Thinks

ALong Sfcat m?at to thfl Kxamiiiing Committee ol Plymouth Church,

He is Summoned to Appear Itafttrc the Committee on Tu«r3 lay Next.

New York, Feb. 4-To-night Mr. H. O. Boweii presented a letter to the examining committee of Plymouth church, in answer to the grievances of Mr. S. V. White, a member of said committee. He commences by say ing that he church once unanimously acquitted him of slandering the pastor. At that time he was charged with talking too much now the charge is that he is talking too little. His silence is based upon the tripartite agreement to bury the past and keep silent in the future. He relates the substance of the interviews with Mr. White, and says: "I felt at first, as I do now, that Mr. White, the examining Committee and Plymouth church could bebetter^ employed in investigating tbe direct charges against the pastor, made in the plainest language charges embracing the crimes of adultery and peijury, rather than in skirmishing about in new fields to see if a few more persons could not be scared, or in some way drawn or driven into tbe difH* culty. In my more than twenty-five years connection with Plymouth Church, I have heard many a sad story from many & sad heart some for loss of property some for the loss, of their dearest earthly friends, and some for the loss ol character, a greater loss than all. May God forgive me if.I have ever don a wrong in listening to one single case thus presented, but for this doing anu I hat only, I assert, I have been uncerimoniously summoned to appear befoie this committee, and I here, and now, mnst solemnly declare tnat there is no other basis for Mr, Whites grievances against me whether he will have other grievances against me. after hearing me this lime, remains to be seen. But let nae now ask a few ques'iotis: Who comes here to quote words of slander which have ever uttered against the pastor* Who ssys that I ever once, in any way except by silence, injured him? -Let me as!:: Has Henry Ward Beecher any grievances against me. Tf so, has he ever brought them before this com mi fee? Others as you know, have in the plainest English charged Mr. Beechsr with both adultery and peijur! They have challenged an invtisti*»tinn5ia court or in council, and hardly a whisper has been heard in reply. Where was taSm Mr. S. V. White all Urn time-where 1»«

Dare the

oentleman, or any of you, summon these accusers into a court of justice and there demand the evidence on which these charges of adultery and peijury against Mr. Beecher are made. If he is absolutely innocent, why do you not act as if you believed it and thus put to this horrible scandal. It he is & pure man, here is the straight road out of ail d'fiiculty. You have unfortunately, in my opmiou,.choseni a different course. Mr. White says that there is one too manj in Ply mouth chqrch at one end or the Sher He does not state that at one end of the church stands a man oDenly charged with adulterj, per­

his treacherous treatment of f.itnd-, to his breaking written covenants, to to his untruthful statements in court, to his dodging through all investigations iuto- his conduct and character,J

to his stolid indifference when unjust charges and malicious slanders have been made against particular members of his church, to his church recent centradtctory utterance in regard to what be characterized as a hodge podge council composed of wolves and foxes. Like Drs 8 to wo and Buddington, whose council at one time he said he had never positively objected to, but in regard to which he did on another occasion positively say, "I wont, I wont have anything to do with it,"— and finally at'his coarse abuse and slanderous charges of perjury uttered boldly and publicly in his lecture room against an honest Christian woman who had dared, as she alleged, to speak the truth connecting him. With this brief reference to matters which have had an influence in forming my judgement, I will now hasten to tell you frankly what are iny conclusion in regard to the character of the pastor of Plymouth cburcli.

I have known Mr. Beec/ier quite intimately since the day of his arrival in Brooklyn I have been acquainted with him socially and pri vately in the church, and bin family and in business matters. I haw heard attentively, but with grief, what has been said to me confidently against him. I have felt my heart stirred to its depths for dear friends, who years before the present scandal was published, sorrowfully begged m3' counsel as they assured me their pastor aud mine, had craftily betrayed the sancity of their homes, the very charge was, long after presented to me by Theodore Tilton iu regard of his own home. I never can or will be base enough to allow a single name to be bruited be fore the world, although I am now ready to testify to the essential facts before any proper tribunal. The.*e disclosures heard with a sad heart aud tried to accept the evidence brought to me that Mr. Beecher was grief stricken and penitent. I have read much that has been said for and against Mr Beecher in the public press. I have with utter amazement read and reread, and pondered over nis published letters and written confessions in regard to the serious accusations made against him. I have tried to weigh all the evidence which has come before me with judicial fairness and christian honesty. I have read withering charges which have been published to the world against him* I have seen those charges again and again hurled at him, and he calmly and boldly challenged to appear before any impartial tribunal to meet them. I have seen him with all this cloud of darkness gathering about him, apparently defying public opiuion, defying advice of old life long freinds. embracing the soundest, and ablest, and best clergmen in the country, and seemingly defying again and again, the very God of heaven himself to cast him down. Now, bein" summoned here to speak and to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, I solemnly give it as my unwavering opinion in view of all the facts and evidences preseuted to me that Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, without even the shadow of doubt, in my mind, is guilty of the awful crimes of adultery, perjury aud hypocrisy. This I say again, and before the bar of this committee, is my deliberate opinion, aisd I may be permitted to affirm that I give it calmly without malice, and with no other than a sincere desire to do my duty faithfully to God and to man, to the church and to the world.

