The renomination of Congrossman Poland, in Vermont, Aug. 12, was attonded with a “bolt" of thirty-oight dologates from the Ropublican Convention, and theso have nominated Dudloy 0. Dontluon, of Royalton. Thoro is some doubt about the confirmation of Juuge Dickey as Corporation Counsel. It1snot nltogothor plesant to think what will become of tho Aldermon who dony tho graclons importuni- ty of Mr. Caulfleld. Thoy will probsbly got somo man of their own choosing, and oventually bo slzin by tho jaw bono of an ass. Tho Govornor-Genoral of Canada will arrive in Chicago to-day. Dreadful arrangemonts have been mado for rocolving him in truo Amer- fean style. Ocoasions liko these aro a prov- ooation for passing around wine and cigars among the Aldermen and city officials at tho ex- ponse of the tax-payers, honce the tumultuous outhusingm with which they are obsorved. France will make no demand for the extradi- tion of Marshal Bazaino. This forboaranco is ecarcely proiseworthy, sinco the demand, if mado, would doubtloss bave beon ineffectusl. It may be sigoificant, howovor, of a very genoral feeling in Franco that the Marshal’s escapo is o good riddance of an oxpensive prisoncr, whose power for good or bnd scarcoly justifiod confine- mnnt,' and whose past mieconduot was moro tho result of ignorance than of premeditated troacha:y, Evorybody who has time to spare for such ro- spectablo discussions would like to know why the Towa Railway Commissionors wore not pros- ent at the Conventlon. in Dubuquo this wook, Courtesy would seem to requiro thom to be the first on tho ground, and the last to leave it, Their apathy is really very discouraging to a - &chemo of co-operation botween the Commission- org of difforent States. It is a now flourieh, and wholly unexpected. ————— Jere Harulson, n black man, was nominated to Congress in tho Mobile (Aln.) District yostor- day, on tho 240th ballot.

The subatancoof Mr, Doechor's toatimony bo- fore the Plymouth Committos in that Tilton and Moulton aro knfives and Carpentor & fool. On thia last point Mr. Boocher s very explicit. Tho ono dovelopment mado in the oross-oxam- ioatlon with which the public is chlofly con- comod, relato to alleged paymonta of monoy by Bocchor through Monlton to Tilton, The ob- Ject of thia testimony manifestly is to prove that Moulton and Tilton are schoming, designing men. If this objeot should bo attained, Mr. Boochor's cnso would not bo materlally holped, for ho hss . not - sufficiontly oxplained his ronsons for buying il ton's silonco. By his own mccount Mr. Boochor used $7,000 in this ' manuer. The first inatallmont paid was $5,000, and, in order to raiso it, Mr. Beochor morigaged Lis houso.

BEECHER'S DEFENSE, Tho statemont of Mr, Becohor is incomplato, and is too much marked by an effort at avoid- ance. It hna rondered Moulton's full statoment, with a1l the documents, nocessary. There can be no furthor excuso or spology for delay or for withbolding that statoment. Tilton’s charge wag: 1. That io July, 1870, ho was informed for the first timo by bis wife that, for & year and more provious, she and Mr. Becchor had . boen having adulterous rolations, Upon hoaring this, Tiltoa never again entered Plymouth Church, but moved by Iove for his wife, whom Lo belioved to havo been overwhelmed by her ;pastor and not porsonally corrupt, ho consentod, for her sake and the eake of his childron, to condono the crimo, 3 2. That in] December, 1870, businoes diffioul- ties ocourring botweon Bowon and Tilton, ip which Beochor intorposed againat Tilton, an in< torviow was had betwoon Boocher and Tilton at the houso of Moulton, whora thoy mot for tho first timo sinco the July provious; that, at that intorview, Moulton road to Beecher s statomont in writing, settiug forth tho substauco of Mrs, Tilton's confession; and that this was tho firet knowledge that Boccher had that sho had con- fossod ; that Boecher askod to seo Mra, Tilton, and that evening did soe her, aftor whieh ho ro- turaed to Moulton’s, oxprossing eorrow. and shamo; that, lator that night, Tilton returned to his homo, whoro Lo heard that Beecher had ob- «{ tainod from Mrs, Tilton o statemont in writing for bia dofonse, in caso ho was triod by & minis~ terlal council; that, the noxt day, Moalton, in- formed of this, wont to Becoher, domanded and obtained this oxtorted rotraction; that on Jan, 1, 1871, at an interviow ot Boocher's roquost with Bloulton, B. oxprossed groat contrition aud re- morge for his provious eriminality with Mrs. Ty and bogged Moulton to write out the now famous “apology,” which Lo signed, ; 8. In'3ay, 1871, Victoria Woodhull advertised in tho World thut shio know of dombostio immo- rality In 8 cortain family, and the samo day ad- dresged a noto to Tilton, demanding an inter- viow. At that intorviow sho told him tho par- tios woro Mr. Becohor and Mrs, Tilton, Blio an- nouncod her purposo to publish the wholo atory. Tilton from that time sought by overy means to induco her not to do so, and for noarly n year he maintained an acquaintanco with her for that purpose. Mrs, Tilton and Beocher wera awaro of theso offorts on his part. Tho Woodhull woman eventually published the story in No- vomber, 1872. 