MR. LINN SPE
Mr. Lion then comm ca d his argu
ments and after a few opening remarks
e e ms.
upon his trying position and the charges
which, if proven, would ruin him for
ever, took up the evidence adduced on
both *des and examined: it at great
length. The' first point touched upon
was the appearance of Mr. Carey and
daughter, from Cleveland; who he said
had not been cited by him, but had ap.,
pealed 'Providentially , to refute tbe
charges made. He referred to the testi.
=ay ed with having of the woman Whom he was charg
assaulted on the bridge,
and before God asserted that her testi
mony was true as far as he knew. Noth
ing that the] prixecution ;void adduce
could discredit that testimony. it had
been providentially corroborated by Mr.
Elartunir, of Allegheny. The charge of
receiving lewd publications had also
been disposed of by the testimony of a
person whore experien Riddle berm Tate
as ample as that of Mr
comPLlbrinfranv Leprxxs.
He read a letter from Mr. Jos. Hall, a
member of the Session of the Connell&
villachurchraddreseed to the Presby
tery, and stating that the session had
called Mr. Litm to supply the pulpit,
and that i only awn Private: members of
the congregation had objected. lie in.

hem had been placed among the charges;
he had been told pun it had- be en in

Lift just to attempt to insure a Minis.

the Presbytery of the Western Reserve,
setting forth that Mr. Linn had been Per
mitted to labor beyond the bounds of
Presbytery, and commending him as a
faithful and able minister wherever he
might visit, was next read.
THE CLEVELAND maTTER.
Thieves followed by a complimentary
extract from the Cleveland Herold, and
by a letter from Rev. Mr. Faulkner, of
Sharon, stating that a few days since he

Linn's) statement.
He rejoiced in his heart that the Cleve
land matter had been-brought into the
case. The parties who had instigated
these proceedings had not come forward,
but had written articles for the Cleveland
press defaming him. The editorsof those
papers having seen the reports in the
Pittsburgh papers. had denounced these
efforts. He had left the church there be

I lls had walked 8164 the street feeling
almost like a criminal, and totally tin
able- to defend himself against them.
'But against the advice of his counsel,
testimony bearing oh these rumors had
been taken, and they bad been ahown to
be without foundation.
MORE EPISTOLARY ENDORSEMENTS,
Following thin he read a letter• from
Mr. Tabor of Clevaliad, who had been
called by the defense, in which the writer
stated that he was an unwilling witness
at the trial, and deeply Syropatbizaci with
the .respon d ent. In commenting on
the letter, Mr. Linn stated that it was
written several weeks after his resigna
tion in Cleveland. Since then the writer
'tad been alienated front him. - This was
• a dagger in his heart. Mr. Milan was
one of the most godly he bad ever
known; bad been-his counsellor and sup

felt called upon to defend the Institution
from the iniscomgruction arising out of

Professors, who were the leading lights
of Old School Presbyterian Church,
from the charge of a want of veracity.
He did claim the right, however, to criti

contended that for so doing he should
not be subjected to charges that he was

INCITEMEN. TOP THE PRO ECUTION.
The speaker next considered the incite.
ment of the prosecution, an said: If it
was to purge the church of an improper
and immorrl person, then it was proper.
He could riot believe, however, that each
was, the motive. He could not separate
it from the Seminary article. He did
not believe all the members of the Pres
bytery believed that the trial and the as.
tide were not connected. They may have
considered him a bad man; they may
have beard the Cleveland rumors and
considered him unfit for the ministry.
But he urged them now, in the broad

rumors, to judgelim by that light.

[The speaker made some severe personal

the testimony of Miss Smith, but was
called to order by the Moderator. He
apologized for the words he used, but
said whenever he thought of that testi

slccarTioN OF THE rnosscurzox.
• Dr. McKinney, Chairman of the Prue-
Settling Contrulttee, proceeded to close
the argument on the part of the prosecu
tion and gave a brief history of the in
ception of the trial, and stated that him
self,. Dr. Jacabutt and 'Rev. Mr. Dela

Seminary matter, he said, was in the

AND THE 'SEMINARY.

