‘THE CHICAGO DATLY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1874 Deacon Pickett 8sid he agreed with Descon Merrill. 'The Ckair—Do we understand that the Deacons gefuso to regard this_as a mutual Council, upon Yhe basis laid down by Ar. McCarthy ? Deacon Reed gaid it was ovident that Mr. Me- Cartby's friends wented no trial. Tho pastor bad tied up the church with a constitation of Lis own deviing, and now that he found it worked 2gsinst him he songht Lo tie up the Council with snother Coustitution. The thing ought to be Jeft open to the Council, and not tied up in this way. Mr. Biogham here attempted to explain about s resolution introduced at the meoting last Aon- day night, but was called to ordor and choked down peremptoiily. Tho Chair took exception to Ar. MeCarthy's sliusion to Raffersy. ‘Lhis waa not & Criminal Coutt;: it was merely an advisory body- Mr. McCarthy (with grest venemence)—TI'd rather be hanged than suffer what you propose to do with me. Tho Chair (flushed and embarrassed)—Yon don't know what we want to do with you. Mr. Gordon maintained that Mr. McCarthy's plan of trial was_in violation of Baptist usage, though he would, of course, bo permitted to reply in his own behalf. DE. BOONE. Dr. Boone, who had come in sincs in the Council convened, arose and oxpreesed a desiro toeay 8 word or two, though ho owned ho was not a delegate. 1t was moved that the Council constitute him & delegate. Mr. McCarthy Vgomslad egeinst this. He had great respect for Dr. Boono, but ho could not bo made a delegato iv any such way. Dr. Boone pleasantly binted that Mr, McCar- thy would net object if ho knew what he intond- od saying, though ke had no desire to be mado s delegate. Ho was the oldest member of the Beptist Church in_Chicago, and, as ho felt a deep interest in this matter, ho wanted to make gomo retnarks. * Ou motion, Dr. Boone was voted permission tospeak. He said that for filty years ho bad ‘been & member of the Church. He realized the ril in which the Baptist cause stood. and re- grotted the difficulties which existed. The Coun- cil should take a wise and just course in this matier, and mast consider, first, bad the charch taken the course it was its duty to tako beforo calling tho Council; and, second, had they proposed that & mutual council be called ? If both theso courses had beon taken, was pot the nction in calling this ex-parto Council too precipitate to justify an oxpectation ©of sausfactory results? = Tho chorch should first determine whethor tho charges were of suilicient importance to warran placiug the pastor under diciplive, and should Tirst Lrs bhim upon the charge of unchristinn con- duct. If this had been done, and no conclusion had been reached, then a mutual Council should Lo called, and the accused allowed sufficient time in which to prepare his defense. No good could come of convening the Council under the present circumstances. It would only spread the difficulty, and result in greater evil. The greator part of Mr. McCarthy's prepositions were fair, and any C.uncil ought to sgren to them. Soule were objectionuble, but they could be modi- fl:d. The Couneil could be made mutual only Dy satistying the partyaccused; if mot, ot tho Council ‘adjourn, and’ bogin over ggain in the right way. THE REV. MR. WOODRUFF said he knew notlung of the merts of this ques- tion on one eide or the other, nor lad he any ympathy for either side. Ho was -perfectly ‘qualified to serve asa juror. Dr. Boone's re- moarks shouid huve a controlling influence, both because of his age and standing, and by reason of thcir agreemens with common sense and common Baptist usage. Tho Council should ot act until the church bad dome so. The Deacuns had Foubtless been actusted by good motives, but were a little 100 hasty. As Baptists, they shonld Bocool. If tho Council was go ob 28 contom- plated, the Elgin delegation must retire, Deacon Merrill sud they were working under eculiar circumstances, and had been unabla to nng the matter beforo the Church in the usual way. As {o the counter charges proposed by Mr. McCarthy, he submitted thot a man under sharges could not bring charges. THAT CONBTITUTION. Mr. McCarthy 52id he was £o:1y to hear Dea- sons Reed and Merrill retlect upon their own in- wlligence by saying thet he had tied up the Shurch with a constitution, when the fact was ibat the Church had adopted it unanimously be- isuse it was necossary to prevont inundation by ihe Ashland Avenue Church, * As for myself,” soutinued the pastor, *'Ideny that I am under Sirges; I have demanded them, but I couldn’t patthem. Ican and do prefer charges against ho Degcoas. Let them bo tried with mo, aod 1 they aro found guilty let them take the conse- ‘1encas. My brotuer Gordon would deny me tho po-r privilege of a criminal on trial, by ‘denying mo the rizhts I claim. The Deacons have not nctified mo of any charges; -I Dever eaw_sny sl yesiorday at 1 o'clock. ~ The Dencons havo taken tnao judzment on me, and want