In his newspaper work he was strongly supportive of abolitionism and the Union cause in the Civil War. From 1860-1871 he was assistant to Henry Ward Beecher. However, in 1874 he filed criminal charges against the clergyman for "criminal intimacy" with his wife Libby Tilton. Following the apparent acquittal of Beecher in the trial, Tilton moved to Paris, where he lived for the rest of his life.
