In Maine it is free; trade and hard money, in Indiana it ia free whisky and shinplasters, in Alabama it is repudiation and a white man's party, and in Ohio well, nobody knows what it is in Ohio. . The French Bourbons have received a timely admonition from Berlin that it will not do to make the Pyrenees a Car-list arsenal. If this gentle reminder is not heeded there will probably be trouble. But for outside sympathy and' help the Bourbon rebellion in Spain would not live a day. Tilton is tired of the committee and proposes now to take his case before a legal tribunal.

It will be impossible to conceal the truth if witnesses and parties shall be sworn, made to confront each other, and subjected to a critical and pnblic cross examination. BY MAIL AND TELEGRAPH.

The Brooklyn Argus says the following interchange of letters took place yesterday between Mr. lage, Chairman ot the lieecher investi gating committee, and Iheodore niton: Brooklyn, July 31. Theodore Tilton esq. 1 Dear- Sir I am instructed by the committee to state that the letters and documents referred to in your statement to us have not been delivered, notwith standing your several promiees to furnish them. As your statement in the absence of these documents is deprived of its greatest force, we think you should desire place them in our possession, and i ue-re to impress on you the importance of delivering them to us at your earliest con venience, very truly yours, H. W. Saoe, Chairman. reply to sir. sage. 174 LlVIKOOTON STBryr, I BSOOKLYM, AUgUBt 3, 187 . Mr. Henry W. Snge, Chair man Committile : My Dear Sir I have just received your note of July 31, four dates after date. Unless you accidentally misdated the communication should have come to me several days ago. This leads me to recall a similar dilatoriness of delivery of your original note first summonihg me to your committee, whicu l received only four hours before I was to appear, and yet the summons bore date of the day previous. But let these trifles pass. Your note just received surprises me by its contents, for you seem to have lorgotten mat on me ast day of my appearance Deiore your committPA T narrloH n vnijr meeting not only all the documents which I quoted in my sworn statement, save those in Moul-ton's possession, but many more besides, making a double nandtui 01 interesting and important papers vital to my case and destructive to yours. All these papers I purposed to lay before you, but no sooner naa l oegun to resa tnera aioua in your presence than one of your attorneys stopped me in the reading and pro posed that l should save toe committee s time by referring the papers to one of your members, Hon. John Winslow. 1 acquiceceu 1U lUJB BUggcouuil aiiu jc- tired from your committee with the expectation of a speedy conference with Mr. Winslow. Perhaps it was my proper duty to have called on Mr. Winslow, but as the whole committee had previously set the example of calling in a body on one of tbe parties to this controversy at her residence, l took .it lor granted mat Mr. Winslow would repeat this procedure by doing me the honor to call at my house, at which he would have been a welcome guest. But while waiting for his coming I was called upon instead by a policeman, who arrested me, and carried me at thirty minutes notice before Justice Kilev's Police Court to answer a -charge of libeling Bev, Henry Ward Beechei against whom 1 had not spoken a tiuei but the truth. Up to the time this arrest I had employ-no lawyer, not needing any, but on finding myself before a police court and not understanding the motive of my rrest. nor the method of courts, l re- quested my friend Judge S. D. Morris to answer for me in a technical proceeding in which I knew not how to answer prop erly for myself. Twice already have I been before tins unexpected triounai ana may be called before it a third time on Wednesday next, jneanwnue wy uuuu-sel. to whom I have just shown your note, instructs me to lay no documents, papers or remaining testimony Deiore your com- mittee. nor to hold any lurlher commum cation with you in any form except to send you this present and final letter con taining the reasons lor mis step, inese reasons are the following : 1. You area-committee of Mr. Beechei s friends, appointed by himself, expected to act in his Denan, assisted oy attorneys cmnloved exclusively for bis vindication. holding secret sessiuiiB mauuewiuie iu me public, having no power to compel wit nesses, giving no opportunity tur tue ui- pOSlte SlUe lU CIV-CAauiiMB bih.u ma .wt- untaruv appear, puuiuiuiik or nuu- nressing their testimony as you see fit, and so far as my experience goes, asking no questions save such as were irrelevant to the case, ana omitting to puuiwii, iu your imperfect and unjust report of my testimony, all that was most pertinent to my own side of the controversy. L ... n 1.1 I z 'i ha.naiiv papers oi Droomvn aim New York have been artfully fed day by day with crumbs of fictitious evidence s gainst my own character, as if not Mr. Beecher but I alone were the man on trial, and though I have little right perhaps to hold your committee reiipuusiuiv iur wc daily misrepresentation which may come through the malice oi outers, yet tne result is the same to me as if you had deliberately designed it, and that result is this, nsmety : 1 expect no justice eiiner irum your tribunal, since you cannot compel witnesses to testify, nor from your reporters, since they do not give impartial re ports. 