The Matter to Be Examined by the Deacons This Afternoon. And Bo Submitted to the Congrega-. tion in the Evening, Full Statement of Dr. Burrougzhs’ Side of the Case. the Long List of Accusations Against Dr. Everts. e Will Submit His Reply To- Day. The great subject of discussion among Chica~ go Daptists in general, and South Side ones io psrticular, is the controversy between the Rev. Dr. Everts, of the First Church, and ex-Presi- dont Burroughs, of the Chicago University. The «gifficolty is no new one ; it has existed, in a sub- dacd form, for & dozen years, though it has only some to 8 head within & few months snd been srought down to & fine point within a few days. THE RESPONSIBILITY. It is difficnlt to fix the respousilility for this long misanderstanding between these two emi- pent Baptirt leaders. To a cerlain ex- sent, it was ivevifable, and due to the sircamstances of the case. Dr. Burroughs wis in many re:pects unfitted for the position he Lt 50 long held. He was elipshod ic bis way of managing matters, loose, though ‘pever dishouest, in hi> administration of finan- cial affairs. The tone and discipling of the Uni- versity ren down while in s bhands. He had 5ot the gift of management. He allowed him- gclf to be too much occupled with matters of "de- tsil. He is 2 man who has always been too late. Be bas thrown away great opportunities by fatal unreadiness. He was of all men the least fitted to cottrol a University which needed a strict disciplinarian and a close financial mana- gen Oo the other hand, Dr. Everts, while intensely interested in the suc- oes of an undertaking of which he wis one of the promoters. 18 s person who has gometimes more zeal than discrewon, aud who offouds not ko much by what he says as by his manner of sayivg it. He does not always bear inmiud the ookervation of the Apostle to the Geatiles, tLat **All things are lawful for me, but 2ot all things are expedient.” THE FIOST BREACIL . As far back us 1860 Dr. Everts became con- vinced that Dr. Burrougis was not the man for tho placo Lie_beld, and_ consequently he weut dicectly to Liim, and 1 his o.unt and carnest way, informed the Doctor of lus opinfon. Said le. “Doctor Durroughs, you must resign; sou are not the man for the place.” To thus Dr. roughs responded Lie wadready to go when oy other person was elected to fill the vacancy. “Xo," suys Dr. Evelts, * you must go first, aud then we will get 5 man.” Dr. Burronghs was ‘unable to sea the logic of this, He was half couscious that he was not the proper man, sud yet Lo felt that he was better than suvbody they could get. So he beld ob, and, iustead ‘of kKeeping Dr. Everts' advice se- srei, or tryiug td reason with that impetuous 3vite, he went to Lis frieads aud told them 'that Dr. Everts had said to L bo must resign. AMust he go because Dr. Everts said £0? Naurally they replicd. HCeitainly not; let Dr. Everts aiteud; to his own business’; we, the Board of Tiustees, are the persous interested iu this matter, aud we tloue cau diréet your departure.” Aany of the mempers of the Board, though sersonally fiiendly to Dr. Burroughs, felt lis nfitness for the position, but they naturaliy teented auything whict seemed to savor of in- serference from an outsider, and were thus urged nto sapporting the President wih a degrec of Jnergy which would not have oleswise beeu the . "This dissension, thus begun, bas grown bit-' sorer nod bntterer. Dr. Everts' las miwags‘ex- ressed Lis opinions with great frankness, while r.

Thereupon 1 long correspondence ensued, in which Mr. Leander Stono and G. W.

Wheu the Auditing Committee of the Board set to work to audit Dr. Burroughs’ 1ccounts, it was found tuey hud been b0 un- methodically kept thet be could not produce fouchess to represent expenditures to tho mount of §20,000.

