Moulton Requires a Little More Coaxing Before He Will Show Up His Little Statement. ' " " ' * * 'if Theodore Will Come to Me on His Knees , " then -Mrs. Til- ton Will Again Take Theodore Back. jSrvvORIC , August 12. Thesituation regarding theBeech- er scandal is in the same unsatisfac tory uncertainty as yesterday. Moulton'd statement is still with held from the public , and the reports regarding its probable publication are very contradictory. Some who pretend to be authority on the sub ject say it will be given to the press only after Beechcr's testimony is rendered , and others say that it will le withheld entirely , jis a compro mise of the controversy is now un der consideration and still others that it will be given to the news papers this afternoon' . Xothing po itive is known'andall is specu lation. It is said that Moul ton's lengthy document which the committee did not accept , is as strong against Beecher as Mr. Tilton's sworn state ment. A friend of Moulton's says he won't give it up unless the pre- goards it out of him. It is death- dealing paper , and if Moulton gives it up for publication , he will be Mr. Beecher's assassin. Moulton says he has nothing further to say in the matter , and that the committee and him are done with each other. Beecher's statement before the committee to-night is anxiously looked for in hope that it \ \ ill clear the mystery in which the whole matter is now involved. Xews- papers comment somewhat crimi nally on the sudden change in the course of tactics in withholding evi dence now after giving publicity to previous testimony , and icfer to hints at compomise in severe terms. There appears to be a gem-mi be lief that strenuous efforts are being made to settle the matter quietly by the movements of the parties inter ested , and the private confab ? be tween the counsel on both sides seems to confirm the belief that those in a position to know , and declines : to be interrogated on this point. Mrs. Tilton , when asked if she ever : would return to Irev husband said : "If-Theodore comes to me on his : knees , and solemnly proves to me that he will never .falsely accuse me again , and hush this slander for the sake of my children , I will return to him. if not , I Will never want to ; look at his face agajn. " One of the committeem.en say } Beechor will lay hjs statement be fore the committee to-day and be examined. On sermon writing and the preparation of his lectures , it is well known , Beecher has a decided , dislike to prolonged labor Aith his pen , and he has shown the same : characteristic in thp piysent caso. Instead of preparing -written state ment , article by article , ho has dic tated , or lather declaimed , his de fense to a stenographer , who wrote notes and subniitted them to T\epph- \ } er for GQrreoUoii. Three suph copies have been made aiid destroyed , and even as late as yesteiday it seemed not unlikely . wrjttpn manuscript , ' 'and e jnstoad an impassioned pica , containing the substance of the ; written defense , hut varying in phraseology from the formal sla.tp : \ ment. A tinjLconfercniie was Held last pvening t Beecher's house , continuing tiU'one o'clock , Beecher's statement will be lengthy and exhaustive , touching all the points of evidence heretofore elicited to Insure this result. Xotes from the stenographer have been > given to Beecher this evening. A large portion of the'statement will be devoted to letters in Tilton's charges , and a full explanation of them will be given. XEW YORK , August 12. . At about one o'clock thi morn ing , the steamer City of Boston , of a ] the X ° r\vich line , on her way to Xew York , ran down the schooner Daniel Fray , Capt.

It is stated that his decision is that Edwards fairly won the fight , and he will so decide officially when Edwards and Cell yer arrive here on Friday next. Xn\v YORK , August 12. Mr. Moulton said this morning that his statement would not be pre sented to the public today | , but re fused to answer as to when it would be given out. § General Tracj' was met going to Mr. Shearmen's housje. He said that he had ne idea when Moulton's statement would be given to the press , but he thoughtlt Avould not be until Beecher had testified , when both would be given. It is believed that Itfr. Beecher will be before the Investigating committee this afternoon , but on ffiia matter now , as upon all others cpnnected"w.ith the great scandal , the committee are silent. SPRIXOFIELD , 111. , August 12. The" old-line D'emocfacy of the States are not pleased with the call for a hybrid convention recently is sued by the clique of compromisers headed by McCormick , of Chicago , as chairman , and tailed by Ed. Mcrritt , of Springfield , as secretary. Mr. Joseph Ledlie , of this city , wag chosen as the chairman of the straight-out Democratic State Cen tral Committee in 1872 , when the regulars were fighting against a co alition with disaffected members and disappointed office-seekers of the Republican party , for the pur pose of defeating the regular Repub lican ticket. It is claimed by the regulars that the time-seivinpf bol ters of the Democratic party went out of the party when they'madean agreement to vote for a Ijiopublican for President , and by that act they forever placed themselves without the pale of the party , beyond recall. Mr. Lediie , therefore , asserts his right as chairman of the State Dein- cratic Central Commutes , to call a State Convention , to meet at Spring- geld on the 2oth of August , the bame day on which the hybrid con vention \\111 meet , to take such ac tion and make such nominations as therepcesentativcsof the pure Dem- crats of the State may in their wis dom see lit. Telegrams , received from numer ous ojd-line Democrats , give in their adhesion to the straight-out Democratic movement , am } prom ise hearty co-operation. Among the many communications are tele grams from General Singleton and Colonel AY. A. Richardson , of r Quiucy , who spoke inery uncom plimentary tcims of the ( 'mulatto jonvention , " as thejcajl the Iles- ing-Whito affair of the 2Gth inst The communications ali denounce Ihe action of the pretending Demo cratic State Central Committee in Celling out to He ing , in abandon fl ing the name of the party , and nni- ting with the fag-ends of all parties in the hope of picking up a few fall ing crumbs. They all express a lirm determination to fight the old light for the principles which they iold even though they be defeated. From present indications it is safe o predict that the straight-out par- y will have a pretty lair repreaeiua- ion at their convpption. MuMi'ius , August 12.
