The undersigned, who were appointed

McCutchcon, who has just died, and to
pay the proper respect due to his memo
ry as member Of the legal fraternity
and as lawyer Of the Winchester Bar,
beg leave to submit the following, and
request that the same be adopted
While we recognize that for reasons
unknown to us the Almighty in His
wisdom, has taken Judge McCutcheon
from amongst his family and friends,
and requires his presence beyond the
grave, and while we deeply regret his
demise and mourn his death, we bow in
humble submission to the inevitable de-
cree and commend his spirit to God who
cave it, and have hope that, although
dead she lives again" and that through
the mercy Of Him "who doeth all things
wclw he is safe from harm or molesta-
ton through eternity. He was II kind
and afcctcnatc husband and father.
He was steadfast friend. He was
strong in his convictions Of what he
thought to be right. He did not court
popularity, and was outspokcn in his
opinions.
It is resolved that we tender to his
wife and children our expressions of
gricfat their loss, and deeply sympathizc
with them in their bereavement.
BE i. further resolved, That copy Of

lngersoiI on Sunday Laws.
From the Louisville August


Pagan Bob Ingersoll, ip his lecture at
Macauley's Theatre the other night,
touched somewhat on the Sunday ques-
ton, to the edifcation and amusement
of the audience. Feeling that the pub
lie would like to read his views on this
subject little more extensively, no
matter how absurd they may seem to
many, an Argus representative suggest
ed to Col. Bob the other day that he
crafty the apparent desire Of the pub
lie. And he communicated thusly:
at is law that ought to have been
passed, if ever, hundred years ago. |
think it Of great Importance to the
cause of free thought to utterly doaway
with the idea of the sacredness Of any
day. A space Of time cannot be holy
any more than a vacuum can be pious.
That day is the best day in which man
kind has been the happiest, that day is
the best in which have been done the
greatest number Of loving deeds. The
idea of pleasing an Infinite Being by
sitting still is too preposterous for argu-
ment. God ought not, it seems to me,
to bcgrudge his children the little hap
piness they get here. / do not believe
that it would excite the wrath Of an In
finite Being to see father and mother,
accompanied by their children, walking
through green and pleasant fields, or
wandering in shady woods. | do not be-
lieve it would detract from the happi.
ness of heaven to see a fellow ri
ding out with a girl he loves on Sun
day, and | do not think that even the
arch-angels would look particularly sour
to see a boy on that sacred day riding in
a boat or flying kite. There's room
enough in heaven for kites and angels
too"

Chief Judge Church, Of New York
died Il few days since, and .hc New York
sun mourns his loss in the following
strain;
Sanford f. Church, Chief Judge Of
the Court Of Appeals, died suddenly at
his residence in Albion, Yesterday.
No greater loss to the State Of New
York could have occurred. lie was II
firm believer in the rights of the peo-
pie, and in written Constitutions as the
sure protection Of rights.
In the oyermastcring rush Of emo
tions-in the sense Of personal grief;
heightened and intensified by public
considcrations-we can hardly attempt
IN analysis Of his personal and political
career.
Indeed, we sincerely feel that it mat
tiers little when and where he was born
or when and how he died. Elevated to
the highest judicial position in the State,
in the performance Of his duties in that
position he summoned to his aid all the
laws and all the traditions of our Gov
crnmcnt.
Every poor man and every rich man
every man in whatever position
may well feel that in the death of Chief
Judge Church he has lost the best and
most potent friend he had in the State.
Who can do justice to his memory
who can pronounce his eulogy?
In cold calculation of his relative
merits we cannot indulge. The people
should all be in tears for his loss.
Friend of the rights Of the people
friend of constitutional law, farewell
Dur heart is with You in the coffin and
he grave.
The spring violets are not so fragrant
IS your constitutional decisions shall be-
One in the nostrils of the people!
Sleep in your eternal rest ! Your
pinions shall live in the respect and af-
ections of free people-aided by
hem in the maintenance OF their free
ON.
We are overborne by mourning to- .
ny. Few such lovers of human rights i
nd human liberties have been born i
'wer have occupied judicial positions. !,
Heaven reveals not where YOU are to-
ny; hut if, as We believe, YOU live, 7
herever you live, there our respect
nd affections are with you'll &.
