Promptly at 12 o’clock, yesterday, tho Secre- tary of the Treasury opened the proposals for subscription tothe new five per cent. funded loan, $178,000,000, in presence of the two assist- ant secretaries and Mr. Bigelow, chief of the loan branch of the department. A large num- ber of bids were received; a number being sent by telegraph, the two per cent. forfeit being deposited in New York with the sub-treasurer. The opening of the bids was conducted with the strictest secrecy. Of the firm bids received, aggregating proposals for seventy-six million, ids for twenty million are understood to be from American bankers and investors. The bank of Calitornia subscribed one million; the e of New York three million; and probably ten or twelve million is bid for New York fida- ciary agents and trustees. Some bankers that bad called sixes on deposit in this city bid for exchange. Nothing is given out as to the names of the bidders, butit is rumored that Mesars. Von Hoffman subscribe five million; while it is asserted that Seligman, the German-American banker, has bid for twenty-five million, and the cenditional proposition to take the balance left within six months. Fisk & Hatch, it is under- stood, bid several million; while Morton, Bliss & Co,, and Drexel, Morgan & Co. also contem- re tubmitting additional bids for the whole. ‘presentatives of both houses were in the city yetterday. If the Secretary could sell the bonds direct for gold a large amount would be worked off, and among small investors. Many applica- tions for the direct purchase at par, the pur- chaser to pay the gold and take the bonds at once, were made. To these applications the Secretary has replied that under existing law he is not authorized to make such sales, for the reaton that he is forbidden by the Fanding act to ircreaee the bonded debt, and he cannot call in the six per cent. bonds without giving three months’ notice. It is presumed the proffers ot direct purchases received amounted to several million. Philadelpbia sends a bid amountin, to two million. Itis believed that if fifty mi lion is disposed of at home the Secretary will do German, French, and Holland investors itand ready to — the balance—the first being iy anxious. The 5 War.

A letter dated Fort Sill, July 7th, from the Colonel commanding the 10th cavalry, states that about tem or twelve days ago, at the Abode Walls, on the Canadian river, about thirty miles trom Antelope Hills, a large party of Indians, consisting of Cheyennes and Co- manches, bumbering 250 warriors, attached the new settlement at that place. The settlers took refuge within the walls, and being well armed succeeded in killing seven Comanches and four Cheyennes. A TRAIN ATTACKED. On the evening of the 5th iustant a report was brought inw the Cheyenne agency cat tle men to the effect that at Skeleton Cree about fifty miles above the agency, on the road to Wichita, Kansas, a train of about twenty wagons had been attacked and the whole train burned and 4 of the trainmen killed and buraed by & party of Indians supposed to consist ceiefly of Cheyennes. and a few Comanches and Kiowas. Col. Davidson concludes: “From all accounts there seems to be a great alarm in the upper country, and so soon as Captain Carpen- ter returns from the Brazos I shall call in some of the troops to meet thisstate of affatrs.”” INDIAN AGENT MILES WANTS TROOPS. Indian Agent Miles writes to Colonel David- son, command.ng 10th cavalry, from Darling- ton, 1. T., a8 follows: ‘I am’ well aware that the agency is not under the protection of the troops at this command, but under the present state of aflairs, surrounded by small parties of hostile Indians, with no means of protection, I have to reqrest, that if practicable, thou send at once, a detachment. of troops to re- port at theagency to remain until we may be be able to reach General Brooke at Camp Sap- ply. This request is made with the view to pro- tect the lives of employes and government property. OUK SUMMER RESORTS.

