Gossip Scrapings.
brooklyn Special (Feb. 22) Chicago Tribune.]
A full and detailed report of Bcecher's
remarks to jeremiah Robinson about his
niece's testimony, send you for the first
time: Robinson was talking to Gen.
Tracy, when Beccher walked quickly to-
wards Robinson and said: ''You ought
to be proud of your niece! Her story
has truth for a foundation, but is, in
effect, lie.'' Robinson turned on his
heel. Tracy followed him, and. putting
his hand on Rooinson's shoulder, said !:
Don't repeat what you heard.
Bcecher is excited, and don't
know what he says Robinson
replied: eff Mr.. Beecher knew that,
within twenty-four hours after he had
made his confession to my niece, she told
me of it, exactly as she told it just now,
he would not have been in such hurry
to call it lie The incident has occa-
stoned a great deal Of debate-some of it
not over-complimentary to Beecher.
BEECHER's ADHERENTs DOING THEMSELVES
INJURY.
Towards gross attack on Mrs. Moul-
ton in the Star has been followed up by
number of anonymous letters, some Of
them too filthy to quote. One such mis-
sive, addressed to Mrs. Moulton, and
written in disguised hand, brims over
with gilt-edged obscenity, the language
being both elegant and shameless ribald.
Her cnraged husband offers $4,000 for the
detection Of the scoundrel who wrote it..
BOWEN
will be summoned as witness, but in re-
buttal. If Beecher alleges in his defense
that his remorse was due to the fact that
he had consulted Bowen to discharge Til.
ton from the Independent for entertain.
ing heterodox views of marriage. Bowen
will swear that he never consulted
Beecher about Tilton's relations to his
newspapers, and that Beecher never vol.
unteered any advice with regard to Til
ton or his situation. The reason that
Bowen gave some time ago for
severing Tilton's connection with
the Independent was to the
effect that well-known lady
contributor to the Brooklyn Union had
complained of something worse than in
civility on Tlton's part. Her complaint,
added to another motive for getting rid
of him, which consisted in his having
taken sides with the wrong section of the
local Republican party against the other
and more influential clique, actually
gave Bowen his excuse, and Beechcr
had as little to do with it as
myself. I abstain from mentioning the
name Of the lady directly responsible for
Tilton's departure from Bowen's service.
Although it has not so far been mentioned
in connection with the scandal, you have
had occasion quite lately to print it in
your columns as that of one Of the par
ties to a very singular Washington d.
! vorce case.
