4 CASE OF LIBEL.


NEW York, Nov. 2t.---Thc trial of
Dennis Barnes, proprietor otthe Brook
lyn Daily! Argus, on an Indictment for
siandering Henry G.. Bowen in tho
publication OF an Particle rejecting ON
the character OF his deceased wife, com
u,onccd this morning in Kings County
Court Sessions. District Attorney Wins
low recited the law of libel and related
tt:e circumstances OF tho case. The
article complained Of was letter from
Il correspondent in Chicago, in which
WAS related ~ conversation which the
writer had with the Rev. DIR. Patton
as to the, death-bcd scene of Mrs. Henry
Committed adultery with Rev. H., w.
Beecher, asking him to leave plymouth
Church. This WAS also to have been
the cause, it was stated, OF his leaving
the editorials chair at tho office OF the
independent, of which Bowen was
proprietor. II. g. Bowen was exa ined,
and denied that his wife, on her death
bed, had made any such confession.
She was not able to articulate, having
paralysis OF the tongue. ---- 'S''
The case was submitted to the jury
without argument on either side. The
Judge charged that proofo malice was
necessary to convict, and the jury after.
Il brief consultation brought in a verdict
OF acquitaI. The jurors mt the same
time handed II written statement to the
court, to the effect that while defendant
was legally exempt from conviction,
yet they believed the printed matter in
relating to deceased, Mrs. Bowen, was
atrOcious and cruel.

Patton VS.. Swing in the Presbyte-
Tian Synod Of Northern Illinois.

In the Presbyterian Synod of Nor
thern Illinois yesterday, the 22d, DR..
Charles Elliott was appointed assistant
counsel Cor Swing, with DR.. Frame. He
was opposed to the verdict Of the Presby
terry. The reading of the records Of
the trial was then taken up. During
the afternoon DR.. Patton submitted his
argument. He stated as his reasons for
bringing the case before the synod that
the presbytery had been guilty Of five
things, namely: Of hurrying to de-
cision of prejudice, irregularities. mis-
take and injustice. His speech lasted
till the hour of adjournment, and in
the evening session he added an cxhor-
tation to the members of the synod,
adjuring them to remember what was
involved in their decision and to act
worthy of the trust reposed in them.
Mr.. Frames reply to the argument
of Patton was short and weak speech,
in which he merely directed the atten-
ton of the synod to thcrecord ofprocecd-
ings which had been read in their hear
ing. DR.. Elliot followed in long and
rambling speech. He treated the sub
jcct in rather facetious way, and his
remarks caused considerable laughter at
times. lie produced extracts from
Swing sermons to show his Swings
belief.
At the conclusion of DR.. Elliot's ar
gument it was decided to allow the men,
bers three minutes to express an opin-
ion. Only one gentleman availed him
self of this opportunity, Mr.. Patterson,
who spoke in an excited way Of the
trouble this case was producing in the
church. He was interrupted, and the
synod abruptly adjourned.

Fire at Esdaile, VISA -Four Year
Old Child Burned 10 Death.
fred Wing Argus, Oct. 22.1

...tAsSA w Us 49, 3 e~'9 WV ~
About five O'Clock last Friday morn
ing FIRE broke out in Hegna & Paulson's
dry goods and grocery store at Esdaile.
The alarm was promptly given, and the
inhabitants at once collected about the
building, which, however, was soon en-
velcped in flames. Mr.. Hegna entered
the building for the purpose of saving
his books, but was unable to do so
the fire had such Roadway. He had
hardly reached the open air before
an explosion occurred in the store
which is supposed to have beer occas-
Toned by part Of a key Of gunpowder.
If Mr.. H. had remained ar instant
longer in the burning building he would
not now be alive. t4
The second story of the building was
occupied by Mr.. Patch, the late pro-
prietor Of the store beneath, as resi-
dence. He was away from home but
his wife and family were in the build
ing. When they were awakened they
rushed to the back stairs
but these being on fire Frank
broke out one of :he from; windows,
dropped to the ground, ran AZ ound the
house, opened the lower door, Ind sue
ceeded in rescuing all but one little
girl, his daughter, named Belle Patch,
four years old. Every effort was made
to save her, but without success,
and she persisted in the flames.
Not dollars worth of property was
saved from the store, and Henga &
Paulson lost about five thousand dol
lars. Mr.. Patch lost two thousand
dollars, which. however, is partly COW
cred by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but is supposed to have been set by an
incendiary.

