In along course of years, by
gradual accretion, the channels through

| which the waters were supplied became

choked up, and the intense heat of the sun
together with the peculiar character of the
soil, speedily changed the aspect of the
country to what it now presents.
The proposition of M. Lessep’s, which is
endorsed by the Geographical Society of

France, is to re-open one of those long
closed channels, a work of a much less ons
orous nature than the construction of the
Suez Canal, and of comparatively trifling ex-

again over their old bed. The benefits

Tilton, Bowen derided Tilton’s letter and |
‘omised his friendship to me, and Til on |

Mr. Beecher goes on to say that he felt

unhappy at Tilton’s disaster, ‘ as his affairs |

| did not promise that sympathy and strength
| which makes one’s house, as mine has been |
| in times of adversity, arefuge and a tower
| of defence,’

Mr. Beecher continues—

“On the 29th of December, 1870, Mr. Til-
ton having learned that I had replied to bis
threatening letter by expressing such an
opinion of him as to set Mr. Bowen finally
against him, and bring him face to face with
immediate ruin, extorted from his wife, then
suffering from a severe iliness, a document in-
criminating me, and prepared an elaborate
attack on me. On Tuesday evening, Dec. 30,
1870, about 7 o'clock, Mr. Francis D, Moul-
ton called at my house, and with earnestness
said: ‘‘ 1 wish you to go with me to see Mr.
Tilton.” [replied that I could not then, as
I was just going tomy prayer meeting. With
the most positive manner he said, ‘* You must
gu. Somebody else will take care of the
meeting.” I went with him, not knowing
what trouble agitated him, but vaguely think-
ing that I might now learn the solution of the
recent threatening letter. Qn the way I ask-
ed what was the reason of this visit, to which
he replied that Mr. Tilton would inform me, or
words to that effect. Onentering his house
Moulton locked the door, saying something
about not being interrupted. He requested
me to go into the front chamber over the par-
lour. I was under the impression that Mr.
Tilton was going to pour out upon me his
anger for colleaguing with Bowen, and for
the advice of separation given to his wife.
I wished Mr. Moulton to be with me, as a
witness, but he insisted thatI should go bv
myself. Mr. Tilton received me coldly but

and th had made proposals to her of an

had been made to him in July, six months
previous, that his sense of honor and affec

tion would not permit any such document to
remain in existence, that he had burned the
original and should now destroy the oaly
copy, and he then tore the paper into small
pieces. If I had been shocked at such a state-
ment,! was absolutely thunderstruck when he
closed the interview by requesting me to re-
pair at once to his house, where he said Eliz-
abeth was waiting for me, and learn from her
lips the truth of his stories in so far as they
concerned her. This fell like a thunderbolt
upon me. Could it be possible that his wife,
whom I regarded as the type of moral good-
ness, should have mode such false and atro-
cious statements? And yet, it she had noi,
how would he dare to send to her for cor-
tirmation of his charges? I went forth likea
night-walker. IL believe that Moulton went
with me to the door of Tilton’s house. The
housekeeper, the same woman of whom Mrs.
lilton had complained, seemed to have been
instructed by him, for she evidently expected
me—showed me at once to Mrs. Tilton’s room

Mrs. Tilton lay upon her bed, white as mar-
ble, with closed eyes as ina trance, and with
her hands upon her bosom palm to palm, like
one in prayer. She made no motion, and gave
no sign of recognition of my presence, I sat
down near her, and said: ‘* Elizabeth, Theo-
dore has been making very serious charges
against me, and sent me to you for confirme
ation.’ She made no reply or sign; yet it
was plain she was conscious and listening.
I repeated some of his statements—-that I had
brought discord to the family, had alienated
her from him, had sought to break up the
family, had usurped his influences, and then,
as wellas I could, | added that he had ssid
that I had made improper suggestions tosier,
and thatshe had admitted this fact to him
last July. I said, “ Elizabeth, have you made
such statements?’ She made no answer, |
repeated the question, Tears ran dowr her
cheeks and she very slightly bowed her 1ead
in aequiescence. I said, “‘ You cannot nean
that you have stated ali that he has charged?”
She opened her eyes, and began in aslov and
feeble way to explain how sick she had been,
hew wearied out with importunity, that he
had confessed his own alien loves, and said
that he id not bear to think that she was

