Talejcraphlc? ForolKia Affairs. London, July 22 ? Algerian papers fear tbat trouble with tbe natives is impending.

Disraeli, answer? ing to the toast to tho Ministry, said no one was able to view tbe state of Europe with .oomplaoenoy; every one must deplore tho anarobical condition of some of the most favored oouutries. The friendship of England was never more sought for by tbe leading powers of Europe and Amerioa. Eogland would use her influence in the interests of peace. Disraeli repudiated tho Erinoiple that the country was not to e held responsible in tbe many ques? tions which might arise abroad affect? ing the fortunes of the world. He believed tbe influence of England might now be most effeotnally exor? cised to reoonoile tbe discordant and distrustful interests. She might assist diatraoted conntries with sympathy and counsel, and resume a position worthy of her former prestige. Madrid, July 23.?Brigadier-Gene? ral Pinto has defeated a detachment of Don Alfonso's army at Salvanetie, de? livering 700 of the prisoners taken by the Carliate. at Cuenoa and capturing eight officers.

The Prefect of Ooenca announces] that thirty-four bodies of Republicans, murdered by the Carlists, have been ] found mi a house in thut town, muti? lated horribly beyond recognition.

Paris, July 23.?President MaoMa bon, in response to a deputation of members of tbe Assembly, who waited npon him to-day, said he was not sum? moned to power in order to restore either monarohy or empire. His acts proved he would not participate in such enterprises. The law which cre? ated a septenate still less imposed upon him the task of constituting a ?definite republic Perier's bill offered bim nothing, but, by isolating him from the Conservatives, by whose aid he wished to govern, would deprive him of much; consequently, the Minis? ters would declare, in his name, that he rejected the project. In conclu? sion, he expressed the opinion that u proclamation of the republic might disturb order aud peace, bat if the laws he asked for were voted, tho sop teuate would become the Government, calculated to inspire confidence aud respect. It is now understood that the Government will, to-morrow, de? mand of the Assemoly the adoption of tbe laws referred to by the President, viz: the constitutional bill drawn up by the Committee of Thirty, together with tbe throe additional measures proposed by the Minister of Interior to that oommittee on the 10th instant.

When about a mile from Wathena, Grubb sprang from the wagon and attempted to escape, but was at once riddled with bullets aud instantly killed. One of the crowd following tbe wagons, named Afiohargou, received one of the shots fired by tbe mob and wns mor? tally wounded.

Tlte Hi t eller a?il Tiltun Scandal. New York, July 22.?Tilton's 13th consists of letters from Mrs. Tilton to her husband, written in Jane and July, 1871, in which she states that her eyes have beon opened, and she clearly sees her sin, aud is prupaced to renew her marriage vow with her husbuud, aud keep it us the Saviour requires. Tho 14th sets forth that, about ono year after Mrs. Tilton's oonfessiou aud six months after Beocher's confirmation of the same, Mrs. V. C. Woodhull wrote an article in tho World, Monday, Moy 22, 1871, stating over her signature that she knew of a man, a public teacher of eminence, who lived in oon cubinage with tbe wifo of another pub? lic teacher, and she would make it her business to analyze some of these lives. At Mrs. Wtodhull's request, Tilton called at her office, and Mrs. Woodhull stated the parties mentioned in the World were L'eoohcr and the wife of Theodore Tilti n. Woouhnll detailed with vebomout speech the wicked and infamous story whioh she published the year following. Tilton, desiring to guard against her publishing tho grossly distorted version which she gavo to him, and which sho afterwards attributed to him, sought, by personal services und kindly attentions, to re? tain her good will, and romovo all de? sire in her to nfilict him with such publication. Tilton's efforts and asso? ciations with Mrs. Woodhull coasod in April, 1872. and six months after sho published tho scandal whioh he had labored to suppress The 15th is a letter from Thomas K. Beecher, of Elmira, N. Y., dated November 5, 1872, as follows: "Mrs. Woodhull only carries out Henry's philosophy, against whioh I recorded my protest twenty years ago." Tho ICth states that tho publication by one of Decoder's part nera of the tripartite coveunut led tho press of tbe country to charge Tilton with heinous offence against Beecher; and to remedy this false pnblio im? pression, Moulton requested Beeoher to prepare a suitable card, relieving Tilton from this injustice. Beeober stated his embarrassments, which pre? vented his saying anything without bringing himself under suspicion. He wrote the letter, however, to Moulton, wbioh, on being shown