"Township Trustee, SAMSON BOONE, , A Parallel Case. i Just, at this witiog, we thiok, a portion of the twenty-fifth Psalm, is peculiarly applicable to Henry Ward Beecher' a case, after perua'iDg the two TONS (Til-ton and Moulton) of piled up verbal slanders, and letters, and notes, "conversations or narrative" fixed up-to suit, as they impressed themselves on Iago Moulton's memory, and "only so much of that as seemed to him material:" . "Without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause have they digged for my soul.. . "False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not "They rewarded me evil for good, to the spoiling of my soul. "I behaved myself as though he had been my friend - or brother: I bowed 1 down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. . ' "But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together; yea the abjeots gathered themselves to gether against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me and ceased not. "With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. - ' "Lord how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destruction, my only one from the lions. ' ; I will give Ihee thanks m the . great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. "Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over ine; neither let them wink with the eye that . hate me without a cause. " For they peak not peace; but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. ' "Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha! our eye hath seen it. "Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. "Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, so would wo havo it; let them not say we have swallowed him up. "Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together, that rejoice at my hurt; let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me. "Let them shout for joy and be glad, that favor my righteous cause; yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity ot his .servant." Moulton's Case. In beginning the work "of fair criticism of the mutual friend's enormous budget, the first inquiry is, what is the obiect of Morn. ton's case? He says it is to vindicate himself. In what regard? As a faithful confidential friend. He defends against the imputation of betraying Beecher's confidence, which he procured by the assurance that he would use it to protect Beeciier's good name. To defend his integrity in this, he publishes all that he received from Beecher in trust, and strings all on a thread of his own accusation, to convict Beecher of that which shall blast his namo. This is the way Moulton vindicates his honor as a confidential friend. Yet if Moulton convicted Beecueb, he would only establish his own treachery. Just criticism has to take Moulton's testimony as that of one who is obliged to accuse another to save himwlf, and also as one whose line of defense proves him perfidious. By the rules of criticism his would make his testimony ot no effect, save when supported by evidence. Another point to be noted is that Moulton avoids examination upon his statement, by refusing to appear before the Committee. Much of Moulton's narrative has been told before by Tilton and Moulton, or is an extension of the same matter. The points in the Beecher confidential letters that were most susceptible to an evil construction were given in Tilton's statement to the Committee. The giving of the contexts of these extracts in Moulton's shorter statement reduced their evil appearance. The further letters which Moulton now gives are an extension and dilution of the same. There are letters from parties who believed the scandal upon the Woodhull publication, or who were disturbed by it, but who knew nothing, and whose letters cannot by any stretch be called corroborating evidence. The quantity of irrelevant matter with which Moulton has stuffed this, is a gross imposition upon the press and the public. Moulton beans by telling the story of Bowen's private slanders on IJeecher, and of hi instigating luton to send by him a written demand on Beecher to quit Plymouth Church; of Tilton's explanation of thus acting as a tool and cover for Bowen, namely, that "Beecher had made improper advances to Mrs. Tilton." ThiB was, then, the extcnt ot this accusation and "confession.'' Then

Moulton narrates how Tilton told him of Bowen's sudden change: his threat if Tilton ever fold that he had accused Beecher; his discharge of Tilton, which laid him out; and he gives a letter of Tilton to Bowen recapitulating this history. The relevant point in this story is that Bowen was secretly a- continual accuser of Beecher - of various adulteries, and that he said Beecher ought to be driven from Plymouth Church, and that he instigated Tilton to open the war, promising to back him. On the other side we have Tilton's story that Bowen desired him to give more prominence in the Independent to Plymouth Church and that he answered by telling Beecher's advances to Mrs. Tilton. and then Bowen told of other, and worse offenses, and thereupon the demand was concocted. Subsequently we have the Tripartite Covenant, in which Bowen buried all causes against Beecher,and his memorandum Statement of the conditions, which were business interests to Bowen, save those by which Beecher was to relieve him from the injury he was suffering by the impression that he was unfriendly to Beecher. Thus Bowen is brought in as a slanderer of Beecher, in order to sustain Moulton; but be is at the same time impeached. Bowen has yet a defense to make; at present