to decap- e in tiireo hours s man who has broken the broad of life to thom for threa sesrs. I protest Lum a persscuted man. I'm at bay. I'm cor- noredetone mau against 200,000. ~Tho pross, \hio churches, the Deacons. everybody agsinst me 1% Mr, McCarthy spoke theso words in & biga staie of oxcitement, aud in a loud tone of vou0. ir. Thearle called him to order. Thoy had Dot come there to listen to passionato appeals, }r. McCarthy—You must ;bear with mo, for I'm bothered badly. A COMMITTEE TO BE RAISED, " Mr. Thearle moved the adoption of tho fol- low. Liewived, That s committee of five be appointed, to et with the pastor of this Church and the Deacons, » ide upon some agreement by which this can msde a mutual Council. Afr. Burtis said he was not a delegate, but he was & charch-member, and would Jike to say som¢thing, Permission was denied, and Mr. Bu i sat down digcomfited. Mr. McCarthy (to the Chair)—Can I talk? "Tiso Chair—I7 you'll be short. r. McCarthy (firing up)—1¢ T talk ten years, xir, vou should Lear me. 3Mr. Goodspeed here poured oil upon the trouvled water. He said that Mr. McCarthy claimad to be persecuted, and he moved that he Lave fll permission to speak. 3r. McCarthy—No, no! I don't mesn that T sm persecuted by the Council. Brother Good- speed misrepresents me grossly. AMr. Goodspeed—Then Itake it back. I apolo- Rizg for it. - Ar. McCarthy hoped the Council would ad- journ until other Christian means had beon ‘exhausted. Deazon Reed said Mr. McCarthy had claimed that they wero martyrizing him. To ehow that thoy were not, the Deacon started to tell the whole story, but was ahnrpli callod to order by * Mr. Thearle, and squelched by tho Cbair. Afr. Gordon offored the following smendment ¢o Mr. Thoarle’s motion : Resoleed, That a committes of five be appointed to confer with the pastor and Deacons to ascertam if cliarges have been preferred agaiust said pastor, and i, {n'tuefr judgment, this Council is logal according to Beripturo and Baptist usage. . A RUNNING DEBATE. Mr. Goodspeed said it was vain to talkk sbout relairing back to tho chusch. A Christisn min- ister could not be tried by & church. If this were seferred to tho church, they wonid soon Beo—what was now imminent—the destruction of tho Uuion Park Baptist Church. The Chair agreed with this view, and so did M. Lairy., I, Gordon did not see how this could bomade s mutaal Council. Deacon Merrill endesvored to confirm this po- sition, by reading o resolution offered at tho last shurch-meeting, providing for calling & Council. ‘The Chair inquired what was done with that ‘esolution. Dencon Merill, rn great confusion, said it was ~it was—it-~and nearly everybody lsnghed. Mr. Wagner, the clerk, came to the Descon’s tescue, and explained how Brother Bingham's wucndment waa under consideration when the neeung sdjourned. F Mr. Theatlo said it wafovident_that the dis- wection and dissension in the church necessi- sated a Council. BRISG TEARS TO EYES UNUSED TO WEEP. Mr. MeCariby said a church trial was now ut- terly impracticable, but if he had an opportuuity 30 could gettle the whole thing in twenty-four 20urs. He could offer cxplanations which would -driug tears of pity to tho eyes of even the Dea- ing by ontsiders. He furthermore claime r. McCarthy was now ou trial. A g. g_zl)‘rdn?—(nlltthu denics it. . Thearle (contemptously—Didn't you hear the charges read? an't you beliuyfi your own souses ? The Rev. John Gordondeclined to answersuch & question. COMMITTEE OF CONFELENCE. The amendment was lost by a vote of10 for and 14 agaivst, and Mr, Thearle's resolution was adopted. The Charr appointed 2s the Commit- tea of Conference Measrs, Thearle, Gordon, Eberhardt, Goodspeed, and WoodrufT. ' Tho Committee, the Deacons, and tho Rev. Florence retired to the lecture room to see if they could como to an underatanding. None of the Deacons carried canes, and Mr. MoCarthy ?,:: -;;t rd rbeptusauy {emdoun aspect. They appeared about 5 o'cl an pmerly Segareihesy lock, and were absent The good ladies of tho. eh 'he_go adies of tho church (all of them anti-McCarthyites) hed made calcalations upon a long and tedious session, and, realizing that a Baptist with a full stomachié worth & dozen buogry ones in an ex-parts Council, thoy " had laid =& bonntifal repsst in ‘the basement, and to it they invited tho delegates aud roporters. The way the turkey, tongue, and coffeo disnfipexred was terribly suggestive of Mr. McCarthy’s fate in caso the Council sbould conclude to **eat him up.” In tho agreesblo particulars of good-looking ladies aud palatable victuals, the lunch was an un- questioned success. The ‘Clan McCarthy” were_rigorously and pointedly excluded from this feast of the faithful, and, for Iack of any- thing more tangable to masticate, they chewed {he bitter and of discontent up-stairs. Mrs. Dr. Briggs nchieved a triumph. She got Brother Brayman in a corner, where there was no Chairman lo call her to order, and most flu- ently indicated her views to