Keport on the Chlengo Meinlnnry. The Special Committee on the Theological Semi nary of the Northwest made a report through the chairman, Dr. Reed. The chairman stated that this was not a unanimous report, as the committee could not agree, and that a minority report would also probably be presented. The following Is the report of tho majority : The Majority Keport. FrJm the eleventh annual report of tho Board of Di rectors presented to this Assembly, it appeua that thirty tive young men have been n attendance during the past year, seven have completed tho prescribed course of study and have received the usual certificate of graduation. The students in the seminary have spent much of the time unoccupied in study in special evangelistic labor in the city of Chicago, and with liiarkoa success, being made tho instruments of the hopeful conversion of many, and lbeir ingathering to tbe noitsbbaring churches. The Kev. Willis Lord, D. 1)., presents to tbe Assembly his resignation of tbe chair of Didactio and Polemic Tfceolofy. The committoe recommend that the resigna tion be accepted nnd tbe following resolution be adopted : Jinmlvitl, That In accepting Dr. lord's resignation of the Cyrus H. McUormick Chair of Didactic and Polemic 'i'neolopy in the Theological Seminary of the Northwest, the General ASKcmhly expressos i s sense of the ability and fidelity with which be has discharged tbe important duties committed to him ; and our gratitude to the great Head of tho Church for the success by which He h is marked Disapprobation of Dr. Lord's labors in training young men lor the Gospel ministry ; praying that all his future lanors ior iub pruuiuuuu ui iuuuh nuninurai euu oution may be abundantly blessed, and that at the last ha may receive from tbe Lord himself tbe prortised public approval, "Well done, good and fuithful aorvunt, enter thou into the joy ol tby l.ord." The report of tho Buird of Trustees, which accompaniej that of the directors, exhibits the linuncial condition of the summary. Thero have also been tubmitted a minority roport tigne I by five oithe directors, and a protest signed by two ol the directors, representing that thj action of the ma jority has not been in accordance with previous directions of the General Assembly. A number of gentlemen connected with or interested in this seminary appeared before the commiUo and were heard ut length. From oil wuich your committee is obliged to state, as we do with doep regret, that tbe diltieultieB here'oture exist ing and which were supposed to have bten amicably and finally adiuste t by the action of the Assembly sitting in the tirst Presbyterian Church in Pittsburg in November last, btill continue or have broken oat afresn ; that by this renewal of strife tho interests ot the seminary are greatly imperilled and our common Chtistiauitr subject tore. '"J'n v?ew of the tacts that have come before ns, the com mittee rceonrnienaa the following action, based upjn the decision of the Assembly in November last: Jit eel ml. 1. This Assembly solemnly enjjins npon tbe parties concerned that ni further controversy respecting past issues be indulged in, and all should cordially unite in efforts to promote the prosperity of the institution in tbe hold ot uaef itinera now open before it. Jietuicefl.i. lnusmucb as the ehair of theology has been vacated by tho tesutnution of Dr. Lord, and Mr. McUor niisk lias been released from tbe fourth instalment of bis bt nd, according to tbe direction of the Assembly, no occasion exists for further controversy in reference to these matters. ... . hn,u0Kl,'i. Inasmuch as it appears that dissatisfaction hss been created by tbe eleation of trustees in A pril hut tbe Assembly enjoins upon the directors to make hucU cbangesss will conform t&eir action to articlo a of the Agreement , whereby persons not unacceptable to bit ber party shall take the places of tho three trustees who ro tigoed in accordance with tbe diroction of tbe Assembly. y.v.o riif, That in compliance with article 4 of the Agree ment, "all the frieuda and patrons of the tScminiry suall have a proper share in tbe management of the institu tion, and those friends of the (Seminary who have nit yet contributed towards its endowment shall make prompt and earnest ettortH to complete the endowment. The term of oflice of tbe following members of the Board of Directors expires at this session of the Assem bly, vii : lhilh(rr Ruliiiq Bhhrn. 8. T. Wilscn. D. P.. Henry Phelps, J. U. Monfort.D.

