After all, considerable excitement WAS cauHod

Paul, in the discussion Of the question to dis
solve tho relations botwoon tho Rev. r. 7.
Brown, D. D., and his church, tho Central Pros

showed that there were irroconcilable differences
between tho pastor and tho church upon tho
subject of finances, while tile majority report
was in favor of Ills remaining, and stated TINT
the only financial difficulty was tho fact that tho
church WAS in dobt, and TINT tho minister was
in favor Of having 1t paid of, and had
made humorous appea1s to tho iborality Of
the people. Both reports wero takon undor nd

wished him to romain, tho minority report WAS

TLero Is no discussion Of tho sunday~bcor
question in Cincinnati, which Ia thero regarded
as definitely sottlod in favor Of beer everywhere
and at all times; but in place Of this, ia tho
worry practical consideration Of tho price which
ought to DO charged for boor. Tho Commercial
has takon tho sido Of tho boor-drinkors ns
against tho browcrs and vendors, and holds It
to DO prepostorous that they should demand
five conta for q small glass whilo tho superior
beverage Of Munich is sold for hyo conta

sumors woro put of with such docoitful little
apologies for faohoppens' Of beor IS tho Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati beor-glaaaos, thoro would
be universal rebellion In o week." It appears,
too, tha tho American pooplo drink moro boer,
though they take it in smaller allowances anl
at higher pricos than ia drank in Germany.
Tho avorago consumption OF beer in tho North
German Confederation Ia put down at 214
quarts por load annually, whilo tho American
consumption Averages 25A quarts por head. Az
the main Ingredients in tho manufacture Of
beer arc watar and barley, It would soem as

Special Dfspateh to The Chicago Tribune.
5AoKsoNvrLlE, July 17.-The citizens Of Nor
gan County arc beginning to discover that tho
new railroad Inv works SERIOUS injury to their
intoreats. This is tho greatest stook-raisinR
county In tho State. and the farmers havo here
toforo enjoyed tho benefit Of competition to
Chicago. Tho old ratio for stock was s25 Cur
to Chicago, but under tho now law it ia es7.74.

York over tho Toledo, Wabash d Wostorn. Horo.
toforo the stock haB been sold to buyers in Chi
cago because tho market WAS nearer and the
money returned quicker. The Toledo Road win
havo virtual monopoly Of the trado to New
York, while tho Clicago roads will bo left out in
tho cold. This county paid something in the
noighborhood Of half ntnillion dollars to bring
competing roada to this point and those who
pay taxes cannot SEQ justice In law which de-
privoa thom OF competition whilo It docs nc

THE 9HEPHERn.DANA CARE.

Whatever may be tho merits OF tho contro-
versy between hlr. Dana, tho editor OF the Now
York Sun, and hfr. Alexander r. Shepherd, Of
public will rojoico TINT Judge Dlatohfora refused
to pormit local Police Court Of the District Of
Columbia to o1tond its authority over the citi-
zcns Of Now York mud other States, tako thom
to Washington for trial without Indictment, and
subject them to conviction without jury. Tho
article to which Mr. Shepherd mainly objootod,
IT We remember right, Was that printed in tho
Sun representing him to be atockholder in tho
metropolitan Paving Company, which is largely
engaged in tho public works Of Washington.
Mr. Shepherd believed, or professcd to believe,
that this WAS libel. Libel, undar tho 1aw OF
the District Of Columbia il misdomoanor. 1t
WINS hold that the alleged libel was uttered in tho
District, thepapor containing 1t Was circulated
thore. An affidavit WAS mado gotting forth tho
charge, and tho Washington Police Court issuod
an order for Mr. Danh's arrest. It waa undor
this order TINT AIr. Shepherd hoped to havo Mr.
Dana taken to Washington, where, as he evi-
IDENTIFY believed, ho would have a bottor chance
Of convictiug him. Tho prosecution Of tho case
partook rather OF tho nature OF persecution.
Mr. Dana was first brought up botoro United
States Commissioner Davenport, Of Now York,
who would gadIy hayo aent him to Washington
1t he had dared, aud who refused to accept
bail, Tho case WAS thon taken before
Judge Dlatchford by tho defendant, when
bail WIS granted and a day set for arg1,-
ment. There seemed to bo two points dead
against tho position takon by a1r. Shepherds
party. There ia q United States law which pro-
hiLita tho requisitIon Of accused persons, except
upon Indictment. Thoro was no indictment in
this case, but committal by nn ordinary Police
Court. Tile Constitution Of tho United Bsatos
also guarantees ayory ofrondor trial By jury,
which Mr. Dana could not have received before
posed Of tho case by dooidiug that tho defendant
WIS entitled to q jury trinl at bis first hrroat,
ind therefore could not bo given up to a Wash-
iIgton Police Court which hns no Jurisdiction
over Ills case.
A vory dangerous precedent would havo been
rot by permitting Mr. Dana to be dragged from
his home In New York to tho District Of Oolum-
bia to bc'tried for libol beforo police Dogberry.
This would have boon centralizatson with a ven-
goance. It would have boon notice to tho Ad-

Mr. Senator Cnrpentor's plea In extonuatiop Of
tic acceptance of tho back pay was that tho
Constitution requires that tho "sonators and
Representatives shalt reccipe compensation for
their services to bo ascortatncd by law," md
therefore ho was compelled to receive tho COM
penaation voted him by law. If this plea bo
worth anything, 1t is perhaps equally operative
and binding in other caaeH. For instance. tho
Constitution Gays that tho sonate shall 30 conn.,
posed of two Senators from ouch State" Yot
for nearly ton years tho Senate was composed Of
Senators from only two-thirds Of tho gtatos;
nevertheless tho sonato claimed to bo legnl
body. Tho Constitution furthor declares TINT
tho "Vico-proaidont OF tho Unitod statos shan
bo President Of tho Senate" Yet tho Vice -Prcei-
don't Is not President Of the Senate except when
no chooses to attend, md he is ut full
liberty to attond or not, aa ho ploases.
It is said In Tho Constitution that tho President
"shau hold his Office for tho term Of four yea1a;"
but his right to rosign at any timo is not quos-
toned. Despite the requirement. TINT ho 'shall
hold his Office" for four years, he may bo re-
moved ut any time by impeachment. The same
instrument declares thai tho Judges Of tho
Supreme Court ''shau hold their ofiicos during
good behavior" Yet no ono has over denied
their right to resign. In all these cnses tho
torms used by the Constitution dofne tho right
Of tho Officer to roceiyo compensation or fix tho
torn OF his office; but thero is no legal objection
or difficulty In the way Of Ar. Carpenter, or any
other Senator, sending to tho Treasury Of tho
United States any anount Of money ho may
possess; aud, II he has clear conviction Of 11ia
owning the money by constitutional enactment,
tho loss legal objection will thoro DO to his FREQ
