TO A

Andover Theological Seminary Wants Investigate Becc'aer. •His Advisory loniicil.

New York, Feb. 10.—Henry C, Bo wen, accompanied by Dr. W. H. Ward of the Independent, and his two sons, appeared before the examining committee of Plymouth church to-night, in answer to a summons to appear and to testify to facts known to him in reference to the charge a* gainst H. W. Beecher. Bowen read a statement, in which he alluded to the unfairness and irregularities cf procedure, but said that he wished to a-sist the committee to make the examination thorough and conclusive I propose that three men within the Congregational body be selected, who are distinguihed for their wisdom, such, for example, as President Worlsey, President Asa D. Smith, President Fairchild. Judge L. Foster, the Hon. Alpheus Hardy, or the Hon. Julius H. Seelye, men in whose decision the world will feel confidence, who shall be pledged to keep all such evidence secret, before only Mr. Beecher and myself shall appear with our witueeses, and before whom I will consent without any reserve whatever, and as soon as they can meet, to give in full their evidence, which has lead me to say that I have no doubt Beecher is guilty of adultery, hypocrisy and perjury. I ask nothing more thah that they shall fully consider the questions which you seem to have before you. Whether I deserve ecclesiastical censure for my previous silence in reference to Mr. Beecher, and whether I am now justified by the facts in n?y possession in making what you call my iiis famous allegations and insinuations abont him, made in response to your own demand for a reply to Mr. White's grievances. 1 am willing to abide by the censure or approval of such a body of men, if Mr. Beecher and Plymouth church will submit to their decision. I reaffirm everything I have stated about H. W, Beecher in my previous communication to you, and I am ready to substantiate it before such a tribunal. Very respectfully,

HENRY C. BOWEN.

The committee decided not to ac« cept Bowen's propooition because it was not a case between Beecher and Bowen, but a case between Plymoth church and Bowen, and should not be withdrawn from the the church and taken before strangers. Bowen said that it appeared that he was now on trial before them, but protested against the injustice of summoning him to answer on so short a notsce, and asked for ten days in whiuh to consult papers, documents, dates and memorandums refrring to the case. At the end of that time he would appear before them, and answer dnv question that might be proposed to him. He requested that copias of the charges and specifications be furnished him. He was ready at any momeut to answer any question which referred to essential facts oniy.be was not ready then for a formal trial. After consultations the following resolutions were dopted by the cotnmi-

The committee decline to

accede to Mr. Bowen's request for a further adjournment. Second, That they now urge him to state any fact in his possession, in support of the allegation that he has made, feeling the character of tne

That if he now declines to

state such

facts,

we shall to-morrow

evening, report to the church the action which has been taken, and ask for instructions.

Mr. Bowen then said as the com mittee refused to give him the necessary time to prepare a reply, he must withdraw. He then read the following paper:

Had you adopted my answer to Mr. White, and then invited me as a fellow member, in the interest of the purity of the church, to state the fact to which I referred, that you might know whether or not the pastor was a

good

man, I should have been c-

bliged to answer without further cerimony, but you cannot now put yourselves on that ground. You tell me that my case is on trial, and now the right to insist on an orderly trial. I was not ready to speak during the years I have kept silent. But I am now ready when properiy put on trial before auy pro ier tribunal, or before you, out I must decline at this notice, and in this irregular way to answer your question to-night. He again appeal ed to them while leaving the room to give him time to prepare a reply

Mr. Bowen then withdrew. Tne committee remained in session for some time. After they had adjournedit was stated that the committee would, on to-morrow evening, present a verbatim report of the proceedings iti the case of Mr. Bowen to the church at its. adjourned annual meeting.

ADVISORY COUNCIL.

Millwaukee, Wis. The Olivet church of this city, aud the Congre gational church, of Madison, will be represented at the Advisory Council at Brooklyn.

Boston, Feb. 10.—The Congregational church in Andover theologiical seminary, voted on Wednesday night, to invite the Plymouth church to unite with them in excclasiastcal council for investigation into the accusations madelagaints Rev. H. W. Beecher. This vote expressed simply the chnrobes sense of need ol an examination, and of the injurious influences of delay the importance of action is suggested by the fact that thi

HAUTE,

more than one-third of the acting Congregational ministry, and more than three hundred'clergymen.

New York, Feb. 10.—The Christian Union says that fifty churches have accepted by letter the invitation to Plymouth church advisory council. The North church of Portsmouth, Xcw Hampshire, and tho Central church of Lynn, Massachusetts, le* cline the invitation. The South Congregational society of Salem, Massachusetts, reversed its former action and voted to decline. The leading editorial of the Independent is devo ted to criticism of Beecher and the action of Plymouth church, ami i3 unmistakably hostile to both.

REVERDY JOIIXSO.\.

