MOCI.TOX’S STATEMENT.
5530.000.30
New Tons, Aug. B.—No events of importance
in the scandal have occurred to-day. llonltpn
has finished his statement, but does not submit
it until Monday, when it will at once be made
public. It is very long. A full history is given
of the Bowen-Beccber difficulties as the origin of
the scandal. Had B'eooher and Bowen not
quaircled, the scandal would never have been
agitated. Moulton attributes to Bowen con
st ant agitation, which haa made it necessary ior
Tilton to reply.
has lost so much character by the partisan lan
guage which it has used that their delay to ex
amine Moulton until Monday haa caused a rumor
tnat they are making efforts to compromise. I
cannot learn that there have been any snob over
tures, but cerfaiulv the consultations as far as
can bo learned (and the Committee is by no
means air-cieht j and their private conversations
indicate that they are
IN AN UNHAPPY FBA3EB OP HIND.
Everywhere their delay is considered as looking
to compromise, and tlieir conduct of tho exam
ination and denunciation of witnesses are de
clared to be damaging to Beecher.
Among the raper-a which Tilton has in reserve,
there ase, as'l*l earn from one of his meet inti
mate counselors, who bio been aiding him to
prepare 1 evidence for his Kwycr, letters of tho
existence of which Beecher and his lawyers
have no knowledge whatever. They are said to
ho more cempiomhung than thoso of Beecher
himself. As xnv informant put it.
if ho had trouble •in explaining
hia own letters, those of Mrs. Tilton and Mrs.
Morse, her mother, will overwhelm him. I un
derstand tliat these letters are from correspond
ence looking to an anangemeut for separation
in 1870, and are from airs. Horse to Mr. and Mrs.
Tilton, irom Mrs. Tilton to her mother, and from
both tho ladies to Mr. Tilton. They contain
rnXQUZHT PLAIN ADMISSIONS OF GUILT
on the part of Mrs. Tilton, and Mrs. Morse
seems to have known of her guilt. Very little
news need bo looked for until Moulton s state
ment is published.
, iZb the Associated Frees. 1 ‘ '
New Yost, Aug. 8.-—licpor* s of interviews,
with little in them, and speculations, are poly
made public to-day about the Brooklyn
scandaL 3lr. Beecher has gone to Peekskill, and
the Committee and counsel ore oat of town.
Gen. Butler has arrived in tho city. and. to a re
porter who called on him, he said ho did not de
sire to talk about tho case at all, and didn't.
Mr. Moulton has concluded hi? statement. It, is
said to be very long, and to contain allusion to
the
DIFFICULTY BETWEEN THE BET. HENRY WARP
BEECHER ARP 3fR. KERRY 0. BOWXN. ‘
Mr. Moulton was caught in hla hone© by an
interviewer, and asked; -Was your reference to
Mrs. Hooker, in your letter to Mr. Beecher, in
tended to create presumption of the guilt of the
latter, or designed simply to indicate the charac
ter of some of tbe documents in your posses
sion ? I ask this because come of Mr, Beecher’s
friends charge tho former object. . •
Mr. Moulton said, in reply: “Tbe letter re
ferred to in your inquiry was regarded by
mo at tbe time it was written as a private
note, which I never supposed would be pub
lished. It has been published through
no instrumentality of mine, and, such being the
case, I decline to say anything further about it
than that the reference ailuaed to was not in
tended to create the-presumptlon of Mr. Beech
er’s guilt, nor was it designed to indicate the
natui© of tbe documents m my possession"
MOULTON AND THE COMMITTEE. '
A gentleman connected with tbe case being
asked what tbe Committee proposed to do if Mr.
Moulton should offer a statement, hut should
decline to submit to cross-examination, said the
Committee would then decline to receive Moul
ton’s statement at all; and, if Mr. Moulton
should then make public his statement, they
would simply have to go before the country on
such a state of facts, and let the people de
cide the question. It is certain the Commit
tee would receive from Moulton tho documents
if he should elect to turn them over without any
statement, but should be weave those documents
into a statement in which be should characterize
those papers and draw conclusions front them,
and then decline to au emit to a cross-examina
tion, tho Committee would certainly refuse to
accept such statement. ' s
waa captured' thrice by reporters -while* on hia
way from hia residence to his lawyers office, and
stopped long enough to say in answer to a ques
tion, Was not tbo fact of Moulton making bis
statement in advance of Beecher an advantage
to the latter? that I (Tilton) ~ neither
desire -nor need an advantage. I
do not * wish to humiliate Mr. Beecher
needlessly. If the • statement of my case
first will save Mr. Beecher one heedless word
which he might wish to recall, I am very glad to
render him this service. He needs all the char
ity which it is in mV power.to bestow, ,lam re
ceiving vindicatioa every time that any real fact
in the matter comes out, and I am so rear my
full and final vindication that lean affoid to
wait a little longer. - •
'To the question, “Bid'yon ever see the letter
which Mr. Beecher wrote to your wife after the
Woodhall di'idofcurc—the letter that alludes
to ‘ Theodore still loving her ?’ 3lr. Tilton
answered, “ Whv, I carried it to Elizabeth. It
waa written for her, that she might short it to her
friends and'eatisfy herself.’'
TItTON’S SPIT AGAINST ISEECHEB.
. Ex-Judgo Morris, counsel for -Mr. -Tilton, save:
The suit which Mr. Tilton proposes to bring
a'-aiust Hr. Beecher hie no reference to the
action of The Committee whatever. When Mr..
Tilton . announced his intention not to.
appear before the commute again,, and his,
instructions acre - given to his, counsel
to begin suit against Mr.Beecber,ho meant exact ly
what ho said. The action of the Committee will
neither hasten nor delay the commencement of.
tba suit, which will be brought in tbs Suprenie
Court. It-will bo an action against Hr. Beecher
for criminal connection with Mrs. Tilton. The
amount of damages claimed will be in accordance
with’ the magnitude of the suit, Lut,Mr. Tilton a
purpose in bringing action is not to
receive anv pecuniary benefit, bat simply
to vindicate his good name against the atrocious
slanders to which ho has been subjected. So
far us Mr. Tilton- is concerned, the case will bo
pressed for trial at the earliest possible day.”
Henry C. Bowen telegraphs that he has had
no interview with any person on the Brooklyn
scandal and characterizes the alleged interview
with him, published in the Brooklyn paper yes
terday, as a stupendous fraud from beginning
to ehei.

