We learn from the writer of the letter which has
brought forth this rather animated episte that it
through a misunderstanding of his language that
Prof Bowen and Prof FELTON, represented as
having mace speeches in the meeting As we are now
informed they made the remarks attributed to them,
not in the meeting but in conversation, not strictly of
private character, Immediately afterward. With
this explaration there TO be serious differ
euce remaining between the statement of Mr.. FELTON,
and that Of which he complains. In answer to HE in-
quiy Why We published statement which We did not
behsve we answer that we print the news OF the day
a. il reaches Us, and cannot withhold fact which Is
credbly reported because it seems TO u to be improb-
able. For instance, when it was reported the other
day thst Prof FELTON, had become a convert to "Spr-
ituaism" We did not believe the statement, but did
not think il our duty to withhold it from our readers.
SO too, TO take an ofnitey giayer case, when some
We ars ago Professor of Harvard College accused
of murder and was arrested, did not believe the
charge to be tue but thought ourselves justified
in publishing it, nevertheless. In fact Professor
Felions principle will not hold. Journalists are bound
to use diligence in acertsning the truth, and to have
GOOD authority for the statements they PUBLISH but
il cannot be required Of them to conceal fact respon.
sibly atested because they think itmprobsble. And
now that we bave noticed PROF ssor Fetons points,
will he kindly inform Us what he means by emitting his
letter A 'TRrBusE' Falsehood ?" Are we to under
stand il as mere retort on his part, because he has
been accused Of saying in public meeting what,
as we are now informed he said pretty publicly after
that etipg Or is drawn from him by anger at the
iosinua'on that be bad unfairly suppressed the name
of Mr. PHILIPPE declaring the result of the election
In the latter case we beg him 10 observe that as we
contradcted the imputa,on, he cannot properly OBJ
iurpste TIE TRIBUSE in reply. Or was this title
the invention of The Boston Courier, journal OF
such i'll ri. estion and shrewish embittered temper,
that It falls into violent black guard expressions without
nov ing it, rs naturally as duck takes to water
Il the phrase be The C0uriers, and not Mr. Fetons,
it is OF DO cot sequence at all.
We are informed that the Rev. VIM. l.. Hsley Of
Washington has been spending a few days with his
friends the Hon. Daniel f. Sckles, and lady, at their
country scat at Bloomingdale
Mr. Thomas McElrath has withdrawn from The
Century newspaper, Of which MIR. James 5. Gibbons,
irs editor, has become the principal if not the sole
proprietor. Mr. Thomss L. McErath succeeds his
fa,her as publisher.
