Ho Leaves tho Plain Story of Mrs, Tilton’s Platonic Lovo for Mr. Beecher ; Of Mr. Beecher’s Sinless and Good-Natured Satisfac- tion Thereat ; Of tho Final Lashings of His Con- science and flis Enemies $ Of Mr. ‘Tilton’s Cowardly Jealousy and Unfaltering Envy ; And of His Pact with Moulton to Put tho Great Shepherd’s Light Under a Bushel. THE OUTLOOK, WHAT WILL DE TO-DAY. Special Disnatoh ta The Chicago Tribune, Bnoogtyy, N. ¥., Feb, 7.—Much interost and curlosity await tho reappearance of Evarta and Tilton in Court to-morrow. Thore is a threat to inflict another morning of Shoarman upon onr surfeited pationco, but I question if much moro timo will be wasted by tho defense in proving that Tilton idolized his wife, and that she preferred hor pastor to hor husband, Nor is it nocesasry to convinco tho drowsy jurors that ‘“.Jton’s love-let- tera aro masterpieces of wodded gallantry. Probably an effort will bo mado to oxtract from the witnoss 8 eorivs of admissions that, whilo loving hor, ho noglectod his wifs, and allowod hor wandering affections to settlo, to his gront injury, upon Deocher, Tho excuse for Mrs. Tilton’s orrant dovotiou, it is said, Tilton him- solf will besbown to havo provided. To establish that provision will be tho point, so they report, of to-morrow’a crosa-examination. ‘TUE DEFENSE FORESHADOWED, One of Beechor's frionds—nay, bis principal agent in dealing with tho public—hos issued what tho Fronch would call an official explana tion of tho caso, It is taken from the Plymouth briof, and is virtually an apitomo of thé defense. Tam not responsibly oven for its phraseology, but I guaranteo it to be the authorized tynopais of what Beochor will awear to, and what Evarts will elaborate, Tho defense will be au entire denialof any wrong against Tilton, Inut not of an offense, which Tilton could well afford to condone, in 1870, and which tho world will willingly and gladly pardon now. If Mrs. ‘Tilton is to bo credited, her marriage experience and hor husband's la that of thousands of faml- lies in this country.

Tiis wife lost her youthfal charms, for she bore him many childron boforse the floworof bia lifo had blossomod. “Ho used to say," eays Mrs, Tilton, “ that our appearance io tte stroot together caused ridicule bocauge, he was much tal- lor than I. On ono occasion, whon I joinod him on tho streot, ho angrily said that he would wish, for # thouwand dollara, that I camo up to him, On anothor occasion, at a party, he chargod mo not to come whore he was again during tho evon- ing. Te was not perhaps entirely conscious of the wrong he did her, but be did it all the samo, THE WUSHAND AWAY, THE PRIEST HAS MIs DAY His business as a lecturer took him away frpm homo. A greater man than he had freo access to that home during his absonco. Wo found companionship ina little lady who felt hersolf neglected by hor husband. Sho was tho envy of other women because of the great proachor's manifest proference for hor, fe read manu. seripta of his articles and booke to her, admitted hor excellent taste, consulted her judgment, and —mont delicate and soductive flatiery of all sometimes accepted it, and tho glory was greator because the world did not rocoguize itin the paragraph that was turned as abe ad- vised it to be, or the literary character that wag fashioned or abaded as she had recommended, ‘fo the preachor and author this companionship was vory gratoful, THE UUSDAND FALLS DOWN To STRANGE Gops, Tho husband came to aos this. Ho'was too Proud or too weak to resent it, but he revenged it, ag he could 60 casily, outside his home, The pastor saw that he waa encroaching on the rights of others, but he readily convinced himself that he was injuring nobody, IIe was made to sco, at times, that he did give offcnao, but he was not conscious of any great wrong, The estrangomont botweon the husband. and wife doopened aud widoned. Finally tt oamo to be whispered about that Tilton had formed alliances with othor women, The wife blamed him, but was the blame all hia? The beloy- ed pastor did not way that it was hers. Roporta grew louder of the busband’s infidelity, He was the avowed associate aud companion of women that oven “mon of the worid " avoided as being too notoilous, or ag holding their favors too cheaply. The husband 8008 & atap furthor, and defends the theories of women who seek to dofend thomealvos and others down to their level by endeavoring to whow that women may become prostitutes upon principle. Still the pastor holds that the tronbla is from without and not from within, Tis aympatbiea sll go out to the woman whose home he is balf-consclously breaking up, —his censure to the man whose ruin he is un- thinkipgly accompliahing. Tho pastor gocy as far as to adviso @ separation, Another man's wife loves him. He knows