convicted, wilful falsifer. But this
position he already occupies, aud it
will not hurt him bit.
Now a word entirely personal. Buzz
fuz refers to a personal encounter
with us five years ago. when in a
drunken frenzy he came out from be-
hind the court house and attempted
to assassinate us by firing at our
back before we were aware of his
presence. lie paid the penalty of his
cowardly assault by receiving ball
in his arm. He has not since cared
to repeat the adventure, and is as
10th to do so as he always was to face
an enemy in the field. When he
played soldier for a few months he
was never known to get within smell
of gunpowder if there was possible
chance to avoid it. He says we
"came here fugitive but few
years ago." Now Buzfuz knew he
was lying when he wrote this. He
knows we were born in this county,
and have lived here all our life with
the exception of few years spent in
Ohio; he knew this, but was willing
to state deliberate lie for the sake of
creating that impression abroad.
But what else can be expected of a
man who has engaged in the lottery
business with the deliberate purpose
OF swindling the community who
has all his life been a dead-beat and
hummer.
We are aware that the community
are averse to newspaper qualrels.
We have done all that could be ex-
pected of us to avoid it. We have
borne it in silence, as the readers of
the INDEPENDENT w" So,
the lowest abuse and BIZ. ee'--c..ucc.-. I'm
from Buzfuz for months and months.
Emboldened by our silence he hest
tates at no assertion however false !;
no epithet however vulgar, in his
abuse of us. We have only to say
that we do not in future propose
either to submit in silence or throw
tufts of grass. We have his record
from his youth up. If he wants it
ventilated we shall accommodate
him.

BUZFUZ.

This individual attempts to skulk
out of the charges made against us
that we had at late meeting of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, "decried Martinsburg and the
people generally, By representing to the
members Of that committee That the no.
tells Of MartinsbTg could not accom-
modate such an dssemblage as The State
Conuention, and that the Democracy
Of this section did not scdnt or care for
its being held here" We pronounced
this charge as false in every particu-
lar, having no foundation whatever
in fact, and published letter from
Col. w. p. Thompson, a member Of
the Committee, who was present dur
ing the entire session of it's late meet
ing, which was a complete -efutation
of Buzfuz's lying charge, and we
presume entirely satisfactory to any
gentleman who read it. 1t nailed
the lie so completely, that Buzfuz
now announces that his charge was
only "inapgied." Now he attempts
to sustain his implied charge with
hearsay evidence, as against the posi-
tive statement of Col. Thompson, a
member of the Committee. If we
had made any such statement before
the Committee, or to any member
thereof, as charged by Buzfuz, we
presume there would be no difficulty
in getting a statement Of the fact
from the members of the Committee
present, or at least some one of them.
The meeting of the Committee was
private. No outside parties were
present at its deliberations, and there
fore could know nothing of it's pro-
ceedings, not made public, unless it
came through the members present.
Here is the evidence which BuZfuz
produces to sustain his charges

More Scandal Troubles.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-IIenry G.
Bowen yesterday received docu-
mentaIy statement of the grievances
of 5. V. White, of Plymouth Church.
The statement sets forth that White
hearing of Bewen's knowledge of
certain things against Beecher, went
to him to have him say one thing or
the other, but Bowen refused to give
him satisfaction. White again Visi-
ted him with Brothers Moody and
Gilbert, of Plymouth Church, but
Bowen still refused to satisfy them.
whereupon White reported the mat
ter to the church. Bowen spent last
evening considering the allegations,
and said the public would hear from
him in due time. If he fails to re-
spond satisfactorily the committee
may report him to him to the church,
and then he may be "ousted." AS
soon as his answer is ready ne will
meet the committee.
1t is understood the list of church
es to be invited to the Plymouth
Church advisory council will be made
public after the businass meeting of
the church next Friday evening.

PL YMOUTH CHURCH TROU
RTES

The Plymouth church troubles
seem to be as far from settlement as
ever. The attempts made villain the
last six months to adjust the trou-
bles, or rather to bring the two-fold
controversy into the way of adjust
ment, have resulted thus far in COM
plicating t..e quarrels and in extend
ing their area. AT length two or
three questions respecting Congre-
gational polity or church order, have
become inexplicably mixed up with
the question of Mr.. Beecher's guilt
or innocence, and for the outsider, lat
least, it is not easy to see how in con-
sistency with the principles asserted
by Plymouth Church, any tribunal
can be constituted capable of restol-
ng either general confidence in Mr..
Beecher or general harmony between
his church and other churches in fell
lowship with it. Important rep.e-
sentatives of the Congregational pol
ity take strong ground against the
method in which Plymouth has been
wont to deal with the disaffected or
Objectionable members, and the Ply
mouth people, including the pastor,
seem all the more unlikely to reform
their discipline or to make it con-
formable to that of other churches,
for the reason that they evidently feel
quite able to walk alone, many of
them thinking that a ondition of
entire independence would be more
favorable to the prosperity of their
church. Such state of isolation APP
pears most likely to be the issue of
the debate.
AS to the case Of Mrs. Moulton, the
outcome of the attempt to obtain a
mutual council has been most unfor-
tunate. The part es are now so COM
pletely antagonistic, and so hopeless
of ultimate agreement that they have
dismissed all reserve in the exp :
sion of their mutual irritation. Ex-
Judge Van Colt, Mrs. Moulton's
representative in the discussion of
the preliminaries to the proposed
council, having in a letter to his
client characterized Mr.. Beecher's
language concerning her us COARSE"
Mr.. Beecher for the first time lex
cept while giving his testimony in
COURT lost self-possession, cnd in :.
speech to his congregation charged
Judge Van Colt with " falsehood, :"
and denied him "the instincts of
gentleman" Whatever its pro-
vocation, this sneo"" bas not pro-
duced al -. 80 lie
speaker.
Another incident which has not
enhanced Mr.. Beecher in public esti-
nation has been his protest against
the invitation of the Rev. DIR. Storrs
and Buddington to sit as membe-s OF
the mutual council. Both DEL
gentlemen of the highest character,
as well as clergymen of shining rep
utation, Indifferent people cannot
well understand why they should not
be presumed capable of doing justice,
or, at any rate, of judging impartial
ly in a co 1t 'oversy between a neigh
boring church and one of it's men,

