Deduct the $15,000 for incumbrances, would leave $27,000; £4,000 given to the church, and there still remained $23,000. The next reason they assigned was that they tried everywhere to obtain money for the church, and were driven to the wall, and had to assume such a hazardous responsibility on This statement also was false,as Mr. Church was offered money, but refused it. The money could have been raised in twenty-four hours. These men were ap- pointed by Mr. Campbell to take charge of the property, but taey did not report te him one werd, only as he could extort from them by close questioning.

They made Mr. Page believe that this wholesquare of ground, worth over $40,000, was irredeemably swamped, with only $9,000 of executions against it. In conciusion, Mr. Fowler moved that the report of the board of trustees be commitied to the committee, empowering them to take charge of all books and papers belonging to the board, and send for persons and papers, that all the circumstances and facts rejattog to the donation of Mr. George Page to the church may be investigated. Mr Herron read the reply of himself and Mr. Church, and stated there was not a fact in the paper read by the gentleman, (Mr. Fowler.) only his opinions. read the power of attorney given to him by Mr. Geo. Page, authorizing him toseil all of Page's property, and after paying ali just debts retain $10,000 tor his (Page's) own use and benetit, and invest the remainder in U.S stocks, the interest to go to the Presbyterian Church. He next read the report he made to the board of trustees in January last. the Ist of August, 1565, Rev. W. W. Campbell, pastor, the report says, had several interviews with Capt. Page, who stated he was anxions te settle his business, make 4 donation to some beneyolent object or institution and buy a farm, so that he might have nothing to vex and perplex him the remainder of his days. He consented to make the donation to the Seventh Presbyterian Church. and Gapt. P. sent for him (Mr. Herron) on the 15th of Au- gust, and requested him to undertake the busi- ness for him, which he finally consented to do. Capt. P. had D.D Foley, Esq., empioyed as bis attorney for several years. He (Mr. Herron) had a deed of assignment prepared, inclp“ing his whole interest in square 467, ssid -ment to be made for the benefit of nis creditors, himself and the Seventh Street Pres- jan Church; but Mr. Foley objected to leed, and persuaded the Captain to ex- ecute a power of attorney. To this he (Mr. H.) consented, thinking that Mr. Foley, a ractising d@wyer, should know better how usinees should be done, but he Bas since changed his opinion.

These prices were brought to ® great extent by the presence and bidding of Mr. C. B.

Mr. Herron then read the will ot Wm. Page, Gated June, 1866. bequeaihing to the church $5,000. He next read a leiter from Mr. Page, deted April 22d, 1867, addressed to the Board of Trustees, justifying Mesers. Charch and Herron in the course pursued by them. Mr. Herron then read the answer of himself and Mr. Cburch to the charges of Mr. Fowler, stating certain persons in the congregation had used expressions which were caiculated to in- duce the membersof the church» to believe that ©. B. Charch and J. H. Herron had been or might be guilty of immorality or fraud in purchasing square 467, of Captain George Page. By agreement of all concerned, an investigation was held on the 2th of March, before the Session ['rustees, Rev. Dr. Gurley, Rev. Dr. Chester.and Rey. A.A. E. Taylor, and they made a unanimous report, fully vindicating Messrs. Ohurch and Herrya jpbes report was read by Mr. Herron.) Abeu'! wo weeks from this time a pamphiet, eptitied “The Wedge of Gold,” was published. and on the 14th of April, they (Messrs. Church and Herron) replied ‘o the same, and requested the pastor,(Mr. Campbell.) to read the same from the pulpit, but he refused. On thesame day a member of the session left a notice on the pulpit, callig a meeting of the session after service, but it was not read. (Mr. Camp- bell here stated the notice was not signed, and it was not the custem to read notices haying no sigmature.] After service, five members of the session remained, and requested a meet- ing, but the moderator refused to moderate the same. Fnally, it was agreed that a meet- ing should be held on Wednesday. March 27th, with Rev. P. D.Guriey as moderator, but said meeting did not take place on account of the sickness of Dr.Guriey. A meeting was held at the house of the pastoron the evening of March 27, and Elder Davidson offered a reso Tatton calling for a congregational meeting on Monday, the 29th of April, for the purpose of hearing all the facts in relation to Capt. Geo. Page’s donation to the charck, and re- qpentae the pastor to read resolution from the pulpit, but the moderator refused to entertain the resolution, and Elder Herron appealed from his decision. The appeal was sustained and the resoiu:ion passed, but the moderator did not read the resolution next morning trom the pulpit. In conclusion, Mr Herron said he and Mr. Church had made every effort to have this matter investigated, and were ready now to de so, and answer any charges that any one had to make. They de- ™anded that any facts in possession of the pastor or any member of the congregation be produced immediately, that they might have an opportunity of proving their integrity, and showing to the congregation that the charges were malicious falsehoods. After some farther debate, a motion was adopted referring the whole matter to the Presbytery of the Potomac, and a session of the Presbytery be cailed to meet in that church.