to Tilton, ap? pealed to his feelings. In this letter, dated Sunday morntug, June 1, 1873, Beeoher declares his determination to make no more resistance, and stye: '?Theodore's temperament is such that the future, even if temporarily earned, would be absolutely worthless aud ren? dering mo liable, ut uny hour of the day, to be obliged to stultify a!! the doviccs by which we have saved our? selves." Iu oonoludiug the letter, Beeoher says: "There is no use in try? ing further. I have a strong feeling upon me that I am spending my last Sunday and preaching my laut ser? mon." This hopelessness of spirit, botrayed by Beeoher, led Tiltou to re? consider the question of defining him? self at the cost of producing misery to Beeoher. In another letter to Moul? ton, Beecher says: "If my destruction would place Tilton all rigb?, thut shall not stand in tbe way. I am willing to step down and out. None can offer more than that, and that I do offer. Sacrifice me without hesitation, it yon oau olearly see your way to bis safety aud happiness thereby. I look upon death as sweeter far than any friend I have iu the world. Life would be pleasant, if I ct U'd sec that re unit which I have shattered; but to live on the sharp and rugged ends of anxiety, remorse, fear, despair und yet to put on an appearance of serenity and happiness, ciuuot be eudured much longer. I am well uigh discouraged If you cease to trust mu, to lovo me, i am alone; I do not know atiy pc-?OD j in the world to whom I could go." Tilton yielded to the above and other similar letters, and made no de? fence of himself against tho public odium which attached to him unjustly. 17th states thut the marriage union be? tween Mr. aud Mrs. Tiltou, until broken by Mr. Brecher, was of more thuu common barmouy, infection aud mutual respect. Their house and < household wero regarded for years by ull the guests as an ideal home. Hero follows the correspondence be? tween Mr. and Mrs. Tiltou, dating from January to March, lSUS?:ill tilled with expressions of most loving tenderness. The .specification concludes ns follows: "Iu addition to the above, miny other letters by Mrs. Tilton to her husband prior to her corruption by Beecher, served to show tbat a Christian wife, loving her husband to the extreme, as set forth, could ouly be swerved from the pith of rectitude by urtful aud powerful persuasions, clothed in the phrases of religion aud enforced by strong appeals from her chief Christian teacher aud guide." 18th is a letter from Mrs. Tiltou to Moulton, in which the writer denies she evor Bought separation from her busband, and brands the story that she wanted a separation as a deliberate falsehood, coined by tbe writers's poor mother, who said she would bear tbe responsibility of this aud other state meuts she might make and communi? cate to her husband's enemy. The specification states tbat letter is given to refute the story thut Beccher's apology had been written because he hud offended Tilton by engagiug Til ton's wife in t he project of a reparation from her husband. 19th states tbat during tho first week in January, 1871, a few days after the apology was written, Beecher (through Moulton) oommnnioated to Tilton nu earnest wish that he (Tilton) would take bis family to Europe and reside there for a term of years at Buocher's expense. Similar offers buvo since been repeated by Beecher to Tilton through the same channel. The spe? cification also contains tho affidavit of Francis B. Carpenter, tbat he was the bearer of a kindred message from Beecher to Tilton last summer. Car peuter, in his letter, also states that the charge that Tiltou ever attempted to levy black mail on Beecher is false, but, on thecoutrary, Tiltou has always rosented every attempt by Beecher to put him under pecuniary Obligation?. 20tli states that not long after the scandal became public, Mrs. Tilton wrote on a slip of paper, aud left it ou hor husband's desk, tho following words: "Now that tho exposure but; come, my wholo natura revolts to joiu with you or stand with you." Through the influence of Boecher's friends, the opinion has long been diligently pro? pagated that tho scandal was due to Tiltou, and that tho alleged facts wero malicious inventions by him to revenge himself for supposed or imaginary wrongs dono him by Beecher. This impression wan heightened by Mrs. Tiltou's praise and eulogy of Beecher, she being authority for tho statement also that Tilton was Beecher's slan? derer. Tilton would not buvo com? municated to tbe committee tbo facts contained in the statement, except for tho previous course of Beoeber aud Mrs. Tilton to degrade and destroy him iu pnblio estimation. 