PASSIONS.

lntlln ate friend of The Richards family from
whom we derived the account OF some Of
Mrs. TiltOnS confessions that she had com
mitted adultery with Mr.. Byecher. which
was published in the Sun on June I, now iu-
forms us that Mrs. Richards has In her pos
session several letters from Mrs Tilton
which entirely overthrow the assertion Of
ner a1llditNlt that her nus Oand made her con-
less. In fact, he says her confessions to Mr..
and MIS-. Richards were nos made under any
| compulsicn or influence Of her husband. but
ON her part.
Mrs. TiltOn's confession to Miss Susan B.
Anthony, as we are informed. so far from
having been made through COnStraint or
moral pressure eXerted by her husband, was
in fact the sequel TO violent quarrel be-
tween herself and her husband, in the course
| of which Miss Anthony had taken the de-
fence of Mrs. TiltOn against her husband.