it, but the knowledge issweettohim, The husband knows it, but he is too proud or too weak to resont it, . All at once the wife's consciousness is swakoned, THE FULMINATION. Allat once the husband asserty bimnelf; the -pastor, the friend, tho counselor, the father, is confronted with the ruin he bas brought about. His repentance te exuberant in ite expr sion; CHI! his remorse a9 abroluto as if the worst ‘offense had been committed. Lives are blighted, s horas in shattered. ‘Tilton, with an esaontially wonk naturo, follows np his advantage ; ho argues him- rolf into the belief that ho haa suffered the ex- tromo wrong through his wifo and his friend; ho goads tho ono into tho admission that sho wae at teant tempted and solicited. Io argues himnolf into tho beliof thatthe othor had not solicited and tempted in vain, because thoy both were too close in confidence. Ho insists that thoy both woro guilty of nm fin thoy nevor imaxined, Beecher, having told hisatory with acortain frank, boyish shame, first, becauea he blundored into Mrs. Tilton’s affections, and, second, becauro be Dlundored out of the entanglement ins manner derogatory to his solf-reapect, will leave tho stand as one who, in telling tho whole truth, has not only abstained from sparing himeolf, but ag woll haa charged nothing woreo than insang foaloury to his persecutors. Having showered his coals of fire, ho will RETIRE WITIE AN EMPTY SCUTTLE, and allow ils counsel to supploment what was a generous aud forbearing confession of error, but not au admission of crimo, ‘Lhoy will far- ther show that, on Tilton's joalouny, waited bis desire to supplant Beocher; that, when he found hin opportunity in tho estrangomont of bis wifo aud the boyish simplicity of his pastor, he di- gested it for six months, and then, drawing Moulton into his confidence, onlisted THAT SUNEWD WORLDLING ina conspiracy uot so much against Beechor's purse as against his etaoding in Christendom. That conspiracy ceased to be aggressive only when Beocher burst his bonds and appealod in desperation to bis Committee, Moulton, tho hoathen, was converted to beliove in one god, who should have but one prophot. ‘The god was to be Theodure Tilton; his prophet, Frook Moulton. BLACKMAIL ADANDONED, At first, the defonso contemplated only a charge of mere blackmali—of an attempt to ex- tort mouev—by threatening to submit for tho misconstruction of the world s folly which could casily be oxaggeratod into a orimo, but Evarts saw at onco that to argue Tilton's willinguoss to break up bis homo and oxpel bia wifo from his embrace merely to gain $5,000 from Beechor would be to aubmit a proposition too monstrous for a sane man even to consider. So, at his suggestion, tho basor animus of envy and of a craving to destroy Beecher was assumod os tho inepiration of the attack. DR, BTONNS TO HE AN IMPORTANT WITNESS. Ons of the witnerses who will inflict somo damago upon the theory that Moulton originated all tho suppressive and deceptiyo projects for tho prosorvation of tho triuno secrot will ba the Rev. Dr. Charles Storrs. Ho it wag who, nearly thirty years ago, beld out the right hand of fellowship to Beecher, when he camo here from Indianapolis. Ho it was, twenty- five yonra Iator, at the silver wedding of Plym- outh Church snd Beechor, upon whose neck Beechor fell, and whom Boechor kissod with a fervor that thrilled the rapturous congregation. To him Tilton had early rocourae, with ® hesitating confession of his home's des- olation. To him eocher had recdurse, just bofore that great Congregational Council thundered over tho grave from which its Modorator compelled tho scandal's resurrection, Storrs will present clearly and succinctly tho unwritten history of the bewildor- ng congress, allof which ho saw and of which ho was tho groator part. tract is out ia s good deal of a showor, and, so far, bas put up no umbrolla. Tho stories of his perfidy come polting down from tho witness-chair, and go whizzing up tho atrocts after him liko bailstones, ‘Tho air iy thick with thom, Tnoy say ono of the counts in his indictmont is that he took a train to Lowell and songht out Bon Batlor. Tho “strabismic” attorney from Brooklyn and the “cock-oyed statesman of Essox” hold a squint- ing conforenco over the scandal, the upshot of which conferonco was that Benjamin minor bosought Bonjamin major to soll his friend Moulton into the lands of tho Philistines, At thia timo both the Bons wero confidants of the Mutual Friend, but, though sharimg a common yisual obliquity, Bon- jumin No, 1 did not tako the samo view of tho rolationa of counsel to cliont a8 did Bonjamin No. 9. Ils poremptyrily declined to mako m trado, and ‘racy hurried back to Brooklyn to keop up bis capital imporsonation of a trusty counselor, Moulton nevor heard of the futile