New York, Feb. 4,—The examining committee of Plymouth church framed a letter to Bowen, in which he is summoned to appear befoie the committee on Tuesday evening next and give proor of the assertions con" tained in his reply to tbe grievances of Mr. White.

IRREGULAR SPIRITS.

PIIEPAUOG TO SEr ON BABCOIK AT ST. LOUIS.

The Bruiieh ISiuvjs.

St. Louis, Feb. 4.—Emory A. Storrs of Chicago, and of the couueil ol Gen. Babcock, and Benjamin Campbell, bis father-in-law, have arrived here. The general himself will arrive here to-morrow moruing, accompanied by a number of friends from Washington. It appears that Roger Sherman, whose arrival here was announced night before last, is not on Gen. Babcock's counsel, but is assistant United States district attorney at NewYork. His business here is said tr be to look up evidence against parties iu New York who are suspected of having received crooked whisky from St. Louis, and of having been in collusion with the ring here. It is stated that Mr. Sherman has been engaged in looking up telegraph correspondence, between Babcock and Mc­

Donald, aud others, and as he was retained as a witness to indentify, and verify dispatches. The Babcock case is expected to continue much longer then either of those preceeding it, the number of witnesses being greater, and there is a greater mass of documentary evidence to be introduced.

The report is published in the Evening Despatch this evening,that civil action will be brought against McIvee, after Babcock's case is concluda ed, for $700,000 on the basis of one million gallons, and that suit will also be instituted against Constantine Maguire aud his boudsman for $200. 000. These reports are denied by district attorney Dye? and others who are in a position.to know the facts, aud are pronounced baseless fabrications.

New Orleans, Feb. 4 —E. W. Barnes, manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was before the grand jury today,* having been summoned to produce the despatches between the crooked here, and at other :ints. Mr. Barnes stated that, he did not know that such dispatches had been sent, and if they had' it would require a week and much labor to look through the messages sent, several huudred thousand, and get out those required. The jury have the matter under consideration, and it is believed they will order the messages required to be produced by the telegraph managers. Ju lge Woods stated that an order of the court would be issued, if required, compelling Mr. Barnes to comply with the demands of the grand jury. The loss of books or failure to produce tbem, district attorney Beckweth states, delays the investigation, but the chain of evidence can and will be produced without them. The progress is slowbut certain The grand jury has been discharged uutil Monday.

Milweukee, Feb, 4.—To-night Deputy Marshal Bulkley, of this ty, arrived from Chicago, having in custody Alderman Judas Jones and Phillip Goldberg, of that city an indictment was returned against them yesterday bo the grand jury here for conspiracy formed last July to rob the collector's office in this city of all papers implicating indicted whisky men. The price asked for the job is alleged to be $80,000. They emphatically deny all knowledge of the conspiracy. Another man indicted with them has not yet been arrested.

New Orleans, Fep. 4.—In the house to-day, Mr. Kidd offered the following preamble and resolution which were adopted.

Whereas, The houss-of represeuta-: tiv-t)3 of tbe state of ^Louisiana, aotUBted by a sincere desire to have ali future elections in this state, conducted peaceably and with the utmost, fairness to all parties, have passed at the present session, an election bill, which is its main essential features can be objected to py no one desiring the maintananca of the purilyofthe pollott box or having peace of the staeafc heart, and

Wheias, The senate of the state has passed substitute for that bill, containing the most adious features of a most odious returnin board, anb provisions anti-republican in their character, aud which tends to destroy the expressed will of the people at the ballot box provisions which are in^ suiting to commou sense aud decency of every intelligent of Louisianan, and which in any free aud indepen* deut state of this Union would not be tolerated for one momeut, and which if adopted here, "wonld Inevitably droduce civil strife, disrupt society, anb pestroy the rmnant of our prospeiiyaud