,hat if those letters had not been written
the charges would not have been made

He then alluded to the charge that the

TEE ARGUMENT ?ROC:REDS
Dr, licKinoey said, to regard to the
charge of a bruised face and staggering
demeanor, that he would admit the
charge was not proved, The witnesses
who were cited to appear and testify on
this point did not attend, they wore for
mer associates of the accused, a fact
which may account for their . :unwilling
ness to' testily against him. Although
the charge is not proven, what is the in
ference?
Mr. Linn-Tile inference is. that there.
is not a word oftruth In the &urges. If
there was,
the witnesses would have
been here to testify. [Great applause.]
HSINCi BUSINESS.

land affair--t he kissingo; Brough-.-.
and argued that the circumstances, were
of a abuse* tp cast reproach upon the
accused. It was said that Miss Briiiigh
struggled and resisted. The Doctor said
that he knew from pleasant experience,
forty years ago, that young - ladies word&
struggle even when they did not object
to being kissed. They straggled in or
der that there might be more hugging
done. [Laughter.] But in thisinstataie
the young lady, whenquestioned con
cerning the affair, denied' that anything
of the kind had taken place. She left
the church, however. it was , argued
from this that there was something wrong
on the part of the accused.
TEE BRIDGE. AfFAIR.
The Patterson difficulty was re.
viewed, and it was claimed the testimony
showed indiscretion. ,
Then the bridge affair was taken upp.
but there was little made oat of-it 4 tend

her oonduct to make that; husband jest.
our? Her quick recognition of Mr. Linn,
when she appeared before the commis.
ston, was not at all favorable to the ac
cused.
Mr. Linn —I desire just here, begging
Dr. McKtnney's pardon for the interrup
tion, to make a correction. Mrs. Davis
did not testify that she bad not seen: me
from the time of the bridge affair. Bp to
the day she gave her testimony. She
said she had not seen ,me up to the time
of the trial.
Dr. McKinney—That is another bad
feature. [L3ughter and hisses.]
• Atter further remarks about nuns. Da

the charge of receiving obscene publica

Alleged gorse Stealing. •
Saturday night Mr. tharleo Pford, a
,
butcher, doing business thietelleghe
, ---1
ay market, left his hala3B. d
spring
. wagon on the street, onis;de the, Market
house, for a few - minutes while he went
to attend his stall. Returning ha missed
the animal and vehicle, and , notwith
standing the most diligent search failed
to discover any trace of his property.
Yesterday morning a neighbor, !while
traveling in the vicinity lof Col. Duff's
residence, on the New Brighton road,
about ten miles from the city, discovered
the missing wagon on the 'roadside, and
upon farther inquiry learni3d of the pres
ence of the horse in. Col. Dud's stable.
The horse had been discovered tied to a
tree, o Sabath mornind the was-
on halt co b ncealed am g, ong an lot of
underbrush by one of the OslonePs
men, who, rightly suspecting the nature
of the case, at once, secured the animal
to await developments. The property',
'upon being identified, was promptly
turned overto Mr: Pford's friend. who
brought all back to the city. Mr. Pford,
however, not satiated with the return of
the property, set about to secure the .
thief. and as a - result of his investigation
made infcirmation before Mayor Drum'
last evening against Wm. Bowers, whom
he suspected as the guilty party. Awar-
rant was issued, but the accused has not •
yet been secured.

nue, M. E. Sunday school, Allegheny,
was held at Monitor Grove, Friday last.
The members and friends of the school
enloyed a very pleasant extzersiort to the
Grove, on the steamer Echo, and spent
the day in the.woods, in the most agree
able manner. The attendance was very
large, about seven hundred persona be
ing on the grounds, andengoging with a
hearty zest - in the pleasdres of
the occasion. The House of Refuge
B:aas Band, composed of a number of
inmates of that institution, was present
through the kindness of Superintendent
Avery, and added 'considerately to the
interest of the atrair. The companyre.
turned to the city in the evening by the
steamer. highly pleased - with their trip
and with happy recollections of the festal
celebration.
Heavy Fall.
About half-past one o'cicck thin morn
,
ing Robert Brown, a colored youth, fell
from a third story window of Lafayette
Hall to the pavement below on Wood
street. The colored folks of ourvicin
fty-were celebrating the First of August
by a festival, and Robert had just taken
a seat in the window to cool him
self when he lost his balance and fell.
He was taken to the office of Dr. Rlng,
Fourth avenue, when It we* discovered
that several teeth had been knocked out,
his jaw nadly larcerated, but not broken,
and his head seriously bruised. He
alighted putty on , hie head. He was
insensible after the accident, but soon
recovered conscionsiness. He Is a river
man by occupation and resides in Alle
gheny. The injuries are not considered
fatal. • '
Vint Defalcation.
. We mentioned yesterday that a heavy
defalcation had been discovered by an
examination of the accounts of a confi
dential clerk for a tpannfacturing firm of
this city. The matter has been since

Absent from the city, but an information
will be made upon which he will imme

all probability, would not have been
made at the present time bill for the ab
sence of the party" accused. The whole
affair is beginning to assume shape and
will be made public shortly.
Fire Alarm Telegraph.
July was remarkable for the small
number of fires occurring in the city,
and the comparativetf. Insignificant lfts
sustained. In this respect It is stated that
no mouth since the establishment of the
Fire Alarm is the report so, favorable.

were nine alarms diving the month,