quite reputation for lawlessness.
1t will be remembered that the
Sheriff of Kanawha county, SEINE
weeks ago, fled with two prisoners,
named Dawson and Estep, to prevent
their falling into the hands of an in
furiated mob. He made his way
across the mountains and finally
placed his prisoners in the Peniten-
tiary al Moundsville, for safe keep
ing. Recently he took them back to
Charleston for trial, being assured
no further violence would be Of
fered, and that the law would take
it's own course. Now comes by tel
egraph the announcement that on
Tuesday night about 200 armed men
arrived at Charleston on steamer,
proceeding to the Jail where Dawson
and Estep, the murderers, were con-
fled took them out and carried them
off TO the woods, where they were
doubtless hung.
On Tuesday morning, Thomas
Hines, tailor, stabbed and killed a
colored shoemaker, named Dooly.
Hines was put in Jail, and after the
mob had carried off Dawson and Es-
tep, about fifty colored men invaded
the Jail, took Hines in their custody,
and followed the former crowd to
the woods, wherein too, was no doubt
hanged, making three victims of
Lynch Law in single night, in the
same community.
On Saturday night last a man
named Williams, who, in connection
with the wife of the murdered man,
Miner, bad been arrested and placed
in the Jail at Barboursville, charged
with murder, were taken out by a
body of armed men and hung. His
partner in crime, Mrs. Miner, bare
ly escaped the same fate.
Thus four persons have been
lynched in this State, within a week.
This indicates a state of affairs as
bad ever as existed on western front
iers. Each one of these parties doubt
less deserved death, but the manner
of their taking off is a disgrace to
civilization. If this thing is to 60
on there is no telling where it may
end. The worst criminal is entitled
to a fair and impartial trial by jury
OF his countrymen. The mob who
deprives him Of such privilege 10y
taking his life, themselves become
yiolators of the law, and deserve
punishment. They act, no doubt las
they suppose, in the interest of good
order. But an expasperated and in
furiated mob are not calculated to
decide fairly upon the guilt or limo
cence of their victims, and it is bet
ter that ninety and nine guilty men
should escape than that one should
be hung innocent.

MIR. EICHELBERGER,
Dear Sir-In answer to inquiry, /
have to state that | heard in Wheel
ing, before / left, from Mr.. Simpson,
that Martinsburg would have been
selected as the place of meeting of
the State Convention, but for the re-
presentations of Mr.. w. T. Logan,
that sufficient hotel accommodations
could not be had in this city, and
that there was no room to accemmo-
date the convention.
Yours truly, ADAM SMALL.
We are not much posted in legal
matters, but we venture the asser-
ton that such hearsay evidence as
the above would be summarily
thrown out in any court in the coun-
try. Messrs. Miller, Jordan and
Simpson say that the Convention
would have been held at Martinsburg
but for our opposition. Now let
these gentlemen furnish the proof to
Substantiate their assertion. We
have produced positive proof to the
contrary, and propose to give the tes-
timony of the other members of the
Committee, if necessary, to show
how these gentlemen have drawn on
their imaginations. We did not see
Messrs. Simpson and Jordan while
in Wheeling, and only met Mr.. Mil
Ter on the street in company with
other gentlemen. Viewer not pres

held until Z p. m. But we do not
propose to occupy further space in
explanation. When such a character
as old Buzfuz speaks of Col. Thomp-
son as ''swift Witness" it simply
shows to what straits he is driven,
and that he is as regardless of decen-
cy or gentlemanly instincts as he is
Of the truth.
We hope Buzzy will now hurry up

some other than heresay evidence to
sustain him. Until he does this he

ONCE more the Democrats, in their
pryiny and classifying, have made q
mistake, aud this time it is one that
will likely cost them many votes,
even from people who lately have
been bat lukewarm toward the Re-
publican party. By pretending to
investigate Senator Morton they
have given Indianas great war Gov
ernor an opportunity to lay his
record before the country once more,
and refresh the memory Of the Dem
ocrats during that trying time, and
the elements the loyal people had to
contend with in Indiana. The Dem
ocratic legislature OF Indiana would
appropriate no money to equip
troops, and Governor Morton was
compelled to call on the General
Government in order to save the
state. That every penny of this
money was properly applied and
strictly accounted for he proved by
the Treasury records. The Demo
Gratis must be greatly chagrined at
the outcome of their Morton inves-
tigation."
