SCENTING PAR OFF SCANDAL.

BE ECU E 113 LAWYER ON TILTON'S TKA1U TIIE IICNT roil EVIDENCE RAKINO TP AN OLD ROW AT TUE TÄTE UNIVERSITY PROF. OAT CALLED CTON TO TESTIFY FREE LOY LECTÜRINO AND ITS FRUITS. The Boc-cher-Tilton cisp, since the scene of ction h:v been transferred from the press to the courts, has not ma le so much noise In the world as tormrrlj, bat the apparent quiet by no means indicates that the par ties at interest are at rest. Indeed, though they have tilked less about their troubles, they have probably acted with more In tense energy than ever before. The exten floa hai diminished, but the Intension has Increased. Decides the maneuvers of the lawyers to outwit each other and fain Bvprv tossible technical adp - - j f vantage, every agency La3 b?en set at work in tlie collection of evidence bearing upon the matter in controversy or affairs collateral to ft. As an illustration of the keenness of sccat with which every detail of tbii jireat case is being sought out, and tho persistency wi;li which it is bine -worked up, it may be mentioned that an effort is evidently on ixt to connect niton with a GREAT INDIANA SCANDAL, which, it i3 alleeed aroe out of his free love teachings. Tho Sonticel hear ins rumor to that effect, at once ket to work to trace it to some authentic source.and found that Mr. Boecher's counsel were actually on the track- of Mr. Tilton tin a lecturer, aud were in serch of authentic information regarding his celebrated discourse delivered at the State University at Rlooinington, on the theme of "Home Sweet llome," in February, 1872, on which occasion one of the professors rose in his place in the audieoce and denounced the doctrines which Mr. Tilton preached and which tbe students of the institution, male and female, received with more appreciation of the sweetness of tbe speakers rhetoric than of the unwnolesomeness of bis teachings. In pursuit of Information on the college erneute which thn took place and the subsequent social scandal which made the story of Tilton'a lecture more noteworthy, Mr. Ueecher's CONFIDENTIAL FRIEND, SHEARMAN, has written to the opponent of Mr. Tilton on that memorable occasion, Prof. J. I Gay. This fact is sufficient to prove that that indefatigable lawyer is tracing every disreputable event and every unwise word in Theodore's life like a blood bound. It 13, of course, impossible to say precisely what information Prof. Gay bas forwarded, as ho has refused to be interviewed on the subject, but an investigation of the quarrel which cost the professor his situation, serve3 to show, with every degree of probability, what must have been tbe nature of tbe intelligence -which he had to (live. It is of a kind to blacken Mr. Tilton'a general character, by aüordlnpj collateral proof o! the stories already in circulation in regard to his free love proclivities, rather than to e&taolish Mr. Iieecher's innocence in any way. THE STORY OF TILTON'S TROUBLE at EloominRton is briefly this: lie had been invited to deliver a lecture at the State Universi'y in that place by one of tho students' societies, and as he was then in the height of his fame, he was enthusiastically received. The vounz ladies and gentlemen attending tl e college were present, together with a large number ot tbe best class of citizens, and Mr.Tilton.in bis lectureof "Home, Sweet Home'whieh had been selected by the students for delivery.dwelt upon the subject with a warmth ot imagination and a laxity of morals that was described a3 startling, lie acquired almost complete sway over the younger portion of his audience, who rushed up to tbe stage to congratulate tbe speaker when he closed and declare their adhesion to the new doctrine of which they regarded him as a sort of apostle. Foremost among them was one who afterward applied the theory to practice. Just how far Mr. Tilton went in his teachings in the inculcation of free love it is not very easy to determine. His lecture which became tbe subject of bitter discussion, was afterwards published, but those who heard it delivered maintain that tbe ojectionable passages have been softened for general perusal. It is pretty strong evidence that something unusually dangerous against tbe orthordox doctrine of marriage and divorce was uttered, that Prof. J. L. ?ay, the instructor in English literature and a member of such a CONSERVATIVE BODY as the Episcopal clergy, felt called upon to rise in his seat and denounce the lecture as Inappropriate to the audience and containing dangerous doctrines. The 6tormy scene 'which followed, and the subsequent action of the students who considered their guest insulted is described in the following account of the affair, which is taken from the Journal of this city for February 14th, THEODORE TILTON. STRANOB BCENK AT A LECTURE DELIVERED BY THAT OENTLEMAN REFORB THE STUDENTS OF THE 8TATE UNIVERSITY. By a letter received yesterday we learn the particulars of a most singular transaction which occurred at tbe State University at Bloomlngton, last Friday night, upon the occasion of a lecture by Rev. Theodore