The girl whose young Jile has been vighted by the teuch Oi theseducer, as tie tender rosevud by the early frost, Was a bupli of the Western Female High School, the daughier o1 a iagy well known to many of the people er Baiumore as alaay of culture and re+ finement, She was a Jair scholar, stood well in her classes, and up to the day of the melancholy discovery there never was any tuing in her coaduct that excited Une Jeast suspicion ou Lie part of her companions or her seachers, A preity face and a Weil-roundea form are precions gilts, but Sometumes they expose the possessor to pers from which those less favored eexempt. The “evil eye” had gazed on this buds ding beauty, put the charm of modesty, and atleast MWe embiem Of Innocence, sull remained, There Is no truth i the story which bas been published to the effect that suspicion was first aroused by the finding of an improper note in her desk. ‘Two weeks since one of the wssistant teachers at the High School toid the principal wat a rumor had come to her ears seriously affecting the reputation of tls Unhappy girl. ‘The principal was much perpiexea as to What course he should pursue, He Was desir- us of avoiding the scaadat Which any Investigation Would creale, and yet he thougnt tat the gir! ought not to remain m_ the school iM =the ramor was true, On the following @ note was placed in the Principal by a young man to whom it nad been ad- Greased. ‘There was noving paruculariy improper ™ the language used i tne note, put there seemed ‘to be an undercurrent of 1nuuendo that was suspi- cious. The name of the younz man 1s not known except to the party to Whoin he delivered the Il- red missive. ‘fhe principal determ ned to show ‘the note to the giri’s lmother aud to ask her to withdraw her daughter from the school quietly, 80 as to prevent tne necessity of any action on his , part. nen the daughter was brought before her {| mother to explain the language of the note she had ‘writterl she made the confession which has driven the Kev. Dr. Huston in disgrace froim his church and froin his adopted city, Up to this ume there had beep no menuon of his name—tne iaquiry started at the High School had no retauon to him— and nnul the poor girl told her sorrowiut story to her mother there had not been a suggestion that Jmplicated miu in the ieasi. A MYSTERIOUS REQUEST. The dayaiter the mother had becn made ac- quainted with We daughter's dishonor a note fell into ber hands which was not directed to her. It contaimed a request for the daugnter to meet the writer on Une corner of Lexington and Cary wreets, al a certain hour in ube evening. It was dated at No.— German street, and the @aughter denied all Knowledge of the party whose Mawe Was signed to it, It is quite propabie this note ‘Wasa blind, and that the naine signed to 1t was fictitious. ‘ine reverend seducer may have heard a whieper of impeuding danger, and invented tis ruse 10 order to cbtain an interview. Overpowered by griel, and perplexed by this mysterious letter, the mother naturally sought advice trom her pastor, the Rey. Wiliam Munsey, and irom tne disclosures made to him the investigation sprung which has given publicity wo we Whule affair, aud excited a storm of indignation which the Key. Dr, Huston did wor dare to tace. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MOTHER. We yesterday had prolonged interview with the mother ol that one of tue chidren whose name has een Most promincenuy counected with this terrivle affair, We iound her overwhelmed with griei, and while relating ‘wrong was at times scarcely abie to articulate. It appears that avout tour years since she at- tached herself wo Dr. Huston’s cuurch, and at bis request sent her two daughters vo the Sabbath scnool. Very soon alter that tue Doctor either con- ceived or prevended to conceive a great liking for the younger of the two, and urged the motner to allow him, as the Cnild Was fatheriess, to perform a father’s ducy toward her and atd 10 her Instruc- tion and morai and reilgioue training. From that ume during the iour years that have since tran- spired scarcely a day has elapsed that the child did not spend some ime in bis company, and on some days he would cali at her house four or five times, nominally as he said to kiss her sick sister, but really to fasten bis meshes more securely around bis fatberiess Vic), Tne mover at the same ume feeling ail tne devotion and attachment to her pas- tor which were so wuiversal in Dr. Huston’s con- gregation, thought ber daughter always safe when sue Was With bum, ind returned thanks to God that such a shieid had been voucusaied for her vrotec- tien. As time moved on aud her child approacaed Womanhood the attentions af the Doctor became more constant and prolonged, he irequently calling for her to walk with him or to go to certain places, always with the cansof hypocrisy on his lips and lust Derngag in his heart. She appeared to care for the compaay of no one cise, and showed an attach- Ment end affection jor Him such as 1s sometimes @eveloped ey a child tor a father, THE CHARACTER OF 938 VICTIM.