He is a thorough bookiceeper and an excellent business man. y DR. EVERTS’ OHARGE. It was alleged by Dr. Everts that there was & deficiency of §20,000, end Dr. Burronghs told the Board of Trustees that they might appoint whom they pleased as a committee, and selcet any one they saw fit to examno tho ac- sounts, if'be were only competent ; that if they found anything charged for which a voucher could not be produced, tho amount could be charged to him persounally. Mr. Lawrence worked slowly and carefully at the booke, and found _everything correct. . He said that, when he entercd upon the investigation, judging from what had been told him, he expected to find everything in contusion, sod no vouchers ; but when he came.to search into the accounts he found vouchers -for eversthiog, and that pothing was unaccounted for; that,whiie tno gystem of Lookkeeping iu use was not to his liking, the accounts were straight. THE RESULT . showed that the University was indebted to Dr. Burroughs to the extent of £7,200. The Com- mittee submitted 1ts report to_the Board, and Ar. Dickerson, who was very bitter against Dr. Burroughs, attacked Lawrence's report, and & wordy encomnter took place. Lawrence said he did not _allow suybody to guestion his bookkeeping, and much choler was shown on both sides.” However, the Board adopted the_report, and peace prevailed for & time. Dr. Everts continued insiouating and repeating his charges—kept up his firivg, bat made very little smoke. « DR, BURROTGHS' RESIGNATION. At a subsequent meoting of tho Trustees, Dr. Burroughs hauded in his resignation, and requested them to accept it if they» waated to. This communication and the subject was canvasced neatly all of one night at Father Jones' houso; sand Everts “caved in;” aud confessed that he was wrong, and cried, and offered bis band to Dr. Burroughs, promising solemuly never to revive the controversy. EVEBTS KEEPS ON. He did not keep Lis promise, but went on throwing out inuuendoesjas before. Quietaess, Loivever, reigned for about two yeais, but tho charges were reiterated all along, and another committee of non-resident trustecs was ap- powted to cxamine the accounts. Dr. Everts inves.igated this one as he did the otber, and Dr. Burroughs demanded it. The Committee made as thorough an exsmination as 1t could,and sustamed Dr. Durroughs, coming to the same conclusion a8 the other Commuttee, and the re- port was adonted by the Board.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of the Board of Trustees passed a resolution scttmg forth that such ‘and such things had Leen caarged agawst Dr. Burroughis and them- selves by Dr. Everts, and that they beliaved the time had come for them to vindicate them- selves. They sent this resolution to the First Clureh, telling them as that Church was interested, and the public generally interested, they deemed 1t their duty to inform them of ‘their intention before proceeding further.