oxpedition to Lowoll until Butier told bins of it in Tracy's presonco, ‘Tracy turned a trifle sallowor, and explained hia conduct by a vague allusion totho depth of his frlendship for Moulton, but, shortly before, Moulton bad socrotly fathomoed that friendship and found it just deep enough for Tracy's con- ucienco to drown in. Dovron Syntax. —+—- BEECHERIANA. PLYMOUTH PRAYEN-MEETING—NN, BEEOTER's YOUTIFUL IDEA OF GoD—nRoTHER mooDY, OALLIOPES, AND MOLIAN NANPA, From the New York Hera'd, Fed, 6, Plymouth tecture-room was filled to ovorflow- {ng last evoning. Mr. Beecher was in exuberant spirite, and imparted his hilarity a0 well to the congregation that all presont left tho room with & emile on their countonances. Many times during his talk tho smile bocamo audiblo, and onco camo yery noarly breaking into ap- plause, Mr, Beecher said: ‘I remembor in my youth and boyhood I was brought up in the oxer- cise of reason, and the question of conversion wos the great spirit of church ministry. In all those times [ ramomber tho urgency with which the coming tu Christ was put to mo, and the of- foot it had on mo was that of acertain balf mo- chanical, half oficial operation, My father said ho first proached so as tu intor- est; then, when ho had fully intercst- ed, ho proached to produce serious- ness, aud when ho had produced scrious- ness he preached conviction, and after conyia- on conversion, and thon atter conversion they joined tho church for sanctitication. So I Houghs thoro waa o cortain ordor in the coming ; that I lad got to bo inturested firat, then sorious, then convioted, and thon converted. I got through tho carlost stagos very easy. I wan serious onco a month, and the momout thera was 0 little excitement in the community I was tho first to be found under conviction. I used to feol wicked, I was toldeo. I felt like a kind of lghtuing rod which was expected to bo hit, and it was only God's mercy that 1 was not struck and knocked to pieces. But howto got to Ohriat? Twas told to come just as I was. I waa told to laydown my woapons of rebellion; but I could not precivoly tell what they were, but sup- posed Ihadwome, had rathor an imporfect idea of coming to Obrist. I thought if I could only find the right way—like a puzzle—I could fo just right. So I would try to pray and get into this state of mind and that state of mind, and so I triod to got to Christ 60 I coutd feel tho allp through, whero the difference was; but I did not ud lt, Thal uo Christ prowentad to mo, and if it it was tho official Christ, I nevor got the ides of Chrint as a mother into & child, loviag the child and wauting tho child to love back again, What is moaut by coming to Christ ‘just as [ am’ was tbat Christ did not make the conditions, but it a Berson Lad a ueed ie vould come just on account of ay nocd. If you aro in noed of counsel, but beacause wo nesded Him. ‘ Without Me yo nro nothing.’ Men ntanding outside that hard form ean do nothing. Happore a father should nay toa gon just going inta businnss, * You can- not engineer this business by youreelf ; you will need my help and experianco; come to mo for advico.’ Instead of tint, snpporo ho should pay (straightening fimeelf and drawing hia facedown): ‘domes, iu thie vast business remember you caonot got along without me.’ Ono impreesos you witha sense of self- coneciouuners ; the othor with n xenno of inborn ktudness, The God I preach is tho God that comforts; that I pationt and pentls to those who are stupid, and He has the disposition and tho power to give to every ous that which ho needs, Come frosly and baldiy; plead your- ralf; go with the simple feeiing of trast, hehev- ing that Ho is Father, and wants to doa parent's work for overrbody who wants to bo His child.” Hero Mr. Beecher gayo way for remarks. Brother Whito said: "You epoke of tho great rovival spreading, Now would it not bo bottor if. wo had moro of that kind of preaching? Tam troubled in my worl, and ask for vtvicn, Would it not bo botter if we could get a Moody down to our mission 7" Mr. Beecher said: ''My answor is, uso avery- thing; uso Moody: tso anti-Moodies; uge mén of chormots feoling aul men of little fecling. Agthe fioid yields various grains, go it is in the vineyard of God; and an to Mr, Mondy— who 18 built about & fect oue way und 15 feet tue other—ho is au onormous engine. ho generates more eteaminoday than you can iu ea week, {Laughter.] You remember tho cal:iopes which played tunos by steam, they weut up and down tbe harbor shricking out ‘Home, Sweet Ifome,’ and suppose I.bad an Zollan barp(and Idid pos- Reva n little one abgut that timo), and I ahould Retitiu my window some night, and when it gavo out its low, swoot music, anppoao I whontd give it a kick and eay, * Why don't you eliziek it out like thocalliopo?

