ME-, BOWEN'B POSITION,

The communication of tho younger Dr..
Bacon to the New York tribune, which we
published recently, prosanta very forcibly the
awkward position in which HENRY @. BowEs
stands with reference to tho DEEouRa case.
BE acemB to be the least acceptable person
connected with the scandal, and reminds one
of tho remark with which W1111Ax LLOYD
GAna1soN began speech, in tho days whom ha
WAS peculiarly odious to tho mass OF tho peo-
pie: II may safely affirm that am more
notorious than popular" The fact is, the
public is tired Of hearing about br. BowzN,
rs the one Intelligent man on the matter Of
Mr. DExouxRa guilt, and yet hearing nothing
from him. As the Witnesses In the trial, On
both aides, have talked Bowen from tho be-
ginning, alternating his name with that
Of nErcuxn, It waa supposed that
his adyent on The stand would throw
flood Of Light upon tho dark places.
Bat he WIS questioned slightly, testified to
ouly few points OF incidental value, and
left tho character OF M1. DERoukn In a. much
doubt O. ever. Both sides plain1y dialike
and diatrust him, while tho disappointed
public Wow him with anything but COM
placenoy. T111oN alleges that, in past yoara,
A1r. Bowen privately made the most griovous
oharges against 1Ir. BzEoukn to himaeH and
OLIVER JOHNSON. hr. JOHNSON, 80 for as va
orc aware, haa not denied this fact, Tho
tripartite agreement implies the Same thing,
while seoming to rotract tho accusation. We
only aay seoming to retsaot, because Mr..
Dowzn alleges that hs never has actually TO-
tracted anything, because tho language Of tho
document contains significant "perhaps
| in Mr.. BowTsa statement, and because
tbs expression In 1t OF confidence in Mr..
DExougR's Christian character might haye
! meant not that hs was innocent Of the things
which had bson alleged, but TINT being gull
| ty he had privately manifested such penl-
tsnce Il to roinssAte himself in tho good opin-
ion Of Mr. Bowen. It may b that subse-
quenuy Mr.. Dow1s oamo TO doubt tho reality
| Of tho ponitonoe, rs he has said that he re-
gretted the having signed tAa tripartits agreo-
1nant,
Dut, urges tho younger DR.. BAoox, why
does not Mr.. BOWEN, who claims that hs
"knows all about IT," speak outr Il h
knows TINT Mr. DE10uE1 Is purs and up
right man, Lot him aay 80, and defend Al In
noceut man, who Is lis own pastor. II hs
| knows that Mr. DExoum is an impure and
| hypocritIoal man, why does he not affirm
| that, and drive him from the pulpit which
ho deseoratos This is very general
feeling, and 1t provokes many to an angry
aenunciation Of the silent witnesq.
We have ourselves spokan plainly in reprobs-
ton Of Mr. Bowza's equivooal position. But
lot III not ba too harsh, aud even unjust,

A now work has recently boen published
entitled "Mnn and Beast, " in which tho au-
thor, tho Ilov. J. g. Woon, soeks to show
TINT the lower animals possess thoss mental
and moral characteristics which In human
beingB are supposed 10 pe,ts II to Tho soul.
In support of hia theory, be narates many
stories, among them ono concerning duck
whose mnto was stolen. The morning after
the loss tho duck commenced mourning for
her drake, and refused to bo comforted, but
nurBod ho< sorrow In silence and far away
from the other lrcka and Grakes. Some time
elapsed, but 1t did not mitigate her grief.
One day, very gay young drake, whose
duck had been killed, waddled up 10 tho sup
posed widow md sought to console her, but
she refused his oonso1at;ons He then sought
to force them upon her, whereupon she mnds
1t so hot for him ho Rlunk away. A few days
nftor this, tho long-lost dzuke VIM discovered
and brought back, wharoupou his duck was
SO overcome with joy TINT she did nothing
but quack for half 4 day. Afsor this por-
formancc, aho and tho drake retired to a Sc
c1uded spot vhe1a sha informed him Of the
proposals which had been rado to her BY the
other drake. Tie result WOE, tint they
hunted him up and gavo him the Bsverest
kind Of chastisemcnt for his conduct All
this goes to show that those ducks and brakes
havo nors sense than oharaotarizos the ducks
and brakes In Brooklyn.

