M'CARTHY'S FOLKS, = Rsporter—Hsve you beard how Mr, McCarthy's #ricads regard them T i, Beed—1 saw Drother Burtis, but, althongh T fotnd him 1n 5 very pleasant mood, I did not ask bis opinion a3 tohow lie was pleased with the result. I orinclined to think that he will, in tho course of fimue, be all right with the church, ‘Tportor—WEat o you mean by that? My, Reed—Well, I think he meaus to do about what §s right, though, bechars, 3 little st in his ways. ‘Tieporter—Do you think ho will forsako McCarthy ?

Tk vERDICT, Raporter—When will the Conncil render its verdict? Mr. Beed—That 18 impoesiblo to tell. The Council {5t convened Mondas,may never meet gain; it de- Jends upon the action of tha business meeting Mon- I¥evaning. If it is decided to call a mutual Council, {3 ex-parte Council will not mect aguin, but bo dis walved. THE VARIOUS COTNCILS. ‘Repcrter—What is a *“ mutual Council 27 teed—It is ordered by the chirch, and would eoneitt of the samo churches that were Tepresented last night, aud maybe a few more. Reperter—What differenco s there botween an ex- * perte zad & mutual Council ? Mr. Roed—The ouly difference is, that s mutusl Counci s called by the whole church, and the ex-parts 1y portion of the_church. At thix both sides can make ciarges ; at that, only one can be defendant. Beporter—Would this mutusl Council consider the mme charges 2 3r, Jteed—Yes, ; . Reporter—Its action would be final 7 3ir. Lieed—Tha Council is merely an sdvisory body. Reporter—But tho dismissal or reinstatement of AIr. &lcCarty depends upou their advice 7 Mr, Reed—If tho church call o mutusl Council, it is uppoced that the church will abide by its decision. Tieporter—IT it were adverse in this case the Deacons would sutmit T Ar. Reed—I have no fears about their conclusion being sdverse. ; DEPOSING A MINISTER. Beporter—Are _you obliged to call is Councl in Jrder to depoeo him 7 Mr, Recd——We Lave the power, under our present Constitution, to vote Mr, McCarthy out as straight as tring. Reporter—Why do you not do it? You all seem very xious to got rid of him na speedily a8 poasible, 3r. Rcad—We probably shall do it. RBeporter—When 7 M. Hosd—Just a8 soon 8s wocsn get fo it The Gonstitution prevents us doing_anything for two weeke. A fortnight from next Monday is sbout as So0u a8 we can possibly bring the matter of pastoral relations before a business meeting. IOE CONSTITUTION. Beportar—Why are two weeks necessary 7 Mr. Reed—The Constitution makes it the duty of the church to issue an order, which bas to be read from e pulpit one week prior to the meeting at ‘which pas- foral relations are to be considered. TReporter—I do not mean to guestion your ‘veracity, bot is it not true that the Deacons want to time, so that some of the blacksliders, the men and women who did not attend church on ac- edunt of a dislike to the pastor, can regain their stand- ng and their vote by aitendance. o Mr. Reod—We should have to wait thres months if we wers, Such a course would do us no good. T THE MAJORITT, Reporter—Do you tlunk, from what you have learn- ed rince the vote waa taken on the resolutions request- ing McCarthy to rosign, that you can muster & suffi- c&;flk number of people to outvote his friends the next c. g Mr. Reed—I am eatisfied we can,’ The fact Is Mr. McCarthy's friends have disfranchised themselves,— Jost their votes, Dy sbsenting fhemselves from the church, and following him to billiard Thalls, and other places whero Le has been preaching dm‘in{l the last month ; and by so doing they have given al the power into the hands of his opporenta. Reporter—Will_following their whom thiey consider the head of the them fron: voting 7 Mr, Reell—Yes, They are excluded from voting for tho next three months by the Constitution. If they stay away from the church a month an attendance of three montha is required to regain their standing. Reporter—Then it is all up with McCartby 7 2r, Ttced—Te is obliged to abide by the Constitu- tion of the church, P Ruporter—MzCarthy does not seem to like that Con- stitution sltogetber 7 M. Roed—No. And that remindsme; I wontto explain, Ho bas cast reflections on_ the intelli- gece of the Board of Descons which passed the Constitution. Although I understand its workings, and was the clerk of the church, I @d mot 'vote for it It was adopied imme- diztely after the disrnption in July—when there was 3 split i the business mecting—when harmony prevail- od, and no cne hindered progress, Wehad given Mr. MiCerthy & very handsome reception on his return from his_ fnmmer vacation, and he