VEXATIOUS BRIGGS CASE.
Divergence of Views Still Maintained b,
Directors and Assembly.

Divergence of Views still Maintained by
Directors and Assembly.
New York, Oct. o9.-The directors of
Union Theological seminary met again this
morning to confer with the committee
from the general assembly regarding the
d~isapproval of Prof. Briggs appointment
to ths chair in the seminary.
When the conference adjourned tonight
the proceedings of the two days session
were made public. The directors of the
seminary maintained their indie pendence
and allegiance to Prof: Briggs, whose cleo
ton to the chair of Biblical theology was
vetoed by the general assembly. The two
days session resulted in a great deal of
talk, but the matter is still unsettled, with
indications untavorable to a near sediment.
The directors adopted a resolution
setting forth that the is a misconcsp-
tion of the meaning of the action
Of the board in 1870, whereby appointments
of professors we're to be confirmed by the
general assembly. The directors say this
referred to the election of additional mem
bers Of the faculty. not to appointments to
new departments of professors already in
Office, or to their transfer. The assembly
committee then caucused, and adopted a
resolution declaring that the general as
sembly had always regarded said engage
asking the views of the directors
on the matter. After elaboration,
the directors returned another resolution.
declaring that the board, without surren-
derine it's Interpretation Of said arrange
ment, fully recognizes its binding force IN
til it shall he proved illegal or properly
a%brogated. Thus the affair ended.
