TILTON’S DENIAL OF THE UPHOL- 8" STORY. The followin; ‘TERER card and affidavit from Mrs. Tilton, containing an absointe denial of th: upboisterer’s story, is published in to-day’s ew York rs: “ The following affidavit was prepared by me and placed in the hands of counsel 1n ex- pectation of an opportunity to present it in court, but no such opportunity having been iven, and affidavits basely ‘false having peen published against me, I now desire to publish this in os | own vindication. “LIZABETH R. TILTON.” Affdavit__Elizabeth R. Tilton, being duly sworn, says as follows:—In the months of September, October and November, 189, I resided with my husband in Livingston street, and I had the entire charge of the household affairs. No person was employed in laying carpets or In attending to any work at the house during those months ex- cept by my direction. I did not employ or authorize the employment of any men named Price or Loader for any work about the house of any kind, nor do I recoilect or believe that any such men were in my house during any of the three months above men- tioned, or in any part of the fall of 1869. Nor to the best of my knowledge and belief were they ever in the house at all any time. I have read in the New York Herald a statement purporting to have been made by aman whom Iam now informed is named Joseph Ladder, to the effect that in the month of October, 1869, while Loader and one Price were worki on the hall stairs, I opened the door to Mr. Beecher; that he seized hold of me, claspet his arms around my waist and kissed me, raising me off my feet, and then walked into the front parlor with his arm around my waist. The whole of this story is utterly false,and none of these events occurred. I annex to this affidavit an extract from a newspaper, containing all the information which I have concerning the statement of this man Loader as to what happened in the house while he says he was there. This nar- rative so far as it relates in any way to Mr. Beecher or myself is utterly false, and the occurrence therein described never took place either in October, 1869, nor at any other lime. There never was any impropriety of coaduct, or any imp.oper relations between Henry Ward Beecher and myself, and al! charges of adultery or improper ‘conduct, or of any attempt dpon his part or mine to have or Solicit any improper or indecoras re- lations or acts are yuterly and absolutely Ise. ‘h iiarit 1, either on the re never was any ac Kk of friendship or atte rt of Mr. Beecher or myself, in the absence of my hust or @ greater degree or dif ent Kind what took place habitually betwee us in the presence of my husband, nor there ever a: at familiarity between Beecher and myself as there was bet) or brother: ss hetwer t parlor was div 'y by glass folding doors, to w : was no key, and which were never locked. These doors would not come closely together, and when they were shut there wi two wide cracks, one between the and the other betw the w: easily see what was parlor: nor was it possible in 1869 or time while I lived in my husband's hous! for any one to look through the eracks be- tween the folding doors without the figure of such person being seen through the giass of the doors from the parior. The front parlor was therefore a place in which no secrecy was possible, and at the same time no one could have approached the folding doors, as the man Price is described as having done without being seen by me from the parlor if I had been there. The sofa close to the front window, and it was my custom always to have the blinds open ail the season of the year referred to, So that passers-by could have seen the sofa from the street. The children of the neighborhood were also accustomed constantiy about our and to run freely over the piazza in + Upon Which the parlor windows opened, and there was not the slightest y for privacy in the front parlor. either from people ontside of the house or from se: vants and children within. It was fr quently the case that quite a number of children were playing upon the piazza in afternoons for a long time without interrup- tion, and {n_ fall view of the parlor. In Oc- tober, 1863, I had no housekeeper, bat had three Servants and a wet-nurse, and a! in the house three children from six years upward, besides my baby, then about fou months old. ail of whom, excepting the bad. were accustomed to go in and out throt the front parlor and library free! housexeeper or any other person paid the bills of work people of any kind employed about the house in the fall of 1563. I paid all suen bills myself. Miss Dennis was not in our house al that time,nor was there any elderly lady in the house who could or would have ‘paid’ for any work done in it, nor indeed was there any elderly lady at all with us during that fall, except occasional vist- tors, none of whom interfered with the fami- ly affairs. No manor men were employed to Jay carpets in our house at any time in Iso. We purchased no new carpets and had no fresh carpets laid down after first moving into our house in 1566, with the exception of a single carpet for one up-stairs room, and in particular no new carpet was laid down on the stairs, and no men were employed upon the work of laying down either new or old carpets on the hall stairs at any time of the year 1869,such work, when it was done at all, being done by women. The only work that was done by men about carpets was the carpet shaking, which was done by aman Wiin Whom [was well acquainted for several ears, and Who Was HOt oue of the men re- ferred to in the annexed newspaper article.

But, notwithstanding this high es. timate, I assure the organ, and all ouhers alike exercised, that there is not one being in all this broad’ land to whom I hi written, spoken, oreven hinted, th sired, hoped, expected, or intended to be a candidate. I assure them, too, that I have been so ni discourteous, as not to reply me upor subject these imaginative ou m me so interested in.

Iam surely unconscious of any such purpose, I have seldom obtruded my’ opin- ions upon the President,and whenever I made suggestions it has been because I religiously believed that what I deferentially suggestel would be for the credit of his administration the success of the party and the good of the nation. MY OPPOSITION TO THE THIRD TERM FOLLY has been construed too in opposition to the President. But nothing is more untrue. When I saw that issue raised and presset With such disastrous effect upon the party by adroit representation of its enemies, I took early occasion to say to Umid friends that there was no real danger, that it was contrary to the settled convictions and tradi- tions of the people, and that they would elect no man President for a third term. I was actuated by no hostility to the Presi- dent, nor by favor to any one desirous of | ing his suecessor. I deemed the proposition, by whomsoever favored, quiteas fatal to the republican party as would have been a propo- | sition to amend the constitution so as to elect & President for life. Having opposed the poliey Of reconstruetion when a opted, itis not surprising that the organ sees litie orno progress in the southern states, and that It criticises me for expressing the opin- jon that there has been progress, and Liat there isa better feeling than heretofore. 1 examined with some care THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE SovTd, with all the mistakes and corrupt practices. I saw progress slow, but I think sure. In spite of all untoward influences there is un- questionably a kindlier and better feeling pervading the south. I pity the head of that man Who does not sce and comprehend it, and the heart of him who does not acknow!- edge, bajl and welcome it with gratitude to God and with hope for humanity and the netion. The sin for which I am now so sharply rebuked by — self-con- stituted censors Appears not to be un- faithfulness to the republican platform and organization, but my continuous efforts to win back to the republican ranks honest men who still adhere to the republi- can faith.