Tilton before the Students' Association. The student have lately orfanlzed a lecture association, and Invited lr. Tilton to open their course with his well known lecture, "Home Hweet Home," which be did last Friday night in the college chapel before sn Immense audience. At the close of tbe lecture the entire audience rose to its feet save the lie v. J. L. Uay, professor ol the chair of Knglish literature, who, as soon aa the audience sat down mounted the rostrum and said that he felt that he could not go down to his grave in peace without entering uis protest against what he considered the dangerous heresy of tbe lecture. He said that the speaker had made gros misrepresentations, called him a chronic grumbler, and wound up by saying that the lecture wasche most inappropriate one for the audience he had ever heard. Then arose a tt-ene of the wildest confusion. Some of the audience left, but the major portion remalnei and called loudly for Tilton, interspersing their calls with vebenient hisses at Profeswr Uay. Mr. Tilton responded to the Calls, saying that he had no dee-ire to cross swords with t-ny man at that time and plxce; that the association had cho;en his subject for hi in and he had tried to discharge hl duty t the best of his ability. fetorms of applause followed these words, and the professor attempted again to be heard, but the audience dispersing left him alone la his wrath.' The following morning tue students again appeared in the cha el, when, by request, Mr. Til ion delivered his lecture on "The l raining of thiMind." At the conclusion the students assembled in the boll and adopted tbe following resolutions: Iteeolved, That we, the students of the Indiana State University, return our most sincere thanks to Theodore 'f lit n for his able and eloquent address on the evening of Feb. 0, ls;& Resolved, That we disapprove the course taken bv Fror, tiay ; tuai Air. Tiltou has the sympathy Of the Students. To vindicate himself from the charges brought rgicst Llru, Prof. Gay wrote to the same psp:rth9 following justification cf Lis conduct, which was published February 19th, 1S72. A CARD FROM FROF. GAY. To the Editor of the Journal : Fik :-Tlie item of rews In your rap: r of the H!h lustf.rst, which bos just fallen ur.'kr my notice, in relation to the excitement at the Uni

versity about the Free Love lecture of Theodore Tilt-n Is lncorect In miuy particular. Let me Mil the public and voureelf right, it is true

t iatidid fK-loblei to pro ts'. aga nst and cenouncethiB very tvMl.cut lec;ure, delivered 8 it as before faculty, students and very many of i lie cl tizens lit th neighborhood of lue I ulveroity. It. is true that I old say, "l üat It was for tue audience" made cp In large part by ycung gent emen and lad es who are studentH in in u ni versity -ine most inappropriate ana unsuitable lecture that could havebtn delivered to them." At the close of this rrotest I was greeted with a toand of applause that seemed to come from at least half of tlie audience. II there were hisj-e I certainly did not hear them, nor do 1 bHleve that any oneelnedid. I delivered my protest Irnm the spot where I sat. in a lone of righteous indignation. Indeed, which 1 am sure that you and ail decent people will bare with me when I relate to you and to l hem a few only ot Mr. Tilt n'a many scandalous utterances, he told the young men and womeu betöre him ' in follow the impulses and instincts of nature." Ha talked to those pare young minds about "prostitution and th duty of the slate to regulate it." Nice ta k this fr the articular audience thre assembled. He polluted tbeir esn with other words and epi bets that i am ashamed to repeat here, but whose only tendency must have been to exilie impure thoughts. He seemed to be on very into ins with the state and the church, for he raid "If he had his way he would crush them both." Now, cnnslderli'g tli t I am a paid servant, of the Hate and a humble minl-ter of the church, I submit that i could do uothing less than resent the affront put uron bo h. av, more; considering that all these Rtudt-nts, as well as the faculty, were sharers with me in the state's b unity, in that the fotmer ate receiving th-ir tuition and many other ad vantages free, licit bound to resent, on the part of the students even, the ttatement that "he would crush out the state as weil as the church." These are the reasons why I felt con strained, then and there, to denounce the pestilent utterances i. f this man. The poison had men and there been scattered broadcast, aud it was taking etlVct In many of ttiose young minds who were carried away by the rhetoric eloquence of this dat gerous man. There, on me spot, one ot me appointed teacners oi tue youth, lelt obliged to warn them against that pol-on. and to try to neutralize its ellects as well as I could, in doing so lonly obeyed the dic tates or my conscience, if. when this matter comes to be Investigated bv the faculty and trustee, it shall be determined to close the College Chapel a ainst all popular lectures, and also to c ose that parti