It is ooe of thoto statements which makes ono doubt his own idoutity, quostion his own sanity, and trome bl for Liis own reputation, as ho modltates upon this tondor and tonchiug eplsodd of winter lin- goring in tho lap of spring.

The heavy battles ara to como. Wo do not proposs in this connection to expross any opiolon on tho rights or wrongs of oitbor purty o tho controversy. “Our nim {s simply to show that tho men who think that “clieop transportation™ s to bo o polftical ory for a year or wo and thon befioard no more, are griovonsly mistaken. In tho tirst placo, oach party is thoroughly convincod that it s ontirely right, sud that the othor is outirely wrong. The farmer bolisves that ho has boou tleceed out of tha profits ho should tave mude by tho oxtortlonate freight-chargon rondored nocossary by the diskionent contracts, watorad stack, Crodit-Mobillor management, aud genoral obicanory of which lie bolioves that all railvay managors uave boon guilty, 1In proof that ho fs right, Lo odduces a pumbor of osos u which ench guilt has heou proved to his satisfaction. Tho monagers, on tho other bund, declire thot the ruilroads hisve beon pustied forward for the sake of doveloping tho country, that tho chargos now must reimburse the eapital for the time during which it haa laid Idle, that the men who com- plain of thom could uot raise s bushel of grain but for the roads they aro trying to blackmnil, and that tho piosout chsrges aro mot ligh onough to pay & fatr {uterest on the capital in- vosted, No immedinta comproming is possiblo bolween partics 8o thoronghly convincod of the entire reasouabloness of thoir own and tho on- tiro unressonabloness of their oppononts’ views, Tais thorough conviotiou iv tho Lrst casential to & protracted quarrel. Becoudly, thoro aro ront griovancos on both sides. Uho farmer, scolug that some of his woos aro chargoablo upou tho railronds, naturally ot~ tributes them all to tho vame cause. The mis- fortunes which a high tariff, an ivflated cur- ronoy, the jobbory of legislators, tha over-pro- duction of grain, and tho fanits of raflrond- monsgement have brought upon bim, =are all charged to the score of the last. Nay, somw of the nowspapera that claim to ropresont tho farmer lave discovered that the marauding grasshopvers that havo rocontly stripped hie flolds are attracted thither insomo mvstorious way by tha two lines of iron that vass his farm! Tho railroad-megnates Justly complain of tho reckless fashion of fxing rates oxemplifled in thoPottor 'aw. In the Enst thoy deflautly proclaim that that lnw males it uecestary for thom to own a majority of the Btato Legislaturos, Those priovauces will not grow less by the broodiug over thom. Thoy will apger each party, Thus convietion will havo solid food to foed wupon ; and another esential to a prolongad conflict will be subplied. 1n tho third place, polibioal agitators will fan the flamo, In sovoral States both the Ropublic- an and Democratic partios ara already bidding for tho Grauger vote. This procoss will be gon- eral throughout tho Weut. Iach purty will ogg onthe otbor. Such a tempring mine will be stondily worked by the politicians. Fourthly, the feeling is not local. Itia not confined to snyons State. The whole North- weat iv aflame. Tho almost miraculous growth of tho farmors' orgonizations showod how ripe tho time was for such action. Tuere is no dangor of tho fire’s dying for Iack of fucl. Tifthly, thero 18 a goneral uprising of tho poo- plo agalvst 0l party organization., This will oxert o powerful influonco in promoting the auti- reilroad war, Foritis uatural thas, at sucha timeo of political disintegration, voters should clustor axound a strong, aggrossive organization which proclaima itself to be pro-cminontly tho reprosentative of tho people. Tho Farmors' party maybo oxpected to grow iu strength. Even if ita namo is swallowed up ia that of some mora comprehensive. party, its aima will not be. It will form such sn important portion of that pacty that ils influenco will be