LOCAL NEWS, THE DIFFICULTY IN THE SBVENTH-STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.—A special meeting of the Presbytery of the Potomac was held last Friday evening, Miy 31, at the 7th-street Pres- byterian Charch, tor the purpose of hearing ail the facts connected with the Page donation to that church, the same huving been referred to the Presbytery for investigation. Rev. G. M. MeCampbell, of Alexandria, was chosen Mmoderétor, and Rev. John Chester appointed clerk. There were present on the part of the Pres- bytery, Rev. Dr, Tostin, Rev. Dr. Chester, Kev W. W. Campbell, Rev. A. A. E. Taylor, Rev W. B. Evans, Rev. T. J. Baird, Rev. W. T. Yan Doren, Rey.G. M. McUampbell, Elders T.H_ Tscbieffely, A. De Peugb, M. Manson, ©. BE. Lathrope, Samuel Kerr, and W. E. Waller. After some discussion as to how the matter should be investigated by the Presbytery, Dr. Baird moved that a committee, to consist of three ministers an@two elders, be appointed to confer with the parties interested and feport at the bext meeting some plan by which the whole matier.could be settled. Mr. Taylor thought this was a very serious cbarge, ana the investigation should be kept under rule and law. He would regret to see this matrer take the shape of a judicial in vesti- gation, and the moral character of these gen. tlemen investigated. But he did not see how the matter could be before the Presbytery in any other way. Dr. Baird Thought these gentlemen, Messrs. Church and Herron, may have acted improp- erly, but with no intention to do wrong. Mr. Taylor said he wanted to get at the truth and justice of the affair, when such words as ‘unmitigated villainy” appeared in the minority report it was certainty a moral question involved. He asked Mr: Fowler if he was ready to submit charges and substanti- ate them. to which Mr. F. replied he was, and had the charges in his pocket. Mr. Taylor then inquired if Messrs. Church and Herron were ready toreply to the charges. Mr. Herron replied they were. Mr. Evans moved that the investigation be commenced Dr. Tustin hoped Mr. Fowler would not for & moment entertain the thourht of entering upon such a course. If there was anyone here who would say that Mr. Page was satis- fied be thought the matter should rest. Mr. Campbell said he had a paper signed by Mr. Pape dedicating this property to the eburch. Mr. Lathrop thought Mr. Page was an old man, and somewhal childish, and different persons might goto him and get different state- ments. Dr. Baird hoped the investigation would rot assume the shepe of a criminal prosecution Until other means had been tried to settle the matter. He hoped the committee would be nF pointed. it was not for them to settle t matter, but only tosay in what form it should come before the Presbytery. The motion of Dr. Baira was adopted, and the Chair appointed as the committee Dr. Baird, Rev. Mr. Taylor, Rev. Mr. Van Do- tren, ©. E. Lathrop, and W. E. Waller, The meeting then adjourned until Monday evening, when the Presbytery met at the same ebureb, for the purpose of hearing the report of the committee appointed at the previous meeting, on the subjectof the two reports of the trustees in relation to the finances—at one of which, thatof the minority, signed by Mr. T. T. Fowier, containing charges against two of the tra ene, (Tl eae. J.H. Herron and. B. Chureh,) Rey.G.W. McOampbell, of Alexan- dria, the moderator, presided, with Rey. John Chester as secretary. This difficulty having become & matter of conversation among resi- dents of South Washington, notwithstanding the excitement attendanton the nightof an election there was a large congregation pres ent. Rey. Dr Baird. from the commit'ee on the Subject, submitted the report, declaring that the matter comes within the powers of tre Presbytery. and that the best interest of re~ Higion ang tbecburech demands an investiga- tion of the two reports; and they recommend that such an investigation be bad by a commit. tee, Who shail take the evidence of witnesses and proseeute the case before the Presbytery— said committee to be composcd of three, one to be appointed by each of the parties signing the report, and one to be appointed by the modera- tor: and that pending tbe examination the par- ies imterested be enjoined not to discuss the questions. Dr. Baird further stated that the purties bad given their consent to this course. Dr. Chester urged that this was nota case for the committee, as it was public, and that that the case should come up before the Pres- bytery to-night. and should be pressed io its conclusion, Rev. Mr. Henderson concurred with Dr. Chester, and further said that he had read a document giving one side of the question, and that it contained imputations on members of the Presbytery, which he was not willing to he under. Dr. Baird urged that the report could not be acted on, and the trial proceeued with as notice Das to be given to the parties, The debate on the questicn of adopting the Tepoit was continued for some time by Messrs. Tustin, Taylor, and Byans, and the report was rejected by Arising you.e et 6 in the affir- mative and 7 in the negative. During the debate, Mr. Evans, in speaking of u publication on the subject of the difficulty as “Dr. Campbell's Weage of Gold,” which brought that gentleman to his teet, denying that he had any connection with the publica- tion referred to. Dr. Tustin offered a resoiution that Mr. Page be invited to sit in the Preaby tery,and to make 4 statement; which was agreed to, but the yote was subsequently reconsidered. Rey. Mr. ‘Layior offered a resolution that as grave charges bad been. made against Messrs ©. B. Church and J.H. Herron by T. T. Few- Jer, and that the latter had expressed his wil- lingness.to Ape yEr and present these charges before the Presbytery, isat the charges be heard. The resointion was adopied. Mr. Fowler remarked that all his witnesses were not present, aud he-was not ready to Proceed with the case as to them, but he was prepared to make the charges. The Moderator announced, under the rules, thatthe Presbytery was ready to sitasa ja- dicial body. Mr. Fowler asked the privilege of prefacing nis charges with a few remarks, which was given. Hesaid thathe deemed it necessary before the investigation was entered npon to disabuse the minds of the members of certain impressions which some have labored indus- tridusly to create, viz: that personal animosity had moved him inthe matter. No statement could be further, from the truth, for these brethren were his personal friends, and were ill sneh. He teJt that they bad done wrong: that they bad dealt a crmel blow to the church of Christ, but whether intentionally or not he would leave for their piety and intelligence to decide. He denied, as had been charged, that envy prompted him. He would not, nor could he enyy them, and there was no eanse for envy, eae: The minority report he wrote entirely trom memory,tor the majority, after requiring him to make a feport, refused to let him have the records. In that report he stated what—were his convictions thin and whst was his belief now ‘and He endorsed that report. He was ready tO prove ayery fact there stated or im- plied. ersonal interest, sympathy, kind- uess clamored for bim to reaiain silent, tucit would, haye been # sacrifice to his man- nood.

