much had transpired without his KNOWLEDGE
Dr Gurley said he thought it natural that
Mr. Campbell and others, when they found
the property had been ssld to Messrs. Church
ana Heron on terms to secure q certain sum to
the church, instead OF the bnlk of the prop.

course pursued by Messrs Church and Her.
r1n it. was wanting in prudence; before par;
to the church the exact condition Of affairs;
this would have removed all grounds for
subsequent complaint or suspicion. Their
i
I hey had erred, but had committed no wrong
intentionally. The only question now was
whether they would retain the property for
their own use or give portion to the church,
against them. He did not believe they were
dishonest, but they had acted imprudently.
He thought Mr.. Campbell had acted with
pure motives, but he had erred.
Messrs Tschiffeley and Lathrope concur

Mr.. Waller thought they'had better return

Page after he had given it to the church.
The resolution Of Mr.. Chester was adopted
Mr.. Campbell said for two and half years
hs had been the pastor Of that church, and had
endeavored to the best Of his ability to ad vance
the temporal and spiritual welfare of the
church. Now that this trouble had occurred,
be probably would not be acceptable to some
MEMBERS and could not be as useful as hereto
fore. He therefore offered his resignation. to
take effect on the 1st Of September next
DR.. Gurley moved that it be accepted, to take
effect from the time specified.
Mr.. Taylor moved to amend by inserting
July 1st instead of September lst. He did not
wish to keep Mr.. Campbell here when he con-
fesses he cannot be useful.
Mr.. LAthrope thought it 8 very singular way
10 say when member should resign. 1t
amounted to dismissal.
Mr.. Campbell said he only wanted suff cient
time to settle mp his affairs and move, and he
would leave as early as possible.
Mr.. Taylor withdrew his amendment, and
the resignation as offered by Mr.. Campbell was
accepted.
DR.. Baird thought Mr.. Campbell had been
placed in false position, and many shafts
hurled at him to which he could not reply.
Mr. Taylor said in his course he had en-.
deayored to keep Mr.. Campbell ia the back
ground as much as possible, and make no
illusions to him. Adjourned.

SIXTH STREET AUXILIARY CLUB.-Last eve-
ming, the regular meeting of the Auxiliary Re-
publican Club of the Seventh Ward was held
VI ISio
DR.. VIM. Boyd occupied the chair, and Mr. +.
Myers acted secretary
The Chair stated that about two months since
the ward club had attempted to legslate them
out OF existence as cluD by striking out the
word "auxiliary." but this club had not of.
fcially been notified of that action, conse-
quently it was still an auxiliary club; and he
claimed that it was the only radical club in
the ward. They had withstood all attempts
to break 1t up on the part of the Seventh Ward
Club, which was composed OF men OF no po-
llticai creed IA yoice.-sThOse who want to
grind axes.'' At a previous meeting a motion
was adopted by which a member of the ward
club could come in and participate in the meet
iBg, and he hoped that motion would DE made
to reconsider that vote.
Mr. Harlow (white) moved that the vote re-
ferred TO be reconsldered; which was agreed to,
and DIR. Boyd announced that as a conse.
quence no person unless member would be
allowed to participate in meeting except on
invitation.
Mr. Myers NV hIte) said that some members
Of the ward club did not know the meaning of
auxiliary, but as he looked at it, this club was
always auxiliary, and was so particularly on
election day. era
Mr.. f. Myers offered a resolution that the
club be an independent permanent radical or
ganiZatioD; which was agreed to.
The Chair DIR. Boyd) stated that recently
he had rode IS miles, travelled SO on foot, and
spent 81 for the benefit of the colored man, and
yet he had been told by Mr.. Reuben Bacon
that 1t was a lie. He proceeded to speak OF
this business, and to show that he had been

CORY, Of the Freedmen's Bureau. stating that
time had been fixed for hearing certain cases
on habeas corpus ia Marylan and remarked
that his business was TO see after these cases.
He remarked that there was little or no Re-
publicanism in the Seventh Ward Club as
was evidenced in their nomipating meeting,
when they attempted toput an old fiunkey on
the ward.
Mr.. J. d. Farren. Of Kansas. was introduced
and spoke OF the Kansas troubles and the re-
suits Of the war. In the coprse Of his remarks
he said he did not like the Central Associa-
tion for they had given him the cold shoulder,
and it appeared as self constituted associ-
alton.
DIR. Boyd said that it was no wonder that the
cold shoulder was given TO a radical by that
association, judging by the way he had been
treated. They had refused to enaorse resoIu-
tioEs cendemning the Fort Pillow massacre.
Some of the men who had been elected under
the guise of Repu blicans were not RepubIi-
cans.
Mr. f. Myers addressed the meeting as to

the Long Bridge; stating that Major Leaby,
who had discharged him and put an Irishman
in ais place, WAS a member of the Grand Army
of the Republic; and alse referring to the fact
that Major French had been removed through
the influence Of the Soldiers and Sailors
Union because he gave no encouragement to
soldiers. .....r .. rr-.E
