Church threatens US with another edi-
ton Of the Beecher scandal, with mum.
srous ~annotations, additions, and, for
aught we know, illustrations. Thank
Heaven, the Graphic process has moi
YET been applied to teleRraphy, and We
will be spared the pictures.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Bowen vas one Of the parties to the
tripartite agreement which was en-
tered into some years ago with . view
to save Elizabeth and Henry and pre-.
r the sacred purity Of Plymouth.
For some unexplained reason Bowen
was not called on tho stand during the
famous trial. The world shrewdly sus.
pected that he knew all, il he would
tell, but he discreetly kept silence.
And now, in response to . challenge
from Beecher's congregation, the vet
r u himself, and in no
uncertain tones. In the course OF his
letter-published in full in our ex-
changes, but which the telegraph iend
failed to communicate TO us-he says:
~ fels ut first as / do now, that Mr..
White, the Examining Committee and
Plymouth Church could be better en-
ployed in investigating the direct
charges against their pastor, made in
tho plsinest language-charges nm
bracing the crime Of adultery and per-
jury-rather than be skirmishing about
in 10 fields to see IL . few more per-
sons could not be scared or in some
way drawn or driven into difficulty"
And he concludes with the follow.
ing charges and specifications:
~ have known Bsecher quite init
nlately since his arrival in Brooklyn;
have been acquainted with him social
~ and privately, in church and fam
lily, in business and religious matters;
have heard with profound grief what
was said to me confidentially against
him; have felt my heart stirred to the
very depths for the dear friends
who years before-ths present scandal
wa published sorrowfully begged my
counsel, as they assured me their pas.
tor and mine had crsftily betrayed the
sanctity of their home - the very
charge long after presented 10 me by
Theodore Triton in regard to his own
home. I am now ready to testify to
the essential facts before any proper
tribunal. I have seen him with all
this cloud OF darkness gathering about
him, apparently defying the public
and the advice of his old, lifelong
friends-embracing the sonndest, abb
sst and best clergymen in the country
-and seemingly defying again and
again the very God Of Heaven him.
self to cast him down. Now, being
summoned here to speak, and to speak
the truth, the whole truth. and MOTH
ing but the truth, 1 solemnly give it.
1t il my unwavering opinion, in view
OF all the facts and evidence presented
to me, that Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
without = shadow of . doubt in my
mind, il guilty Of awful adultery, per-
jury and Hypocrisy. This, I say again,
and before tho bar Of this committee,
IL my deliberate opinion, and 1 may be
permitted to afirm that I give it calm
ly, without, malice and with no other
than . sincere desire to do my duty
faithfully to God and man, the church
and the world" Whether Brother
Bowen will be able to make good his
charges ws. know not, neither do we
care; hnt We do hope, in the interest OF
. long suffering press and people, that
this approaching investigation may be
short, and sharp, and decisive.
AND now the cable announces that
the Carlist wal is again over, ended a.
heretofore by the tumultuous flight Of
Don Carlos and . d~isordsriy horde Of
camp-followers over tho French from
tier. And still Carlism, like Banquo's
ghost, will not down. Still the plucky
adventurer, . worthy descendant Of
the old Gothic kings, with his faithful
adhsreuts, confronts armies, defends
and attacks fortified places, lsvies du-
ttss on imports. Poor Spaini d.
vidsd against herself, with an illegiti-
anats king on the throne, tortured
alike by Communists and Papists, with
CUBA drawing her life-blood from her
and Uncle sam concentrating 1t Port
Royal, her future IL far from hopeful.
AN ERRoR.-The report that Math-
sney, Thomssson, and Fuchs the re-
cent Long Island butcher, were all
Americans IL . mistake. Matheney Is
2 French Canadian, Thomasson was
born IN Hamburg, and the murderer of
simmons was-as his name would in
dicaes-not an American but a Ger
man. His parents undoubtedly spoke
no English.