had stated that if urch—precluds “be ever cexsed to love thosewho befrended him Quring his troubles, he hoped his tongue might cleave o the root of his mouth, and his right hand forget its cunning, = Reporter—He scems to bave forgotten David's thapsody 7 45 A BORDOWER. r, Reed—T think s0. And the veryman to whom Be always vent for money to help him ont of his em- barrassiments was the one on whom ke called down the wrath of God Teporter—YWaa be 1n the habit of borrowing money from him? Mr. Reed—I understood “that ho got advances for the church from him. He was Treasurer of the Board of Truetees, and sdvanced money to McCarthy when he noeded it, . THE JULY sPLIT. Reporter—What occasioned the * gplit” in July? Mr, Recd—Thors had been difficulties existing 1n the church for » long time, 2nd 4n July last a petition was sigued by some of the members requosting the Board of Deacons—not the present oue, but an older Board,— v to resign. Another petition was signed by 3 larger number, requesting the eacons Dnot 10'take any ection, ' The Doard laid both on the table, and eupposed that would be the end of the matter. Dut Mr. McCarthy, at the close of the pruyer- mecting on - the following ~Wednosdsy, read » lofter, or “ Pope's Bull” as it wus called, in which Be atated that ho would not fellowship with Deacons Scribner and Converse and brother Shandrew, uniess {hey repented in dust and ashes, I do not recollect the exact wording, but that was -the sutstance of it. This renewed the dificulty, and the Deacons, with one exception, were united in opposition to McCarthy, and endcavored to get a report before the church, It was headed off, however, by the resolution, which was vot- ed for by pow-holders, who were not members of the church, indorsing McCsrthy, The Tesolution was of- fered in advanco of the report, and was adopted by 3 vote of 127 to 114~ Boon afterwards, 28 fsoon as {hey could sarrange. matters, about 100 of the congregation sent 3 commpnication to tha Boar asking for letters of dismissal, 3 they had decided to organize the Ashiand Avenue Daptiat Charch, All whe were opposed to Mr. McCarihy left,— including somo of the best tuaness men in the city. * Reporier—Vhat objectione had they to him ¥ Ar, Rosd—They wanted “ 7 they said. Ihsd the 2 idea abont matters then that i great many of the mmbers of ttr church now have. I believed that tho Bosrd of Descons Wwas to dic- fale to McCarthy, and that be, being soung, spirited, and intelligent, would not submit. But1om satisfed, 2s {sr 38 tho present s conoerned, It hus over undertaken to dic- 1ato to him, and would not have interfered i2 he had Dot called upon us to settle a diffculty between him 2nd certain member of the church. When be found agreo with him nnd condemn his oppo- Deat, be roshed into the pulpit and conveyed the ides that the Deacons were _persecuting him ; azd subse— guealy, when we brought ihe matter befors e church and -offered 8 resolution aking him to resign, he rushed into prin! Fepestod his former assertlon about persecution, an tho church was quarrelsome and alwayu hiad had that Dame. Under the-Rev, Dr. Taylor, who was pastor far Avs vears, thore was no_quarreling.- Some of the Dembers did not ke his style of preaching, but'they eated no troule, E THE DIFFICOLTT. Beparter—TWhat was the cause of the last difficnlty ? 3r, Beed—He eaid toone of the members of the hurch that » certain individual beld certain rather eterodox and _{mproper ns, This gen- Ueman related the circumstanco to another mem- ber of the church—a young man aboat his gwn 2gn—and the Iatter gathered from the conversation that hess were MeCarthy's views, and, hence, said he could 20t have that respect for him which ho ought to have for » pastor, McCartby heard of ‘this, and went to both of them, and expisined that they wera not his viata bul ths views of alia, The saccad tor—the _one .| l soung man sald thero had evidently been s misun- T i e wonld 13 g altes Ay MeCarthy said he would mot Jet such thing drop ; it bad been spresd around; . und he would go to tho housitop and defy tho devil, He afterwards, however, reasserted what he had said be- fore, adding somothing worse. At the time I was call. ed upon to investigate the slanders, s McCi o and went 1o tlie OUE. Man: w0 e sl Loy reported them to others, and got his account of the matter, and how he had offered to drop tho matter, Ho told me he thought he had w!}‘m h:t:mda thl&::flch deneAUhe, guallfh, do eporter—Was difti e culty the origin of tho pres- Mr, Beed—Yes ; it was the first seed sown.

