IMMORTALITY OF A CLERGYMAN.-We have
purposely RETAINED from making any allusion
to the grave charges of RIGHTEOUSNESS pre-
ferred by the Boston Times against Rev. Mr..
Kalloch of Boston, pastor Of the Baptist
church worshipping at the fremont Temple,
with the expectation that the Reverend gem
tleman would be able to clear himself from
the imputed immoralities, and re- establish his
reputation in the community. The charges
were, in brief that on the fifth day of Janu-
airy current, the Reverend gentleman had an
engagement to deliver lecture at East Cam
bridge-that ne went in hack to fulfil his
engagement, taking with him female friend
that he called for a private room, and hot
whiskey and water-and that in that room
the parties were guilty of improprieties be-
fore the lecture, of an act of gross immortality
after the lecture, which the statutes of civil
lzed nations make punishable with heavy
pains and penalties.
When the charges were made, Mr.. Kalloch
was absent from the city, but on his return
he met them with prompt denial. An in
vestigation was subsequently had by COM
which MIR. Kalloch belongs, which, after ex-
aiming witnesses, and hearing Mr.. Kalloch's
statement sof the case. reported at length
through the Boston papers, generating him
from the charges made against his character,
and urging him to disregard them, and to re-
newed zeal in the Gospel ministry.
Onthe day following that On which the re.
port OF the investigating committee was made
public the Boston Times printed the affidavits
of Ephraim P. Bailey. one of the landlords
of the Cragie Formerly Lechmere) House,
and Samuel Giddings, fare-taker on the East
Cambridge and Boston line of omnbuses in
relation to this case. The affidavits are sworn
to before Samuel R. Glen, Justice of the
Peace. Mr.. Bailey says that on the night of
the fifth of January the Rev. MIR. Kailoch,
accompanied by a lady, came to his house. and
desired a fire to be made in private room for
the accommodation of himself and wife. He
then ordered hot ct. wRRifsaEs&Ea s fir III. :
He desired him, if possible, to bring it up
without being known. He did SO, and hand
ed it to the lady. Suspicious being excited,
he looked through an opening in the door,
and saw the gentleman kiss the lady Heard
her say, "what would your wife say if she
saw u.s." and heard him reply, elbow will
she know it? But what would your husband
say if he knew 1t ;" After occupying the
room an hour and half they went to the
lecture. In lie meantime, Bailey widened
the creyice in the door so as to have better
view After the parties returned, he saw the
gentleman take the lady in his lap and fire.
quently kiss her; heard him propose to occu-
Ply the bed, to which she objected, saying
''they will mistrust u.s. Saw them lay
down upon the floor. Then asked Mr.. Gid
dings and Mr.. Griffin to come up and exam
inc. When Mr. Kslloch paid his bill, he or
dered another whiskey sling, and drank it.
The deposition of Giddings is to pretty
much the same effect. He saw the man and
woman rise from the floor, the man button his
pantaloons, and the woman arrange her cloth
ing. Both the Opponents say they have no
doubt the man and woman had sexual inter-
course.
The Times says 1--WE understand that an
accusation will be made before the Grand
Jury of Middlesex, against the Rev. Mr.. Kali
loch at their next meeting 1t may be made
previously before the police court of East
Cambridge"
Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Giddings are the per-
sons whose stories in regard to the matter have
given rise to all that has been in circulation.
They had been seen and catechised by gentle
men who were present at the meeting Of Mr..
Kallochs friends on Tuesday afternoon. A
legal investigation of the meter, which shall
determine how much credit their statements
deserve, seems indispensable.