felt. Tinally, while tho union of tho fsrmers givos thom strength, tho capital of thoe roads partially atonoa for their luck of umon, Tho money- powor is a tremendous ove. Money will crente influence, and will, if tho worst comes to the worat, buy up tho Logislatures of & dozen States. The partics aro both vory strong, thom, The atruggle botween them will bo a bitter one, If ono law is ovorruled in the cousts of Jast resort, another will bo pesged. There will bo constant strifo until the gprest mass of the people aro thoroughly convineed, one way or the othor, Tho final decision of such a long and oarnest contost is apt to bo an extromo one. In this caso, it mcoma likely that tho raflroads will eventually be elther entirely froed from or en- tiroly aubjected to legislative control. Their managers may convineo the paople that solf-in- terost will keep thoir charges at the proper paint or they may sco tho poople, angered by long quarreling, assuome onbire posscssion of tho ronds, and run thom on their own account, Itis for theso yessons that we bolieve that the rail rond wor has just bogun, and that, no matter which party isin the right, the docislon is nfar oft, MOULTON'S ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES. Tho satemont of Moulton published in Taw TRIVUNE of Saturday was in no sense a roply to Bocehor's statement, for tho renson that it was propared sovoral weeks praviously to bo laid be- foro the Committee, and thon withheld at the Inst momant in the hope of peace. Moulton's atatoment published Aug, 22 was wrltton to bo prasentéd Aug. 8, and of courso was not and could not be an answor to Mr. Boecher's utato- ment of the 16th. Iie statoment having been in the nature of sn offielsl roport of his own conlldontinl rotations with tho parties, ho Is now freoto make b roply fo Mr. Boeccber. While that roply is proparing, he, on Friday last, by express appolntment with our correspondent, Ar, Townsend, gavo froo expression to wnttors which would not have boen appropriate in the original statomont, and also very fully and forcibly commontod on Mr. Bocoher's dofenso, Thoso statoments wore published in yoatorday's TRILONE, making govoral columne, and, as many poraans outsida of Chioago do not have sn op- portunity to resd the Bundsy paper, wo con- deuse tho roport as follows 1 Ar, Moulton explained that jin anawer to an advortsoment for a “boy" e had obtained a eituation in the houso of Woodruff & Robiuson, of Now York; aftor soven years' gorvice ho was admmitted a4 p member of the firm, with whioh o hay boen ever sluco. Tho flem has boen suc- cesstul in buginoess, aud Moulton saids *Y have nover borrowed any monoy iu my lifo, and Lave not boou in want of it. Until I stepped in bo- twoon a class-mate and a libartine prencher, I naver heard tha eplthet of bisokmail applied to atigbady of my aoquaintense' He explaiued that the night ho drow Boocher and Tilton togother was the night ho flrat beard of Tilton's troublo. Ilis foolings wore enlisted for Tilton's clilldron, and ho undortaok to robuild harmony for thalr suko, Ifo stood in no need of the friendsbip of cither, nud had uo ourloslty as to thoir soorotn. Tho roason why ho could not make tho ovidonco acyuit Doecher wes that Beochor waa puilty, Batarohis statement, Boach- ar “was o libortine and a miutstor; ho isnow a larand a sneak.” Moulton statod that Beechor contributed $5,000 to bo used to bulp the Golden Age; and that that was tho only rodooming sot of his during tho wholo affair, “and he now doliborataly swears away that one by charging it to bavo boen blackmail,” A quostion was put an to how Baocher, during tho threo yoars and o Lalf, had oxplained himaolf on the subject of the adultory with Mra, Tilton, snd Moulton's answer Wo give in his own words: Inall his talks on that quention, hio proclaimed that be Aindt sinned boesuso o couli not help it 3 thut ho loved Jlizabeth, avd wa loved by lior; aud that ko could not feol (ho enjoymout of this love to bo asln, Mo saldd that bis wifo had mada his home @ hell, where ho found melther appreciation nor wympnthy ; s0d that #0 drove his relatives and tier own family awsy, Bho wa Jealous ; wrolo Lim anonymous lotters § dlsliked iz popularily, and followod him lke Nemesis, He fouud & pleasant bower at Tiltow's house, whoro he waa proudly and affoctionstely recolvd, Thora he read Lfs ananuacripta oloud to Mra, Tilton ; bad tho Uonefit of her criticism, which on such toplcs was goud; and finally perfect communion of soul aroso between tliens, aud thoy foll 1o tho oarth In tho very exaltation of piety, Beochor said God could not pun- 18k 0 man who led hia domestlo lifs at homo ond waa tomupted by such n comfortor as Elizaboth, He told me {hat they both prayed over thoir si, and wero as- sured that it bad not tha deprecation of Hoaven, This purticular conversation Beecher Lold ying on h's bed. Ho scemod to think that Tilton vever had any origlual wigha In the mutter of Lis wife, who had mnde a mis- olitunce with » uature not spiritual cnough for hor, In Moulton's written statement bo gives sov- oral lovo-lottors written by Mre. 'Filton to Booshor afier thore bad been an agroomont ihat thero should bo no correspondonco; thoso lottors woro dolivered to him by Beochor, and Lo acquitted Boccher of Laving bad auy eocrot cortospondenco with Mrs. Tilton aince the con- fousion, Binco thion, howover, thero have beon found, Iaid away in the copy of tho *'Lifo of Clirist " progented by Baccher to Mra, Tiltan, soveral lotters, written in socrecy to her by Becchor. Theso lottors aro yet to bo published. In onoe of theeo ko tells hor, * God made & vory eweot thing whon Ho mad you.” Speaking of tho Woodbulls, Moulton uaid: ¢ Mrs, Woodhull adinired Tloodore, who did not reciprocate, and Boocher admired Mrs, Woodhull. The public kayo always Led tho wrong ond of this scandul, Boeohor's life was Woodlull's faith.” Moultou thus deicribos Beocher, as o kuew himy Hera fs Tilton, marryiog at 20 & womsn lkes Spanish nu, older than bimsolf, Ifo {a a bold, grow- ing, gifted mian, a product of Plymouth Church.

He advieed his wifo to leave him ; ho coaxed Bowen to duchayge bim ; hio played treactiery after Lix seduo~ tlon of Ellzabeth, and teopesied s carrespondenco with ber, and fnally he salla out Loth Tiiton and myself as blackmallere, and Smputed much of this tohls luwyers In speaking of Beocher's cowardico, Moulton doscribion how Mra. Haoker was silonced, and Liow Beechor approved tho moans by which it was dono,: Sbo (Mra, Tooker) was no crazy woman, buta bolder Beechior than ho, with equalappolits for tha world, I will tell you somothing that will ehow the solfluls depths of Deochor’s charactor, 1ls sister waa ‘worked up on the ddea of tho fatichood of such s lise ea Lier brotier's, and Lad resolatoly resotved to fuvado bis puipit and mako bimaliow hisband, Tillonand myself wero cqually afrald for Tilton's famlly's sake, Bo Mr, Tilton wentono nightto tho housoof Mra, Phielps, in Twenty-third streot, and questioned Mrs, Hooker sa to Ler {nfentfons fu thfs reapoct, Sho do- Elared that she wauld Lning Honry to tho plilory on lis own pulplt, *Then,” sald Mr. Tilton, * I slall, makosu equally authientieated chiargo agulust you, M, Hooker,” and Lo pamed tho connsctlon, Thix stopped Mis, Hookor's mouth. Whon Henry Ward Beecher Lind Lieard that Tilton bad dono thls, b ap- plauded bis decisfon and success, It struck mo with borror that a clorgymun could be willing to have hia own giater charged with adultery in order to cover his ‘persousl shiine, Ar. Moulton stated that Beecher would not truat ouo of tho members of Plymouth Church with tho secrot ; he was roquested to mako a coufidaut of soma of thom, but poremptorily ro~ fused, He would put faith in no one other than Moulton, When Moulton ance suggested to Til- ton that Boechor ought to holp him in tho new paper, Tilton becamo a0 curaged that tha matter was never again mentioned. Deechor knew that Tilton was not aware that any of the funds con- tributed to sustain tho Golden dge came from Boocher.

