STANTON’S STORY, New Yonk, Aug. 1.—An_Argus reportor bas had another interview with 3irs. Elizabeth Cady ‘Stanton, the material parts of which are as fol- lows : Reporter—You bave .no doubt in your mind but that Mrs. Tilton made a confeesion 1o Susan B. Anthony ? g Afrs. Stanton—Not the slightest; not any ‘more than though I bud heard it myeelf. Suzan always speaks tho truch. R.—And that confession was of s criminal in- timacy with Heory Ward Beecher ? Mrs. 8.—Yes, criminal 85 the word iz generally nnderstood. rs, Tilton did not look upon it in that way. R.—~But it wes a confession of what Mr. Tilton has sioce charged ? Mrs. S.—Provisely. R.—You kuow beyond all doubt that Theodors Tilton told to you and to Mrs. Buliard the story of hig wic's infidolity ? Mrs. S.—Certainly, The main facts of the case ho told ns at the time I have specified. Many incidents related in the -Woodhull state- ment I hiad never heard of, but the story itself 1 bieard from his lips. b R.—After Mr. Titon had told you this story, id ho ever deny it ? P A Mrs. S.—Yes, When the Woodhall' thunder- bolt had fallen, Mr. Wilkeson called upon Mr. Tilton, and the latter flatly denied baving made any such statements regarding his “wile. As 500n 28 I was informed of this I said to Miss Avthony, “I bave proof of my-story, and I weob you to go etraight . to M. Bullard's _ with me.” We went thero, 30d, in an interview lastiog_over an hour. I re- called to Mrs. Bullard Mr. Tilton’s conversation ter, and _vhe fally con- firmed my statement to Miss Anthony. . On the same occasion, Miss Anthony.indigoant at the message Mr. Wilkeson had communicated from Mr. Tilton, stated to Mrs. Bullard ber interview with Elizabeth ou that memorable pight. R.—To whom doca this account in fhe Chicago paper interview refer? L Mrs. 8.—To Mrs. Feroando Jonea., i © R.AWhat do you thinkof the .statements credited to her? © - Mrs. 8.—Perhaps I ought to oxtend tho same charity toward Mrm. Joues she has toward me. I believo the.interviewer reported her words in- corzectly. At the samo time I readily under- ‘stand how, “not kmowinz that I Lad decided to make apything public, rs. Jones might have told her utory out of siple fricndship for me. ‘That 18, in order to hido the truth. » R.—Have you any idea what testimony Frank Moulton could render if he wished 2 . Ars. 8.—Notbing moro than that be has been in the confidenco of Mr. Beeclier for many years. Alter the visit_which tho latter once made to Mr. Moulton: Frank eaid: “We have had Ply- mouth. Church on. its knees here.” Of course his testimony ougbt to be had. R.—Aro yon willing to appear before the Com- mitteo, Mre. Stanton? - , re. 8.—No, not before that Committee, When gentlemen who are’in the confidence of its proceedings toll me that the' integTity of every witness who nppears against Mr. Beecher is to be impeached, I have no wish to give mv testimonv. 1 belong to a family of lawyers, and 1 bave great rospect forthelaw. Whon the case comes vefore a civil court, I shiall wiilingly ap- Tear, if eummoned. Inerd is no stronger proof that tha Committce have o difficuit case in eus- taining Mr. Beecher than its understood de- termmnation to impeach the intexrity of every witness againet him. and no better proof of tbe strengih- of Mr. Tiltons position than its sulterfuges in iying to uodermine him by attacking the characters of all the ladies of his acquaintance. Can Mr. Beebber, iu Lis circle, .boast nobler, truer, purer women than thoss identihed with the various reform_movements in this country? Neitbor Mr. or Mrs. Tilton need be ashamed of such ac- quaintances 2s Grace Greenwood, Colia Barleigh, Anna Dickinson, Lucy Stane, Suena B. Anthony,: or Paulina Davis, who ‘bave sll peen houored visitors at his house. It is beneath the digmity of any man or commitice of men to atiempt t0 shadow lives likp these! R.—Have you heard from Miss Anthony since the publication of your statement? Mrs. S.—I bave. Bl has been on a lecturiog tour, and bas been very unwiiling to eay any- thing about the matter. She considered it would po a breach of confidence. R.—Did you read Mr. Carpester's statement ? 3fre. 5.—I did, and in its confirmaiion I havo 1o gay that, durng my recent visit to Paulina Davie, at Providence, she told me that she had heard this story from Oliver Johnson's family Jong before I know anytbing of it. .—What do you think of Ar. Tilton's arrest ? Mr: —I was in bopes it would bring the caso "into tho courts, but I suppose soms other means will have to be taken to accomplish that end. At the conclusion of the interview Xrs. Stan- ton observed, I doo't like to berepresented by the prees as strikiog a blow at woman. bnt, when 1t comes to the women of the suflrage movement and AMr, Boecher, I profer to let him kick tho beam; though 'he may take some one | woman with him. 4 el MRS. TILTON'S TESTIMONY. Special Dispateh to The Chieago Tridune, NEw Yok, Aug.’ rs. Tilton's testimony l_an night will not .be officially given to the pub- lic at present. - The Committee do not seem to think as higbly of it ag was anticipated. Oneot the mombers admizted to your correspondent that, while iz is o general destal of all Tilton's charges, 1t 2dmits some of the epecifications to be true. T infer from all that was said tbat Mrs, Tilton was not as good a witness for Boecher as the Committee desired—for,. let what will be snid, the membois of the Committee have each and every one ‘betrayed a strong prejudice against Tilton, and 2n equally positive partiality towards Beecher. In- fact, gome of their indiscreet expressions of betraving their partiall- ty are common subjects of conversation, damag- ing to Beecher, 88 ekowing tho TUNZATRNESS OF THE INVESIGATION. The Committeo dribbled oat a few points{ofj3rs. Tilton’s testimony. Theso refer to the Grifith Gaunt lgtter, the Miss Anthony scene in Tilton's house, and