SARATOGA RACES, Second Day of the Second Summer Meeting. | M’DANIEL’S STABLE BEATEN. GOVERNOR BOWIE A WINNER. Stampede Wins the Kenner Stakes, Fellowcraft the Dash of a Mile and a Half and Catesby the Dash of a Mile anda Qcarter, SaBatoca, August 11, 1874, It is remarked of our American turf races that they are not suficiently swift in interval, that the spectators lag on the stage and look out ona green field, secing nothing except an interlude without @ poem. This Is the case just now at Saratoga. There sre some very good horses here, but, all in all, it takes, between the timidity of stablemen and the want of a large field, a good while to give ashow. Indeed, there ts not yet enough capital in the turf to enliven the per- formance, A bold match, an occasional champion dash, & long gallop between the kings of two gteat stables may attract a crowd; but while the @udiences this summer are very large there is most frequently beard on the grand stand a lady’s sigh, “Ob, when shall we bave the race begin?” However, tiere was 4 large audience and many winners were to start. The interest cen- tred in the horses Wanderer, Katie Pease, Acro- Dat, Reform and Fellowcrait, The usual large turnout took place, but the pool stands drew less Money, and there were perceptibly more people im the town preferring the lounge on the plazzas to the suspense of the racing. When the turf comes to ita full proportions in America we shall start fifty instead of twenty racers a day and take leas time about It. Said Judge E, R. Hoar, of Massachusetts, wno is nere making @ government ‘for thé District of Co- jumpia:—“There are more lazy men and women within a quarter of a mile square than at apy spot besides in the world,” “What kind of government shall you give Wash- ington city, Judge Hoar?” “4 hope, at least,” said the Judge, ‘‘a simple one, the less the better. We do not require a Lord Mayor of London, to spend lavishly in entertain- ments. We need for Washington a simple New England town government, to be managed at fair salaries and for long or perpetual terms by simple, careful, austere men. Judge Hoar, as also Senator Anthony, expressed the opinion that General Grant-would disappoint suspicion by refusing any proposition of a third term, ‘That there are flatterers and parasites around him who press him to take the contrary view, Lhave no donbt," he said; “but he has a Way to speak at the right time to men’s surprise,” Senator Anthony confirmed these views. “Grant 1s too smart to throw his reputation away on such a venture,” he said. Tne club house stood in the low, marshy place next the Congress Spring, the Leone House of Usher. By day it appears obscure, by bight mysterious, except when the pool seller to a gaping crowd knocks down horse after horse at @ supposititious valuation of his worth. Beyond 18 the house of Morriesey’s partner, Reed, with statues life size of gladiators and Apollos on the lawn. Then come the suburbs, the stables and the track, and the pretty audience, like a fower bed, spread out In the sight of the landacape. DOWN ON THE TRACK was Speaker Blaine and the great Shaw, known as “Nestor.” Shaw bad Jearned five minutes vefore the manner of playing French pools and was now explaming it with the confidence of Green, the reformed gambler. The Speake» listened with awe, wondering whether they would make up French mutuels for the next Presidential race and whether he would be the favorite, I sl.pped down to the Speaker to say a word on the Beecher-Tilton scandal. “abl? gaid he, “not even a holy man should write letters. Figures can lie; letters never. ‘They are queer letters to explain.” ‘The first race was for three-year-olds, the stake about $4,200—no petty sum, for many of these racers can be bought alter the race for avout $200. There were Rutherfurd, Acrobat, Stampede and Reform. The race was fair, not very equally con- tested; for what people supposed the best horse | was badly worsted by what some supposed an un- | lucky one. Stampede, the winner, is the property of a bright young Southern journal who bas attended for Years to sporting matters and finally become tne Official starter at all the great meetings of the country and Secretary of the Metairie Course at New Orleans. He is a native of Missouri, served m the Union army as an officer, and is the husband of tne former Miss Webb, @ young, celebrated and beautiful actress. He toox this fine horse, at great expense, from New Orieans to Memphis, Nashville and Ciucinpati, but owing to bad riding and temporary iliness at the wrong time, Stampede never won until to-day.

