OUR MUCH MARRIED CONGRESS
MAN.

1t is now alledged by the Washington
Star and other newspapers, that South
Carolina's distinguished representative
in Congress, C. C. Bowen, who is now
under indictment for bigamy at Wash
iugton, was married at Augusta, Geo,
10 1852, to Mrs. Hicks, who claims to
be his wife, Notwithstanding the claims
Of two other women to the same honor,
to whom it is charged he has since been
married. This woman, the Star says,
has fled declaration to the effect that
she married and lived with Bowen till
1858, when be deserted her, and re-
NAMED away until about six weeks ago,
period Of nearly twelve years that
she has been informed and believes that
during that time he has contracted a
second and third marriage with Tabi;ha
Parker, Of Newport, Fla, JAM, 1869,
and Susan Pettiyu King, on the Both
of August, 1870. This declaration is
eigped by "Francis Bowen"

fumors are Of course only rumors, with
no foundation whatever, but others OF
these stories are too true, and too uner.
riugly point to the political perdition
toward which We are drifting, and which
We shall surely reach unless the people,
whom these corrupt men do not 10
reality represent, rouse themselves to
action.
All this is sad enough in itself. 1t is
sad to see men to whom we're committed
the peoples trusts betray those trusts,
making of their own souls moral ruin.
And yet there is something sad even
beyond this. 1t is that many Of these
men claim to be Republicans, aud,
elected to Office by Republicans, are
looked upon in some degree as repre-
seuting Republicauism. The grand,
sacred principles Of our party, are i'm
periled by certain of these officials who
are corrupt. We feel sad enough to see
Democratic officials selling their souls
for gold; but we feel worse when Re-
publicans fall, because Of the principles
they claim to represent. Do these men
ever ask themselves, What ofthe future

Radicals in favcr Of the negro cadet,

stay there had he behaved as the negro

him from the consequences of his bad

the last time, and, no doubt, Congress-