Btorrs’ letter. The principal points of this, from the Fagle, have been telegraphod you by the ‘Associatea Press, bnt I have in addi- tion & few facts from ono of the Committee. In telling the story of the Gaunt lotter, she ex- plained how Tilton ' had _trented her with tho utmost cruelty and discourtesy, while Beecher bad ‘been, on tho contrary, ten- der and affectionete. Tilton' had mo regard for her opinious or views ; Beecher mado a pomt of consulting her about many thiogs. o wrote and asked ber views about many things ho said pablicly. Tilton made ber feel sho was uobody ; Beecher that she was of some impor- tarce. She said that ou one occasion when she huog on ber husband’s arm in the strect, they met Mrs. Lsura Curtis Bullard, a beautiful woman, then editor of the Recolution, snd sfter they had paesed Tilton said to her: * I would Rivo §500 if you were not with me.” Whenever he went on 8 lecturing-tour he would say that sho need not exoect him to regard * 108 JARRIAGE TOWS. Oncoat a_ reception, where a large number of women's-rights women' vero present, bo called ber one side and directed her not to approach or speal to bim duriug the evening. 28 their per- sonal appearanco was in sach contrast that peo- ple were audibly pitying him on account of her izmoble appearance. ~ Beccher, on the contrary, was always considerate, and, in spite of her love forTitton, she could not but contrsst thetwo men; sud in time her love for her husband W:ngd, and ber affection for her pastor devel- oped. In addition to what yon havo about the scene with Mies Aotnony, Mrs. Tilton testified that Tiltou’s rage was firet directed towards Miss Anthony, and drove that lady to her room. Hero Mrs. Tilton joined her to spologize for her busband's conduct, and in the confidence of tho bour told the story of what 1ilton had ac- cused ber of; but did not coufess its truth, Sho said Tilton had sccused her ropeatedly of adultery, not only with Deecher, but with gev- eral other men, **all of whom,” 83i¢ your' corre- spondent's_informant, **Mrs. Tilton named to the Committee.” 7 - The story of writing to Storrs a confeesion of guilt is parily reproduced in_what you kave al- ready; but, i aliuding to that, she said that a loug time past Tifton bad imposcd on her, and induced her to write and sign whatover ho wrote by artful represeniations that he was laboring with Beecher and Moulton to keep the scandal lidden; snd it mas not until he wrote and pub- lished the Bacon leiter that she was undeceived. 170 the Assocuated Pren.) Nrw Yomx, Aug. L—In the examination of Mrs. Tillon, last evening, she reconnted the ef- forts she bad made to restrain her huskand from goiug after strange women. He openly an- nounced to her that he lad wholly changed the viows be bad Leld on the marriago relation, &nd she bad oo mach reason to believe that he wea living the life which was consistent with that change. When Lo brought the Woodhulls to her house and imposed tlese harlots mpon ber, she uged every means in her power to in- duce them to leave, but they would not go. She finally, in despair, sent for the police to remove zh‘em, and when tne Woodhulls heard that they eft. Referring to the sceno of the night when Su- £an Anthooy was there, eho said it was sccne of great violence and excitement. She eaid the never saw Theodore 8o crazed as he was that night. Miss Aothony slept with Ler, and maae very frce refereuce to the stories in circulacion :‘;b:ut Thoodore's life. She said moat solomaly t IT WAS NOT TRUE SHE MADE ANY CONFESSION to Susan Anthony of any improper act on her part. All she said to her on that subject was that Theodore was circulating stories, 2nd bad been for a long time, to her prejudice and that of Mr. Beecher. Sho had ndt a thoughs of say- ing that there was a word of truthinit. There was no truth in that statement. It wasentircly false. Shedoes not believe that Susan An- thony would say that she ever gave her s hint iri that direction. . : . Ars. Tilton was asked if she ever, of her own motion, wrote a word, eicher in a letter or a statement, affecting improperly borself or 3lr. Deecher, She answered ee nover bad ; that tho most she everdid was fo copy papers tiat Theodors bad prepared for her. Somctimes she {id not oven know the contents of the paper. DOTBLE-DEALING TILTON. Theodore would maso assurances that it was best to do it for the peace of the family, for ber 'Ec.'wc. 2nd for his peace, to Lelp Lim out of bis usiness tronbles. On one occasion this was done while she was eick in bed, upon the strong- st statements by ‘him that it was for her best interests, When the statcment was propared for Dr. Storrs to ses, and F. B. Carpenier was helpiog the thing on, Thecdore' mrote every word of the stntcment, and brought it ‘1o her to copy. 5ho copied it until sho got to the clauge charging that Mlr. Doeckec had made improper advances'to her. She refused to copy it furiher, snd told Thbeodore™ thut " it ‘was_ false, aud & great “upon Mr. Beecher. Theodore : £aid, ever mind; it is best jon should | do it L & bave got my true statement of the etory all wricten here (sbowing her a roll of mavuscript). I want that statement of yours for the siory to hivge on. Iwant to show it to Dr. Storrs.” This waa done about four weeks before the Council sat. Sne felt that sho had commilted & grest wrong, and, without consulting znybody, sle went to Dr. Storrs, .called his attention to the stotcment, 2nd told him that it was false. She explained to bim how she had vielded to Theodore’s forciblo persuasions. The Doctor €2id to Ler b wished ho had known it earlier, sud ‘asked hor if she was aware thatshe had committed an enormous in in charging such & thing on JIr. Beccher. " She said : * Yes, but it was Theodore's will sud not mine,” or words to' thihe effect. Y 2 . S TN S LETTER FROM BEECHER TO MRS. . . "TILTON.