4. 'Chat Tilton, m ordor to protact his wite from the gronter scandal, hns ropoatedly given agsent to the intimation that Beccher's offonse ‘was morely an overture to his wife. " ‘With this stutoment Tilton published, as con- firmatory, various doouments, which have boon siuce veriflea with tho originals In tho bands of Moulton, To this cousition Mr. Beochor now makes roply: 1. That Tilton's enmity againat him began in an offort to coorco him in aiding Tilton to ob- taln 7,000 claimed of Bowen, 2. Thot in Decembor; 1870, Mrs. Tilton loft hor houso because of Lilton's oruelty; sent for bun, aud that ho and his wife advised hor to bave & formal reparation from lLor husband, 8. That a fow deys after, Bowen delivered him & uote from Tilton, dumunding Lis rotivement {from Plymouth Church; he treatod it with con- tompt, 4. That {u conroquence of hiy rofusing to tako part with Tilton aguinst Bowon, and of his toll ing Bowen of his bollof in THton's immora) agso- ciates and habits, Tilton, on Deo. 20, 1870, ** ox~ torted from hig wifo, then sufferiug from Nlness, 8 dooument orimlnating" Bocchor. That (ho next dap lio went with BMoulton und eaw Tilion, felad AHL CHICA DALY TRIBUNR: - NATI who #lion mcensod him of bmsinoss «onmity, of baving fnjurod bim in his family by advlsiog a se’paration, and of having made wicked proposals to Mrs. Tilton, Tilton informod Boocher that tlifs conforenco lind boon mado n thie July pro- vious, and told him Mra,'T. wns thon atLome and would confirm the siatoment. 'Thnt he (Buoclier) eaw Brw.Tilton, who wausick fnbed,and obtalned an expliclt rocantation of thao statoment which sho said Lor husband had made her sign. That, with this paper, Lio roturncd to Moulton's, eald nothing of the papor, and soon aftor wont home, Tho next doy Monlton camo to hiim,romon- atratod againat his having obtsined hior recanta- tlon ; doalarod that sho hiad already racanted hior recantation, and ho then surrondored tho paper. 6. That s day or two after (about Jan 1, 1871) Moulton visitod him; thoy had s long talk abont tha wholo mattor; ho (B.) was groatly pained, and oxoitod, and alarmed by tho throatonod do~ Btruction of all the alms of his lifo ; bolieving that he had porhaps unjustly (huught Tilton jm= moral, and hnd iajurcd him by advising a sopa~ ration from his wifo, eto., ho exprossed. his re- grot {n_tho ‘most enrncst torma ; that Moulton suggested a lottor of apology to Tilton ; that this 1io declined, but told him to toll all to Tilton 3 that Boulton roducod to writing, in bia (M.'s) ‘own words, as heads or momorandum, what was o be said to Tilton ; that this paper, writton by ‘Moulton, he (Boochor) never read mor hoard xoad ; that, except tho last lino and signature, ho waa ignorant of its "contonts ; that, subso- ‘quently Monulton . informed. him that this ‘papor had beon dostroyed. This papor is tho “apology.” - . G. That aftor this he met Tilton at Moul- fon's; and subsoquontly he was invited by Til< ton to his houso, who rocommonded and prafacd bim to Mrs. Tilton. 7. In May, 1871, Woodhull advertised hor pur- pose to publish a scandal; that Tilton * ostensl- bly * kept this supprossed untll November, 1872 ; in tho monntime she was Tilton's horolne, 8. That until tho Woodhull publication ho had nover heard of tho charge of adultory, nor any- thing but that ho had mada proposals to. Mrs, Tilton., -- * This ia tho substanos of Tilton's sworn stato- mont and Beecher's unsworn ‘denial. How far tho ono ropols or meots the other is tho matter to ba dotarminad now. A The *“apology,” or eubstantial confesslon, oxists, Tilton accopted and acted on it as Boochor's own dosument ; Boccher doclaros that 1t is not his, and dononncos it. Horo, thon, faa case whare Mr. Moullon must como to tho front and clear up this niystory. " p ! " Tho next polnt is that Boocher declares he nover loard of any graver charge'than an ovor- ture until the Woodhull atory was publishod. Hero, too, ia a point on which Moulton alone can furnish any light. - =i oAl Br. Boecher ‘attributes to Tilton's Intimsoy with the Woodhulls aud thelr olan the wrocking of Tilton’s morals, and that this was ono of the : roasons’ why ho advisod & soparation. This ad-, vioa waa tho ocoasion of the *apology.” Tilton' 6ays, and his statomont fa not contradictod, that ho nover mot the Woodhull until noarly s yonr ‘aftor his wife's confession, and six montha aftor Yo had accused Boochor, aind aftor tho lattor had’ confessed nnd apologized. & Mr, Baocher labors arduously throughout to' .explain hig various lettors and deprive them of sny moaning; but the answor, Lowover satis-. factory it might bo In ordinary circumatnnces, falls short of explaining letters which avidontly. had some objeot, which had & direct aud fixed mesning when written, which were delivered and *bavo been held in confidencs evor sinco, Tho ‘meaniug of thoso lottora has been sttested by an oath, and it 1s