He acts iike an icsune mau—asif he had eseaped from s lunatic asylum, when he talks of Dr. Barroughs; and he bas talked somuch about him, that the poor fellow sctually believes what he says to be true. Many of his friends regard him a5 5 monotnaniac on this subject. The Ubiver- sity to-day owes Dr. Burroughs about £10,000. He handed in his resignation the second time at the anoual meoting in 1872, and it was in the bands of the Trustees umil Dec. 30 last year. They weto looking for s successor oll summer, and corresponded with several persous, but could not tind the man they wanted. TUE BESIGNATION. At the last annua' meeting Dr. Burroughs ad- dressed the Board, saying what was eguivalent to demanding that bis resignation be accepted, aud thev . did accept it, and finally fixed upon the Hon, J. R. Doolittle as President. The article published 1 Tre TRIDUNE about a mouth ago raised Old Hurry among the Baptists bere, and they were swfally mad when the Watchman and Reflector, the Baptist paper in Boston. reprinted it. The fact is, Dr. Everis has done more %amage £o the University than be bas done good. When soy one was dusposed to donate funds. he would go to them and repeat his yarns, and tell thew uot to mive anything. 1f be bad not been in town the Univesity would have been out of debt and in a much more flourishing conditivn than it is now. ONE OF THE TRUSTEES. s The reporter also called on ouc of the Trus- tees for information, and was grected with the remark, **1 will reo you, but I don't want to be interviewed.” After assuring him that his nome would not be used if he talzed, he con- sented to **say a httle,” and sisted that last Friday the Board appointeda committee to reply to the slandetous and prejudictal articles tuut Dbad been published i the newspapers, to report the reply for approval and publication, that the charges might be answered and disproved, aud the matter finally disposed of. * Reporter—Who are the Committee 7 Mr. Blavk—L. D. Boone is Cuairman, and Dr. Smich and Samuel Hourd are the othens. THE_REPONT. R.—Are they uregnriug the report ? MMr. Biank—Yes, but it will not e ready for publication for ome time. At this same meet- tog, the Board dirccted the Chairmun aud Direc- toty noufy tho oflicers of the First Church that they felt it to be their duty to take such steps as might be necessary to vindicate themselves aad Dr. Burroughs ; that they bheld Dr. Everts re- sponsible for tho elanderous charges, THE CHARGES. R —What were the charges he made—that there was a efalcation, and that the[Board were endeavoring to cover it up? Mr. Blank—Tbhe resolution was broad enough to cover all tisat has veen published for the last year—that isof s prejudicial character—more particularly_the article’ published in Tas TR~ UNE on the 7th of Scptember. y 1.—Have you prepaied any specific charges againet Dr. Everts yec? © = Mr. Blank—No. We_have nothing to do with Bim orhis charch. The object in giving the notice to the deacons was really to prevent doing the only thing it was said he was going to do— ventilace himwelf before his congregation last Sunday, acd it bad the efTect intended. WHAT 18 PROPOSED. » R.—How long a time will- the Committee re- uire to muke up the report ? . Mr, Blank—That i8 o ditlicult question to an- awer. Partof the records—tha reeords of the Executive Board—were destroyed by tae great fire. The recoids of the General Board were nat 3 but we do not knew in which of the records the particalar things a1e we want to find. If we canuot find them in tha records we have, we will have to depend on individusl recollection, and much time will be required in order to get up a satiefactory report. R.—When iiri)n completed you will have a meet- ing? “ Mr. Blank—Yes, and it will bo presented to the full Board, and after they Lave: adopted it, it 38 to be pubjished m all fhe city papers; st least that was contemplated. A CIVIL SUIT. R.—If vou find the charges to be false, do you purpose suing Dr. Everts tor defamation ? Mr. Blank—The Boara will not sue lim. Bat what Dr. Barronghs may do is ancther thing. R.—Have anv persous urged him to bring the matter before the courts? = Mr. Blank—Yes; many have talked to him about it, and several lawyers bed offered him their services without charge, aud urged him to proseoute Dr. Evertd. CAN A DOARD BE BLANDERED. R.—Has pot Dr, Everts "also slandered the “Board, ss you allege? e Mr. Dlank—Yes, but the question is, whether a Board can be slandered. It is 8 legal question whecher the Board of ]iiredcton of such an io- itution is subject to slandar. ml‘l‘.‘—Cnnnut. an individual member of the te nm ? B‘;‘lf Blank—I do not know whether he can or not. It is not necessary to do so.

LET IT BEST. HMr. Blank—As the matter now stands, thebet- ter way would be to lec it rest. It would not be proper to enter into it in anticipation of the re- pori of the Committee. At the proper time, 1f matters are not £o settled as to render anything further on the subject unnecessary, 1 would be Lappy to giant you o fuli interview. 1t.—What do you think of the coutroversy? AIr. Blank—This case has been a perfectly ove- ided one bo far. Thera never was a case in the world where a bad men has 8o persistently uu- der:aken to follow up a good man. R.—Whet gronnd have you for stating that? Mr. Blank—Well, that opens up the whole uestion, and [ do not wantto go into tho etails. I simply state that as » mattér of opinion. . : BWALLOWIXG A CHURCH. R—What do you think of Dr. Everts’ state- meuts, published in the Times of yesterday ? Mr. Blank—Well, nearly everything bo said grew out of the church difticulty—when ho un- lertook to wwallow the church whole, and Dr. Burroughs, out of consiceration for bim, pre- vented it ; and be bas never forgiven Dr. Bur- roughs for doing it. { do not thiok Charley Reed gaid what ix attributed to him. e wanted the measure carried through, and. if the First Church was brought down there to have a fino larga churzh bwilt near the Uaiversity for the benefit of the neighborhood. He is hot- tlooded, and very likely may have made some such remark, or saxd something which he would Dhave been unwilling to have quoted a year after- wards, Dr. Everts also stated that Prof. Baw- ver called Dr. Burroughs a liar ou the streets. would venture my hesd for a foot-ball that that is a_lie »and that Prof. Sawyer never told [Everts auny such thing.

