A The Washington Monument. It is gratifying to know that after the lapse of more than # quarter of a century, daring which time the monument society have tried many expedients designed to secure the completion of that structnre, that they have at length hit upona plan, simple and comprehensible, having in its formation all the elements of success. Thie is no less than a contingent subscription which pledges subscribers to nothing wutil a sufficient amount has been subscribed to com- ete the work, when one-half the amount is to e called for, and on its receipt the work is to be begun, the remaining half of the subscrip- tion to be paid in two equal installments, at periods of six and twelve months, provided there shall be no suspension of the work when once begun until the capstone is placed on the obelisk. It is proposed again to appeal to the gratitude of the people of the Republic, to all the aseociations, bodies, lodges and basiness corporations for these contingent subscription and it must be confeseed that the form of sab- scription looks something like business. Under it no demand for money can be made until the five hundred thousand Gollars necessary to com- plete the worx have been pledged. This amount Once assured from responsible sources, there Temalus no possible obstacle to the success of the project. The Monument Society are strongly im- pressed with the belief that this last plan, so guarded in its terme, and so simple in its details, is the most practicable of all the schemes yet presented for completing the work. They are de- termined to have that cap-stone placed on the top of 485 feet of obelisk in the next 540 days, and to dedicate the completed structure on the 19th day of October, 1876. To the people of the District of Columbia, eo hberal in all projects tending to beautify and adorn the national capi- tal, the first direct appeal will be made, and in preportion as our societies and secret bodies pledge subscriptions, will the measure of suc- cess allover the courtry be determined. The society feel assured that this Iast appeal will meet a hearty rerponse from the patriotic peo- le of the District, who are the more directly tn- ferested in having our national dishonor speedily obliterated. A good ‘‘send off’ from Washing- ton willinspire confidence and assure success in all the cities of the country. Letthe contin- gent subscriptions, then, be generous, and, moreover, let them be made without delay, Asan evidence of the undeubted success of this plen, we state that although it was only determined upon yesterday afternoon, the mat- ter was simply suggested In Washington Tent, No. 53, Independent Order of Rechabites, last night, and this morning the secretary of the Waerhington National Monument Society re- ceived a communication of which the following copy: WaAseincton Text, No. 53, d INDEPENDENT ORDER OF KixcHaBrTEs, WAsainoton, July 17, 1X4 4 J.

Professor Parkhurst writes to the New York Tribune again as follows: The clear sky Mon- Gay evening gave me an opportunity to test many of my predictions, and, toa certain ex- tent.the theories npon which they were founded. ‘The position of the tatl was wholly to the lettof the stars micron and Sigma of Ursa Major, and still further to the left last evening; 60 that I consider it demonstrated that the computa- tions for curvature are approximately correct. In fact, although the principal part of the car- vature is directly from us, and therefore im- perceptible, a slight curvature was noticed on Monday night by several observers, the con- vexity Being toward the right. As the comet is moving toward the left, this is an important tact; for the curvature is usually seen luke the saat bending backward of a soldier’s plume. evening there was seen a curvatare, sim direction, but less in amount. The k the tailon Monday evening was 20 less than is shown upon the drawing publist in the Tribune of July 4, founded upon the sumption of a straight tail, and somewhat lest than it would have been if I had allowed tor curvature. The visible tail was therefore 12,000,000 miles in length, an increase of one- twelfth each day siuce July 1, correspond- ing with that of Donati’s comet. Allowing a similar increase for the next ten da: the end of the tail will reach 3,000,000 m beyond the earth's orbit on July Last evening the tail was seen to a distance of 4° from the nucleus, but it was after the vu- cleus was below the horiz it the faint ena of the talicould be seen by iteelf, the genera’ phenomena which I predicted in the Tribane of duly 4 from its near epproach would be viel!

The tall er Donati's comet had « breadth when brightest of one-fifth its length. My own esti mate of the breadth of the tail of Coggia’s comet about the 18th instant led me to adopt that as the basis of my computations. Monday even- ing’s observation showed its breadth to be ap- parently a littie more than one-sixth its length. The tail is still lying nearly at right angles with the line of vision, the end of the tail being now at the right angle, and nearer the hoad The breadth, or thickness, of the tail, as nearly as I could measure it, was 1,900.000 miles. The head of the comet is new lost in the twilight and haze of the horizon, having been seen last evening probably for the last time in this hem- isphere. The tail will soon change its aspect It has hitherto been straight and narrow, di- rected toward the ‘pointers’ of the Little Bear. I bave now the means of determining with con- siderable accuracy what its future course and appearance will be.

