HincKLRY AND Tag PosTaL Caus.— The portal cars from New York came in last night and this morning as usual, without any detention at Baltimore, and left Washington last night and this morning, passing over Mr. Hinckley’s road as formerly. It is now almost certain that Mr. Hinckley will continue to per- ‘orm the service, (knowing that Col. Scott will accept itif he does not,) trusting to Congress to grant him the extra compensation asked for. ANOTHER INDIAN CarTURE.—Several months ago Col. McIntosh, of the Indian territory, won the heart and band of one of Washington's lovely daughters, and has taken her as his wife to his pleasant country home in that section. Last nigbt, Dr. Long, also of the Indian terri- tory, married from the same house where McIn- tosh found bis bride a lady—Miss Davies, of Milford, Va. These representative red men have displayed good taste in their selections of life partners.

There are upwards of one hanired al together who will receive them. The forms were prepared by Messrs. Gibson Bros. The bids for furnishing supplies to the alms- house had not been c'as#ified in time to publish in this iseve of Tux Star. The amount of taxes collected in the month of July foots up $458,122.27. THE PAY ROLLS for the special snperinten-lents and laborers nn der the late Beard of Public Works, have been completed by Dr. 4.P. Fardon, paymaster, and are now in the hands of the Anditor.

A deputation of superintendents waited Impon the Commissioners this morning to see when they are to be paid, and were assured that their pay ro!ls would be taken up at the earliest mo ment possible. ‘The Controller commenced to pay the teach- ers of the white schools about 12 o'clock to-day. and will finish up to-motrow.

Late advices from Black Ko: N. ¥., represent that Edwards 1s ‘right? in all respecte, and is well nigh down to the standard at which he proposes to mill. Dooney Harris will, we understand, take him in hand during the current week, and the trio—Billy, Dooney and Warry—will remain at the champions pre- sent quarfers until within a few days of that set for the conilict, when they will pack their trapa and journey beyond the Alleghanies. We learn from our Cincinnati correspondent that Collyer continues in rugged health, and believes {n his ability to astonish both bis friends and toes, now that he will figbt at hisown weight. Bar- hey Aaron left for Pittsburg on July 23 to s2~ leet the battle ground, and if suitalle arrange- ments could be made, Collyer contemplated following 8 few days later, and finish his trai ing near the field selected.” BRITISH CHOY REPORTS haye suddenly as sumed & changed and omingus tone, and one of these vicissitudes which are always to be ap- prebended has fallen upon the harveste of Eng- land. A protracted drought is appreheniad, and water is 60 scarce that, in several of the agricultural districts, for domestic purposes it is being carried from the brooks. This is attri- buted to the denudation of large tracts of land of their timber—aridity and a rainiess territory being the invariable sequent upon this whole~ sale and entire destruction of forest growth. As & consequence of the late deficiency of rain, the hay is thin and light, and other crops are likely to be injuriously affected by the same cause. The result of the season will probably be a de- mand for our cereals considerably average, and that will as naturally si in our home market: JouN BRiGut on faMreRance.—Ina recent letter on the temperance question Mr. John opinion, appeals should sof Christian churches, a public opinion among gious classes in favor of temperance, and of offering, through them, to the view of the nation, a grand example of the use of articles which are so seldom useful and s0 often pernicious. At present # few persons clamor for legislation which the conutry is not prepared for and will not bear; the conseqnence Of this is a failure, there being much contention and vo result. Ina great reform of this kind Parliament can do little, but the portion of our people which cares for religicn can do m and without their zeal and co-operation ref is an impossibitity.

On bis breast there was tied a tag, upon which was written, ‘Clara Scully, No. 62 Jones street, N.Y.

It reflects painfally both on the libera'ity and the patriotism of the countuymen of Wash- ington, that this silent remembrancer of his greatness has not long ere this reared its lofty shaft to Heaven to proclaim @ nation’s recog- nition of its own creator. It is to be desired that such a spontaneous and generous response to the present rejuest for aid shall follow it, that the rising generation salt be spared the met ancholy vision of this unfinished effort.

