Bowen and Walsh.

Now that the Country has been purged
from the imputation OF unfolding and Off
cially approving the conduct of these two
renegades in their anti American pander
ing to the interests ard withdrawing the
crimes of Kingcraf5, we should be satisfied
to let their deeds and their names sink into
oblivion if their apologists would be quiet.
We do not object to Walsh's bowling out
being termed a resignation if there is any
thing consoling in the term, and if Bowen's
friends choose to have it that he resigned
the Harvard Professorship, SO be it But
their deliberate misstetements of the
grounds of-objestion TO those worthless, the
causes of their mutual discontinue, cannot
be permitted to pass unexposed. The
principles involved are too vital, too sa-
cred, for that. And when we see paper
of the standing Of the Boston Journal lend
itself to the propagation of the deliberate
and outrageous falsehoOd that Bowen was
rejected because he paS Wing, we cannot
allow it to pass unrebuked. The Journal
clearly knows better-knows that Wings
were among the most active and determined
of BOwen's opponents, and that other nom
nations from the same Faculty to respon-
sible posts in the University were confirmed
without a dissenting voice by the same
Board by which and at the very meeting
when Bowen was rejected, and that no one
inquired nor cared what were their views
on the questions of domestic politics which
divide the American People, though the
fact doubtless is that most if not all Of them
are Wings But who cares button
whether they are Wings or not
Nor is it true-,hough paper so re-
spectacle as the Providence Journal has
been used to give it utterance and curen-
cy-that Mr.. Bowen was rejected merely
because of his opinions on purely Histor-
ical suestion-namely, that of the essential
and emphatic righteousness of the Hunga-
rian struggle for independence of Austria.
That historical question was doubtless in
volved; but the vital, controlling question
lay beneath and behind that The cause
of Hungarian independence, righteous and
holy in ITSELF derived its chief significance
and interest from its intimate connection
with the cause Of European Freedom
Hungarian Nationality, long obscured and
paralyzed by the usurpations, the corrup-
tons and the power of Austrian DespOt-
ism, was reasserted and resumed during
the general prostration and helPlessness of
Absolutism consequent on the great popu-
lar uprising of l648. When the People
were uppermost, not merely at Paris, at
Berlin and Rome, but at Vienna also, the

E GEN. GEORGE McDUFFIE Of S. c.,
is dead, after protracted and painful illness.
He entered Congress in 1921, aud served
fourteen years successfully in the House; ;
was then eight years out Of Congress, until
1643, when he was elected to the Senate,
in which he served nearly or quite six
years, when increasing and painful indrmi-
ties compelled his retirement from public
life.
We believe he was Governor of South
Carolina, during the hiatus between his
withdrawal from Congress as Represen-
tative and his return as Senator. He was
a statesman of decided talent and effective
eloquence.
Mr.. McDuffie came into Congress a
warm advocate of the political doctrines
now denounced as National or Federal
having with Mr.. Calhoun carried South
Carolina in their favor against strong OPP
posing party which was then termed Rad
ical and regarded William H. Crawford of
Georgia as It's leader. Circumstances af-
terward carried Mr.. Calhoun square round
to the doctrines which in his earlier career
he had vehemently and Numerically OPP
posed, and Mr.. McDuffie changed with
him. Mr.. Calhoun opposed Gen. Jackson's
anti-Bank foray; and of course Mr.. Me-
Duffie did likewise; ditto when Mr.. Cal
houn tackled again, and became leader of
the Hard Money host.-In the earlier
portion of his public career, his hostility to
Mr.. Crawford's pretensions brought him
into collision with some of the Georgia
Hotspurs, whereof one consequence was
duel with Col. Cunning of that State,
wherein neither party lost much blood nor
won much glory. A second meeting took
place, but was equally inconclusive. Yet,
if we mistake not Mr.. McDuffie was
winged in another duel, but whether ear
lier or later we cannot now recollect. We
remember well, however, that he once
challenged Gen. Thomas Metcalf cold
Stone-hammer' in consequence Of some
alteration in the House growing out of the
Bargain and Corruption calumny, which
Nc countenanced; but when the Kentuck-
ian named rifles as the weapons and
fifteen PAGES as the distance, the Caro-
linian declined the terms, alleging some
bodily defect or infrnaity.-Mr. McDufiie
was an honorable, high-sOured mau, and
deservedly enjoyed high consideration
through long and arduous public life.

Turning OF The Railroad Depot.

Special Dispatch TO The Tribune
SPRINGFIELD, Monday, March H.
The Passenger Depot building here was
mostly destroyed by fire this Pm. The
fire commenced in the bedroom adjoining
the refreshment room, at the west end, and
the supports of the roof being burnt of, the
whole roof and sides of the building came
down with a tremendous crash. Thirty
men and boys were on the building at the
time and were precipitated among the ruins.
About ten or twelve were taken out in
iured, none, it is believed, fatally, One
had his arm and another his leg broken.
Many were badly bruised; among them
Mr.. Vorrey, Conductor of the New-Haven
Railroad. The building was large, old,
and of wood. So far as its destruction is
concerned, there is no regret felt by the
citizens. REPUBLICAN.