IT COMPROMISE ? What Was Known in Brooklyn Yesterday of the Scandal, Cariboo MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE. Interviews with Mr. Tilton’s House- keeper and Mr. Storrs’ Cook. THE FEELING IN BROOKLYN. There could be no possibility of mistaking the popular feeling in Brooklyn yesterday, attendant upon the publication of the result of Frank Moul- ton’a long looked for appearance before the Plymouth church investigating committee. The expression upon every side, high up and lowdown the ranks of life, was one of extreme disaypomnt- ment. Society felt that it had been slighted in its justly based expectations of evidence from the lips of the one man who held the key that could alone anloek the mystery, by proving or disproving the awful charge which has been laid at the door of she pastor of Plymouth church, ‘Religion,’ as expressed by ® clergyman, “had groaned long enough under the weight of infamy which had been heaped upon the shoulders of a great teacher,” and the effect of failure to dispel the doubt which existed as to the purity or impurity of 80 prominent @ pulpit orator could not but be a powerful weapon in the hands of those who scoff at truth and Scriptural teaching.” The scandal was discussed in all its bearings and the mys- ‘terious influences, which have been said to have been at work during the tnterval that has elapsed since the return of Mr, Moulton to Brooklyn on Jast Wednesday morning, were noted and com- Mented upon. The fact of the frequent consulta- tions that have taken place between the latter gentieman and his adviser, Generg! Butler; the remarkable frequency of the night and day inter- views between Mr. Tilton, his counsel, samuel D. Morris; General Tracy, counsel for Mr. Beecher and District Attorney Winslow was construed, and truly, judging from the present view of the feld, not without some reason, as indicative of the recognition of tne white flag on the battlements of Plymouth, It was the prevailing opinton tnat the multi/arious and complex influences which had been brought to bear upon the “mutual” reposi- tory who holds THE EBY TO THE MYSTERY nad told, and that ne had been prevailed upon to sheath the rusty blade of anger in the mouidy scasbard of friendship, The annoyance caused him by that last letter irom Mr. Beecher demanding the surrender of the letters confided to him to the commitiee had disappeared, through timely explanation, before his appearance in the committee hall, im Monroe. place, on Monday evening. A change had come over his feelings, the winds of summer sighing have breathed peace. Mutual friendship is mighty, and must prevail, So it was proved that, as stated 10 the HkRaLD of yesterday, he had little more to give the committee than was already known to the world in the way of weaving links for the chalo of evidence. Whispers of ® most liberal administra- tion of white wi were audible yesterday, and it was delleved that a happy dénouement was at hand, wherein the scene would be located in Ply- mouth. ‘The Beecher selectmen, including the District Attorney of the county of Kings, would kneel down before the d and the pastor would biess them, saying, “Well done, thon good and falthfal servants,” whereupon they arise to their feet ané receive the warm embraces of their co- laborers in that vineyard. But without the ale of that stronghold of the accused and, it may calumniated pastor, there stand many millions oi men, Women and y people wno wili ques- tiom the Meaning of this rcene. ‘What have these triers of Mr, Beecher done to deserve so much Diessing at the hauds of their pastor ? ieee, aie The question which they closed and declared set- tied ia still an opem question 1n our eyes, and the Inaue remains ea before.” The committee sitting with closed doors; giving garbled statements now afd tnen, when it suited their views, pein ape are refusing to ac- cept testimony in lnstances; their peculiar line of examination, and, more than all, the lact that the examiners were appointea by the man whose actions they are reviewing—all would have a very depressing effect upon the effort to obtain weight and respect for the result of their deliberations. It will, therefore, be readtly perceived that while Mr. Moulton has relieved nis mind of the burden of reluctaat compliance with the request of the committee, supported by the letters of invitation of Beecher and Tilton, to state allooncerning the case, that he has not relieved the public mind upon the scandal. In other words, he has done more injury than good to the cause of Mr. Beecher, a circumstance which Theodore Til- ton admitted when he sald yesterday to a reporter, “1 Frank Moulton told the truty he confirmed statement, He couldn’t do anything else.” And now that tire statement, or rather the document- ary evidence alluded to by Tilton in his accusatory paper has been placed in the hands of the commit- | teemen, why do they withhold it from the public | eye, which is dilated to the fullest extent in en- deavoring to decipher the full purport and mean- ing of these mysterious letters of apology for the Greatest injury that one Man can commit against another? ik Moulton'says “there are reasons | Which, to them, seem