Attorney General Williams lle-
cides , first , that the operation of the
conditions subsequent in congres
sional grants of public lands , does
not depend upon the rules of com
mon jaw , but upon the intention of
Congress , as gathered frona the lan
guage employed in the grant ib-ejfj
second , that the grant of lands
made by Congress to Wisconsin , by
an act of Congress , June 10th , 1850 ,
to aid in the construction of rail *
roads in the State of Wisconsin , by
an act of Congress , Juno 10th , 1850 ,
to aid in the construction of certain
railroads , in which it was provided
that if said roads are not completed
within - = years , no further
sales shall bo made , and lines \\i\- \
Bold shall revert to the XJntpd |
States. It is determined as to pub
lic lands unsold at the time on no-
count of failure to complete roads as
specified , in the act that no con
gressional action or Judicial pro
ceedings are necessary , but that
such unsold lands will be remitted
to the public domain by publication
of an order by the scprptary of the
interior , restoring them"to settle
ment and niaiket.

Although there is nothing of im
portance in the way of new devel
opments in the Bcccher-Tilton
scandal , the newspapers still find
new themes of percussion sufficient ,
with the assistance of a mass o
glaring headlines , to fill severa
columns relating to the all-absorb
ing Brooklyn topic. The Eagle
from one of its headlines , "Fightinj
expected all along the line , " refer
ring to the coming law suit , give
the impression that a bloody battle
between the armies is imminent
instead of the mortifying battle o
character that is now being waged
The Eagle says that during tlio
committee meeting last night con
siderable conversation occurred be
tween Moulton and the committee
relative to the testimony. Moultoi
explained that he was not yet readj
to submit his testimony , and thei
read his preliminary statement
suggesting Saturday evening nex
as the time for them to receive his
disclosures. The committee pre
ferred an earlier date if possible , as
they were anxious to get througl
their labors. Moulton said he wouk
try and get it ready for Friday eve
ning , and if he succeeded wouli
notify the committee Friday morn
ing. He considered that Beeeher
should testify first , but the commit
tee held that this was unjust , as
Beeeher was entitled to know all
that was said against him before
making his defense , and was
also entitled to tee all the
letters of his which were
said to be in Moulton's posses
sion. The committee assented to
the request 01 Moultcn that he
might bring his own stenographer ,
and the latter then retired.
The Eagle states that Moulton led
the committee to believe thathehail
not as yet prepared his statement of
alleged facts. The Eagle claims to
have received knowledge from good
authority that Moulton's statemenl
is , and for several days has been pre
pared , and that Moulton was with
Gen. Butler from uie 29th of July
until the 3d of August , and that his
business was to obtain Butler's as
sistance in preparing his stacement
for the committee.
The Eagle also states that some
time after the appearance of Dr.
Bacon's letter , Bacon ollercd his
services to Beeeher through a third
party , but Beeeher declined to re
ceive them. Manyotherprominent
gentlemen , several of them of na
tional reputation , have also , accord
ing to the Eagle , offered their ser
vices to Bcccher , among them S. M.
Conkling.
Beeeher has not engaged counsel
or accepted the services of any one.
The committee did not care to go
outside of the congregation for assis
tance , and therefore availed them
selves of tjip sprvjces of Tracey and
Hill. The Eagle further says , it is
distinctly stated that Moulton has
in his posscssionjno letters or docu
ments of any kind from Beeeher
referring to the subject matter of
Tilton's charges , on which were not
easily explainable in Beecher's
statement yet to come , and that a
feeling prevails that when Beeeher
does speak there will be a crush of
reputations which are only under
suspicion. TLc Eagle also publishes
several interviews on the subject of
the scandal , among them were Mr.
Mbujtqn and'J. f. Studwell , who
was at Ofip tinie publisher _ of th'e
Revolution ,
TIlP rpportpr represent , Moulton
as being very busy at his statement ,
looking as though as If ho was in
the agonies of composition. But lit
tle Information was obtained ; he
will lay the papers before the com
mittee in the order they came to
In'rn , leaving that body and the pub
lic to drji flfUir pwn inferences.
Studwpll declared himsefon ] Beeeh
er sjcjp , a.njfjgx.resse ) < l hjmsejfconfi-
tlpnt tjie piynioutH pastor welcome
out all right. He believed that Moul-
toii meant mischief , and said he
and others niuat be very careful as
to what they said ; he once had a
conversation wjth ijoulton on this
subject a't Jacksonville ; FJa. , gb.ort-
ly after the Woodhull convention at
Washington , when Moulton declar
ed to him that there was no truth
whatever jn tl9 ! minors about Mr.
Beeeher. He himself had close re
lations , both social and business ,
with Tilton , but had split upon the
rock of free love.
The Union also publishes a num
ber of Interviews , none of which
throw any light on the subject.
The only item of news in reference
to the scandal is the following :
The parties to the Beecher-Tilton
scandal may be seen to be hard at
work preparing for thp flqal struggle
In the contest before the investiga
ting committee. It is 'generally
believed that If the matter Is to be
settled outside of the courts that
Moujtonte fortlieorning statement
will settle It , as hs | statement will
necessarily be submitted with the
documents in support of it which
botfi Beeeher and Tilton referred teas
as being arthgntfp.
The Argus pubjishcsan interview
with Judge Morris , Tilton's counsel ,
on the subject of the impending law
suit. The Judge stated that as Til-
tqn | ) tid not thought of employing
counsel untjl within a few days , he
"
poujtj not give any" information as to
the course of futurp proceedings.
He was only just beginning to
make himself familiar with the tes
timony ; but he had never seen a
case so strongly fortified at all
points , Ijotjx great and small , as
Tilton's Pa.e'd. Ife rpferrpd as a
minor point to Mrs. Tilton's ' apcur
eation , that Tilton had all Jils life
been making war on Beeeher , and
to contradict this , brought forth
fop reporters inspection , a large
pile of correspoiiflencp , between
Beeeher am ) Tilton , bearing dntps
'
frorn Optober , } SG3 to May IB-JO. 'All
those Jettprs contained the strong
est assurance of mutual friendship.
The Judge stated that during two
or three months following the lost
lettters , the estrangement took
place between Tilton and his wife ,
and on the third day of July , of
the same year , she made her con
fession to her husband. He assured
the reporter that the pvir
dence which ho possessed , and
which ho was engaged in ,
arranging preparatory to the trial
was most conclusive and convincing
he had over known Jn any case of
law , and particularly Mrs. Tilton's
statements concerning her hus
band's cruel treatment , locking her
jn her room , freezing and starving
her , wjU be shown to be fictitious.
Mr , Bacon Is stjll in JJrooKlyn. but
declines to talk alxjut the gcaiidal.
He expects to return to Woodstock ,
Conn. , to-morrow. Mrs. Tilton re
mains at Mr. Ovington's residence.
Frank Carpenter is. expected here
to-day. Beeeher remains quietly at
home. His statement will be made
public early next week. There is
no telling when the committee will
terminate its labors , now that Moul
ton has returned and agreed to ap
pear before them. Tilton left his
residence yesterday , and after along
interview with his counsel , departed
for Keyport , N. J. , on a visit to his
parents.