THE DISCOVERY. R.—How did you find out Dr. Evorts was the author of the slanders ? i r. Dlank—Well, wo bad "suepected it for a long time, but tbo first oflicial iuformation we bad of it .was the other day. The arti- clo publiched in Tug TrrBoxe in September was copied by the Watchman and Rejlector, of Boston, 2nd the Baptists out here complained of it, and tbe editor wrote that he had inserted ivat'thorequest of Dr. Everts. Aod besides Dr. Everts or some one seut & Copy of Tae Tnmuse to the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company, which losned the University some money, kuowing it woald make them feel anxious abeut thoir securities. It was & mean thing to do. Tais aud the publica- tion of that article fastened tho slanders on him, aud the end is not vet. 1t is understood that Dr. Everts will make a statement of facts to his Deacons, and ai¥o to the congregation this evemuog. Hehua been collect- ing information for some timo past, and pur- poses giving proof to support his assertions aud to vindicate himsclf from the charges made by the Trustecs. He is confident that justica 1s on bis eide, and is fully propared to meot the issue. AMUSEMENTS.

THE COURTS. Axnother Corporation Fighting Its Taxes. A Case of Rather Excessive Interest-- Criminal Matters---New Sui ANOTTIER ATTACK ON TIE STATZ BOARD. The North Chicago Rolling Mills filedabill yes- terday in the Circuit Court against Lawrence O'Brien, Collector of Weat Chicago. Complsin- ant states that it was organized under a special charter in 1869, with a capital of $1,000,000, and liberty to increase tho same to £3,000,u00. It was afterward increased to 2,340,913, The As- gessor of the Town of West Chieago in May, 1873, nssessed the pereonal property at $100,000 and the real property at $286,610.09. The County Board of Equalization raised this valuation on the rosl estate 6 per cent, making the amount $251,806.69, which was a just valuation. The propertyabove mentioned is all that the Company owns, except abont £2 000 worth in South Chicago. Tuis is all, moreover, that can be taxed, except s tax on the Corporation a8 such by reagon of its exer- cise of corporate franchise, which, bowever, can only be imposed by the Legislature. and not by valgation. Tais corporate iranchiso, it is claimed, has Do pecuniary value, being only a mero right to smelt, roll, or otherwise work iron, commou to all citizens of this State. ‘Ihe capital stock has uo valus bxcept that Berived from the real and personal propercy of tbe Company. which had already been taxed. Tho State Board of Equalization assessed £528,610 against the capital stock, adopuing their usual rale of pro- ceduro. ‘Tho stock is held by various parties in and out of the State. who all pay taxon their various shares. The pérsonal property was raised 68 per cent or to $163,000, and the real proport to §505,310.97. Tho' taxable property of the State was increased ove rl per cent bythe State Board. The Board cannot, it is claimed, assess anything agamnst the capital stock and francaise, sud tho action of the Board i8 10 vio- lation of the act under which that Board pro- Iesgea to wark. * The unconstituttonality of the Btate Board and its rules are also urged. It is also claimed that the State Board, coutrary to iaw, omitied to usncss the stock snd franclhise of many other joint stock corporations. The “grablaw” is alo attacked, out no New points are raisud. An injunction is ssked as 1 all the other bills of tho kind, which was granted under a bond for £15,000, until the 2d of February, to give com- plainant tume to move for the usual temporary mjunction after notice to the dofendant.

