SinGuLaR TESTIMONY IN THE SAFB BuR- GLany Case.—There was some important evi- dence presented to-day to the grand jury in the safe herd. ant matter.

Unless indictments are found by Wednesday they cannot be prese nted until the September term of the court. Mr. Riddle is pressing the investigation with great energy and thoroughness.— Washington dispatch, 20h. TLe Vicksburg Trouble U.S. TROOPS ORDERED THERE TO KaEr TH PRACE. A second d’spatch was received yester- day afternoon from Lieut. Gov.(and acting gov- ernor) Davis, of Miss., calling for troops under s-ction 4 of the 4th article of the constitution to prevent domestic violence in Vicksburg. He states that some time ago Gov. Ames directed the militia organizations in that city to turn over their arms at the state arsenal, which was refused; that under the present organization of the militia he is unable to quell any disturbance which may arise, and hence seeks the protec- tion of the United States,as the militia in Vicks- burg baye made threats of violence on election day, which occurs on the 4th of August. In the absence of the President the dispatch was re- ferred tothe Secretary of War, who, through General Sherman, directed that orders be issued to Gen. McDowell, commanding the department of the south, to send two companies of troops from Holly Springs to Mecrsmeg The dispatch was telegraphed to President Grant, at Long Branch, together with the action of the Secre- tary. It is expected the President will contirm the same sometime during the day. THE ORDER FOR TROOPS COUNTERMANDED To-pay. The acting governor of Mississippi telegraphs the Secretary of War to-day that he wil! for- ward at oncé @ full statement of the difficulties which in his opinion necessitated the demands for United States troops made by him yester- day. A ines number of prominent citizens of Vicksburg, including the mayor of the city and the postmaster, have united im_ protesting against the action of Gov. Davis in making a demand for federal troops. They claim that there fs nothing to justify such demand. The protest was received by the Secretary of War this morning and at once forwarded tothe Pres- ident, at Patterson, N. J. The President tele- aphed last night his approval of the action of the Secretary of War in sending troops to Vicksburg, and requested that all dispatches on the subject be forwarded to him at Long Branch, &nd also authorized the Secretary of War to use his discretion in the matter. The Secret: this morning on the receipt of the protest against the action of Gov. Davis, at once directed Gen. Sherman to countermand the order issued yesterday directing Gen. Mc- Dowell to send troops to Vicksburg. Conse- quently Gov. Davis will be left for the present to settle the disturbances as best he can. The Philadelphia Child Stealers. ANOTHER TAREATNING LUTTER. The Philadelphia detectives appear to have suspended active operations in the abduction case for the present, as they were noticed more frequently in snd about headquarters yester- ‘They are evidently planning a new move, but what it will be remains tobe seen. Mr. Koss, the father of the child, has received another letter, in which the abductor states that it he does not come to the front with the money demanded, as per arrangements made in a pre- vious letter, they will abandon ail farther com- munication with him. It now turns out that the strong evidence against Woos‘er was the fact that he had a knowledge of or was con- cerned ina plot to abduct the son ofa promi- nent and wealthy merchant here, but the age of then child, which was nine years, prevented the plans from being put into execution. Wooster is stil! in fail. PLAN OF THE MISCREANTS POR RECEIVING THE MONEY AND AVOIDING ARREST. The New York Herald’s Philadelphia cor- respondent saysa letter was received by Mr. Koss on Thursday in regard to the place where negotiations for the retarn of the boy may be held. The place selected by the kidnappers for their negotiations is lonely bridge in the ex- treme northern portion of the country, and the hour at which the business isto be transacted, if transacted at all, is set down at about mid- night. The bridge is surrounded on all sides by 4 flat and open country, so that one standing upon the abutment could witness an approach ‘rem any direction. The plan states that Mr. Koss must come to this bridge with the money. While en route for the designated point, and before he arrives at it, he will be met by a man who will step before him and say:** Good evening, sir,” To this Mr. must render animmediate reply, and then pass on towards the brilze. Before he reaches the bridge a second man will spproach him im the same manner as the first, and say: “Mr. Ross, how do you do?” ‘To this Mr. Ross must atso’ render an appropriate ro- ply, when he will reach the bridge, and there méet athird man, who will ask the following juestion: “Mr, Ross, have you got that?” After Mr. Ross has paid the money there will be a slight delay, but ina few minates he is promised hat bis little oue, Charlie, will be delivered over. The robbers evade all possibility of detection by the following conditions: the three will be armed and in disguise. If Mr. Ross de come alone, or if a single soul is seen lu anywhere in the neighborhood, the kidaapy will fail to keep their appointment. PoLiticaL Notzs.—Congressman Henry 1. Pierce of Boston says he doesn't wish to run a= he republican candidate for governor of Maseachusetts, but he does want to go back to Congress. Congressman James S. Smart of the 16th New York district has declined to be a cand! iate for renomination. His withdrawal, it is thought, will tend to harmonize the hostile factions of tue republican party in his district. the democratic estate committee of Iiinots will hold a consultation in Chicago on W. day, for the purpose of deciding the questo calling a state convention.