3. 1 cannot resist tne conviction, tnoagn I mean no oflense in expressing it, that your committee has come at last to be as little satisfactory to the public as to myself, and that your verdict, if you render one, could not possibly be based on lull facts since you nave no power to compel witnesses, nor to verify their testimony by oath, nor to sift it bycross-examination. For these reasons, which ought to have moved me earlier, l have at last instructea my counsel to proceed at once at his discretion to carry my case from your juris-idiction to a court of law, and in view of this instruction from me be has in turn' nstrncted me to hold no further com mil nioation with your committee except this present letter or courtesy, in which I nave the honor to bid you farewell; in doing which allow me to add that the respect which I am unable to entertain for your committee as a tribunal. I cannot help expressing for you each and all aa individuals.. ; v Truly yours, .iu 1-T. Tilton. FRANK MOULTON arrived in Brooklyn this morning. He said that an invitation had been Bent him to appear before the investigating committee. He declared that he was ready and willing to go before the committee if both parties so requested. He said that he had not received a letter from Mr. Beecher asking him to go before the committee and testify. : Moulton said, with great sincerity, that he still adhered to his opinion expressed to the committee, that , the matter should i have been compromised. He regretted that the investigation had been commenced. He said the committee was tnexpartr affair and never should have acted except with a view to eSect a compromise; but, said Mr. Moulton, it happens that lam here in time to testify if my evidence shall be requested in writing by both Beecher and Tilton. He expressed regret . at the pres ent situation, but said, "The affair has now reached such a pass that all the tacts must comeoui." . . MRS. TILTON'S TE8TIMONY before the Plymouth Church Investigat ing committee will be pcblished to-mor row. The following is a synopsis embrac ing all that is of interest and not heretofore published. The examination begins with an appa rent Duruose to show that Tilton neg lected his wife from a very early period of their marriedwife. Mrs. liltou stated thut she was frequently sick, and her physician said there was care and trouble on her mind which he could not cure with medicine. Question What was 'the trouble in point of fact? Answer Well, any one of you gentle men, 1 think, would nave cared lor my family as much aa Theodore did. I was left entirely with my servants, and they were very poor servants. 1 saw I could not have my mother with me, because it was impossible for ber to live with ns on account of disagreement with Mr. Tilton. Tilton was dissatisfied with his home and with his wilt s management, and was harsh in his criticisms. When did he begin to talk to you, if at all, in regard to your association and friendship for Mr. iJeecher 7 ' 1 think 1 had no visits irqra Mr. needi er before 1866. That is the first that I remember seeing him very much. What was tbe criticism in regard to Beecher and yourself, which Mr. Tilton made? beecher's visits and tilton's jeal ousy. As early as I860 Mr. Tilton's mind was tainted with suspicions of Mr. B., and he used to talk with me continually about bis wrong doings with ladies, stories of which were told him by Mr. (no name given.) When Mr. B, came to see me Mr. Tilton began to De suspicious, ana that it might be perfectly transparent to my husband with respect to my interviews with Mr. Beecher, I used to charge my mind with our conversations and repeat them to Mr. Tilton. Mrs Tilinn "tiniio", that she was continually questioned . by Mr. Ill ton concerning these conversations in the most zealous manner, she was olten told with anger that she concealed something she did not mean to tell, and that she lied, for three years she tried to repeat everything said, but found Tilton more suspicious than ever. He had no confidence in her. one sunered greatly. This state of things has lasted In th present day. Although she had felt so badly, the last two years, Tilton's criticisms to her took the form of accusa tions. In the winter of 