That ; resolution also pretends to confer authority upon the city treasurer to loan the sum of $950, now in the sinking fund, to the mayor for the avove purpose. Now we should be pleased to know whence the Council derives !its authority to tamper with the | sinking fund, which is, by the ex-| | press provisions of the charter, de- voted cxclusively to the redemption the payment of interest thereon.

Tur Nebraska Independents have made their debut upon the political srepa. A handful of these ir pressible reformers met at the State Capital Tuesday for the purpose of incubsting a movement that is to sweep the whole country like a whirlwind. Douglas county was represented by two members of the Ko-op order, and they express im- plicit confidence {hat we shall all have glory yet. —_— Theodore Tiltons revolting revela- tions touching the alleged crimmal intimacy of Henry Ward Beecher with his wife are now before American people. They form a chapter of terrible and crushing ac- cusations, which shock and stagger the most devoted of Mr. Beecher's sdmirers and friends, For the present we prefer to | ‘withold comment upon this greatest of modern seandals until Mr. Be er and his defenders shall pres wversion of the case. Tue Independent movement in Indisna has already fizzled out. The cause of the premature collapse is traced to the unfitness of the lead- ing candidate, the abominable folly of the repudiation plank, and the general lack of confidence in the Bourbon politicians who manipu- lated the convention. Another fa- tal blow to this movement was the nomination, by the Democrats, of two of the most popular candidates on the Independent ticket. That opened the eyes of the be- publican Grangers, and caused them to regard the new party with indif- erence, bordering on disgust. ENGLAND is cursed with corrupt politiciane, as well as America. A few days ago, the cable announc~d briefly that Albert Grant, La 1 Conservative Member of Purlia- ment, had béen unseated for cor- rupt practices, in securing his elec- | tion. This British vietim' of mis- placed confidence, is enormously wealthy. He is a miniatare Jim Fisk, who has made = colossal for- tune, by foisting sham sccurities on the market, and selling corner lots_in -towns laid out on paper, | and by dealing in bygus mining stocks. ‘When the Liberal Ministry went out, Gladstone exercised the Premi- er's privilege of seattering titles among his friends. Grant became Sir Albert Grani, Bart. By this time be bad secured his election to Pariiament from Kidderminster. All Kidderminster makes car- pets. The wily Baronet, with an eye to this fact, announced that he was about to build & spacious mansion, which woul® be carpeted throughout with the fabrics of Kid- derminster. Then he assured each manufacturer, in secret, that he would secure the valuavle job of furnishing the needed carpetsy Bhe result was that every manufacturer voted for him and did all he could to induce his men to do likewise. Further than this he squandered his soverigns lavishly among his constituents, and entered into cor- the | sinking fund. Assuming that the City Council bas the right to pay the damage anticipated by certain property own- | ers on St. Mary’s avenue in conse- | quence of the proposed grade, we | deny their right to take the money ut of the treasury except in pursu- BEECHER CRUCIFIED. Tilion’s Version of the Terrible Scandal. Mr. Tilton’s sworn statement: ~“+ Whereas, Rev. Henry Ward | Beecher has instigated the appoint- | ment of & committee consisting of six members of his ehurch ana so- | ciety ‘o inquire and report upon ‘he alleged asperations upon his charac- ter by Theodore Tilton, and where- home in order to-operate with | Beecher in a _conspiracy to over- throw the credibility and good re- pute of her late husband, as a man and citizen. Therefore, Theodore Tilton, being by us_authorized and requested by published demand Ward Beecher, and being now and | hereafter released by the act, Mrs. Tilton from further responsibility for the concealment of the truth | touching her relations with Beecher, | therefore, Theodore Tilton hereby sets fortli, under solemn oath, the following facts and testimony : I First, That on the second day of October, 1855, at Piymouth church, | Brooklyn, M. Y., a marriage be- | tween Theodore Tilton and Eliza- beth M. Richards, was performed by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and which marriage, 13 yearsafterwards | was dishonered and violated by this clergyman, through criminal seduc- tion of this wife and mother, as | hereinafter set forth. Second, That for a period of about fifteen years, extending both before | and after this marriage, an intimate friendshipexisted between Theodore on and Henry Ward Beecher, vl such a degree that, in_consequence | thereof, the subsequent dishonoring by Be | { uncommon wrongfulness | and perfidy. | Third.