Sworn Statement of Theodore Tilt Direct Charges of Gallt Theodore Tilton appeared before the Beecher investigating committee on Monday night, and submitted sworn statements, which are printed below. In an accompanying letter he explains the reasons which prompted him to take the course he has. Hesays:—Of all menin Piym- outh church, or in the world, the Key. Henry Ward Beecher was the one wn who was best tnformed concerning his offense and apology, and the one man.who least needed to inquire nto either. Nevertheless, while amng & perfect knowledge of both these acts done b himeelf, be has chosen to pat on a public at fectation of ignorance and innocence concern- ng them, and has conspicuously appointed a committee of the ablest men of his church, to- gether with two attorneys, to inquire into what he leaves you to regard as the uuaccountable mystery of this offense and apology. as if he id neither committed the one nor offered the ther, but as it both were the mere figments of another man’s imagination, thus adroitly prompting the public to draw the deduction that I am a person under some hallucination or delusion, living in a dream and forging a fraud. This desperate man must hold himself only, and not me, accountable for the wretchedness which these disclosures will carry to his own home and hearth, as they have already brought to mine. I will add that the original docaments referred to in the ensuing sworn statement are for the most part in my possession, but tnat the apol- ogy and a few other papers are in the hands of Mr. Francis D. Moulton. Mr. Tilton’s Sworn Statement. Woereas the Key. Henry Ward Beecher bas instigated the appointment of a committee oon- sisting of six members of his church and society to inquire into and report upon alleged asper- sions upon his character by Theodore Tilton; and whereas Mrs. Elizabeth K. Tilton, former- ly the wife of Mr. Tilton, has openly deserted her home in order to co. perate with Mr. Beecher in &@ conspiracy to overthrow the credibility and as Teputeof her late husband as a man and tizen: Therefore, Theodore Tilton, being thus thorized and required by the published demand made upon him by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and being ow and hereafcer released pe Scena of Mrs. Tilton from fartmer responsi- bility for concealment of the truth touching her relations with Mr. Beecher, therefore Theodore Tilton hereby sets forth under solemn oath the following facts and testimony: THE CHARGES DIRECT. Firs!.—That on the second of October, 1855, Plymouth church, Brooklyn, @ marriage be- tween Theodore Tilton and Elizabeth M. Kich- ards was performed by the Key. Henry Ward Beecher, which marriage thirteen years after- wards was dishonored and violated by this cler- gyman through the criminal seduction of this wife and er hereivafter set forth. Second.—That for @ period of abont fifteen years, extending both before and after this mar- tisge, an intimate a existed between Theodore Tilton and the Key. Henry Ward Beecher, which friendship was cemented to «ach a degree that in consequence thereof the sabse- quent dishonoring by Mr. Becher of his friend's wife wasacrime of uncommon wrongfullaos and perfidy. Tiard.—That abont nine years Henry Ward Beecher began and continued a friendship with Mrs. Elizabeth K. Tilton, for whose native delicacy and extreme religious sensibility he afterwards expressed to her husband a high admiretion; visiting her for years, until the images 130, when, for reasons hereinafter stated, he ceased such visits; during which period, by many tokens and attentions, he won the affection and love of Mrs. Tilton, whereby, after a long moral resistance by her and after repeated assaults by him upon her mind with inom regery 3 arguments, accom plished the ion of her person, maintain- ng With ber thenceforward, during the period hereafter stated, the relation calied crimina! intercourse; this relation being regarded by her during that’ period as not criminal or morally “rong, such hed been the power of his argr ments asa clergyman to satisiy ber religions scruples against such violation of virtue and bonor. F the Rev. thereafter th—That on the evening of October 10, 1868, or thereabouts, Mrs. Elizabeth I. Tilton heidan interview with the Rev. Houry Ward Beecher, at his residence, abe being then in a of mind, owing to the recent de f a young chik ave isboner, the «motive on her part being, as herelubefore stated not regarded by her at the time criminal wrong, which act was fullowed by a sumiu of crimimalty between these same parties Mr. Tilton’s residence during a pastoral visi vad by Mr. Beecher to her on the subsequent Saturday evening, tollowed also by other simi- jar acts On