better than he, that she might win him to
reformation if she would confess that she
had loved me more than him, and that they
would repent and soon, with future concord,
etc. I canno! give her language, but only the
tenor of her representations. I received them
impatiently spoxe lo her in the shortest

language of her course. I said to her, ‘* have
l ever made any improper advances to yeu?”
She said, “No,” Then I asked, *« Why did
you say so to your husband?” She seemed
deeply distressed and said, ‘* My friend,”’—
by that designation she almost always cal-
led me—‘‘I amsorry, but I could not help it;

The remainder of my plain statement con- |
‘

cerning it will be its comment, This docu-
ment was written upon three separale half- |
sheets of letter paper. After it was t nished
Mr. Moulton asked me if I would sign it
“No, it isnot my letter.’ He replied that it |
vould have more weight if I would in some

way indicate that he was authorized to ex-

plain my sentiments. I took my pen and at)
some distance below the writing, and upon
the lower margin, I indicated that I had com-
mitted the document in trust to Mr. Moulton,
and I signed the line thus written by me. A
Mr,
Moulton, of his own accord, said that after
using it he would in two or three day bring
the memorandum back to me, and he caution-
ed me about disclosing in any way that there
was a difliculty between Mr. Tilton and me,
as it would be injurious to Tilton to have it
known that I had quarreiled with him, as
well as to me to have rumors set afloat, 1
did not trouble myse!f about it until more
than a year afterwards. When Tilton began
to write up his case, of which hereafter,
and was looking up documents, I wondered
what was in the old memorandum, and
desired to see it for greater certainty.

memorandum, and said “ You promised to
return it to me.’ He seemed confused for a
moment, and said, “Did 1?” “ Certainly,’
Il answered. He replied that the paper had
been destroyed. On my putting the ques-
tion again, ** That paper was burnt up long
ago,’ he said; and during the next two
years, in various conversations, of his own
accord he spoke of it as destroyed., I had
never asked for or authorized the destruction
of this paper; but I was not allowed to
know that the do¢ument was in existence
until a distinguished editor in New York,
within afew years past, assured me that Mr.
Moulton had shown him the original, and
that he had examined my signature to be
sure Of its genuineness. I know there was a
copy of it since this statement was in pre-
paration, While I rejected this memoran-
dum as my work, or an accurate condensa~
tion of my statements, it does undoubtedly
correctly represent that I was in profound
sorrow, and that I blamed myself with great

sense that, both to God and to the | influence and in my charch, I could never

free myself from a certain degree of respon-
sibility for his misdoings, such as visits a
father.

Mr. Beecher then gives the action of the

| church relative to the proceedings of the

Investigating Committee. He states he
wrote a letter of resignation, but did not
send it in, as he considered it a self sacrifice
which would not stop the trouble. He
showed it, however, to Moulton, and thinks

that possibly Moulton copied it. Beecher

still has the original.
Mr. Beecher concludes as follows :—

Gentlemen of the Committee, in the note
requesting your appointment, 1 asked that
vou should make a full investigation of all
sources of information You are witnesses
that I have in no way influenced or inter-
fered with your proceedings of duties. 1
have wished the investigation to be so search-
ing that nothing could unsettle its results.
[have nothing to gain by any policy of sups
pression or compromise. For four years I
have borne and suffered eneugh, and I will
not go a step further; I will be free. I will
not walk under arod or yoke. If any man
would do me a favor, let him tell all he
knows now. It is not mine to lay down
the law of honor in regard to the use of other
persons’ confidential communications; but,
in so far as my own writings are concerned,
there is not a letter or document which f am
afraid to have exhibited, and I authorize
any, and call upon any living person tu pro-
duce and present forthwith whatever writ-
‘ings they have of whatever source whatever.
It is true, for the sake of decency and public
morals, that this matter should be brought
toanend. U is an open pool of corruption,
exhaling deadly vapors. For six weeks the
nation has risen up and sat down upou scan-
dal. Net a great war or revolution could
have filled the newspapers more than this
question of domestic trouble magnified a
thousandfold, and, like a sore spot on the
human body, drawing to itself every morbid
humor in the blood. Whoever is buried
with it, it is time that this abomination
should be buried below all touch or power
of resurrection.