Uampbell was the first witness called for the prosecution, and he testified that in August, 1865, he, at the requestof Mr. Page, calted on him. The latter said he wished to do something forsome charitable object, and that he had thought of making a donation to the two orphan atylums. He said he desired to sell bis property and devote certains sums to his family and the Church. When the Church was first sucgested he remarked that he did not know that he bad a single friend in the Chureh. The name of Mr. Herron was suggested as an attorney to take charge of the property, and @ power of attorney was exe- cuted to him. In August, 1966, having heard but little ot the property. he visited Mr. Page athis farm, pear Olid Fislds, and the lacter suggested some change as to: the amounts to be paid to either parties, which wonld still leave something bandsome tor the Church.

The Presbytery reassembled Tuesday even- ing, and after the opening devotional exer- cises the trial was resumed. ; Rey. Dr. Baird, counsel for the prosecution, T.T. Fowler, read a paper signed by the T, asking to withdraw all the charges ex- cepting that portion from the commencement to the end of the second specification. He asked this because his Object was to comserve to the peace of the church; because it would relieve him of enormous labor, and would save the time and patience of the Presbytery. After some debate, as to the right of the prosecutor to withdraw an ortion of the charges. one oi the parties, Mr. Herron, stated that the charges were made against two elders of the church, and they had been published to tbe world. The prosecutor had allowed his speech to be published and circulated through. cut the Synod, and he would submit that after tbese proceedings had been had, that they should not be allowed to withdraw them or any portion without blame being attached to them. Dr. Baird stated, for Mr. Fowler, that he had no hand in the distribution of the speech. The prosecution were allowed to withdraw those portions of the charges and specifications asked for.

He states that the Internal Rev- enue Department has decided that une amount Of all losses sustammed by the taxpayer in 1866 are deductable from income, but in estimating the tess only the original cost, at the greatest. of the property, to the person losing the same, less the amount of imsurance thereon, can be allowed. With reference to losses sustained in spe¢ulations, he saysthe Department bas decided tbat while the law warrants deduc- tions for losses incutred in trade, this spevific provision is heid to exclude losses made im general speculation; and such losses are not allowed. Payments of interest by the income taxpayer are also referred to, and upon this subject the decision bas been that the amount actually paid for interest by any person in connection with the business from which in- come is derived, and which is due to the year of income, is deductable trom income. But his provision would not allow deduction of in- terest simply *+falling due,’ "oreven for im- terest ‘actually paid,’’ except so as such interest was an immediate expense of carrying on the business of che year. Butin respect to interest falling due trom the taxpayer during the year of income—an amount of interest which only nominally falls due—but which, tor any reason, the assessor is of deliberate opinion the taxpayer will never pay, or which he cannot be compelled to pay, should be dis- allowed as an offset against interest accruing to the taxpayer.