NzwYonx, Aug. 1.—The Fagle publishes what purports to be the substauce of Beecher's farth- coming explanation, but I understand itto be unzathorized, snd simply a venture at a defense, arranged by an inventive but unscrupulous re- porter. The fsct isthat Beecher's statement was finished last Monday. It has been seen only by Tracy abd Shearman, his lawyers. They insist on delay uotil Moulton testifies, and will not hiear of its_ submission or publication if Joultou is to be kept in reserve. In the mean- time MovLTOX manages tokeep out of the way and evinces no dizposition to put himself in the hands of the lawyers and the Commiites, who aro merciless in thoir efforts to im- peach Tilton's witneases.. They want only the docaments which Aoulton is supposed to have, and lay great stress on his failure to sub- mit toe documents quoted, From nll the infor- mation obtainable, it seems Likely that Monlton will ot appear. Beecher will be heard, and then the muittee, after hastily adjourning, will report to the Church that there is nothing to act on. There will be no ecclesinatical trial. Plymouth Church will be eatistled, and Beecher will prench. to larger audionces 'than before. But 1 that. event Tilton will carry the matter ;ngaem courts, in which the lawyers will Te- oice. 170 the Associated Frees,l AT PLYNODTH CHURCIL NEw Yorr, Aug. 1.—The usual Friday evening mecting was lield at Plymoutn Charch jast evon- ing, about 900 people boing present. Tho services, like those of the preceding week, wore characterized by porhaps more than the usual fervor and fellowship, and the references to Mr. Beecher in the prasers were continaous and fro- quent.