Complainunt allegos that b has offered to pay the 1,100 with 1uterest_and costs, but Allen claimy'that he must pay $1,430 or the premises will be sold. and Lo therafore asks an injunction and av account, and for permission toredeem on pavment of $1,100 and jutercst. The injunction was granted on filing & bond iu the sum of $300. BILL TO FOKECLOSE. Tufus E. Holmes and George Saville filed a bili against Pierson D. Smith. Compleinants stato that one Villiam R. Smith, now deceased, made, in 1860, to Holmes, tweuty coupon bouds of 21,000 each, tor the payment of $20,000, each bond having ten interest coupous, for the sum of £50 each, attached. A trust deed on Lots 1, 2, and 8, of Lot 5, Block 43, of the origival Tosn of Chicago, was also given. Willam k. Smith died in October, 1870, Complainants allege that tho lnst interest and coupon note are unpaid: that by reason of the destruction of the old Court-House, and the erection of zaother, a doubt exists 28 to where trustes ought to sell ; that the premises are scant security for the loan, but Holmes 1s willing to take the premises in poyment under s strict foreclusure, and they \would tberefore ask an account and foreclosure, and that the place of sale under the trus. deed may be fefined.

He was al- lowed to get alsard and belp propel tae concern unril within three mtles of Lisdestination, when the mcn of the car stopped and positively refus- ed to go further. He then bired a mule of a farmer. There was no saddlo in the stablo which he would allow to go with tho beast, and thigrefore the young man was compelled to go it bareback.

