Bankers generally, and especiatly thore of the soundest and most conservative clase, give the uew system of redemption their hearty approval and support. ‘The agency was at first mach embarrassed by the lack of expe- rienced counters and assorters and of proper rooms and furniture, The department was badly crowded, and it was a difficult matter to provide rooms for over 100 new employes, ‘This Aim. gui 8 DOW besa overem> Gad the agency b W COmmodions rooms for its work.

According to promise, I have dropped you an occasional note from time to time, giving a brief report of our cruise, and now I have to record our sate return to Erie, the headquarters of the Michigan. At Detroit we had a gay time, as Stated in my last letter; but one amusing cir- cumstance I omitted torecera. Several officers who bad attended the theater were returning to the ship at night, closely followed by Captain wa. Hinton, the pilot, and the paymasie eler! HOW TO CURE A BAD coves. Captain Hinton, you must know, is regarder, as the best man, physically, on the lakes. The officers were met by thess three roughs who, pretending to be suffering from extremely bad coughs, bowed their heads during a convulsive cough, and suddenly butted between the otfi- cer, knocking them widely apart. Captain Hinton took in the situation aud prepared fur another cough. He was correct in his calcula- tion. The roughs were seized with another ft 0; coughing just as they met the pilot, and as they bowed their heads for the butting opera- tiop, Captain H. coolly remarked, “You seem to have a pretty bad cough,” and at the same ume struck out right and left. As the roughe slowly recovered themselves trom a recumbent position in the street gutter, a hackman on his box near by, who had witnessed the whole pro» ceeding, said to them, ‘*You were cured of your coughs ¢—d soon.” Beiow Detroit, some afteen miles, is a charm- ing new hotel just opened—the ‘Alexander House’’—where the ladies and gentiemen ot Det flock in thousands for a day’s ploasure. Our Ship anchored here for one evening, and we enjoyed a delightful hop. We next pro- ceeded to PUT-IN-BAY, 80 called from its being the harbor into which Perry “put in” after his famous victory over the British feet, the battie being fought just out- tide. The grave in which many of Perry's brave tars were buried is still to be geen just in front ot the main hotel. his he cave in which many of thei are el ore to have wintered, about one mile iulaud, and is visited by the thousands of strangers who annually frequent this charming summer resort. About a qaarter of a mile or less north of the main island, and sheltering the bay, lies “Gibraltar,” tne famou» COUNTRY BEAT OF JAY COOKE. It is a small rocky isiand, covered with the original growth of large forest trees, in the midst of which Mr. Cooke erected a beguttfay stone cottage, witn a castellated tower, which rises far above the trees, surmounted by a tati flsg-staff, from which ‘the American ensign floated prior to the days of finuncial bank ruptcy. ‘The premises are now in possession of the assignee. During our stay at Pat-in-Bay the Michigar was thronged with visitors, who were gratiti «| with a view of exercises on a man-of-war. The men were called to gene: quarters, and all the movements of attack and defence, beth with guns and cutlasses, were gone through with in admirable style, notwithstanding the contract- ed character of the ship's quarter-deck. One hundred and twenty men were engaged in the action. Great credit is due the officers of the Michigan for the splendid discipline and dril! of the ship. Leaving Pnt-in-Bay at 6 p. m. yesterday, we came to an anchorage in this port at 9, o'clock this morning, and in a few days I hope to report in person. Yours, truly, A.

