Swing, do you wish to stato for tho TripuNe anything regarding tho now charge brought against you by Prof. Patton, regarding ‘your statemonts to Laird Collior ? Prof, Bwing—Yos, I will tell you all I knolv about it. The_ohiarge must bave originated in tho fact that Drothor Lanird neked me to join with Dr. Dollows and Tobert Collyer and ‘Mr. Wondte in dedieating his new churoh, and I declined, ond .algo reminded him thot I had dono my sharo of work in Lrimging nbont o kinder fecling and conduut an botween his seot and ming, and that kind words syoken in my own pulpit towards such mon would bo better than prenching in his pul- Dpit, for such prenching would porhiaps annoy my ‘own poople. : The fact that soon after thia dedlcation Lalrd proached a discourso in which he mournod ovor mo a8 bonnd to & Calyanistio corpso, Bhows that Tio did ot inferpret my words rs Indicating that 1 hiad ronched bis lborty. It is possiblo, but nob Probablo, that anything wag eaid above what is statod horo. Teporter—What about Georgo A. Shufeldt ?
