MR. BEECHER’S LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS. An Outward Serenity and Inward Wor- riment—Alleged Efforts to Smother Fur. ther Disclosures from Moulton and Tilton—The Olive Branch To Be Ten. dered—Moulton Very Busy at the Tre- mont House. Boston, Sept. 4, 1874, Several of the prominent characters in the great national scandal are now sojourning in New Eng- land, and it 1s just barely possible that some of the supplementary scenes of the affair may be enacted here during the next jew days, Mr. Beecher, as {8 well known, is spending his days of vacation up at the Twin Mountain House New Hampshire, far away from the hnorly- burly of city strifes and metropolitan excitement, but brill within convenient communivation with that outside worid which has of late taken such a lively interest in his moral weifare. He gets the daily papers regularly, and of course is not oblivi- ous to current events or the drilt of public opinion, So far as outward appearances are concerned, he is one of THE MOST HAPPY AND SERENE of all the gay guests among the mountain resorts, He mixes in all the social games of the season, and none are apparently more jovial and enter- taming than the distinguished Plymouth pastor, This 1s the story of every one who has come from , the mountains, and the writers for the pr.ss all | agree in denominating him one of the most hilarious visitors Of the season. Whether all this Joliity is real or otherwise is a question which has beon much debated duriog the last few days in a quiet way, Common courtesy and decdudy sinéng | the’ guests of the Twin Mountain Hote! demand that the scandal be ignored in the pariors and halis, but it is a@ notérious fact that the affair is uppermost in the minds oi all, A gertieman who has been a guest there ever since Mr. beecher came, and who is familiar with many of the secrets of tae matter, arrived here this evening, He says that Mr. Beecher is not the gay and lestive pleasure secker which his outward conduct indi- cates, but that, on the contrary, he is GREATLY WORKIED about the issue of the evenis which have so re- cently added to his notoriety. This same gentie- man also asserts that for several days efforts have been made to smother any farther disclosures from Moujton and Liteon, dud that he has no douvt but these efforts will be croyvned with success, \ The triends of Beecher, he says, are the ones who are taking the initial steps in the matter, and Irom the fact that Mr. Cleveland his been with him 8 good ceal during the last few days he in- Jers that he is the man who has been selec: the mediator between Mr. Beecher, Mr. Mouiton and Mr, Tilton. Mr, Beecher, he says, while he is extremely anxious about the result, 1s neverthe- less very reticent and cautious in every move he | makes, and, in jact, 1f is said tnat he has been so radically cautious that the friends whd have, been laboring tu his behalf are disgusted and pos- sibly may become discouraged. Mr. Cleveland was to leave the White Mountains for Boston to-day, but he had not arrived ata late hour this evening. It is probable that he will be here in the morning, and it is the honest beiief ot the gentieman from whom I get the information tuat he comes wich authority to tender the olive branch to Moulton, accepted that Beecier himself wilt come down and ratily it. Moulton is stopping at the ‘remont House, in this city, aud all the aiternoon and evening has been industriousiy engaged with iufimate friends and huge plies of documents, ' Your correspondent called upon him, but he said he Wad {00 busy j1St at: this time to grant an in- terview. Besides Mr. Moultoi therd kre also: stveral others sojourning at the Tremont who ' have been more or less identified with the scaudal, | and they all appear to be most industriousiy em- | ployed in maiters of more than ordinary conse- quence, Whether or not the surinised conference will result in peace or not itis pretty evident that tie Beecher Jaction is making an effort in that direction, and that tue matter of @ truce will rest largely witn Mouiton and Tilton. PLYMOUTH PRAYER MiETING, Brother Hill Criticises the Repdrters and | Praises Plymouth People and Pastors. Assistant Pastor S. B. Halliday presided over the exercises in the Plymouth lecture room iast even- ing. The room was about three-fourths filled with people. After a hymn had been sung prayers were offered by Brothers Edgerton, Hill and Sage. Mr. Halliday spoke briefly on spiritua!-minded- ness. Brother Hill then rose and said that false reports of the proceedings in the meeting of tast Friday evening had gone forth, and out of all the | accounts he saw in the newspapers hardly one gave @ correct version of the doings, He wi glad to see tuat the people had controlled th selve so Weil, and it seemed to nim that the spirit of God must have been with them. He did not be- | lieve that there were 3,000 people in any other piace who could have 80 controlled themsetves, As jor their beloved pastor he was very dear to them, and now the question for them to determine was, What the Lord wished them to do to show their gratitude to Him. They should pledge them- selves to work+more earnestly than they haa done, and begin anew. Brief addresses were also delivered by Brothers Garven and White, and the proceedings closed with the benediction, FATAL STABBING, | Desperate Work by Thieves in East Thirteenth Street.