ho Secretary of the Council, greatly to the discomfiture of that con- fossedly prejudiced functionary, and equally to the edification of a group of Mr. McCarthy's fomale sympathizers. Thus passed the long in- torval of the Conmittee’s absouce. BETURN OF THE COMMITTEE. The Committeo appointed to confor with tho the Deacons and pastor returned s 8 o'clock, having boen out noarly five hours. The Rev. -Mr. Woodruff, Chsirman of tho Committeo, reported that inesmuch as thoy found it impossible to accomplish tho_objects gor which they were appointod, they bad there- ore “Rtesolted, 1. That this body sdvise the church to call o Councii to nvestigate the charges which have ‘been preferred befors this body sgainst the Rev. Flor- ence McCarthy, 2. That this Council adjourn for one week, to give this church time to act. 3. That the action of the church, in accordnnce with this navice, sball have the effect of Gissolving this Council, EXPLANATIONS. After the report had beon road, Mr. McCarthy asked tho privilege of explaining why no under- standing could be arrived at, which request was not granted. Tho Secret: of the Committeo was then instructed to make tho explanation. The oxplavations made were as follows, the figures reluting to corresponding clauses in Mr. McCarthy's proposed couditions, given above: 1. Agreed to all around. 2. Altered by the Deacons 8o a8 to make it op- tional with tho Council whether they shall ba Ereuent or not,—in which shape it was refused y Mr. McCarthy. S, 4, 5, and 6. Refected by the Deacons. 7. Modified by the Deacons 80 a8 to debar any member of tho Council from voting on auy chargo when he has been absent in trying one of the specifications. Accepted by Alr. McCarthy. 8 and 9, Rejected by the Deacons. 10. Modified 80 that tho legal counsel of the accused shall be s Baptist in good stantiing. Ac- copted by r. McCarthy. AATTERS NOT DETERMINED UPON. Mr. Thearle stated that the Committee was only advisory. The Council preserved the right to it with open or closed doors, a3 circumstances roquired, because it might become advisablo during the trial to closo the doors. Brother McCarthy had insisted that peither party should bo arraigned until three weeks after the submis- sion of the specifications. 1t was suggested that the pastor “should re- sigm, then thoy would be willing to give him all the time wanted. Tho Rev. Dr. Goodspeed stated that the Dercons were willing to submit the whole mattor to the Council, but Brother MoCarthy would not submit. MR. M'CARTHY OBJECTS. Aftor some further explanation by the Dea~ cons, Mr. McCarthy rose,and stated that he was not willing to give his reputation to_a Council that refused to give him o fair show. Everybody must admit that three weeks was not too much timo to prepare for a trial of such magnitude. The Rev. Dr. Goodspeed said that they should ive the widest possible liberty to Brother Alo- arthy. Ho should not be cut sbort. Thoy did not think threoweeks was too much time. Thoy simply wanted to refer the matter back to tho Council, and if the Conncil thought three weeks was not too much time, they all would be satis- fied. They wero mot regulsr lawyers, and it could not be expected of them to try a case ss it was doue in a regular court pre- sided over by & Judge. They merely wantod to do justice to the best of their ability, But they fonnd their hands tied on account of the stubbornness of Brother McCarthy. The Rev. John Gordon explained why they re- . n4 instead of exciting feelings of vindictive- eLs, Dr. Doono urged that, as at present consti- atad, the verdict of the Council woald be of no fact, evon if they ehould find the pastor guilty. PERFECTLY LEGAL. The Pes. Mr. Waite, whom Doncon Reed had Scen trying for ten minntes to slide in, thoughle 18 nof & delegate, finally succeeded in obtsizing . Tmission to unlooso his oratory. He said he dutranked Dr, Boone by six years. Ho had been 3 Raptis; fifcy-six years, and a minister into the bargain, He never, never, sow 50 much confu- Honin aCouncil before. He coald, however, give positive agsurance that this Council was perfectly inovery respect. in all his experiencs be nover heard of such & thing 8s & mau having the sudacity to stand op and undertake to imposo festrictions upon a Council! _Did Mr. McCarthy beliova the members wero all fools? His pro- kestrictiona ware nothing less than an in- bt thobody, e 1o insisted thare was $00 much talk- fusod to bavo witnesses_sworn. 1t wos against the lawa of thio Baptist Church to swear any wit- nesses not members. THE REPORT ADOPTED, The report was then unanimously adopted. The Chairman, in announciog the vote, stated that by this action the Council stood sdjourned until one weok from date. be |' After adjournment the Chairman announced that tho Rev. Dr. Mitchell would preach in the churcn next Sunday morning and evening. The Rev. Florence McCarthy requests lis friends to be present at the busincss meoting Monday evoning. . THE PEKIN DISTILLERS.

