Explanation of. the Keeney-Benpflei
IHK
brogllor.
We Irish this to be regarded as un explanation to the public, as it is the 2rat time we have said anything in reference to this matter, and we speak now without any feeling of malice or ill will to Mr. Benefiel, but simply to defend ourselves from the unprovoked assault of the idiotic printer" (we won't disgrace the profession by calling him editor) who in assailing us, by his foolish and meaningless remarks, has given Mr. Benefiel an unenviable notoriety which otherwise he would not have obtained. The last issue of the Journal reflects upon the credit and respectability^of some of our most worthy citizens. We have had no conversation with the persons to tvhom this cowardly and hireling vilifier has behaved so unjustly and know not whether they consider him of sufficient importance to be noticed. But as we have been attacked without cause or provocation not having been a witness to the "transactions" to which he alludes, we will give, injustice to ourselves, the facts as we have learned them. It seems, to give a most liberal and charitable view to the circumstances, it would have been better for the Journal to have said nothing about the matter. If it was a slander it would have died out, but now we are compell^, reluctantly, to explaw the origin of Keeney's spleen.
It seems that our usually quiet town was considerably excited by the rumor—if rumor it was—that Mr. Benefiel had been guilty of unchristian conduct. So indignant did Mr. B. feel, that he demanded an investigation and was granted an ecclesiastical trial. The Sunday following such trial Mr. Benefiel was reprimanded from the pulpit by the Rev. Mr. Crowe, in other words, Mr. Crowe said, in substance—"that the Session are compelled to to find you guilty of an intimacy which you have admitted, and for the cause of religion and the church, you are recommended to discontinue it." The trial was conducted in secret and we know nothing of the testimony adduced nor of the guilt or innocence of Mr. fioi, k„i «,nom,
tjjat
if be was
cleared, as the Journal asserts, Kceney would not be so anxious to assail those who arc his betters in morality, honesty and all the virtues that should characterize mankind. We have no wish to give Mr. Benefiel any undue prominence, as he has already excited more comment than he deserves, but Kceney in coming to liis defense by assaulting us andj the witnesses he himself called up to testify, has, we are sorry to say, made for Mr. Benefiel a bed of thorns which the ignorant Kceney never dreamed of. If he is wise he will stay the braying of that narrow-headed, long-eared importation from the knobs of a neighboring State, who when he opens his mouth shows the striking marks of his descent.
We trust that the witnesses, who were forced to tell what they knew of this matter and unwillingly too, being ladies and gentlemen of honor, will not allow, in justice to themselves, this rude assauH upon their personal characters, upon their truthfulness and standing in community to pass unrebuked, but that they will set themselves right before the community. As publicity has been given to the matter by Kceney, who if these minors wore false should have passed Ihcm by unheeded, satisfied that the community would right those assailed, the witnesses owe it to themselves to give an explanation.
As for ourselves wo neldom notice Keeney, anjl should not now, but that he has persistently drawn us* into this by way of explanation. Personally we entertain no unchristian feelings against Mr. Benefiel and know or caro very little about his afrairs. As for Kceney, he is too far down in the scale of humanity, intellectually and morally, to merit any condescension on our part in noticing his feeble efforts at newspaper controversy.
The poor thing is therefore dismissed for the future with the parting salutation that Un cle Tobby gave the maggot-breeding fly "Go poor devil, thore is room enough in this broad world for you and I."
The Character of Respectable Citizens Assailed. Keeney in the last number of the journal thus assaults the characters of the witnesses in a rccent ecclesiastical trial held in our city: "Tnere arc a few individuals in our midst, who could materially improve the peace and happiness of themselves, as well as that of those by whom they are surrouded, if they would occasionally refresh their troubled minds with the trite saying, that, "people who live in glass houses should never throw stones." There is such a thing as talking too miifh.
Our volunteer aavice, ._ tion, would be this: spend no time in lying around the alleys or premises of a neighbor (under cover of the blackness of night,) for the purpose of "seeing sights" or catehing a glimpse of his maneuvering or business. Eaves-dropping is calculated only to engender strife and ill-feeling, and make you the despised of all right-seeing and right-thinkine people.
"Such conduct is unjustifiable, mean, cowardly and contemptible and like vice, or licentiousness, is deserving the indignant re bukc of all good citizens."
Tho few individuals in our midst" he has reference to, are the witnesses, who number among our most respectable citizens, the names of which wo hero give:. Mr. and Mrs. John Hoover, Mr. H. II. Wade, Mr. M. H. Galey, Mr. Thomas Griffith and Mr. Wm. Bowers. These persons are accused of "unjustifiable, mean, cowardly and contemptible conduct," and threatened with a hint that they live in glass houseB. Our advice to these persons, is to pay no attention to tho filthy slang of this poor miserable crcaturo, half idiotic and totally irresponsible, he should be passed by with total indifference and regarded only as a canker, a plague-sore, an embossed carbuncle upon the body of a corrupt and depraved humanity which purity should shun as a pestilence.
A splendid assortment of new and elegant stoves have been reo«ved during tbe p»$t, eelr at Cajnb»rlan,iV_
we give below a communication publish4
ed by him in the Journal. We have no motive or desire to, prejudice the community against him. It is an affair in which' we have no interest and which we. nqp leave to be settled between'^ him and the., witnesses in the case:
Afcout the latest we have from madam rumor is, a report that I have been put on trial before the session of'"the church, found guilty, and actually turned, or
uread
out of church," on last Sabbath. Here allow me again to say that whoever has made or may make this statement is either so ignorant as to be irresponsible, or so wickcd as to be guilty of the most unmitigated falsehood. They can take which ever horn they like best.
The truth #n relation to the matter is this —The session refused to take up the case at all until I demanded an investigation, whereupon they instituted a thoroujfii' judicial process and in order that there might be no ground for the charge of unfairness, or of a disposition to cover up or conceal anything, or as some wise-acres said, to "turn the whole thing into a farce," citations wenrat once issued and put into the hands of rhc witnesses, and then a whole week allowed them to get their batteries in readiness for the work of demolition. If, therefore, there was a failure to make out a case, it surely was not my fault, neither was itf of the session, for they certainly treated the witnesses with all the respect they were entitled to, giving them all the time and affording them the very best opportunity they could ask to substantiate the charge. Every witness that appeared, took a solemn oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so far as they had any knowledge of the matter before thom. If any one of them, therefore, failed to tell all he or she knew, then that one is simply guilty of perjury—but if every one of them told all they knew, as they said they had, then there was an utter and total failure to establish the charges indeed every single witness declared that they knew of nothing at all to justify the report that had gone abroad and did not believe there was or had been any thing whatever criminal in the matter.
Now, after all this, can any man or wo man have the effrontery to reiterate this foul slander with a new edition ot miov dav? I hold myself in read mess to make good every word I have said, and the man that doubts it, has oniy to put me to the proof—until he does that he would do well to hold his peace. And to certain persons professing to be christians, permit me to say that if they would study and practice a little more of the teaching of our Lord, as contained in the 18th of Matthew and. elsewhere in His Word, they would do themselves much more credit, and the cause of reli gion far less harm.
And now a word in reference to "those mine accusers." Who are they? Are they of the honorable, high-minded, virtuous portion of community, who would acorn a mean act? I tell you Nay! But they arc those men and toomeiu who, for want of a better business, or a dispositiogi tp confine themselves to an honorable eni-! ployment, condescended (if there was anr room for such a thing) to the link, meal low and contemptible business of secreting themselves under cover of darkness, "loving darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil," watching from darkened windows, from alleys, from behind fences, wood piles and hogsheads in back yards for the purpose of seeing who might chance to go in or out of a neighbor's door. "To the pure, all things are pure,-" aod th« negative of this is equally ra«.

