Another KaIloeh Affair.
The Pittsburgh Commercial Jouraal gives the
following account or another rass Of seduction
BY a pastor. Was he a Hignsr Of the Kansas
Nebraska protest?
In the early part OF the month Of Jtme facts
were put in our possession tending TO prove,
almost beyond a doubt, that a minister Of a
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 81 Allie
gneny city, was guilty Of having ssduced a
young girl from Missouri, who had BEEN placed
under his care BY a parent to educate. We,
therefore, published the bare fact, leiving out
all names, however. A day or two after, the
reverend gentleman called nncn US, and en-
tered into a long and detailed statement, en-
seaToring to establish his innoeenee Of the
elarse; but as the explanation vas not deemed
sufficient BY US 10 warrant a contradiction, we
declined complying with his request to recall
what had been previously stated.
Stree that time, eouoboratlve testimony %
guilt has almost daily been pouring 10, bat We
nave RETAINED from making an oppose, or even
further mention Of the matter, both fof the sake
Of the girl and Der relations, and also the pas
Tor and bis congregation, hoping hat 10 would
be arranged, and justice done without the ne
eessity FOR such a proceeding. But az the case
will undergo investigation b. the PTesbyterv OF

Church, which meets to-day, July 8, a Or near
FreePori, Armstrong county, for thu purpose
OF trying their suspected brother, and deciding
upon his guilt or Innocence; and as afidavits
we're yesterday made before Aldermlu Steele.

IN the sane bed together, and on board the

Inc gentleman went to Captain peyenny, Of
the drctic, at this port, two days before che
was advertised 10 start out, and represented
where he was going, and asked the privilege
Of coming on board at that time, an staying at
the M0n0ngaheia House was very expensive.
Ine request was granted. Mr.. S. told the
clerk to register the names as Rev. Simpson
and lady, which was done, and the couple oc-
cupied one state-room two nights before the
boat left the wharf. Before leaving-on some
p~rsteuss, we org0t Whal-Mr. S. got another

The suspieiaus Of Captain Moore and his
brother, the first clerk, became aroused by
several actions on the part Of AfT. Simpson
and his young lady. For instance, they would
be Heal D always out Of sight-he n her state
room OF she 10 his-eXcspt at meal times, and
when IL the cabin would carry on very fool

he chsmbernaid that Mr. Simpson had been
alone In Miss Hsrdsrson's s.ate-ruom several
lines, the captain and clerk determined TO sat
isfy themselves If any improper connection
existed between them. Accordingly the
steward ordered that two little gir.s occu-
pying the state-roomnsx to Miss HenderEou's
shoud be removed. He then hid a gimlet
hole bored in the bulkhead, BY which a view
could be obtained OF every thing iu.the ladies',

o'clock, be went idto The adjoining room, and

sir. simpson was found lying on the bed, with
bis pantsloOns on, and sadaavored 10 make a
transparent defense, By PLEADING that the lady
would not allow him 10 leave her, as she was
afraid to stay by herself. The Captain was in-
