HE SCANDAL The Courts Must Decide the Question. 2 MOULTON TO VISIT GENERAL BUTLER, LETTER FROM DR. BACON. ‘The Beecher-Tilton Scandal at last appears to have exhausted itself, 80 far as any manifestation ef public opinion im regard toit is concerned. People are now becoming convinced that the late report made by the Investigating Committee ‘was merely the sequel that was intended to be ‘veached at the time the committee was ap- pointed, and that as the conclusion they arrived at was what was expected under the circum- stances, they now evince a disposition toawait the result of the more impartial and decisive action Mxely to result from the oficial inquiry to be con- ucted before tne properly constituted legal tri- une of the courts, There is now exhibited on all Sides S86 much diversity of opinion, when- ever the subject is broached, as w the @atls or innocence of the parties concerned, as there ever was, and whenever the Beecher- ‘Tilton matter is brought up tne partisans of each of the principal actors in the scene, or rather Scenes, are. as equally divided as they ever were. 48a general rule, however, public interest ap- ears to be fast waning, and yesterday there g@eemed to be but little disposition to refer to ‘the question in any way. MUTUAL MOULTON MIGRATES, On inquiry yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr. Frank Moulton, on Remsen street, the HIBBALD representative was informed that ‘our ‘Mutual friend” had !ert the cliy, but tor what part she country. no information could be obtained. it was, however, learned from another source that Mr. Moulton has gone to Rhode Isjand, with the tmvention of quietly stealing @ march on to Massa- chusetts and paying a visit to General Benjamin F. Butler, to consuit with him in regard to his Hse dl statement, which is to be ready for pub- tion in the HERALD on Friday next unless some ‘@nioreseen complications arise to bring about a further delay. Dr. Bacon Explains. ‘The Independent will publish to-day the following Jetter from Leonard Bacon, D.

How ago I frat heard the stories “surpassing fabie” which make up the great scandal I cannot tell without referrin; Shey exist, are bot just now within my reach.

Wiil this high toned gentieman, whose ‘‘eye beams keen with bonor,”’ vindicate his honor by bringing a ecuser to answer before a jury? How can he? “Where will he find a judicious and honorable coun- sellor at law wno will advise bim to do so? Of course, I put this question witaout knowing that he hag not already paid the retaining fee, or even that the most eminent criminal lawyer in Mass achusetts bas not already advised bim to do just the thing which I think a sagacious and honoravie counsellor would advise iim not to do. Ohserve the situation. Mr. Beecher charges this man with having been for years the chief actor ip a base conspiracy. HE TELLS A STORY very dishonorable to the ocouspirators, yet not very creditavie to his own discretion, and not in- eredibie, all things considered. Ii he tells the troto, “Frank Moulton” tsa bad map. But if Mr. Beecher’s story is not true, what iollows?

According to his own atory not less than according to Mr. Beecher’s he deserves the reprobation and scorn of atl honest mep, though he seems too deficient in moral sense to know it, In each of the two stories there is an spparent conspiracy. The one is against Mr. echer's peace of mind, against his reputation, Cyr his usetulness, agaiust bis iamuily, against the church of which he is the honored minister. It involves @ conspiracy against a weak ana heip- Jess Woman, to disgrace her and her children, and to make her life intoleravie. It has proceeded, it 4g alleged, so far as to extort money from Mr. Beecher's gushing sympathy with aman whom he Dad befriended, but who bad ruined himself oy his iperadicavie folly.

Mrs. Henry Wara Beecher arrived here to-day from New York, accompanied by Mr. Henry M. Cleveland and his wife, Mr, Beecher was much pleased and affected by the arrival of his friends, who, of course, appeared to him as messengers of peace and respite from anxiety and care. Mr. Cleveland was a member of the recent Plymouth Church Investigating Committee, and | his visit may have some importance not apparent to the casual observation of the public, or it may be simply one of congratulation, AMUSEMENTS. Central Park Garden Concerts. Homann’s “Hungarian Suite,” with its strange | themes and quaint instrumental coloring, has be- come such a favorite at Central Park Garden that Mr. Thomas is obliged, by the desire of bia patrons, to place it quite irequently on the programme. It was superbly played last night. Schubert’s “Fier a Bras” overture is also very popular this summer, and with the ‘Francs Juges” overture o! Beritoz a8 a foil, it was received last evening with genu- ine expressions of gratification. An agreeable surprise on the bill wae the magnificent finale to the third act of “Don Carlos,” one of Verdi's most ambitious efforts. Thurs- | day evening wiil be devoted to that sweet child of song, Mendelssohn, and selections Jrom ois best works will be reece. The entire music to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” two symphonies, an octet anda horn quartet are on the bili. Such a wreeth of true poems has rarely graced the stage of any concert hall. With such matchless interpreters as the orchestra of Theo- dore Thomas the Mendelssohn night cannot help beimg an occasion of unalloyed pleasure. On September 10 Mr. John Koch, the energetic manager of Ventral Park Garden, whose efforts in behalf of the numerous visitors to this popular re- sort have tended greatly to increase their sense of enjoyment of the music, takes a benefit, which de- serves to be a crowded one, not only on account of the fine progresimis prepared for the occasion, but also ag a token of public appreciation of the suc- cessful manager of the garden during the seven years of Thomas’ concerts, Musical and Dramatic Notes.

