New York, July 41.—Tho following is the full atatomont of Mr. Tilton, road before tho Plym- outh Church Investigating Committeot Genlemen of the Commitiee: In commnnicating to you the dotailed state- mont of facts and evidenco which you have been soveral days expecting at my hands, lot mo ro- mind you of the circumstances which call this statoment forth, Yo my recont lettorto Dr, Bacon, I alladed to an offense and an spology by the Rev. Honry Ward Boochor. To whomsosver olso this allusion scemed indofinite, to Mr. Beechor it was plain.” ‘'he offense was commit- tod by him, the apology was mado by Lim; TIOTI ACTS WERE 118 OWN, and wero amorg the most momontous ocour- ronces of his lifo, Of all men in Plymouth Church, or in the world, the Rev. Honry Ward Beecher was the one man who was bost informed concorning this offense and apology, aud tho ono man who loast needod to inquire ingy, either. Novertholoss, whilo possessing a porfout knowl- odgo of both theso acts done by bhimself, he hea choson to put on the publio an affoctation of ignorance and innocence concerning them, and has conspicuously appointed a committes of six of the ablest mon of his church, togothor with two attornoys, to inquire into what he lenves you to regard as tho unaccountable mys- tory of this offenso aod spology, o8 it ha had neither committed tho one nor offored the other, but asif both weremere figmonts of another man'a imagination, thus adroitly prompting the public to draw tho deduction that I am o person under some haliucination or delusion, living in & dream and forging a fraud: Furthermore, in order to cast over this oxplanation tho delicate glamour which always londs a charm to the defonse of & woman's honor, Mrs. Ehzaboth R. Tilton, lately my wife, has boon prompted away from her home to reside among Mr, Becoker's frionds, and to co-operats with him in nis OBTENBIDLY HONEST AND LAUDADLE INQUIRY into facts concerning whichshe,too, as wellas bo, hins for years past Liad porfeet and eqaal kuowl- edge with Limself. This investigation, thero- fore, has been publicly pressed upon me by MMr, Beochor, seconded by Mrs. Tilton, both of ‘whom, in 8o doing, have united in assuming be- foro tho public the non-oxistenco of grave and solemn faots into which they have couspired to investigato for tho purpose,—not of elicitiug, but of donying the truth, This joint assumption by thom, which has seemed to your Committeo to be in good faith, has naturally led you into an oxamination into which you expoct fo find on {heir part nothing but innoceuce, and, on my part, nothlug but slander. It is now my unhap- py duty, from which I have in valn hithorto sought oarnostly to bo deliverod, to + GIVE YOU THE FACTS AND EVIDENOES for roversing your opinion on this subject, In doing this painful, I may say heart-ronding, duty, the rospousibility for making the grave disclosurea which I am abont to lay beforo you belonga not to mo, but first to Deesher, who has prompted you to this oxmmination, and next to Mrw, Tilton, who has joined him in a conspiracy which cannot fail to be full of poril and wrotch~ odness to many hearts, Icall you to witness that in my firat briof oxamination by your Com- mitteo I bogged and implored younot to in- quire into the facts of this caso, but rather seek to bury them beyond all possible revelation, Happy for ali concornod had this entroaty been Loeeded, It is nowtoolate. The last opportu- nity for reconcilintion and eettlomont hns passed, This Investigation, undortakon by you in ignoranco of the dangers agaiuet which Boochier should lhave warned you in advance, will shortly prove itsolf to your surprise to have Loen an AT OF WANTON AND WICKED FOLLY, for which the Rev. Iloury Ward Doochor, as its originator and public sponsor, will Loroafter flud “*no epace for ropentance, though ho scok it carofully and with tears,” 'This dosporato man must hold himsolf only, and nok mo, ac- conntable for tho wrotcheduoss which thoso dia- closuros will carry to bis own home and honrth a6 thoy have already brought ta mine. I will add that tho original documents reforred to in the ensuing sworn statomont are for tho most part in my poasession, but that the apology sud & fow otlior papers are in the hands of Francis D, Moulton, Truly yours, (Biguod) - T'weoponk TILTON, —— THE ACOUSATION. Tilton's worn atatomont 15 an follows ¢ Wiueneas, The Rev, Henry Ward Beocher has instigated thoe appointment of a committes, con- alsting of six mombora of his church and sooloty, toinquire and yeport upon alloged aspersions upon his character by Theodoro Tilton; sud Wiueneas, Mrs, Elizaboth R. Tilton, wife of Thoodore Tilton, has desorted hor homo in ordor to co-operste with Doochor in a coneplracy to overthrow the credibility and good reputo of hor lato husband as a man and oltizon; therotors, Theodors Tillon, being thus authorized and required, and by published domand mado upon him by tho Rov.

Heury Ward Beecher, which marriago, thirteen yoars aftermards, was dishonorod and violatod by this clorgyman, through tho criminal seduction of this wifo and mothor, ss horoinaftor sot forth, PLRFIDIOUS CONDUCT. Second—That for o poeriod of about fitteon yours, oxtending both bofore and aftor this mar- ringo, an intimato friondship oxisted betweon Theodore Tilton and the Rev.

