New TEMPERANCE LAW IN ILLNoIs.-.The
bill known rs the g Ohio law restricting the
traffic in strong drinks, passed the House of
Representatives at Springfield yesterday by
large majority. The vote stood: Ayes, 100;
noes, 43. The bill had previously passed the
Senate by an equally emphatic majority. 1t
now goes to the Governor for his approval,
which it will undoubtedly receive. 1t par
takes in no way of the absurd nature of pro-
hibitory law. It's fundamental principle Is
that of common Justice namely, TINT every
man should be responsible Under the law for
the wrong that he may do to others. It isa
law to enforce the execution Of this eminently,
Just principle upon liquor-sellers, and this,
substantially, Is all there is Of It, Chicago

Tstc Esfsc j. Is. Taylor, ID. h.

CuIrarEE, VA, January Is, 1872.
A large crowd assembled on yesterday
morning (some from dstance) at the Bap-
fist church in this place, to hear "lnemorial
sermon" respecting the late Rev. James 3.
Taylor, y. D., OF your city, which was
preached by Rev. a. II. Poindexter, D. D.
The exercises were exceedingly impressive,
and the 'mcmoral sermon" was worthy the
mind and the heart Of the gifted speaker.
The discourse was an eloquent and truthful
tribute to the memory OF man who was
loved and honored by all who knew him,
and who died hmented by multitudes.