ELS TREE ONS THE LATE MARK SMITH. Memorial Meeting Yesterday Afternoon at Booth’s Theatre—Tribute to the Memory of the Deceased Comedian. Yesterday afternoon there assembled at Booth’s Theatre an unusually brilliant company, com- prised of actors, artists, playwrights and the diiettantt generally, the occasion being a meeting to take action in regard to the death of the late lamented Mark smith, Among those present were John Brougham, Lester Wallack, John McCullough, J. L. Toole, | George Clarke, William Florence, Charles Gayler and Thee. Moss, . In opening the meeting Mr. Palmer proposed Lester Wallack as chairman, a motion which was seconded and unanimously carried, On assuming the chair Mr. Wallack said he had known Mark Smith, whose death had called the meeting to- gether. He had known him in other conditions than that of actor; he had nad bis sympathy as a friend ; he had admired him as @ tather and hon- ored im as @ husband and @ gentieman. He at. one time had professional and business relations with him, but they were all tempered with the genial influence of Mark’s good nature, and lost their prosy business aspect. He would leave the eulogy on Mark’s memory to abier and more elo- quent tongues, Beiore resuming his seat Mr. Wallack read the Dames of the following gentlemen, whom he pro- po-ed as vice presidents and secretaries:— VICE PRESIDENTS, Joe Jefferson, J. J. O'Kelly, John Brougham, A. M, Palmer, Kawin Booth, Barney Williams, Charles Fisher, William Winter, John Gilbert, Max Maret- zek, H. D. Palmer, Dion Boucicauit, H. 0, Jarrett, Ww. Florence, Charles Thorne, Sr., John McCullough, J.C, Heywood, Wilnam Davidge, William Stuart, Max Strakosh, SECRETARIES, A. VU. Hall, Char! Gayler, G. H. Howes, J. H. Hager, F. ¥F. Mac! , James Schonberg, George Clarke, W. L. Floyd, George Colby, Theo, Moss, Sol. Ktynge, Jr., Johu Purcell Sha Uhaties W. Brooks. ‘he gentlemen Named were unanimously chosen. Mr. Wallack introduced Mr. Charlies Brooks, who paid a touching tribute to the memory of the dead comedian. Its melancholy spirit was happily re- heved by the briditaus periods in which the indulged, In Soreont his remarks Mr. Ks sald :—He (Mark) stood before the footlights and amused us until Time struck the arop-bell and Death let tall the curtain.” ; JUDGE CARTER, OF CINCINNATI, OHO, Was next introduced, and read a biographical sketcu which was full of incidents relative to the early life of Mark. Strange as it may seem, there was nothing gloomy about the meeting, Mayhap e surroundings had to do with the applause which at frequent intervals broke forth during the speeches of the two gentlemen just mentioned. Everything happy that was said was received with demonstrative recognition. But not until the Rev. Mr, Houghion’s letter was read did the feeling of the audience reach its acme, When Mr. Wallack pronounced the words “pastor of our little church around the corner,” thunders of ap- piause broke forth. The letter was one of con- dolence with the profession at the loss they nad sustaimed, and it contained a clipping 1n poetry, which Mr, Wallack requested Mr. Clarke io read,’ The poem was one most apposite to the occasion, and the reading heightened its effect. Mr, Jobn Brougham was introduced and read a set of resolutions whion haa been adopted by the Lotos Club, 1m reference to the death of Mi Smith, The resolations were leit with the Secre- tary, A. O, Hail. Aletier {rom Olive Logan was also read. She had seen Mark sbortiy bejore he died, and told of bow ae had expected to 2 | New | amusements by one Shapter and one Camobell; that on |, gud gyrations of '@ certain, combination of motions the coming winter; of how hts hope never left him until bis tite went out. Mr. J. H. Warwicu, who made his debut the same night Mark first appeared at the ‘Old Bowery,” told @ few anecdotes of bis iriend, all of which ponies to the generous inciinations for which ark was notorious. ‘The foltowing resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted :— Whereas, In the wisdom and love of God—which, whether Wb: of whether it afflict, we but dim}; understana and can uever {athom—our’ beloved rie and comrade, Mark mith, has been taken trom the lite of this world into the lite thet is eternal: and we, bis friends, members of the amid our personal sorrow under a bitte and affiction are mindful that in the death of Mark Smith, the profession which he adorned and this com- munity, which he so often charmed and benefited, have sustained @ loss so grievous and extraordinary thai some fering! cocamecacraten ie itought to be made; were- fore, Resolved, That while we bow in humble reverence be- fore the awful will of Heaven—striving to keep in mind the belief that alt things are ordered for ihe best yet deplore. in this death, the loss of one of the best and Gearest of our fraternity, In the removal of whom from the scenes of his usefulness and irom our companionship we feel the pangs of » calamitous and overwhelming ction. Resolved, That we remember Mark Smith as one who wore with ‘singular purity and honor the noble name of gentleman, whose characier was lovely in Its simplicity | &nd modest worth, whose life was virtuous. whose mind ‘Wan well stored, whose talents were unusual and bril- liant, and were always used for good and never for evil, and who did his duty faithfully, thoroughly and cheer- fully, under