JONE TELEORAMS, : Mr. Morris read a dirpatch from Mr. Boccher to Rtodpath, 11 English, conveying tho informa-~ tion that Clevolaud would moot him at the dopol : that he had beon given a lettor of autliority on s bohalf, sna that ho (Begcher) could not isave until Monday, i at ll.” 3lr.

I do pot.remomber o dispatch belng sout ou the provious nlglm, that Iwould go on {n tha moru- ing with full documentary authority. THIS LLTTEL OF AUTHORITY was banded me when I was gotting into a stage to gotothecars. On thedlstof Decembor, 1878, I severed my councction with the Chrislian Union. I outered into perinership with Iurl- burt & Co., paper msnufacturers, When I entered that firm I offered to supply Ford & Co. with tnaterinl, which was declod. 1 diu not toll Ford that I could ruln the Christian Union, or that I knew tho seerot of Deceheor's relations with Mrs, Tilton, I know Samuel Bolchor. Tho draft of the Commitieo’s roport was (rawn np by Winslow, and then gone over bofore the Com- niftee, Tho witucsses examined woro ngt BWOID, TUE INVESTIOATING COMMITTLE'S REFONT, Mr. Beuch hero asked Shearmnn for the minutes of tho testimony takew by the ntenog- rapher, and the latter Toplied that bLe *wonld seo abont it.” ‘Tho wituesa way handed tho boak of proceed- ingh of_tho Tnvestigating Committee, 1o was pointed to tue part whicht ho was asked it ba ro- memboered. 1o turned around to tho Court and said: ¢ Your Honor, in iy presont state I con~ not analyze the report of tho Commitioe, word by word, and_ I therefore ask tho cousideration of the Conrt.” ‘Thin queetion was ropeated, aud ho nid he did not remowbor it was, Ibavpa racollection about hoaring of a paper shown to Dr, Bloryg, in 1870, saylaz that Tilton's wifo had informed him that Becchor had solicited Mra, Tilton to ba s wifo tolim with all that thas im- plied. Tho Counmnitico did not comsider that Moulton's statement came up nd ovideuce. Ido not rocollect thut tha Committes uked TILE: FOUR LETTERS IN' MOULTON'M STATEMENT in making up ourreport.

Tilton did send a lottor to_tho church May 4. 1874, whon it waa discussed by the Lxamining Comtmittes, but no action was'taken on it. The Court hero took the usual recess, snd Mr. Morris statod that in balf an hour moro he would finish with tho witness, TILTON'S GHARGES AGAINST NEECHE, Aftor tha rocess Mr, Clovelsud resumed the fll'uutL and testitied: Inthe fall of 1874 tho Woat chufiel wero brought to my miud, bad no koowledgo of thom until that year, when I rond of thom iu Tiiton's statomeng.” Thia in tho firat I kuew of the character of them, but Iknow them {na genoral way whoen thoy wero pro- ferved. I undersiood they wera charges against Tilton in » spocific woy, I was presont - when they wore disposed of, and heard the roport of tho' Commuttce road, In tho discussion I Joarved thoy wera charges sgaiust Bowon and Titon of slandering their peetor, 1 undorstood the charges to cousist in #landering tho pastor’s moral cusracter in rola- tion to bis relations with women. I do not know if My Weer was called beforo the Examiniug Committes, but ho was NOT CALLED BEFORE THE INVESTIOATING COM- MITTEE, [~ do not know why Lo was not called, or why I did not suggoeat his namo a8 tho auttior of thone charges. ‘Tho lotter from Arlton of Aug. 3, de- clining to appesr agaln before the Committos, wou sent befora I went to the Whito Mountains, 1 romember Bhoarniau's estd in the Judependend, which was prepared by Shearmau and Tilton to clear tho Iatter from avy charge of asporslons cagl on Lim by the Ilacon letter.

Bacon did s very nnchristian, unmanly thing in Attacking o man in such position. I nrged, so long as it was posaible, that Beecher, f&u\mu. and Tilton should o left to settlo thoir awn privato quarrols; and felt that no one was calldd npon to interfere, oapecially aa such interforence was almost cortain to open the flood-gatea which aro pourlog out this torreut of guostionabls litoraturc, _ Whilo thero wsa & hope o succoss, I did what DMr, Boocher soems to bavo nrged #ll bis friends to do i. o, tried to koop it qu[oLL but, when the oxposure did como, I stiould Lave beon falso to mny anteco- donta if, othor things being oqual, I liad not taken aides with the man who Lad least monoy sud most euomies, Noone doubts that tho best portjon of my life has been devoted to tho sorviee of tuo slave: and thoso friends wlo bavo been most_willing to 1ind excuses for me bave never yet diecovered any prudential roason smounting to the thousandth part of an apologyi 80 that I Liavo loug stood couyioted as o fauatio of the firat order. & In {udqlns man, I look back to thelr record in tho old daya of trlal—in tuat iard-fought buktlo botwaan Jight and Might,—when I was divinely catled to open my mouth for the dumb, to *‘plend the cause of the poor and needy "; when, on the one sldo. there was thocrouching, imbruted slavo, and & fow poor friends; on tho other, the might of this great Government, the alliod ar- wica of Church sud Hiate, Ariny and Navy, Pro- Iatos sud Bloodbounds, Presidents and Virates, Presbytorian Parsons and Vopish Ewmissaries, Boluts and Binnors, Men and Brutes, Iremoin- ber whoun Tiltou entered tho tleld, s young sol= dier, sftor some of tho old leaders bad fsllen § 'and I watclied Lim.
