Ashley is right-the 9th Of January is

Time was when Congress had some rev.
crence for law, some desire for the good

Time was when a minister Of the gospel
could preach Christ and Him crucified
without taking an iron.clad nath-but that
has "played out"
Time was when tho Supreme Court OF
the United States had more Difference
shown it than n committee Of Justices
Of the Peace-but that has "played out"
Time was when u dollar had a metallic

The SUITS AGAINST GEN. BUTLER
an the suits against General Butler, plain
tiff Honeywell accuses Butler of compelI-
ing him to charter the steamer Carlotta
to his brothers partner at $50 per diem
and that the vessel was then chartered to
Government at $3.50 per diem, that sub
sequeutly she was run in a private voyage
by Butler, after WHICH he compelled the
plaintiff to take $1,000 for the vessel,
though she was worth SAC, 900, and his
brother and partner received $40, 600 for
her from the Government. The other
plaintiff, Koarney, of New Orleans, alleges
Butler compelled him to give his brother
$4,000 worth of naval stores which was
paid in Confederate notes of s., 900 only
butLWhich notes Butler himself had pre-
viously prohibited from being put in cir
culatiOn. After the stores were delivered
Buffers brother consigned them to Boston
where they were sold and the proceeds re-
lmitted to Butler. The Court took the
papers and reserved decision.

MoRHfssEY AND BUTLER.-John Nor
risscy was recently in the city, and they
tell a good aneedotc Of him. In an inter
view with the President, Morrissey said,
"You, no doubt, Mr.. President, have
heard that | was n gamblcr-that is true,
| have gambled ut cards and made money
by it, but | always played fair aud never
cheated, and | have never been accused
oft. You also no doubt, have heard that
| was connected with the ring, and was a
pugilist. That is true also, aud | always
beat my opponent. Now, this is more
than Ben. Butler can say. Hc played
and gambled after his fashion, at New Or
leans, but he did not play fair and cheat
cd everybody, and no one can ever say he
whipped an opponent, So | am at least
ahead of him on two points" Pretty fair
that, for Morrissey. Ifoccasion ~poesenta,
Morrissey win not hesitate to say the same
thing to Butler on the floor of the House.

REMARKS BY TUE EDITOR.

Our friend Liberty" strongly intimates
that we refused to publish his communi-
cation of last week because we feel unable
to meet its arguments. We are told, also,
on the streets, BY some, that they would
have been glad if We had published it.
They seem TO think that the reasons we
gave for not publishing it are untrue [;
aud that it bore quite heavily against our
article on Spiritualism. Now, IN order to
silence all such cavilings-in order to
show that We do not at all fear tho Sin
surmountable obstacles before" us 50
graphically limited at by Liberty" We
here aud now state that his communica-
ton of last week will appear in our next
issue. Whether We shall answer il or not
we do not now know. We think it prob
able we shall let il fall still.born. We
most surely shall not enter into any seri-
Gus or labored argument to prove the au-
thenticity of the Bible. We shall proba-
bly, simply prick the bladder be >has
blown, in one or two places, and let that
sufice.

There seems to exist at conflict between
the United States authorities Of the In
dian Department and the American Board
Of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, in
reference to the possession and title Of the
Lapwai Indian Agency, on the Ncz Per-
ces reservation. The land in dispute is
at this time very valuable, and contains
many improvements, built under the d.
rection Of the Indian Department.
The whole matter will be litigated in
ene ensuing term Of the District Court Of
the first Judicial District Of Idaho Terri
tory, to be held ut Lewiston.
The American Board Of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions is u religious i%nstitu-
ton, Incorporated under the laws Of Mass
achusetts, in 1872, and claims to have set
tied this tract Of land under authority and
permission Of the War Department and
the chief Of the Eez Perccs tribe, such
settlement aud title having been confirmed
by u subsequent law Of Congress passed
in 1858, notifying aud granting to these
religious societies grants Of $40 acres.
Under direction and authority ofIhis So
ciety, the Rev. II. Spauldipg located his
mission in 1913 among the Ecz reIces,
at the present site Of the LapYai agency
which was held by these missionaries till
the time of the Whitman massacre, which
occurred in 1916, when they were compclL-
cd to abandon this IA well as tho other
missionaries in this section Of country, on
account Of the Indian difficulties, which
lasted till 1853 and 1859, when the coun-
try was declared opened for settlement
again by order Of Gen. Harvey. At this
time the Indian Department took posses
sion Of the mission claim and ever since
has occupied it as its agency among the
Ncz Pcrccs, Heretofore these conflicts
between seligions societies, claiming
grants under The laws Of Congress and
civil persons. have been litigated before
the land Offices aud the Interior Depart
ment at Washington City; but this qucs.
ton was referred to Attorney General
Bates in the Dallcs mission case, who de-
clared that such conflicts properly be.
louged to the civil courts; and so 10 this
case, the claimants aver they can main.

the editor of the Umatilla Press "are
more of temperament than SENTIMENT
Are re to understand by this that, politi-

two editors? Such is the import of the
language. There is a difference, but it is
one of temperament" not sentiment +"
or principle.
We are glad to hear this. We are glad

bedding together. We are glad to hear
tina the Achilles and Ulysses of the Dem

heavy blows, are directing their herculean
strength towards the demolition of the
strongholds of the common enemy. Our
Herald contemporary not long since favor

PRAcrIcAI PlErY.-Rcligion that does
not go with US in our daily vocations, con-
trolling and guiding us, is of little value.
We should not make it obtrusive or ILL
timed in any of its manifestations, but our
hearts should be so thoroughly inlbued
with the spirit of Christ as to cause eve
ry action, in its own quiet way: to show
forth the foundation principles of our life,
and speak a stronger language for the
Master than that of direct words. 1t is
in our worldly business, in our everyday
life, that our religion is needed, if any
where, both in its effect on ourselves and
on those With whom we are brought in
contact; here temptations assail US, here
our influence is greatest Then let us pray
and labor that our everyday piety be
equal to our public profession.-Congre-

her life, but, like the faded rose the per-

the full bloom of youth and maturity.