21st states that one evening, about two woeks after tho publication of Til ton's letter to Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Tiltou came home late, and informed her hun? hand she had boon before tbo investi? gating committee, tbe existence of wbioh Tilton had hud no previous in? timation, aud that sho had given Bwooping evidence, acquitting Beecher of every charge. Tho next day, sho spent several hours of extreme suffer? ing from pangs of conscienco at hav? ing testified fulsely. She expressed the hopo that Qod would forgive her perjury, but tbat tho motivo was to save Beecher and her husband, and also io remove ail reproach from tbe cause of religion. 22 J and concluding specification states thut, fiually, in addition to tbe furegoiug, other confirmations could be added, if needed, to prove that Beech er accomplished the seduction of Tilton's wife, und maintained criminal intercourse with ber for a period of one year nod a half, and to prove all tbe facts and testimony given in the statement. The statement is signed Theodore Tilton, and sworn to before Theodore Burgmyer, July 20,1874. In connection with the statement, Tilton I prescutcd letters to tho committee. lie stated at length that ho has divulged the statement solely? because of the j openly-published demand for it direct? ly by Beecher, aided and ubetted by Mrs. Tilton?the paper being pur poaoly restricted to the relations of Beecher and Mrs. Tilton only. Tilton this morning, according to previous agreement, withdrew from his house in Livingston street, in order that Mrs. Tilton might return and oc? cupy it. In arranging articles of sepa? ration, he made bis wife u free gift of the house and contents. A morning paper says Tilton is said to have informed bia uwn " children that, with the exception of his eldest daughter, the others had different fathers. It is expected that Tilton will appear again before the committee to? day. Tho press generally, while com? menting on Tilton's statement, with? hold judgment until Beecher and Mrs. Tilton ahull have been heard. The Herald says: "This misfortune ia one uf the most terrible that ever befell the public. Mr. Tilton, whatever tbo offence, has assuredly revenged it." Elsewhere it ^ay.*: "We uro proud to feel that, thus far, Beecher comes out of the trial a brave, t-oruly stricken and magnanimous soul, allowing him? self in no way tin wot thy of his genius, f.iuie nod forty years' blameless Cbris tiau life." The Times considers seve? ral of the specific charges made by Tilton as demanding tbe deepest in? vestigation and strongsst kind of dis? proof before being disposed of, espe? cially when he alleges specially that on* certuiu dates Beecher had illicit inter? course with Mrs. Tilton. New Yoiik, July 23.?-Beecher has made a preliminary statement, in reply to Tilton, denying in toio the charges of the latter and warmly defending Mrs. Tilton from the ucou-mtious of her husband, for whom, he says, he cherishes u pure feeliug?such as a gentleman might honorably offer to a Christian woman and which she might receive aud reciprocute without moral scruple. He rejects with indignation every imputation which reflects upon her honor or his own. Beecher criti? cally examines Tiltou's charges und recognizes the reasou which makes it of truuscendeut importance to himself, tho church aud the cause of public morality that a full answer shall be given to them, and he looks to the committee of investigation to search the matter to the bottom and vindi? cate him. He conoludea: "I do not propose to uualyze aud contest at this time tho extraordinary paper of Mr. Tiltou, but there are two allegations which I cannot permit to pass without special notice. They refer to the ouly two incidents whioh Mr. Tilton pre? tends to have witneased personally ? the one an alleged scene in my bonne, while looking over ougravings, and tbe uther a chamber scene in his own house. His statements concerning these are absolutely false. Nothing of the kind ever ocourred, ucr auy sem? blance of any such thiugs. They are uow brought to my notice for the first time. To every statement which con? nects me dishonorably with Mrs. Eliza? beth It. Tiltou, ur which iu any wise would impugn tho honor and purity of this beloved Christian woman, I give the moat explicit, comprehensive and solemn denial." Tho statement uf Mrs. Tiltou will bo made public, uud it is understood that it will be a com? plete denial of the charges made against Beecher and herself by her husband. Beecher will prepare a mure full aud concise reply, tu bo submitted to the investigating committee ut as early a day as possible. New Your, July 23. ? Mrs. Tilton's statement is published. She begins with the expression that the impera? tive necessity which is forced upon her ' to pick anew the pains and sorrows she hud fur the last teu years daily schooled herself to bury aud forgive, is tbe sad? dest act of her life. A seuse of the perversion of her life aud faith almost nunipels her tu stund aside, till God himself delivers; yet aho sees in tho wanton act uf her husband uu urgent call and privilege, from which