market in the same way as other stocks; and
baring also seen numerous newspaper articles
referring to that church as such a company; and
believing that such statements were made for
the sole purpose of creating a public Impression
that the Investigating Committee of that church,
before which Mr. Beecher is now on trial, would
have a pecuniary interest in his acquittal, thus
impairing the confidence of the public in their
verdict should the Committee find him innocent,
—although personallv a stranger to the party in
question, 1 took the liberty of addressing a let
ter of inquiry to a member of that Committee,
who is well known to the public, and whose per
sonal character is without taint or siiapicion, and
by return mail I received the following reply:
Kew York, July 27,1874.
Dtm Bra: I hive your* of the 31th, and would say,
in reply to your question, that there is no stock in Mr.
Beecher’s Church for sale in Wall street, or anywhere
ciae; that the Church Is all paid for, and owned by the
Society. The pews are rented every year, and bring
about 560,0C0 per annum, with which not only his own
Society is supported, but two other largo churches
have been built, and are mostly supported by Mr,
Beecher’s Church. Respectfully yours, •••••••.
Although the foregoing loiter was quite satis
factory to myself, yet, as the acquaintance be
fore alluded to said, Ob, yes! but he does not
say that it is not a joint-stock company after
all; he only says that the stock is not for sole.
That is the caeo with other good etock, I ven
tured to pureuo the inquiry still further, and
have received the following reply, which is about
as explicit as possible:
Kkw York, Ang. 5, 1874.
Dead Ses : I have to say, in reply to yours of the
SOtb ult., that there Is no joint stock about Plymouth
Church. "When the Church waa built, about twenty
five years since, scrip was Issued io parties contribut
ing the money to build It,—the interest on the scrip pay
ablein pew-rents, until the scrip could be paid from
the income of the Church, or otherwise. The rental
of the pews was so large that, beside paying the
rent expenses, the debt of the Society represented by
the scrip was soou paid ofl*, so that the Society is free
from debt, and the Church belong - * to the Society.
If the Church could be sold to-day for $1,000,000, no
individual of cither Church or Society could get the
first dollar of the money, and it could only be used for
another church or churches, in which no Individual
would have any pecuniary interest whatever. Rcsj* c>
folly yours,
I-omit the gentleman’s name simply because
I do not know that it would be agreeable to him
to have it made public.
. I presume that, having seen the original let
ters. vou will certify their genuineness and re
liability. ■ Qceuist.