Whereas, The state of Louisiana has been pillowed in shame andtr s* grace by the scandalous unq ou ageoua conducc of the prrsent return* ing board, whose powers are not so great as those which this senate substitute invests its proposed returning board, and

Whereas, This hnuse is unalterably and upon prirciple opposed to the adoption of any law providing for a returning board of any discription whatevover, though this house, under its provi-don^ should have beeu entitled to select all of its members and,

Whereas, Under the compact establishment by the Wheeler adjustment, the executive of state and the members of the general assembly committed themselves to a governmental policy, to be marked by reform aud reformotory measures, of which this seuate substitute is not one therefore,

Resolved, That it is with exceeding regret that this house has th9 knowledge of the passage by the Senate of this substitute bill, aud sincerely trusts that it may reconsider !ts detei minatidn to send the bill to this hou3e for its concurrence, aud that it is the sense of this house that a persistence on the part of any department or branch of this governs ment to adopt this substitute biil or any bill providing for a returning board, will be violative of the spirit and true interest of the Wheeler adjustment, aud that this house will be consequently absolved from all obligations thereuuder, and in the future should conduct its obligations accordingly. That it is the sincere and ardent wish of the members of this house to see the next and future elections in this State conducted faiily, peacebly, and with perfect consideration for the rights and opinions of all men, and at all times are willing to sincerely guarantee their assistance, and to carry out this desire. But they can never yield their assent tc an election law which would again invite arbitrators from other States which again would produce tbe ridiculous aspect of the settlement of

LAURA'S LEITifit?.

HAUTE, Fob. 4th, 1870.

Mv DEAR FANSIK-I asn ever so mucn obliged to you for your early and interesting answer to my letter of last woek. To toll the truth, I didn't get it ami! hist id^lit, "hut th.-it'a no iault of ynurn" as tii.it country lover of yours*used to say. How did it take so'long to come? I will tell you. Nothing is easier to explain. You s»e Ilal always pets the letters at the Piist-otfice, and if he is my brother, I must say ho is the most absent minded person about other people's business, I ever knew. I asked him every evening it he bad any letter lor me, for 1 thought you would writf, right off, as as you really did, but no, he always said, he hadn't any. Last night I felt just certain you had written, and sol insisted upon his looking through his pockets, and sure enough there was your letter, rumpled and bait(-red as Oadly as if it had been to sea. He tried to make out as if he had gotten it that evening, and had said be hadn't any, just to tease me for a little while. But the post mark on the letter, to say nothing of tho weather-beaten, or rather poefcet-marked condition convictedhim. So he finally 'fessed up, and on his promise to tak-1 me to the next entertainment at the Opera House I let bim off from a good scolding.

I told him what you said in your letter about Rockville what a quiet place it seemed to be, and how pious and temperate the people all were, and that you didn't believe that any of the people drank up there. I wound up with a little speech ot my own, to the effect that he had better go up there and po into businees, As you know, once in a while, especially on New Year's day, he pets as he calls i*-, some sheets or plliow c^ses—I sort of forget his exact words—in the wind. The phraso i3 a queer one isn't it? I can't understand it exactly unless it means that a person who gets under the influence of liquor has to hang out a pretty big fl«g of truce to the world, notifying it tbat he is all ripjht and peaceably inclined.

But I am running away from my story. Well, what do you suppose he said to my hint to him to go to Itockville. He said lie had been there once, and he bad bad the hardest time to keepstrai2ht then, ho ever bad in his lil'fl.' He went, up to visit a pious, temperance family, ana one mcmuuruniju family alter another took him asi ie, one to the barn, scnother to the woodshed, another to the cellar, and still another to the garret. In tho privacy of those several retreats, they, in turn, confided to him tbe fact that their's was ate perance family,and thai they didn't believe in setting a bad example to others in the matter of drinkingibut that as for themselv they were safe and sound, and were inclined to agree with Paul in Ids theory concerning what one should do for his stomach's sake. Hal said this little speech sounded very well in the barn and the cellar, coming severally from the two senior members of the firm, but he thought that part of it about the bud i-xaniple, sounded just a little queer, coming from John and Sarah in the woodshed and the garret, and that, what with the several members haviog different tastes, he found it extremely difficult, owing to the mixture, to repose soberly in the bosom of that tomperanc3 family. 1 just think this is one of his rediculoua speeches without a word of truht iu it. He meant to have it explain his queer look and suspicious breath after his return from that soldiers convention up there last fall. But I don't believe a word he says. Do you?