she shrinks nut. To reply iu detail to the tweuty-twu articlea uf thearruingment, *he will not attempt at present; but if culled upon to testify to each uud all of them, shall not hesitate to do so. Sho solemnly avows thut loug before the Woodhull publication, she knew by insinuation uud direct statement her husband to have repeated to her yery near relatives aud friends tho substance of tbe accusations which shouk tbe moral senae of tho entire community this day. Many times, she says, when hearing thut certain per? sona hud spokeu ill of him, ho bus sent mo tu elude them for so doing, and then uud there I learned he had been befure mo wifh his calumnies against myself, so that I was speech? less. Tbo reiteration in his state? ments, that he had persistently striven to hide tho so-called facts, ia utterly false, as bis hatred of Mr. Beecher bus oxisted these many years, aud the de? termination to ruin Mr. Beecher has been the out) aim of his life. Again, tho perfidy with whioh tho holiest love a wife ever offered lias beeu recklessly disavowed iu this publication, reaches well-nigh to sacrilege, aud added to this tho endeavor, like* the early scan? dal of Mrs. WoodliiiM, to make my own words condemn me, has no paral? lel. Most conspicuously, my letter, quoting the reading of Griffith Gaunt, had Mr. Tilton read the pare charae ter of Catherine, he would have seen that I lifted myself beside it as near as any human being may affect an ideal; but it was her character, and not the incidents of the fiction succeeding it, to which I have referred. Hers was not a sin of a criminal aot, or even a thought. A like confession with hers I had mado to Mr. Tilton, in tell? ing of my love for my friend and pas? tor, one year before; and I now add that, notwithstanding all misrepresent? ations and the angaish of some, I owe to my acquaintance und friendship with Mr. Beeoher, as to no other human instrumentality, tbat oucour ugemeut in my mortal life and that growth towards the divine nature whioh enabled me to walk daily iu a lively hope of the life beyond. Tbe shame? less charges in Articles 7, 8 and 9 are fearfully false in each and every parti? cular. Tbe letter referred to in Mr. Tdton's 10th paragraph was obtained from me by importunities, and by mis? representations tbat it was necessary for him to uso it in the then poudiog difficulties with Mr. Bowou. I was then sick nigh unto death. I signed whatever he required, without know? ing or understanding its import. The paper I have never seen and don't kuow what statements it contained.; Iu oharge IS, a letter of mine, ad? dressed to Mr. Francis Monlton, is quoted to prove that I never desired a separation or was advised by Mr. and Mrs. Beocher to leave my husband. I reply that tho lottur is of Mr. Tiltou's own concocting, whioh he induced me to copy and sign as my own?an act which, in my sickness and mistaken thought to help him, I have too often, during these unhappy years, regretted. The implication thut the harmony cf the borne was unbroken till Mr. Beecher entered it as a frequent guest aud friend, is a lumentable satire upon tbe household where be himself, years before, laid tbe corner stone of free love and desecrated it op to tbe time of my departure, so that the atmos? phere was not only Godless but impure I for my children; and in this effort and throes oi agony, I would fain lift my daughters and all womanhood from tho insidious und diabolical teachings of these latter days. His frequent efforts to prove me insane, of weak mind, insignificant and mean presence, all rank iu the category of heartless uess, selfishness and falsehood, having its climax in bis present endeavor to convince the world tbat [ am or ever have been unable to distinguish be? tween an inuoceut and a guilty love. Iu summing up the whole matter, Mrs. Tilton says: "I affirm myself be? fore God to be innocent of the crime laid upon me. Tbat never have I been guilty of adultery with Henry Ward Beeoher, in thought or deed; uor has he ever offered to mo an inde? corous or improper proposal. To the further charge, that I was led away from my borne by Mr. Beecher's friends aud by the advice of a lawyer whom Mr. Beecher had Bent to me, and who, in advance of my appearance before the committee, arranged with me the questions aud answers which are to coustitute my testimony on Mr. Beecher's behalf. I answer, that this is again uutruo?having never seen the lawyer uutil introduced to him a few minutes before the arrival of tbe com? mittee, by my step-father, Judge Morse." She says she saw, well-nigh with blinding eyes, that Tilton had put into execution the almost daily threat of his life, tbat he lived to crash out Mr. Beeoher; that the God of battles was in him; that he had always been Mr. Beecher's superior, aud all that lay iu his path?wife, children or reputa? tion, if need be?should fall before tbia purpose.