It is statedthat the eastward train had the rightof way. The westward train should have waited at Borns, the next station to Canaseroga. The wester conductor said that he had a new engineer this morning, and that be instructed him at Barns to pull up at the station and wait for the other train, Instead of which he plunged ahead. The road curves sharply to the east, around a hill, and trains are therefore invisible to each other a hundred yards apart. The crash of the en- gines was the first warning to the passengers.

A member of the investigating committee was asked yetterday if he considered the theory tenable that all of the origin of the scandal was due to Mrs. Tilton’s soliciting advice from Mr. Beecher concerning Mr. Tilton’s actions, which advice Mr. Beecher gave, recommending Mrs. Tilton to leave her hasband, and for which interference Mr. Tilton demanded an apology, and received the well-known letter.

Glatin, District Attorney Winslow, and others of the investigating committee, met lust evening at Mr. Augustus Storrs’ residence, pp , Brooklyn, and continued in session o'clock. Soon after they mot, « m boy rang the door bell. Mr. Angustus Storrs of the committee went to the door aud \eceived anote from Henry Ward Beecher, which had been sent from that gentleman's residence Columbia Heights. ft. Storrs looked at the superscription and dismissed the boy without an answer. At the same time Theodore Tilton was sitting in his study ina dressing down with quilted blue silk trimmings, copying letters into the “full and detatled statement” which he is to make to the committee. A gentleman of the bighest repute in Brook- lyn, and in fact throughout New York state, said authoritatively last evening that Theodore Titton’s ‘document would implicate two ladies besides his own wife in the scandal. After the note from Mr. Beecher was taken before the committee the gentlemen discon- tinued the forma! session, and their host ordered ice cream for them. They left the house later without having taker any testimony. It is said on good authority that Mr. Hi. W. Beecher was to testify before the committee, and the note received by Mr. Storrs was pre- sumably torevoke the appointment and to defer the taking of his testimony until after MR. TILTON’S TESTIMONY ON MONDAY. But few persons knew of Mr. Beecher’s intan- tion to testify, The committee are reported to have urged it upon him, their intention being to receive his testimony and then Mr. Tilton's, as Mr. Moulton sugges in bis statement to the committee on Monday night. Then he said to them emphatically: “It the present iesue is to be settled it must be, in my opinion, by the part selves, either together or separately, be © com- mittee, cach taking the responsibility of hisown utterance. As 1 am fully conversant with the facts and evidence, I shall, as between these parties, if necessary, deem it my duty to state the truth, in order to final settlement, and that the world may be well inform bouncing its jud I theretore suggest to you that parties first be beard; th then you deem it necessary that I should appear before you | wil! do #0, to speck the truth, the whole trath, aud nothing but the truth.” n Mr. Meulgon’s suggestion that Mr. Beecher and Mr. Tilton should settle it between them- telves, the committee at once determined that it was nothing less than @ compromtss, and would not entertain it. After Mr. Beecher and Mr. Tilton both testify, then Mr. Moulton wilt be called on to produce the letter of apology and the information which, as a previous arbi- trator between Mr. Beecher and Mr. Tilton, he obtained, AN IMPORTANT VARIATION TO MRS. TILTO STORY. A special dispatch “to the Onicago Tribune from New York says: The story of Mre. Tilton having made a statement that the trouble had arisen from Beecher’s advice to ber to lei ber husband is scouted as wholly insufficient to explain why Beecher should have logetic letter already published. This of Mrs. Tilton’s has been current in Plymouth Church for a year and a half, with one i: variation. According to the Plymouth version Beecher advised ber not to jeave her husband, but to go home, do her duty ata wife, and trustto time her prayers to bring ber husband back to her. This version, like the new one, is discarded, not so much be- le, but as insufficient to cause it is im 5 ae er’s silence an is apology. ail'tho a explain B Many are of the opinion that after rect charge will be made, even though it not be sustained, that Mr. Beecher insull Mrs. Tilton, and with this will be ily.
