From the Daily Of Tuesday.
NJ. E. CHURCH, SUNDAY. - The
pastor, I. Dillon, preached at IL
o'clock A. NJ. from Ephesians. ii
chap, viii verse: "By grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God. :"
Salvation implies previous danger.
Sin does kill. 1t makes its own he'll.
Better take Christ's words than those
of Farrar, Beecher or any other man:
ut is better for thee to enter into
life manned than having two hands
to go into hell, into the fire that
never shall be quenched; where
their worm dieth not, and their fire
is not quenched." There is present
salvation from sin Its guilt. power,
and pollution an actual and glori-
GUS salvation. It originated in the
grace Of God and by his grace we
are enabled to accept of it, not for
any merit of our own works, but
through faith, or trust, in Jesus
Christ. Rev. Mr.. Macfie of the
Presbyterian church preached at
night, very timely and earnest
discourse on Prov. xxx, XIV verse:
1.-The fear of man bringeth snare:
but whose putteth his trust in the
Lord shall be SAFE" /. The nature
and influence OF the fear of man. 2.
It's evil results upon those infuenc-
ed. 3. The remedy for its removal,
"Perfect love casteth out fear"
"Trust We in the Lord Jehovah; for
in Him is everlasting strength" !"
Rev. D. Bagley followed with exhor-
tation, the large audience giving
good attention to the last.
THE LIBEL CAsE.-Below We give
the opinion of the Portland Bee on
the libel case: ga few days since
we copied from the Seattle Tribune,
as q matter of news, an item charg-
ing that there was reason to believe
a certain well-known editor, of that
city, had a hand in the forgery of
the resignation of Judge Lewis,
about one year ago but Sound pa
pers received last night contain an
account of the exoneration of the
accused in manner that may prove
very serious to the accuser. It
seems the charges we're so fagrantly
unjust to the accused, Mr.. Beriah
Brown, that Mr.. Prosch, editor Of
the Tribune. was charged with ma
licious libel, and the matter laid be-
fore the grand jury now in session
at that place. The result was the
jury fornd true bill of Indictment
against Mr.. Prosch. The matter
evidently arose purely from personal
malice, as, writes q correspondent
from Seattle: The grand jury, after
full investigation of the matter,
including an examination of the
Judge himself. members of the bar.
and many others. could not find q
single witness who gave the least
color to the charge. whereupon a
true bill of indictment was presented
to the court against Thomas w.
Prosch for malicious libel"
SENTENcED.--Int the District Court
this morning, John Moss, for an at
tempt to murder Mat Peterson, was
sentenced by Judge Lewis to ten
years. Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. at hard labor. Before pro-
nouncing sentence. His Honor asked
the prisoner if he had anything to
say, when Moss answered: "Your
Honor, all I have to say is, as sure
as there is a just God in heaven, I
am not guilty of this cowardly
deed" Judge Lewis then made some
remarks as to the heiniousness of
the offense and the business OF the
verdict rendered by the jury; stat
ing, in substance. that he could not
we'll see how the verdict could have
been otherwise, that in the absence
OF any proven motive, he must ma
turally conclude it was for plunder;
that the story of shooting at a
grouse, and his subsequent fear of
mob violence were highly improb-
able; that the crime itself was even
greater than if it had been case of
manslaughter, and consequently de
serving of severe punishment; it
was a deliberate, wilful attempt to
murder. At the conclusion of his
remarks, the Judge then passed SEN
tence, as above stated. In the cases
of Quinn and Sullivan, convicted
on two indictments for grand lar
ceny, Judge Lewis sentenced the
prisoners, on the first Indictment, to
three years imprisonment, and on
the second indictment, to two years
imprisonment in the penitentiary.
making altogether five years i'm
prisonment for each prisoner.