Tbe committee renommend the tilling of these vacan cies by an election ol directors by tbe Assembly. Tbe committee recommend that the vacanoy in tbe Chair of LidactiO and Polemic Theology be tilled by this Asxeably. V. D. KlCED, Chairman. Rev. William E. McClarcn, a member of the com mittee, presented the minority report. Both re ports were received. The following is the minority report : The Minority Itrport. The committee regrets to state that the difficulties here tofore existing in tbe ticmiuury of tbe Northwest, and which were supposed to have been amicably and finally Biijubted by the action of tbe assembly which met in the Fust Presbyterian Church at Pittsburg in November last, still continue, or have broken out afresh; that by this renewal of strife the interests of the seminary are greatly imperilled and our commun Christianity subjected to reproach. Complaint has been made before your commit Ue against tbe action of the Hoard ot Directors in re-electing tbe tiiree members of tbe Board of Trustee who were dis placed in 1K.H. Alter a careful and prolonged investigation of this matter, your committee is constrained to express its regret that tbe parties to tbe agreement signed in Chicago on the 3d day of Novomber, lSuii, did not arrive at a more distinct understanding ot the terms of the agreement at tbe tune. It is apparent that each put a very different in terpretation npon the language of the compact, and this, no far as we can judge, wubout any secret reservation or intention to differ. A n agreement or covenant npon which the contracting parties without fault, and each ignorant of the other's liews, put two different interpretations, must necessarily fad to give practical satisfaction. In this view of the vase, therefore, it cannot properly be said that auy default in complying w ith the alleged terms of the agreement is of the nature of a moral violation of the compact. Under these circumstances, and in view of all the facts which have come bo'ore us, your committee recemmend the following resolutions: Utxlvt, 1. That tbe Assembly solemnly enjoins upon the parties concerned that no further controversy re specting past issues be indulged in, and that all cordially uuite in eltorta to promote the prenperity of the institu tion in tbe field of ustiuluess now about to widen so greatly before it. Htniltf), i. That the Board of Trustees be advised to -' rounder whether it would not be in the interests of peace ml harmony to receive the resignation of the three I r in lets in question, that their places may be tilled more satisfactorily to all parties J,tuir,l, a. That those Iriendsof the seminary who have not yet contributed towards its endowment shall make a . i rompt and earnest effort to raise for it the sum ol at least tf),ooo. It was moved that that porta on of the majority re port, which charges a breacn edfeovenaut on either party be '.stricken out. It wJ UQVd to lay this motion on the table. Loti. Considerable tllsensplon was elicited bv these re ports which was artlelpotPd in by Rev. Mr. MeOor mlelc, who Is the representative of tho tiistatiMtled party, Dr. Reed. Governor Pollock, Rev. Mr. Spof ford, and Rev. Dr. J. C. Backus. Dr. Backus offered a resolution as an amendment to the amendment, and moved tr strike out the original words for Its Insertion. He said that In stead of charging upon cither party any breach of contract he would strike this out aud Insert "that, as the directors appointed do not seem to be agree able to both parties, the three be directed to redgn, and that thu directors elect In their places others who will be agreeable." On motion both amendments were laid upon the talle. Three of the resolutions in the report were then adopted Item by item. On the resolution proposing that the places of the three unpopular trustees who resigned by order of this Assembly bo lillcd with persons who shall be satisfactory to both parlies, another discussion took ','a''e" The Dliirnanlon. 1 Dr. Buchanan said, in reir-vindlcation, that par ties had been referred to and that the vote by which the three gentlemen had been returned was not a party vote. 1 am not and never have been a party man, and was not actuated by a party spirit. My ftelinir was to do what 1 considered for the best lnttrtrtsof the Assembly. Kev. c. L. Thoninson said he thoucht something was due to the interests of this House. The senti ment throughout tho Northwest In regard to this Northwest Seminary, both amongst ministers and churches, is "Let us have peace," It Is claimed here that t here was no Intention to violate the agreement. It was unquestionably violated, aud now what shall we tloV The idea is to elect three men unobjection able to either party. But that was done a year ago. and what was the result? This Assembly should vindicate Itself before the churches and ministers of the Northwest In regard to this question. There Is only one way for the settlement of this dilllctilty, and that is ftr the Assembly to take a (inn, decided stand in regard to this matter, aud then, and then only, will we have peace. .lutfge Skinner said it was his misfortune to be on the committee who had this matter In charge last May.- We spent the entire week of the last session In investigating this question. That committee agreed npon a report, and the first thing It stipu lated was that JUr. McUormick shjuld pay the t'25,000. We received this report with the utmost, gratification last Mav. We now have It again. I fear, with the best motives, we are about to do in justice. It is a question of law. When a contract Is taktn Into account, all the provisions In it arc to be taken Into account. One of the provisions was that these three gentlemen should resigD, and that oihers shoukl be e'ected in their places. We are called upon to pass severe censure on three gentle men of high standing who have labored for years in behalf of this Institution and the Ulnirch. All I ask Is that no unjust imputation may reaiain upon these pure men, and that they may not leave this Assembly wllh any feelings against them. All mention of cen sure Is in the preamble, which Is not now before tha Assemblv. We ate now to vote upon a resolution. The reading of the resolution was called for, which request was complied with. An Amendment. Rev. Dr. Mi Cormick offered as an amendment to the resolution of the majority report the following from the minority report. He said he offered it as a peace measure, and fuily in accordance with the declaration of the brother from Cincinnati, who re cently spoke on the subject: 7:rore(f, That the Board of Directors be advised to consider whether it would not be in the interest of peace and harmony to receive tho resignation of the three trustees in question, that their places may be filled more satislaotorily to all parties. Dr. Wilson thought that this would be no peace measure. It was equivalent to abandoning the Chicago Seminary. It was moved to lay this amendment on the table. Carried. The question was then taken on the Item of the committee's report, whicli was then adopted. The final resolution was then adopted. The preamble, which contains the words of cen sure, was then considered. The Final Adopt Ion. It was moved to strike out all the offensive or fault-finding words. Carried. The preamble was then adopted, and subsequently the whole report. Dr. Reed said that by accepting this report the Assembly agreed to go into an election for directors. Nominations would now be in order, that the elec tion might t9ke place two days hence. Two tickets were nominated. The Noiiiluntlon. The first embraces the following gentlemen: Rev. Robert V. Patterson, 1. U., Rev. W. S. Uurtis, D. i, Rev. d. V. Noves, Kev. L. Pratt, Kev. L. 11. Reed ; and Kiders J. S. Farrard, M. 1'. AyreslJ. K. Seelev. Isaac Scarritt. and S. Harvey.

