New YORK, Feb, 24.-Oliyer johnson
appears to-day with another Scandal
contribution, made necessary to explain
another published private and confden-
tial letter. This time it was written to
Theodore Tilton, June 4lh IA. In this
letter johnson said; Ny dear Theodore
let me as al old friend whose heart is
wruns by your terrible suffering and
sorrow tell you, you can never have true
peace of mind till you conquer yourself
and dismiss all purpose and thought of
lpjuring the man who has wronged you.
or all promises your lips can frame,
none are so sacred as those we make to
those who have injured us and whom
we have protested to forgive and they
are sacred just in proportion Us their
violation would work injury to those to
whom they are made. You cannot paint
too blackly the wrongs you have suffered
Oliver Johnson writes now in ex-
PLANTATION of above and of his desire to
restrain Tilton from making an exposure,
and of being assured of Beecher's in
nocence of any sort of crime. 81 yet
knew there were circumstances which il
disclosed would cast suspicion upon
him and subject him to great annoyance
and pain, l knew also that Tilton's own
life would not bear scrutiny, for he had
confessed his adulteries to me under
these circumstances, for his Tilton s
sake quite as much as for Beecher's, and
not less for the sake of his wife and
children, avoiding irritating him by
telling him l no longer believed his main
accusation was true, even pleaded with
him at times in the seeming admission
that his provocation was black, so he
said it was. dealt with him as would
with man partially deranged.
