RUMoEs ABOUT A NATIONAL CONGREGATIONAL
coUNcn,-oPNroSs ON THE PLYMOUTH
TROUBLE.
Yesterday, among the congregations at the several
Congregational churches OF Brooklyn well as Of New
York, rumor to the effect that the leading members
of the denomination determined upon an effort TO &C.
cure the gathering national Congregational coun-
c clearly define the rules of fellowship
membership and individual church government, com
manded general attention and favor. The effort was
understood to be made purely for the benefit the de-
nomination in OF serious differences OF OPINION
and without special direct reference the present
status Of the Beecher lmbroglio or any OF the I'M
pleasant scandals growing out oft There is evidently
increased desire TO have The denomination, SUCH
relieved OF the difficulties In the future which, In
the recent past have, is felt given private opn
ion all the power Tor good evil in causing agitation,
that organized denominatona declaration could have
shown. The belief entertained by many rs that
explicit declarations on all points involved In the
present controversies, made by national council
called for that purpose alone, would tend greatly
the wicked TO from troubling the Congrc
gational Church organization for many years come
There were also expressions Of the opinion
thai Mr. Beechers FRIDAY night response 10 the letter
OF Joshua NJ Van cott advising Mrs Mouton to rest
her for the present. at least required from the
Brooklyn lawyer explicit and effective rejoinder
order 10 leave the status OF his client In the
public mind we'll before the letter was
printed. Il was felt therefore TO have been un-
fortunate that professional duties should have required
his presence in Washington when the OCCASION
for his services in Brooklyn was so urgent
Then the charges made by Mr.. White against his
fellow member Of Plymouth church, Henry C. Bowen,
we're referred aud wonder expressed 10 whether
when duly transcribed, they will appear 70 be any
more serious than when made verbally
In reference TO the charges, and Mr.. Bowen's re-
sponse 70 them, AL Bowen has made the following
statement 20 herald reporter-hr. Bowen said
that he had yet received the promised written copy
of Mr.. whites charges, and he most assuredly would
not trouble himself with any response until he could
SEQ whether the written charges contained any
thing than Ar. White said was all he knew when

We quote tho following concise
statement oftho recent e,cpose OF the
Secretary Of War from tie Y. /.
Uerdld: The evidence Of Mr., ca
leb r. Marsh, of New York city,
against Secretary BellinGp states
that no paid the Secretary in all
twenty thousand dollars out of tho
forty thousand he received from the
appointment to the post leadership
at Fort Sill, |. T., given him by the
latter. This forty thousand dollars
was clear profit, as Mr., Marsh tosti-
ties that by an arrangement with a
Mr. Evens, the post trader before
him, the latter carried on the busi.
ness, giving Marsh bonus OF twelve
thousand dollars n year for two years
and six thousand dollarsa year since.
AS Mr. Marsh received the payments
ho regularly halved them with the
Secretary Of War The money was
sent in various ways or handed in
person, The appointment was pro-
cured in 1871. Mr., Marsh testilies,
through the Offices Of tho deceased
Mrs. Belknap and lis present wife,
then Mrs. Bowers, the deceased
wifc's sister. On being served with
the subpoena to give evidence before
the House Committee on EXpendi
tures in the War Department Mr.,
Marsh went to Washington and con
suited with Secretary Bell;nap and
his wife as to what he should do,
Bclknap was excited and begged
Marsh TO eXtricaie him from the im
pending ruin, Mrs Belknap sug-
n, n'ed a plan Of eyading the truth
T. tho y, tier, but Marsh told her il
would not I'D Id water before the
committee" Marsh w. u'erSu W i'a',
the country, but his counsc, 'o'''eu
out that he would have TO REM, u
away until the present Congress ex-
pired the Secretary said Marsh d
going away would ruin him equally
with Marshs telling the truth. Mr.,
Tomlinson, Mrs. Belknap's brother,
suggested another evasory plan, by
which only part OF the truth would
be told. Marsh at last threw all the
plans overheard, won't before the
committee and gave the above &C.
count Of the transaction"