There was much then that weighed heavily |
on my heart and conscience which now
Weighs only on my heart. Soon after this J

ton was sick or was very late in rising, for |
he was in bed. The subject of my feelings |
and conduct tewards Tilton was introduced
| made a statement of the motives under |
which I acted in counselling Bowen, of my
feelings in regard to Tiiton’s family, disclaim- |
ing with horror the thought of wrong, and |
expressing a desire to do whatever lay in |
human power to remedy any evil | had occa-
and to reunite his family. Tilton }
Was sullen and silent. He played the part |
of an injured man; but Moulton said to Mr. |
Tilton, with intense emphasis, ‘‘ That is all |

that gentlemen can say, and you ought to
accept it. Itis an honorable basis of recon- |

times, and Tilton’s countenance cheered up!

In his crosssexamination, Mr. Beecher
gave an emphatic denial to the charge that
he had been found, with a flushed face, in
Mrs. Tilton’s bedroom, He declared that
he had never admitted to Moulton, or Til-
ton, or to any other person, that he had
ever held any relations with Mrs. Elizabeth
R. Tilton, or ever committed any act to, or
with, or said any word to her, which would
be unfit for a Christian to hoid, do or say to
the wife of his friend, or for a father to hold
do or say to his daughter, or a brother with
asister. In answer to a question concern-
ing his philosophy in the matter of mars
riage, Mr. Beecher said :-—

I am not versed in the philosophy and
cauistry of free love. I stand on the New
England doctrine, in which I was brought
up, that it is best fora man to have one wife,
and that he stand by her, and that he do not
meddle with his neighbors’ wives. I abhor
every manifestation of the free love doctrine
that I have seen in the theory, and I abhor
every advocate of the free love doctrine that
I have known

prudence and want of foresight, for he
thought it was the result of her undue
fection for him, and he could have borne
any punishment if that poor child could
but emerge from this cloud. He judged

from Tilton’s anger and fury that the charge

made by him, and supported by the accus-!
ation of his wife, was to be publicly pressed |

against him, which might result in great |

\ disaster, if not absolute ruin. He consider-

ed his name, his church, and everything

connected with him involved. He says, |

it has been one of the g motive that |

must explain my action during those three

or four years.”’ |
Mr. Moulton visited Beecher at this time,

finding him in a sore distressed condition. |
Moulton seemed convinced that Beecher
had been seeking Tilton’= downfall, had
with Bowen against him, and by his advice,
had nearly destroyed his family. Mr. Beech
er says he needed arguments to induce him
to do or say anything to remedy the injury |

| he believe he had been the active cause of. |

Moulton assured Beecher of Tilton’s purity
Beeclrer ace
cordingly felt convicted of slander in its)
meanest form, become terribly excited, felt

his mind in danger of giving way, poured)
forth his heart in unrestrained grief and bits}
terness of self-accusation, but denying any

intentional wrong. Moulton suid if Tilton

could feel assured of Beecher’s friendlis!
ness, there would be no trouble in making a

reconciliation. Mr, Beecher says:

I gave him leave to state to Theodore my
feelings. He proposed that 1 should write a
letter. I declined; but said thathe could re- |}
port ourinterview. He then prepared to make
a memorandum of the talk, and sat down at
my table and took down, as] supposed, a
condensed report of my talk, for I went on
slill pouring out my wounded feelings over
this great desolation in Tilton’s family. It
was not a dictation of sentence after sentence
—he a mere amanuensis, and I composing |
for him. Mr. Moulton was putting ioto his
own shape part of that which I was saying in
my own manner with profuse explanation.
This paper of Mr. Moulton’s was a mere me-
morandum of points to be used by him in set-}
ting forth my feelings. That it contained
matter and points derived from me, is with-
out doubt, but they were put with sentences
by him and exprefifed as he understood them,
not as my words, but as hints of my figureg
and letters to be used by him in conversing
with Mr. Tilton. He did not read the paper
to me, nor did I read it, nor have I ever seen
it or heard it read, that | remember, until the
publication of Mr. Tilton’s recent documents,
and now reading il I see in it thoughts that
point to the matter of my discourse, but it is
not my paper, nor are those my sentences, nor
is it a correct report of what I said. It is a
mere string of hints hastily made by an un-
practised writer, as helps.to his memory in
representing to Mr. Tilton how I felt towards
his family. If more than this be claimed—if
it be set forth asin any proper sense my let-
ter—I then disown it and denounce it, Some
of its sentences, and particularly that in
which I am made to say that I had obtain-
ed Mrs. Tilton’s forgiveness, I never could |
have said even in substance. I had not ob-|
tained, nor asked, any forgiveness from her,
and nobody pretended that I had done so.
Neither could I ever have said that I humbled
myself before Tilton as before God, except in

dred views of Theodore. A letter with such
intent was accordingly written to her on |
‘

February 17th, 1871, of which acopy was

| furnished to the Committee.

Mr. Beecher said he had no recollection |

| of seeing or hearing read the letter of Tilx
| ton, of February 7th, 1875.

In explanation of saying in his letter to |
Mrs. Tilton that he did not expect to be |
alive many days, Mr. Beecher states that
he has felt as if he might be struck with |
fifteen years, |

Mr. Beecher then details the action of the
Church relative to expunging Tilton’s name |
from the rolls, and said the Woodhulls ad, |
vertise@ in May, 187], an article shadowing |
an account of a disturbance in Tilton’s fami.

Mr. Beecher next gives an account of the

Jowen paying Tilton the $7,000 claimed.
Subsequently, after that Mrs, Woodhull had
endeavoured to obtain money out of Beech- |
er and his wife; that woman published her
version of the Jilton scandal, to which Til-
ton was believed to be in connivance.

Mr. Beecher refers to letters written by
him, one of which was to Mr. Moulton, in
which he refers to approaching death. He

led form.

The tripartite treaty was against Beechs
er’s judgment, and a patched up peace. He
continues :

That I have |

grievously erred in judgment
with this perplexed case, no one is more
conscious than 1am. 1 took the wrong
path, and accepted a digastrous guidance in
the beginning, and have indeed travelled on |
a rough and ragged edge in my prolonged |
efforts to suppress this scandal, which has
at last spread so much desolation through
the land; but I cannot admit that I erred in
desiring to keep these matters out of sight.

Christian men, to judge whether almost any
personal sacrifice ought not to have been
made rather than to suffer the morals of an |
enure community, and especially of the |
young, to be corrupted by the filthy details |
of scandalous falsehoods, daily iterated and |
amplified for ‘he gratification of impure curi- |
osity, and the demoralization of every child |
who is old enough to read,

The full truth of this history requires that }
one more fact should be told, especially as}
Mr. Tilton has invited It. Money has been |
obtained from me in the cause of these affairs |
in considerable sums, but I did not at first
look upon the suggestions that I should con-
tribute to Mr. Tilton’s pecuniary wants as
savouring of blackmail. This did not occur
to me until I had paid perhaps $2,000. Afiers
wards I contributed at one time $5,000.
After the money had been paid over in five
$1,000 bills, to raise which I mortgaged the
house Llivein, | felt very much dissatistied
with myself about it. Finally a square des
mand and a threat were made to me by my
confidential friend that if $5,000 more were
not paid Tilton’s charges would be laid be~
fore the public. This, 1 saw at once, was
blackmail in its boldest form, and I never
paid a cent of it, but challenged and request-
ed the fullest exposure.

After the summer of 1873, I became ins
wardly satisfied that Tillon was inherently
and inevitably a ruined man. I no longer
trusted either his wordor his honor. I came
to feel that his kindness was but a snare.
and his professions of friendship treacheries.
He did not mean well by me, nor by his own
household; but I suffered all the more on
this account. Ashe had grown upunder my

INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF AND
DUMB,

WE trust that the following Appeal of the
Directors of the Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb at Halifax, will be handsomely re-
sponded to by the citizens of Charlottetown.

