The PendIe,on Chnrges.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Col. Graf
ton was examined to day before the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the War De-
partment. The chairman said TO him
that a telegram appeared in the New
York Herald of the Sth inst. containing
certain Information concerning the COM
mittee and himself, and that Mr.. Nord-
hoti, the author o. the telegram, said he
oblsined the information from General
Boynton, who yesterday testified that
be obtained his first intor-
nation from Mr.. Wilson, then
from Mr. Shellabarger, and next
from Col. Graften. The witness IN re-
ply said the conversation he had with
General Boynten was q week ago last
Saturday. He therefore did not tell
General Boynton in the conversation
that Mrs. Bowers, Mr. and Mrs. Marsh,
Mr.. Pendleton and Mr.. Clymer, travel
ed together in Europe, and that some of
the parties became acquainted with the
main facts alluded to in the telegram
referring TO Pendleton. The witness
related the conversation he had with
Gen. Boynton which the latter repeated
Yesterday. He did not think he stated
to Gen. Boynton that Gen. Kiddoo told
him that Mr.. Clymer refused to investl-
gate the Pendleton matter, but that he
said he had not sufficient data. The
witness did not tell to Genl. Boynton
ANYTHING that reflected on the
committee. He derived from
General Kiddoo the impression
that there was an indisposition on the
part of the committee TO examine into
the facts. General Kiddoo never stated
that Mr.. Clymer travelled in Europe with
the parties above mentioned. General
Kiddoo said he had met Mr., Clymer IN
Europe. but that he never met him with
those parties. Gen. Kiddoo never said
that Mr.. Clymer attended n meeting al
the Arlington Hotel with Mrs. Marsh and
Mrs. Belknap; nor did the witness say so
to General Boyrton,
Mr.. Blackburn offered a reso-
luton that everything done as
agreed to by this committee, shall be
accepted US q sanction of each OF the
members present at the meeting in which
such action is had, unless a dissent there

New HamDshire To-Day.

From the New York Herald, IA
Our dispatch from Concord, the Cap
ital Of the Granite State, seems 10 beto.

respondent ascribes it to q reason which
is disgraceiul To the Republican party.
he thinks they have bought up the
greater part of the purchasable voters,
aud that the election will be controlled
by corruption. We are reluctant TO be.
lieve this; partly because we do not
regard bribery AS leglu-
maze electioneering appliance, and
partly because strong rebuke OF the ad-
ministration would have a wholesome
political effect after the recent exposures
At Washington. We should be sincerely
sorry TO think that the people Of any
State are indifferent spectators OF official
corruption. l. the election returns
should verify the prediction Of our cor
respondent we horc it may turn out that
the result is not due to bribery, for we
would more willingly accept any other
explanation than this, which is SO dis
creditablo TO the character Of American
citizens. Astounding disclosures OF cor
rGption are less likely to have their full
effect on an election which takes place
Immediately than after the lapse Of an
interval. On the eve of an election
people are apt TO suspect that such re-
ports are invented or exaggerated for the
occasion, and when a set of counter reports
are put in circulation by the other party,
that portion of the voters who either ac-
eept both or discredit both are not likely
10 change sides. The Belknap exposure
has been offset by industriously diff
fused rumors affecting the char
aster of distinguished Democrats;
and, although the latter are un-
proved and Belknap's corruption is con-
iessed, the stories may not be very closely
sltted in the heat of violent party con-
lest Had the New Hampshire election
taken place month ago the Repubii-
sans would easily have carried the State,

TIE vote of New Hampshire during
the past three years is one OF the
srangest things IN the history Of this
Government. Year before last when
acts of official fraud were only OF tolera-
bly, frequent occurrence, the Democrats
carried the State Last year when these
acts had considerably increased, and the
Louisiana and other outrages had been
perpetrated, and a Radical Congress had
endeavored to reduce the whole country
to military despotism by means OF the
force bill, the Republicans carried it by a
plurality of only l72 votes. But
this year, whom we have all
the crimes and outrsges OF
the past to be added to the late exposures
Of tho. whisky ring; the conviction
rs felons of several Of the Radical party,
together with the indictment and moral
conviction of the Presidents private
secretary, and beside. al this the BEL
KSAP exposures and the corruption
vet threatened to be developed,
the Republicans have in the
Stste very large majority. The
people of New Hampshire, therefore.
seem to form q tondness for Radicalsm in
proportion as it grows in corruption,
Stories are rife that large sums have been
expended by the Republicans in buying
up votes, and from such record as the
above, it seems very likely that votes
there can very readily be bought.

TriaI OF Henry G. Bowen.

The special committee of five appoint
ed by plymouth Church TO try Henry G.
Bowen on five specific charges, held a
meeting last evening. The evening was
consumed in hearing testimony in an
swer to the first three charges as to vic.
lating the covenant with Plymouth
Church by silence when questioned
as to his knowledge of Mr.. Beecher's
guilt as to unchristian like
dlsreputable and dishonorable conduct.
And as to the third charge, of equivoca-
ton and fslsehood, DR.. Ward called Mr..
Bowen's two Oldest sons as witnesses.
Some of the evidence confirmed the state
rnent about Bowers searching ior evil
dence and facts in Sonth Brooklyn. He
found nothing of importance. The main
drift of the inquiry was TO learn whether
Bowen, in hi. statement to the examin-
ing committee, had brought forward a.!
the proof OF Importance which he possess
ed, and 1t was concluded that he had
done so.

declare opposition to any reputation
of the nations obligation, but assert that
the act OF Congress Of March 1869,
proposes to pay $40 bonds in gold is
a gross violation Of contract, whereby
the said bonds were issued and that said
law was passed by fraud. That an
effort is now boing made by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury TO pay the frac-
tional currency in silver should
be Immediately prohibited as silver
il moro worthless than currency.
That there should be no further funding
OF Government bonds until the exact
number of bonds outstanding is sscer-
tanned and the amount due from the syn .
dicate settled; tha. legal tenders are the
standard of value, while gold is continu
ally Auc;ua:ing for various reasons; that
the amount OF money required By peo-
pie depends on their intelligence.
