Col, Beecher, Henry Ward’s cldost. 800, said yeaterday that his father would ccr- talnly be at home in time for tho Friday even- Ing prayer-meeting. When asked for a copy of the letter sent to his father on Tucsday, {n be- half of Mrs. Tilton, informing him she 1AD XOT INTENDED 7O PUDLISK TilE CONPRS~ SION until ho had been given twenty-four houra’ notice, Col. Beccher sald such a letter had been re- ccived, but ho had turned it over to Mr. Shear- man. The letter, ho sald, was not written by Mrs. Tiiton herself, but he would not divulge the name of the person who did writo ft. Mr. Bhearman was applicd to, and questioned fn ro- gard (o tho letter, and also concermng tho one written by Mrs, Tliton to Mrs. Raymond, as well as thoso sald to havo been written by MRS. MONSH TO MR, BEECHER after ho had refused to accede to her demand for moncy for tho support of*Mrs. Tilton, When asked if any such demands had beon made, Mr.’8hearman unhesitatingly . REFLIED IN TIN APPINMATIVE. They wero rcfused, ho sald, and Mra, Morso then wrote to Beecher in regard to the matter, ‘Theso letters were not in his possession, but he presumed Mr. Beecher had been sensible onough to preservo them. In regard to tho letter written by Mrs. Tliton to Mrs. Raymond, in which she had mado the same con- fesston of guilt as that contained fu the published statement, Mr, Shearman said the document was {n his possession, but it was a private letter written to a lady, and be did not feel at lberty to make it public without that lady’s consent. There were portions of it referring to personal matters of no public con- cern, and other portlons {u the nature of con- dolence with Mrs, Raymond for recent bereave- meuts, which it would be Improper to make public, and which would give ncedlcss pain to Mrs, Raymond, X AS TO THE LETTER FIOM MRS, TILTOX'S FRIEND to Mr. Beecher, apologizing for tho prematuro vublication of the confessfon, Mr. 8hearman confirmed what Col. Beecher had satd about ft, sod sdmitted it was In hus possession for safe- keeping unti! Mr. Beccher's return. Ho sald also tho letter had undoubtedly been author- tzed by Mrs. 'Lllton, Another of his friends had called at Mr. Beocher's house before the letter arrived there, and had {nformed the family that such a letter bad been writton, and that it was genulne, she having seen it sigmed.

In 1y last Jester 1 spoke of the outbrak of spiall-pox here, and of the numcrous deaths, espectally amongat Qe refuvees, which bad d aud were durring from it. In addi- tion to this terrible discase, typhus fever is now raging, as well as an epldeinic amongst horses, cattle, and sheep. No sanitary measures what- ever are taken; horscs aud cattlo are allowed to semain whero they fall dead or dyfug In the otrects. Last cvening I saw the body of a young colt 1n the roadway, two or three yards fromn the dour of the Britlsh Consulate. Within a couple of hundred yards of the house where I am writ- lug is the old city gate, ou the road leadive from hicre to the fortitications, The gateway, aud for sume yards thoe road beyond, is blocked up with the carcasscs animals,—horses, cows, snd sbeep. Thero are, howe uot wany of thy last to bo scep, as tho discase is coutlned in woet part o borses and cattic. Along the sca- sborp borderfuiz tho town tho sawme state of thiogs cxists, and it would be no exageration 1o say that the ahore bs literally lived with the carcasses of auimals lett there to rot n tho sun, or 10 bs washed away, a8 the caso may be,—the Turks care wos which; *suthicient unto the dav? is thelr motto. If Gallipoll bo little better tban a botbed of discase of wl kiuds, uow that the nights are cold and sowctlmes frosty gud there is but littlo heat frow the suu duriog the day, what will it he two montha hence? The suthoritics are the more to be coudemned for allowing such an unhealthy state of things to cxist, berause of the fact that any amount of labor can be ohtained for a very trifiing outlay. Tha town is overrun with refuzees who would be_only too wilting to work for a plastre or two a day, even though the work be not of the most pleasant kind. The carcasees of animals In the town and in the environs of Gallipuli can be reckoned by hundreds, but I venture to say that for a very trifling ezicnse the whole of ‘thein could bo put wuderground in three davs, bear- iug in 1nind tnat there are 5,000 families of ref- ugcees here, and that at least 4,000 able-bodied men out of that number could be found to do the work. But no; tho apathy of the Turkiah officlal knows no bounds. if a Turk's house were on fire, 1 belleve he would almost 2o su for a8 to move from ona room to another as the flames spread, and only when ther reached the last room would he bethink lnmeell of sending for the firc-cngine. ‘The fllustration may be au exaggeratcd one: but when we think of the fate which awaits the population of Gallfpoli durng the summer months from pestilence of every kind, in consequence of sheer neglect now on the part of the authorities to remove the seeas of this pestilence—that Is, the festering corpses Iying on the ontskirts of the town—the uet- apborical llustration ot ‘turkish apathy Is not l(l) exaggerated as it would appearat the first glance. As I am writing T hear that, on account of strong representations made by the Europe residents in (allipoli, the authorities have 1t morning commenced the so-called work of bury- fog the dead bodles, I have rent my dragoman out to sec how this work isbelng performed, and he reports that a trench of ahout six or cight inches deepis digged, the carcnsses being thrown into this trench and a sprink!ing of carth strew- ed over them. The dogs are hard ut work un- covering the dfsgusting rcmains, and before night the bodies will he as much cxposed to view as they wercenrly this morning, This is what the Turks call taking measures in con- eequence of comolaints made to thewn by the European fnhabitants of Gallipoll, and doubt- less sume offical or other will nake moory out of the arrangement. It would be uscless to convince a Turk that it Is necessary to tuke nre- ventive measurcs, He will reply, “If Allah Bces fit to send us n sickhess, it would bo o sin to try aud evade it."

LITTLE LOPE OF FEACK. 1By Cablefo The Chicago Tridune.| Lospos, April 18—6 a, m.—Tho dispateh of native troops from India to Malta is one of the most ominous steps yet taken by the Government. It is claimed tobeonly n procautionary measure, but thero ia me doubt that Europe will rogard it as A DIRECT MENACE TO BUSSIE. Tho number of troops is insignificant,-— sbout 7,000,—but it is on that account ridic- ulons to call tho:movemont precautionary. No alarm would have beon created had 7,000 English troops been sent there, for, in the present situation, it would be not unreason. ablo that n strong forco should be held in readiness at Malta, THE BIGNIFIOANCE OF THIS ONDER consists in the fact that only native troops aro to go. It is equivalent to a notification to Russia that Englaud is ablo and resdy to draw a large army from her Indian depond- encies for nctive operations in Europe. ~ Not only does England thus boast of hereapacity to meet the Russians with nearly an equal force in Europe, but she MARYS LIGIT OF IUSSIA'S DESIGNA UPON INDIA. This movement of Iudian troops is undoubt- edly one of those steps which Lord Derby eaid hind been tho principal cause of his ros- iguation, and it is very significant that such decisiveo action should have been kept sscret until Parlinment was no longer sitting. AUMED VEFYE PASIA, Turkish Prime Minister, hna at last resigned, though no appointment to his placo has been made, o is England's warmest friend in the Turkish Government, and, should hig rotirement be final, it is probable that Rus- sinn influence will hereaftor be paramount in Coustantinople.