cular hall from whence a portion of the students ventured to pass resolutions of censure again t one of their Instructors, no one wl 1 regret it more than myself. My fellow-members of the faculty and our much ba oved president can tell these students and all others who care to k ow, now 1 have sought to shield and delend such st Uderts, as have been brought before us lor di-clpllne, and how waim y 1 put myself in their places and ieellngs,and earnestly hoped for them an honorable career; and in this late atTulr 1 am happy to know I have the smpathy and confidence of a large part of the stu dents themselves; that but few of them approve of the principle and sentiments of Theodore Tilton, however much they may almire nis eloquence finally, i beg leave to tell you that in this affair, I have the sympathy and approval of every member of the faculty, of every decent man and woman in Bioomiuglon, aud of every nalu liter In tbe place, nearly ail of whom have warnd. or are preEarlng to warn their several flocks against the eresies and shameful utterances and other evil men and seducers, who are waging worse and worse decelv ng aud beir g deceived." l am, sir, your obedient servant, J. U Gay. P. S. Let me say further, that when I de nounced Mr. Til ten's lee tu re I aid not know fully tbe relat.on he stood in to some of the stu dents; did not know that he had been called for that particular lecture. Lven if they had cal ed for it they could not have known the character of it, and Mr. T. should have frankly told them that there were things in it not nt for the pure young ears that would listen to it. J. L. U. The cantroversy was not however suflered to end here. Some among the students had become such earnest champions of Tilton that they organized a serious opposition to proi. uay, wno was eventually compelled to resign bis position, not receiving the support of the faculty and trustees of the college in the manly stand which he had taken. II ow wise was his repudiations oi Tilton, and how just his alarm for the effect of his teachings, the result proved. Ainon the many beautiful sentiments put forth bv Theodore wa3 one to the effect that "if anv two among them promised each other enduring love, ihey were, in fact, as much man and wifa in the eye of heaven, as if tho sanction of the law and tbe BENEDICTION OF THE PRIEST had pronounced them so." At least one couple of those who listened to him put his theory iu practice, to the disgrace of the in stitution, and their own misery and ruin. The great scandal which ensued, whether it could be fairly traced to the lecture or not, had at least the effect of creating a stronz re action in favor of Prof. Gay, and the men who failed to sustain him in time acknowledged their error. The matter was made tbe subject of a great deal of discussion, and ministers ot every denomination made it the occasion of preaching sermons on the sanctity of the marriage relation, and Judge IJusRlrk, in his address to the graduating class of the university that year warned its members against the tendencies of the teaching which they had defended so warmly. 1 his old quarrel will doubtless be revived by the action of Mr. Shearman in seeking for details in regard to it. and it is doubtful whether the wrong formerly done in the f irced resignation of a protestor for his onslaught upon Mr. Tilton, will be lelt anatoned for in the light of the developments ot the past summer. In touching upon this old theme tbe Sentinel acts in no spirit of en miry to the tbe much-abused Theodore, to whom it has always been disposed tod) full justice, but it takes pleasure in opening up an old Btory oi wrong and injustice, made interesting by its new relations, hoping that the cool judgment of this year mäy correct the mistakes of 1872. The Gravexstein Appli. The Gravenstein apple is the best apple in the world, aa all nomologists agree. The other day, we met tbe man who set the first grafts of this variety of apple in America. Mr. Gorham Persons, of the Fatherland farm, Byfield, received from Europe a package of the grafts from ine seedling tree. They were left at his counting-room in Boston, and he sent them to his country place in Brighton, but his overseers, having no spare stocks for them, sent them to Byfield. Oar informant. iir. ii. if. nogerj, was grafting over the old trres at Byfield when the grafts arrived, but the foreman ot the place, seeing that they were a nine snriveiea. owing to their lone voyage, and that they were rather small specimens of grafts at best, refused to havo mein sei, declaring tnat he wouldn't pay for the work. Mr. Hogers, nothing daunted, carried tbe poor grafts to his father, a some what celebrated fruit-raiser, and proposed to set them in histrees.But Kogers,enior,didn't be"ieve In new-fangled apples in general, nor in these withered gr.i'ts in paiticular, and he would have ne of them. As a last resort Rogers carried the pcions to Jamea Pea body, who f ivored everything new and fancy and who gave him permission to set them, with the understanding tbat they