Mr. Halliday, the assisiant pastor, choss for the groundwork of his short discoutse the chapter bemnning: ** Bobold how good and how blessed it 18 for brothren to dwell together in ad continuing wich, “*A new command- ment I give unto yo, thet ye love one another.” Mr, Halbday pointod out the application of these precepts by reading A NUMBER OF LETTERS - that ho had received from old members of the church.. Oune writes: ‘‘Ishalllove aodadhero to Mr. Beecher to the ond, loving with a_pure and heavenly love, as commanded in tbe Scrip- tures, being, 85 I have from early childbood, un- der his teachings, and recoiving so much benefit and instruction up to the present time.

Another sags: * Bless his hesrt! how you will musy him, acd he will miss his people, too! " 5 - A RTOBY. . Toafriend and acqusintance of Mr. Tilton and Mr. Beecher for many years is attributed the following story, made public this morming: - * [ know tbat Mr. Tiltoz told me that Ar.

Personafly, I might fee! in- clined to accept their verdict, but the world looks for & judgment anthoritative and final.

A reporter called on Theodore Tilton to-dsy at his residence, who, without waiting for qnues- tions smid, * Do not ask me quostions. I have Touing to say of or for myself.

Rather more than cighteen mouths ago the following narrative, in substance, was communi- cated to us by 3 gentleman of high social po- sition aud litersry eminenco, concerning tha so- called Woodhull scandal 2gainst Henry Ward Beecher. The nmarrative was not intended for publication, but for the private information and guidsace of Tie Triivxe. Tho story scemed to s altogether incrediblo, but recent rovelations Dave apparently confirmed it, or, at izast, have sendered it highly credible. We should premiso tbat the narrative included the substance of the facts embraced in Theodore Tilton's gl\'omuwe— ment,—mivus the documentary evidence em- bracsd iu the Iatter.

Mr. Powen was a farty to bushing up that affair, Soon aftorwanis another reveiation of a very ‘Qistreseing cheracter was mado to Mr. Bowen, in which Beecher figured a8 2 villain. Mr, Bowen communicated theso things to Mr. Tilton. Then ho went to his summer residence in Woodstock, Conn, and while there he wrote back to Tilton. telling him the whole story on paper. That will bo recognizea a3 the BOWEN LETTER, about which 80 much has beengaid. It wasthen decided that Beecher must leave the newspaper, there being two reasons therefor, ope of which s the privategrief of Bowen, and theother that Beecher's conduct would be exposed at some time, snd it wonld be fatal to the bosiness pros- perity of the Independent. 3 . “Fiiis scandal camo near_breaking out at tast time, a8 many will remember, in connection with tho ramor that Beecoer was going to leave ths ministry and Lecome connected with the secular press, That projest failed somehow, and the Christian Union was stsrted.
