Il SINGLE COPIES ONE CENT. A PASTOR Seca FOR SEDUC- ON. {From the Pittsburg Com. Journal, July $.) In the early part of the month of June, facts were put in our possession tending to prove, al- most beyond a doubt, that a minister of a Cum- berland Presbyterian church of Alleghany city Was guilty of having seduced a young girl from Missouri, who had nm placed under his care by her ts toeducate. We therefore pub- lished the bare fact, leaving out all names. how- ever. A day or twoafter, the Rev. gentleman called upon us and entered into a long and de- tailed statement, endeavoring to establish his innocence of the charge; but as the explanation was not deemed sufficient by us to warrant a contradiction, we declined complying with his request to recall what had been previously stated. Since that time, corroborative testimony of ey has almost daily been pouring in. but we ve refrained from making an expose, or even further mention of the matter; both for the sake of the girl aad her relations, and also the pastor and his congregation, hoping that it would be arranged and justice done without the necessity for such a proceeding. But as the case wiil undergo investigation by the Presbytery of Al- leghany of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, which meets to-day, July 8, at or near Freeport, Armstrong county, for the purpose cf trying their suspected brother, and deciding upon his guilt or innocence. and as affidavits were yesterday made before Alderman Steele, of this city, by the persons who saw the two in the same bed together on board the steamboat Iowa, we feel called upou no longer to shrink from laying before the public the facts in our possession, and the names of all the parties concerned ; and we do so without any comment, although the just sense of indignation which we feel at the recital of such consummate h: ‘pocri- sy, deceitfulness, villany and wrong makes this a rather hard task. The injured girl’s name is Sallie Henderson, aged about 16 years, and her father (J. C. Hen- derson) with the remainder of his family are now residing in Lexington, Missouri, but were formerly of this city. Rev. T. J. Simpson is the minister, and he has been pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian church in Alleghany city for a number of years—in fact he built it up. Healso holds several other responsible po- sitions in the Cumberland Presbyterian church, Mr. S. is considered to be an eloquent preacher and good theologist. but has always borne a reputation for indiscreetness in associating with the ladies, and it is said he promised to marry several of them, but as yet he remains a baghe- lor of some thirty years. _Miss Henderson was placed under his guar- dianship by her parents to educate, he kindly offering to defray the expenses of tuition. She has been attending the Waynesburg (Pa.) Fe- male College a long time, but Mr. Simpson went out to her in the month of May, to go with him to pay a visit to ber relations, as he had to attend the General Assembly at St. Louis, Mo. The gentleman went to Capt. Devenny, of the Aretie, at this port, two days before she was advertised to start out, and represented where he was going. and asked the privilege of eom- ing on board at that time. as staying at the Monongahela House was very expensive. The request was granted. Mr. S. told the clerk to register the name as Rey. Simpson and lady, which was done, and the couple occupied one state room two nights before the boat left the wharf. Before leaving. on some pretence, we forget what, Mr. S. got another state room. and @ young lady quartered with Miss Hender- son, Of course nothing wrong was suspected, as it was believed that they were lawful man ife. At Cincinnati they shipped on an- or a for St. Louis, and we heard no more of until the Rev. Simpson applies at the St. Louis wharf, to Mr. Daniel Moore, clerk of the er lowa, aud engages passage for him- sae Henderson, and Revs. Hudson and aynesburg, to come to this place. ions of Capt. Moore and his broth- er, the first clerk, became aroused by several on the part of Mr. Simpson and his dy. Forinstance, they would be near- ys out of sight, he in her state room or his, except at meal times, and when in abin would carry on very foolishly and eetly. Having been told by the cham- id that Mr. Simpeon had been alone in nderson’s state room several times, the band clerk determined to satisfy them- if any improper connection really ex- istedetween them. Accordingly, the sido i that two little girls, occupying the next m to Miss Henderson's, should be re- He then had a gimlet hole bored in the ithead. by which a view could be obtained of everything in the lady's apartment. Phat night. about te or eleven o'clock, he went into the adjoining room, and on looking through the hole some three or four minutes, was enabled to distinguish. by the light shed frow « lamp burning in the cabin, that two per- us were occupying the lower berth, as three feet were distinctly visible, and also an arm thrown from the far side over the top of the covering, with a gold chain button clasping the wrist. fhe steward then went and informed the captain and clerks and Rey. Hudson of what be bad seen, and all soon became convinced of the truth of the statement by occular demon- stration. Captain Moore then knocked at the state room dvor and demanded admittance. There was no answer for a few moments, when Miss Henderson ered out, “ Yes, captain, I will open the door, if you will wait a moment.” Mr. Stimpson was found lying on the bed with his pantaloons on, and endeavored to make a transparent defence by ple: g that the lady would not allow him to leave her, as she was atraid to — by herself. The captain was in- dignant, and ordered the two to get ready to be put on shore immediately. Howey Rev. Hudson had a conversation with Mr. impson, and afterwards 5 akong upon the captain to take them to Wheeling, whee all four (Kev. Simpson, Miss Henderson, and Revs. Hudson and Miller) left the boat and pursued their way te bedat rosary Female College, where the girl was left, but from which, we believe, she been sinee expelled. To the above statement of things which oo- curred on the Iowa, Captain Moore and his brother, the first clerk, Daniel Moore, together with 0. C. Bunting, the second clerk, and L. F. Oberlin, the steward, have qualified them- Eben VOL. Xx. wig = Star. WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1857. NO. 1,399.
