Tsaw Tilton next botween that timo and the 30th of December, Ou the 26th Tilton uaid he HAD WRIUTEN A LETTER To DRECHER, asking him to explain these charges. At an in- torview after the one on the 26th [learned that tho letter was sont to Beecher, At my toterviow with Beecher, shortly aftor, I told him of tho charger proferred by Bowen to ‘Tilton against him, Teaid to him that I thought Bowen was treacherous to both, Am cortain I never ex- prestod any opinion to Beecher aa to the truth of the stories. Do not think I anid nosthins an to their truth or falsehood. Beecher replied he thought Bowen was treacherous. On tho oc- vasion of this interview l3eccher and I went to the second story. Ido not think £ latchod or locked the door, Wo then wont to Tiltou's house, The witness was asked whether Tilton had told him the stories that were told to Tilton by Rowen, Ex-Judge Fullerton objected, aud tho Court overruled tho objection. Witness anewored that Tilton bad told him somo of tho stories. lio told me Bowen said that he (Tilton) had gone to Winsted, Conn., with a lady, and acted improperly with her. This wasall Tilton told me about the Winsted mat- ter. Tilton did not toll me bow his conduct waa improper, or the name of tho lady, Ho said Bowen stated this was ona lecturing tour, Io did not tet] mo any othor story. Think this waa anterior to Doc, 30, Do not remember when and where ho told mo this. Ho did not tell ma his contracts with Bowen wero threatened untees ho could explain this story. Whon I told Beech- er that Bowon was a treacherous man, I meant toconvey to him that Bowen's stories told to ‘Theodore Tilton were not to be believed. When Left my Louse on the 30th of December, to vix- it Beochor, I waa a friend of ‘Tilton; way not Beecher's oncmy, vor his closo, intimate friend. When Beecher camo ont with mo I PROFFERED HIM MY FRIENDBMIP. I did this without Tilton's consent or knowledge, I saw Tilton again on the morning of the 81st at his house. Do not remember who went with mo. Isaw Mra, Tilton there in her room. ‘Think she was inbed. Do not know whether sho was ill or not. I think sho was sick, Do not remember who was with mo on that occasion in the room, Did not recollect whother I saw Tilton there. On that day I visited Boecher after 7. Ifo was not at home when I called, He came in shortly afterwaid, Had an interview with him in s room in tho second story. I begun the conversation by saying he would think this astrango inter- view. Told bim he had obtained Theodore’s per- miseton to have an interview with his wifo whon ho obtained tho letter of retraction, and eaid bis course was dishonorable, Told him ho came for tho letter of retraction, and ho said thia recauta- tion would be tho only defenso for his family in caso of his attack. He said, with gront sorrow, he had loved Elizabeth Tilton yery much, and through that love for ler had fallen, and not through flesh, {He avowed hie inteution to throw himself on my friendship, as be was on tho brink of & moral Niagara, Mr. Tracy asked bow it happened that on both his direct ‘and cruge-examiuation tho witnore spoke first of Beccher’s roforring to ‘his ex- prevsion towards Mre, Tilton,” and then cor- rected himeelf by saying ‘“scxual expression,” Witners replied that if that was the caso ho had merely dropped a word. 2 Mr. Borris said that tho polished report of tho testimony on thia point in thw direct ox- amination was incorrect, as the notes of the offi- cial roporter would ehow. Mr. Evarts said it was woll npderatood that tho notes of the oflicial stenographer would be ac- copted as superior authority to reports of any newapaper. ‘The answor of witnees on tho dic rectexaminntion could bo easily determined by thene notes, Tho usual recess was hore taken, after which the crows-cxamination was continued, THY RETRACTION Lerten. Mr. Moulton said: Tho lotter of Mrs. Titton asking Mr. Beecher to return hor retraction was directed tome. I have not got the envelope, but esha it was torn off and destroyed. Mr. ‘Tracy auked for the lottor, which Mr. Mortis said ‘was loft in his offico, and ho sent a maesonger for it, Witness continued: I read tho letter of Mrs, Tilton to Mr. Beecher directing the return of tho rotraction letter. After I had tead the letter of explanation from Bir. Tilton I offered to destroy both lotters if he gaya mo tho retraction letter, or keep them both safo, not to bo made public. Imeant to keep them both safe, My idea was that thia should not be mado puolic ‘against Mr. Boocher without his having the recantation letter tomcot thecharges. Imeaut that they should both be prosonted to- Rothor or dentroyed togother. I had no anthori- ty from Tilton to destroy these letters, aud would have done so on my own responatbility, Showed tho icttor of” Mra, Tilton to Mr. Tilton, asking Beechor for tho return of tho fetter of retraction. I put this Topresentation to Beechor without having any authority, I knew from Tilton’s expression to