HI. q. Bowen Speaks ut Last.


New: York, Feb. 4.-To.night Henry
y. Bowen presented letter to the exam.
lining committee of Plymouth church, in
answer to the grievances CT Mr.. S. V.
White, amember of said committee. He
commenced by saying the church once
unanimously acquitted him of slandering
the pastor. At that time he was charged
with talking too much; now. the
charge is he is talking too little. His 81.
lence was based upon the tripartite
agreement to bury the past and keep 81.
lent in the future. He relates the sub.
stance of the interviews with Mr.. White
and says:
| felt at first as I do now, that Mr..
White, the examining committee and
Plymouth church could be better employ.
ed in investigating the direct charges
against their pastor, made in the plainest
language--charges embracing the crimes
of adultery and perjury and hypocrany,
rather than in skirmishing about in new
fields TO see if few more persons could
not be scared or in some way drawn or
driven into difficulty.
In more than twenty-five years con.
nection with Plymouth church, have
heard many sad story from many sad
heart, some for loss of property, some for
loss of their dearest earthly friends, and
some for loss of character, greater loss
than all. May God forgive me if l have
ever done wrong in listening to one single
case thus represented; but Tor thus
doing, and that only, assert have been
unceremonlously summoned to appear
before the committee, and here and now
most solemnly declare that there is no
other basis for Mr.. Whites grievances
against me. Whether he will have other
grievances after hearing me at this time
remains to be seen. But let me now ask
few questions. Who comes here to
quote words of SANDER which I ever
uttered against the pastor! Who SAYS
ever once in any way, except by silence,
injured him? Let me ask has H. w.
Beeeher any grievances against me! If
so. has he ever brought them before this
committee
Others, as you know, have, in the
pia,nest English charged Mr.. Bcecher
with both adultery and perjury. They
nave challenged an investigation in court
OF IN council, and hardly a whisper has
been heard in reply. Where was the VAL
liant Mr.. S. A. White all this time
Where is he now! Dare the gentleman,
or any OF you, summon these accusers in
to court Of justice, and there demand
the evidence on which these charges of
adultery and purjury against Mr.. Beecher
are made! Ifhe is absolutely innocent,
why do you not act as if you believed it,
and thus put IN end to the horrible scam
dal! 1fhe is a pure man, here is the
straight road out of all difficulty. You
have unfortunately, in my opinion.
chosen q different course. Mr.. White
says there is one too many in Plymouth
church, at one end or the other. He does
not state that 1T one end of the church
stands man openly charged with adul-
terry, perjury and hypocrisy, and 1T the
other end man charged with the mere
grievance of silence.

men protesting patriotism and hon
esty support him for the Presidency.
They point to him as great reform
or, and cite his var record against

Joined an outraged people and assist
ed in crushing his old pal. The old
thief was permitted to escape, and
the sheriff letting him slip from out
of the meshes of custody was not
removed by Gov. Tilden. The Dem
ocrats allude to Tilden's association
with the war upon the canal ring OF
the empire State, but they claim too
much for their chieftain, for the fact
is potent to those informed on the
subject, that Gov. Dix and the Re-
publican Legislature had committee
appointed to examine into alleged
frauds of the canal ring, which COM
mittee ferretted out the frauds and
secured the evidence and arranged
the cases, leaving to Tilden nothing
to do but let the trial 60 on. And
even in this he has been derelict, only
trying one of the three VIGOROUSLY
corrupt ringsters, and at a cost OF
nearly $4,000, securing $4,000