Oh, I have so much to tell you about thos6 outrageous news paper attacks on dear little Mr. Howe. The very next day after I wrote to you ho came outinaoard saying he had written some of those T. T. articles. He said too, he had written only a few, and if any body felt aggrieved for any he bad written, he would either apologize or argue the question. Now I am sure nothing could be fairer than that, and I only wish the person who wrote the oue sgaiust him would be equally fair, and give Mr. Howe a chance to defend himself. You know itsaid he was little, and parted his name on the side, and weut to the Opera House, aud always walked in a hurry, and was constantly personalized in the paper—the horrid slanderer, just as if Mr. Howe wrote the items aooufc himself, and wasn't written about by the papers because he is so great—and said be sometimes preached the same sermon over twice, and all sorts of other mean things. Some awtully bad and stupid fellow said iu ^ce of the papers—I dont remember now, which one, but they are all big enough donkeys, to have said it, except the Journal—that Mr. Howe wrote it himself. Now that's a likely story, isn't it? The idea of a man abusing himself, is au exquisite piece absurdity.

If he wasn't just too good to ever try and stir up a quarrel, he ought to find out, from Mr. Westfall, who wrote it and defend himself. I forgot to tell you, I guess, that Mr. Westfall said, in his paper, jthat he would tell the name of the author of any article, if asked. Now, for my part, I should like to have Mr, Howe find out who abused bim, and ansn wer the charge made' against bim. Maybe tbe people havefogotten what was said about bim, but he could republish it and then answer. I don't know just what he would say, but then, he is real smart, and I know could satisfy the people he was abus-

a

Louisiana election in the ciiy of xiiew York, and which again wouid cheat the will of the people as exprc£Sed at

v,. -7*31

day for the past two weeks, and I know be hasn't wanted it in at all, for lie told me so, and any body can see from his looks that he didn't. As to his size, he could turn the laugh on the others by saying that in drug stores the smallest packages are the most precious. No that wouldn't do either, for they are also generally poisons. I gues3 he had better not say that. But then I am sure he could say something 'hat ^ouldbegood. Dent you think he could.?

The Express said a lot of things the next day, abusing Mr. Howe terribly: But everybody knows the Ex press editors hate Mr. Howe because he is a preacher, just as Mr. Havens said in the Journal, and so what they say dont amount to much. I dont exactly remember what they said, for when I found tney weren't going to apologize to him for their previous attacks but were even worse than before I didn't read it carefully aud we ordered the paper stopped, I did see though that they acknowledged they had wick?d thoughts on Sunday, and that I am sure ought to be enough to condemn them. The whole bad business has about blown over, and I feel just as spiteful to the Express, for the horrid things it has said, as can be. I have fully made up my mind when I get married, not to invite that Mr. Shepherd to the wedding or let him Write a word about it or to send him a bit of cake.

Dear Fannie, Ishould like so much to tell you about the leap year party w-e girls are going to get up, about a sleigh ride I have had and all sorts of other things, but it is getting Jate and I will have to wait until I write ogain. Don't you forget to answer this right off.

Hal sends his regards and you know I am, as ever, your Loving LAURA.

Horolnsr Scsslcn of tlie Viaro Conaiiy Sunday School Association at tcutciiary Church.

The attendance at the convention this morning was not large, but each present, seemed to be interested^ in the topics brought up for discussion, As usual, the convention was opened by singing and prayer, and was lead by Ilev, Wm, M. Darwood. At 10 A. M., the President, J. A. Parker, took the chair, and tho work as laid down in the programme published in this paper last Saturday, was taken up. W. H. Bannister, who, in addition to his large business, finds time to look after suuday school interests, read a carefully prepared paper on ''The duties of teachers to scholars outside tr.e cuiiday sciiool session.

Dr Mitchell followed with practical suggestions laying particular stress in the importance of teachers visiting scholars.

VvT. W, Byers thougnt that the teachers ought, to recognize their scholars when meeting them ou the street. It p'eases childran to have their teachers as well as other friends notice them, and winn*their love.

Prof. C. W. Hougin.urged that the teacher should study the peculiarities of his pupils.

Wm. M. Darwood thought the teacher should set a good example to his scholars.

As arrauged previously, W. W Byers' paper "How to keep out of •ruts,' set down on the programme for the afternoon, .was read in the morning, as Mrs. Maria F. Starr was prevented, on account of business, from attending. Her paper on "The relation of the Suuday school to the church" will be read this afternoon

Rev. I). S. Morrison, of Sandford indicated a "rut," which be said was a most fatal pitfall into which to drop, It was the custom some superintend ents and teachers have of coining into the school late. Such conduct serves as a wet bvanket on the entire meet ing. The pupils must feel that there is something dreadfully earnest aT:out the question of salvation.