BRITISH LEGISLATION aGatnst Ritvat- 1sm.—Disraeli’s public worship bill, which he has contessed is intended to “put down ritual- iem,”’ passed a third reading in the House of Commons Monday night. The House of Lords yesterday threw out the important amendment made by the House of Commons to the bill, granting parishioners the right of appeal to the archbishop in case the bishop refuses to author- ize the prosecutton of clergymen for ritualistic practices. The action of Lords coiucides with the views of Gladstone, who was an earn- est opponent of the amendmont.

These reasons are the following: “Fire. You are a committee of Mr. Beecher’s friends, appointed by himself, expected to ac in his behalf, assisted by attorneys employed exclusively for his vindication, holding recret fessions inaccessible to the public, having no power to compel witnesses, giving no opportu nity for the opposite side to cross-examine such as ‘voluntarily appear, publishing or suppress. ing their testimony as you see fit, and, eo Tar as Wy Own experience goes, asking meno ques- tons fave such as were irrelevant to the case, and omitting to publish in your imperfect and Unjust report of my testimony all that was most pertinent to my own side vf the controversy. Second. The da:ty papers of Brooklyn and New York bave been artfully fed day by day with the crumbs of fictitious evidence against my Own character, as if not Mr. Beecher, but I aicne were the map on trial; and thongh I ba little right, perhaps, to hold your committee r sponsible for this daily misrepreseatation which Way come through the malice of others, yet the result is the same to me as if you deliberately designed it, and that result ts this, namely: 1 expect no justice from your tribupal—sinee you cannot compel witnesses to testity—nor from your reporters, since they do not give impartial reports. ‘Entra. 1 cannot resist the conviction, thongt I mean no offense in expresting it, that your com- mittee bas come at last to be as little sati«facto- Ty to the pubiic as wo myself, and that your ver- dict, if you render one, could not possibly be based on full facts, since you have no power to | compel Witnesses, nor to verify their testimony by cath, nor to sift it by cross-examtination. For these reasons, which ought to have moved me earlier, I bave at last inetructed my counsel to proceed at once, at his discretion, to carry my care from your juritdiction to a court of law, and, in view of this instruction trom me, be bas in turn inetructed me to hold no farther commu nication with your committee exceps this pres- ent letter of court n which I have the honor to bid you farewell, in doing which allow me to add that the respect which 1 am unable to eu- tertatn for your committee as a tribunal, I can not help expressing for you each and a ‘ viduals. Yours, truly, Tugopore Tittoy.” MES. TILTON’S TRSTIMONY before the Plymouth church investigating com- mittee will be published to-day. The following is a brief synopsis, embracing all that is of iu- terest and not heretofore puolished. Tue ex- amination begins with an apparent purpose to show that Mr. Tilton neglected his wite trom @ very early period of their marsied life, Mra. Tilton stated that abe was frequently sick, and ber physician said there was care and trouble on her mind, which he could net cure with mede icine. nestion—What was the trouble in point of fact? Answer.—Well, any one of you gentle men, I think, would have cared for my ismily asmpuch as Theodore did; I was left entirely with my servants, and they were very poor ser vants; I could vot have my mother with ma, be- cause it was impossible for her to tive with us on account of disagreement with Mr. Tilton; Mr. Tilton was dissatisfied with bishome and his wife’s management, aud was harsh in Lis criticisms. Q. When did be begin to talk to you, if at a! in regard to your association with and frlendsh 'y for Mr. Beecher? A. I think I had no visits from Mr. Beecber before 1556; that is the first I remember seeing him very much. What was the criticism in regard to Beecher and yourseif which Tilton made? A Early in 1865 Mr. Tilton’s mind was tainted with turpicions of Mr. Beecher, and he used to talk with me continually about his wrong doing With Iadies, stories of which were told by Dir —, (name not given) When Mr. Bee me to eee me