Turpin, M. 1'. Ayres, Samuel Howe, and llovey K. Clarke. The Chli-iiKO Professorship. The Moderator stated that this was also the time for receiving nominations to fill the professor's chair In the same institution vacated by Dr. Lloyd. Rev. U. L. Prentiss, D. P., ,T. 11. Skinner, Jr., and Rev. R. W. Patterson, D. 1)., were nominated. Dr. Prentiss asked leave to withdraw his name, which w as refused. The election was made the order of the day for to-morrow afternoon at four o'clock. Ihc Moderator said that In such an important election as this divine guidance should bo asked that the choice shou'.d be made aright, and culled upon Dr. Beatty to lead In prayer. Prnyer Iy Kev. Dr. Benny. The following prayer waH then offered by Dr. Btatty : t.n at and gracious God, we rejoioe that wo are per mitted under all circumstances to come to Thee to ask Thy direction, '1 hy help, and Thy blessing. Kspeoially we thank Thee, O Tbou great Head of the Church, that Thou art ever ready to listen to the cries of those who belong to Thy Church on earth, to its in erests and welfare. VVe come beftre Tliee this morning humbly and earnestly to big Thy direction and help from on high. We are about to engage in tbe most solemn and responsible work of electing a professor in one of our theological seminaries. We ask Cod to direct ns. We ask for tho spirit of Curist from on high. Oh, send down Toy love into our hearts the love of Uod, the love of truth, t he love of Tby Church, and we pray Thee, Heavenly l ather, that Thou wilt so guide and direct and influence our minds, our hearts, our conduct, our final votes, that this matter may be so sell led as to be tor the honor of Cod and for the interests of that institution whose rrofessor we are to elect. We beseech Tliee, Almighty Cod, that Thou wilt bless this institution; that thou wilt heal all difficulties in tue midst of it : that Thou wilt heal all animosities: that Tnou will, i aim down all prejudice. Wo bei-ecli of Thee to shed through all our Church, and especially that region more immediately concerned, an especial interest in the wel fare of this institution, that thay may lay hold of it with earnest ners. aud that we may support it with munificence. We pray Thee, Almighty Cod. that Thou wilt open the way tor a settlement of all difficulties there, una grant that whoever may be elected to this responsible place lmy go there under the blessing of Almighty Cod, with tho great good of tbe Church throughout our land.

We ask it tor our dear Redeemer's aako. Aiucu. The Flnnnre Itrport. Tho consideration of the Finance Committee's report was then resumed.

"That a simultaneous collection be made in all the congregations on tfce seoond babbathof January next, when the ministers, having prepared the way by keeping the subject constantly before the people in tho interval, shall more specially urge tho contribution upon them." A motion was made to change the day of tho col lection, which was laid upon the table. Various speeches were made upon the items. Judge Ekarrett offered tbe following, to be added to the plan of the committee 4. That the committee constituted bp the first resolu tion be instructed to prepare and tor ward to each congre gation a clear, distinct, aud minute plan lor the subscrib ing, reporting, collecting, aud forwarding the auriunts contributed to tuis tund, aud alsj to prepare aud seiii suitable blanks for tbess purposes. 6.

An amendment was made to the lust item ol this report, stating that in place of fixing the date the collection be taken as near as possible simultaiious- ly In the month or January text. This amendment was adopted, and the entire report wai tnun adopted. The Moderator announced the name3 of gentle men who had been appointed on several commit tees. Rev.
