St. Lou's, Feb. 18.—Upon the conclusion of the session of the court last evening, the District Attorney announced that he would have some rebuttal evidence to otter this morning upon the opening to-day Geo. Gavin the Secretary of the board of police commissioners was called for the purpose of showing the record of Magill, the letter carrier who testified to returning two letters to Joyce. The witness did not answer, and the District Attorney immediately announced that the Government would put iti no rebuttal testimony. The case was then declared closed so far as evidence was concerned.

Judge Dillon asked if the council had arranged in that manner that the closing arguments should be made. Judge Porter arose and said to the defense he had intended to raise a question of law looking to the direction of a verdict, and asked permission to addres* the court. It was granted. Judge P..rter spoke at considerable length, giving the groundon which he asked the court to direct at this stage of the trial. A verdict of acquittal right of the trial by the jury, he held to be a rij ht guaranted by the con-titution, and one to be upheld with all its force-, aud all ts sanction, in this case. Jud.e Porter said, upon the undisputed facts we submit that there is no question but for the court to acquit the defendant. The evidence was then passed in review very carefully and slowly, and after their review Jud«e Porter said: We now ask for he acquittal of the defendant at the hands of the court. A'ter a brief iuse the court asked the defense it they were prepared to present authorities. Judge Porter replied in the affirmative, aud proceeded to read from the books various cus-a which lie claimed were parallel in this point of law to the ne under consideration.

PLYMOUTH PULPIT.

Continuation of the Advisory Council.

GETTING AT THE TRUE ixvy AT*IJJESS OP TH" CALLJFOlt THE COUNCIL.

A Letter From Bowen a One From Oliver Johnson.

New York, Feb, 17.—When the council reassembled. Dr. Bacon announced that Judge Van Cott wouid apoear before them this evening.

Rev. G. B. Spalding then began fnriher examination of the Plymouth church committee. In answer to the question, flossiter Raymond said tuat Mr. West had asked the church tocali a mutual council, but had never preferred charges against the pastor. In reply to another delegate, Mr. Shearman said tiiey thought that Mrs. Moulton wants the chuich to uet rid of her own case, aud to take up that of the pastor when she had made no definite charge against thp latter.

Dr. Strong, chairman of the committee on the sixth question, asked whether the church designed by that question to open «J1 the questions which might properly come before the council,

Mr. tehearman answered in the affirmative, saying that it was intended to open every case in the history of the church, including the investigation touching the pastor's character in 1874. Beccher had favorad making it as broad as possible so as to inciude this point. Iu reply to a question as to whether Plymouth church would consider it as an act of discourtesy for another church to receive a member who had been dropped, Mr. Beecber said that if proper notice was given to Plymouth church by the examining committee of the church to which the member had applied, reception of the member weuld not be deemed an act of discourtesy, it would be considered an act of disf courtesy only under such circumstances as would make it appear such to the public. A somewhat lengthy discussion followed, on the subject of the Weot case and investigation, which took place in 1874 Judge Wil-on was questioned in regard to the latter, and said that the committee did send for H. C. Bowen through H.B. Clafflin. He was at Woodstock, at the time and couldn't come but sent word that he had nothing to say. In r-eponse to the questions as to whether or not the committee had refused to hear any witnesses, he said, yes they had refused to hear one witness, Mrs. Woodhull.

The report of the conclusions of tbe investigating committee was read by Roswiter W. Es mond which greeted with applause. Shearman and Mr. Beecber replied to the questions touching the letters CJIInecied with the Christian Union, aud in regard to the alleged close jorporau'on which is said to exist in Plymouth church. While on the latter subject Beecher said that .v they were in the kingdom of rr"ney he desired tos'ate that the tr 1 of his case cost him §118,000, ar1 th he did not care about going bio 4I1 many more such trials. H- a »erwards gave along history of th« or» ganization of the church.

Dr. Wlilets asked him whether he knew auything, of his own knowls edse, that would prevent Dr. Storrs, buddington and himself from loving one another, to which be replied that he did not. He could there give them his hand and say, "Letthedead pa«*t, bury its dead."

Mr. Beecher and Mr. Shearman fXplained why it was that they had uot gone out ot their own church for an investigation committee, tbe main int beina that according to congregational usage the church ought to be the proper tribunal.