every condition that wax laid upon him. Resolved, That when we recall Mark smith an actor we think of one who loved. his profession with all his heart and served it with all his strength, whose ver- satility aud thoroughness were ¢xtraordinary, who en. riched the stage with many delightful personations af humorous and eccentric character and who was especi- ally noble and imprgssive in parts emblematic of maniy worth, hut sentiment, rosy aod jolly humor a1 i egrs ita; hat eapec tay ip his public career and his rivate walks and ways, Mark Smith illustrated an in- Grity of principle that never swerved, and a gentle- ness of life that never tired, setting, while he lived, an gry rH ‘of bonor and goodness and learning, now that he is dead, the memory of a character and @ career that were founded on justice and kindness and hallowed by virtue, humanity, charity and genial good fellowship. Resolved, That’ we deeply sympathize with the af- flicted wife, children and relatives of the deceased actor, commending them to seck comfort as we do, in the thought of bis goodness and of the universal esteem in | which he was held and m which he is remembered, and to rest with patient trust upon the Divine will. Mr. Wallack appointed the Vice-Presidents and Secretaries as a committee to make arrangements for the reception of Mr. Smith’s remains (which are to be buried irom “The Little Church Around the Corner”’), and the meeting adjourned. THE METROPOLITAN RAID. Arraignment of the Cancan Dancers Before Judge Morgan at Jefferson | Market—They Are All Discharged—The Proprietor Unly Held for Examination, As early as nine o’clock yesterday morning Jefferson Market court room was packed with people of both sexes, the male sex, however, pre- dominating. The sidewalks in the vicinity of the court were also thronged, and at least two thou- sand persons were in and around the place at hal!- past nine. Officers Curtis and Ferguson were sta- surging crowd from taking foscible possession of | the court room, and it required all tne efforts | Of these officers, together with the remainder of the squad, to keep the passageway clear. The occa- sion of the unusual assemblage was the expected arrival of the parties arrested by Captain Wiliams and his subordinates at the Metropolitan Theatre on the previous night. At ten o’clock two of the Metropolitan Hotel coaches drove up to the rear entrance of the court room on Greenwich avenue, and from these vehicies stepped forth some seven- teen women and ten men. They were the female ballet dancers engaged at the theatre and the male performers, who go through the gen- eral variety yusiness earried on at the above mentioned establishment, They were all ushered into the examination room by some ten police officers, and were provided witn seats until the arrival of Judge Morgan, who soon made his appearance after the discharge of the watch in the court room proper. As soon as Judge Morgan took his seat the proprietor of the theatre, Samuel Shapter, and the Hee Martin Campbell, were formally arraigned, charged by Captain Wi)- liams with Keeping a disorderly house. The fol- lowing affidavit, upon which the warrant for their arrest was granted, was then produced :— City ond County of Kee York, #.:—Alexander & Wil- Mame, a captain of the Pollce Department, of the city of ‘ork. being duly sworn, deposes and says:—That on and prior'to the 2th day of August, 1874, the premises known as No. 585 Broadway, in the said city of New York, were kept and used for lewd and obscene. public and prior to said 29th day of Atgust said named prem- ises or Dortions thereof were Kept and conducted under the nanie and style of the Metropolitan Theatre by the Campbell as a place for the ex- said Shapier and said \ | Ribition” of theatrical and other — performances, by men and women, tor the amusement and entertainme eople dwelling nt of | the Sng sojourning in sald city.

ALEX. 8, WILLIAMS, Counsellor Hummel, who appeared -for the pris- | onérs, listened to the charge made, and asked that | ail the performers should be discharged, as they ! were merely employés of Shapter, and were | guiltless of any crimmal intent, and had not the slightest conception that they were violating the law. Counsel also requested that the examination should be set down for some future day, when the ‘merits of the case could be more fuliy gone into. | He contended that the Eiko g complained of were nducted in @ duly licensed theatre, in a pertectly legitimate manner; and, In conciusion, repeated bis request that all the actors and em- ployés of Mr. Shapter be discharged, The manager, Mr. Martin Campbell, as well as he, was | imply acting for Mr. Shapter at a stated salary. Alter hearing counsel Judge Morgan paid i@ had no desire to hold any one but the _ proprietor, and peat i five minutes alter the grand entrée the male ani female performers were on their way home and the curious crowd dispersed, having seen very little for their trouble. Mr. Shapter was hela mn 500 ball to appear for examination in Special Sessions court room on Wednesday, the 9th inst., Judge Morgan, in an informa! manner, telling Mr. Shapter that he would hold nim ander his jurisdic- tion until his case was finally disposed of, a though he would allow him to open the theatre, the performance therein must be compauible with public decency and decorum.