he stands accused as a slanderer, and convicted by the Tripartite Covenant and by hi asserted treachery to Tilton. Swift upon Tilton's downfall comes his demand that Beecher should see him at Moulton's, to be confronted with a copy of Mrs. Tilton's confession, the original of which he received six months hefore and had destroyed. Moulton now mentions the confession as "of the improper intercourse between them." Herein is convenient vagueness, but the confession presented to Beecher, and the retraction Beecher received from Mrs. Tilton, was of "improper solicitations." Only 1 now was Moulton told by Tilton that his wife had made a confession six months before. It appears that Tilton's sense of Beecher s injury to him was latent till he fell into business distress. It appears all through that it rose and fell according to this. Moulton tells over the tale of his peremptory call of Beecher to this interview; his subsequent going with Beecher to Tilton's house; Tilton's telling him next day that his wife had given Beecher a retraction, and his demanding it of Beecher as a breach of faith to him, the mediator. There is nothing in any of these narrations to show that the pistol played any part. No one can suppose that Moulton was so earnest in this business that he was going to shoot Beecher. He got back the retraction by the plea that he was the depositary ol the confession, and by the talk ot good faith. Yet he afterward gave up Mrs. Tilton's confession to Tilton. Moulton shows that Mrs. Tilton was a mere medium in writing accusations and retractions at Tilton s commind. Beecher relates that Tilton confronted him with what he said was a copy of the confession he having destroyed the original to protect his wife and that he ostentatiously tore up the copy in his presence. Moulton says Tilton told him his wife wrote the confession six months before, and that he had destroyed it; but that she, ''fearing that if the ' Bowen accusations against Beecher were made public, the whole matter would be made known, and her own conduct with Beecher become exposed, had renewed her confession in her own hand writing, which he handed me to read." Thus it appears that Mrs. Tilton rewrote her conlession, lest her offense should yet come out. So the beasts in convention resolved on suicide to save themselves from slaughter. " . We here skip a part in order to close out Mrs. Tilton's confessions. Moulton tells that after the Woodhull publication he had Tilton get from his wife a writing that she was pure and

faithful to her husband, and that there was no ground for the scandal. Also, that Dr. Storrsand Mr. Carpenter, being concerned about the Woodhull scandal, Mrs. Tilton of course Tilton and his familiar moving her wrote a confession for them, in which she stated that in July, 1870, she informed her husband "that Mr. Beech er had solicited me to be a wife to him together with all that this implied, that six months thereafter she wrote a brief statement for her husband she had forcotten in what form; that he showed it to Beecher, and he came r aat Vcai i n rl cKa tarrr. t.o a rof rinf i -t. that she found this retraction placed her acainst her husband, and there fore ahe wrote an explanation. So much for Mrs. Tilton's mediumistic confessions. But this again puts the charge back to "improper solicita tions, which seems to be all she wus ever made to accuse Beecher of. We now return to Moulton's nar ration of Beecher's sorrow for Tilton's business and domestic distress; the apology which Moulton concocted and got Beecher to entrust to him in confidence: the settlement by which Bow en paid Tilton the forfeit on his con tract; and the tripartite covenant by which Bowen ana Tilton buried all their charges against Beecher. As soon as they had signed it they dug ud the corpse. The significant features of thin covenant are that the conditions show that Mr. Bowen's slander ous hostility to Beecher was changed to love bv business considerations, and that he desired Beecher to relieve him from some social odium; and that with this secured to Bowen, and with the large sum of $7,000 in the hands of Tilton. they both resolved that there was nothing to come between their love for Beecher. , We come now to the letters of the Hookers, the" Bcechers, Mrs. Woodhull and others, Moulton tumbled these in for quantity. They contain no evidence, and they have been dis posed of in the public mind. Mrs. Hooker was infatuated with the Woodhull. and believed what she pub lished must be true. Her mind dwelt upon it till it become a monomania Mrs. WoodhulPs unjust imprison ment mtensihed her feelings, iier earnestness persuaded Thomas K Beecher that something was wrong, a thins: for which he was prepared by his notion that H. W. Beecher was unsound in orthodoxy and had gone astray into abolitionism. A sister. having the Beecher citt of language excited with such a mania, and bent on a scene, was enough to make a min ister anxious in many ways.- She was filled with the idea that truth reouire her to drag Beecher before his church in a grand confession scene, of which she was to be the master ot ceremo nies. The notion was lunatic even i; he' were guilty. let we see grave critics pronouncing that all this was normal. Jieecher took such a course as would soothe her mind and restore her to quict. !: Thete letters tell only of the effect of the Woodhull scandal on a diseased mind. They are not evidence against Beecher. The long letter of Mrs. Morse 6hows nothing but the distressed state of Mrs. Tilton under his poverty and ill treatment.

