I'. TELEGRAPHIC. " Witness thou proccoded to relate an Inter tew Willi Beecher, In which witness protes ted against the public being allowed to rest in the belief that lio (witness) hud wrouged JJsecher, when tlio lout was just the couulra ry. He told Beecher his pi opositiun wax to publish his letter ot contrition with a note to the public from witness Baling they could now see who had committed a crime. Wit uess told him, how e or, that lie dui'nt want to resort to such a severe method If it could be avoided, and sugge-led that hu (Oeobei ) had better correct the iuiprebsion himself in a milder way. Botcher and Moullou then consulted with regard to the matter. On lay 1st, 1873, Moulton presented Ttlton u proposition Irom Beecher to resign the Ministry of Plymouth Church. Moulton read the proposed resignation and asked Tilton what he thought of that as an expedient. Witness replied: "Ymi tell ISeecher that if he resigns his min istry in this crisis, flinging back thai shadow on my family, I will shoot him upon the street." Nhw York, Feb. 3. In the Boecher trial this morning, Tilton, continuing bis testimo ny, related the particulars of his last inter view Willi ouovuen vvikuuBis luouuuju tt letter written by him and sajit to Beecher Way , loi-i, wuion was reaa aua piacea in evidence. It rotated to his (witnesf) refusal to accept money from Boecher to proceed with hut family to Europe and remain a .number of jears. Witness then related the circumstances attendant upon the calling of the investigating committee in July, 1874, and the leaving of his house by Mis. Tilton. She did not leave against his will. She bad a will of her own, aud acted upon it. At the same time, he did not attempt to restrain her. Winess next gave the history of the girl Boehle Turner, and donled positively that he over took her from her bed to bis or that any improper conduct was ever ex hibited by him toward her. Beecher, from first to last, never denied too criminal inter course with Mrs.Tillou. Whenever he spoke of it shen el ways said he was not to blame. Witness identified the reports prepared by ,1:1m and put Ino Moultou's hands. One he prepared at the suggestion of Geur-ral Tracy, after Mrs.Tillou h-.u been before the commit jeeund Irfeoey had told v.)tuess of the evi dence given by her. General Tracy told me I need have no anxiety csncernlug it, that Mr. Tilton had gone down to the committee. JroniMia. Ovington's house; that previous to the assembling of the committee he, Tracy, had instructed her what to aay and how to say it; that he had put the question to her that she might make no blunders, and that bho Came belore the committee to deny everything. That tboro had been no wrong between her and Beecher, aud that there had bean no proposition -of wrong towards her, and that there was no fruudatlon whatever for the scandal; and Tracy, in making this mrrative, wept and said "Now if you take the right advantage of Mrs. Tilton's appear ance onto re the committee now is the oppor tunity of suppressing the bcandal foiecr." What tho General said to me made a great impression on my mind, and I said "if there Is a chance of saving Elizabeth, Heaven linnwn T would be onlv too glad to avail my self of it." and I told him I would allow him to explain to me the mode of procedure. He said, here are a number of gentlemen, and they can summon whom they chose, aud the committee will be bound to mako a roport on the basis of what these people choose to put down before the committee to the advan tage of all parties. That was Tracy's theory, and I told him I would co operata with him in that Tracy then asked me what fort of re port would satisfy me, and X told him 1 would stand by anv report which would do xne no injustice and reinstate Elizabeth. After recess Tilton resumed the stand and identified the letters produced by Fullerton, and which were written by Mrs. Tilton to her husband during the years 18G7 68 G9-70; also certain letter from Tilton to his wife during tbo same period. KUerton read tho letters, all exDresBslnsr devoted aflectlon. j.,..?" r0-; HUled and testified that with the exception vof liia absences on lecturing tours, there was no separation between himself and his wife from tile time they wero married until the llih of July, when she left him, except that low days previous to that date, on the night Jie found that eh.8 had united with Tracj msainst htm, he left the house with the pur pose of tepsraling from her. He returned Jtext morning to see Tracy, who gave him null an acoomutof llerappoarance before the commute that he went to soe her, and there after rtmained with her as before, until she Jeft on the 11th of July, on which morning she awoke him about six a m , bade him good by, said she was going to Mr. Overton's. Bo far as he hag heard she has since been there and at other places. I don't understand that licr residence is at Ovingtou's. I understand that her residorce is at my house. (Sen&a tlon.) Witness was again asked his age, and repeated that he was 39, having been born October Sd 1SS5. His wiieisone or two years older, He w married at 20. Had known his wife when she was 10. Up to the time she left him their intercourse was close and intimate at. possible In humin affairs. He thought his wife had mere than common bruin. Nkw York, Feb. 4. In the Boecher case to day Kvarta continued the cross examina tion of Tilton, tho principal points being with reference to bisfree-loe doctrines as shown iu his published article "Love, Mar riage and Divorce," and others which were put in evidence. There was a long dlscus iion between coupsel as to the admission in evidence of articles irom the Qolden Age not written or sanctioned by Tiltou. The Court ruled that only such articles as were written by blm or sanctioned by hiui could bo ad mitted. Among articles sought to be Intro duced was one which lilton disavowed knowledge of until alter publication, which lie did Dot sanction, and wuich he ald was written by a member of Plymouth Church, lttcess. , ,. After reoesa Tilton's cross-examination was continued. He identified tho biography of Mrs. Woodbull, which Evans wanted to put in evidence, but the court ruled It out aud livarts took exception. He was then cross oxamiued closely at length in reference to ads friendship for Beecher, when it began and when and why he changtd his estimate of bliu. Tilton testified to hu early atlt cllou and admiration for Beecher, begluning when lie (wiinew) was a boy of 10 or 17, but gradn ally modlljiug and changing as he grew older and had experience and acquaintance with the world and men, illustrating by say ing be ranked Sumner and Greeley above Beecher in everything. He testified to his clce intimacy with Beecher: to inviting him to visit nla bouse, because bis society was m pleasure and be always wanted to share all treasures with Elizabeth.

The minority of the Committee are opposed to ?uy new tariff bill, but thore seems to be no doubt the bill will be reported, probably by Monday. In the House Lenor defended his action as Republican member in voting steady against the motion to suspend rules so a to adopt the new rule by which the Civil Rights Bill could be passed. He declared himself a strict Republicau, but be opposed the Civil Rights Bill in accordance with the viowa Of the peo ple of his district. E. R. Hoar advocated the bill not for any immediate effect for good it might have, but the value of the act was similar to that ef the Declaration of Independence, Crain (colored) advocated the bill, and said colored people bad control of the whole school system of South Carolina, yet had not mixed bchools iu the State except Iu the State College.

Brown, of Kentucky, oppoeted the bill, de claring its success had been in a moafuro ac complished by daring and revolutionary in vasions on the lime-honored rules of tho House. It has been born in malignity, would be passed in defiance aud violation of the Constitution, and executed ho feared in violence and blooilHhed.
