The letter of Theodore Tiltou to the
investigating committee has been pub?
lished.: "Ho says that, while Beeoher
poBaeesed ft perfect knowledge of both
bis offence aud apology, be BBS chosen
I to put on a publio affeotatiou of igno?
rance and iuuooenoe concerning them,
and has conspicuously appointed a
committee of six of the ablest men of
I his church, together with two attor?
neys, |T inquire into what be loaves
the committee to regard as the unac?
countable mystery of this offence and
apology, as if he bad neither commit?
ted the one or offered the other, but as
if both were the mere fragments of
another man's imag nation?thus very
adreitly prompting the public to draw
the deduction that Tilton was
a person under Borne hallucination
or delusion, living in a dream
and forgiug a fraud. Furthermore,
in order to oast over this explanation
tbe delicate flamor which always lends
I a oharm to the defenae of a woman's
honor, Mrs. Elizabeth R. Tilton, lately
I my wifo, has been prompted away
I from her borne, to reside among Mr.
Beeoher's friends, aud to co-operate
with him in his ostensibly honest and
laudable inquiry into facts concerning
which she, us well an be, has for years
past had perfect aud equal knowledge,
with himself. Tbu investigation,
therefore, has been publicly pressed
upon me by Bcucher, and sccoudiy by
Mrs. Tilto". both of whom have united
in assuming before tho publio the non
I existence of the grave aod solemu
fjcts with which tbey have conspired
to investigate, for the purpose not of
eliciting but of denying tbe truth.
The first assumption by them which
has seemed to the committee to
be iu good faith, has virtually led
the committee iuto au examiuutiou, in
which the committee expect to fiud, on
their part, nothing but innocence, aud
on Tilton'ri part nothing but slander.
[Tilton tbeu bays it is now his unhappy
duty to givo facts aud evidences to the
committee lor reversing their opinion.
He charges Mrs. Tilton with joining
Beeoher in u conspiracy, which cannot
fail to be full of peril and wretchedness
to many hearts. Tbo last opportunity
for reconciliation aud settlement bus
passed. Tilton says of Beech or: This
desperate man must hold himself only,
and not mo, accountable for the
I misery and wretchedness which these
disagreeable disclosures will curry to
his home and hearts, as they have al?
ready brought to mine, uud will add,
that the origib.nl documents referred
to in the enuuidg sworn statement are
for the most part in my possession,
but that the apology and a few other
papers are in the bauds of Francis D.
Moniten. Tiltou then swears to state?
ments, among them tbe following:
[First?That ou the 2d of October,
1855, at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
a marriage between .Thuo. Tilton und
Elizabetb M. Richards was performed,
by Bev. Henry Ward Beechor, wbiob
marriage thirteen years afterwards was
dishonored and violated by this olorgy
[ mau, through the criminal seductiou
of this wife aud mother, as hereinafter
Bet forth. Seooud?That for a period
of about fifteen years, extending both
before and after ibis marriage, an inti?
mate friendship existed between Theo?
dore Tilton and Rev. Henry Ward
Bcecher, which friendship was ce?
mented to saoh a degree that in
consequence thereof tbe subsequent
dishonoring by Mr. Beocher of his
friend's wife wus a crime of uncommon
wrong and perfidy. Third?That
about nine years ago, the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher. before uud thereafter
formed a friendship with Mrs. Eliza
I beth R. Tilton, for whoso uutive deli?
cacy aud extreme religions seusibility
he often expressed to her husband a
high admiration, visiting her from time
to time for years, ontil the year 1870,
when, for reasons herein stated, he
ceased such visits?during which pe?
riod, by many tokens aud attentions,
he won tbo affection and love of Mrs.
Tilton, whereby, after long morul
resistanco by her, and ul'ter repeuted
assaults by him upon her mind, with
over-mastering arguments, acom*
pushed the possession of her person,
maintaining with her thenceforward,
during tho period hereinafter stated,
the relation called criminal intercourse;
this relation being regarded by bur
during that period as not criminally or
morally wrong?such had been tho
power of his arguments as a
clergyman to satisfy her religious
scruples against such a violation
of virtue and honor. Tiltou makes
other statements in the same direction,
showing tbe continuance of criminal
intimacy between Mrs. Tilton and Mr.
Beechor, previous to the autumn of
1868. She maintained with Christian
firmness towards her pastor the posi?
tion of resistance, alwuys refusing his
amorous pleasures, which wero strong
aud oft-repeated. Tilton says tbe first
suspicion which he had that Beecher
was abusing or might abuse tho uffec
tiou and reverence whioh Mrs. Tiltou
felt towards hor pastor, was nu im?
proper caress given by Beecher to
Mrs. Tilton, while Boated by her side,
on the floor of the library overlooking
engravings. Tilton gives some dis?
gusting details further to prove tho
oriminality of his wife.

A Beactifutj Tribute to the Me?
mory of General Lee.?At the Wasb

Va., says the Savannah Advertiser, a
student is each day detailod to watch
beside the tomb of General Lee.
Every moruiug one of the students is
potted at the tomb iu the memorial
room of the ohapel, built under the
supervision of Lee. He is 6tyled a
"watcher,'.' anil his duty is to remain
there duriug the day, aud receive visit?
ors, showing them the proper courtesy
4ml attention. As there are nearly
350 students, uo one is on duty more
than once a year. Thus, the entire
Southern people, through their repre?
sentatives iu the University, are watch?
ing at the tomb of Lao, and their sons
improved in manner and bearing by
tho sacred duty they perform, and
their minds aud hearts benefited by
thoughts of the noble dead.
The tierce, viudiotive spirit of the

until very lately, bocu a most unhap?

his birth with a peculiar won, which
has increased year by year, uutil it
covered a largo portion of his faoe and

strangely resembled an animal. No

and ladies have faiuted at the sight of
it^ Physicians examined it, but pro?
nounced it incurable. Finally, upon
un offer of $150,000, Dr. W. Parker,

which is believed will prove success?

Estimates and Cost ?The esti?

The Ohioago Tribune publishes a let?
ter from Rev. G. C. Mullins, which
undertaken to show that the pulpit is
losing much of its old-time power, and
inquires into the oanses. Mr. Mullins
attributes tbe waning influences of the
pulpit to the decided change from the
kind of preaching we need to hear to
that we listen to now-a-days. For?
merly, he says, it was the duty of the
minister of the Gospel to preaoh tbe
word, pure and simple; and now the
preacher has been metamorphosed into
the moral essayist, tbe religio-philo
?ophical lecturer and a professional,
who must send up a rocket and make
a sensation once a week, if be expects
to Bucoeed.
There seemB to be no end to the
wealth of California. The Territorial
Enterprise says that, according to pre?
sent indicatious, "the State will bar
vest wheat enough to load 1,000 Bhips,
eaah of 1,000 tons burden, and have
enough left for home consumption."
At the same time, we are reminded of
the decluruliou of a Senator from that
State, twenty years ago, that he
"would not give six bits for all the
agricultural land in California." So
that we never know the good gifts that
aro iu store for us, and where we ex?
pect gold find wheat, and as seems to
be the case in onr Paoiflo common?
wealth, gather more gold from tbe
wheat than from the mines.

A Man Killed with a Pitch fork .
