Angust 14, 1874- TELEGRAMS TO THE STAR. BEECHER. HIS CROSS EX 4MINATION. The Mutilated Letter tu Full, Latest Developments in the Scandal. By Telegraph to the Brewing Star. New Youre, August Mth, 1574. In_Beecher's crose-examination, yesterday, Mr. Sage asked: ‘Can you tell us how you came to write that letter of despondency, dated February 5th, 1872, to Moulton? A. I would come back from whole weeks of lecturing and would be perfectly fagged out, and the thing on getting home there would be some confounded development opening on | nes In this state of eae I = aa nger any resistancy or rebound in me, I wou! woken le weeks cut. And that is the way it happened time and time and time again. On One of theee occasions | went to Moulton’s store. Moulton had always :reated me with the it~ est personal kindness. He never had re! . by day or by night, tosee me or to listen to me. I never saw bim out of moot toward me. After the first few months he treated me as if he loved On this oecaston I went down to the store to see him his face was co.d towards me. [ TO] with him and he walked with je in such a way that it seemed to me as though it was irksome to him to have me with him, and as though HE WANTED TO SHAKE ME OFF. Now, anything like that almost gills me. I don’t wish to push myself upon anybody. To feel that I have pushed mveelf upon any human being who does not want me is enough to kill me; and to be treated so by him at that time made it seem to meas if the end of the world had come. As be was the only man on the giobe I could talk with on this subject, I was shat up to every human being. i could not go to my wife; I could not go to my ebildren; I could not go to my brothers and sisters; I could not goto my church. He wae the only person to whom I could talk, and when | got that rebuff from him it seemed as though it would kill me, and the letter was the product of that mood into which I was thrown. THE PISTOL INTERVIEW. Mr. Sage.— When was this interview with the isto? . A. The first Interview was at Moulton’s house December 30th, and the next was at my own house on the next day. Q.

I must have noticed it, or it would not have come to my memory. He said something about not being interrupted in any way. @. Taen Tilton locked the door when you Went into the reom with him? A.

Do you supose that you or the commnnity would have heard anythin of these troubles of Tilton with his family b: he been asucceseful man? ‘A. I am morally certain that they would have been deeper buried than the bottom of the sea if Tilton had gone right on to a prosperous eareer, and be bad had the food which he had been accustomed to; but Mr. Tilton “ig a man who starves for want of flattery, aud no power on God’s earth can ever make bim happy when uterrupted by a quea- tion by Mr. Winslow, who, in the course of fur- ther inquiry, asked MOULTON’S MELTING MOOD. of your conversation, when ed apology was written, did Moulton ng to you to the effect that there was nothing about the case bat what an apology might cover? . i A. He made the impression on my mind only that Tilton hac been greatly injured, b that he waz saturated with the conviction that Iwas nsing my whole power against him. W! any disclosure of my real feelings waa made to him he listened with a kiud of iacredulity he was actirg a part. But whon I shed tears, and my voice broke and i walked up and down the room with u distress, he seemed to be touched, and fi he ssid, ‘Now, if that is the way you feel: if I could be made to see it, this whole thing could be settied.” WY BEECHBE SAID TILTON WOULD HAVE ZEN t UNMSTANCES, BTC. he would have stances than I A.

Atany rate he took up my case. He Suggested bimseif that the thing to do would be to get him transferred into the regular army. He said that he knew a correspondent who’was at that time im Washington, and had great in- fluence, and be would go right om that very might, and secure this thing.