ouM go halves on tbe profits. .The third year, the trees came into bearing and Mr. Peabody carried a plate ot the apples to the cattle-fehow, where they attracted much attention, though the committee could not name them. They were cut up icto minute pieces aud distributed among the cennoisseurs, all of whom pronounced it the charupiou apple. The next yer, Mr. Peabody carried a plate to the fair ot the Massachusetts society, where ho met Marshall P. Wilder, the president, who had just arrived from E irope with a basket of 8pplcs, a bunch of the grafts and the name, which has always been spelled wrong, Graf Stein Court S:cne bting the name of the proprio'or of tbe estate c.n which the apple originated. All tbe grafts in thiscouctry came from-Mr. Peabody 'h trees, which took pity on the poor Imported scions, af er tlityhad bftn rcfuvnj everywhere ele. Nciwburypoit Herald.

The latest and most graphic description of the wild beistisfrom the Oxford Tribune as lollows: It is said to be about the size of a three-year-old tteer, but much heavier set. It has four legs, one on each corner. Its tail is short and stubby, like that of a horse. As winter draws near it becomes much bolder, and even dares to approach within a tew fent of peoples housts. Oue day last week it was seen about three miles from Fowler, with a gold watch in its vest pocket, which it is supposed to have stolen from some traveler who crossed its path. It is very active, with all ease jumping hedges forty or fifty feet in hiubt. When last seen it was near Parish Grove, with a pair of number fourteen boots on Ts feet, which were splattered with blood and brains. Po litically it is a granger, as it resorts to the corn fields and slaughter of horses for its daily bread. It is generally supposed to have come irom tue wilds of Africa, having crossed the ocean on the ice last winter. CRAWFORD COUNTY. A Mi3S Washburn, teacher in Uuion township, was hauled up before the trustees on a charge of immorality. Investigation resulted in Keeping her in her place. Mr. C. D.

All this in Hamilton town ship. CARROLL COUNTY. The Delphi Times speaks of prosperity In that neck of woods : The business men o Delphi are having plenty to dj this fall. Crops were r r od, and the prices for corn and pork are excellent. I he building of the Chicago ix. South Atlantic railroad also adds greatly to the increase in business. There are now about five hundred men at work on the road within a mile or two of this city who gel their supplies here and at Pitts burg, which adds greatly to the amount of trade enjoyed by our merchants. CLARKE COUNTY. - A gentleman of this county, said tobe well posted, is reported as saying that the times will be harder in Jefifersonville for the next six months than they have been at any time within a year. Last winter, when the panio came on, mechanics and laboring men had had a prosperous summer, and with the work they managed to get during the winter, kept afloat. This year the b boring classes commence the winter without credit, having been idle, in a manner, since last spring. What a large number of worthy mechanics are to do to make a living this winter is a problem as yet unsolved. FLOYD COUNTY. Judge Bicknell fined Mr. Reisert, a saloon keeper, two dollars for his unmannerly conduct towards the praying women when they called on him last winter. The decision closes with the following passage: I. therefore, think the proof warrants a finding against the defendant, but as the defendant was under great provoc ationjby the unlawful attack upon his business, I put his fine at the lowest sum fixed by the law towit: two dollars. They are killing hogs at the rate of seven hundred head per day at New Albany, the two houses slaughtering on alternate days. The Ledger-Standard says that a dastardly outrage was perpetrated on a woman standing by a window ol a house on Lower Main street, on Sunday night, with a lamp in her hand, when some unknown person threw a rock, which struck her above tbe eye, inflicting an ugly wound. Her baby came near being struck by the same missile. No cause is assigned for tbe act. GRANT COUNTY. Judging by the following hog items, from the Franklin Jefferson iarj, tbe Sentinel can't see that farmers have any reason to squeal because of bard times: Considering the price of wheat, cattle, and other stock and products of tbe soil, hogs this season command very high figures, and those of our farmers who have been fortunate enough to own a few porkers now have their pockets full of greenbacks, and most of our farmers in Johnson county are now in that happy fix! Most every day from one to a dozen droves of hogs pahs through our streets, or aloDg tbe roads to Herriott, Vawter & Co.'s slaughtering and packing establishment, and the hogs of Johnson county are ro longer "Elm peelers," with ears like tobacca leaves, and snoots like hand spikes, but the regular thoroughbreds: Poland, China, Chester Whites, Berkshire, etc.; and they are generally fine ones; and when twelve or eighteen months old weigh from 300 to 350 pounds.