James W. Paxlduson, of Philadelphis, for forty yoars an Amorican cook, restauratour, sud eatorer to tho gastronomical tnstes of the inhabitanta of the Oity of Brotherly Love, has come forward ag tho champion of hls country, his country's cooks and kitehons, and demonstratod how little an Archduke moy kuow about cooking., Saatoh- fug a fow moments’ loisuro from the ardnons labors of his profession, ho has entered tho liats agalnet hls Imperial antago- nist and come out the victor. Indeed, after resding Mr. Porkingou’s dofonso of Amerl- can dlshos, we foel a just pride in our national cooking, Tho Dukeis no matoh for the cook when the scone of the contest la tho kitohon; #ad Lio faros about a8 woll thors sa Parkinson would before & Rusalrnneodlo-gun,, The Grand Duke bad the reshness tosay thot in Amerlon thore are no Amerlosn cooke and no Amerioan dlatagy Wit o tarsiliy dwaketilng 2o mush Aayo Liad from his Imperisl slumbors whon Parkinson saliled ont of his rostaurant in Philadelplia and appeated in tho pauoply of print, 8 llving Amori- can cook, detormined to convinco Alexls of his ‘oxistonco and the exiatonce of othors like him. Aloxis heas how very good ronson to bollove that thoro aro Amerlean cooks,—at least that thoro is one, Mr. Jamen W. Parkinson, of Phlladelphis, Tho Dako had sald that be frequontly requostod tho propriotors of Amorican hotala to set heforo bim somo poculinrly American dish, But the peou- liarly Amoriean dish wsa never produced. His hosta assured him that tho Amerlcan oulsino was Mk that of France, and that the cooks in all the principal botels wero Fronchmen. Mr. Parkin- son tolls bis Imporial Highness that he wont to tho wrong source for tho information he noeded. What do botal-kespors kuow sbout cooking? Thé proprietors or keopora of Amorican botols aro not cooks, but capitalists. They are mnot men who, lke the koopora of restsurants -in France and Garmany, hove gradaated In thelr profession, who lsave rison tlirough all tho degracs of cook, up to the dignified position of hotel-kesper. Tho qualitios that distinguish thom are nota knowladgo of the virtues of dishos, but a knoyl- odgo of business and remarkablo organizing and oxocutivo ability. Of tho art of cookiug thoy kuow just ae much snd just os lttlo ay bankers, manufocturors, aod other capitatists. Parkinson grants that in most of our great hotols the cook- ing department {s undar tho charge of Freuch cooks,—of such, for the moat part, hawaver, si wore not able to got aloug in the business in theirownconntry, This houays accounts for tho fact that hotol tablea froqueutly prosont such wrotoled faro, while tho tables of wealthy pri- vato gentlomon afford such oxcollout eating. As far as Fronch cooking goes, tha Fronch got the credit of a groat doal that doca not bolong to them ot all. Thoy Lavo a wouderful eapacity for adapting sud appropriating to themselves the diehes of other natious, It is too trequently a wonkuoss of which foreigners aro gullty to givo Fronch names to their dishes, and thas & groat many dishes not Fronch at all come to bo rogarded a8 such. Ouly by s comparison of the dishes of the various nations can their relative morits be sgcortainod, and Mr, Parkinson pro- posos that, at the Centenuial Exposition to take placo in Philsdelpbia, such a comparison should bo instituted. The result, ho predicts, would be that meny of our own beat dishes would bo rapidly introduced to the favor of other nations, “To convince the Russian Grand Duke that he was not rightly informed a8 to the morits of tho American cuisine, Mr. Parkinson displays a bill of faro mode up of American dishes which anght to mako his noble mouth to water when ho thinks what thero ia in ators for him should ho be 6o fortunace &a ovor to visit theas shores agoin, In tho first placo there fs tho Amorican oyster, large, awoes, deliciaus, glorious, unlika its pigmy caricature called by the aame vame in Frence. And then Mr, Parkinson presents {thom prepared in the various ways,—all of which aro peouliarly American,—fried, ronated, stowod, scolloped, panned, bolled, gnddled, and epiced. Next come our American soft-uhell crabs, our turtlos and terrapins, of which Europe lives ta blisaful ignorance. QGaovas-back ducks, the finost gamo in tho world, and our turkoys, eo far suporior to thoso of Europe, follow aftor. Among our fish