To the Editor Of the Anti Monopolist:
DEAR SIR: There is quite war going
on between the people and political
rings. The people blame the rings for
all this corruption and stealing. They
say they are being robbed of their last
dollar.
Now, the truth is, the rings are not
to blame so much as the people them
selves. They wiA stick to party, right
or wrong; and keep up this everlasting
growl about stealing, robbing and cor
ruption. Now, brother Changers, be
honest, be just and fear not; throw
party to the dogs; and at the election
this fall vote for honest men who will
neither buy votes nor to sell them. I
mean men that will not buy votes
to get into Office and sell their constitu.
ents, and feather their own nests after
they get in.
When we see a man trying to buy Of
flee We can put him down as a dishon-
est man. Probably there may be one
man in thousand who tries to buy of
fee for the honor Of the Office, but that
kind of men are never found in rings.
There is no one that buys a horse or
a COW or anything else. but thinks he
knows he is going to get his money back
from his purchase; and wien man
buys himself into Office he is doing it
for the purpose Of making money.
So long as we support these rings so
long must we expect to be robbed by
them. five want Reform and honesty
let US begin at home The old adage is,
charity should begin at home; why not
Reform!
We must begin reforming at home,by
doing away with this party business,
right or wrong; and vote for honest
men, men Of the people. not men Of par
ties or rings. Yours,
W. p. MOGLG.

SPEAKING OUT In MEETING.

You, Republicans. who think the Re-
publican party is not necessarily Pro.
tective Tariff party, read the following
extract from speech made by Gen.
Albright in Harrisburg. Pa, the other
day:
THE TARIFF.
We must see to it at the same time that
the policy OF protection is adhered to, be-
cause with proper protection we can make
the whole world Iay tribute to US. The God
OF nations has made us rich in the resources
that make up the wealth OF nations. Phila-
delphia will become the great manufacturing
city of the world. Whatever our difficult
ties may be at this time you can look for no
help IRON the Democratic party; that party
will give you no tariff, no protection to home
manufactures and home industry The
Democratic party has always been In favor
IT free trade, and with the exception of the
Democratic members from Pennsylvania. |
know of no Democrat in Congress who Is a
protectionist, while the great body of the
Republicans are decided tariff men. The
manufacturers, and mechanics and work.
ingmen OF Pennsylvania have nothing to
hope for in the shape of better times ii the
Democracy get into power. (Cheers.l
with proper protection We, penn
sylvania, } can make the whole world
pay tribute to us"
That is very pretty for Pennsylvania,
but unfortunately ''the whole
world means only the rest of the
United States Of America, including
Minnesota. The American tariff leyies
tribute only on Americans;-and chiefly
on the agri:ulturists.
There you have the issue presented !:
If the Republicans continue in power
we will continue to- pay tribute to
Pennsylvania. If they do not we will
not. Choose We.

date for the Housed, speak at our new
Town Hall last Monday evening. Mr..
Brown said it was his first effort at
public speaking; the people who heard
him think it would not take great deal
Of practice for him to compete with the
best Of the public speakers. He illus.
trated the excellence Of his memory, by
stating the promises made and broken
by the so-called Republican party for
the last two years; showing that if he
has been laboring hard at his calling,
he has at the same time kept himself
we'll posted. He was free uently ap.
plauded, and at the conclusion of his
speech there were three cheers and a
tiger given, that will make some of our
little postmasters sick after the Sd OF
November.
Mr.. browns remarks refreshed
the memories of the people to such an
extent that some one or two took the
stand to show what was accomplished
when his opponent. j. V. Daniels, was
a member of the Legislature. | think
that was. about the time the Insane
Asylum came so near being located at
Rochester; l think tho people have not
quite forgotten that it was claimed at
the time, that our Honorable R eprescn-
tative Daniels, concluded it would be
better to let St. Peter take the asylum,
and he would take his chances of being
Governor the next fail. St. Peter got
the asylum, but Daniels slipped up on
the rest of the arrangement. In fact.
in looking it over, we could rot find
where Olmsted county, despite all the
ability of her delegation, ever got any
thing. Truly yours. S. G. c.