Mr. Hutros, Superintendent of the In-
stitution, will be here in a few days to so-
licit contributions. He has special claims |
upon us, for our deaf mutes have largely
benefitted by his training. During the
past year four deaf mutes from Charlotte-
town, and several from other parts of the
Island were under Mr, Hvutron’s care.
APPEAL TO THE FRIENDS OF DEAF MUTE EDUCA=

CATION, BY THE DIRECTORS OF THE INSTITUTION

FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB, HALIFAX,

SEVENTEEN years have passed away since
the Halifax Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
in the obscurity and feebleness of an*infant
cause, made its first appeal to the sympathy
and liberality of the public, in behaif of the
benighted deaf mutes of these Provinces, for
whose intellectual and moral] training no pro-
vision previously existed. Encouraged at
that time by a generous response both from
private and Legislative bounty, the Directors,
trusting in the guidance of an over-ruling
Providence, assumed the responsibility of
purchasing suitable premises and making ars
rangements for the establishment and main-
tenance of an efficient Institution.

Without any extraordinary or special ef-
forts to secure funds, the stream of voluntary
liberality and legislative bounty has con-
tinued to flow towards its support down to
the present time, if not in volume adequate to
all the necessities of tha work, yet sufficient
to make the history of the Institution, dur-
ing the last sixteen years, one of quiet but of
steady and progressive usefulness, its fruits
being visible in almost every part of our own
and neighbouring Provinces, in scores of deaf
mutes brought from a state of practical hea~
thenism, from mental and moral darkness,
to the position of intelligent, virtuous, happy
and useful members of society. Twice in the
history of the Institution, in 1859 and 1863,
it was found necessary to enlarge our accomo-
dations, for which the needful means were
not Wanting inresponse to the proper appeal.
Eleven years ago the Directors expended a |
large sum in additions and alterations re~ }
quired by the growth of the Institution. And |
now the time has again arrived when the
sanitary and general welfare of the establish-
ment committed to their care, cails for im-
proved accommodations on a larger scale

For some years past, the Institution, while
enjoying a degree of freedom from serious
sickness rarely experienced in such institut-
ions,/assuffered from the'effects off overcrowd-
ing and the lack of hospital accommodations.
As the consequence of this, when last spring
acase ortwo of diptheria appeared among
the pups, in order to secure the proper ins
solation and treatment of the disease, and
preventits spreading, it was found necessary
to break up the school and send the pupils
to their homes, to the interruption of their
studies and the deteriment of the Institution. |

The matter has been earnestly pressed on |
Principal of the Institution, and the Direct-
ors feel that no time should be lost in pros
viding’ as far as possible for future emergen-
cies of a similar kind that may arise. j

They have accordingly resolved to pro-}
ceed at once with the needful buildings. |

taken for the extension and elevation of the
wings of the present building to the height}
uniform with the centre, including several |
other important alterations indispensible to
the efliciency of the institution. The cost of |
the work, which is to be finished by the first
of September next, will be about Five Thou-
sand Dollars. |

The Directors have not the funds in hand,
to meet the heavy expense of this undertak-
ing, but, convinced of its necessity, and trust-
ing in Him who has the hearts of all men in
his Dands, and who has thus far blessed their
efforts they confidently appeal to the Christi-
an community throughout Nova Scotia and
the other Provinces, which have shared in the
benefits of the Institution during the last
seventeen years, to provide the means now
required thus to extend and perpetuate the
blessing of education to the “ children of
silence ’ within our borders.

Subscriptions will be thankfully received
by Dr. Parker, Chairman of the Board; Geo.
H. Star. Esq., Treasurer; the Secretary ;
and Mr, Hutton, Principal of the Institution.

At the request of the Directors, Mr. Hutton
will shortiy undertake a personal canvas for
subscriptions in the principal towns of the
Province; and with the experience of the
past in view, the Directors feel that it is quite
superfluous to bespeak for him a courteous |
and liberal reception.