in Moulton's last letter are pointed

with Tilton all along , and his evh

the Idea that the whole afihlr is in

he will sustain his character for

part of a peace-njaker , will at least
tell truly and impartially all he

A charge of a serious character
has been preferred against Mayor

Mayor a copy of the charges for his

WASHINGTON , Aug. 7.
Lieut. Colonel Davidson , of the
10th Cavalry , has forwarded to the
General of the Army the report of
the talk with Ashahobe and Asatuy
of the Perneth band of Comanches ,
which is interesting , as showing the
cause of the present hostilities of
the Comanches and other tribes.
After some conversation in which
they inquired as to how they were
to be treated , Colonel Davidson
asked the Indians what the Com
anches had to comp'ain of ,
and what were the causes of
the general hostility on the part
of the Comanches , Kiowas and
Cheyennes. They replied that the
Comanches had nothing to complain
of on the part of the government
agent , troops , or whites , but tnat
some two montlis ago a prophet
arose among them , who told them
he had an interview with the Great
Spirit , who said the CaddoesWich-
itas and other Indians who were
adapting ; the mode of life of the
whites were going down the hill
fast as regarded.population , and the
Comanches would do the same if
they followed the same road. The
way for them to be again the pow
erful nation they once were was to
go to war and kill off all the whites
they could ,
Tile chiefs chimed in with the
feelings and wishes of the evil dis
posed of the nation , and the pres
ent war is the result.
