Injunction Dissolved.

a suit had been instituted eud TEN

against the County Officers Of Yellow

bids the removal, by the Officers, o.

and campsls them to hold
their respective Offices At Yellow NJ ID

by the Court Commissioner Of tha.
County. {. 4. Shannon, ASSISTED By
Ex Gov. Austin, were Attorneys 70.
the Plaintiffs and the firm Of B I'D win
& Wallin of this place, and Cook o,
Yellow Medicine, were retained by the
Defendants.
The grou Ids upon wnic!. tie tempo
rary injunction was issued were, tie
allegations of the Plaintiffs.
1st That the bill authorizing q yose
on the removal of the County Sea.
was not legally pissed, in that, it WIS
not read twice at length in both
branches ofthe Legislature.
%. That only minority OF tie ic-
gal votes of the County voted for it.
It came before Judge Hanscomc at
the recent term of the District Court
in New Uim, on a motion by Defend
ants Attorneys to dissolve the Injuac-
tion.
We understand that the points mad :
by Deft's counsel were substantially as
follows.
1st. That the fact of bill not hav
ing been read the constitutional mum
Der of times, oa its passage, could only
be shown by the Journals ; whereas in
this case it only appeared from fila.
Wits.
2nd. That the Complaint did not
contain averments Of any facts showing
that any injury would resals to any
person be reason OF the removal of the
County Seat 70 Granite Falls.
81. That. this being an action in
Equity, would not lie, because the
law provides an adequate remedy.
These points were sustained ty the
Court.
Tie Defendants Attorneys have re
ceived the order CT Judge Ilansco:ae,
dissolviug the temporary injunction.
The speedy termination Of the case
in favor Of the Defendants is, we
think, due to the promptness and pro
fessional skill Of their Counsel. Messrs.

An old man attempts 10 give US an eX'

cause, and have US benefit thereby. But
pray tell US what you did In all those for,
~ years. Something, undoubtedly. But
has not more been accomplished In two
months under the present method thar
under the forty years Of which you seem
so anxious to writer The old temperance
movement never closed onetenth the
number Of saloons that have been closed
10 this country within two months.
You are pleased TO refer to Rev. Mr.,
Fisher In favor Of closet praying. But
when Rev. Fisher Is asked TO pray tor a
sick or dying sinner, does he not 60 to

that is not sinCere-praying 10 be seen OF
men. When Rev. Fisher assemblies his
congregation, in his large church, and
leads them In prayer, he Is not entering
into his closet. -. q
some Of these saloonists have not heard
a prayer for many years, We go to these
saloons for precisely the same reason that
a minister goes to the home Of sinner
and prays Tor him there. Some people,
however, do not seem willing TO pray with
others, unless they do 1t through the key.
hole Of their closets.
AS 10 the unpleasant notoriety the ladies
are securing, and the evil names they will
hand down 10 posterity, we have only to
say that we prefer being called q Deborah
or Jael-alluded to by speaker In our
union prayer meeting-Rll the same. Men
may prefer the lame Of Meros. We have
known q rumseller OF twenty-five years
standing, thank God that He put Il into
the hearts OF women TO pray IN his saloon.
But has religion been degraded by this
hundreds OF salOoDists have been led 10
abandon their business, and many have
lound an interest in Christ Through the in.
duence Of these meetings. The bappiest
effects have followed among christians

work.

Mr.. Beecher ON Alcohol.

From tho N. Y. Times OF MOndSyl
Rev. Fl. W. Beecher devoted his dis
course last evening to a eview Of the Il.
quor question and the temperance crusade
in the West, Local option, he thought,
had in many cases accomplished a great
deal of good. The trouble with laws of
this kind was, that the great body OF cit
liens failed TO sustain them by their in
fluence and votes: Policemen and police
magistrates were unable to do everything.
As to liquor itself, no did not consider it
at all times and under all circumstances
injurious. A healthy man had no need Of
1t, and was better Of withoutit, but all men
were not healthy. Then there were PEG.
pic engaged in the temperance relorma-
lion who were pushing 1t too far, who
were repelliDg more by their bigolry and
intolerance than they CONQUERED by their
arguments and prayers, Persons who In.
sisted that under no possible clrcum-
stance, or combination Of circum-
stances, a thimbleful Of brandy was Of
use to the disordered system might mean
well, but they were on the wrong truck.
The idea, on which the great temperance
reformation began thirty years ago, that
all liquor was Of itself poison, had been
undermined by science, But there were
those who went even further than this,
and pronounced stimulants TO be bad. A
man who endeavored 10 carry out their
precepts would be in danger ofstarvation.
The TACT was that, stimuiants in certain
cases and In moderate quantities were IN,
questionably Of benefit to the physical
health 1t was all very well 10 talk about
the resction and say that that was invari.
ably equal to the exaltation, but 1t was

untrue. One reason why Americans used
them TO excess was from from their lack
Of proper recreation. Good food, proper.
ly prepared, and pleasant homes were
what Americans needed 10 wean them
from this demon Of drink. The temper
snce crusade the speaker regarded az Of.
iecting much good, though more Of Il by
opening the way to o wider field for wo-
mans Influence than by prayers at the
rum.sellers, addressed from the sidewalk.

able and nutritious, and hall the tempta-
lion 10 drink would be done away with.
In conclusion, he had two rules TO be
offered: First, don't drink at all; second,
Il you must drink, let It be Of the right
kind, at the right time, and under the
right circumstances.