Beecher’s Letter to Moulton, THE FULL TEXT. The following is Beecher’s letter to Moulton, — toat the beginning of the cross-exami- nation: Fanrvary, 5, 1872.—My Dear Friend:-—I leave town to-day, and expect to pass through from Philadelphia to New Haven; shall not be here until Friday. About three weeks ago I met Tilton in the cars (age glert pen fe he was kind, we talked much; he told me to goon with without the least anxiety in so far as ge and actions were the occasion of ap- prehenson. On returning home from New Haven, where I am threedays in the week, delivering a course of lectures to theological students, I found a note from Elizabeth, saying that Til- ton felt hard toward me, and was going to see or write me before leaving for the west. She kindly added, “‘be not cast down; I fear almost always, but God, in whom we trast, will deliver’ ua all’ safely. I wv’ you do snd are willing abundantly to help him avd I also know your embarrassments. There were added words of warning, buf also of consolation, for I believe E. is beloved of God, and that her prayers for me are sooner heard than mine for myseit or for her; but it seems that a change bas come to T. since I saw him in the cars; indeed, even Since he has felt more in- tensely the force of feeling in society and the bumiliations which environ his enterprise. he has growingly felt that I had power to help which 1 did not develop, and [ believe that you have participated in this feeling; it is nataral ou should. T. is dearer to you than! can be; he ie with you all; his trials lie open to your eye daily, bat I bad but seldom, and my per- sonal relationsand environments necessities lim- itations,dangers and perplexities you cannot see por imagine. If I bad not Boo through this great year of sorrow, I would not have be- lieved that any one could pass through my ex. perience, and be alive or sane. I haye been the center of three distinct circles, each of which required clear mindedness and peculiarly inven- tive or originating power, viz: 1. The great church. 2. The newspaper. 3. The book. The first I could neither get out of nor slight. The seusitivenees of so many of my people would Lave made an appearance of trouble, or any remission of force an occasion of alarm and no- tice, and have excited where it was important that rumors should die and everything be quiet- ed. The newspaper I did roll oif, doing but lit- tle except give general directions, and in 89 do- ing I was continusliy spurred and exhorted by those in interest. It could net be helped. ‘The “Life of Christ,” long delayed, had locked up the capital of the firm, and it was likely tosink them. Finished it must be. Was ever book born of such sorrow as that was? The inte- history of st will never be written. Daring all this time you literally were all my stay and comfort. I should bave fallen on the way but for the courage which you inspired and the hope which you breathed. My vacation was profit able. i came back boping that the bitterness of death wae past; but I's troubles brought vack the cloud, with even severer suflerings, for all this tall and winter | have felt that you did not feel satisiied with me, and that I seemed both to you and 1’. as contenting myself with a cau- tious or sluggiah policy, willing to save myself, bat not to risk anything for T. I have again and again probed my heart to see whether I was truly liable to such feeling, and the response is unequivocal that I am not. No man cau see the difficulties then environing me un- less he stands where Ido. ‘To say that I have the church on my hands is simple enough; iv sone but to bave hundreds and not stopped, would break out into ruinous de- fence of me; to stop them without seeming to do it; to pi ut — one eg to meet and allay prejudices against T. which had their beginning years before this; to keep serene, a3 it bi was uot alarmed or disturbed; to be cheer- ful at home and among friends, when I was suf- fering the torments of the damned; to pase leepiess nights often, and yet to come up fresh and full for Sunday; all this may be talked about, but the real thing cannot be un- derstood from outside, nor its wearing and grinding on the nervous system. God knows that | have put more thought and judgment and earnest desire into my efforts to prepare the way for T. and E. than ever did for my- ton, you say, “Of course I can never speak to her again without his permission, and don’t know that even then it would be best.” Why did you say that? A. Becanse, either at the time of that letter from Mr. Bowen, or in ite immediate vicinity, Mr. Tilton, as I have the impression now, sent word by Bowen, though I can’t be sure of that, forbidding me ever to enter bis b ouse again. Q. When was that? 4 A. It was in the vicinity of that whole busi. bess, but in what way it came, or at what pre- cise date, I can’t tell. I only know the was conveyed Jo me from him, but by whom, or when, I have forgotten. it was a distinct thing in my memory, and afterwards he on one two occasions took pains to revoke it after bi THEY ALL WISHED THRY WERE DRAD. . Im the same letter occurred the words, which Mr. Tilton in bis statement makes appear to come from another letter, but which in fact are from the same letter, “When I saw I did not expect ever to see you agin, or be alive many days.” What was in your mind when wrote them? ‘ust what! bave stated in my statement E H F | Hi He & | *r j : it H { 5 i 4 i E §. 3 itt Sine ae Qa & é 5 oJ a if f ct i z Ff 5 i : if Bg oF 3 g > & Ee i f it a | i g g : i <, Fi i Her oe Ba HE e | ‘ iF E i E Ft i # self, an hundred-fold.