Mr, Beed—Certaini ok, Beea—Cortainly nol. 1t ho 1s ianoceat, the Reporter—Did you read the criticsm on your other interview, in Tu T ferview, in Tox Tammre o wook or 2 3007 property heiong longing to(he denamination, somo false statements, friends need no explanation of such charges. THE WORST OVE: Roporter—Do you e now ? sleepless nights. 5 Reporter—Tho controvery will end as yon antici- pate, of course ? Mr, Recd—Yes, and harmony will bo restored and the flock attended to as they should be, Wo bave an excellent lot of peoplo in tho church—as good a class a8 can be found anywhere—and I believe we shall, in 8 very short time, bo in working order, and preparod to show that thoy are not quarrclsome, 'but ind-hearted Christians, ready {0 welcome all who may come {o the church to worskip. ‘Tax oTmEE SR, ‘Cimacaco, Fob. 28, 1874, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : 'St ¢ After reading in this morning's lssuo of your paper the proceediogs of the Baptist Council, held in 10 Unfon Vark Church. I am constrained to nsk any candid person, after sceing the spirit cvinced, and the Teatrictions imposed on the Council, if it 18 at all prob- alle that McCarthy can bave o fair, fmpartial triai? Why, sir, to me, an_oulsider, it secms absurd. Mr. McGarthy, in bis propositions for the government of the Gouncil, says that the common Iaw shall be fol- lowed 28 nehrly 1a possible in regard to testimony and Witnesses, and 1hat the witnessea sball be solemnly wworn to tell the truth, Tmindad person object 10 theso rulea ? What say thie Dea- Cona?. Why, they posilively refuseto entertain them, 1If the conditions are not in accordance with Daptist wueage, they are moet certainly in sccordance with Justics the world over, and should govern. Great atress 1a Taid fu the charges upon tho two sermons given ou the 1st 20d 81 of February. Why, all the rouble witls the Deacons originated before these ser- mons were delivered. T one of his sermons, Mr. McCarthy Teferred to {nmnuations aganst the moral character of certain n~ dividuals, and I don't suppose that there was a simgle intolligent member of his congregation but knew who Was hit; proof enough in my mind that tnoy did not oriizinale with the speaker. By all means, jet thero be » mutusl Council, and let tho “suvestigation include the Descons, and a fow otliers not: Deacons, also, for it is evidently much Beoded, and will tend to purify the stmospherd of the Union Park Chureh. “To Mr, McCurthy it is no commonplace matter.