1869, when he began to assume that she had done crim inal wrong with Beecher, she met tne charges sometimes with anger, sometimes with calmnesss or silence, out lnvariamy DENIED CRIMINAL INTIMACY. She bad denied it in letters to Tilton, but they were lost. He seemed to use all his influence to make her acknowledge wrong, and talked of it so much that she thought he was morbid. He told her once he saw her sitting on Beecher's lap in one of the parlors, and she replied, Xou did not. &1I1H luuiuiu jemtuunj uwi n ncctng uu sickening effect on her. He never named anv definite time or place of any crimi nal act with Beecher, and never pretended she was guilty of any impropriety at Beecher's house. She went there twice or thrice to consult with Beecher about a sick person, and never met him at any place by appointment. Tilton never ac cused her of criminality based upon any admission by ber. It was not true that she confessed in July, 1870, any act of impropriety with Beecher. 1 be STORY OF CATHERINE GAUNT she had not read through when she wrote the Schoharie letter. Being impressed with the story at a certain point, she wrote the letter to her husband. She had no reference to adultery, or thought of it, in that letter. Mrs. Tilton was asked to what it did refer. I will try to answer that question. The one absorbing feeling of my whole life 1 fni j 'iv 1 . - . 1 If - pas oeen a ueuuurc Anion, xieiiuer imc. Beecher. I assure you, nor any human being has ever taken away from that fact my love for him. But I must say I felt very great helpfulness in. my own soul from haying had the friendship of Mr. Beecher, and also of other people as many women as men. WHAT MRS. TILTON'S 8IN WAS, On the subject of the alleged confession by comparison with the character 01 uttb erioe Gaunt. Mrs. Tilton said this con fession was made in the summer of 1870, but not at any time had Mr. Tilton gath ered from all tbeir talks that summer that she really found in Mr. Beecher what she did not find in her huBband. She gave him that impression, but told him if he would give to her what he gave to others she would probably find in him whot she found in Mr. Beecher. When she spoke of her sin in the Schoharie letter she meant thaishe did Tilton a wrong by taking any one else in his place in any way, though she did not know but she would do tne same inmg again because it had been so much help to her soul. Taking any one else in what way ? A. I do not think if I had known as much as I do now of Mr. Tilton, I should ever have encouraged Mr. Beecher's acquaintance. I think I did wrong in doing it, inasmuch as it hurt Theodore. I do not know at I can make myself understood, but do you know what I mean when I say that I was aroused in myself, that I had a self assertion which I never knew before with Theo dore? There was always a damper between me and Theodore, but there never was between me and Mr. Beecher. With Mr. Beecher I had a tort of con sciousnese of being mora. He appreciated me as Theodore did not I felt myseli another woman. I felt that be respected me. I think Theodore never saw ia me what Mr. Beecher did. in pride by allowing any one else to enter iuto her life at all. The wifely feeling she gave to her husband was pure. She gave Mr. Beecher nothing more ihau confidence and respect. She taught her daughters that it they cave their nusoano s wnat she had given to hers they would do enough. TILTON'S HARSH TREATMENT. Mr. Tilton frequently talked to her ac cusingly of the sensual eflect of her presence upon gentlemen. His accusations were hard to live under. lie i-eeuicu to be ashamed of herpuearance, dress and bearing. On one occasion, in a company of his friends, he told her be would give $500 if she was not at his side. - In halls and public places, on festal occasions, be said to tier, 1 wisn you wouiu not Keep near me." It was evident to her he did not want comparisons made between them. It hurt her very much. In 1870 she had a conversatiou with Tilton regarding bia own habits and associations in which he CONFESSED CRIMINALITY with other women. She did not confess adultery to him. It was the other way. He confessed to improper relations with several women, and told her he wished her to understand that wlieu he was away from borne lectariug or visiting, if be de sired to gratify himself lie would do it The world was lilted with slanders about him, and he did not seem to know it. lie thought everything came from her, and said so. He declared she was the origi nal of all the talk about him, and insisted on her correcting these impressions. He said on one occasion that a certain woman had been talking about him, and he wanted his wife to see her rnd put an end to it. She went to the woman and told her she should have avoided adding to the stories already afloat, for her sake, when she re, lied: "Mrs. Tilton, do you