The situation and opinion touching the scandal ase remained unchanged yesterday. There were mo new characters brought upon the stage nor ‘Was @ novel phase presented. The excitement has ‘evidently subsided, or, in other words, the commu- mity has become so completely satiated with the subject that there appears to be a general desire | to keep cool and exercise patience until the man | u -Of mystery, Mutual Moulton, may condescend to | go before the Plymouth church investigating com- mittee ana tell a he knows. When this 18 done Mr. Beecher will present his statement and testify before the committee, and the world will then be enabled to judge between the innocence or guilt of the distinguished accused, It isdeemed scarcely | probable that MR, BRECHER’S STATEMENT will be made public this week. Rev. Dr. Storrs Will doubtiess testily before the committee termi- wate their deliberations, A relative of Mr. Beecher, a gentleman who did not wish his name © be published, in speaking of the apologetic let- ters of the pastor to Moulton and Tilton yesterday, claimed that no one could read these letters, in ‘view of the real facts in the case and of Theo- Gofe’s own statement, and fail to perceive that adultery had nothing to do with the matter, “Mr. Moulton,” said the gentleman referred to, nas de- clared to Rev. Mr. Halliday and others Mr. Beecher’s innocence of any crime; and in his pres- ence Mr. Hailiday took down his affirmations in writing. Among other expressions written down Was the following:—‘I know more of thia mat- ter than any other man, and I know Mr. Beecher ts innocent,’ Ail this will appear in the evidence which the investigating committee ‘Will in good time present to the public through the jaa if any combination has been entered into tween Frank Moulton and Mr, Tilton to ruin Henry Wara Beecher, he would be the £ lain of the two. Though it might possibly go hard with Mr, Beecher,” the speaker said, “there 1s evi- dence to be produced that even Moulton and Til. ton combined could not stand against without entailing ruin upon themselves.” MR. BOWEN, though much sought after, remains at Woodstock, @onn., evidently preferring seclusion and quiet to the charm of journalistic society upon the ques tion of the “day.

BEECHER. The argus yesterday published a fonny interview | with Rev, Henry Ward Beecher, The author of ‘the talk’? in question met the pastor of Plymouth church on the corner of Court and Montague streets on Weanesaay night, and, upon accosting him, the | subjoined dialogue ensued:— “] suppose,” said Mr. Beecher, “you would LIKE TO HAVR ME SAY SOMETHING!” “Weill, Mr, Beecher, it Would aford me profound | pleasure to record anything you might be pleased to say concerning almost any topic, but | would be concerning yoursell in this scandal matcer.”” Mr. BBECHER—Well, if you want to interview me Come along here, if you are not other- | wise engaged, and | VLL TALK TO YOU. Mr. Beecher then took the reporter's arm and proceeded through the Heights to Mr. Beecher's residence. “By the way,’ queried Mr, Beecher, ‘‘1gn’t there acommitiee of some kind in session somewhere around here’? i REECE SR ay ON ought to know that better than do. M ByRCHER—Oh, not at all; for newspaper men know almost everything, or at east you make peo- pie believe so, 1 am, you know, something of a newspaper Man myself. I always like to meet re- porters.

The first calied upon was the lady who entertatned Mrs, Stanton and Miss Anthony for several weeks inst winter, She is perhaps the most prominent women suf- “You have seen Mrs, Stanton’s statement, I sup- pose?’ said the envoy alter seata were taken and the subject introduced “and 1 am juet as | Ydon't believe Mrs. “Yes,” replied airs, vexed asl can be about it. Stanton ever said what is ascribed to ber. You know how inaccurate some reporters are. I believe they have misunderstood ner.” “You know something of the case?’ “Yes, I have Known of it for years—knew of it a year before Mrs. Woodhull did.’ | “tave you ever heard Miss Anthony say any- thing about ity? “yes, We have talked it over a great many times, I have veen with her, eaten with her, slept with her, She always gave me the impression that there was absolutely no truth in any such charge as Tilton noW makes against Beecher," je ever say that distinctiy?’ “[ don’t think she did in just those words, but the charge, And Mrs. Stanton, too, She always conveyed the same idea to my mind. Aud anotuer | thing Which couvinces me MRS.

