OF himself rather than to give pain to
others. That the man will vindicate himself we
know; that the clergyman will, we believe. unless
from the American churches there has departed
the spirit OF the teachings OF the Master.

How can we mourn them, or call them dead ?