SENTIMENT OF HIS CHURCH. The Rey, Dr. Munsey, in his sermon yesterday at Central Church, while not alluding directly to this terrible affair, left nd room in the minds of bis hearers to doubt that his whole discourse was bared apon it It was the children of St. Paul’s church that lad been corrupted LP Biaeed villain, and iL was he who, after listening to his protestations of inno- cence, with his hand upon the Bible, charged home to nim his guilt and ordered Dr. Huston to yield up his license and fy from the wrath wihitcn bis con- anct has awakened. Those wno listened to him were under no uncertainty as to his con- viction of ihe guilt of the accused, His language Was emphatic and strong against those who play the hyoocrite and use the livery of Christ to serve the devil and minister to their own pas- sions, Many of nis hearers, who knew and loved the bloommg innocents who had been crushed and corrupted, wept and refused to be comforted. ‘Truly may it be said that tals man, Who had been almost worshipped by his people, nus lett behind no Imend to defend him, Nearly every one who had known him now has some incident to relate which caused doubis in their minds as to his sincerity and piety, and many statements are made as to his unchaste actions to- wards young girls, Woo insunctively shunned him on that ‘account, LOVE FOR CHILDREN. Most persons have some respect for a man who loves children,.aud it is probable that the fondness which Dr. Huston showed for littie giris often raised him In the esteem of their parents, Little did they dream that it was @ lecherous mania that was taking on the semblance oi fatherly care. Jt has been reported that he was in the Nabit of visiting the Western Female High School. He was there but three times,,so far as can now be remem- bered. Once he came to ask some of the teachers and pupils to assist in an entertainment that was about to be given for the benetit of nis church. and | twice he sought admission on the pretence o! see- Mg some of the giris who had been his Sunday school scholars. On one of these occasions he kissed one of the girls in a way that excited the indignation of the teacher who witnessed the act, and he was narrowly watched during the rest of his stay, although at that time there had not been a | no conversation about the case then; th | word breathed against his good name, THE NEWARK COAL CASE. The Alieged Attempt to Bribe a Juror—Alder- may Cain’s Condjutor at His Old Tricks— A Move to Set Aside the Verdict. in the Essex County Supreme Court at Newark, betore Judge Davia A. Depue, yesterday, the formal examination of Robert P. Love, of Pennsylvania, on a charge of having attempted to bribe a juror during the pendency of the suit, took place. The first wit- ness called was James McLaughlin, the juror upon Whose aMidavit Love was arrested. The counsel for Mr. Antchinson, defendant in the coal sult, having aeclined to act for Love, lest it might interfere with their client’s interests, Love was assigned counsel bythe Court. McLaughlin tes- tifled that he went to New York to @ hotel in Cort landt street in company with Paddy Kernan, the game who achieved not a@ little tocal notoriety a couple of yeara ago in his capacity as Alderman Cain’s chief keeper and coadjutor; McLaugniin and Paddy met Love; they conversed abouts the suit, and Love asked what influence he had witn the jury, and Wat point could be made in securing a low verdict; subsequently in Newark they got together, and Love asked McLaughlin what the ysers were, aad told him thatif he would use influence with the jury in procuring a small verdict he (Love) would make it all right with im. On crossexamination he swore that Love knew he was @ juror; that he had made no direct offer; that he did not snow what Kernan wanted him to go to New York for, although Kernan was witness’ wife’s cousin. Here tne counsel who had refused to be Love's at- torney arose and said that the statement made by McLaughiin was such that he, in benalf of Mr. ‘hinson, might be justified in making a further eXaimination into the case, a8 the improper conduct on the part of this juror would provably give suitl- cient grounds lor the setting aside of the verdict, He proceeded to examine McLaughlin and drew from him that he had heard there was “A GOOD DEAL OF COAL TO BE MADE” 4n the case, At the hotel Kernan le!t the room and Love iocked the door, McLaughiin told him he had no right to converse about the suit as it was still on trial; but sill he tistened, as he says, in order that he might see if Love would make any offer; his object was to discover what inducement Love was going to maxe and if any other Juror oad been ap- 7 RAILROAD REFORMERS, An Irregular Meeting of the Committee of Ninety—Foley Wants to Resign. The Committee of Ninety held a meeting last evening at No, 42 Union square, whe call issued, t seems, Was not a regular one. It was not signed by Mr. John Foley, but bore the names of Mr. Henry Ciews, Mr. Ballard ana several other gentie- men who heretofore have not been present at many of the sittings of the body of which they have the signa honor of being members. This circumstance had its significance, and under the wording ‘of the circular was