thera ia the shad, the shoop's ‘hend, rock-fleh, codfab, halibut, brook aud lake trovt. Wild dnok, squab, grouse, qual, reed- bird, plover, prairio<chicken, ,the buftalo, ante- lope, bear, opossum, mountsin sheep, tho rabbit, and woodchuck are montioned as samglos of our gamo, In tho vegotable kingdom, among our spocialtios are tho tomato and the cranborry. In tha regionaf {ce-cream, awootmeats, and dossorts gonorally wo beat tho warld. Nor will tho cham- plon of the Americen cooks aud cooking allow that we afo waniog in originality in our dishes, a8 {3 proved by the New Englaud chowder, our pampkin pies, buckwheat cakes, corn mush, corn-gtarch pudding, White Mountain oske, ‘Whasbilogton cake, otc., ete, It would scem that the cook has made out s good caso againet the aspersions of our Imporial visitor on American cooking. When the mnext nablo Rusaian visita onr country ke will do well to make Mr. Parkinson's reply to the Grand Duke & rads mecum, or guide-book among the intricacies of Amarican coakory. BEECRER AND THE NEW YORE PRES3S, Tho attitude of the Now York press in tho matter of tho Beecher-Tilton scandal has from the very boginuing boen almost unacconntable, Its disregard for facts, howsver, roached the cli- max aftor Moulfon's statement was published, The Now York Tribune, the New York World, and the Now York Sunare agroed that Monlton's story is harmless to Boccher. The Zribune and Sun bint that Moulton is & liar, The position of the Times is to all intonts and porposcs the samo ag that of tho othor above-named jorrnals, The course of tho press in Now York is all the morg remarksble, a3 outside of that city tho majority of tho nowspapors sra op- posed to the theory of Mr. Becohor's innoconce. Why the New Yorlk pross should be thua almost ungnimous on & quostion on which there is so much room for differonce of opinion, is & mat- tor which the country at large is at a Joss to un- doratand. Why the Tribune, Tumes, World, Sun, journals which scarcely over sgreo when there in & posaibility to disagreo, consplre in this in- atanca to seroon Boocher and to deory every one who uttors a word against him, i3 cortainly a sub- ject for aurprise, Genoralty theao papors ropro- sont publio opinion. They sre unanimons only when publio opinfon is unavimous; they are at varlance when publio opinion is st varianco, In tho Boechor-Tilton matter public sentiment m Now York is divided, yob the pross s almost undivided. Wore it thatihe jour- nals above named exprossod thomeolves in doubt a4 to whother Boocher was guilty or not, we might reapect their position, Wo know that what ia nulliolant basls for & roasonablo doubt to ono miud neod nob be to another, That, howover, intho face of all tha evidoncoin this case, in bo foco of Booccher's own utforauces, to sny nothing of any other part of the evidence, all these Now Yark journals shonld feol certain that Boechor {8 innooent, is uttorly beyond our comprehonslon. Doocs the New York pross tako tho same ground as tho Rov. Mr, Halliday, that Boocher should not be ad- judged guilty oven on the testimony of an angel from heaven? Do tho Tridune, Times, World, nod Sun boliova it more provablo that an angel should Yo than that Mr. Beecher should stray from the path of moral rectitude? Do they invest tue Reov. Honry Ward Boeohor with more than Papal infallibility? Do they place him'on & lovel with tha Deity itaslf, and make him out all pure, ail truth, incepable of wrong?

If thoy say that Monltonisa lior, thoir position msy bo tonablo, thongh it s thon inoumbent on them to provoit. But when they say tat tho original letters and documents in Monlton’s posscasion and his testimony, which ia tho only evidonco brought forward in tho case outside the lottors, offer nothing new, tho statoment s slmply ridiewlows. It yo. veals s dopraved bigotry it they aro bouest, snd s atill more dograding con. dition if thoy aro not honost, in tholr exprossions, Wo \mnmfl all tho woro as they can give 0o roason for tho faith that is in thom oxcept that Tilton ja a lar, Moulton & lar, every ono & lisr who docs not beliove tha Beechor i3 » porson of superhuman virtuo, loss Iikely to break the sovonth commandment thau the Angel Gabriol to toll the truth.- Thisisu proposition that cortalnly roquires domonstra- tioa, ‘William J, Oxuer, of Winusboro, 8. ., was a lvver and a drunkard.