The following statement of Mrs. Tilton ts published: To pick up anew the sorrows of fhe last ten years, the sings and pains I had daily myselt Ww bury and forgive, makes this impera- tive duty, as called ‘orth by the malicious state- ment of my husband, the saddest act of my life. Besides, my thought of following the Master conwradicts this act of my pen, and a seuse of the perversion of my life-faith almost compels me now to step aside until God him self gelivers, Yet I see in this wanton act an urgent call, and a privilege from which I shrink net. To reply in detati to the twenty-two arti cles of the arraignment 1 shall not attempt at present. Yet if I am called upon to testify to each and ali of them I shall not hesitate to do so. Suftice it for my purpose now that I reply to one or more of the most glaring charges. TILTON’S HATRED OF BRERCHER. Touching the teigned sorrow of my husband's compulsory revelations, | solemnly avow tast long before the Weodball publication I knew him, by insinuation and direct statement, to have repeated to my very near relative and friend the substance of these accusations which shock the moral seuse of the entire community this day. Many times, when hearing that cer- tain persons had spoken ill of him, he has sent me to chide them tor so doing, and then aud there I learned that he had been before me with bis calumnies against myself, so that | was speechless. The reiteration of his statement that be had persistently striven to hide these so- called facts is utterly false, as his hatred to Mr. Beecher has existed these many years, and the determination to ruin Mr. Beecher has been the one aim of his life. TILTO: Again, the perfidy with which the holiest love & wife ever offered has been recklessly disoard- ed in this publication reaches well-nigh to @ao- rilege; and, added to this, the endeavor, like the early scandai of Mrs. Woodhull, to make my own worés condemn me, bas no parailel—most conspicuously my letter quoting the reading of Griffith Gaunt. “Had Mr. Tilton read the pare character of Catharine he would have seen that I litted myself beside it as near as any human may affect an ideal; but it was her character, and not the incidents of fiction surrounding tt to which 4 referred. Here was no sin or crimi- val act or thought. A like contession with hers I had made to Mr. Tilton in telling of my love for my friend and pastor ove year before; and | now add that, notwithstand: all misrepre- sentations and anguish of soul, T owe to my ac- quaintance and friendship with Mr. Beecher, as to no other Buman instrumentality, that en- couragement in my mental life and toward the divine nature which enable me to walk daily in a lively hope of the life beyond. SHAMELESS CHARGES, The shameless charges in articles seven, eight and bine are fearfully false in each and every particular. The letter referred to in Mr. Tul- ton’stenth paragraph was obtained from me by importunity, and by representations that it Was peceseary for him to use in his then pend- ing difficulties with Mr. Bowen. I wasthensick bigb unto Geath, having suffered @ miscarriage only four days before. I signed whatever he required without knowing or understanding its import. The paper I have never seen, and do not know what statements it contains. in charge eighteen a letter of mine, addressed to Mr. Francis Moulton, was quoted to prove that I never desired a separation, or was ad- vised by Mr. and Mrs. Beec! to leave my hus- band. I reply that the letter was of Mr. Tul- ton’sown concocting, which he induced me to cepy and sign as my own, an act which, in my weakness and mistaken thought to help him, I have done too often during these unhappy years. TILTON AS A PRER LOVER. The implication that the harmony of the home was unbroken until Mr. Beecher entorea itasa frequent guest and friend, is a lament- able satire upon the household where be bim- self, years before, laid the corner-stone of free ud desecrated its altars up to the time or parture, So that the atmosphere was not odless, but impure for my children; ani im thiseflort and throe of agony I would fain litt my daughters and al! womanhood from the insidious cant and diabolical teachings of these latter days. His frequent efforts tu prove me insane, weak-minded, insignificant, of mea presence, all-rank in the ca*egory of heartless bess, selfishness and falsshood, having i's cli max in his present endeavor to convince the world that Iam or ever have been unable to distingulen between au junocent and a guilty love. A SOLEMN DENIAL. In summing up the whole matter, I affirm myself before (od to be innocent of the crim laid upon me; that never have | been guilty 0 adultery with Henry Ward Beecher in though? or deed, nor has he ever offered to me an in decorus or improper propora!. To the further charge that | was led away from my home