Mr. KEENEY:—Will you pgrtnit'me to occupy a small space in the columns of the JOURNAL, in a brief notice of certain rumors concerning myself, that have been put into circulation in the community, A report charging me with immoral antr unchristian conduct has become quite qprrent both in town and country.
sr.
What I wish now to say is, that the charge is utterly false, as I am prepared to show, and the man or woman who utters it is either an inventor or peddler of the grossest and most infamous fajpeliood and slander. It is not a little trying to a man of any proper sensibilities, who has lived in a community as long as Wiavein this, to find persons vile enough to originate unprovoked, such cruel and infamous slanders upon.his character,which is dearer to him than life itself. I have lived a little longer, and am known quite as well, ab iome men in this community who have taken the liberty of using my name very, freely, and that too, in a way not becomr ing gentlemen—some of whom would do well to remember that glass houses are rather a delicate kind of structure, hence those who live in them should be very cAutipus about throwing stones.
A man had better be right sure that his oxon record is clean before speaking too freely of b-% neighbor's. Some men write letters some times that they perhaps would uui MXc -ovcvjlrajj to uao Such men should be a little modest in the expression of their opinion of others. But there are some other persons, wW, if they did fiot originate, have busied themselves u. circulating this foul slandctj and other falsehoods in connection with it, some of whom profess to be christians too, who, if thqy had as much piety or prudence as tongue might find ample employment in their own families, and be much more useful members of society.

Two leading radical papers in Chicago (Trib^xe and Republican) are now denouncing President Johnson. They^are opposing his efforts to harmonize the Union and are more bitter in their opposition to the "government" than were tho vilest "copperhead" sheets against certain policies of Lincoln. The Times is now the only true Union paper in Chicago.

The defeat of negro suffrage in Connecticut causes the radicals in this locality to look blue around the gills.

An Affecting Scene.
A gentleman who was present at the late great convocation of Odd Fellows in Baltimore relates to us an* affecting scene that took place in the Grand Lodge of the United States. The different States were called upon for their dues to the Grand fiodge, when, one by one, the representatives from the Southern lodges got up and confessed their inability to pay' the amounts assessed against them, their treasuries-Being empty, and the members of the subordinate lodges unable, at the present, to replenish thein. After the roll had been callcd, a representative from the North moved that the dues of the Southern Lodges be remitted. This called forth general remarks from the Northern members, who all concurred in the motion, and expressed great joy at meeting the Southern brethren and deep sympathy at the misfortunes which had over--.w

after which a number of Southern representatives arose and thanked the Grand Lodge for their kindness and the sympathy manifested in their behalf. Some were so much affected they could not give expression to their words. Tears were freely shed, and a scene of congratulation and hand shaking ensued, amid which
tho Grand Lodge adjourned till next day. —Ar. A. Ledger.
MINISTERIAL INNOCENCE.—Last week a fast young woman about nineteen, clad inboys clothes, went up river on the steamer War Eagle, acting so much like a young man that hardly any one suspected her. She stopped at Heed's Landing put up at. a hotel, and as beds were scarce was domiciled for the night with a Methodist Minister residing in Milwaukee, en route for Menominee, where he was to take charge of a congregation. How they slept, whether well or not, we cannot state, but it is safe to say if the minister keeps on choosing such "boys" for bed fellows, we fear he will, be deprived of his charge.
