Refusal OF tho Canadian Judge to Adj

fortunate Kidnappers To Lie in Jail
Until October, When They VIII BE
Tried for Felony.
MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, July 90, 1873.
The following despatch has been received by the
Tfbune:-
FORT GARRY, July &c, 1873.
The outrage is consummated. Our citizens,
through the Vaccinations Of Attorney General
Clark, have been sentenced to lie in British jail
to await the session OF the Queens Bench in Oc-
tober next The following judgement has been
rendered by the Judge on
THE QUESTION OF BAIL.
This is an application on the part OF the prison
cretonary with the Judge before whom application
Is made to grant 1t or not. Every one, think,
must understand Tat the word 'dscretIonm as
son to bail and under similar circum-
stance withhold that right from another. Le-
gal discretion, as defined by Sir Edward
Core, is to discern according TO law Let us apply
abundantly established in evidence ID and admitted
by at least two OF the prisoners, Hoy and Keegan,
that they, with the active cooperation OF Fletcher
and Blakey, l0rciby seized and confined against
his VIII one Gordon, with intent to take him out
OF Canada. Our statute declares this offence
seven years In the Penitentiary. The accused
have sought to justify their action by stating
u person in New York authorizing the capture of
Gordon, and tnat, having only acted under this
power, they had nfringed no law; that by common
the British DOminions and take and fOrcibly carry
him away without warrant. do not subscribe
to this doctrine, which in my opinion is most dan
gereus to our national independence; but, assum-
ing this opinion to be sound, 1t would not meet the
present case, as
THE POWER OF BAIL TO TAKE HIS PRINCIPAL
is personal right confined to himself alone, ana
cannot be delegated to another Now, with thes Q
data before us, what remains?
Ffrst-That the offence charged against the prs-
oners is most serious one.
SecOnd-That the evidence sustains the charge
and leaves little doubt as to the guilt Of the prs
Oners.
Thtrd-The plea Of justification is. in my opinion,
untenable.
Let u.s. in conclusion. apply our discretion to
these facts, not forgetting our definition that
discretion In this sense means to discern according
to law. 1t Is laid down in books that when the Of
fence charged 10 OF a serious nature and proof OF
the facts OF the case and taking into consideration

case is different. In committing him for trial
was, think, justified by law, but this being an
applicat ton to rule as Judge of the Queens Bench,
and there being doubts in my mind as to his guilt,
think he ought to be admitted to ball. himself TO

BALTIMORE, July q, 1873.
During Saturday and to-day immense crowds Of
people have visited the scene OF the great fire on
Friday.
The names continued to burn in certain local-
ties and the high wind gave rise to fear that Gin
ders might yet be communicated to adjacent prop
erty, but this afternoon drenching rain fell and
terminated this danger. The
FOUR SQUARES
embraced In the burned district are nothing but
mass OF ruins, scarcely wall standing that could
be made available in rebuilding.
THE CHURCHES
The congregations of the First English Lutheran
church and the Central Presbyterian church wor
shipped to-day with other congregations OF their
denominations and pathetic illusions were made

them Of their places OF worship. Both these
churches will be rebuilt Immediately
AT st. Alphonsus Catholic church. which was sur
rounded with fire and yet escaped destruction,
there were special services OF thanksgiving in
honor Of its escape Father Leingruber preached
a most impressive sermon, attributng the saliva
ton OF the church to the PRAYERS OF the faithful
Catholics who knelt in suppcaton while the
names were roaring around it. At the close Of
the sermon the congregation broke forth spon-
taneously with re Deunl, which was sung with the
deepest religious feeling.

Waterbury Fast-Day Services


Union Fast-Day services were held in the
Methodist house. Rev. Mr.. Copeland read Sc
lections of Scripture and offered prayer in the
spirit Of the occasion. The sermon was dcliv-
cred by the Rev, Mr.. Truaz, from the text,
righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is
reproach to any people. Prov. XIV, "a
Divine Providence has instituted the family,
church and State relations as essential to the
existence, the physical education, the moral
and religious discipline, and the due regula-
ton Of the civil and material interests of soci-
ETY.. Well regulated families are the nurseries
and primary schools for forming the mature
man for his more periec; moral and religious
discipline and higher duties, the church is in
stituted. But the Stato--the human govern
ment ordained to regulate the more general and
material interests Of socety-must include in
its supervision all ages and conditions of hu-
man life rs its proper subjects.
To the conductors Of the periodical press,
thc publishers and vendors Of books in all their
endless variety, in great degree attaches the
responsibility Of the morals Of the times. Few
people think how much the moral sense Of the
community is affected by what is read in books
and papers. 1t is by readiag that most of our
knowledge of the doings and thoughts Of others
comes to US. The conductors Of the press
must, therefore, be held responsible in high
degree for the public morals. Their influence
peryades every hamlet and household where
there is a reader.
The two great operative forces in forming
popular opinion and directing the popular will
aud action, are unQuestionably the press and
the pulpit. The secular journal, which deals
with the every day life and business Of com
munity, receives its character from, and i'm
parts it to the spirit and character of the times
In great measure the same is true Of the pull
pit. Ii must 10 some extent adapt its instruc-
tions to the demands Of the moral and religious
necessities Of the period the ministry itself
must be men strongly partaking the spirit OF
the people to whom they preach.
The influence Of both the pulpit and press,
being thus active and acted upon, is none the
less potent for good or e,il-none the less, but
vastly more responsible Whoever has the
talent 10 impress his opinion on others at will
should be highly accountable for the right and
salutary use Of that power, for it is a power
perhaps even greater than that exercised by
the civil magistrate. Let journalists and au-
thors and preachers, then, beware what kind
Of doctrines they promulgate. Leaders of par
ties or Of sects ,may enjoy popularity for a
time, but in the end truth and its advocates
will surely triumph.