by Mr. Beecher’s friends and by the vice of a lawyer whom Mr. Beecher bad sent to me, and who, in advance of my appearing before the committee, arranged with me the questions and answers which are to constitute my testimony in Mr. Beecher’s behalf, | answer that this is again untrue, having never seen the lawyer until in- troduced to him a few moments before the arri- yal of of the committee by my stepfather, Judge Morse; and in further reply [ submit the follow- ing statement of my action before the commit- tee and the separation from my husband: TILTON'S THREATS. The publication of Mr. Tilton’s letter in an- swer to Dr. Bacon I had not known or suspsct- ed, when on Wednesday evening he brought home the Golden banding it to me; 8nd on looking down its columns I saw, with well nigh blinding eyes, that he had put’ inte execution the almost daily threat of his life—*thathe lived. to crush out Mr. Beecher; that the god of bat- tles was in him; that he had always been Mr. Beecher’s superior; and all that lay in hie path, wife, children, or reputation, if need be, sould fall before this purpose.” I did not read it. i faw enough without read My spirit rose thin me as never before. “Theodore,” I said, tell me wi means this quotation from Mr. Beecher? fo Years ago you came to me at midnight, saying, ‘Elizabeth, all the letters and apers concerning my difficulties with Mr. ‘eecber and Mr. Bowen are burned, destroyed Now don’t you betray me, for 1 bave nothing to defend myself with.’ ” “Did you believe that?” seid he. “1 certainly did, implicitly,” said I. *Well, let me teil you they all live—not one is destroyed.” If this was said to intimidate me it had quite the contraryeffect. I had never been so fearless, or scen so clearly before with whom I was dealing. Coming to me a little later he : «I want you to read it. You will find it a vindication of yourself. You ba pot stood be fore the community for tive years as you now do. Roused still farther by the wickedness bid bebind so faise a mask, I replied: ‘‘Tueodore, understand me; this is the last time you call me publicly to walk through this filth. y charac. ter needs no vindication at this late hour from you. There was a time, had you spoken out clearly, truthfully and msnfully for me, I had been grateful, but now | shall speak and act for myreli. Know, also, that # in the future I see a scrap of paper referring to any human being, however remote, which it seems to me you might use to pervert for your own ends, I will destroy it.” “This means battle on your part then,” he z | z, I u | ; i i ! & i t as i i f : fs 4 li a i ' i 5 if ft i i i i i utterly revewing my heart I loved.

TILTON ACCUSED OF BYTOCRIFY. In the afternoon be left me to show it to his frends. He returned home early in the even- ing, packing the happiest houre I had known for love to the dear end had then come. mad outright. xt morning be called upon our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ovington, and there. ig * bocking travado, began a wicked tira fearful scene I learned next day. in the afver- noon he showed me his invitation from the com- mittee to meet them that evening. I did not then show my burt, but carried it heavily with- nd calmly without all mght until early morning. Reflecting upon this scene at Mr. (vingtor oonvinced me that notwithstanding my her band’s recent professions to mo, his former spirit was unchanged, that his deciarations of repentance and affection were ouly for the pur- pose of gaining my assistance to accomplish bis ends in his warfare upon Mr. Beecher. Ip the ht of these conclusions my duty appeared plain. | arose guietly, and having dressed, roused bim only tesay: “Theodore, I will never take another step, by your side, The end hes indeed come.” He followed me to Mr. Oving- ton’s to breakfast, saying I was unduly excited, and that he had heen misrepresented perhaps, but leaving me determined as before. How to account for the changes which twenty- four hours had been capable of working tn bis mind these many years past, I leave tor the eternities with their mysteries to reveal. That he is an unreliable and unsafe guide, whose idea of truth-loving is self-loving, it ts my smisfor- tape in this late sad hour to discover. July 2, 1874 Evizanera K. Tiron. The Committee Meeting Last Eveu A dispatch from New York last night says The Beecher investigating committce met this eve it was stated by one of the mem- bers the committes that no witnesses were examined, but that the original letters 4 in Mr. Tilton’s statement were submit- to the committee for examination. The committee will meet again to-morrow evening, when it is believed that Henry Ward Beecher or Mrs. Tilton will submit their fall statements. Mr. Frank Moulton would not say whether be had prepared any statement for publication. An intimate friend and adviser of Mr