Mr. Meares referred to an article copied from a Bostrn journal and published in aNew Yoilt morning paper, and referring to it asked Mr. Beecber if he [Mr, Beecher] went to Boston to pack the couucil, and if he had a list of the churches with him when he went there,

Mr. Beecher replied in the negative to tbe first question, and said that be a list of the churches with him, but Mr. Meares ba1 made no addition to it or suggestion in relation to it.

'.w-/v/' ',-

Tbe putting or these questions caused considerable debate, several of the members contending that the council was not the proper place to discuss such matters.

Mr. Meat es asked whether or not there was any EVIL CALLED A CRIME, connected with the case, which the pastor was trying to cover up.

Beecher replied: "No sir, there is not." More discussion followed, and Mr. Beecher related again the story of his going to Boston on account of misrepresentations which were made iu some of the papers there.

Rev. Mr. Fessenden asked the pastor the question: Would you be will, that Dr Storrs might relate the interview he ouce had with you in your house, and would you be willing that both Drs. Storrs and Buddington should give to the pubiic evry thing they know of you?

Storrs objected to the question being answered, and disputed the pro* priety of bringing up any such questions in tbe council.

Dr. Bacon said the question could not be answered unless Drs. Storrs and Bj'.tdington could ^be brought into hear the answer aud reply to it.

This brought oat somewhat length, speech trom Mr. Beecher, who did not think it tair that he should be piaced on the stand and asked such questions, witnouB being allowed to answer them. He said toey were injurinsi him to pave themselves, and protested against such action being taken.

The council soon after adjourned y% hC iSSUai.'V.arfi' ftC-iJU

FRir*lT~3PV EN I NG. FEBRUARY

until 7:30p. m. At the evening session Judse Van Cott addressed the council. He said he desired that there should be some understanding regarding the character in which he appeared there. He was not there from the church of Pilgrims, he was not there as j. representative of Mrs, Moultou nor us a representative of any body else, but as a private gejitleman responding to an invitation. 'He was responsible for himself for whatever he miuht say, and thought itjnecessary to state th above so that Cbere might be no miS' apprehension, In council, inregaidto the matter. Dr. Wolcott here interrupted him and said that it was bpst that the positon of the council should ba understood so that there could be no mis understanding' in regard to that, they desired the gentlemen to ccme before them ia»s the counsel of Mrs. Moulton to givfe his testimony of tbe negotiations between himself, as her representative and the committee of Plymouth church for calling of tbe mutual council^ Judge Van Cott repeated that he was uot appearing as counsel for anyone but as the indi* vidual who had represented Mrs. Moulton. He then went on at great length to relate the negotiations be tween himself arnd the committee in regard to the mutual council. They met January to name the churches and ministers,!'without change, to constitute the ffljuncil, it being expressly understood that each should choose one half*. He suggested that the committee lead off, but with characteristic modesty tbe great committee frorh this great church declined and said he should lead 011. Tne speaker here asked permission to retrace his steps and give the proceedings? of the previous meetings at whfch it was stated by the committee! that no churches should be selected from either of the two cities. This he did not assent to, butmt-eting .Taouary 22d, they each named until they had selected ten churches each and five ministers without charges. He would state here that four of the churches named by him were the church of Pilgrims, Dr. Storrs Clinton avenue church, Dr. Buddington Central and Tabernacle, of New York. He went on at length and detailed the proceedings of tbe meeting of January 7th. at which it was decided to notify, the churches named by each party. He had sent out letters tbe next morning ahd had an answer from the gentleman on the platform, looking at Dr. Bacon, in which he said .he was gratified at knowing which side bad iuvited bim. It having been known that tbe church of Pilgrims, and the Clinton avenue church had ac cepted invitations,' the Plymouth church committee presented a protest against the invitation of these churches. He asked for a copy of the protest, aud while it was being copied, tboi&ht.&e observed, some al* teratious being made. He desired to draw the attention of the..council to Lhe fact that it was a written1" communication to him. In his address, Mr. Shearman had said that it was au oral communication. He should say that it was a copy of the written p„per, while stating proceedings of the meeting held on January lOtb, tor the purpose of completing the list, he read the committee's protest and said, that he had requested them to withdraw it, They did not and presented what was called a counter protest against the four churches named on this Pst, in which he disclaimed any right on the part of the committee to make such protest. On the same evening he received an offer from Plymouth church to withdraw from tne churches named in his protest if be would withdraw the two churches protested against by thim: this he would not accept. He presented Mr. Shearman with these alternatives to adhear to the original list, to waive these churches and select substitutes lor them or to take the ground that plymnutb cburch haviug formally accepted the mutual council and absented to his selection, and made it bis duty to communicate with the selected chuurclies, that this protest subverted tbe principles of a mutual council and practically and in substance defeated what it informaliy had agreed to. He read a note from the church saying that the committee could not change its position and subsequently declined to proceed further, giving Plymouth church in a letter his reasons for so doing. He said in concluding, that he considered it a point of honor for hiin to notify the *burch