know wny 1 didn't? Because the night before your husband had told stories of yourself to such and such persons. That came to me directly, and I wa- not going to allow an accusation ot that character to stanu agaiust you." Wherever sne went sue lounu mat niton had not only made these accusations against her, but recounted tbe details which he bas now puuiisnea. men oe would deny to her that he had done so. THE CARESS AND BEDROOM STORIES. Mrs. Tilton's attention being called to her husband's allegation about the improper caress, she said there was no truth in it. She also denied tne bedroom story, saying Theodore had been with them that morning and nad gone out. jur. neecner was sitting in a large chair and he bad drawn up a small one. needier naa in nis nanu a little manuscript he was going to read. She did not remember what it was. The door from the bedroom to the ball was shut, and she had shut the door leading Irom the situngroom 10 tne nan, wuiuu was usually open.. She had no sooner don that, which was to keep out the noise of the children playing In the Lull, and sat down by the side of Mr. Beecher, hen Theodore came to tbe other door. Not five minutes bad elapsed since he went out. There was no hesitation in opening tbe door, me lotaing ooors were wide open. The door leading to tne hall from tbe bedroom was locked, but that was not uncommon. Her closing the other door, which was Beldom closed, perhaps made Theodore suspicious. Was Mr. Beecher flushed when Theo dore came in ? Not at all. THAT ALLEGED CONFESSION. Being next questioned as to the paper Tilton said she wrote him in the latter Dart of 1870. Btating that Beecher mads improper approaches, the witness said the paper sne wrote waB uut a coupie ui lines. As far as she could remember it wsb writ ten at a time when nearly out of her mind, but what Theodore made her write she could not tell to this day. She was conscious of writing many things under his dictation, or copying them oft and giving them to him. Things mat were mise r Oh. ves. What benefit did he tell you would come if you would make these statements? He Batd tins statement was to help him in the matter with Mr, Bowen. I did not understand how it was, but instead of go ing to Mr. Bowen with it he went to Mr. Moulton, and that quite startled me. BEECHER MADE NO IMPROPER PROPOSALS. Did Mr. Beecher make any improper suggestion or request to you Why. no sir. it wss utterly laise, have done many things like signing that paper. There is a certain power Theodore has over me, especially if I am sick, and he hardly ever came to me when I was in any other condition, to do anything of that sort. Une or two letters 1 sent west will bear witness to that. I wrote a letter to Miss in one ten minutes; in the next ten. minutes I wrote an other letter to her with a statement contrary to that of the first. The first was written under Mr. Tilton's influence, After having written it, I said to myself, "Why, I have stabbed Mr. Beecher," and I wrote in the second letter, "For God's sake don't listen to what I said in the first." I have never written a letter of my own in this matter, except one very small letter, about which 1 desire to confess. It was with regard to my mother. In that letter I cave her a very cruel stab.- I wrote her that, but the others were'entire ly of Mr. lilton't concocting. THE STORRS NOTE. Mrs. Tilton admitted that she copied the note containing the words, "Mr. Beecher desired me to be his wife, with all that that implies," which note was to be shown to Dr. Storrs. She at first refused, but Tilton said he needed it because it would be a great deal better than any. thing he could write, and it was not any thins after all. She replied : "It is not true, and what will Mr. Beecher say?" Frank Carpenter was present but could not hear them, as they spoke low. Tilton to'.d her she had but fifteen minutes, and she sat down and wrote the note. It is absolutely false that she wanted to make a stronger statement. She thought it wickedly strong as it was. There was trouble and she thought it would in tome way serve Theodore and bring peace. He had said the whole affair was tome scheme to get out of the Woodhull trouble. THE STATEMENT TO DR. STORRS DISCLAIMED.Mrs. Tilton then related how, a week after the Council of Churches was held, she thought of counseling Theodore, and went to Dr. Storrs and told him that the letter was false, that she was not the author of it. nor had she composed it in any way, and Dr. Storrs said : "I wish I had known that a week ago. because on that letter alone I believed Mr. Beecher to be a guilty man." Theodore put down self-respect in you while Mr. Beecher lifted it up? r A. Yes. 1 never felt a bit of embarrassment with Mr. Beecher,biit to this day I never could sit down with Theodore Without being self-conscious and feeling his sense uf my