mo that, if tho lettors wero destroyed, he would nover follow np the accusation agalost Boecher, He said that he would save his family from dis- graco at all hazards, Gon. Tracy read the letter asking tho return of tho letters of retraction and confossion, ad- dressed to Moulton, and written by Airs, Tilton, Mr. Boechor and J, continued witness, had no conversation on Doc. 31 with regard to the chargea brought by Bowon againet Thoodore Til- ton, On the evening of Idec. 80, Beecher told mo he sympathized with Bowen, and took sides with him a against Tilton, It was on Jan. 2, at cither his or my house, that Beecher showed mo the draft of the lotter he waa Pproparing to send. to Bowen to correct the expression he had let drop on that occasion, Ou Doc. 91, Beecher told mo that MRE, DEECHPR HAN HEARD SOME STORIES from Mrs, Morae, and sympathized with Mrs. Tilton, but Mra, Boecber sald ahe did not bo- lieve the stories of Mrs, Morso, Was 8 dangerous woman, These rolated to ‘Tilton's Beecher that they should be stopped. do not remember if I assigned any reason why they should be stopped, Tho purport of this conversation was to leave on Beachor's mind the impression that the stories were untrue. I took tha recantation to Theodore Tilton at my house, and read ittohim. Iputthem both in my safe in Now York. Beecher asked mo for the confes- sion, which I gavo him at the timo of tho tri- partite agreomont, and he told me Mrs. Beechor destroyed it. Ilocked up the retraction in the tin box in my houso until the time of my first statement. showed it to you at the time of the Woodhull stories, and’ again locked it up until it was handed to Mr, Morris when the suit began. I did not placo the papor in Mr, Morris’ possossion aa tho counsel of ‘Tilton in this suit. I had beon subpanaed to Produce the lettor of resignation, and understand that it is still mw my possession under the subpans, I MADE TWO STATEMENTS aftor the pablication of Hieecher'a; they wera epared, tho first at Day Viow and the other at owsll. I gavethe papers to Gen, Butler and he made out the statements, Idid not dictate auy of the first statemont to a atonugrapher, but did a portion of the second. Waa present when Gen, Butler dictated tothe stenographer, the facts to Gen. Butlor for the manufacture of the statements, ‘The drafting of tho first state- ment occupied several days. ‘Tlie eocond atate- mené was also in proparation several days. commenced my preparations for the second statement, after the iret. was prepared, were both published in the Grap Tread, rtion of it. Donot recollootif it was pub- ished in anyother paper than the (raphio, Gen, Butler told me that I was criticized by the papers for omitting something in the frat statement, told Tilton of the contents of the first statemont befora it Was published. He aluo saw the second state ment. He read it before its publication, Pree vious to this Tilton had published bis sworn statement and hiv crosa-examination. I did nob road tho tiret statement or second before thoir pabillestioa toany other person but Theodore ‘iton. I permitted Morris to read portion of the second statement bofore it waa publishod. 1 do not remember if this suit was pending when Morris saw the statement, I did not snow it to him = og counsel «of Theo dore Tilton, I did not mako hero stutemouts becausa I tuoucht I was a Party to thls vomtrovérvy, I published the btatemonts because of Beccher’sy attacks upon me. When Geu, Butler was making out statements I as Bho stories infidelity, and I told I gave vo him all tha papers togethor with the lotter from Bra. Tilton estling for retraction, My attention was first callea to the interview bo- tween Baecher and mysolf when I demanded the letter of retraction, bythe Woodbull atatement, I Tearned on the night of Dec. 31 that Bowen had discharged Tilton from the Union and Jn- dependent. I visited Beecher on the night of tho 1ut of January, ahout 7 o'clock. The inter- |, view was in hin siudy, which we entered to- gether, Iwas there about one hour and a half ortwo oars. Tho gas waa lighted when I loft, but was not lighted when I wont there. I do not know whether Beecher or I lit the gas. I think tho gas was lighted in the stroets when I left. ‘Lhe Court then adjourned for the day, RAILROAD NEWS, Steps Toward the Modffication of the Potter Law. Ruinous Effects of Existing Legisla- tion Upon Small Towns, A Receiver for the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw. ONEROUS RAILROAD LAWS, BTEZPS TOWARD MODIFICATION, Tho managers of the Chicago & Northwestern and tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroads hold s meeting yesterday afternoon and conaid- ered what moasures were best to bo taken to convince the members of tho Wisconsin Legisla- ture that tho Potter law neods immediate recon- struction, The mauageras of these two Wiscon- sin trunk lines claim that, if they are compelled to continue to carry freights and paesengers at tho rates provided for