A LITTLE NOW AMONG THE Lawytns, Prom the New York Sun, Frb, b, Tho junior counsel, ae the day's work was closing, jomned in ao little aparring that had the firo of simon-puro anger in it, Mr. Evarte asked for tho love-lettors of the Tilton family, in order to arrange thom over muht. Mr. Morris said that he would give them the assorted lettera in tho morning, and could not give them boonor. Io turned to Mr. Sbhoarman, who hast three or four of Mrs, Tiltou’s letters in his hand, inaking notes of them on a memorundum-pad and said, ‘Let mo havo thonslottera back,” Mr, Shearman said, “No; wo will keop them over night.” Mr. Morris rojoined, sharply. “You haveno right to keep them." "I don't seo it.” responded Mr, Shearman, holding fast to tho letters, “You sha'n't take them away,” said Morris. ‘Well, by God!" muttered Gen. Tracy. Mr. Evarta soured oi] on the troubied waters by taking the otters, passing them up to Tilton, haying them identified ond marked as exhibits. ‘hen he Pasuod the letters back to Morris, TILTON'’S SERVICE TO BERCIER'S BON. ‘The servico that Mr. Tilton did for Mr. Beech- er's son twas dono for Col, Honry B.

IN NEW ORLEANS LAST NIONT. Special Dispatch to The Chicagn Tribune, New Ontzans, Feb, 7—11:05 p. m,—Tho prin- ciple topic of discussion to-day among all classes of poopte has been the proposed comprumise, particulars of which wero transmitted laxt night. The uituation ia poculiar. Ou the 4th of January, when Gon. De Trobrinnd's: soldiera removed thoss Democrats from the floor of tho Houses, who wero illegally acting aa members, and aftor Vigers, tho Clerk, had commenced calling tho roll, tho Democrats ail withdrew, Two Domo- crats, however, had answered to the call before Mr. Wiltz called on tho Democrata to retire, ‘Ehis roll!-call, counting the two Domo- rats who had responded, showed fifty-four mom- beas—s quorum—presont. ‘Tho roll was not called, Subsequently during tho day throemom- bers from patiehes not paseed upon by the Ro- turning Board wore admittod by acclamation, af- ter Henry Haba had been olected Speaker in tho samo manner, ‘Thus the Houso adjourned with Sqnorum, and has boon transacting business ever since, although no Jaw has been finally passed and promutgated. Tho Domocrata have contended from the first that the House wax not logally organized, that there was no quorum presont when Ilabn was cloctod Sneaker, and that tho acta of the Legislature will be null and void. They aro powerlosa to organize as Logislature themselves, Howover, kuowing that they would bo immediately dis- persed, 60 thoy concluded, if it were possible, to compromiso themselves by making a reg- ular contest for seats in tho | House au it is now organizod, on condition that it should bo undorstood befdrahand that their contostants should be seated—ouly auch Democrats to cou- test asthe Cougressional Committco, after in- veutigation, should consider entitled to acate, Further, thoy wero to recognize Kellogg aa Qoy- eruor, by according him all logitimate support, binding thomeclvea not to attempt to impeach im nor inquire into tho tegality of is past oficial acts, These admissiona, it will bo seon atonce, aro FATAL TO THE CONSISTENCY OF THE DEMOCRATIO PARTY. The division of the Democratic mombers and thoso whoclaimod to be mombers on the proposi- tion submitted to thom by Judgo Whoelor showed that those from New Orloaue genorally opposed it and those from the country favored it, Tho vote stood 38 in favor, of which 82 wero country mombors, and 27 opposed, of which 17 woro city mombors, ‘Tho reason for thia is that the City Governmont Is ia the lands of tho Democratic party, and, consequontly, that party has control of tha patronage and goneral policy. Iucouutry parishes the police and ju- riesaro all Ropublican, and the Democrats bo- lieve that, if they ara in the Legislature, thoy can control appointments, and they no doubt can, Tho fight betweon tha city end the country iganold one, Tho country nocda tegislation in ity interest very badly, aud to accomplish it momberg must occupy their oats in tho Legislature.
