APreacher who was Engaged
to One Girl and Married
Another.

A special pispatch to the ST.
Louis Globe from Jacksonville, IL
lin0is, says :. The Second Presby-
terrain church of this city repudi-
ate the action of the Springfield
Presbytery, in a recent session in
this city, in removing their pas
tor, Rev. e. NJ. Pires The prime
cause of the removal is an old do
mestic trouble existing for three
years past, i'm which it is alleged
that Rev. Pires was engaged to one
young lady and married another.
The worst construction that can be
put upon the case is breach of
promise, though the pastor him
self and majority OF the congre-
CATION firmly refute even that.
Subsequent TO the trouble, which
was carried to the Springfield Pres
bytery in 1871, but not disposed OF
at that time, the disafYected portion
of the congregation seeded, and
securing pastor. worshipped by
themselves at the court house. In
September, 1873, the Presbytery
dissolved the pastoral relations of
Rev. Pires. The case was appeal
ed thence to the general assembly,
which body appointed a judicial
committee to try the case. The
committee reported to remand tho
case to tho Presbytery, with in
structions to try or finally dismiss
it. November Is, 1874, the Pres
bytery reaffirmed its former ac-
ton, and directed Rev. Pires to
cease his ministrations of the con-
gregation, also retiring Rev. Ian
nington, who was employed as
pastor by the retiring party. The
church proper now repudiates the
decision Of the Presbytery, and de-
clare their determination to with
draw from Presbytery altogether.
There is considerable feeling over
the action of the church.

fers


NEW YoRK, Jan. ga Times
New orleans special says the color
ed State officers Antoine Brown
and Deslonde refuse to become par
ties to compromise or arbitrate the
result Of the election Of 1872. Gen.
Sheridan says Admiral Mullaney
WIS instructed to support him II
necessary, but he regards the crisis
as past, and does not look for any
trouble In the future. He has
been served with notice of the three
suits against MIN for trespass. Kei-
logg has forwarded to Senators
Morton and Frelinghuysen threat
ening documents purporting to
come from members of the White
League, bearing skull and cross
bones, and conveying dire warn
ing and threats against him and
the negroes. The force Of the
United States troops in the State
House has been slightly increased.
Acting Attorney General Difiie is
preparing q pamphlet on the situa-
ton for publication. He considers
the State government here since
1872 revolutionary one, and the
only solution is for Congress to
provide government. 1t is be-
lieved the White League leaders
will be arrested before Saturday
nibgt by process issued from the
U. s. District Court, and that
troops will assist in making the ar
rests. 1t is supposed Sheridan had
secret peremptory orders when he
came here to break up the White
League at all hazards.

No one llbe surprised to learn
that Mr.. Guizot, when, drawing
up his last instructions TO his fam
lily, wished to preface them by a
declaration OF his Christian faith.

mainod and still remain convinced

LOUISIANA CONFLICT.
EXCITEMENT UNDATED.


WASHINGTON, January 9.--Dur-
ing the last three days the Presi-
dent has received four letters
threatening him with assassination
unless he withdraws the federal
troops from New Orleans. Two of
these letters are dated Baltimore.
The impression depens that Con-
gress will be constrained to take
such action as will restore perma-
nent peace in Louisiana.
The Secretary oil War has receiv-
ed long despatch from General
Sheridan, giving an official account
OF what had transpired in Nev
Orleans on Monday last /: also IN
account OF events which have
/ anspired since.
General sheridan, although n OF
in command OF the Federal fore es
during their operations previous to
8 O'Clock Monday night, gives his
approval OF the course pursued
by General Emory and the officers
acting under him.
Four members Of the Southern
Outrage Committee held a meeting
yesterday, and decided that the
committee ON New Orleans exceed
ed their instructions and were sim
ply a committee of observation for
ascertaining whether it was neces-
sary to take evidence regarding
the situation In Louisiana.
New YORK, January 9.-The
Herald advises that the mass meet
ing which was assembled shere on
Monday on the Louisiana question
to censure not President Grant, but
Congress for its neglect'to legislate
on the matter.
A st. Louis special says Gen.
Sherman considers the action taken
in the Louisiana question was the
best that could have been made.
A copy of Sheridan's orders was
given him at the same time they
we're given to Sheridan.