Letter from Mark Sheridan, Ilis Mission to- Springfield and Iis . ‘Resnlt. Copy of Rafferty’s Will. LETTER YROM POLICE COMMISSIONER SHERIDAN, To the Editor of The Chicage Tridune : 9 Sm: 1 am tempted, for the first time in many years, to trespass npon your valuablo space for the purposo of contradicting 3 malicious slander which appeared in the Evemng Journal of Frdsy, ss fol- lowa: : 4 Ever since Policema 0’Meata was shot in the dis- charge of his duty, Mark Sheridan, Polico Commis- sioner, bas cndeavored to hicld Lis murdercr from punishment. Ho hus even been to Springfield to dragoon the Governor into commautstion of Raffer- tys sentence. Officern appointed to execute tho luws, ‘who volunteer to shield those who break them by kill- ing their sworn agents, disgrace themsslves in the eyes of all honorable men.” In relation to the foregoing, I have only to ssy that 1t 18 3 most wnmitigated and malicious falsehood ; and the writar of it knew it 0 be 50, if he was not a verits~ ‘tlo know-nothing, at the timo he wrote it. 8o mueh for the Journal man, whoovor he s 1 Now, Mr. Editor, 1 desire to submit, for sour con- sideration and that of the peoplo of the State of linols, the part I took in the Rafferty affair ; and, in doing 50, 1 will be aa brief a8 possible, a8 tho object I have fn Siew ia simply to stay public judgment until such {ime a8 3 gontlemap, having-the Tequisite legal learn- ing as weil 2a intimate acquaintance with the facts 04 festures of tho Rafferty case, ahall have had sn opportunity to present it in all its’ bearing for public considerution, a5 he has been-requested to do. Y was requested to accompany some gentlsmen to ‘Springfield for the purpose of eoliciting the Governor 1o commute Christopher Raferty’s seutence of death to imprisonment for life. I readily consented, not for 2 moment doubting the Bucee: sful isane of our misklon of mercy, though I must say Iwas told by persons who profeascd to be intimately acquainted with Gov. Bevoridge that I_would find him utterly devold of mercy. Alss! How fallacious my Lopo! how trus their prediction | Finding that the Governor would mot commute, wo Rext besought him to grant arespite of tweuty duys, or of two weeks ot least, that Raflerty's counsel might bave an opportunity to present to ihe Judges of the Supremo Court, respectively, evidenco in the case nover before presented, nnd’ obtained only a fow days preceding tho dato of our visit to the Governor, o strong was tho cae wo submitted to tie Governpr for bis coneideration, that even those who mosJ dreaded his unmerciful disposition antici- patod our success. And how could it be otherwise? T¥as there not presented to His Excellency unquestion- sblo evidence of the fact that witncsses bad been tam- with for purposes of making their evidence Conform to the requirements of the casd? Was thers Dot unquestionable evidence that some of the jurors iad prejudged the cass, and were plodged to the hang- ing of the accuzed ? Sras there not. evidenco that Scanlon snd O'Meara’ were sent out together witn instructions to arrest Raf~ ferty at all hazards? Was there not evidence' that Rafferty’s character was the very reverzo of what it had beon represcnted to be by tho witnesses for the ‘prosecution 7 Was there not much other testimony Trell calculated to challengo tho attention of the Gov- ernor, and arrest the swift vengeance of the law on ita errand of death? Most certainly there was, and, it Daving been presented to His-Excollency, he must surely ceass to be inoxorabla. In vain, in vain, 4 Folier far the gift must be, That opes the gate of Heaven for thee.” Invatn was our good Governor besought—in the name of God, in the uame of justice, in the name of mercy, in the nameof the Siate—to graut even 3 Tespils. At last, all gave up hope but myeelf. How couid I belleve that the obdurscy of tho Governor's Heart would gprove favincible, until I learned Chris- topher Rafferty was dead 7—murdered judicially. ‘am sor7y. the Governor would not “see tho case of Rafferty on Thursday evening as 1 and others gaw it. If o bad, he would likely have granted tho Tespite asked for; but Kaflerty is deadl And 1 now venjuro to predict that, before the thirty dsys of grace asked for but nobgranted ehall have ex- ‘pited, those who clamored loucest for his bicod will, %o thiir sorrow, have learned that jt was thelr de- praved human natures, snd not their cool, dellberato Yense of justice, which prompted them 10 cry out: 4 Crucify him; crucify him.” I nm sorry the delegation thas waitod on His Excel- lency did not succeed n thelr rission of mercy, that onr great Stite might be spared the disgrace of another Judi‘fal murder,—the second in a few months,—because 1 fedd fully satisficd that the lifo of a human being has boen needicasty and perhaps wil/uliy ascrificed 10 pro- moto the ambitious deségns of aspiring politiclans, and ecause 1 fear the judgment of the civilized world will bo that those high in suthority in our State, whoso power for good and evil is 50 grest, aro wholly desti- tats of justice and mercy. ‘Manx SHERIDAN. ‘A& 3 justification—if any were noeded—of my course in'the premises, I could cite the words of Ex-Gov. TPalmer, who opeoly stated that, if though Rafferty bad ot a solitary friend or single application in bis favor e would consider himself justitied in commuting the sentence on the ground that there was »_dissgrecment among the Judges of the Supreme Bonch, The views of #ald ex-Goyernor were ,elso submitted to Gov.