nlloged that Moulton, by the full confldence of all partios, can verify it. The intimations of Mr. Bocoher, that Tilton was covertly sooking to blaokmail Lim, are un- genorous; it is disproved by overy incident in the history of the man and of this transaotion. The mouey olaimed of Bowen was a lawful dobit which ho could havo collectod in any court of common {utefligence. Nor isthe intimation that Tilton was immoral of any avail to Mr, Boechor; whatover Tilton's crimes, theyin no wise chango the case againet Mr, Beoclior. The furthor charge that Tilton was dotormined to uso this accusation to follow Boachor through lifo, is hardly borno out by the facts. It ia disproved by Tilton's sworn atatomont that he had novor communtcated the wholo caso to any outsidor eave Monlton sud Boocher; and that his lito was dovoted to the euppression of his wife's shamo. But when Mr, Booohor appointed hig six frionds to investigato, and the noxt day Mras, _Tilton abandonad Lils house and went over to Bocohor's frionds to denounce Ler husband, thon ho told tho astory which, for hor Bake, ho had earriod g0 long, and which, for hor salo, ho would havecarried to the grave. Asan nnewoer to Tilton's charges, Mr. Boacher's statement lnoks tho coufirmation it noeds in cseontinl points from Moulton. Tho acousation depends for proof upon Mrs. Tilton's confes- sion and Boachor's vorbal snd written admis -’ sions to Moulton. Tho denial ropudiatos baving made auch admissions; Monlton, of necossity, holds all tho evidence, and, while his testimony inone viow may be necossary to complate Til-- ton's accusation, Mr, Booohor's vindlcation is oqually dopendent upon Moulton’s expliclt pub- lieation of all tho favts and doouments, In the | abgenco of Moulton's vindication and informa- tlon Mr, Boocher's dofense must be cooeldered dofective and incomplote. It Is the word of an sccused man againat the oath of hig aoccuger, The Bupremo Court of California hag decldod that Judgea oloctod to Al vacancics in that body shall servo, not mercly the unexpired term of tho member whosa retiroment Las caused the vacanoy, but full ten years dating from tho timo of election. Thoro aro, thoreforo, occasional troubloaabout thio matter.

His ronomination is, thorofore, of pocullar intorest. Tho issue of the “elaction will show, in s manner not to bo mis- takon, “whother party-loyalty and ability can _thoroughly condone, in Republican eyos, grave ‘offenses against morality. Mr. Garfleld, who .claims to be plous and ia able, kas been detected in sovoral slips. Thero aro threo espoclal chargos against him, which hls most partial friend would scarcely daro to deny. Ho was dishonorably involved in the Crodit- Mobllior scandal. The soraps of ovidonce thab tho Poland Committoo suffored to oome to light seomed to show that Garflold's gutl was noxt to “that of Amos aud Brooks, 8o genoral was thia ‘impression that whon Butlor hurled tho biting epigram **.Nil da motluis nisi bonum” ut him, ita oruel justico was universally recognizod. The remarkablo ossay on tho history of the Crodit Mobilior, which appeared in & rocent number of Scribner, placed Garfiold among the mon whose guilty complicity was Loyond a doubt. 2 . In tho second place, Mr. Qarfleld's course in relation to tho salary-grab was not ono which would warrant furthor confidonco in him. Whon the peopld ‘rebolled against the back-pay, he ploaded that ho had to vote for it in order to 8ave the Appropriation bill. Butlor showed, on tho floor of the House, that he (Garfiold) was a membor of the Conforonce Committse on tho Appropriation bill, aod could have lopped off tho back-pay amendment in the Cowmittes moot- ing, if he hed wished to do so. After other trioks and turns had failed to quiet popular in. dignation, it was announced with * groat pomp that Garfleld had novor drawn bis back-pay. In othor worde, bo moant to walt until tho storm had blown ovor aud pookot . tha plunder then. This would not do, A fresh outburst ment him to the Treasury Dao- partmont, whore he drow his pay and then duly returned it. Buch s serics of makeshifts indicatod a desire to gain honor by protending to refund the money aud to gain shokols by pocket- Ing it at the same time. A lnrgo numbor of his constituonts at once roquested him to romign, Thoir opinion of his conduct was plain, In tho third placo, Gon. Garfleld took n feo ot ©6,000 from Parsons for gorvices whioli it was not ereditablo for him to perform, Ifo was Chalrman of the Appropriations Committao, ° Evory dollar votod for the Distriot of Columbis improvomonta had to b apnroved by this Qom- mitteo, Its recommendation would load Con- grosato givo or to deny. And of courso tho most potont voico in it was that of Gen, Gar- fleld. Tho Diatrict offioials wero scutaly con- mclous of this fack. Thoy bowed obsoqui- ously to all Garfleld's suggostions, Parsons know this. 8o e gave Garflold an oxorbitant feo for n short argument. Ho roally paid him for use of the influenca over the District ofl- clals which bis position gave him. Everyhody olso know this.
