Tue PRestpent RIP TO ATLANTIC Orry, The Presidential party lett Long Branch Sat. urday morning in President Scott’s car of the Pennsylvania railroad. The party consisted of President and Mrs. Grant and son, General Babcock, Attorney Geuerdl Williams, Joho Goforth, Thomas H. Dudley, Miss Dudley, Miss Matlock, A. K. Hay, president, and D. M. Zim merman, treasurer of the Camden and Atlantic City railroad, with the board of directors of the road and a number of other gentlemen. At Haddonfield a short stop was made, when the President received a bouquet and made a short speech in reply to congratulations. At Hammoa- ton a band of music was in attendance. At Egg Harbor City specimens of native wines and cigars were put on the car avd partakea of oo the run down. A salute was also fired from the United States hotel at Atiantic City. 41 im- mense crowd assembied, and the Presiient was saluted with music and enthusiastic cheers. On reaching the parlor he was welcomed by Rev. Mr. Willitts in a characteristic speech, to which the President made an appropriate reply. The President and party then took aride around the city, after which he dined with his party and a number of invited guests. The party enjoyed a uiet time yesterday. The President attended the Episcopal church yesterday morning, and last evening all the party, including the ladies, held July 28 to 31. Tre ATocua EsTatz.—The Upper Marlboro’ Prince Georgian gives the follow! the closing of the Atocha estate, so mueh litigation has been had:—‘For many years before his death the late Alexander J. Atocha, of this county, prosecuted w.th great vigor his claim for indemnity for property de- stroyed in the city of Mexico whilst he was an American resident of that place. He died, however, without realizing anything therefrom, leaving it a legacy to his widow and children, and they continued the effort until finally its merits were a, established and the gover: ment decreed that itshould be paid. Intl lopg years of ite peroneal the cleim had nata- rally grown to gigantic proportions, and when at length the judgment was obtained it aggre- gated over $400,000. Of course it was decreed to be paid outof the special indemnity fund; but in the mean time the payment of the other claims upen it having been made, that fund hi become reduced far below the amount awarded, and they only received the balance re- maining, amounting to 207,461.07. Of this sam the claims for prosecuting were neceszarily paid immediately, and two of them amounted re- spectively to the sums of $32,331 and $32,063 21, besides which an eminent attorney of Balti- more rece.ved $1,500 for sevices rendered the e.tate. Mrs. Eliza A.J. A.ocha administered, and the ciaims presented against the estate ex- ceeded the amount received. Theve were all out of date, and some of the most exorbitant character, and the result was the contest in the orphans’ covrt which was conciuded on Tues- day. On that day Messrs. H. Clay Dallam, of Baltimore, Christopher Ingle, of Washington, and the Hon. Daniel Clarke, representing the cletmants, and M srs. C. C. Magruder and Jos. K. Roberts, jr., representing the estate, together with Mrs. Atocha and her son, apperred before the orphans’ court and finally agreed upon a compromise by which those claims not deemed fraudulent received abont fifty cents on the dollar, which Mrs. Atocha at once paid.

We all admit that, and do not need to call wiinesscs to prove it «2. You have stated that there were acts of criminality, first at Mr. Beecher's house, and secondly at your own house. Do you’ pre- tend to bave @ personal knowledge of those acte? A. Only the knowledge of Mrs. Tilton's confession; that is all. I was absent at the time. BEECHER AND MRS. WOODEULL Witness was askca how Mr. Beecher was to have an interview with Mrs. Woodbu:). Hosaid be did not remember the circumstances, thought Frank Moulton devised it. Mr. Beecher b number of interviews with her at Frank Mo: ton’s house and st witness’ house. The object was to get Mr. Beecher committed to her views of woman sufirage. Witness was asked if M Beecher had been importuned to preside and inueduce Mrs. Woodhall at Steinway Mati A. Yes; there came a note from Col. Biood about the Woodballs not being received at some hotel. They said it wae because they were uopopular, and they wanted Mr. Beecher's help. There was something tn the Jetter which Moulton said looked Ike viack mail. He was very angry. @.

A. Yes; it was astatement necessary to be made. After Mrs. Woodhuli’s statement 1 wasout of town and the thing had filled the country, and Beecher had taken no notice of it. It was seven or eight days old, and I went to Dr. Storrs for counsel. He asked me about the story, and I said, “Do not ask me for that.” He said, “Give me some facts by which I can ce ™; give me that wiich can be proved.” So gave an account of my affaire—very largely about Mrs. Woodhuil—and soon the origin of that document wes seeking tor something that would put before the public a plausible answer fo the Woodbul! tale, and I conceived that by zev.on of facts we might perhat; explain it ‘ay- Iread itto Mr. Beecher, and he barst into a long sigh, and { saw that he would not or could not stand upon it, and Elizabeth burned or tore it to pieces. Q. Why did you abandon the document? A. Becavee there was no success in it. Q. Why was it? Not because he did not ac- cept? A. Because he cid not acceptor reject it. He woald let no statement be made, and so the thing was burned. TILTON’S OPINION OF HIS WIPE. Q. Have you pot untrequently asserted the purity of your wife? A. No, I have always had & strong technical use of words. 1 have . used worde that conveyed that impression. | have taken pains to say that she was a devoted Christian woman. That necessarily carried the other. It was like the statement I carried w Dr. Storrs. Ido not think he caught the iden of that statement. As he took it I do not think it covered the whole. I have said that Eliza beth was a tender, delicate, kindly Christian woman, which I think she is. Q. Have you not stated that she was pure’ ATTEMPTED LYNCHING.