While there, Estep and pome members of his family and Mrs. Barnes went by in a wagon. Barnes became enraged, and having procured a revolver at Blountsviile, started after the wagon, which he overtook jast beyond the Delaware county line. Having got iu front of Estep, Barnes told hijn that unless he ordered Iiis wile to get out of the wagon ho would shoot. Estp reltiso I to have the woman get out, end .- Barnes fired, the ball striking Estep in the thigh. Barnes is at large. HAMILTON COUNTY.

It Is set for Decamber 10, five miles northeast of the town. POSEY COUNTY. At New Harmony there haa been a groat excitement In the hog market to the delight of the farmers. A correspondent of the Mount Vernon Democrat thus describes tbe affair: gome new and inexperienced buvers, men who thought they saw a lovely margin in swine, had entered the market, and the -porK Kings" or town moved on them, to drive them out. The battle was terrific, at first. The new men had money and nerve, aud stayed in, determined to play out tho play. The farmer who had sold at ?8 was chagrined ta find that his neighbor, two hours later, had turned his lot in at $3 50, and he in turn, was crezy mad to find that ?9 was freely offered before he left for home. Nine dollars for pork wer i the figures tbat stunn; d the dormant brain cf the tiller of tbe soil, and when he heard it whispered that Saturday's San would shine upon hops coming into market at $10, be bowed bis head upon bis hands and wept, tbat he had no more hogs' to sell. Ihe prices paid were cash. One old veteran, whose proudest bea-a, it is, tbat he voted for Jackson, and never got left on the hog market, who had outlived many panics, and laced many treacherous margins, placidly gazed upon a knot of noisy, excited men, and as he felt his wallet filled with the proceeds ot his hog crop, devoutly exclaimed: "Thank God, the whole country democratic, and pork worth 9 00 a hundred." RUSH COUNTY. Night before last a riot took place ia Burlington, Rush county, a small village seven miles east of Morristown, resulting in three men being stabbed with apocket knife by one Wightman. Alter doing all he could with tbe knife he started to run, aud was shot in the side by some unknown party. The difficulty originated over politics. RANDOLPH COUNTY. "Four babies at once" is a startling head line in the Winchester Journal of this week. Having arrested the attention of the average reader, the writer proceeds: The wife ol Riley Stetson, living on Bear Creek, in tbe edge of Franklin township, in this county, gave birth to fjur children two bovs and two rirls, on Sunday night of last week. The children were well lormed in every respect and weighed four pounds each. Not content with this awful announcement the editor adds: The neighborhood where thiJ occurred is a peculiatly productive one, two pairs of twins having been born in less than six months, neither more than half a mile apart. Eight children at three births in one neighborhood. Can any other county in the state beat that? Marion county li increasing in population quite last enough. By the way, Kiley should go west and devote himself assiduously to agricultural pursuits, raising corn and other grain. He will have no trouble in getting rid of all he raises in that line. He will have a home market and a lively demand. SULUVAN COUNTY. Stamps seem to be scarce with tbe average office seeker in this state this Beason. Those devastating grasshoppers did tbe business. Tbe Sullivan Democrat says: "Hon. H. K. Wilson showed us yesterday an immense Eackage of letters from office-hunters at the ands of the legislature. But few. he savs. enclosed stamp to repay return postage. Some are writing in regard to offices tbat are not vacant. Information as well as stamps is lacking in some of our statesmen, it would seem, from the last liue of this paiaraph. ST. JOSEPH COUNTY. The Sentinel has given, the particulars of the disaster at the Studebaker Wagon Works at South Bend. The families of many of those who werö killed and wounded are in need of relief, not having the means ot subsistence during the winter months. To take measures lor their relief a meeting was called for Tuesday afternoon and advertised by hand-bills, but insufficiently, and the attendance was meager iu consequence. Then another meetincr was called for last night. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that the dead came to tbeir death Iroin suffocation by the accidental falling of a wall. Nobody was censured. James II. Andrews, Jacob Strayer, Henry Smith and O. P. Stuckey returned from a deer bunt iu Bav county, Mich., about fifty miles north of Bay City, where they bacged 17 deer. TIPPECANOE COUNTY. The corn crop in this county, according to tho Journal, of Lif.tyette, was never so prosperous as at tho present time, and all complaints of bard times and scarcity of money is simply a humbug. The corn crop, takeu the county over, will average fifty bushels to the acre, for which the producers are receiving from 50 to 55 cents per bushel in cash. At 50 conts per bushel, and filly bushels to the acre, this pays the