Tho | hotel-mansgers promiso an excollent bill of fare, and tho mombers of the Soclety have arranged & pro- gramme suficiently diversified to be intoresting, and suficiently brief to bo agrocable to the most impatient. Those who wih to hsve Ire— land’s day homored by the traditional mesns | of speech-making and song can have their taste grati- fied ; and thoso who care more for terpuichioreanism tham for literary exercises will not be dissppointed. hie Irixh Literary Association has, overy succceding year, given the bestand the anost reapectablo en‘er- Juiniaents of thcir patiouality ever given in thia or any other city in Amorica, They bava eschewed the Darrowness of sectarian bigotry; have recognized 1ho right 13 well as the daty of Irish men snd women of all creeds to celcbrate the pational anniversary un- resiricied by partyimm, or by pariy ‘predilections, TThey have bionded the Fival colors of the “ Orange’™ 2ud the “Green” into ono harmonious whale, 80 that tho man who revercs the gallant defenders of Derry can drink “ the memory of the_brave” with the man who honors tho equilly brave defenders of Limerick and Athlone. The Irish-American ludies of Chieazo and surrounding places bave always graced tho Irish literary celobrations with thelr preacnco; nor Liaa tho attendance at thess entertainments been excluelvely confined to natives of Ireland or their Qescendants, People “totho manner borz,” mnative ‘Americans, Lisve found unalloyed pleasure in partici- pating in an Irieh celebration at onca so patriotic and %o liberal.

A very esrnest noonday prayer-meeting was held in tho Methodist Church Blook yesterday, The President of the occasion waa Mr. B, F. Jacobs, and there were also present Bishop Cheney, the Rev. Arthur Mitchell, the Rev. Mr. Kittredge, and other divines, The mest— ing was excecdingly interesting throughout, and » perfect unanimity of opinion prevailed until the Bev, | Mr. Kittredgo mounted the rostrum sud delivered | himscit of some utterances which but very few presnt to resssemble for the indorsed and the masjority condemned in the mtrongest terms, After alluding to the fact that he lad stood on the shores of the Ded Ses, and touchivg with dramatic effect upon the disater which therein befell Xing Pharaoh and bis hoste, {he speaker wuddenly launched into & philippic agaiost tho press of this city. The Sundoy parers dirst of all occugied Lis attention, after which ihe daily press were castizated in terms that Florence McCarthy never used in mourning over the ill-treat- ment Lio received from tho journsls, He thonght the dally papers wore the grest difficulty, the great satanie agency, which the religious poriion of the city ought 10 combine againat, and he urged all present to abstuln from advertisivg in the papers. By this means they, deprived of their means of subsistence, wonld fall 10 t1:0 earth, become thiugs of the past,and the course of true religion would fow oo, free, at least, from one grand obatructior, BSince Mr. Kittredge bas ,time znd again notified tho public press of the subjecta of his forthcoming sermons, and requtsted them to notice tho same, tha remarks wera s little surprising. The effect it Had upon the andience was not remark- able. About three old Iadies applauded, some gentlo- ‘men smiled, but the msjority looked upon the speaker with & pitying glance which told how thor- oughly ihey aried with his sentiments. At the conclusion of the prayer-meeting, » cubscription was taken np, having for its object the building of n_temporary meeeting-house for the Young Men's Christtan Association on the site of the old Farwel Hall The handsomo sam of $2,600 was handed in. - CRIZIINATL, < BESTENCE-DAT.

Dr, Henrotin, County Physican, and Dr. N. 8.

John Sothero, whe wasarrested on a of cut- ting John Motz, was tried yesterdsy by Justics Scully. An effort was made to compromise on the basls of 3 225 cash plaster to the broken hesd and bottle of wine to heal ruptured friendship, but fell through before negotistions were concluded. The cuthead was ex- hibited in Court and created intense excitement, snd the Justice fined the prisoner $20and costs, which were puid, and the crowd buried ill-will apainst the Metzites {n » glass of beer at the nearest saloon.