THE HOT-SPRINGS STAGE-ROBBERY. ‘The Featy of Dick Turpin B One of the Most Daring & Robberies Ever Commuticd. From the Lttle Lok (Ark.) Gazette. From Mr. G. R. Crump, a representative of the wholesale tobacco and cigar houso of Edumonds, Pettigrew & Co. of Memphis, who arrived from Hot Sprivgs last night, aud who was on Thurs- day's stage, going 10 the Spriugs, at the time of tho robbery referred toin Friday's Gazelle, we learn the paiticulacs of the affair. There was oue stage and two light road-wagons, or ambu- lances, the stage beivgin fronc and theother two vehicles immediately in the rear. At the Guines place, five miles this side of Hot Springs, too stages wero stopped to water the stock. Whilo watering, five men rode up, comiug from toward Hot Springs, and passed on'by. Each man wore a heavy blue army over- coat, but none of them wers musked. Noth- ing was thought of the matter, and thae vehicles moved op, After golg sbouf half & mile, the men who had passed them at the Gaines place 10do up from bebind, aud the first thing that Mr. Crump—who was in the front stage—heard Swas au order to the driver to stop, or his hesd wonld be blown off. The stage was stopped, l.and on throwing up the curtain he saw & pistel pounted at Lim und others n the stage, tellin:; them to get out quicz, accompaaiocd by an o: They got out, and, as they did so, were ordered to throw up their hands. Threo men were in front of tnem with cocked pistols and another with & shol-gun, whilo on the other side of the stage was still another,—=a!l pointing their weap- ous toward the paseengers aud the driver. After gelting the passengens ont, tuey made them form ina kind of circle, eo tast all'of them could be covered by the pistols and gun. The leader then “yent through” each passenger, taking all the watches, jewelry, and movey that conid couven- jeutly he found that wers of special value. From_ex-Gov. Burbauk, of Dakota, tiey ob- tained "§840 in money, a diamond pin, and gold wateh. A gentleman pamed Taylor, from Low- oll, Masg., weutup for 3630 iu mobey. A pas- senger from Syracueo, N. Y., gave up his lost nickel, $160. Mr. Johony Dietrich, our boot aud shoe merchant, lost 5 in money sud a fine gold watch. He had 50 beside this in the watch- pecter of his pants that they d:d notfind. Mr. harley Moore, ot tie ice-house, gaveup 370 1 ‘money aud hus silver wateh, but taey returned the latter, stating they did not wani silver watches. A Mr. Peoples, who resides near Hot Hot Springs, lost $20. Thres countrymen Jost about &15. The express package. coutain- ing about 5450, was also taken. lr. Cramp had his watch aud about £40 to 345 in money gobbled. After getting through wvith the pas- sengors, they tore open several mail sacks in soarch of registered leiters, but dié not get acy. While the main perty was engagec 1u this work, scother took out the best horse in the coach, saddied him, Tode up and down tho rosd about fifty yards two or three times, and remurked that ** hie would do.” After all thie,sthe “ Captain” went to each pussenger in tura and questioned him 83 to woere he was from, avd ivquirel if there were any Southern men along. Mr. Crump spoke up, as did one or two otiers, that they were Soutbern men. ‘Yhey then asked if there wero any who had served i the Coufederate army during the war, Alr. Crump susweres that hedid. ‘They questioned bim as to what com- mand, and remarking that ho loked like an hionest fellow, oo wiio vz telling tho truth, handed Lim back his wa.{a and money. sayiug they did not want to rob Coufecerate roldiers, that the Northern men had drivea tuem into out- lawry, and they nteaded to mais thom paf for it. Coming to Mr. Taylor, of Lovell, they asked where ha was from. * St. Louix,"” he responded. Tho * Captuin” eycd him clcsely. “Tes, and you are & newspaper reporter for tue St. Lous Democrat, the vilest paver in the West. Go to Hot, Springs and send the Democral o telegram sbout this affair, and give them my compli- menta.” N % Gov. Burbank asked them :o return his pa- pers, saying they could be of pobenetit to them. The ** Captain? squatied down on his knees and commenced examining them. Turmag round to his followers he said, * Buys, I balieve heisa detective—shoot him!" and forthwith e was covered withthreo pistols. ** Stop,” sad the chief, lookmg further, “I guess iv's all right,” and handed the Governor lus papers. Coming to the gentleman from Syracuss, N. Y., who was going to tho Springs for s health, bo asked them to give him back §5 so thut ne could telegiaph home. Lyemg Lim closeiy, the chief responded that if ke had no friends or money he had better go and _die—that ho, would be littio loss any way. ‘The fellow with the shot- gun kept pointing it at the St Louis Democrat man, as they termed him, makingsuch cheerful remarks as these: “ I'll bet I can shoot his hat off without touching o Lair of hishead.” All of them segmed to be jolly fellowe, and en- joyed the fun very much. Nouo of thn passerr- gers were_armed, and, as Mr. Crump expressed 1t, & they had the drop on them.” Obe passen- ger with rheumatism, so badly sfflicted that he could not get out of the coach, they did not touch, refusing to take auyching he had. Tho affair pecurred about helf-past 3 o'clock Thursday evoning, on tho mam road to Hot Springs. From the talk of the “ Captain, " it 18 thought they are from Missouri. They took breakfast on the road between Malvern snd Hot Springs, Fridey ; and, from the description, it is thought the chief is a celebrated Missouri brig- and ' (whose name we now forget), who hasbeen outlawed by the authoritics of that State, and for whom there is a standing reward of £10.000. It may be the eame party sho rode into Cape Girardesu last spring, sbout 9 o'clock in the worning, and debiberately walked into a bauk, pulled o pistol on the Cashier, and robbed the institution of several thousand dollars, and then deliberatoly rode out of town beloie the people knew what was going on. They were o heavily armed that Mr. Crump described them as walk- g armories. . — Who's Who?

From the san Diego (Cal.) Worid. Wo were vesterazy put into possession of the details of tise death of a Chinaman on the Coron- ades, day before yes:erday, that eclipse in horror the death scene described by Vietor Hugo in his “ Touers of the Sea,” in which a devil-fish is in- troduced with graphic power. Our readors know tbat the abalone meat is a prized delicacy of the Chinaman, and that the shell of the abalone, when properly polished, is one of the most fan- ciful and beautiful things in nature. The aba- lones are generaliy sought lower down the coast, bus are also found in tne neighborhood of Sen Diezo. Day Lefore yesterday Fang Chon, & professional” fisbermsn, residing near Rose- ville, kuown among Amencans by the nickname of * Chowder,” started out to the Corouades in his boat to hunt for abalones. Of coutse, bis movements can only be surmsed by the event. The supposition is that he moored his boat and began his quest.