Henry Ward voluntarily returned to ber | ont he evening'of January 1, 1871. A long interlew then ensuwed, in which Mr. Bgecher expressed, to Mr. Moulton great contrition and ce- morse for his previous- criminality with Mrs. Tilton, taking to himself | thie blame for having misused his | sqered office as a-¢] rupt ‘Ler morals, i determination to ) reumstantial confes- | lilie expressing a e he criminal | Kill himself in case of exposure, and sion to her husband of tl facts hereinbefore stated, accom- panied with ecitations from Mr. Beecher’s arguments and reason- | ings with her to overcome her | long maintained scruples against | yielding to his desires, snd declating that she had committed no wrong to her husband or her marriage. vOws, quoting in_support of this opinion, that her pastor had. Tepeatedly assured her that she was spotless and chaste, and_which she believed herself to be. She further stated that her sexual commerce ith him had never prooeeded from the lower, vulgar thoughts, either on her part or his, but- always from pure affection and high religious love. She stated, furthermore, that Mr.Beecher habitually characterized their intimacy by the term nesthid- ing, and that he woald suffer pain and sorrow if his hidden secrets were ever made known. She said that her mind was often bur- dened by the deceit necessary for her to practice in order to prevent discovery, and that her conscience had many times impelled her to throw off this burden enforced by falsehood by making a full confes- sion to her husband, so that she could no longer be living before him a perpetual lie. In particular, she said she had been on the point of | making this confession a few months | begging Mr. Moultan to take a_pen and reccive from his lips an apology 1o be eonveyed to Mr. Tilton, in the | hope that such an apology would se- eure Tilton’s forgiveness. Theapol- ogy which Beecher dictated to Moul- | | ton was as follo: In trust with D, Moulton :— My dear triend Moulton, I ask through you Theodore Tilton's for- giveness, and T humble mysel( be- fore him as.

Under any circumstances we Te- gard the tampering with the sink- ing fund asa most dangerous pre- cedent, and we enter our protest against it. We contend that the Council has no right to absolve the Mayor snd Treasurer from their official obligations, and those offi- cers have no right to act upon the resolution that pretends to confer authority upon them to violate the law. | TuE following extract from the | address of the Union Republican | Congressional Committee was evi- | dently written with special refer- ence to the bummers and corrup- tionists in these parts: “If oursuc- cess has attracted to our ranks too | many of the camp-followers of | politics, and if our good nature has t00 easily permitted the entrance of the bummer eclement, we have | hoisted theso fellows out of the party | whenever they were caughtat their instinetive tricks. | keeping aparty pure by exposing and punishing the misdeeds of individ- uals, is neither as easy nor agreea- ble as smoothing things over, and refusing to let the truth be known. | Yet the Republican party has | striven earnestly and arduously to | keep itself clean, even though it kaew that every such effort, in- | stead of 1. ag aided from without, would be made the excuse for un- | worthy attack and slander.” — | Pro-Rating. The meeting of the general | freight and nger agents of the | Union and Kansas Pacific roads at Louis is an important one, and |t is to be hoped that terms ana ates can be agreed on. While the | Kansas Pacific can enforce its | elaims, and compel the Union give reasonable rates, it | would e far better were a regular hedule agreed upon, and all fegal difficulties avelded. The public have suflered long enough from this | long contest, and it is to be hoped | that it will ®on see the end of it. A mere statement of the events in their order will fix the responsilility where it properly belongs: (1) Congress passed a charter which required the Union Pacific road and branches to be op- erated as one continuous line, with diserim ns, ete. ; under this | charter both roads were built ; (2) the Union Pacific declined to give | the < acific a rate west from harging as much fr | enne to Ogden us from O | to Oden; (3) the Kansas Pacifie made repeated offers of a compro- | mise, proposing a pro-rata with the Union Paeific on freight and passengers from Omaha to Den- ver, in return for a pro-rate west, | but the Union Pacific declined; (4) Pacifle established pro- ates on freights, and broke | Cheyenne | Che; The task of | year 1570, when, for reasons hereinafter mentioned, isits, and_during many tokens of y period, by | affection, he w | Tilton, wher ter_long moral istance by her, and after repeated aults Ly him upou her mind, | With over-mastering arguments, he Tes | accomplished possession of her per- | | son, maintaining with her thence- | forward, during the period hereinaf- | ter stated, the relation calied crimi- nal intercourse ; this relation being regarded by her during that period | as mot criminal or 1.orally Wrang, | such had been the power of Lls ar- gurents as clergyman, tosatisfy her religious scruples against such vio- lation of virtue and honor. Fourth, That on the evening of | October 10, 1868, or thereabouts, | Mrs. Elizabeth R. Tilton held an interview with Rev. Henry Ward Beecher at his residence. She being then in a tender state of mind owing to the recent death and burial of a young child, and _during this interview an act of criminal in- tercourse took place between this pastor and his parishoner, the motive on her part being as herein- after stated, not regarded by her at the time as criminal or wrong, which act was followed