Miserable Condition of the Family and Dreadful Physical Affliction of All the Members Thereof. The Dead Felon to Be Buried To-mOrrow. Tha remains of Christopher Rafforty roached this city from Waukogan on the evening train, nnd were received at the Milwaukee depot by an immense crowd of evident sympathizers, chiefly from the Bridgeport brick-yards. There were, however, no unseemly demonstrations, but there was somo emotion displayed when the old father doscended from the cara end bent above the casket which contained tho body of -his unfortunate son. The cofin was taken from the express—car by six or eight stal- wart men, among whom was Con Tracoy, & saloon-keoper who lives near the residence of the Rafferty family. The Rov. Father Dunne, one of tho attending pricsts, arrived in town on the samo train, Tho caskot was immediately Enccd in & hand- somo hearse, and the frionds of the corpse formed in regular procession around snd aftor it. A coupleof carringes conveyed THE POOR OLD PATHER, and those most noarly connocted with the de- ceased. Tho funoral cortego procoeded to Hal- sted stroet, via Kinzio, and marched south on the latter street to Ulmann, whoeling westward, or, more noarly, northwestward. until the shauty which was once the home of the execated felon —sitnated near Walker's brick-yard, just south of the intersection of = what is called Duuglu pince sud Laurel streot— was roached. Tho crowd, of course, sugmented at every stop, and it was fully 9 o'clock before tho corpso of Christophor Raflorty was deposited in tho miscrable home of his “surviving rela- tives. The shanty is of the ordinary kind seen in the remote regions of the city,—an unpainted, frame structure, with few windows, a medium- sized aparcmont, which apswers the joint pur- Funfl of kitchen, parlor, and sitting-room, with wo or threo small rooms, used a8 sleepiug- places. Tho casket was placed on s deal table, which was covered with a white cloth. Several candloy wero placed around tho head, and, when the up- per portion of tho lid was removed, 7 TILE DEAD PACE OF RA¥PLRTY was exposed to viow, looking whito as marble, without tho remotest ‘spproach to discoloration, and wearing au aspect of tho most perfect tran- quility. The mouth and eyes wero ciosed natur- ally, and, except around tho neck, the skin show- ed no discoloration whatever. Death must have been painless, or noarly so. 1t was a pitiablo sight to look upon that aged father, slmost in socond childhood. gazing stupetied on the features of the dead. The blind mother was_there, too—her sightless eyes con- veying 8o idea of inoxpressible woe, \Worst sight of ol was the semi-demented sister, driven to maduess b{ the dreadful fate of her favorite brother and by the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the family. AN AIR OF UTTER MISERX and unendurable 'E::my seemed to pervade tho surroundings of this houso of death. Ih!!nrt{l's clder brother, John, or ‘‘Jack” as 0 is called, appesred among the crowd of mourp- ers for a brief period, but, as if “unable to cu- dure tho spectacle, rashed from tho room, after gazing at his dead rclative for an agonizing minute. The people, 28 if obeying some natural instinct of delicacy, forebore to_press sround thao cofiin until the immediato relatives of the unfortunate decensed had gratified tneir natural feelings. Then the crowd was formed in line by Con Tracey and others, so that they passcd by the casket and viewed the fea- tnres of the corpse in regular order,—passing in by the front and lesving by tho rear entrance. There must have been from TWO TO THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE sssembled in and around the house at 10 o'clock last niglht. raduaily, however, the num- bers fell off, aud those whose curi- osity was satisfied went to their homes. Tho comparatively few that romnined doported themselves very fairly, and there was, up to midnight, when TnE TRInuNk reporter loft, no signs of disturbance or violence of any kind. Tho Rafforty nonse, although nominally placed at the intersection of a * placo” and a **atreet,” from utter lonecliness by o few buildings of somewhat similar character located very near it. DOWN ON TIE PRESS. Tox TRIBUNE representative conversed with some of the people aroond what, in