THERE Is nothing like making a virtue

Itself on the money it will save by not

IN the trial Of the Salvation Army at
Ne" Haven, charged with breach of the
peace by making disturbing noise ia the
public squares Of that city, an allegation
was made that the songs sung by the Army
were blasphemous. Permission was then
asked aud granted for tue singing of a
specimen hymn in open court, aud tho
judicial mind seemed to incline to the
opinion that the charge of blasphemy
could not be sustained. Whether the

reflection to the matter before rendering
Judgment.
NAH mes situation at present Is by no

senatorial seat as kind of mongreI
Republican who, since his fortunes are

straightout Republicans of Virginia, will
have none of him, as they resolved at
their convention on Tuesday "that Ma
honelsm is failure aud dead beyond

him crushed and great detection has
been noticeable among his own follower,
since the result Of the last election. I'm