by a similar act of criminality between these same parties, at Tilton's residence, during a pastorial visit paid by Beecher to her on the subsequent Saturday evening, tollowed, also, by other similar acts on various oe< casions, from the autumn of 1868 to the spring of 1870, the places bein the two residences aforesaid, e oceasionally at other places to which her pastor would invite and accom- pany her, or at which he would meet her by previous appointment. These acts of wrong being on her part not wanton or consciously wicked, but arising through a blind- ing of her moral perceptions, ve- casioned by the powerful influence exerted on her mind at that time to this end by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, as her trusted religious pre- ceptor and guide. Fifth, That pastoral visits made by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher dur- ing the year 1868 becameso frequent asfo excite comments, being in marked contrast with his known habit of making pastoral calls on his parishioners, which frequency in Mrs. Tilton’s case, is shown in letters written to her husband _dur- ing his absence in the west. These letters, giving evidence that during the term of five or six weeks, twelve pastoral calls on M ilton_ were made by Rev. Henry Ward Beech- er, and which calls became notie- ably infrequent on Tilton’s return to his home. Sizth, That previous to the afore- said criminal intimacy, one reason of which was Tilton alleged, her en- couragement of such exceptional at- | tentions from Rev. Henry Ward | Beecher was a fact that she had been much distressed by rumors against his moral purity and wished to convinee him that shecould re- ceive his kindness and yet resist his | licitation, and that she could in- § ire in him by her purity and fidel- | nd increased respect for chaste dignity and womanhood. Previous to his return in 1568 she maintained with christian firmness towards her pastor. This_position of resistanceshe always maintained, amorous pleas, which and oft repeated, er to her husband, dated February Sth, 1868, she wrote as follow: “To love is praiseworthy, but to abuse the gift is a sin, | am strong, no demonstrations and fas- | Seventh, That the first suspieion which ecrossed the mind of Theo- dore Tilton that Rev. Henry Ward | Beecher was abusing, or might | abuse, the affection and reverence | which Mrs. Tilton had borne to- wards her pastor, was an_improper caress given by Mr. Beecher to Mrs. Tilton, while seated by her side on the floor of his library, overlooking engravings. Mr. Tilton, a few hours afterwards, ‘asked hid wife for an explanation of her permission of such a liberty, whereat she first 1 the love of Mrs. | chief one being that she had not | voluntarily gone astray, but had | been artfully misled through her re- | | ligious reverence for Rev.

After an absence of several weeks, duce that effect. enth, Thit In December, 1870, fuignces arose between Theodore ilton and Henry C. Bowen which | were augmented by Rev. Henry | Ward Beecher, in consequense whereof andat tho wish of Mrs. Elizabeth R. Tilton, expressed in writing, in a_paper put into the hands of Francis D. Moulton, with a view to procure a harmonious in- terview between Tilton and Beecher, Such interview was finally arranged and carried out by Mr. Moulton, st his residence on Clinton Messrs. Beecher and Tilton meeting and speaking then and there for the first time since Mrs. Tilton’s con- fession six months before. The paper in Mr. Moulton’s hands was a state- mentby Mrs. Tilton in_suls ance a confession, which she had made beforg, and that her wish and prayer was for recongiligtion and peace be- tween her pastor and husband. This paper furnished Beecher the first knowledge which he had as yet re- ceived that Mrs. Tilton had made such confession. At this Interview between Beecher and Tilton, per- misslon was sought by Mr. Beecher 10 consult with Mrs. Tilton on that same evening. This permission being granted, Mr. Beecher departed from Mr. Moulton’s house, and in about half an hour returned thither, exprossing his remorse and shame, and declaring that his life and work seemed brought to a sudden end, Later on the same evening, Mr. Tilton on returning to his house, found his wife weeping and in great distress, saying that what she had meant for peace had only given pain_and anguish ; that M. Beecher had just ealied on her, declaring she had slain him, and that he would probubly be tried be- fore a council of ministers, unless she would give him a written paper for his protection. said, he dictated to her and she copied in her own hand writmg a suitable paper for him to clear him- self before a council of ministers. Mrs. Tilton having kept no copy of this paper, her husband asked her to make a distinct statement in writing of her design and meaning in giving it. Whereupon she wrote as follows . DECEMBER 30, 1870—Midnight. My DEAR HUSEAND :—I desire tc leave with you before gomng to bed the statement that Henry Ward Beecher called upon me this morn- ing and asked me if T would defend him against any aceusation in the council of ministers, and 1 replied; nnly, that T would in case the accuser was any other person_than my husband ~ He, Henry Ward Beecher, dictated a letter which I copied asmy own, to be used by him as against any other accuser except my husband. This letter was designed to vindicate Mr. Beecher against all other persons, save only yourself. T was ready to give him this letter because he said, with pain that my letter in your hands, addressed to him, and dated nber 29th, had struck him usefulness, You =nd I are pledged to do our best to avoid publicity, God grant the speedy end of all further anx- ieties. ~ Affectionatel; ELIZABETH.