the Pilgrims and the Clinton ave* nue cburch, of the protest, inasmuch as he had received an answer from them that they would accept invitations. Several of the delegates then put tbe question at Judge Van Cott, the main point being as to whether the protest of Plymouth church was a verbal or a written one. Rev. Edward Beecher said that hehad spoken

of

the matter but did not- use tbe word protest the statement was made verbally, and not in writing. Judge Van Cott said he would uot question the Tveracity or memory of Dr. Beecher, but though tbe communication was a written one. He had done all within his power, and within his sense of propriety, to secure the xuuutal couucil, he believed on his hem* or as a gentleman, that Mrs. Moultou desired it and that he desired it. The thanks of the couneil were tended to Jndge Van Cott. The Rev. Mr. Dean, of Iudiana, asked whether or not investigation of discipline against the pastor was an act of discipline. Mr. Sherman that it was, Mr. Sturdevant held it was not and Dr. Wood was of the opinion that it was. The discussion was going on ^ben Mr. Bacon suddenly terminated it by announcine that be had a communica tion from H- C. Bowen, the reading of it was objected to, and after considerable discus-ion it was refered to tbe business coni®^^ee' Adjonrbed.

New York, Feb. 17.-The following in a communication of Henry Bowen to the advisory council, presented to that bo-iy to-night:

Brooklyn, February 17.

Brooklyn papers this evening: "Mr. Warren—Did you send for Mr. Bowen?"

Mr. Winslow—Not by any written summons we sent Mr, Clafliu, and theansvver came that he was at Woodstbek, and bad nothing to say not that he did not know anything, but tbat he would notsay anything."

In reply to the above, permit me to say that Twas twice in the city during the sessions of the Plymouth church iuvestigatingcommittee tbat I never was iuvited to be present, nor was any word or intimation given that I was wanted. On the contrary, I was told by one of the commitiee, that I would not be called. I could not have given, if summoned, what I propose to give next week to the examninglcommittee of Plymouth church, my reasons for believing H. W. Beecher guilty of adultery, perjury and hypocrisy. Very respecttully, [Signed,] HENRY C. BOWEX.

A LETTER TO OLIVER JOHNSON. New York, Feb. 18.—A letter from Oliver Johnson to Henry C. Bowen, dated January, 1878, and marked private and confidential, has been made public. The exceitingcause ot writing it was the removal of Theodore Tilton frona the Independent one passage is as follows: You probably know something that I do not of tbe charges against Mr. Tilton but I also know something that you do not of the evidence against Mr. B. and if he denies his guilt in the matter whereof he was .accused in that Christmas day interview at your house. He lies.- Iu the face of evidence that would convict him in the Court of Jus.ice, that evidence I have seen, (ifote the last five words are underlined Mr. Johnson now writes to the public an explanation of tbe private and confidential letter to Bowen, in which he says: I confess, with regret and mortification, that upon purely exparte evidence I then thought that Mr. Beecher was guilty.

I was not then, nor am I now, in possession of any evidence beyond what was disclosed in court and weighed by the jury. My opinion rested solely upon the affimatioa of Mr. Bowen, Mr, Tilton and Mr. Moulton. •New York, Feb. 18.—After religious services this A. M. in the advisory council, deacon Capon, ot Boston, introduced a preamble and resolutions settine forth that in as much as question six, of tbe letter missive, asked them to decide whether there were any reasons why Plymouth Church had

forfeited

it? claim to comtidenee of

fellowship, therefore, Resolved, That this counsel, respectfully request Rev. Richard K. Storrs, D. D., and Rev. Win. Ives Buddington, I). D., to appear before it and state such reasons if there be any.