A gentleman from New Goshen made a number of remarks, pointed, because drawn from actual experience. He complained of the ignorance of the teachers and was referred by Mr. Royse the Secretary, to the Christian Union, as a paper containing each week a great deal of information on topics ot this nature. [Tbe GAZKTTK of each Saturday, contains an able review and analysis, by a minister, of the lesson.— Ed. GAZETTE.]

As Mr- James Gordon was not present to address the meeting on "The use of the blackboard," the persons present took the subject up and discussad it at length. Mr. Tennant ably advocated its occasional use. He was opposed by tho Rev. Morrison who had never seen a blackboard successfully managed in bis life but succeeded in showing that it is as an aid, as one element going to make up the success of the school. An indispensible addition. He had seen a picture portraying the

LOVE OP J3SU3 A'D JONATHAN which made a lasting impression on his mind.

Mrs, Hodgin agreed with him. Rev. Abby believed in illustrations always. A nut, an ear of corn every object animate or in animate, can be used, and if the board can be utilized to represent objects not at hand, and the representation can be_ successfully drawn, he has threat faith in the good good that it could accomplish.

The best of means, however, canLbe exbauzted, overdone, worn out, made a bore, and none is mora apt to be so used than the blackboard.

After singing "I love to-tell the story," the convention adjourned until this afternoon.

Is brother ot the Doctor. Tho family is a large one, and many of its members are professional men. The Rev., has the reputatiou of being very good and great. As to his goodness T. T„ has little doubt that it i.s as great as among men generally, not much greater. T. T., notices gthat ibe Rev., seems to enjoy the fun at the Opara House as weli as the "world's people," and suspects that hewants to go .there more thau he dares. I-Jowever he doubtless is about an average man morally.

He may be great intellectually, T. T. is not, or may not bo a good judge, and so he submits his reasons.

The Rev., is certainly not reat physicallyjand T. T., has a foolish notion that really great minus get into physical homes of respectable appearance. Perhaps not.

Tbe Rev. parts his hair and bis name cn the left side. This is good taste in reference to tbe hair, but do really great nifn part their names in that waj? T. T. has always set it down that signatures of that kind belong to spooneys:

Tho "Rev. goes tearing about the streets as if the continuance of tho world depended upon his reaching a certain point at a fixed minute near at hand, or as if ho was on the wrong side of the Great Gulf, aud was anxious to get across before dark. Are men of poweiful intellect always in a hurry?

T. T. has often been struck with the frequency with which Rev. Bi."blow's name appears ii the papers. If lie goos over to Macksville or to Sibley town, it. is duly announced. If he fills any petty appointment it is announced before and after* If be exchanges pulpits the papers all announce his departure and returc. T. T., notices, however, that the nutria of the parson filling his place is not so prominent. Does greatness consist in keeping a name parted on one sid? in tlie papers.

Subjecis of tne Riv. It's sermons are always announced. This is all right for people like to know what to expect. But T. T. notices that a single subject is often made to do frequent service. Are really great men repeaters? Probably they are. Big sermons like big strawberries require two bites.

T. T., is inclined to the conclusion that Rev. Biglow is as groat as he is good, and as good as be is great. If not, what is he? Therefore he is.

The 14th of February is tho day se' apart for tbe final effort of Dr. Lea W. Munball in this community. It is determined to raise a sufficiently largo sum to employ a Secretary to attend, so we understand, to this'work -exclusively. OG tbe conclusion of ibis'effort he will proceed immediately 'to New York.

From the New York Evening Telegram of day-before-yesterday, we learn of the following preparations that are being made for the work in that wicked Knickerbocker city, in which he will take ah active part:

The arrangements for tbe revival meetings to be held at the/hippodrome are now complete* William E. Dodge, Jr., will go to Philadelphia to-day and meet Mi. Sankey, who ia now there, and Mr. Moody, who will arrive from the South to-morrow, and tbe three will determine upon the day and hour of the first services. This evening the last rehearsal of the choir will take place. The choir consists of 1200 persons, all of whom wili be present this evening, occupying the eight buudred platform seats, and four hundred additional chairs around the platform.

Mr. M. K. Jesup, of the Committee oh the Moody and Sankey meetings to be held at the Hippodrome, called on Superintendent Walling to-day with loference to the polico regulations.