also a hidden meaning. It announced simply that the object of the meeting was to discuss the legis- lative measures proposed to be taken in regard to rapid transit, Of course 1t was something unusual for the Commitice of Ninety to talk upon this suD- Ject. Avout twenty members were present, among whom were Mr. Clews, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Ballard, Mr. Stein and Mr. Hazard. The meecing was pre- sided over, as usual, by Mr. John Foley, although It had been convened without consulting or notifying him. His presence seemed a surprise to some of tne other gentlemen who were there. Alter calling the Meeting to order the Chairman insisted that 1t should be secret, and the other members acquiesced afver consideravle objection. Accordingly several * brothers of the reportorial quill were turned away ignominiously by Mr. Jonn Foley himself, who Kindly saw them tothe door, A HERALD reporter, however—no douvt by virtue of his more respect- able appearance—was permitted to enter and re- main in the room until the adjournment. ‘The committee was engaged in a desultory debate im wiica each member seemed especially disposed to while away as mucn time as possible and to tax his memory to bring before the committee every little joke Which he had not absolutely orgotten since bis coliege days. The only one of them who seemed endowed with the faculty of viewing mat- ters in their natural and ludicrous light had fallen asievp during the early part of the talk, and only awoke at ihe eleventh hour, to deliver himseif of some very salutary and satirical observations, ‘The reat business transacted amounted to little. A committee was appointed to confer with the other Organizations relating to rapid transit, upon the Motion oi Mr. Brown. ‘The committee consisted of seven members:—Messrs. Strahan, McDonald, A. J. Dovaie, N. H. Chesebrough, John T. Daly, By F. Brown, E, N, Taylor, Jr. Another committee was appointed to revise the bili recently offered to the Legisiature. This committee is structed to add to the number of Railroad Commissioners provided for in the bill, It 1s composed of Messrs, Hazard, | Stein, A. H. Barney, Townsend, McDonald, Mr. Foley meade @ speecil, in which he referred to the peculiar way in which te meeting had been called, and said that he knew it was so done in order to oppose him personally, He, therefore, otfered ls resignation, Mr. Roberts moved its ac- ceptance; but the motion was lost in the subse- quent rambling conversation between members. Mr. Clews moved to change the name of the associa- ton from “Tue Retorin” to the “Kapid Transit? Association. ‘This, too, was lost without action, ‘rhe committee then adjourned, THE KILIAN-YREAR ELECTION CONTEST. Close of the luvestigation—Summing Up the Evidence—Argument by Messrs. Waterbury and Jouliffe. ‘Tho Committee on Privileges and Elections held their last session yesterday, at the Fifth Ave- nue Hotel, in the contested election case of Kilian against Frear, Messrs, Strahan, Twombly, D. B, Hill and Marcey bemg present. Messrs. Waterbury, Green and Dessar appeared to represent Mr. Frear, and Messrs. Joullffe and Lapaugh represented Mr. Kilian, who was not personally present, The printed testimony of 331 pages was placed in the hands of the committee. Ataquarter before twelve Judge Waterbury, who has been imdisposed for some days, commenced wo sum up the case for his client, and made an able argument, covering three and a half hours, m which he dissected the evidence, which he declared in not @ single instance had shown fraud onthe partof the sitting member, while the evi- dence cleariy snowed tis to be the boldest case of an attempt to unseat a member. He relerred to the fact that no frauas were claimed to have been per- etrated in any of the districts except the Twenty- rth, Where the complainant had sworn persons to prove that he was entitled to nimety-eignt votes where he only received sixty in the ‘nail canvass, ‘The counsei admitted that the evidence justified the assumption that Of the nineiy-eight who testitied Ulat they voted ia the district for Kilian forty-six acvuaily did so vote; but the evidence of the otuer Mty-two was of such a douvtiul character that in his opinion no unbiased committee could admit it as'proof that they voted for the claimant. ‘The counsel then read trom the official testimony such witnesses’ evidence wherein many swore they voted for the reform ticket, but they did not know whose name was ou it for mbiy; a number who swore that they voted for Killan, but on cross-ex- amination admitted they were not positive of it, and some who swore they voted for Frear. He ex- plained the fact that eighty ailidavits were securea In the district from persons said to have voted tor Killan, by the theory that Frear’s name was run out of the reform boxes and many voted the reform ucket under the impression that they had Kuian’s name upou them, AS proof of tis theory he in- stanced the evidence of Carroll and — others, who swore they ran Frear’s name out of the reform boxes, and saw some of the makers of the affidavits vote for Frear. Counsel claimed that as the taree tnspecters of the district and the two watchers swore that but sixty votes were