farmer twenty-five dollars per rcre, the original cost of much of the land in the county. The great trouble i-, and it is a trouble about which the ciiy defers complain, that tho farmers itsist upon buvimr

uVU1i, ouu uruiai:uiDg cj&n ior their pro ducts. When the latter get their money they 'salt it down for a rainy day.' and leave the tradesmen t t hold the bag. In the pres -ent instance the result will be that the farmers are sll right.'ar.d the tradesmen TIPTON COUNTY.

He launched out in the business cf atlas and map publishing in this city tome seven years ago, and as an evi Jence of h s character and business ability, it is only necessary to state in this connection that his business transactions in county and Eectional maps during tne past year reached the enoimous sum of f-jOu.OOt), while his operations this year wlil ezcaed SlJoO.WJ. At the present lime Mr. Andreas has 103 men employed In Minnesota surveying, draughting and soliciting. The Minnesota State Atlas will be completed early in October next, and from draughts submitted to our inspection, we do not hesitate to say It will be the most perfect state, county and sectional map ever published In the West. It will not only be perfect In giving boundaries of counties, sections, towns and cities, but will show all the timber, prairies, streams, rail and wagon roads, churches and school houses, each county being mapped separately by itself. It will also contain fine en gravings of the more prominent buildings, as well as lithographic .portraits and biographies of some of the most prominent men in the state. In fact, so far as can be Judged from tbe details of the work now in hand, it will be one of the most perfect and valuable productions in the way of a state atlas ever published. Home idea of the magnitude of the work may be gained when it is known that the paper employed weighs something over 70 tons, while the card board lor the covers alone exceeds 17 tons And when completed and ready for shipment to Minnesota it will require the service of 12 ordinary freight cars. One making a visit to the establishment of Capt. Andreas will see hundreds of men employed lithographing printing, draughting, and book-binding. In short, ihe establishment gives etnployrneat to hundreds of men and women, and is a perfect bee Live of industry, aud under the experleacel eye and guiding hand of the Captain, everything Is conducted In tha most perfect harmony. There are few places iu the city, where one can learn more by a visit, or gain a better Insight into the progress of manufacturing in this clt j , than at the map and atlas publishing house of Mr. Andreas. It is certainly the! largest establishment of the kind In this country, and The Times does not hesitate In! the additional statement that It turns out better and more perfect maps and atlases than! any other house In this or any other country. This Is putting It pretty strong, yet the facta will fully warrant it. Besides the Minnesota State Atlas, Mr. A. has a large force engaged In preparing country maps for the northwest portion of Ohio, and the northeast portion of Indiana, the headquarters and office of which operations are at Toledo, where the business is conducted under the firm name of Andreas & Baskln. Under the firm name of Andreas, Baskin & Burr, they are making atlases of counties in Eastern New York, and beginning the publication of an extensive atlas of the state of Connecticut, with an office in New York City. Capt. j Andreas has commenced the preliminary work for an atlas of the state of Iowa, and if he sees his enterprise will meet the support he has overy reason to think it will, he will soon throw a force of 150 men Into the state to work details, etc., and in about one year's time will produce a work. which will not only be an Immense convenience to all classes, but will show up the beauties, wealth and prosperity of tbe state, as it couid be in no other way. A Fortunate Bakek.
