church into disrepute, are worthy of but
little consideration, and the sooner the
churches now burdened with debt are sold
under the hammer and the congregations
forced to seek accommodations suitable for
the purposes of worship and within their
means, the better it will be for the cause of
Christ. We cannot believe that thanksgiv-
ing and praise will prove acceptable to God
when spoken in church burdened with
debt. Prayers uttered in such an edifce
will rise no higher than the ceiling.
We commend to the Protestant churches
the example, worthy of all imitation, of the
church of Rome. No edifcs is ever con-
secrated to the service Of religion by Catho-
lie prelate that is not absolutely free from
debt. Their churches, too, are built with a
view to encourage instead of repel the at
tendance of the poor, and to these facts may
in great extent be attributed the wonderful
growth of Romanism in this country.

afternoon Session.

Upon re-;,ssembling for the afternoon Judge
Page continued his testimony, the examination
being IN relation to the specifications to the
tenth article. Of the alleged barn yard con-
versaton betwee himself and McIntire
Judge Page said he had no reco lection of ever
seeing Mr.. Mclntire on his premises, and he
asserted that the alleged conversation was a
fabrication from beginning to end. AS to the
reported quarrel in the clerks Office. Judge
Page said he had noticed McIntire on several
occasions trying to listen to what he was say
ing to the clerk. and on the occasion alluded
to, he spoke to him about the improprietv of
his conduct, and he presumed McIntre answered
back in the language sworn to.
Judge Page also said he did not recollect of
his sending French from the courtroom and
was positive that no such language as attributed
to him was used in the connection stated. He
did at that term Of court call the attention Of
attorneys to the necessity of their being in at
tendance to attend TO their cases when they
came up, but thera was nothing personal to Mr..
French.
Of the Geo. Baird matter Judge Page testified,
Saturday night, May 80, 1874
At this point Mr.. Clough entered objection to
any testimony relating to the so-called whisky
riots as not material, and opening the door to a
flood of testimony which would greatly extend
the trial.
Senator Nelson moved the Senate 60 into
Mr.. Davis, of counsel, argued that the fifth
article related exclusively to respondents ac-
ton at the time of the so-called whisky riots.
and that article had been as fully adopted
as any article presented by the House
and any evidence calculated to give
light to that transaction was material
He then renewed the motion to quash
the fifth article together with specification
three, but upon the motion being Withdrawn
for a secret session. Withdrew it.
After some discussion the proposition was
submitted that evidence might be received as
to that riot SO far as it was material to the
fifth article and the third specification of ar
ticle ten, and the proposition adopted II
to 5.
Senator Pillsbury offered q resolution that
no testimony be received as to the whisky
riots.
Senator Armstrong moved to lay the resolu-
ton the table. Adopted, yeas IL, mays 10.
Senator Nelson moved an order that the ex-
animation Of witness proceed, and that his
| answers be to questions asked.
On motion, recess of ten minutes was
taken.
Coming to order, respondents counsel re-
neWed the motion to quash article five, and
specification three of article ten. in support of
| which Messrs. Losey, Davis and Clough briefly
| argued the matter from their respective stand
points, after which, upon motion of Senator
| Nelson, the Senate went into secret session to
consider the questions raised.

the petition was circulated during the term
OF court. / finally received q COPY of the
petition. was surprised at it's contents. Am
OF the opinion and was then, that it was never
intended to present it to me, but sinply gotten
up to create disturbance. Upon inquiry. I
learned that Mr.. Stimson, a deputy sheriff.
had been circulating the petition I consid-
cred the action a gross libel: as do still, prop
eriy punishable, and issued my warrant for
his arrest. knew of no authority for calling
upon the county attorney to conduct the prose-
cut1on. and having understood that he was one
OF the lnstlgators OF the petition, thought it
would be dangerous to place a prosecution in
his hands. AT the prosecution, 1 found the
witnesses averse to testifying, and in order to
get at the facts, the interrogatories took a wide
range, by which it was brought out that the
petition was joint production Of number Of
persons, the result of meetings held in the
Office of Crandall & French. Some of the wit
nesses, who before the examination, had told
me about stimson circulating the petition,
would not testify positively. At
tile examination learned for the first time of
another and milder petition, not ibellous as
the tlrst was acknowledged by some to be, and
tins complicated the examination very much.
Mr. Stlmson's defense was he had,not actively
engaged IN the circulation; that he did not un-
derstand the unlawful nature of the act. and
that he had been led into the matter by other
parties. In a private conversation with Slim.
son III regard to his act, told him in a general
way that persons who would thus conspire to-
gether to libel judge and thus destroy his in
huence We're better than the Younger
brothers. used the words Younger brothers
simply as matter of illustration, and Ibid not
use the name of any person in the connection.
1t was simply an illustration. After the exam
ination Mr. Sti1ns son remained in my Office for
few minutes, and then expressed to me his
entire satisfaction at my course. and reiterated
the statement that he was led into it thought
lessly and without properly understanding its
nature. MIR Cameron, his attorney. also
stated to me that had been perfectly fair and
impartial in the matter.
At this point the court took recess to 2

The author of ''Beautiful Snow says an
exchange, is the highest female Mason in
the world. BY the way, who is the author
of the poem? A man named Sigourney
claimed it; Adele Potter, Alice Cary, Jean
Ingelow, John G. Whittier, Wendell Holmes,
Walt Whitman and Joaquin Miller are
charged with it's authorship; while Henry
Ward Beecher, Mrs. Woodruff and Stanley
Matthews are suspected. Until this ques-
ton is settled we must be pardoned for
doubling that the author of Beautiful
Snow is the highest female Mason in the
world, for the author is not female-or at
least not all of that sex.

ENGLAND was distracted by the prospect

ENGLAND was distracted by the prospect
of gigantic war with Russia, scarcely any
hope of averting it being entertained by
cabinet, commons or people 1t may be
readily imagined how anxious the represen-
tatives of the people must have been; how
they conferred together on the means neces-
sary to preserve peace, or if war was newt
able, to win victory, subordinating all per-
sonal interests to the public good. Inc
British statesman is proverbial for his devo-
ton to the interests of his people, and we
must not allow the fact that Parliament adj
journod an important debate that its mem
beers might be able to attend the Derby to
shake our faith in their character.
