The Breach OF Promise Case OF E1ev.
DE. Clark, OF elttsbnrgh-tA New
Complication.


DT. Clark, or Plttsburgh-A Nc.s
Complication.
Prom the Pats5urgh Ga-ttte, Jugs
It was generally supposed when Rev. Dr..
Clark had passed through that severe ordesl
before his PEeabytery few weeks ngo, his
case, in relation to that breach Of promise, ~
was settled. This Seems, however, to have
been mistake. For some time rumoEs have
been current that the scandal was to be re-
vived, and the Psesbytery again called upon
to engage in judicial investigation. Within
few days these rumors have been substau-
tiated By other evidences which Indicate there
is truth in the talk. We have it from reliable
authority that committee has been appoint
ed to investigate new charge. This in
substance is that tho promise was made
prior to the decease OF the reverend gentle
mans wife. The prosecutor in the new case
is said to be the accused's bcother-1n-law, who
appeared as his counsel in the former trial.
The committee, it is understood, will report at
the next meeting Of the Presbytery. It is to
be regretted th1t tho case is to be again
brought before the public We have refraiued
from mentioning the matter in this now light
until it has become the subject of general con-
vezsation. While not taking aides either way
in the absence Of ali the facts, We may say that
tue evidence to substantiate such a charge
should be very conclusive, otherwise it were
better prosecution had never been entered
upon. In any event it is but the part OF JUS
tice to all concerned that the public be not toc
TASTY in forming q judgment until al tho facts
are developed.

THERE was quite u scene in the San
Domingo Committee Thursday, when, in
reply to question, Consul Perry, who
was on tho witness stand, stated that Sen
ator Howard had approached him to In.
fluCncO him not to write a report to the
State Department OH the Imprisonment Of
Hatch, and that il ho would not, Senator
Howard would make it all right with the
President. Senator Howard, who was
present, denounced the statement rs false,
but Consul Perry reiterated it, and pulled
out rhispOckct some Of Senator HOward'G
visiting cards with memoranda on them.
There was II positive sensation over this.
The Committee had hard Work TO keep
order and preserve the peace. After all,
1t il believed that the evidence will yet
show up the improper influences used in
negotiating this San Domingo treaty.
