BLACK AND INGERSOLL,

Another Religious View of the Discussion.
New York Independent.
1t may be a question whether Mr.. Black,
having entered the lists, was not bound to
a little more courtesy than is implied in
the police view of his task but, however
that may bc. Mr.. Ingersoll has nothing
more to complain of, and Mr.. Blacks
handling might even raise doubt in his
mind whether he can complain of that.
Judge Black does not take up tho GueS-
clergyman. In scholarship he may claim,
without self praise, to be, at least, the
equal of his opponent ; but the character
in which he writes is not this, but that of
the plain, honest, sensible citizen, tho
character VIC may observe in which religion
is of the most importance to man and in
which he is best qualified to sit as judge
and decide in it's claim.
Mr.. Black performs his duty we'll, wi til
his eye on tho jury and not allowing his
words to wander from the case. He puts
his case in clear, massive way, and sup
ports it by arguments which are we'll
charged with the true wisdom of life and
which wise and serious minds will not fail
to appreciate.
1t was not necessary for Judge Black to
undertake any apology for slavery. any
moro than for polygamy but Mr.. Inger
soil is inexcusable for failing to see or, at
least, to confess, first, that Christianity
grew out Of Judaism, and next, that, as
Christianity dominates the world, men
not only become aware of the turpitude of
such customs as polygamy and slavery,
but they vanish away.

COnccrnlng Babies.

On the 10th of June the two. year old
child of Ernest Poyette, Matteawan, N. Y,
was shot in the head. The little one was
sleeping in its cradle, when ball from a
pistol fired 200 feet away passed through a
wooden partition and into the child's head
ON the right side near the forehead. The
ball has never been found or removed.
Four days after the shot was fired the
child had terrible convulsions, lasting four
hours, and when these ceased it was oh
served that its left side was paralyzed.
The cOnvulsions continued eight days,
then ceased. and now this tough little
specimen of humanity is getting we'll. Its
mind is apparently as good as ever. 1t
talks, and eats heartily. But the left side
is totally paralyzed.
Two babies were born in the same house
at Oakland, Tenn. The mothers were
sisters, closely resembling each other,
and the infants were both girls. In the
excitement of the occasion the little ones
got mixed, and this happened before they
had been dressed, or in any other way
marked for Identification. There seems
to be no way out of the uncertainty, for
three months have passed without develop
ing any resemblance to the father in either
case and if the children grow up, as they
seem likely to, with the physical charac-
teristics of their mothers, nobody will ever
know their exact parentage. The present
agreement is to decide the question by lot.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
DISSOLVED.


The Sprecher vs.. SensonlS Injunction.
In the matter of the preliminary injunc-
ton of Lewis Sprccher VS.. Levi Sensenig
ct al argument was heard this morning
before Judge Patterson in chambers.
After hearing the parties, attorneys, their
allegations, speeches and arguments, the
judge dissolved the injunction and sent
Levi Sensenig on his way rejoicing to shut
up the "ancient lights" of the Snapper
Box and the entrance to the saloon in the
rear. Tom Davis indulged in some touch
ing eloquence when pointing the finger of
scorn at Sensenig he exclaimed-"I have
heard Of and even witnessed the hard
heartedness of man !; I have seen tho father
driven by unmanly children into the street
to starve, and the gentle wife abused by
her husban but never till now have seen
an attempt, in this free country, where we
can enjoy our easements in peace, to shut
up the rear end Of saloon and wips out
ancient privileges.
OF course tho decision Of the judge is
not final-as = masters examination of and
report upon the facts and decision of the
full bench may conclude that Sensenig' s
obstruction must come down. J. Hay
Brown represented Sensenig, and the law
cited in his argument fully sustained the
judge SO far as the technical questions
arose on the bill and answer for the pre-
liminary INDUCTION. Nothing outside of
these pleadings could be considered by the
court.
As tho readers of the INTELLIGENCER
know already, the obstruction Sensenig is
building, is board partition aside of tho
upper back porch of GrOff's hotel, entirely
obscuring the view of the Leopard hotel; in
the alley way and making it incOnvenient
for visitors to GrOff's saloon to enter the
back way. How twill end, depends upon
the evidence, and ,ohen, upon the slow pace
of legal proceedings, rs disputed facts, con-
cerning the right Of SenseniS to build
within three feet of the Sprecher property
arc involved, which must first be detir-
mined before the court can finally settle
the law of the case.

put.
