Mr. Beecher lias made a formnl demand upon Moulton , for lettcro and documents pertaining to his case. It K understood that Moulton lias consented to appear before the com mittee. It is not likely , however , that he Mill make any important disclosures , as he still adheres to his determination to remain silent in regard to secrets in his possession , until he shall have received joint written requests of both Beecher and Tilton , to make them public. In an interview with Bencher yesterday , that gentleman said it was impossible for him to say whether he would prepare a state ment , or submit to an examination. That was for the committee to de cide. cide.Members Members of the committee arc uncertain when the investigation will close. Moulton's return has caused some delay , as they now hope to secure his testimony. tO mglll. ii ! w av.l,1.r Ka. onlloil work is now narrowed down to Beecher and Moulton. A full report of the proceedings will probably be given to the public beibi e the end of the week. Tilton still remains at his Living ston street house. He has collected all tne evidence in support of his coming suit against the Plymouth pastor , and has delivered the papers to ex-Judge Morris , his counsel. Ihe documents have not been fully received , and it will be some days before the summons and complaint will be served. After service twenty days will be allowed for Beecher's answer , and then will come the in terminable motions on the part of the defense to strike out , demur , amend , etc. The lit.gation , if begun , bids * fail- to last a year or more before reach ing any conplqsion. The papprsin the suit for crim. con. will be very voluminous , but Tjlfon's counsel , of course , refutes to disclose any of their contents. The case , by neces sity , will be brought in the supreme court.circuit of Kings county. Nnw YORK , Aug. o.