food, but be. was not dis- posed to state them.” it ma: Ment will be withheld so that tbe letters may be given to the public in conjanction with REV, HENRY WARD BEECHER'S BXPLANATION | thereof, This interpretation of the reason jor the circles yesterday as the correct one. tnat District Attorney John Winslow, who was | placed in charge of the statement by his fellew | Beecher committeemen, and appointed as a com- | mittee of one to visit Mr. Moulton’s residence and compare the copies of the letters with the originals jn the keeping of that gontieman, uifilied his mts- gion iaithfally yesterday. in the broiling heat of | the noonday sun, with no other shelter save that of a high white hat and a silk umbrella, and firmly grasping the Much coveted and precious scroll ot evidence in his lett hand, he ran the gauntiet of the newspaper men on Remeéen street, and, enter- ing the now well known mansion on the Heights, | set to work. He met there Mr. Tilton, who | was im excellent health and spirits, Tilton mitted that he was ‘‘satisfied with the situa- tion, though he really couldn’t say what particular | occasion he had to be satisfied.” Mr, Tilton re- | mained in company with the “mutual friend” for three hours, dining and wining, and everything went on apparently as in the times gone by, when f°, ner forrible Theodore entertained those whom 0 eateo in THAT “IDRBAL HAPPY goue ofwhich he has 60 oitem spoken.

Frienda of Mr. Tilton have said that they will come forward to his relief if he would pursue such # course, and thus plant him, as it were, upon his feet again. Mr. Tilton ig not known to have yielded to these inducements; but a8 he has not yet carried the case into the courts and seems to be hesitating for vhe moment it is not among the tmprobavilities that he will exercise a sober second thought and thas rob the public of the luxury of a further in- dulgence 10 this first claes sensation, THE STATEMENT OF MR.

He siso has an abiding faith that when the excitement of the hour has away and the public are in a more temperate frame of mina present course will be warmly mdorsed by all who are tamiliar with the importance of the secrets in his keeping. Mr. Moulton will probably lJeave the city within the next twenty-lour hours for the purpose of securing much needed reat ana | recreation. \ THE COMMITTE«’S SESSION LAST NIGHT. The committee’s session last night was brief, and, as far as could be ascertained, unimportant. It was originally agreed to hold an informal meet- ing in order to discuss the future course of the committee m pursuing the investigation, Dut the members alterwards hanged their minds and concluded to hear any wit- nesses wifo might desire to be heard. The first member to arrive was Mr. Sage, who looked benign and good-natured as usual, but was intrenched behind she strongest ramparts of secrecy and refused to say anything about the committee’s doings. ‘‘When would Mr. Beecher be examined?” “When would the inves- tigation be closed?’ These and all sim. } ilar questions remamed unanswered, Messrs. Winsiow and Cleveland were the next two who arrived, and they were equally reticent. By this time the approach to the house was almost rendered impassable by the throng of reporters who were swarming on the éidewalk. As soon as @ member made his appearance they would suddenly dart forward, surround him and ask the usual questions, whlch, however, were asked in vain in almost every instance. Reportorial curiosity was at its height when, at about hall-past eight, a tall, slim gentleman, with dark beard, arrived with a petite and rather fash- ionably dressed lady, who was closely veiled ana succeasiully defed all attempts at recognition. They were immedietely sdmitved* by Mr. | Storrs himself, whose smooth, huge-jowled face might be seen every now and then a8 he opened the door. Mr. Storrs was seen tu shake the lady cordially by the hand. All at once a number of jokes were started by the reporters. Who could the lady ber Nobody Knew her. Somebody said, laughingly, that rhaps she was Mr. Beecher in disguise, The mystery seemed unfathomable until Mr. Storrs’ cook, a buxom and jolly female, came out to get a breath oft iresh air. One of the reporters immediately proceeded to interview her, and she informed him | that this was to be the last session of the commit- tee at Mr. Storrs’ residence, and that Mr. Beecaer would probably read his statement at his own house. However, she did not care much about these things, she said, as she was a Catholic, and among the Catholics ‘auch thingr did not occur.’” Messrs. Tracy and Hill arrived at about nine o'clock and rushed past the reporters as fast as their legs could carry them. ‘Not a thing, boys,’ was all the iniormation they vouchsaled | jto the thirty representatives of the | press, who were obstructing the sidewalk. The committee acjoufned at alate pour, maintaining | their peraistent reserve as to what had nappene witbln, They will, provably, bold another session | jody Dd it is not yet definitely settled whether | Mr. Beecher will give hts statement on this occa- Bion, If he does, 1t will probably be kept secret. CARD FROM FRANK CARPENTER. a LD The calor partes, she destardly