pointed one of the committee to investigate the
case of the Rev Dr. Huston, was in Alexan-
dria Yesterday morning, and said that the state
mcnt alluded to was Incorrect Neither Mr.:
Gardner, MIR. Wilson nor DR.. Register will
| e members of that committee, nor has the
committee yet been appointed. The investlga-
ton will be held in Baltimore, probably IN
MAY, and will be conducted by Rev MIR. bod
gers, the Presiding Elder of that District, who
will appoint the committee OF i've to make it,
but has not yet done so, taking full time I" Sc
lect as its members those who Will be aces nta
bic to both sides.
This state reut is certain y not made on the
authority OF Dr. Gardner, who we know, from
| personal knowledge, has been engaged for two
weeks in collecting testimony and examining
witnesses, in company with the Rev DIR. kod-
gers, the Presiding Elder. We furnished him
ourselves with list Of w.tnesse, and sent 9TH
| ers to him aud DR. Rodgers, by whom they
were examined. The invest CATION now being
made by Rev. Drs Garduer and Rogers Is, we
learn merely TO make out the bill OF indictment
which is to be sent to DIR. Huston, with SUN
mons for him to appear for trial before com
mittee of clcrgymen The Presiding Elder
will make the investigation thorough and
searching one, embracing an inquiry INTO the
character OF the accused i'll other localities be
fore he came to Baltimore. This has necesS-
tated an extensive correspondence with parties
iu Ohio, Virginia. Kentucky and Georgia
Bait .1nt.
The statement certainly was made upon the
authority Of Mr. Gardner, who though ne may
be, and doubtless is, assisting in procuring the
names OF witnesses who will appear before the
committee of investigation, is not, and proba-
Div will not be- constituent member OF the com
mittee; nor had the committee bceu appointed
when Mr.. Gardner was ia this city on Thurs
dav last The committee will be composed OF
five members, exclusive of DR.. Rodgers, who
will preside over its deliberations, and of those
five it is understood "a majority will be from
the Virginia Conference, and be selected upon
the ground Of their eutire dislnterestednesS.
The evidence to he adduced at the examination
will not be divulged until the case comes up
for trial before the annual Conference neXt
Mach, in Baltimore; and the authority OF the
committee. should the charges be sustained,
will extend no further than the exercise OF the
power to suspend DR.. Huston from all mni>te
rial duties until his trial snail have taken place
If the charges are not sustained the Bishop
eau reins5;ue the accused in the position he was
requested TO racate by the late Nanenton Con
ference.
