By referring to The report Of the
NEXT TO PosT-oFFIoE.

By referring to the report Of the
LIQUOR Dealers meeting, IN the local
eolumns.it will be seen that the pro-
prietor and editor of the Courier, not
content with their efforts IN the
paper, have taken the stump in9agoEs
of violating the laws. We apprehend
that Dir. WHITTLEsEY. will regret the
speech made by him last evening. He
has made d great many foolish speech
es, but never before has he given ut
teranee to so much absurdity in the
same length of time.r The action
taken by the meeting, shows the
righteousness Of the whole thing,
Mr.. WHITTLEsEY, it seems, is going
to have the preachers fined for preach
ing when they receive salaries for doing
so, and preaching is the aYocation by
which they earn their hvelihooda The
druggists, too, are not to be allowed to
fill prescriptions, nor the Physicians
TO attend the dying. All this be-
cause two or three saloon-keepers
are not permitted to keep disorderly
houses, and make night hideous with
the drunken orgies Of their poor
dupss. We think many inmates of
the Hospital for the Insane haven never.
been guilty Of such crazy manifesto
tions. a1
The citizens Of Evansville may,
however, learn the necessity Of proper
caution and frmness from the reek-
less manner in which these inccn-
diaries scatter brands The as
sault upon the Grand Jury is an at
tack upon the very citadel in which
the laws Of the land are fortified.
Strike down the Grand Jury and
-tenths of the laws for the pun
isbment of crime will be absolutely
imperative and useless. The men
who denounce the Grand Jury knew
this fact. Their object in attacking
the Grand Jury system is that the
food-gates may be raised, and vice and
immortality flow over the city like
deluge. What Paradise for roughs
will our city be, if Mr. WHITTLEsEY's
ideas are allowed to prevailI
We have no objection to the line Of
policy adopted by the saloon keepers.
If they hope TO force the people of
Evansville to tolerate UNANIMOUSLY dis
orderly houses by the tactics they
have adopted. they have a legitimate
right to make the effort. They may
annoy a good many people unneees-
sarily. but these annoyed will trace
the annoyance to the proper source.
We doubt if a better line of policy
could be adopted to make saloon-k keep
ers odious in the eyes of ali the people.
We especially wish them joy /. their
efforts to prevent preaching-Whieh
Mr.. WHITTLEsEY places on a par with
liquor selling-and in preventing
druggists from putting up prescrip-
tions for the sick. We suggest that
Mr.. WHITTLEsEY be employed the
attorney in all these suits, and we
shall take pleasure in recording his
pleadings and his triumphs in the
form of judgments.

Mr.. Rivels, (colored) minister, took
Moody by the hond Just before the

friend, l have often visited you since
you were sentenced to death, and a
few weeks ago had the pleasure Of
baptizing you In Christ. You prayed
to the Lord aud He heard your
prayer. Your sins are forgiven, as
you and | believe, and the Lord be
praised, He has given you grace for
this great trial, and you have told me
all tho morning that you are
quite happy in the forgiveness
of your sins. You are about to pass
into His great and high presence.
Scarcely will the shouts OF earth die
out IN your cars, and the scenes be
closed to your eyes, when you will be
ushered through the pearly gates, by
the hosts of angels, and be taken into
the presence of your Creator.

have mercy on your soul.2
