We are not entirely a ''happy people"
How can we be, willie there are some
who persist III keeping liquor privately,
in spite of all earnest admonitions that
the use of strong drink is morally and
physically debasing and disgraceful to
themselves and the village.-J0urnal.
Outrageous reflection upon our peo-
pie! Can it be that ''those'' words are
uttered by a newspaper published in
our midst! A town where there isn't a
living rowdy, as the Journal itself de-
clares; a town where there isn't any
rowdyism, as that sheet can show; a
town of ''saints," and where every pol
itician is rs pure as an unborn babe, to
be thus misrepresented by newspaper!
This is all spite work. This is wholly
\ ''personal'' matter. The Journal has
had a ''personal'' difficulty with some
liquor barrel and is carrying it's "per-
sonal matters" into the newspaper.
Will a free people submit to this? New
er, never. Call the ''friends'' of the
Journal together and pass some resolu-
tions condemning it, Start another
paper to run it out.'' This talk is in
juring ''immigration.'' This is misrep-
resenting the place. Can't the rowdy
and liquor element get together and do
something to stop this? Can't they ap-
ply to the Journal the same remedies
they have tried on the ADVANCE, ap-
plications Of skunks, dead dogs and
rotten eggs to the Journal doors. Can
a free and untrammeled rowdy and liq.
uor element submit to this any longeri
Aren't they FLASHED into a white heat
by this ''intoler;eble bigotry,'' this

PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
B0wen's Trial..

NEW YORK, March 15.-The special commit.
tee of five appointed by Plymouth church to
try Henry G. Bowen on five special charges,
held a meeting last evening at the house of 81.
y. Pratt. In addition to the special committee,
members of the church examining committee
were present. Mr.. Bowen appeared, accompa-
MED by DR.. Ward and three of his sons. He
was allowed after some discussion to have a
stenographer for his own purposes.
DIR. Ward called Mr.. Bowers two eldest sons
as witnesses. and they were cross-examined by
Mr. Tilney, clerk of the church and counsel for
the committee. Some of the evidence con
frmed the statement about Bowen's searching
for evidence in South Brooklyn, and the fact
that he found nothing of importance.
A large part OF the evening was consumed in
asking pertinent questions to which satsfac.
tory answers were denied. The main drift of
the inquiry was to learn whether Bowen in his
statement to the examining committee had
brought forward all the proof of importance
whloh he possessed, and il was concluded that
he had done SO. The committee will continue
the case next Tuesday night and afterward, un-
til Mr.. Bowen's case is disposed of.
Ex-President Woolsey's Views.
Ex-Presdent Woolsey of Yale has written
the following letter for publication
"My attention has been called to recent ar.
ticle in Brooklyn paper which imputes to m {
the words, that 'Beecher ought to be blown out
of Brooklyn pulpit L have no recollection OF
using the words, but if 1 used them or any
Others of the same import, [ could not have
used them as meaning that believed him gull.
ty of the charges on which he was tried. On
the contrary, since the trial of 1875, if not be.
fore, l have upon the whole believed him to be
innocent, but will not deny that may have
felt strongly his want of wisdom in the whole
affair, and may have expressed myself accord
ingly."

patch says the Committee on Foreign Relations

Frelinghuysep, Conkling, McCreery, Bogy and
Eaton, have instructed their chairman to report
against the confirmation of Richard 81. Dana
|, to be Minister to Great Britain, and to ask the
President to withdraw the nomination. This
action is brought about by the opposition of ex.
Governor VIM. Beach Lawrence, and is the
result of an old copyright quarrel between him
and Dana.
Gov. Lawrence has appeared in person and
through others, opposing Mr.. Danais confirma-
ton, and two or three days ago Gen. Butler
appeared on the scene and has been working
diligently to pledge against Mr.. Dana suffi-
Gent number of Republican Senators to defeat
his confirmation.

Dana, jr, to be Minister to England, the

CLYMER'S COMMITTEE.
Testimony of Gen. BOynt0n's In
fOrmant.
More About the Kentucky Central
Claim.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Col. Grafton was
examined today before the committee on ex-
penditures in the war department.. The chair
man said to him that telegram appeared in
the New York Herald of the 9Th inst, contain
ing certain information concerning the commit
tee and himself, and that Nordhoff, the author
of the telegram, said he obtained the informa-
ton from General Boynton. Further, that
General Boynton yesterday telegraphed that he
obtained his first information from Mr.. Will
SOD, then from Shellabarger, and next from
CELEBRATION.
Witness in reply said the conversation he
had with Gen. Boynton was a week ago last
Saturday. He thought he did not tell Gen.
Boynton in conversation that Mrs. Bowers, Mr..
and Mrs. Marsh, Mr. Pendleton and Mr.. Clym-
er travelled together in Europe, and that some
of the parties became acquainted with the main
facts alluded to in the telegram affecting PEN
dleton. The witness related the conversation
he had with Boynton which the latter repeated
yesterday. He did not think be stated to Boyn.
ton that Kiddoo told him that Clymer refused
to investigate the Pendleton matter, but that
he said he had not sufficient data The wit
ness did not tell Boynton anything that reflect
ed on tho committee. He derived from Kiddoo
the impression that there was indisposition on
the part of the committee to examine into the
facts. Gen. Kiddoo never said that Clymer
travelled in Europe with the parties above
mentioned Klddoo said that he met Clymer
in Europe, but he never met him with those
attended a meeting at the Arlington Hotel with
Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Belknap, nor did the wit
ness say SO to Gen. Boynton.
Mr. Blackburn offered a resolution that
everything done as agreed to by this committee
shall be accepted as the action Of each member
present at the meeting in which such action is
had unless dissent therefrom shall be entered
upon the records by the disaereeing member or
members. Yeas. Clymer, Blackburn and Rob-
bins. Nays, Bass and Danford. Mr.. Bass en-
tered his protest against the resolution as being
unnecessary and unheard of.
Mr.: Ernest, treasurer of the Kentucky Cen
trail Railroad was examined and testified that
all the parties in the interest of the Kentucky
Central railroad assented to the arrangement
with Mr. Pendeton for collecting the claim of
that company and So far as be knew. no one
dissented from the terms of the settle ne mt.
He did not know of any portion of the moaey
being used Improperly by Mr.. Pendleton or
anybody else to influence the payment of the
claim. They regarded the claim as emnently
just and proper. There was nothing doubtful
in it, but it was difficult of settlement.