Irish par- lance, they termed the ‘‘corpse-house,” and learned that their sentimonts toward the press wero anything but philantbropic. Thoy espe- cially execrated tho Fifth avenue organ and a double-headed evening luminary. The produc- tions of both these sheets - were denounced 88 lies, and tho roporters of the samo. should Lher ever visit the brick-yards or Con Tra- coy's saloon, hod botter” first take out a first-class life-insursnce. Tho press in general was spoken of in such severo languago that THE TripusE man thought it prudent to refrain from srowiog any connoction with the knights of tho penci " The statement hitherto mado that Rafferty came to this country when merely an infant is incorroct, Ho was at least 7 yoars old when bis parents emigroted to Americs, and neither they nor auy one in their neighborhcod can tell the EXACT AGE OF THE MURDERERL. The most likely ago is said to bo betweon 27 and 28 yoars. From indications last night it would scom that Rafforty will bo waked again this ovening, and will bo buried in Calvary Cemetory to-morrow afternoon. Judging from the excitement which his execu- tion bas caused in the neighborhood of his former ahode, tho funeral is likely to be one of tho largest ever witnessod in Chicago. The gen- oral expression among the wake people last night was: “Poor Chris! I knew be'd dio *game' anyhow I" CRIME. The Missing Funds of tho Quincy National Banke Special Dispaich to The Chicugo Tribune. : Quixcy, I1L., Feb. 27.—On Thursday the First National Bank of this city received » lottor from aman at Nauvoo, stating that a box contaiving & lot of money and bonds had baen discovored at that place by somo boys who wera digging for rats.

Report of the Railroad Commissioners on His Accounts, He Is Acquitted of Intentional Irregularities. Spectal Dispateh to the Chicago Tribune. S'mxsarm.u, 11, Feb. 27.—Tho report of the Railroad and Warchouse Commissioners in the case of Grain-Inspector Harper, which was sub- mitted to Gov. Beveridge several days ago, and by bim returned to the Commissioners for amendment, was made public to-day. The re- port is to the effect that Mr. Harper borrowed £23,000 to meet the expenscs of his office in the period extend- iog from May 8, 1873, until Bept, 30, 1873. Withont tho lkmowledge of the Inspector, the smounts thus raised, which properly belonged only to Mr. Harper's private accounts, were car- ricd into his official books. In order that the re- coipts should meet the expensesof the offico, the Commissioners, in September, 1873, raised tho feo for the inspection of grain, and since that time there has been constantly a balance in bank to the credit of Mr. Harper. After roview- ing these facts, the report continues : The only items we have found of the character charged are as statod above, While it is evident that they aro not proper or legitimate entrics to be made in Mr. Harpes's official account-books, it is likewiso ap~ parcnt that, {nasmuch as they are’ entered upon both tho debit and credit sides of the cash-account, they do notin any manner injuriously affect tho balinces against Mr, Harper shown by his books. In this con- nection, it is proper to stato that, during all the timo of Mr, Smith’s continuanco in office as his Chief Clerk, o repeatedly sud continnously protested aguinst his ‘mauner of keeping the books ; and we will further add that the books appear o have been kept in an extreme- Iy unartistic manner, showing great carelessness on the part of the bookliceper. THE ALLEGED SPECULATIONS. The charge of speculatiou in grain preferred agalost Mr. Harper by his former chief clerk is dismussed by tho Commissionors with little con- sidoration. ~ His bank sccount on tho last day of each month is oxunmmh and an apparent de- ficit of several thousand doilars noticed in each case. This discrepancy is accounted for by the mistakes of Mr. Smith” in confounding the offi- cial and privato sccounts of Mr. Harper. Ac- counts Yor several months—from Oct. 31, 1873, to Feb. 20—are giveu below : On the 31st of October, 1873, Mr. Harper's cash- book showsa balance in his hands amounting to $14,165.32 ; balance o bis credit on the same dateat the' Cily National Dank, $3,404.67 ; at the Union Na- tional $276.88, Total, '$4,681.55, Deficit, $5,903.77..