inequality with him. . The witness said the sin she spoke of was nothing more than giving to another what was due to her husband, which he 'did not bring out, however. She did not now feel there was any great sin about it, Tbe tin Was that she hurt her husband's Did he inquire how you came to Copy oihtii a letter r ' No. Did you explain to him ? No. He wanted to know if I knew of the great sin that I had done. I said I did. tie said it wan a fearful thing, to wnicn 1 said, "les, 1 realized It. 1 had frequently done such things." BEECHER'8 MUTUAL FRIEND LETTER, DM you ever see the letter which was published by your husband in his statement, apparently from; Mr. Beecher to you ! JNo, sir. I never saw it until it was printed there. I'm you ever hear about it ? . 1 was never willinar to have anvthins to do with Mr. Moulton. Mr. Tilton told me that whatever communication 1 had in these matters in regard to Mr. Beecher ana Mrs. Woodhull would come through Mr. Moulton, but I said "I would have nothing to do with any third party, I shall be trusted as I have hitherto, and if Air. needier or any one else has anything to .y to me, it shall not come through Mr, Moulton." Well, there came to me two or three times papers and letters which purported to come from Mr. ttuccher, but 1 did not look at theur because they came through Mr. Moulton 1 did not care anything about them. This one, one day when 1 was sitting in the pailor Mr, Moulton brought to me and said it was a very important letter. I refusal to receive any letter in that way and he said, "Let me read it to you," and he did read something, but it went in one car and out the other, so much so that 1 do not remember what was in it. I know there must have been a letter, but I did not see the handwriting or anything about it. I did not take it in my hands. After reading he carried it away. Can you recall anything in the letter that he read, which makes you think that this is the one? I remember somethibg about his urging me to have Mr. Moulton do a confidant. The only thing that impressed itself upon my mini was that Mr. Beecher desired me to accept Frank Moulton in Borne way, as in him we had a common ground. 1 have a recollection of some such state ment, Hgainst which I rebelled, in the letter which Moulton read to me. ANOTHER LETTER TII.TON WROTE. Do you recollect the letter beginning. "My dear liu-b.tud, I desire to leave wi'li von hef .re going to bed a statement that Mr. Henry Ward Beecher called upon me til is evening and asked me if I would defend him against any accusation in a council of ministers," and ending, "Affec tionately, JMizabeth ! Yes, sir; but that is not my letter. How was it written ? In the same way as those which I have already explained. I have no other ex- , . r c . 1 rpi. piaiiation ior any ui tnem. . ia was written in bed. Mr. Tilton wrote it first. and I eat up in my sick bed and copied it, Is that true ot alt tbe letters that have that significance? Yes, so far as my authorship of them is concerned. Was this letter written when you were sick from a miscarriage? Yes. Do you recollect Mr. Beecher's calling that evening? i'ej. When? But a few hours before I wrote that letter. Can you remember that interview with Mr. Beecher? It was a very similar one to the other, l was half unconscious, and was very ill prepared to see either of them. My room was ntldflrkoneri And mv nurse hftd s;ono to hers Sbe opened the door and said that Mr. Beecher wanted to see me. I certainly do not know what to tell you about that either. ua you remember writing some paper tor Mr. Beecher? Yes. Can you recall the contents of the ta- no, I cannot. 1 tntnk it was to aa something for him, because Theodore had done something' against him. is it true that be said anything to you about a Council ot ministers? 1 do not remember anything about it. I hare tried very hard, dear friends, to get into my mind these scenes, but they are ut terly gone out ot my Drain. THE ANTHONY STORY DIK1SD. The witness never told Mijs Anthony she had committed adul ery, or done wrong with Mr. Beecher. or anything to that effect. Did you ever tell any human beimg that you had been guilty of wrong doing with Mr. Hetclier r I never voltinUnly did so. Once my hus band took me in Mrs. 's carriage to tbe house of a lady to whom be had been telling stories about me and Mr. Beecher. 