by the law, they would be compelled to withdraw alarge number of their trains and substitute old stuck in placo of tho first-class stock now in use. President Keop a short time ago wrote to Goy. Taylor, showing that the esrnings of bis road bad decreaeed about 25 por cent since the aw bay boon enforced. The Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad has prob- ably lost atill moro than the Chicago & North- western. Theso two linca carry cousidorablo throngh freight or olse their loeses would bavo beon still heavier. Most of the local Wisconsin roads have been unable to run against the tide any longor, and have defaulted on the payment of thoir Decomber interest, Consequently suits have bon brought against them and Receivers wil undoubtedly be appointed in a short timc. As far aa can be learned, tho Governor as woll as the Railroad Commissioners are in favor of a modification of tho Jaw, and as public opinion in rogard to railroad laws Las also undergone con- siderable change, there fs every prospect that the Legislature will speedily act in regard to this mattor. EFFECT UPON SMALL TOWNS. Il., Jan. Permit me to assure you that Tox Tninunx, that honored defender of tho public interests, has never put more truth into o few words of prophesy than in ste article of the 14th inet. on Tho Effects of State Railroad Regula- tion in the West," when it saya: ‘ Unless the Legislatures of tho varlows Western Statca speedily mcdify the laws for the regulation of ratlroads passed during the tast two years, thora is ® progpect thst in a short time all ithe smaller local roads will be out of existences.” Living hero on the line of the bankrupt Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louia Road, we koow how it is our- selves, And we not only know that the law has ruined the road, but we feel with all tho forco of approaching poverty that, if the law continues, this sod many other small towns along the lines of this aud other rumed local roads must epeodily share the ruin of the roads which they have mutually built and beon builded by. ‘To bosure, Vermont has another outlet by tho brauch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, but the crippling of ono of our roads doprives us of that corps (ten: which is the life of towns, and which alone has always afforded us marked advantsges over our neighboring towns of | Astoria, Ipavia, and ‘Table Grovo, And it is oxactly this removal of tho opportunity for competition by the weaker roada thet hay pushed them into poverty, bapkruptey, and ruin, They sre, you seo, generally the longer lines to and from tho main points touched by freight aud travel.

For the third uight of the season, “ Faust" was given ton fair audiouce, with Meilbron in the role of Marguerite. As compared with other Gretchous who havo sppoared hore, hor persona- tion differs materially, and this ¢ifforenco is to her credit, as it argues originality ot least. It is not characterized by that dramatio power and intensity of passion with which Lucca, Nilsson, or even Kellogg, givo it. It ia, on tho othor hand, childish aud pretty, rather ¢han womanish and strong, vory gracoful and very beautifut thronghout, but rarely displaying tho lyrical or dramatic trength we have been accustomed to soe, Her singing was very graceful and noat without running to extremes, Not oven tho Jewel wong, which most artists make theiratrong point, forced her out of tho evenness and smoothness of the general ropresoutation. In tho garden music the avweetnoss and graco of her mothod wero esquisite, and lent a peculiar tenderness to the whole scene, Bentratelli’s Naust was in cousonauce with her picture of Marguerite. It was never forcible, but, on the contrary, rather effeminate, soft, and pathetic, Ho was not bold wooor; on tho other band, came yery near being Goethe's Werder instead of hia Faust. His singing, how= ever, was very sinooth, clean, and olfcctive, Viorlni’s Afephisto waa a bold, dasiug plece of action, but his singing of it was bard aud marred by the constant) shake in hia voice. ‘Tho new- comer Lass very powerful, rosouant voice, but at times he forcos it very badly. ‘Tagliapetra's Valentine waa auperb’in every respect.

M'CULLOUGH AS "VIRGINIUS.” John McCullough Tuesday evening repeated his performance of Virginins in the tragedy of that name Ly Bheridan Knowles, and played it for the Inst time in the city at the Academy, The themo of tho drama i, wo suppose, familiar to overy reader, for it {sone of tho standatd stories of echool-boy literature, and has been immortal- ized in onr own tongite in the limpid verse of Lora Macaulay.

Of late years it bus fallen into disuse, for the reason that no act- or has dared to tako up what Forrest laid down, until Mr, McCullough ventured with such success to exhibit bis characters in another mold, It i4 written in blank verre, and moves with the ateru, measured tread which we are apt to ateoviate with the unbend- ing rigor of oman customs.
