whatI had to say In regard to
the text in Habakuk by refer

think is q case that comes fair
ly within the literal meaning
OF the text In Habaknk. What
| said about Noah and his sons
was IN reply to what Mr.. Biegs
SAID on that subjecr, and | com
menced that paragraph by
quoting from Mr. Biggs.

and Mr.. BiGk's sermons. He
says, in his chafing, that "it is
remarkable what knowledge ol
scripture the business of max
ing and selling wine, beer and
whisky has developed" etc.
He says 'many other enormous
evils have taken shelter under
the Bible" There is no book
with which The Devil IS more
familiar "The Devil quoted
scripture to the SAVIOR etc
But he says "tbis thing Of quo:

DiVio 10 cOuntehahce tne use
Of intoxicating drinks at the
present day. Here again Mr..
J.,dses Qthe term Intoxicating
drinks SO as tOuingyih all dis
titled liquors. Iiwant II dis.
tinctly understood that IN tins
discussion l defend only pure
grape wine fermented by the
operation Of Gods own law,
which | claim to be the crea-
tuIe OF God. ~ G
Now, let q us examine the
question as toowho has the bur
den OF proof devolving upon
them. Who has the affirma-
tiveG Who first appealed TO
the Bible to establish their po
siiion. Did not Mr.. Biggs pro
fess to preach that sermOnr on
the wine question from a Bible
standpoin'9 In preaching said
sermon did he not affirm that
The wine which, the Bible ap-
proved was unfermenled and
would not, INTOXICATED Did he
not affirm that iermented WINE
was production OF the Devil,
and that 1t was a curSes Did he
not affirm that the Savior never
made nor Iused lermented wine,
and those who said that he did
were guilty OF blasphemy 7
Did not Mr.. Johnson endorse
MIR. Biggs in all these afirma.
tionsi The question then is
not whether thewine the Bible
sanctions is identical with the
intoxicating drinks of the pres
ent day, v hich embraces aIlthe
bad whisky and other distilled
liquors, as well as all the imi-
talion wines and other poisoned
drinks, as Mr. johnson has SAID,
but the question is whether fer
mented wine made Of the pure
juice Of the grape in the natpr.
al way, without any additions
of poisonous drugs or liquors,
OF any kind is a production Of
the devil9 Il it pronounced a
curse by the authority of the
BibleG Did the Savior never
make nor use any such fer
mented wine, and is it BIAS
phemy to say that he did ?
These are the questions nm
der discussion, these are the
sweeping declarations which Mr..
Biggs made wi en- he appealed
to the Bible to prove those
affirmations. Why has Mr..
Johnson studiously evaded
those points, why in the whole
Of his long article did he not
dare to repeat one Of these
affirmalons, but has all the
time been hacking at side is
sues, keeping up a constant
skirmish out In the brush, and
trying 10 divert attention from
the main question by crying,
Intoxicating liquor, INToxtcAr-
Inc LIoUoRl He reminds me of
a boy playing at building a
statue Of snow, Tor the fun OF
pelting it down again with
snow-talls, Tor he has been all
the time building imaginary
statues representing the Sa-
vior and his disciples drinking 6
intoxicating liquors, aud then
with wonderful gusto, sets to
work to batter the image down
again with bombastic argu
ments, Why all this lodging the
question: The answer is PLAIN
enough. The ground that Mr..
Biggs took on all those points
is Intenable, and well does Mr..
johnson know ii He knows
that those assertions are false
aud neither he nor Mr.. Bigge
dare repeat them, much less
try to prove them.
Hence for him to try tc
squirm out of the real question
at issue like an eel out Of a neI
where he has the affirmative

SUPREME COURT GENERAL TERM
PROCEEDINGS.

The General Term Of the Supreme Court al.
journed for the term yesterday till the 23d OF De-
cember, having meantime disposed Of all the
cases down to and including 13l on the days
calendar. With this information lawyers can over
haul their calendar catechsm and make q note on
Il. Among the cases on the day calendar was one
in which John Percy, the celebrated ntigant,
made q certain motion. This Is the gentleman
who had the famous trouble with Judge Barnard
and went to Ludlow Street jail, and was alter
wards disbarred as an attorney. and his
case Is reported ih Court Of Appeals Reports. He,
however, appeared In q case in which ne was per-
sonaily plaintiff. The Court refused his applica-
ton, Judge Davis making caustic reference 20
the maxim ABOUT the fool and the client, and
mulcting him in $50 COSTS The only other case
OF general interest was the argument upon the
Writ OF Error through which is asked q new
trial for Messrs. oliver Charlick and Hugn
Gardner, the Police Commissioners VINO
came to legal and political grief It was
conceded however, on the argument by A. Oakley
Hall, then counsel. and District Attorney Phelps
tnat the General Term must arilrm the conviction,
because In the case OF the People VS.. Bogart, re-
issue in the pending case, had been determined at
an old General Term adversely to the point now
raised for the defendants. Boqart was police
justice, who bailed q man without gi wing the no.
tice to the District Attorney, and the General
Term held that o notice being necessary, his not
giving it, although innocentiy or inadvertently,
was an offence. The point of intention. however,

self jusined, both from my reading and personal
experience, IN making this statement-that no
grand jury or criminal court, In this or any other
State In the Union, mas ever transacted 80 much
great and important business In so brief period ;
and 1t becomes my agreeable duty to convey to
the high appreciation which this Court entertalns

End Of the First Trial of Isaac Eadeau,

Yesterday morning, at nine O'Clock, the jury In

Isaac Badeau came into court, and, IN answer to
the query OF Frank Malllson Clerk OF the Court, as
to whether they had agreed upon verdict, re-
piled in the negative. Tue foreman said 1t was
impossible for them TO do so, as they had tried
every means. One OF the Jurors said:-"four
Honor, nine OF our number agreed on the follow

had been erasures and new figures written over
the original amounts. None Of these erasures
were, however, In DEFENDANTS handwriting. An
