ously accused Mr. BEEoHER upon oath
adultery with Mrs !T11ox. Now Mr: BoWE,
adds to this charge that of adultery Will
others. What will 1sfr. BEEcuEE do about its
Is it possible that he will attempt again the
fruitless policy Of trying to smother this
charge, as he has others within the pale o1
Plymouth Church, by Friday-night speeches,
church-committeo reports, advisory councils,
and other machinery which the church car
manipulate? The charges Of Mr.. Bowen are
direct and point-blnnlz, although no names
are given, and thev will carry conviction
with them unless they are refuted. It will
not do to rely upon the fact that there is
public prejudice against 1lr. Bowen; nor will
the obvious criticism that Mr. Bowen must
be hypocrite himself to sit under Alr.
BEEcHEE's lninistrations year after year with
such knowledge in his possession at all affect
the terrible indictment. It will retain its
force until it is refutel as concise
~ and directly as it is made.
Mr. BEEcHER is now at bay. The
whole case is opened afresh, and he now
stands before the public with fresh ACCUSE
tions Of adultery made against him. These
accusations are either gross libel, or they
are true. If they tire q libel, then it is Mr.
BEEcHER's duty to bring an action against
Mr. Bowen and corapel him to justify. If he
should not do this, the public will very gon-
orally arrive at the conclusion TINT the accu-
sations are true. More than all else, this let
ter Of Nj. BowEN's shows the absolute and
supreme folly Of ldr. BEEcaEn in supposing
that either he or Plymouth Church eau whis-
tie this SANDER down the wind, and
thus dispose of it. It will not down.
The charges must be met directly before 1e-
gal tribunal, not tefore partisan church-com-
mittees, aud must be settled. If A1r. BEECH
En is guilty, let it ont. If he is innocent, he
is prejudicing his character and his influence
by not Furnishing his traducers. h1r. Bowen
himself is very pertinent on this point when
he says:
Who cones here to quote words Of sauder which
have uttered against the pastor? Who says haro
ever once in any wny except by silence injured him7
Let me ask, has II. ". BEEcHEn any grievances
against met II &C. has he eyar brought them before
this Committee? Others, you know, haye In the
plainest English charge Mr. BEEouER with both
adultery and perjrs. They have challenged an in
restigation in court In council, and hardly whis
per has been heard reply. Whezs was the valiant
Mr.. s. =. WHITE ui1 this time p Where Ia he now?
Dare the gentloman OF any Of sou summon these ac-
cusers into court Of Justice md there demand the

lutely innocent why do you act il you beloved

Court suggested rs fact that it was ques
tionable whether there had ever been al
assessment for taznble purposes in this State
that was made in compliance with law
and hence that it was necessity for TIL
Courts to troat au defects and illegalities Il
assessment as '8 Irregularities" not affecting
the validity of the assessment to the e1ten
Of avoiding the tax.
We NAV therefore assume that ta1 IS no
to bc set aside because OF any defect or in
Justice in the mode Of assessment, or IN the
valuation of property; that when man own
ing 800 Of property finds that property u.s.
scssed at $40, 600, and taxed accordingly, he
must pay the tax for the public good, and
submit to the sacrifice as patriot
We wish to again point the moral OF this
ta1 business. The force Of the inequalities
seems to have been mainly expended on the
personal property in the South Division. Last
April there was IN election for Assessor in
South Chicago, and how many Of these com.
plaining taxpayers took the trouble to vote
at that election? How many Of them even
took interest enough in the matter to know
that there was an election2 Mr. 8I1H Evans
and Mr.. ToM FOLEY, with visions Of $4,000
salary, were fully aware of the election, and,
making combinations with the CLEARYs and
PHnLpsEs, they marshaled several thou
sands OF followers, who not only attended
the polls once, but repeatedly, and voted as
often as the limited time permitted. Not one
Of these now indignant taxpayers went near
the polls; they were all too busy; and IN As
SCISSOR was elected, with the consequences over
which they are now lamenting. They have,
perhaps, the consolation that, bad as things
are, the Assessor might have made them in
fnitely worse; and where they now pay 81
of tax on personal property he might have
made them pay SO, to which they would have
had to submit as patriots and law-abiding
citizens.
Now, within few months there will be
another election for an Assessor. How many
of these people will attend that election, or
take any part in securing the election of an
honest and intelligent officer? How many Of
them will give of their time to the organ,za-
ton of the taxpayers, to the selection of q
competent candidate, and will 60 to the polls
end labor for his election?
The abuses of 1875 will be inevitable SO
long rs the people most interested in the
matter refuse to take any part in the choice
Of officers. These abuses will not only re-
main possible, but probable, SO long IS the
township organization remains in force in
this county and prevents any other system of
assessment OF collection OF taxes. Now, rs
the Taxpayers have no remedy as to past
abuses and injustice, will they take steps to
their prevention in the future? There aro
two things to be done; one is to select
proper candidates for town officers, and go
to the polls and elect them; and the other is
to vote for every measure, preliminary and
final, to abolish township organization viii
the taxpayers do this?