J'aylhpr Par ioiilnrs foBCPKia Hi* Deat'j. Annapolis, Feb. 11.—The main facts connected with the fad death of Reverdy Johnson, in the grounds attached to the executive monsion, as made known last night are not changed by developments this morning. His death was so sudden and ui expeoted, after his appearance in the State Library and about the State House yesterday, while Legislature was in session in apparently full health, that the community has not yet recovered from tiie shock. Dr, Lewis II. fife in State Senator fiom Frederick County, a distinguished Physiciau and Chief inspector of the Sanitary Commission in the army of the Potomac during the war, who examined Cody, shortly after it was found. gives the following as his tneory or the cause of the death of Mr. Johnson. He either stumbled over a piece of coal, or being seized with vertigo, ot incipient symptoms of apoplexy, and striving to save himself, moved towards the west, staggering along by the northerly side of the Executive mansion at the each step his body gaining additional momentum, so that having reached the door leading into the basement, he the northerly side of the executive mansion at each step

hi3

body gaining

additional momentum, until having reached the door leading to tho basement, he swayed around to the south and-fell, his head striking against the sharp corner of granite of tho house, and which gave the llrst wound on the bead on reaching tho pavement of rough cobble stones, a second wound was received in front of the first. At this instant,probably the bones of the nose were fractured and one joint of the finger ofthe right band was dislocated. Whether subsequent struggles may account for abraisions on ihe knees and fingers of the left band, cannot be positively asserted. Tho wounds in scalp was accompanitd with fractures of the external bones of the cranium, and tho base of the skull also, with probable rupture of some of tho arteries at the base. Death must have resulted instantly. Mr. Gwinne, Attorney General of the State, and son-in-law ot Mr. Johnson, is of the opinion that he was seized with vertigo and fell, as ho had a similar attack lasting three hours, while attending a trial in South Carolina, several years ago.

When the General Assembly met today it was immediately informed by a communication from Gov. Carroll of the decease of Mr. Johnson, both houses at once adjourned and will assemble in tho hall of the House at 3 o'clock then go to the executive mansion and escort the reamoins to the d« pot.where they will be taken to Baltimore in a special car. The Governor said in his communication that Mi. Johnson died from unaccountable and unwitnessed accident.

ACTION IN BALTIMORE.

Engilkc Iti called—He Repeats the b'oiy Told o:i Fornipr Trials.

St. Louis, Feb, 11.—'flie first witness called this a. in. in the trial of General O. E. Babcock wa3 Major E. B. Grimes depot quarter master in the U. S. rrmey stationed at St. Louis. Major Grimes was introduced by the prosecution to show that General Babcock carrid on a correspondence with Mc Donald fast fall while the latter was under indictment for complicity in the whisky frauds. Major Grimes said: I have beeu in the army since Sept. 18G2. I know Gen. Babcock having met him first in 1S02 in Utah where 1 was district quarter master. I saw Gen. Babcock when he was here last fall, probably in Sept. just before fair time with the Presidential party. He said to me that he would probabiy want to send some letters or packages through me to other parties. He did not say to whom. After that he seut three letters me, aud I recollect, that is, suppose he sent them. I got a ietter addressed to myself with another letter in it, that was a short time alter I saw Gen, Babcock here. Tho letters enclosed iu mine was in a white envelope, sealed and marked McDonald. The liole to me in the first letter was simply, "Please deliver the enclosed letter to McDonald," and it was signed O. E. Babcock. I gave the enclosed letter to McDonald. I think, at my office, a week or ten days after I received another letter, through the postoffice, directed to me. There was no note in it, but an envelope, addressed in a different hand from that of the first, to McDonald. There was not a note to me, but a piece of paper wrapped around tho envelope. The third letter was just like the second. I delivered all three of these letters to McDonald, wheu one of tn?m came, he was not here and in trying to find hi ml met his brother-in-law, Tom Walsh, aud told him, but I don't know what Walsh did op tjbe crossexamination, Mayor Grimes said he bad known Gen. Babcock personally and intimately, and that the latter had been a good friend to him ou one occasion when McDonald and McKee were reported to be using their influence to have him removed because he would not put a man in the place that they wanted, Babcock promised his influence to prevent the removal.

Witness in the course of his cross examination said once when,! deliv* ered these letters to Mc Donald I a9k ed him, Mc Donald did Babcack have anything ty do with this whisky ring and he said Grimes. I dont or dont believe he knows any more about it than you do and you know you dont know auythingabout it.

On the re-direct examination Major Grimos was asked: Did McDonald in that conversation say that ho himself didn't know anything about tho whisky ring?

Witness—Yes, be did. (Laughter.) District Attorney—How did you come to ask if Babcock had anything to do with tho whisky ring?

Witness—I asked it for the simple reason that if Babcock, who bad beeu mv friend, had had anything to do with it. I was going to drop him.

District Attorney—What reason had you to suspect the General? Witness—Nothing but the fact of the letters sentthrough me.

Mr. Grimes was followed by B- H. Engelke, the rectifier, who gave an account of his operations.