Next we eome to Moulton's account of the young girl, brought up by the Tiltons, and sent off to school,- Mou'ton says it was because she overheard Tilton talk to his wite of her "criminal intimacy with Mr. Beecher, and she had reported their conversations to several friends of the family," and that, "being young, and not knowing the consequences of her prattling, it seemed proper for the safety of the two families that she should be sent to a distance to school, which was "accordingly done." She might have heard much of this, for it was Tilton's table talk.' But sending her away would only spread her prattle..! Moulton says Hie did prattle out West; but it was against Tilton. Thereupon he had Tilton have his wife write a letter, accusing herself of falsely accusing her husband. Hut Tilton thpught this girl capable of more than prattling ignorance; for before she went he had his wife write a statement, and have the girl sign it, exonerating him. This writing denied that "the kind attentions shown me by Mr. Tilton were dishonorable demonstrations," and affirmed: "I never thought that Mr. Tilton's caresses were for such a purpose." It also charged Mrs. Tilton s mother with trying to bribe her to tell thinsra injurious to Tilton. An additional statement, also in Mrs. Tilton's writing, said this: My Dear Mrs. Tilton: The story that Mr. Tilton once lifted me from my bed and carried me screaming to his own, and tried to violate my person, is a wicked lie. Moulton furnishes these letters. They show plainly enough why the girl was sent to a place of more safety. Moulton says Beecber paid Iter school bills. This is to show she was sent on his account. Beecher says he contributed to the Tilton necessities. The firl was before the Plymouth Church Committee, when she testified that Tilton repeatedly tried to take possession of her person. She also tells of

Tiltons brutality to his wife. She runs, however, into the fabulous when she tells of seeing Susan B. Anthony sitting in Tilton's lap. Nobody will believe that. We suppose this eirl s testimony is about as mediumistic as Mrs. luton s. The moat significant thing is that Tilton had his wife pet a statement from her to exonerate him. Moulton raises a false issue, by proucing a letter from Mrs. Tilton de nying that she desired a separation. He has shown that Tilton could get any statement he wanted' from her; but what Beecher said was, that she consulted him on Tilton's conduct; and he referred her to his wife, who advised her to leave Tilton. Moulton produces two friendly and rather extravagant letters purporting to be trom 31rs. Tilton to Beecher, in 1871, after the first statement of the difficulty, and when they had not seen each other for a year or more. If genuine, they are nut important. No amount of enthusiastic gushing by Mrs. Tilton could count for anything. One of these letters says: "When dear h rank says I may once again eo to old Plymouth, I will thank the dear rather. 1 he other expresses a de sire for his forgiveness, and that "in all the" sad complications of the past year, my endeavor was to keep from ' you all sunenng; to bear myself alone, leaving you forever ignorant of it. My weapons were love, a large, untiring generosity and nest-hiding. -That failed utterly, we both know, but now 1 ak torgivness. Here she is speaking of the wrong she had done him, and of her trying to bear and hide her own suffering. And she is speaking of a time during which they had not seen each other. Her language, as usual, is not in the common-sense style, but the terra nest-hiding is not susceptible of such a construction as Tilton has put upon it. That Beecher saw no committal to any wrong in these letters, is evident by his placing them iu Moulton's hands. But Moulton says that upon this he lost faith in Mrs. Tilton's "character for truth and propriety." He states that after this he rebuked her for speaking of Tilton's evil do ings, and received from her a contrite letter. lie says that some time he went to Tilton's house and asked her apart if, when she told Beecher why she had charged improper solicitations on him, she told him Tilton had confessed infidelitie s to her, and she answered yea. He then called in Tilton, and she denied it. Next day she wrote him that her denial was a lie, and that she had to lie when Tilton was bv. Moulton tells of Tilton's letter to Bacon, which he says he advised against, and the charge in which against Beecher he modified, and thus, as usual, muddled. We then come to Mrs. Woodhull's efforts to press Beecher into Lcr service, and some other miscellaneous