betrayal of sammie e chief par' oO nnd ton, and’ the with Walch Beechers and Tilton’s case was for them, quite exceedin, their own discretion, the difference in the motive and manner of the Génouement, the difference in the popular effect in one case and the probable popular effect in the other, are all striking, MR. TILTON’S LAST COUP. Mr. Tilton remained for the greater part of the day at his house yesterday. In the morning he Vigited Judge Morris, and there, to his great hor- Tor, he encountered avout nineteen reporters, all of whom made a dead rush at him with the not unusual query, “Mr. Tilton, can I see you for @ moment?” Mr. Tiiton has, on an average, been interviewed half a dozen times a day since the exe citement about this scandal began, and he goode humorediy and skilfully parried all questions. | Judge Morris was then chosen as the next victim of reportorial enterprise, and he, of course, de- clared that there was absolutely nothing new under the sun—whtch he could tellof, In response to surther questions of tne reporter, he replied by making various witty observations upon the state of the weather, and they were finally compelled to withdraw without a single item of news. Judge Morris only said that be probably would return vy Saturday or Monday, and that this trip nad noth- ing whatever to do with the scandal. Mr. Tilton’s last coup is one of uo little impor. tance. It was understood yesterday that the cor- respondence between Mr. and Mrs. Titton from 1864 to 1871 would be in all probability pub- lished to-day in the Chicago frivune. It would geem rather strange that this correspondence should not have been first given to some New York paper, but Mr, Tilron’s action in this matter is expisined by the fact that the Chicago Tribune has been his steaay and persevering friend, de- fending his conrse and apholding bis character. ‘These letters—it ts claimed by Mr. Tilton—snow the existence of the most cordial and affectionate re- lations between Mr. and Mrs. Tilton. The lette! ecially those of Mrs. Tilton, are claimed to be love letters of the most ardent and fervent description, and it istmtended t prove that there was no change in the tone of Mrs, Tilton’s letters to her nusband until after the date of the alleged confes- sion Written in July, 1870. Mr. Titon, in gt a copy of this correspondence first to # Chicago 4 Be thinks be has revenged himself on the New ‘ork press, of Whose adverse attitude he has 60 bitterly complained, He attaches no little importance to this last great coup ol The letters, of course, are not printed in jalL All passages referring to private @nd home matters, and which have no bearing upon the present controversy, have been pur- posely omitted. Mr. Tilton’s friends consider tnat the effect of this publication will be perfectly crushing, more especially as one of the levters of Mrs. Tilton was alleged to contain an open avowal of her love for Mr. Beecher. Mr. Titton himseit wore such & confident, buoyant air yesterday that there seems to be no doubt as to bis own hopes in Tezard to the effect of this correspondence. “Lf was born for war,” he once said before the [nves- ligating Committee, and he evidently means to keep the fight up. A VOICE FROM TILTON’S HOUSE- HOLD. A HeRaLp reporter called yesterday afternoon at Mr. Tilton’s houge ia Livingston street. Mr. Tilton was not af home, but a good natured, matronly woman answered the bell. In the course of @ somewhat protracted conversation, it ap- peared that she took charge of the house during Mr. Tilton’s absence, and had lived with Mr. and Mrs, Tilton for many years. She seemed to be an honest, frank woman, who would be glad to tell the truth. She was asked as to the rumored reconciliation of Mr. and Mrs. Tilton, and replied that, to her, as an old friend and confidant of the family, who knew both parties intimately, such a result seemed scarcely possibile. She denied that Mr. Tilton had ever intended to give ap his house to Mra. Tilton betore this matter had been de- cided. Mr. Tilton’s business, at present, would make it very imconventent for him to go to a hotel, and he could therefore notsign the deed until their future relations had been finally established by a satisfactory settlement of this question. She thought that Mr. Tilton had always been a most kind, toving husband to Mrs. Tilton, and char- acterized her statements as Lo his aileged bratality as talse. “She always bad all she wanted,” she said, in an outburst of honest indignation, “and all he was able to give her. Why, it’s perfect nonsense ior | her to say that be made her so miserable. J have always seen her in the happiest frame of mind until, until—a certain period. Every one who came here can tell you how happy she aud her children were.” When asked whether Mrs, Tilton had still free access to the nouse, she said “Yes, she can come here any time she likes. She ts periectly weicome.” She added that it was not trae that Mrs, Tuton had been debarred from the use of any articles in the house which she might desire, On the contrary, she could have anything sne liked by | simply asking for it, and when this matter had once been decided satisfactorily it was probable Irnaca, N.

