Claims to Have Evi- dence in Support of the Chargas. Tracy, of the Committee, Eenounces Moulton for Divulging the - Matter. The WWoman in Question Will Deny the Allegation. Special Dispatch to The Chicapo Tribune. New Yonx, Sept. 12.—Moulton's new state- ment was gonerally read with extremo disfavor ‘more on account of the bumilisting attitndes in which be paints himself ws acting in Beecher's behalf, than for any failure to establish his chinrges agaiost Beocher. His voluntary intro- duction of Lis own wifo 28 & witness in the val- gar matter, and his introduction of charges which INYOLYE MISS EDXA DEAN PROCTOR, are condemned gonerally as outrages. The ‘lat- ter charge has elicited the most comment of an unfavorable character, and the lady lersclf has prepared a card for publicatton in which sho will aeny Moulton's allegations and tho inforences drawn from her jus- tificstion of Beecher. It appears that Moulton had made threats of prodacing this documont beforo writing his final statement, and Charles Storrs, s brother of the Committeeman, ealled upon him and explained the facts in the matter. Miss Proctor has resided for along time in Mr, Storra® family, snd ho constitutes himeelf & sort of gusrdian for her. He gave Moulton notice thst if Miss Proctor's namu was introduced in the controversy an indictmet of elander would be immedintely followed, as the District-Attorney of Kings County, in which Moulton resides, is Winslow of the Investigating Committce. This would not bo o difficult thing to do. DMoulton avoided sny such trouble by omitting tho Ilady's name, but the Brooklyn papers to-dsy show no such dslicacy, by discuss the new puase of tue scandal upreservedly. Itis claimed by S. D. Morei, Lilton's coudsel, aad formerly Moultun's, BEECTER MADE THE SAME CONFESSION regarding this person to other persons than oulton, and that, in the event of any trial in the courts, these witnesses will appear. Morria says from evidenco in his possesrion hois satis- tied there have been two Henry Ward Beechers living 10 Brooklyn, ouo the meat sensational preacher, the other a most gross and shameless Iibertine. Morris goca all lengtbs for his client, and makes his cause his own, 80 that these are held to be exprosaions of his feelings ratherthan of his judgment. WHAT TRACT SAYS, Benjamin F. Tracr, the lawver of the Com- mittee, to-day spoice of ihe allegations involving Miss Froctor, in unmeasured terms. He said, with refcrence to the introduction of the story and letter, thatitause by Aoulton was one of ‘tho most atrocions and dsmuing outrages tlat he bay over known to bo perpetintod. Lhe lady reforred to had & business difficulty with Mr. Baecher fourtcen years ago, and ont of that dif- ticulty there was a very sharp and angry corre- spoudence on her part with Mr. Beecher. Bhe spoke harehly and severely of him toothers, tober friends, but Mr. Beecher'a lettews showed that e had misapprebended his nction, and white suo'accepted kis explanations and resumed friend- 15 relationa withbim, shonever quita feli that she had not been wronged in that matter. This note, which is now published, rolates to that watter, and to that only, aud was a simple state- ment that sho entertainod fourteen years aftor- ward (when_the note was written) no barsh or unkind feolings toward Mr. Boocher growing out of that transaction. The mote itself clearly shows that it could bave no refercnco to ‘euch transaction a8 it is _now bronght forward for, and usied by Mr. Moulton. Mr. Beecher turned this lady's private letters, with others, over to Mr. Moulton for safe-keeping, and now Moulton at- tempts to wrest it from its true meaning, aud to make it evidenco to prove a transaciion which never existed, and which never haa any founda- tion in fact. NO IMPEOPER NELATIONS ever existed between this lady and Mr. Beecher, s0d they were never on even espacially mtinute terms. The friends of this lady, some daya ago, bearing of tbe uso Mr. Moulton was about to make of this letter, cansed to bo made 0 bim a full ecxplapation of its meaniog. and Mr. Beccher's correspondence, which occurred fourteen vears ago, relating to this mattor, and fully explaining it, wasshown to Mr. Moulton’s intimato and confidential fiiend, and the injustice and outrage of such use as is now made of that noto was clearly pointed out to Inm. That this information was conveyed to loulton, and that he fuliy understood it,Lis own statement clearly sbows, because ho refers to efforts of his friends to save hor from this great outrago, and it is thought that he know and un- derstood the facts. THE TENNESSLEE OUTRAGES. Intervicw with Onec of the Escaped Negroes, Meatpis, Tenn., Sept. 12.—The examination of the alleged Ku-Klux from Gibson County was postponed until Monday. Amoog the prisoners are J. P. Hailo, who bad a row with the negroes at a barbacue, about payiog for a shoat which he had bought, and Monroo Morgan, and J. F. Waraer, two young men who were fired upon by the negroes, near Picketville, which led to tho arrest of the negroes who wero taken from the Trenton Jail. The Atalanche reporter had an interview with Dug Jamison, the negro who escaped from the mob. Ho admits being present when Morgan and Warren wero fired on, aud that the_ncgroes hod assemblod for the purpose of killing a colored man pamed Butier, and whipping an- other, but that he was then in the intercst of peace. Ho was reticent in regard to his beiog taken from jail. e says that he escaped by jumping into & creok, and that Nelson and Mc- Goe also escaped. WASHINGTON.

C., Sept. 12.—The Grand Jary have finally concluded tueir labors on the safe- burglary case, Which threatened a¢ one time to be interminable.

Upon these, indictments will be forthwith drawn up. Bentonand Wil- liams, alias Bliss, wore presented for burglary. PROPOSED RECONSTRUCTION. In purensnce of the programme mentioned in these dispatcbes last night, the Repubtican of to-day contains an article of over two columne regarding the National Convention, as vroposed by the New York Herald. The Republican is Graot's home organ. It combats the views of the Herald to_some extent =8 totke treatment that the South bas received, denying that her case is at all analagous to that of Poland or of France under the conditions imposed by the German Empire after the late war. In conclu- sion, however, tho Repubiican sdmita that tnere may be wigdom in tho snggestion, and intimates that it will indorse the propo: It con- cindes as follows : We conquered tne South, but_we did not conince ber that we were right and she wrong. 1f & national conventien of peacs and reconstruction loarn the lussean, by all means let it be held, 1on. help her It will do Do harm, and may do good. But let us not go into it with the Idea that the South has been treated e the Huns trerted aoclent Rome, 15 the Ceears their defeated foemen, for that would ba a falsification of bistory, and in thie end only sdd to the heart-burning and the strife and animosity of the time. Lot us en- ter it with the understanding that periaps neltner #ido is wholly right nor wholly wrong; that there are dutics to be performed by the one party and the other, 1o tho end that peace may prevail and the Gnion e ‘made secure forever.