Tbe Deacon said be did uot see bow del "gates could conscientiously vote on the question withoat firsthavinu heard the statements of the oth'r side. He came.tbe couucil with a determination ro go to the bottom of this thing aud ho did not know how they, could uo home without having done so. He was desirous of getting home »s any body, but. because Plymouth Church had suffered -o much because of its pastor, bad suffered because Shearman had suffered, and because others had suffered, he tbouaht they should stay and investigate matters.

Tbe decision ot this resolation was interrupted by Prof. F. Abbott, who desired to tnake a report of the business committee, on JBowen's l'-tter, received lust evening. He read the com mnnication, and said the committee in the matter of Plymouth Church, have an opportunity to make any further statement in regard to the subject.

Mediator Bacon interrupted the proceedings to refer to a business communication received from Pi of. Smythe, of Andover

Deacon Capon's resolution was laid 011 the table, and that discus&iou of the Bowen matter might be resumed.Sher man made a statement in regard to the communication, referring to words adiilterini pur'ury and bypocriay, and said the Committee dehaanded Bowen to appear before the council. A resolution that Bowen be invited to lay bis reasons before tbe council at once" was sought to bo amended to read tbat Bowen be invited to'appear before tbe council to reconcile the difference between the statements.

A long discussion occurred upon the propriety of the Council summoning Mr. Bowen at all. An attempt was made to lay the whole subject on tbe table, but failed, and finally was disposed oi by the adoption of tbe resolution tbat be be invited to appear before tbe Counsil at half past seven this evening.

After the statement by Mr. Winslow that Rev.-Dr. Storrs had a written re quest'to appear before tbe Investigating Committee, a letter was read from Dr.Storrs stating that he never.had any knowledge iu regard to the matter, tbe discussion of Deacon Cohon's resolution was resumed, and after numer' ous speeches and a failure to lay it on tbe table, it was re'lerred to. the committee on the sixth question, who promptly retired to consider the mat-

Mr. Storrs said he thought the question put by Mr. Gerrinder yesterday should be answered.

Mr. Latter then repeated tbe question tbat bad bten asked yesterday as to tbe pastor's willingness to have tbe interview between himself and* Dr. Storrs made public, and that they should tell all they knew about him 10 the public.

Beecber apparently, impatient to speak, promptly steps to tbe front of tbe platform and said, be would make bis answer first and then any body who wished to supplement tbe questiens could do so. Be said he was glad Gessenden had proposed the question and in answering the first portion of it be would say be knew ot no interview whatever, about wbicb such a question

should be'asked after parting with Dr. Storrs, on tne niac or the silver wed ding in the Plymouth ot church with only one exception. He never bad the pleasure of meeting bim for in two or three weeks after that ibis infamous scandal was promulgated. He maintained for along time absolute silence aud when Dr. Storis addressed a brief note to bim but be did uot respond, on advice of tbe counsel. Ho said nothing and wiO notl.i"g. Ii they would return 10 the interior of the church during 1872 and see the troubles bd was subjected to they would readily unierstatd him when he should say be had no place to go to but bis own home no one except his own lamily. Dr. BuddiiiRton tie bad once met in Dr. Storr's house, since the time mentioned, and they had an Interview about the mat-

ter. He then detailed sn interview at which he was asked to make a general statement. He concluded this portion of his answer by ayain asserting he bad no memory of any interview that occurrcd at his home. between I)r. Storrs and himself. Continuing, Mr. Beecher ccmp»ree himself to a central body, on which all rays of the sun were concentrated, and upon which was being heaped all tbe trouble tbat could be gat bered on the lace of the globe, forty times around.

Mr. Beecner begun bis speech iu an easy manner, but warmiuiz as bo proceeded, be burst forth in all bis native eloquence and soon many of the delegates were in tears. Thomas Sherman and R. N. Raymond who were on the platform, produced their handkerchief. Beecber concluded in these words. If th»-re is any ruan on earth that has anything to say to my detrement, I here now chal lenge him to say it. [Cries of Good, Good, und bear, hear, came up from .various perts of of the church. If there is any angel of God, I challenge him to say augbt against me, aye I go far beyond that .1 challenge the truth from God himself. These words were uttered in a most emphatic and dramatic manner.

The Committee to whom the Capon resolution was referred made a report in form of a resolution that council extend the cordial invitation to Drs. Storis and Beddington to give any facts they may have in their possession, pending the discussion. Recess was taken.

A spectator says tbat Beecher's speech was a thrilling episode, and audience was in tears.
