The Long-looked-for Statement
of Mr. Moulton.
YORK , August 13.
Gentlemen of the committee :
When I was last before you , I
stated I would , at your request , pro
duce such documents as I had , and
make such a statement of facts as
had come to my knowledge , on the
.subject of your inquiry. I fully in
tend so to do , and have prepared
my statement of facts as sustained
in my documents , and made an
exhibition of all papers that have
come in any way to my possession
bearing on the controversy between
the parties ; that this statement
must of course bear with more or
less force upon one or the other of
them , upon mature reflection , aided
by the advice of my most valued'
friends , I have reconsidered tnat
determination , and am obliged to
say to you that I feel compelled
from a sen e of duty to the parties ,
to my relation to this controversy
and to myself , neither to make a
statement or produce documents.
"When I first became a party to
the unhappy controversy between
3Ir. Beechcr and Mr. Tilton , I had
no personal know ledge nor anydoc-
timent in my possession which
could cllcct either. Everything
that I know of in fact or have re
ceived of papers has come to me in
a most sacred confidence , to be used
for a purpose compromising and
t-ettling all difficulties between them
and preventing , so far , as possible ,
any-knowledge of their private af
fairs being brought to public notice.
For this purpose all their matters
have been entrusted to me and for
none other. If I should now use
them it would not be for the pur
pose of peace and reconciliation , butte
to voluntarily take a part in the
controversy which they have seen
Jit to renew between themselves.
How faithfullv , earnestly , and
honestly I have labored to
do my duty to the parties for
peace , they both know. ' The ques
tion for me to settle for .myself and
no other , is now , ought I to do any
thing to aid either party in renew
ing the controversy by the use of
that which I received and have used
only to promote harmony ? On my
honor and conscience I think I
ought not , whatever misconstrue-
tion and vituperation may come up
on me I must adhere to the dictates
of my own judgment and preserve
at least my own frelf-respect. J call
attention to the fact that yours is a
mere voluntary tribunal , and what
ever I do here is ( lone voluntary and
not as a compelled witness. When
summoned before any tribunal hav
ing the power to compel a produc
tion of the testimony jmd 'a state
ment of the facts , I shall ever pro
duce these papers , or give any of
these confidential j statements.
I reserve to my&elfj to judge
of the emergency , J which I
hope may never come agaiv > Bt
my wish , as > I never have been iri
sympathy with a renewal of this
conflict. Tart of these documents
have been given to the public. Iq . o
fftpi ePHl'jtoJpe 111 rft Wtp them
tyW censpff , its \ put just thprefore ,
and due the parties , that those doc
uments , portions of' which h ve
Ijeen given , shall le ; jfot | nto your
linmjs. In respqnso to a thrice re
newed request of your com.rq.Utee , I
have , thprefore , copies of them.
whiph I produce here , and place jn
the hqmls of ih.e eoinmUtepvich
the Ijopeand request that after they
have been examined by them , they
may bp re.turnpJ f0 me. If
any controversy sliqlj arise as
to the authenticity of these
copies or document ? on that point ,
I shall hold myself open to speak ,
with this excuptJou , except in de
fence of rny honor and , the upright
ness of my course in all this unfor
tunate and unhappy businessat pu
rity and candor , which 1 aW'fW to
the consejejipes Of hpth. parties to
sustain me. I do not pVopo'seand i
hope may never be calico t\ppn \ hpre-
after , to speqk cjthpr as to the facts
or to produce any papem that I have
received from either of the parties
involved herein.

ialrMqultoji , the committee desire -
sire to ask you some questions , not

BROOKLYN , August 13. ,
An interview with Tilton js pub
lished by the Argus to-day. Tillon
says he has no doubt of his com
plete vindication. He also said tiiat
General Butler is perfectly familiar
with the points of the detailed state
ment which Moulton had prepared ,
but did not present , Butlertold him
( Tilton ) that that statement , if pub
lished , would klH Beechcr ; it was
simply damning. " Tilton positively
denies garbling letters , as he has
been charged with. lie asked D , js-
trict Attorney " \Vjnslow , who had
examined the letters , If he thought
he ( Tilton ) had garbled them in his
statement. "Winslow said , "hardly ,
M hy did Mr. Beechcr write those Icfc
ters ?
Tjjton said he has more evidence
in reserve , but hopes to settle the
case without producing it. He will
never compromise. It is barely
possible that Moulton's statement
will be jven to the press to-night.
It Is impossible to learn anything
from members of the committee , as
all when approached by the report
ers on the subject immediately he *
come silent and.rnystprious. . De-
spjtp unfavorable \ } comment by
the press on the secrecy of the com
mittee's actions the members , or
such of them as will condescend to
speak at al | , sa.y tip } publc | will
he satisfied wth } the result when
published by the committee , and
all will acknowledge that the in
vestigation has been thorough anil
perfectly impartial.
'
Augustus Starrs , at whose resi
dence Moulton's statement was pre
sented the other night , said to-daj'
that the statement ' did.n't amount
to anything'j j nd that' the public
' ' "
hau qeen led' to' expect "it to be a
\vonderful statement , but that when
} t is published they will feel them
selves woefully deceived. It does
no't gva | the ease a' single new feat
ure , and Storrs thinks Moulton has
insisted that it should be kept back
so as to break $ ts falj. Tlip reports
t\ifA a compromise had been effec
ted , gained many believers , imd it
was stated that Gen. Butler h.ad.

It was examined by the secretary ,
who approved tljp recommendation

SIR : I would respectfully report