1 went against my will, and when we got there he said, "1 have brought Elizabeth to 8,eak for herself whether 1 have slandered her," and 1 did not deny htm. it was tue same thing as when I copiel and signed let t ra which Theodore had prepared, and I am reminded ot tuts: 1 do not know wnetner it was treachery, but many times be has said, "You have gone to Dr. Mom's and now he knows that you are guilty." He found out that 1 had been p Dr.Sturre's and he was very inorr ft WHAT MRS. TILTON TOLD HISS ANTHONY. .The witness here recounted the scene at her bouse, when Susan B. Anthony was nresent, mucn as neretotoro puonsnea, ex cept that she toldMiss Anthony that Tilton accused her ot aouitery wun ueecner, ana not that she committed it, She told Miss Anthony that Tilton had charged her with infidel ty with one anl another, and that when he sat at his tabl many times be bad said tbat he did not know who his children belonged to. She bad spoken of it to another person besides Miss Anthony, when Bhe was aroused by Mrs. Woodhull's preseni-e at her bouse and by a visit from two of Mrs. Woodhull's sisters, whom sbe called the police to take away, but Bhe had told these persons nothing more than what unjust accusations bad been put upon her by her husband. Did you in each instance, with her and with Miss Anthony, take the trouble to say that these accusations were false ? No. It never occurred to me to do it. I took them to be reasonable persons, and I never thought of their even wondering if it was so. Mrs. Tilton wss asked if she had written out a confession of guilt with Mr. Beecher, and intended to send it, through her stepfather, to the Church, and said she never heard of it before. In reference to Mr. Beecher's calls upon her, she said he did not call more than once in one or two weeks, TILTON'S INfiniUTIRS. Before she went West in tbe fall of 1810, she had a conversation with her husband In regard to another woman. He said on one or two occasions when she refused him, be had not found it so with other women. Mrs. T. saw this woman when Bhe was west, and she sud she tried to think that lilton was a father and did not mean anything wrong. and concluded not to tell me. When the witness returned from the West htr husband had sent all the servants away and taken into the houBe a middle aged maiden ladv. who had entire possession and minis tered to him in every way, criminally as well as oilier wise. The testimony contains a good deal of this matter, but it is not particularly peitinentto the issue. As to tne character 01 ner private discussions with Tilton, witness said he would take her into a room and lock the door. He had kept her there locked nn rlnv krair innumerable times. He tlways bore down upon her heavily in the way of accusation, aud sbe sometimes leu his MIND WAS UNSKTTLin. Being asked about the interview with Mr. Beecher during the latter part of 1870, about the time of Tilton's valedictory in the inde pendent, Mrs. lilton said sue told Dim sne wanted to talk with him about difficulties at heme. He almost instantly said, "1 will COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19. H. BUCKLEY & CO.'SniMrMAN HIPPODROME! STRICTLY MORAL AND FIRST CLAaS !

I only saw her twice, and thought 1 had better make up my mind for myself, and finally concluded to live with my husband, thinking it was a morbid state be was in and would soon tret out of it. Her tslkswith Mrs. Beerher were long and painful, and she could not recall all tbat was said. As to the woman who was before noticed as occupying her house, Mrs. Tilton said, she bun me more than any one in the world. She was more severe, and treated ma with greater contempt tban anybody else ever did, and to such an extent that I would not speak it to my husband, as be never took my side, nor could 1 tell mother about it. i did not like revesting to her all this trouble. I did not feel that mere was a place for my head to lie down upon in that house, and frequently I went out wandering in the streets. Night after night I walked with my water-nroot cloak on, and would go back and creep into the basement an i lie down anywhere, feeling utterly wretched. Once I went away from horns thinking that 1 would not come back, out i lound that l had left my purse at home and had to re turn. SIEKIKO COMFORT WITH TBI DEAD.

I bad been there but a little while before the keeper of tbe urounus ordered me on. i paid no at tention to him. 1 did not remark his order nnttl he came egnin in few moments and said, I order you off these grounds. Do you hear me ? I rose on my feet and said, "If there is one spot on earth that is mine, it is tuese two graves; and he actually bowed down before me in apology. Though he was a common workman, it was very grateful to me when he said, "i did not know that these were yours;" and he left ms, and I stayed there on the lit tle graves the rest ot the day. Alter Tilton left the Indeiiendent witness Slid sbe suffered much from want, sometimes bad no fire and many a time no rood, and 1 be-odore was utterly indifferent to it. iShe con-eludes with the remark that she has not one pang of conscience that she has not done even thing she could aa a good wife and a good mother to her children, and feels that she haa borne and suffered for her husband's sake, and that he alone is responsible for disruption in the family.
