tional story about the killing Of Mr..
Edsall, prominent druggist, before the
fire, and circumstantially describing the
illness and death of his wife, who, not
withstauding, is still iu good health and
residing in this city.
Several of the papers here are de-
nouncing the Chaplain of the Illinois
House of Representatives, who, when
offering his prayer on Saturday, referred
to the action taken by Governor Palmer
toward General Sheridan, and begged
that grace and strength might be given
the Governor to stand up in the face OF
obloquy and opposition and carry out
the laws OF the State in accordance with
the Constitution, saying, "Give him the
moral courage to stand up against
those who have set up against him, and
give him the help Of every true man
throughout this commonwealth and
nation" One OF the evening papers
says: "For bad taste and discourtesy,
not to say blasphemy, this partisan ap'
peal of a chaplain is quite unequalled.
Mr.. Pierce may have his private opln-
ion, for which nobody cares, but when
he drags it before the Supreme Being,
with an insult to the larger majority OF
the body whom his prayers are supposed
to represent, he degrades his office"
