pounds of free silver ore from Silver
Cliff, Colorado, from which, with

thirty dollars per ton, yielded by the

ninety dollars per ton, at an expense
of less than one dollar per ton to

treating their religion with contempt
No community such as ours can exist
as healthy moral organization, where
men are allowed to speak without chal-

the overruling power of God. When
we dethrone His majesty and erect in
His place our own notions of right

evil, for no candid man can pretend
that our impulses are not rather to-
ward the qualification rather than in
restraint of our passions. ;" His Honor
added that blasphemy was an ancient
common-law offence. and was also
made a crime by a Delaware statute as
