Beauregard's article in the Century
on the subject of The Battle of Bull
Run says that jeff Davis was timid when
boldness was required, and rash when
caution should have been consulted, and
that he was narrow-minded, stupid and
ignorant in regard to military plans.
1t has become fashionable among ex-
confederate officers to abuse Jeff Davis
and make him a scapegoat for every
misfortune, but it is doubtful if any of
them, placed in the same circumstances
could have been more efficient. Certain
it is that the result would have been
the same whoever might have been
placed at the head of the defunct con-
confederacy.

The New Synod of Dakota.

The synod of Dakota, which was created by
IN act of the Presbyterian general assembly
while in session at Saratoga, n. Y, last May,
leld its first meeting at Huron, Oct 8 and Is.
Rev. Walter S. Peterson, the oldest minister
n point Of residence in the territory, preached
the opening sermon, and constituted the synod
according to ecclesiastical law and usage.
This the only synod in the United States COM
posed Of both foreign and home missionaries,
the presbytery of Dakota being composed of
ten Indian churches, two Of which are foreign
mission churches, and the remaining eight
home mission churches. .
The presbyteries of Aberdeen, Central Da-
kota, and Southern Dakota, complete the list
of presbyteries comprising the synod The
synod numbers forty-eight ordained ministers,
three licentiates; mas seyenty-tWo churches
organized, with q total membership of two
thousand, with thirty eight houses of wor-
ship built and in process of erection, and over
2,700 SABBATH school members. The first
Presbyterian church organized in Dakota
was at Dell Rapids twelve years ago. This
was the beginning of the work, which has
resulted in the creation of q synod for
the territory. Nearly all of this marvellous
growth has taken place In the last six years,
and the last year and a half has been an
especially prosperous season for the churchln
the Territory. The synod receives under its
care, from the old presbytery of Southern Min
nesota, the Pierre university, and it is to be re-
marked in this connection that no synod OF the
Presbyterian church can boast of having had
SO early In its history such an institution as
this. Pierre university commenced upon its
second year Sept 10, 1884, on which day the
corner stone of the new building was laid with
appropriate ceremonies. The building is 5Ox
rs feet, four stories, stone foundation
and brick walls, and will stand fifty six feet
high from basement floor to ceiling of upper
story. 1t will cost about $20,000, and will be
paid for when completed 1t is called Nc
Cormick hall, in honor of Hon. Cyrus II NC
Cormick, deceased, whose benegicence enables
the trustees to complete the building free OF

now under charge of Rev. I. M. Findley as
president, with a corps of competent assistants

A Prohibition Decision from the Supreme
Court.

Dubuque Special Telegram, Oct A-Ihe
first case resulting from the operation OF the
prohibition law in Iowa was decided by thesu'
preme court to-day-W. Bert Albertson ap,
reliant, vs.. George Kriechbaum, sheriff. The
plaintiff was ARRESTED on a warrant issued by
Justice Stahl Of Burlington on a charge
OF violating the prohlbltory law. AlDeTt'
son asked for q change OF venue, aiie6lu5
that he could not obtain justice before
Stahl. also making some allegation IN
reference to other Justices IN the same toWh-
ship. The accused was then taken Delore
Justice COnlev. when he filed a motion to dis
miss the case on the ground that the J9slce
had no jurisdiction to try the case, he not belhS
the nearest Justice to Stahl, and that the latter
act was unlawful. The motion was OYerruled
Albertson was fined 500 and costs, in all
Sl52. 60, and in default of payment was sent 10
iaiL. The opinion is by Judge Reed. The
Judge holds that
Justices of the peace have jurisdiction, not
withstanding the amount Of fine provided 1oI
800 and costs, and holds that the costs are
merely incidental to the proceedings. They III
no proper sense pertain to the penalty. Iho
power TO tax the costs to defendant exists IN
dependentlv of the statute IN question. Inc
provision with reference to imprisonment or
the defendant does not empower the court 10
imprisOn him in punishment for his Onehse.
The provision IN the Judgment 1Or MS commit
ment is conditional and contingent. 1t can
only be enforced in case of his refusal to per
form the pecuniary judgment against him.
Its Office, like that Of the provision for execu-
ton in civil judgments, is to afford the means
for the enforcement Of the judgment.
The Imprisonment is not imposed in lieu of
the fine; neither does it operate to satisfy the
Judgment for the fine and cost, however long
it may be continued. The conclusion that the
only punishment prescribed by the statute for
the offence of which defendent was accused,
is the fine which the court is empowered TO i'm
pose, follows necessarily, we think, from the
terms of the statute and that view is well sus-
tanned by the authority. We think, therefore,
that the order of the learned district judge ls
correct and it is affirmed.
The decision of the court is unanimous. 1t
is contrary to the decision made by Judge
HAYES at Muscatine about a month ago.

It goes to Chicago, whence it is distri.

first crop. The farmers can raise on
breaking, the first year. The yield per
acre is about the same as wheat. Its
cultivation involves no more labor than
that of wheat; yet, while the farmer can
get only 80 cents per bushel for his
wheat, he gets $1.10 for fax seed.