various Occasioms, for the autumn of 1868 to the spring of 1870, the places being the two residences aforessid, and occasionally other places to which her pastor would invite and ac- company ber, or st which he would meet her by previous appointment; the acts of wrong being on ber part from first to last not wanton or oon- <clously wicked, bat arising through a blinding of Ler moral perceptions, occasioned by the powerful influence exerted on her mind at th ume to thisend by the Kev. Heury Ward Besc! er as her trusted religious preceptor and guide Fifth —That the pastoral visits made by the Rev. Henry Ward Leecher to Mrs. Titton dar- ing the year 1563 became so frequent as to ex- cite comment, beingin marked contrast with uisknown habit of making few pastoral calls on his parishioners, which frequency in Mrs. Tilton’s case is shown in letters written to her husband during his absence in the west, these letters giving evidence that during 8 periol of ‘ve or six weeks twelve diferent pastoral calls on Mrs. Tilton were made by the Key. Henry War’ Beecher. which calls became noticeably infrequent on Mr. Tilton’s return to his home. Fizth.—That previous to the aforesaid erimi- nal intimacy, one of the reasons which Mrs. Tilton — for the encouragement of such exceptional attentions from the Kev. Henry Ward Beecher, was the fact that she had been much distressed with ramors against his moral purity, and wished to convince Lim that she could receive bis kindness and yet resist his so. sicitations, and that she could inspire in him, by her purity aud fidelity, an increased respect tor the chaste dignity of womanhood. Previous tothe autumn of 1868 she maintained with Christian firmness towards her pastor this posi ‘tion of resistance iways refasing his amorous pleas, which werestroug and oft repeated, and in a letter to her bueb: , Gated Fobraary 3 1808, she wrote as follows: “To love is praise- worthy, but to abuse the gift issin. H strong. No demonstrations or could cause me to yicld my womanhood. Seventh_That the first suspicion which cressed the mind of Theodore Tilton that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was abusing or might abuse the affections and reverence which Mrs. Tiltor bore towards her pastor was an improper ess given by Mr. Beecher to Mr. Tilton while seated by ber side on the four of his library, overlooking eogravings. Mr. Tilton few hours afterwards asked of his wife an ex planation of her permission of such a liverty, wherest she at first denied the fact, but then ie 8 explanation, which, from the confidence reposed in her by her bi band, was by bim Gocted satisfactory. = ‘THE CONFESSION. i ef ft iy i i : i if ay | : Hl i Hi : 5 i et i | ‘ i | ‘ i i : i H 5 i i : i Sa Fepeetedly a ino was ~~ gh - ‘She further stated that her sexual commerce with bim bad never from low or vai- gar thoughts either on her partor his, bat al- any other woman, and she felt just! fed before God in her intimacy with him, save the necessary deceit which accompanied it, and St which she frequently suffered in Ninth.—That after the above-named confes irs. Elinsbeth R. Tilton, she hed re- the cow to await such action by ber busband as he might sec fit to take. where: agen, after many considerations, the chief! of which was that she had not vol z,eone astray, but had been artfally misled throagh for the Kev. Henry Ward ritual guide, together also from a desire to protect the family from open shame, Mr. Tilton condoned the wrong. and he addressed to bis wite such letters of atection, tenderness and respect ax her wounde! spirit, and produce that result. TRE ROWEN DIFFICULTY Tenth.—That in December, 1570, differences arose between Theodore Tilton and Henry C. Bowen, which were augmented by the Kev. Henry Ward Beecher sod Mere. sober, § consequence whereof, and at the wis! Klizabeth K.

BRECHER’S ORS. At this interview between Mr. Beecher amd Mr. Titon, permission was sought by Mr. Beecher to consvit with Mre. Tilton on that same evening. This permission being g Mr. Beecher departed from Mr. Moulton’s house, and in about half an hour returned , expressing his remorse and shame, and declaring that bis lite and work seemet brought to @ sudden end. 1 in the same evening Mr. Tilton, on returning to his house, found bis wite weeping and in great distress, saying that meant for peace had ooly given pain and anguish; that Mr. Beecher Just called on her, declaring that she had *iaie bi and that he would probably be tried before counci] Of ministers unless she woul! give hi & written paper for his protection; whereg she paid he dictated to her, and she copied in her own handwriting, suitable paper tor him to use to clear himnself before @ council of min- isters.