She behevea What every other sensible person docs, and $s not jn the slightest tinotored with free love theories, Now she heard this confession, and yet | noon the highest regard for Elizabeth Tilton, the me time insisting that she was a woman of more than oramary. brain. Is that consistent? Do you think it Mrs. Titon had confessed criminal- ity to her, Miss Anshony would have been as ex- travagant in her praise? It don’t seem so to me.”” “it certainly does not seem natural." “No, VU well you. Theodore ran offafter free love ideas, This was belore we knew Mrs. Wood- hull. He told the story to Mrs, Bullard and Mrs. Stanton, just as Mrs. Stanton says. Then afver- ward, when | was in New York, he became ASHAMED OF HIS STORY, and came around to us and said the whole thing originated in Susan’s imagination. Then Mrs, Stanton said, ‘No; you told us yourself, Theodore, and Susan denied it.’ Then he owned up. That much | heard myself,” “You don't beheve Beecher is guilty ?? “No, sir, It’s all a filthy piece of business in which I have not wanted to mix. I did not want to have it hang on to the suffrage movement, and have been trying to shake it oi; but my associa- tion with Mr#, Stanton and these other women has forced @ knowledge of it upon me. I know that, instead of trying to hush the scanda) up, Tneodore Tilton bas poured it into the ears of every old woman that would circulate it. [know this, because Theodore Tilton and his wife have eaten at my table, have slept in this house, He “But as to Mrs. Stanton’s storyt” interjected the envoy. “Ob, yes; 1 must get back to that,” responded the lady, out of breath, “Well, to be specific. Su- gan Anthony could not have revealed a contession of criminality made by Mrs, Tilion to any one—not even Mrs. Stanton. It would have been atro- cious and entirely tne contrary to SUSAN’S NATURE. If such a confession was ever made, it was locked in Susan Authony’s breast, and will remain there ill she dies, Next, i! it was made, she must have lost respect either for her own ideas of marriage or Mrs. Tilton’s intetligence or purity. She did Dot; but, on the contrary, to-day regards all with the highest esteem, Again, if 1¢ was made, Miss Anthony would never have denounced Mrs, Wood- hall as she nas done, time and ti ne aguin in this house. As I said before, either good old Mrs, Stan. von has been incorrectly reported or she grossly mueuuderstood Susan.’ | has retailed bis story right and left.” Yes, I do, and have bad many proots of it, Among other things, he once said Isabelia Hooker first gave him this story. Well, that was proved jaise in this way:—When Mrs, Stanton was out West lecturing, long after Mr, Tilton said that, a! when Mrs, Woodbull was first printing paragraphs in the New York World, sbe made my house her headquarters. All of her letters came here, and she read a good many to me. A number were Jrom Isabella Hooker begging to know what Mrs, Woodhull meant and wanting to know if sie had any rejerence to ‘brother Henry,’ Isabella knew nothing of the scandal except what Mra. Stanton told her. Another thing which makes me believe ‘this statement of Mrs. Stanton’s is not genuine is the way she is made to talk of SAM WILKESON, Now, Sam Wilkeson is her brother-in-law. She thinks the world of him. It is not atall like her toaey anything against him. I don’t believe she MORE TESTIMONY. - The Post and Mail man cailed upon another lady, one long recognized as a leader in journalistic cir- cles, who had been an intimate of Miss Anthony. She confirmed the above statement In every par- ticular; said Miss Anthony never could have made euch assertions to Mrs. Stanton, and she did not believe Mrs, Stanton had been correctly onder- stood. These facts, taken In connection with the agreeable reputation of the Brooklyn Argus, the paper claiming to have interviewed the seas suffragist, will tnduce many people to be- jeve the report bogus.

But such a conclusion, while retaining for Mr. Beecher the respect and | sympathy due to human weakness without turpt- tude, would cut down his position and power as a pastor to second rate, and this, In_ the estimation of other large stuckholders in Plymouth church, would never do.

Fight Between Sheriff Conner and Comptroller Green. THE SHERIFF'S CLAIMS RESISTED. More Suits Threatened Against the City. Interesting Statistics and Figures from the Official Record—Interviews with Sheriff Conner and County Auditor Earle Within the past few years litigation has in- creased in this city to @ considerable extent. It May safely be estimated that ten thousand civil cases are adjudicated yearly in the State courts, and‘) > vumber of citizens interested in the proper and -.. “ly administration of justice, as well aa the varica Interests at stake, may be easily judged from this standpoint, The most important medium of our city govern- ment in carrying out the process and jurisdiction of these courts 18 the Sherift’s office, presided over by William C. Conner, who was elected to that office last fall, The emoluments of this position have been variously estimated at from $100,000 to $400,000 annually. The sources of revenue are specifically regulated by statute, and it is made an indictable offence for any Sheriff to demand or re- ceive emoluments considered extortionate or ille- gal. The Sheriff cap also be impeached or removed by the Governor for cause in the same manner as in similar proceedings instituted against Mayors— our worthy antediluvian Chief Magistrate, Have- meyer, being an example of how proceedings may be instituted in this connection.