Another straw came to the surface Of the
political current in Minnesota on Friday last.
The Republican side Of tie Legislature, and
the State and Federnl officers, were canvassed
on their Presidential preferences, with the
following result: For BLAINE, 46; VASE
BuRsE, Il, BE1srow, S; MoRToS, 4; GRANT,
&; HATS, 2; and several others one each ;
BLAINE IS, against 81 for all Others. All the
Federal officers seen were for BLAINE, and all
the State officers but three. These political
Etraws count for little as affecting the fnal
result; but, in this case, they show at least
that Nr. BLAINE struck fire in Minnesota
upon the question Of amnestying JEFF DAVIS,
and that the people Of that State are not yet
disposed to let the Confederates come to the
front and order Union soldiers to the rear.

An apt illustration of the structures We
have recently made On the operation and I'D.
t1inist-ation Of the Bankrupt law as it now
stands is to be found in the rolunta7y peti-
ton fled by Grundy County gentleman,
who reports over S15s,ooo Of liabilities, and
whose assets consist Of couple Of suits Of

ply absurd. The idea that any man can con-

a decision is alleged to have been rendered
by the Supreme Court in a contested election
case from Alton, in this State, in which the
Court held that numbered ballot should be
counted instead of an unnumbered ballot
when the two are found together. The
effect of this decision is the practical recog-
uition of the constitutionality Of that part of
the Election law requiring the numbering Of
ballots, and is therefore in direct opposition
to the view taken by Judge ROGERS, Of the
Circuit Court in this city. It is probable
that the decision Of the Circuit Court, if

er times. The Cotswold of to-day has a long
straight body, well rounded ribs, fanking
low down, good full twist, broad, flat back.
full and low in brisket, a neat, stylish head,
broad between the eyes, neatly tapering
mouth, short legs, with head, jaws and legs
covered with wool, and altogether a pretty
and stylish body, covered with long, fine wa
Wy wool, which is glossy and very valuable,
and in great demand. The face in this
breed is sometimes gray, but not generally
so. They are more docile than any other
breed, and take on flesh very kindly, making
good mutton, but are not considered. in this
respect, equal to the Southdowns. Yet all
things considered, the Cotswold IS the best
n most profitable breed for the wool
growers of Kentucky, and we would earn
estly advise them to continue to improve
their hocks until they shall be as near
thoroughbreds as possible. 1t costs as little
to raise and take care of a good animal as an
one, while the thoroughbred will
yield a fleece OF from twelve to twenty
five pounds, worth twice as much perpound
as the fleece of q common sheep, which
would weigh three or four pounds.

The complaint has become general that a
very large proportion of purchases reported
at the annual Shorthorn sales, which have
become SO fashionable during the past few
years, are not genuine. Every breeder is
anxious to keep up these sales and to have
prices sustained, and accordingly they buy
with the understanding that the seller buys
to an equal amount when their sales occur.
In many cases no money passes and no notes
