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

oution may be abundantly blessed, and that at the last ha

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

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 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

great good of tbe Church throughout our land. Cur father