Mr. Tilton began to be su picions, and that I might be perfectly transpa parent With roy husband with respect to my interviews with Air. Beecher alone. | used to charge my mind with our conversations aad re peat them to Mr. Tilton. Mrs. Tilton continues: She was continually questioned by Mr. Tilton concerning these con- versations in the most jealous manner; she was afterwerd told, with anger, that she concesled scmething that she didn’t mean to tell; that she lied. For three years she tried to repeat every- thing that was said, but found Mr. Tilton more suspicious than ever. He had no confidence in ber, and she suffered a great deal. Tuis state of things lasted to the present day, although she had not felt so badiy for the [ast two years. Mr. Tilton's criticisms to her took the form of accusationr. In the winterof 18%, when he began to assume that she had done ‘a crimival wrong with Mr. Beecher, she met the ebar; sometimes with anger, sometimes with ness or silence, but invariably denied crimin: intimacy. Sbe had denied it in letters to Mr. Tilton, but they were lost. He seemed to use all bis influence to make her acknowledge the wrong, and talked so much ot it she thought he was morbid. He told ber once he saw her sit- ting on Beecher’s lap in our parlor, and she replied, “You didn't.” This morbid jealonsy bad a wearing and sickening effect o ber. H. never uamed any definite time or place of any criminal act with Mr. Beecher; never pretended fhe was guilty of any impropriety at Mr. Beecher’s house. She went there twice or thrice to consult with Mr. Beecher about a sick person. Never methim at any other place by appointment. Mr. Tilton never accused her of criminality based upon any admiesion by her. Itwas not true that she confessed in Jaly, 1579, any act of impropriety with Mr. Beecher. The story ef Catharine Gaunt she had not read through when she wrote her Scohare letter. Being impressed with the story at acertain point she wrote the letter to her husband. She had no reference to adultery or thought of it in the letter. Mrs. Tilton was asked, what did you refer to? and replied: 1 will try to answer tliat question. The ove absorbing teeling of my whole life has been Theodore Tilton. Neither Mr. Beecher, I asstre you, nor any human being has ever taken away from me that one fact, my love for him. But 1 must say that I felt very great helpfulness in my own soul from having had the friendship of Mr. Bee cher, and also of other people, a? many women as men. On the subject of the alleged confession by comparison with the character of Catherive Gaunt, Mrs. Tilton said that the confession was gave him that impression, but she told him if he would give to her what be gave to others sho would probably find in him what she found ia Mr. Beecher. When she spoke of her “sin” in Schoharie she meant that she had ‘anyone else did not again, i : L; FH i Hl | | i i ty i i i i | i : : i i i g a ‘ | i He il li rth aT : H z 4 : Hl i 7 1 i i iu : H et F, £ e ie Fi 8 i i iS aay ¥ i | stating that Mr. Beecher made improper ap- preaches, withers said that the paper sbe wro'e was but a couple of lines, as far as she could re- member.

Mr. Tilton wrote it first, and I sat up in my sick bed and copied it. Q. Is that trae of all letters that have that significance? A. Ves, sir, so far as my author- ity of them is concerned. Q. Did you ever tell anyhumen being that ou had been guilty of wrong doing with Mr. jeecher? A. | never voluntarily didso.

It wasthe same thing when I copied and signed letters which Theodore pr pared, ana I am remindedof it. 1 do not know whether it was tresebery, but many times he said, “you have gone to Dr. Storr's and now be knows that you are gatity.” He found out that I bad been to Dr. Storr’s, aud he was very angry. Witness here recounted the scene at ner house, when Susan B. Anthony was present, much as published except tuat she told iss Anthony that Tilton had accused her of adultery with Mr. Beecher. Not that she bad committed it. “MUTUAL” MOULTON. Francis D. Moulton reached Brooklyn yoster- day morning. In an interview Moulton said that although he bad heard an invitation bad been sent him to appear before the investiget- ing committee, he had not yet received any m- vitation. He declared be was ready and willing to go before the committee if both partics re- quested it.
