SECRETARY BELkNAP yesterday approved
the location Of the bridge across the Missis-
slppi river ut La Crosse, Wisconsin, selected
by the Government engineers. This ap-
proval settles a question which has been the
subject of considerable local controversy In
the State and entered more or less into the
political discussions Of the last campaign.
Representative Rusk, from the La Crosse dis
trict who has been In Washington for several
days, Is entitled to the credit Of having care
fully argued the case in all Its bearings and
to the gratitude Of his constituents for the
success which has attended his efforts In
their behalf. The Secretary held that, while
he had no authority to designate a particular
location, no had the right to dlsapprove Of
selections that might be made by interested
railroad companies.

The following was among the As
sociated Press dispatches last week
It is said Henry Ward Bcechel
has been SO much annoyed by sharl
criticisms in some Of the daily journ
ais on the action of Theodore Tiltor
as a witness to the famous .retractior
OF Bowen's charges, that he has re
solved to come to Tiiton's defense
After consulting With several friends,
he prepared a statement exonerating
Tilton from al blame in the connec
tion with which his name was asso.
ciated.
Mr.. Beecher wrote a statement
this A. NJ. which refers to Tilton's ac.
tion as that of a friend who desired
to re.unite Bowen and Beecner.-
Mr.. Clafin was, it is said, instru.
mental in bringing about the retrac.
tion which bears the signatures of
Beecher, Bowen ana Tilton. The
retractlon, it is said, was drawn up
by Samuel Wilkinson, business part
ner Of Mr.. Beecher, and after it was
signed, the document was handed to
Claflin for safe keeping. Wilkinson,
however, had made copy and gave
it to the press last week.
New YoRk, June 2.-The follow
ing card was published to day:
To tho Ed,tor Of the Broohlyn EagA:-
DEAR SIR:-I have maintained ST.
lence respecting the slanders which
have for sometime past followed me.
l should not speak of it now, but for
the sake of relieving another OF un-
just imputation. The document
which was recently published, bear.
ing my name with others, was pub.
lished without consultation with us,
aud without any authorization from
us. If that document should lead
the public to regard Mr.. Tilton as
the author Of the calumnies to which
it alludes, it would do him great in
justice. l am unwilling that he should
even seem to be responsible for the
injurious statements whose force was
derived wholly from others.
HENRY WARD BEEcuER.
Mr.. Beccher's denial of the charg.
es preferred against him is not so dl
rect as to satisfy the demands of the
people, but it will so far towards
checking the further publication O
those charges. For the good of al
implicated, tor the good Of christiani
ty, and for the good Of the age il
which we live, It is to be hoped tha1
Mr.. Beecher will be able to prove
false every charge that has come W
against him.

DrAsoLI cAL.-On las: Sunday morning
week, Coleman Hicks, colorcd, sent one OF
his children to spring tor water, and IN
short time the child returned and reported
the spring damned up, and floating on top
piece of cloth tied up, containing something
inside. Fursher investigation proved the con-
te nts to be arsenic, and beside,as the bottom
of the spring was found small bottle with
more OF the same deadly poison. Tracks
were foaud near the, spot and we're traced to
the cabin of one Geo. Gallman. also colored.
Il was further elected that Gallman had
threatened to do Hicks and his family harm
without putting his hands ION tLem, and fur
ther, another colorcd man states that he was
in the drug store when the poison was bought
and saw the wife Of Gallman get it. The
would be poisoners have both been arrested
and lodged in Jail to await trial, and it is to
be hoped, conviction. No punishment is too
severe for these f1eads. Had the poison not
been discovered in time, it is supposed that
large number Of colored people would have
been victims, as the spring is on public
road and near by where they were then hold
ing camp meeting. The locality where this
piece Of diaboliSm YVES done, is in the fork OF
Saluda and Bush Rivers, on the Johnstone

only about one dozen double board and shin

was not so surprising, because it is under