Arguments in the Injunction Gnses

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
Maui eon, Wis., Aug. B.— The arguments in the
injunction cases were resumed this morning in
tho Supreme Court. Tho Hon. B. C. Cook and
ex-Judge C. B. Lawrence, counsel for tho North

length. The points heretofore made by tho
railroad lawyers,—that tho Legislature has no
ri"bt to delegate to Commissioners the power to
fix rates; that tho roads cannot be deprived of
the privilege of regulating their own charges,
and that the present suit should have been in
stituted under common law practice instead of
by chancery, were ably sustained bv both speak

Uo went that way to make time, as it is the neat

over 100 feet np the sooth slope of the

bodv was horribly mangled. The head and body,
from above the liins. and portions of the arms,
were thrown over 300 feet from the scene. Por
tions of his body and clothing could be seen
lun'nng in the tops of trees, though they were
ovgrlQw feet high. The head and portions of
the stomach were found in Bear Creek,
over 100 feet distant. The right band was
found nearly a half-mile away, and in a
radius of a mile numerous other portions were
found, but it would bo utterly impossible to dis
tinguish them from portions of the horse, whoi'e
body was scattered ;a all directions by the tei -.
rifle concussion. The shoes were ton> from the
horse’s feet, which may be termed the most
singular incident of the dreadful disaster. The
seat of the buck-board and part of the struc
ture wore found scattered over lull and ravines,
aiid could not be distinguished except by a pre

were shipped of the foliage for rods around,
many Of them being barked. The excavation in

New York. Aug. B.—A London letter nays:
“ A report has suddenly gained currency that tbs
long-expected crisis has occurred in the financial
affairs of tho Prince of Wa]es t and that tbt
Ministry have made up their minds to propose
u> tho douse of Commons, at tho next session,
to pay his debts. The sum named is X40.00U
sterling, four times the sum that was voted in
1787 to appease the creditors of that pattern
of royalty who afterwards became George IV.
About paying the bills there are certain to
be two powerful and contradictory sentiments,
one that tho honor of the nation is concerned in
providing for the debts of its future King; the
other that these debts are of a character which
ought to be paid ont of the accumulated fox tone
of tho Queen. The latterview rests on tho well
known fact that the Queen has been receiving,
ever since the death of Prince Albert, tho whole
of the income calculated at her deceasion to sup
port the expenses of the Coart in the usual de
gree of splen dor; that Her Majesty has, however,
lived during this period, for the most part, in re
tirement, and the cost of the drawing
room lovers and other royal pageantry
has, in fact, fallen upon the Prince ana Princess
of Wales, whoso income has been unequal to
sych a burden. Too existing debts, or a consid
erable port of them, have, according to this the
ory, been incurred in the discharge of these du
ties ; hence it is urged that the Queen, who has
bad and kept money given to her hr the State
for such purposes, ought to pay them. The
Prince of Wales has X 40,000 a year, plus the rev
enue of tho Duchy of Cornwall, which no«
amounts to over XIOO.OOO per annum.”
