with loaded pistol and discharged it into his body:
The Indictment has charged them with assault
and battery with intent to Kill ana muir

bail at all. While am far from saying that any OF
the defendants are guilty of this, fact OF whlch

The fearful attack of the Occident on the
Congregational Union is accounted for by the
fact that its editor was pastor of an Old School
Presbyterian church in Benicia which had
reputation for disloyalty; and loyal Presby-

of the same denomination, organized Congre-
gational church, which was probably aided in
erecting house of worship by the Union. Hinc