polled in the district for Kilian wt was very certain that those who made the aifidavits were mistaken, He made a strong point on the evidence ot Inspector Barker, @ republican and personal enemy of Frear, who positively swore that Killan ; Teceived but sixty votes, and remarked that the Committee could scarcely accept of the idea that the five gepuemen who were inspectors and watchers had perjured themselves and the makers bad spoken the truth. These oiicers had no incentive to perjury, and the discrepancy in the vote could only be accounted for on the hypothesis that some of those who testi- fled that they had voted itor Kilian had done so under @ misapprehension. It would be very diftl- cult, he thougit, for tae Commitiee to secure irom the fity-two wuose evidence he classed as doubtful fourteen, to swell Mr. Kilian’s vote to sixty in the district. Mr, Waterbury’s. argument was a very able one, and seemed tO have consideraple weight with the Committee. Mr. Joujiife, for the clatmant, after a recess, sum- med up the evidence, and read copious extracts from the testimony, claiming that all wuo had sworn in their votes should be counted, and that Mr. Killan was legally elected. The Commitvee rose about six o'clock, and it is expected that they wiil make their ‘coached. The Court called upon any other juror to say if he had been approached. The foreman and another juror said they had arank wiin Love, but he nad Dever hinted anything to them. MR. LOVE'S STATEMENT. At the request of counsel Love was permitted to make a voluntary statement, in which he set torch that shortly after the case had commenced he was standing in front of the Court House sieps, when he was approached by aman whose name he did not know, but could Identity him, The man accom. panied hum to a saloon pear by; told him that there Was @ man Who wanted to see him about the case.

Oflicers are devarred from politi- cal enterprises while holding unton positions, and all Such topics are not to be permitted in debate, Local option and special legislation, prohibitory or otherwise, 1s to the Catholic Organizations a mater of indifference, Only as individual citizens can bey take any part pro or con, The question was brought to the direct notice of delegates by a telegram from the Pronibition Con- vention ‘at Columbus, and = the reply ordered to be sent is cousidered a settler from te Catholic standpoint. 1b was signed by Fatuer sic- Devitt in the name of the Convenuon, and ran thas:—“Keciprocating the courtesy of your saluta- tion the Catholic Total Abstinence National Con- vention entercain little hope in party political move- ments atming to effect tue supply. Catholics rely upon the power of religion to destroy the demand by conquering the appetite.” “PHE CALHOLIC TOTAL ABSTINENCE UNION OF AMERICA” was the titie decided on aiter a Jengthy debate, the question being whether Canada should be embraced, and as there are many societies there eager for an- nexation in this respect the argument Was that the Catholics ‘in taking them in” would probably poms the way for the United States to swallow up the provinces In a political sense. ‘telegrams from Mon- a and Toronto expressed gratitication at this de- cision. THE PRACTICAL BENFFIT to the societies 1s the interchgnge of transfer cards ; a@ member Oo! one will be shicided by his union transfer trom various temptations when he moves to anotuer part of the country. ie 18 received as a full beneilt member in any Catholic total abstinence society located in the town to waich he moves, If sickness oF death should befall him he is attended the same as if an old resident. At any point with- in his own State the diocesan union will effect the same. The national constitution simply bridges over the gap between the several States, THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT of organizations, as reporced at the Convention, is astonishing. she New Jersey State Union, jor in- stance, reported having started last August with 81x societies Of 600 members, and now has twenty- nine societies, of 2,600 members, being an increase of twenty-three societies and 2,000 members in half ayear. Atone meeting over a thousand members were pledged, THE NATIONAL OFFICERS. The prelate of tue ecciesiasical province in which the President may restde is to be consulted by the officers as spiritual dictator in the manage- ment of the Union. ‘The Rev, James McDevitt, National Presiaent, 1s a young priest, of great energy and capacity for this,work, and his seiec- lion occasioned @ scene of the wildest enthusiasm, Tne firss vote stood, for President—Rev, Jd. J. Keane, James_ W. O’Brien, New Jersey, 23; Rev. James MeDevitt, Wasington, 19; F. McMahany, Wasaington, 3, All decimed, but the delegates insisted on Mr. McUevitt's accept. ing. For First Vice President James W. O’Brien ‘was elected by acclamation, but deciined. The otuer officials are those gven in the HERALD telegraphic columns of yesterday. ‘The next National Convention was decided to be heid October 10, 1872, at Cleveland, ‘The delegates, befure leaving the city, assemblea at a banguet given by the Baitimore clergy, where all expressed themselves as higniy pleased with tae occasion, OBITUARY.