The Chicago Tripune of Saturday contat avother interesting addition to the literature of the Beecher-Tilton crams from the penof it enterprising correspondent, Mr. George Altre’ Townsend. It is inthe form of an tuterview with Mr. Moulton, in the course of which that gentleman detailed somewhat explicitly the confessions which Mr. Beecher hat made to him of his adulteries with Mrs. Tilton and others. It also includes some important state- ments by Mr. Moulton concerning the reverend defendant's conduct in other matters. In ex- . how he bad become the meuiator be- tween cher and Tilton, Mr. Moulton says: “Tilton had been wearing a kind of woeful, wretched face for some time. The night I drew Beecher to see bim was the night he told me bis trouble. My heart at once jumped to those poor children, Ss aed being deprived of a» moch family have desired, and I struck Tight out on & line of policy, natural as it seemed to me, to rebuild and compel harmony. I had no need of either of those men; no time for years of arbitration; no curiosity as to their secrets. The reason [ cannot make the evi- dence exonerate Beecher is, that he is the guilty party. before a libertine and a minister; he {s now a liar and a sneak. No word can be coined unti] the day of eternity to Geserihe the man’s perfidy to me. By the ad- vice ot attorneys he has brutalized this issue to the last degree and made the only noble deed of years a subject of accusation of a blackmail ‘ainst A manwhom but a week before he clasped in hisarms and called the noblest friend God ever made for him. Q. Do you mean that in Mr. Tilton’s aper eurre! ‘through you he wasservii fartice ? a Yes; ? say fy uaving crus hat man like a coward, first abusing hospi- bent a his eee ieee — oy ed bav- ing bim dischar, wen im poor , Mr. Beecher contd doncioes and uninfluen in his contrite moments than to help Tilton’s paper to get on its feet. He has now sworh away that solivary att of atonement by calling ‘uing blackmail. There is no heil he has not aroused. If he believes the christian religion he is a damned man. Another of Mr. Moulton’s replies to the cor- respondent contains the following description of Mr. Beecher’s mental condition ; In all his (Beecher’s) talk on that question he prociaimed that he had sinned because he could not help it; that he loved Elizabeth and was loved by her, and that he could not feel the en- joyment of this love to be asin. He eaid that bis wife had made his home a hell, where he found neither appreciation nor sympathy, and that she drove his relatives and her own family “away. She was jealous; wrote him anonym us letters; disliked his popularity, and followed bim like a Nemesis. He found a pleasant bower at Tilton’s house, where he was proudly aud af- fectionately received. There he read his man- uscripts to Mrs. Tilton. and haithe benefit of her criticism, which, on such topics, was good; and, finally, & perfect communion of soal arose between them, aid they fell to the earth in the very exaltation of piety. Beecher said God could net punish a man who led his domestic life at home and was tempted by such a com- forter as Elizabeth. He told me they both prayed over their sin, and were assured tha: it had pot the deprecation of Heaven. This par- tieular conversation Beecher held tying on his bed. He seemed to think Tilton never had any original rights in the matter of his wife, who had made misalliance with a nature not spirit val epongh for ber. In apswering the inquiry whether Beecher feared his sister, Mrs. Hooker, Mr. Monlton said “Hedid. She was neta crazy woman, bat a bolder Beecher than he, with an equa! appe- tite for the world. { will tell you something that willshow the selfish depths of Beecher’s character. His sister was worked upon the idea of the falsetood of such a life as her brother’s, and had resolutely resolved to invade his pulpit and make him show his hand. Tut ard myself were equally afraid for Tilton family’s sake. So Mr. Tilton went one nignt t the house of Mrs. Phelps, in 23d street, and estioned Mrs. Hooker a: to her intentions ir this respect. She declared that she woul: ‘bring Henry to the pillory on his own pulpit. ‘Then,’ said Mr. Tilton, ‘I shal! make an equal hentic charge agatn’ n, Mee and he pamed the specitication, “Tins Mrs. Hooker's mouth When Henry Warc her bag heard Tilton had done this he ap. ed big decision and sui It strack m with horror that & clefgyman could be willing to have his own sister charged with adultery t cover hie persous! shame. Observe again,” said Mr ton, “how Mr. Beecher is ruining the intellect of Mrs Tiltof into contempt. The sawe woman whom he cails in spir.tual love-letters ‘a saint beloved ef God; a comfort to the mind and the soul.’ Nothing will stand betwean him and the miser- able life be must hereafter lead of self-enjoy- ment onthe faith and weakness of Plymouth Church. Elizabeth has made every siruggle tc save him consistent with ber own character. viper on the hewsth. He wants his $field and his Deighdor’s lam? ¥ She heard the It was ry of adultery from Mrs. talk among us ail. At my re tolerance of her nature, she kept & funeral bier. Beecher speaks of her as reviving his faith in woman's nature. She saw him in those half genuine bursts of remorse and she advised him to go like & man of sorrow and confers. e said Your better life will then come out; you will be more usefal if more humble. Preserve vour reality; perform the truth; then nothing can harm yon.’ Once or twice he thought he would do ao, bat he was too weak. [ft he had, the agony of terror woald have been over long ago. He not only could not be the map but I believe he renewed the correspondence.” “Did Mr Beecher,” asked Gath, “ever make yon the custodian of more than one of his ivt- ters in general?” “Yes, sir; he advised with me about the man- ner of his life and parish. Hesatd to me twice, ‘Can we be safe selling Plymouth church pews this year?” meaning would the scandal hang over another year. He also ad as to the expediency, in the « scandal, of buying more ground for tie exten- sion of Plymouth church, and leavin: for Eu rope. I exhorted against it, sayin: : “If you leave here this thing may burst aud banizb you.” L stelidly adyised Bim io woric as} did car. Beecher said: +I attend with greater oo folness than ever to your ministerial duti keep up your pastoral work. Devotion wili give you sounder sleep aud & greater heart.