correspondence, relating to various meddler; , of which a horde were always busy smelling out this carcass; and then to the blackmail business. Moulton says he received ?5,000 from Beecher to help Tilton, who was struggling with the Golden Age. He accredits it wholly to Beecher's "generosity and kindness toward Tilton, which had always characterized his acts during 'the whole of the unhappy controversy." He says the understanding was that it was to go to Tilton at Moulton's discretion as hi3 own contribution, and that Tilton, till this publication, knew no better. He gives a statement of the payments to Tilton, leaving a balance still in his possession of $4.")0. This shows Moulton an able financier for Tilton. Moulton does not notice Beecher's explicit stateroent that he revolted at a demand for $5,000 more, with a threat of publication. Moulton represents Tilton as a high spirited fellow, who refused a proffered check of $1,000, accompanied by a note for him to sign, for the reason that he would not borrow money when he saw no way of returning it, but a3 receiving contributions from him. . . A long letter is given from Tilton to a Western friend, in December, 1872, relating Bowen's treatment ol him, which he says was because of Bowen's "fear to meet the consequences of the horrible charges which he had made against Henry Ward Beecher," telling what his relations had been to the Woodhull, and denying that there was any ground save Bowen's slander for the scandal she had published. Then follow some letters and explanations about Mrs. Tilton's "mediumistic fits" and Tilton's insanity. And' this ends this enormous budget. , The confidential friend, who procured Beecher's entire confidence and persuaded him to put his reputation wholly in his bands in order tnat he might protect it, has. told all that he received in order to injure his confiding friend and .thereby vindicate his own honor. He who says he procured Beecher's confidence and even confession in order to screen his adultery, has now told all that he received and more in order to convict him of adultery. Has this mass of stuff changed the aspect of this affair ? Not unless

we accept quantity without regard to matter. Tilton's statement, with such extracts as he chose and garbled from the Beecher papers in Moulton's hands, was the strongest statement against Beecher. The publication of tho contents of these extracts in Moulton's shorter statement reduced their suspieious aspect. Beecher's explanation disposed of them. Moulton's mass of stuff is only a dilution of the previous. The only new matter that is lite testimony is Moulton's assertion that Beecher and Mrs. Tilton' confessed their adultery to him. As to Beecher this is incredible, and as to either it needs other testimony. In summing up this matter we remark that there were materials lor a great scandal. The chief were Beecher's intimacy with the Tilton faiuily ; Mrs. Tilton's peculiar nature, and her idolizing admiration of her pastor ; Tilton's envy, jealousy, hatred, and malice, and his desperation alter his downfall. When Tilton began to work up the case, he secured the services of a crafty iriend, having a genius for intrigue, and unscrupulous in tho means he used in getting a hold on others. To give scoie for the work, there was the weakness of the great preacher in trusting affairs to others ; his unbounded generosity; his remorse that he had helped Tilton's downfall with Bowen, and had, as he was persuaded, inconsiderately permitted Mrs. Tilton to become so fond of him as to destroy her husband's happiness. This remorse the crafty, mutual friend rasped, played upon, and fooled to the top of its bent. Beecher was deluded into Moulton's profound plot to suppress the scandal, and every effort only swelled the matter to its inevitable bursting. That which would have had little eflect had Tilton blown it when he opened the war on Beecher, became iormidable by the ever expanding plotting to hedge it in. Tilton seems to have been all the while prancing around, breaking the fence often enough to require a continual enlargement of the inclosurc. Only those who by their own nature or by a precipitateness of mind had come to the conclusion that Beecher was guilty will be convinced by the voluminous deliverance of this confidence man. The most damaging effect it will have to Beecher's fame is in the revelation it makes o! his incapacity in practical affairs. There is a weakness, almost to the degree of imbecility, in his placing this affair in the hands of such a man as Moulton, and continuing this helpless trust until it grew into a matter involving his existence. Moulton wa3 treacherous from the start. The papers Beecher committed to him in confidence were always open to Tilton. There is a weakness in his long toleration of the conceit and jealousy and general cursedness of Tilton. People now see that the great preacher, who speaks off-hand so wisely on the every-day concerns of life, lacks practical common-sense. Mr. Beecher's discourses , run so largely to those subjects which concern common humanity that there was an idea that he was a man of practical wisdom. But when he talks that

