Growing Desire to Hear from
Bowen.
from the New York SUM-

From the New YORK Ouu.J
We understand that Mr.. Henry =.
Bowen is very anxious to be called to the
witness.stand, and does not care whether
he be witness for the plaintiff or de-
Tense. He says that he has nothing but
the truth to tell, and that he Will give
that, whichever side it hurts or benefits.
This is Just the sort of witness an inno-
cent man desires to have on his behalf.
Such man has nothing to conceal, and
in order to make bis vlndlcation
against an atrocious charge thorough and
convincing, he will exhort everybody who
knows anything about the affair in dis
pute to tell all he knows, even if it is not
IN his favor, so that he can have the
whole case against him opened up to the
light, and thus be able to proceed to make
his exculpation complete. Why, there
fore, does not the defendant call Bowen !?
He is ready to testify, even anxious to do
so. Whatever may be said against him,
he has kept the famous tripartite agree.
ment as Tilton did not, and he says that
now his mouth is closed by that solemn
covenant, unless he be called to the Wit
ness stand. Let Mr.. Beecher unseal
Bowcn's lips, and then, when Bowen and
the Plymouth pastor have testified, we
shall have the story of all the parties to
that extraordinary document. The de-
PENDANT should not leave Bowen to be
called by the plaintiff. He is a member
Of Plymouth church, and Beecher COW
enanted to speak well of him, to trust and
to love him. In what better way can he
carry out the covenant and ct the same
time exhibit his determination to bring
out all the facts of the case than by
calling Henry G. Bowen to the wit.
ness stand to testify to the truth, which
way soever it may hit! His story, If
told for the plaintiff, will certainly be
more damaging to Beccher than if the de-
PENDANT boldly demanded it, for it will be
said that the latter dare not call him
himself Perhaps, too, Bowen would tes-
tify in Beecher's favor. There is no as
surance that his facts will help Tilton.
If he proposes to tell the truth only.
surely he ought to be the witness of Mr..
Beecher, who is his pastor, and who Gov
enanted to take him back to his love and
confidence.
(From tue New York Nation.)
The odd contrasts of chromo-ciyillzed
life have been brought out very strikingly
in Bowen position. He has evi
IDENTIFY been mixed up in the scandal fol-
years, and it would appear by the
tripartite agreement, did circulate dirty
stories about Mr.. Beecher, and he ha:

Beecher's counsel, as party to most
horrible conspiracy against his own pastor
Nevertheless, pendente lite, he still retains

days, with upturned, docile countenance

How to Smell.

1t is an ingenious madness on the part
Of many pleasant people to come forward
and show that they do not know how to
spell. Yet Spelling Bees have become
national institutions, and, as our despatch
es show, even Washington city has been
invaded. Fortunately, no one knows how
to spell, and the people who blunder have
the consciousness of knowing that the
public is with them. Indeed, if ortho-
graphy were decided by the majority-as
things of greater consequence are-there
is not a word in the dictionary but would
shrivel away to such a shape that the
oldest schoolmaster in the community
would refuse to acknowledge it, while Of
every word in the five syllables it would
be written as it is Of the innocents chron-
icled in the Philadelphia Ledger: gone to
join his grandmother. Perhaps the
worst spoilers in the world are tie people
who make the dictionaries. There was

Give Every Man His Due.
From the City weekly, Sycamore, III.


We have paid but little or no attention
by the Republican press to the Independ-
ent members of the general assembly of
this state. They have been riuiculed
without stint and without mercy. No &C.
casion afording the least possible oppor-
tunity to abuse and malign them has been
allowed to pass without being fully i'm
proved, and were we permitted to believe
the half OF what has been urged against
them, we should stigmatize them as the
veriost set of knaves who ever secured a
legislative position. Especially has it
been said OF E. NJ. Haines, the speaker
that he has so completely disgraeed his
position as to have forfeited not only the
respect and confidence of members of the
legislature, but of the people who elected
him to Office.
The Chicago Tribune, paper from
which we should have expected better
things, has conceived such AL antipathy
of Haines as to be incapable of abiding to
him in terms other than of ridicule and
contempt In its treatment of the speaker
it has apparently lost sight of all consider
atoms of decency and fair play, and to
have allowed feeling of petty spite to
control it. Obscure Republican sheets
can afford to be stupid and shallow
Drained in their attacks upon the Ind, =
pendents, but when a newspaper of the
standing and influence of the Tribune
stoops to low filings and the most evident
misrepresentation Of their acts, we feel
like utturing protest.
Not long since the Tribune published a
scathing editorial directed against MIR
Haines. 1t was so outrageously unjust,
because false, that upon coming to the
notice of the speaker that gentleman has
tened to inform the editor of the false
charges contained in the article, hoping
that paper would publish the correction
and set the matter right. His letter
however, was never published in the ITi
June, and probably never will be; but il
has, at last, been published in other pa
pers 1t is complete refutation OF the
dastardly charges made by the Tribune
and shows how utterly mean and con
temptible even that professedly heightened
paper can be. The Tribune charged
Haines, among other things. with having
used his power and place to increase tn,
clerical force Of both branches of the legis
lature, for mere party purposes. In reply

the speaker and to defame Republican
members. To this Mr.. Haines gives the
lie, fatty also to the charge that he had
subsidized the country press for denuneia-
ton of the present governor and for the
Republican members, and with paying the
expense out of the state treasury. On the
subject of "unparliamentary conduct and
wrongful rulings to which the Tribune
refers, the speaker says that no single in
stance of specification under this charge
has been preferred, and" continues Dir.
H., 1T is fact worthy of note, and of the
utmost Importance in connection with this
subject, operating as full vindication OF
the speaker, that. during the whole OF the
present session there has been but one ap-
peal taken from the rulings Of the speaker,
and in that case the speaker was sustained
by the house"