THE ORINE. Third—That sbout nine years ago tho Rov. Henry Ward Beechor bogan, and_thereaftor con tinuod, a friondship with Mrs, Elizaboth It. Til- ton, for whoso native dolicacy and extroma runilouu sonelbility ho often exprossed to hor husbaud a bigh admiratlon, visiting her from time to time for yenra, until'the yoar 1870, whon for roasons hereinaftor statod ho coaeed such visita, during which poriod, by many tokous and attontion, Lo won the affoctionate Jovo of Mrs. Thiton whoreby, aftor long moral rosistance by her, and aftor repeated assaults by him upon hor mind with ovormastoring arguments, nccom- plished the posscesion of her person, maintain- ing with her thenceforward during the poriod horoinaftor atated the relation called criminal intorcourso, this relation being rogarded by hor during that period as not criminal or morally wrong, such bad boen tho power of hin argu- moutsns & clorgyman to satisfy hor religious ecruplos against such violation™ of virtue and ouor, BPECIVICATIONS, . Fourth—That on tho ovening of Oct. 10, 1868, or therenbouts, Mra, Elizaboth R, Tilton held an interview with tho Roy. lenry Ward Boochor at his residenco, 'sho boing ‘then in n ton- dor stato of mind, owing to tho ro- cont desth and burinl of a young child; and during this interview “an act of crimmnal commerco took place between this paa- tor nud ihis parishoner, tho motive on her part Deing, as horoinboforo stated, not regarded by Lier at the timo as crimiual or wronfi + Which act was followed by similar acts of criminality bo- twoon tho samo parties nt Tilton's residence dur- ing & pastoral visit paid by Beechor to her on the subsequont Saturday evening, followea also by othor similar acts on various occasions from tho autumn of 1868 to tho epring of 1870; the piaces belug tho two residonces aforesaid, aud occa- siounlly other places to which ber paator would invito and nccompany ber, or at which ho woutd mect hor by provious appointment ; thosa acta of wrong beiug on hor part from firat to last not wanton or consclously wicked, but arising through o Dblindiig "of her moral porcep- tious occagioned by -tho . powerful influonco oxerted on her mind ot that time, Lo this ond, by the Rov. Henry Ward Becchar, as har trusted roligious precoptor and guide, Fifth—Thnt tho pastoral visits made by the Rov. Honry Ward Bocohor duriny; the year 1863, became so froquent as to excite comment ; being in warked coutrast with his known habit of moking fow pastoral ealls on his parishionors, which “frequency in Mra, Tilton's caee is shown in Jotters written to hor busband during his ab- sonce in the West ; theso lottors giving ovidonce that during o poriod of fivo or six weoks, twelve different pastoral calls on Mrs. Tilton woro mado by tho Rev. Honry Ward Beochor, which cafls became noticeably infroquont on Tilton's roturn to his homo. 5 MR8, TILTOX'S BOTIVES, Sixth—That provious Lo tho aforesald criminal intimagy oue of the reasona which Mre., Tilton alloged for Lor encourngomont of such excep- tional attontions from the Rov. Ilonry Ward Beocher was, in fact, that she hnd beon much | distressed with rumors against his moral purity, and wished to convince him sho conld receive hiy kindnoss end yot rosist his eolieitations ; and that sho could inspire in him, by her purity and fidelity, an increased rospact for tho chasto dig- nity of womanhood. Pravions to the sutumn of 1868 sho maintnined, with Christian firmness, towardg her pastor this position of resistanco, nl- ways refusing - his amorous ’fluus. which woro strong and oft-ropeatod ; und, in & lotter to her }mxabnnd, datod Feb. 8, 1808, she wrote as fol- ows : To love i pralseworthy, but to abuse the gift is sin, Tere I am strong, No demonstrations or fascluations could causoe mo 10 yleld my womanhood, TILTON'S FINST BUSFICIONS. Beventh—TI'hat tho first susplcion which crossed tho mind of Thoodore Tilton that the Rov. Ionry Ward Hcochor was abusing, or might abuso, tho affection and roverence which Mra, ‘Tilton bore towards her pastor, was an impropor cavess givoeu by Boecher to Mrva. Tilton, by the introduction of his band under her dross, whilo soated by hor sido on tho floor of his library overlooking engravings. Mr. Tilton, a fow Liours eftorwards, askod of his wifo an explana- tion of lier permiusion of such Nberty; wheraat sho at first denied tho fact, but thon® confessod it, ond snid sbo had spoken chidingly to Boocher concorning it. On anothor occunion, ‘Iilton, aftorleaving his house in tho early morn- ing, returned to it in the forenoon, aud on going to iy bod-chambor found tho door locked, aud whan, on knocking, the door was oponcd by Mrs. Tilton, Bocchor Was scen within apparently much confused, and exhibiting u flushod faco, Mts, Tilton aftorwards made a plausiblo expluna~ tion, which, from the confidence roposed in hor by her husband, was by bim deomod satisfao~ tory.