He reiterated his state- meats in relation to this matter made in nis letter to the Brooklyn Fagle, and says:—These tnter- views with Beecher and Clev a took place | nearly two months before Tilton’s letter to Dr. | Bacon was written, and had reference solely to an increase of capital for the Golden age, When at the second interview with Cleveland he condi- tioned the raising of the money for tue Golden age upon Titon’s going to Europe wiih family for | two years I at once declined any furtner con- sideration of the matter, and since that day held | no conversation with him upon the subject. | Cleveland was my Warm persoual friend, and at | | the time I applied to bim jor an increase of capital for*the Golden Age, lapplied to @ number of other | gentlemen, also personal iriends. ‘Tilton’s letter to Dr. Bacon, as to which the Sun catechises me 80 confidently, was completed and | read to that gentlemian on the 19th day of June, two months siter my interviews with Beecher and Cleveland, The charge that I offered Tilton’s let- | ter to Dr. Bacon, to @ ron, or offered to sup- | press the same for $5, two months before the | letter to Dr. Bacon was written, needs. no other | disproval than the statement of this fact. 1 Low gay explicitly, in answer to all charges ‘and insinu- ations, from any source, that I never offered any | letter or document of any kind concerning this | Unhappy controversy to posbods or offered to sap- | press any letter or documént o/ any kind for any- | | Boay, or for eny consideration whatever, and I in- | vite @ most searching investigation into each and | every act of mine in reference to either o! the par- | ties involved. HAMILTON AND BEECHER. | [From the Springfield Republican.) The concise account, of the Hamilton scandal, ‘whieh we reprinted from the Picayune, the other day, failed to note some striking contrasts and resemblances between that case and the one which now 80 largely occupies the public mind. The licentiousness of Alexander Hamilton was usea against bim by his political antagonists in a most diahonoraple manner. It was @ put-up job irom the beginning, though not primarily for political purposes. The woman went'te Hamilton, craftily arranged the opportunity for wrong-doing and deliberately preserved letters and other proofs, with which & man, representing himself be ner began to biact to him, ‘This was too much for a cabinet | minister on the meagre salary then paid, ana Ham- | outside. that Mr, Tuton would give the hoase to her and her children. Mr. Tilton was a man of honor, and he knew well what was due to his wife and to his children.

Betore leaving the reporter 1aquired if she knew Mrs, Tulton’s whereabouts with any degree of cer- tainty, and sne replied that Mrs. Tilton bad been at her brother’s residence at Montclair, N. J. up to Monday evening. MINOR MOVEMENTS. Genera) Butler was again at Mr. Moulton’s house yesterday morning and was closeted with the “mutual” friend for hours, His advice was ap- parently wanted very badly, for Mr. Mouiton had sent acarriage alter him. At Nineteenth street the driver was lucky enough to meet the General and bis secretary, who were on their way to Brooklyn. They changed carriages and were ériven to Mr. Moulton’s residence, No, 49 Remsen street, The conference was strictly private. District Attorney Winslow was also at Mr. Moul- | ton’s house, so that the “mutual” triend suffered | no Jack of counsellors.