Mr. Biack, of Wesley Chapel. About 700 persons vious to the sermon Mr. Brown came forward and Asked for another coliection, saying that at the three collections taken up #0 far, only ¢160 had been realized, and ashe had twice toki them of the great ex- of the camp and the necessity of providing for its payment, he would begof them to pat their hands down deep into their pockets aud pull them up fullof money and let it fall into the hats, After the collection Mr. Black an- nounced his text from Matthew, 3d chapter and 10th verse: ‘Now therefore is the axe laid at the root of the tree. Now therefore any tree that bringeth not forth fruit shall be hewn dowa and cast into the fire.” During the sermon Rice, of Washington, wason the ground making preparations for taking a large photographic view of the scene, and Fast before the benedic~ tion was pronounced the presiding elder re- quested the ladies to lower their parasols and everybody to remain perfectly quiet for afew minates, during which time a fine view, look- ing towards the stand, was secured. The exercises at the stand gencrally close aboat haif past twelve, and at one o'clock the big bell announces THE HOUR FOR DINING. Scarcely does its first tone reach the ear than Baker's bell and Milliken’s gong start 4 racket in response equal to that at some railway dining place, where there are competing hotels. The crowd immediately fill the dining-room, and some one, perhaps G. A. Hall or W. R. Wood- ward, thump on @ table to attract attention, and when quiet is obtained. “say grace” by singing the long meter doxology. As soon as this is over, the clatter that follows is equal to the fixing and untixing of bayonets by a regi- ment of infantry at dress parade. Eighteen waitere at Milliken’s keep the carvers and the eaters busy, and it has been observed that the most zealous Christian is just as anxious to be waited upon first, and is just asimpatient as the wickedest sinner. When it comes to eating, mankind gets down to a level, and saint and sinner have no distinguishing traits. For two days notice had been given out that THE FEMALE MISSIONARY SOCIETY would bold a meeting at 2 o’clock yesterday, to be addressed by Mrs. Dr. Hibbard, of New York, and Mrs. Keen, of Philadelphia; but the two speakers did not put in an appearance, neither did they send a word of explanation, so the meeting did not take place. At 3 o’clock, as previously announced, a meeting was held to allow the officers to explain the objects and plans of THE WASHINGTON GROVE ASSOCIATION. Dr. Howard presided, and on motion of G. G. Baker the reading of the minutes of the pre- vious — nd the regular order of business was clispe! with, and Key. B. P. Brown was called upon to make a statement, to give those upon the ground a fair understanding of mat- ters, and to answer some objections that had been made, and to stroke down the backs of some of the grumblers. He stated that the asso- ciation had purchased thts property to provide a suitable place for the Methodists to hold their annual camp-meetings, and had fitted it ap at great expense ‘0 render it saitable for ‘such purposes. They proposed, also, to provide a place where people’ from the city could take their families a por- tion of the year into @ locality where they would be surrounded by good moral intiuences, free trom danger and everything objectionable, and to that end they, intend speedily to lay oif a portion of the ground into lots and lease them to proper persons, upon which they could erect cottages for permanent residences. To carry out this plan they have built the new road, and asked the county commissioners to close the old one, as its continuance on its former line woul be fatal to the plans of the association, and they thanked the commissioners for having acceded to their request. A stock company had bsen formed to carry out the above purposes, and during the past winter the legislature of Mary- land had unanimously granted them a charter. The provisions of the charter were explained, and the government of the grounds alluded to; aiter which objections to the management were answered. He then said: We have been charged with making money out of this thing. Theexecative committee have given their time, and borne all their own expenses in traveling over the road to and from Washington and Baltimore. a. bave never received one cent for their serv: either directly or indirectly, and we challeng any one to prove tothe conirary. We have douse all this work because we love the cause, and if we are not appreciated here we hope to be np onder, and to receive our reward there. But itissaid that the water has givenout. Weil, we are sorry about that; wehad too much water last year, and were dissatistied; now, in a dry time, we find we have not got enough, and bs- tween this time and next year we propose to take up the wells, enlarge them, and dig them deeper, and put them in a coudition to supply all our needs in that respect. We think now that we have answered ajl your complaints. Shares of association stock were then soli, One each, to about twenty-five persons. Giem Tuck of Washington, and Dr. Tuck of Annapo- lis, bought five shares each, avd in all thire: five shares were sold at .$20 per share. The meeting was then turned intoa prayer meeting, continuing for nearly an hour. BVENING SERVICES. At So’clock Key. E. D. Owens preached from Matthew, 6th chapter ith verse, and was fol lowed by Rev. Mr. Norris in a powerful exhor- tation, during which many came forward to the mourners’ bench. Religious exercises were continued until half-past ten, and nine persons professed to have been converted, making over thirty sinee the opening of the camp. The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic and earnest of any yet held. The colored praying band continued their exercises till 11 o’clock as usual. INCIDENTS. Boyd anc a few others improvised a horse race on the county road above the camp, at which ben pat fast nag got beaten by one ot the ceun- colts, jon. Montgomery Blair spent the day on the camp ground among bis ‘‘constituents.”” This morning everything ts pieasant and cheerful, and indications point to a good at- tendance. ‘The interest # increasing, and the remaining br will probably be profitably spent. ‘he camp breaks up uext Tuesday morning, 60 Monday night will be the “last night.” B. see.