sHERMAN's TERMS OF PEACE.
We have already referred to tho gTont
hlundor of St1EnMAN'a life,-his attempt to
negotiate terms OF peace with the broken and
crushed Rebels which would preserve alayery
aud the Rebel stata Governments, and 10y
foundation for indemnidcation for all their
losses at tho cost Of the nation. In his
memoirs, Gen. SHERMAN, after hayinghad ton
years. time to witness tho troubles Of recon-
structiou, and to road in tham the horrible
consequences which would hare followed the
adoption Of his terms Of peace, has nevar
word of regret that he Ind proposed them,
nor word Of rejoicing that they lad been
rejected.
We now publish another chapter in tho
history of TINT transaction. It must DO re-
1ncmbored that at that tirno LEE had sur
rendered, aud the only Rebel army in the
Aeld vas the pititul one in North Carolina
commanded by Gen. JOHNSTON. JEFF DAVIS
and his Cabinet were fugitives, and wore with
Jonxs7os's army. JOHNSTON aaked confeE-
once, Which SHERMAN granted. On the way
to that conference SHERMAN heard of LIN
coIs's assassination. Tho 11'st day's confer
euce resulted in nothing. No terms were
proposed in writing. On the next day the
conference WAS removed. The chapter We
now publish shows that after the first day
there was consultation among tho Rebels
o. to what thoy could do. BnkoKNa1DaE and
Postmaster General REAGAN attended the
meeting Of tho Generals nc1t day. At
that meeting, SHERMAN wrote out his OK
1f x,hfnh ha
md 5onNs7oN signed, subject 70 the
approval Of their respective Governments.
While tile terms were on their way to Waah-
ipgton, they were also submitted to JErY
DAVIS, who asked the opinion Of bis " Cabi-
net" as to their acceptance. Tho letters Of
tho Cabinet, DEN1As1H, BREoKNn1paz,
DAVIS, REAGAN, and MA1IonY, aro worry inter-
esting reading. They all egEee that the Con-
fsderacy waa exploded and ended They had
money. Tho scattered forces were rapidly
dissolving by desertion. Thoy ali conceded
that it was practically hopeless to prolong
the contest. This was their condition ut tue
tmo Of this conference. SuEnMAN's terms,
they argued, restored all the 6tntos to the
Union exactly as they were before the War,
The Rebel troops we're TO take their
arms and artillery homo with them and
deposit them In their Stnte Capitals. The
Rebel stato Governments were all recognized
as the Governments Of the States. Property
Of all kinds, including slaves, was to cou-

ANXIOUS FOR A CONTROVERSY,

ANXIOUS FOR CONTROVERSY.
Wo print this morning communication
from gentleman who Ia evidently anxious
for n controversy with TuE TRIBUNE on the
Catholic question. Though his communica-
ton In entitled "Tho School Question In
Politics." be hns, as matter Of fact, very
little TO say on this, md indeed scarcely
touches the subjcct Mt ALL In this respect ho
simply eyinces m anxiety that tho general
question shall bo agitated, for, In the first
place, there was little in tho article he refers
to which required . reply from him, aud, In
the second place, he has failed to seizo upon
any salient points on which there might DO q
difference Of opinion between Tn TRIBUNE
and Tho Anti-Schoo1 Catholics.
Relative to tho GgouAN bill, passed by tho
late Legislature in Ohio, aud providing equa1
privileges for ali religious scots in public re-
foEmatory, penal, and eloemosynary instit,1-
ions, there is no question aa to it's Intrinsic
propriety and justice. TIE TRIBUNE has
never reflected on the character Of this law;
on the contrary, It has approved its purpose,
and believes that such Inv ahou1d be adopt
cd in all States where bigotod officials ex-
