NEW YORK, May 80.
The custodian of the covenant, entered
into April 2, 1872, by Henry Ware
Beecher, Theodore Tilton and Henry c
Bowen, makes that instrument publ
this morning, and assigns as the reason
therefor, the fact that Bowen has of lat
repeatedly declared that he had neve
disavowed his charges against Beecher
but that he yet insists on their truth
, The disavowal, to which are attached tn
opens thus: We three men, earnestl
desiring to remove all causes OF offence
real or fancied, and to make Christia
reparation for injuries, done or suppose
to have been done, and to efface the di
turbed past, and to provide for concor,
good will and love for the future, do d
= clare and covenant, etc. Henry
Bowen then avows all charges and imp
y tations, as made by him against Beeche
and declares, without reserve, that
j. knows nothing which should preve
D. him from extending to Beecher his mo
l. cordial friendship, confidence and Chri
tian fellowship; regretting sincerely tn
he ever made imputations, charges or i
L uendoes unfavorable to the Christie
character of Beecher, and promisi
III never III future to recur to them by wo
u or deed. Theodore Tilton avows that
will never again repeat by word of mou
-. or otherwise, any of the allegations or
, uendoes contained in his letter to Bowe
in which the latter is cited as the auth
i. of the allegations, etc, against the mo
=, and Christian character of Beech
~ Beeeher on his part puts the past f
. ever out of sight or memory.