Boecher said that there were several parties who bad seen and read the nal statements made b: Mr. Tilton, exculpating Mr. Beecher trom charges latterly preferred against him by Mr. Tilton, and they were prepared, if summoned before the committee, to swear to that Exct. One difficulty is the unalterable Sdelity with wi Mra. Beecher ministers to and sympathizes with All day y sbe was constantly in attendance upon bim, and answered all those who called at ‘the house. She stated that Mr. Beecher was in the beet of health and spirita, but that he could only be seen by bis most intimate friends. Io a conversation with @ prominent member ot Plymouth church, yesterday, he stated to the writer that Mrs. Beecher was firm in ber con- viction of Mr. Beecher’s innocence. Since the publication of Mr. Tilton’s statement she bad observed, “I don’t believe a word of it; | know my husband, and would not believe such things of him were his accusers to swear to the trath of their stories on ali the Bibles that had ever been printed.” Beecher'’s Love Letters. The New York Sun says:—“As to Mr. Beech- er’s love letters,” said a gentieman last evening whose official business hae ied him to recerre and open much of Mr. Beecher's correspond. ence, ‘you would be surprised to know how foolishly some women write to him. Every once in a while a woman getsa little crazy and writes w Mr. Beccber to tell him mach sbe adores him. The letters uted to go to the Independent office, and Tilton, under orders from Mr. Beecher, opened them. Many of them he mace copies of. and to-day bas manuscripts aud names, and jes of letters, all connected with respectable ladies who have toolishly written to Mr. Beecher all about their love for him. Some time ago a very respectable lady of Brooklyn wrote a warm, loving letter to Mr. Beecher; Mr. John Howard in the Christian Union office, ander genera! in- structions, opened it, and seeing what it was, locked it up to give to Mr. Beecher when he shou!d cali for it. In a day or two another letter from the same woman arrived, which referred to w letter whick the writer ssid Mr. Beecher bad written to her in reply. Every sentence was full of love, and the indy said that noth- ing delighted ber more thaw to receive a let- ter from @ man she loved so well. She wrote & number of love-sick epistles, which Mr. Howard locked up one after the other. Every letter except the firet referred to a reply that bad just been received from Beecher whereas the fact is, that Mr. Beecher did not know of the letters having been received until jong after the lady bai ceased writing, and then the bundle was delivered to him. He receives love letters by the ream and cord, the joke of it is, that as his wife takes care of all letters that come to him, she reads the love letters be- fore he sees them. Mrs. Tulton’s letters to Mr. Beecher were very affectionate and enthusine- tie, and expressed a deep, pervading love for him. Mrs. Beecher read them ali betore he saw them, and they are all in her possession now. When the scandal was first noised about, Mre. Beecher locked up the letters, and at Mrs. Til- ton’s request has preserved them for her. You can’t convince Mrs. Beecher that her husband is guilty of anything that Tilton charges. She says tbat if all the women in creation were to swear that Mr. Beecher bad been unfaithful she would not believe them.”’ How Mr. Tilton’s Statement Came to be Pablisbea. The Brooklyn Argus prints the following card: itis time for every person connected with the scandal to take tlic just responsibility that delongs to him—I waut to make mine. Aud, in order that | may take it fully, I herewith print S note, which | have this morning received from @y friend Theodore Tiiton. Weprmspay, Jaly 22. My Dear Maverick:—From no other person @ave either yourself, as my copyist, or from the Gommittee’s Short hand writer, or from some Member of the committee, could my sworn statement bave inte print.

Last Saturday, feeling that 1 render him some service in the preparation of his defense to the committee, I called at bis house. He was wearied and worn with copying papers, saying that he must @o it himself, for he could pot trurt the facts to an amanuenss. I then offered to copy for him in & clear round hand his sta‘ement, that be might get a chance to rest and sleep. in Going this work for an old friend, | became so thoroughly strack with the perfection of hie defeuse, that I felt sure it would carry the public, and told him so. Ho then replied that he never meant the pubiic to see it, and it was in vain that I attempted to convince him of the necessity of its publication. As one of his staunch friends, loving and koow- ing him to be a long-abused ‘man, and that be at sbravk from hurtin others in order to shield himself, | resoived that this defense should be published, and I published it.