which is not wisdom he puts it in such attractive shape that its folly does not appear. But Mr. Beecher has an incapacity in business which is often associated with great genius, and often with the ability to talk or write wisely on these things. This is seen in his carelessness in money matters. Men are prone to overrate qualities they lack. Moulton's business-like promptness, assurance, method, and apparent sharpness impressed Beecher. Here was a man who had the business head he lacked, who could manage a disagreeable affair, and who had a strange desire to take it in hand. So he dropped himself into Moulton's wonderful management. Moulton's office grew continually. He demanded absolute confidence. He allowed Beecher to neither write nor receive any letter relating, however remotely, to this affair, save through him. He gathered in all his papers. He became his conscience-keeper. As far as he could get- Beecher into his Eower by getting all his secrets, he got im. And all the whilo he was betravinc and involving him. Now he throws off the mask and tries to make Beecher's trust in him the means of his ruin. But to the public, sadder than Moulton's infamy and Tilton's downfall, is this revelation of the incompetency of the great preacher in practical affairsthe seeming lack of strong common sense, ana tnat wmcn looks very much like a deficiency in moral courage. Cincinnati Gazette. An Enthnsiantlc Reception Twin Mxcxtain House, N. II., August 22. Bev. Henry Ward Beecher arriv ed here on Thursday evening. The scene of his first appearance on the piazza after amvmg was one seldom witudssed in a, far off spot like this. Everybody hero, men, women and children, - crowded around mm, grasped him by the hand, and showed him by the enthusiasm they manifested in their silent greeting of him, the sympathy they felt and the admiration they cared not to dissemble. It is expected that Mr. Beecher will preach here to morrow. Mr. Beecher preached here to day to a large congregation. Stages, loaded with visitors, came from all the hotels and towns in the vicinity. His text was taken from second Timothy, second chapter, a part of the 19th verse. "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His." The following from an article on the Urooklyn scandal in the Independent, of which Henry C. Bowen is the proprietor, shows to which side he inclines: . "Beecher has presented his own statement, and all those who have loved ana respected him and who has not? have at last hi.d occasion to rejoice that he was able to present so full, eo circumstantial, and 60 powerful a defense. He has taken pains to meet, at full length, every charge and proof atainst hiro, and not only to explain it as consistent with his innocence, but hurl on his accusers charges which they will find it very necessary to meet. We are glad that he has been able to throw so much light on this dark ease, and if. as we trust, his defense shall commend itself to the- charitable good sense of the Christian public, which is unwilling to think evil of so useful a religious teacher, it will be better for Found morals and for the faith which we all desire to keep in its established character." Samuel Casebeer, a young man living-near Summit Grove, Vermillion county, left his home on Saturday to go to a neighbor's house. He was found yesterday lying in the road dead. No marks of violence were found on his person.

If you would see a": true gentle man, mark the man who v. ill turn his eyes away from letters written in the love and confidence of a wo man's trusting heart, and which aro now revealed to the vulgar gaze by one of tho most conceited, egotisti cal, heartless coxcombs that ever craved praise. PulaBki county, in tho extreme southetii part of the State, is afflicted with phenomena. Last week a meteor burst over that region, and now the people have discovered, on the banks of Cache Biver, an acre lot which, from some unknovn cause, has recently sunk ten feet below tho surrounding country They want to know if that is where the meteor '-lit."
