The contest was severe and close, and
after the election disputes arose as to the
electoral votes of several states. The dis
pute was finally referred to commission
of five senator's, five representatives and

United States. The commission decided
by vote of to that the electoral votes
of the disputed states should be given to

majority of one over Samuel j. Tilden.
He was inaugurated March 4, 1877. After
serving one term he retired to private life
and had since lived at Fremont.

moved to dismiss for the reason the Lin

Judge Parliman. l,a..-,,-
Mr. Benedict appealed the case to the
supreme court which has lately handed
down III opinion sustaining Judge
Steiner.
This, decision is Of great importance to
the people Of the state, for if the county
court was held to have jurisdiction
throughout the state, then it left all the
people OF the state liable to be sued in
counties far distant from their. resldeace
and occasion them much trouble and ex
pense iu procuring change 70 the pro-
per county.
The Legislature last winter passed an
act providing that only county courts in
counties with twenty thousand popula-
ton should have jurisdiction ia crmina!
and civil cases. AS Minnehaha county
is the only county in the state which has
such population, then, if judge Par
llman's ruling was upheld, the Minneha-
ha county court could have jurisdiction
throughout the state with no other court
TO which to take a change. This decision
will be welcome Information to many
persons who have been sued in the MIN
nehaha county court.

TIE RELIGION OF PERSIA.
DIR. Blanchard's Third Lecture in His
Course.

Rev. DR.. Blanchard delivered the third
lecture of his course on The Religions
of the World last evening in the vestry
of Congress Square church.
Describing the ruins of Persepolis and
speaking of the Parsees in Bombay. in
the first place, he considered the topo-
graphy and climate of Persia, which
doubtless inf uenced greatly the thought
of man and did much to produce the
dualism of it's religion, and then gave
outline of the rise to power under Cyrus
Darius and Xerxes, it's conquest by
Alexander, and it's utter subjugation by
Mohammedans.
1t is a melancholy study. Greatness is
followed by ruin. The swords of Mussul-
mans overturn the Avesta and enthrone
the Koran Incorporation and the new
religion for those who remain; exile
for those who maintain the ancient faith.
But the religion is one of the greatest.
Zoraster is most shadowy of all founders
of religion. But the Zend-Avesta tell of
great soul, great thoughts.
Zoraster probably lived bout 1900 B.
G. The legends of his birth and deeds
are numerou and often absurd. But
they show the great impression he made
upon men. He first taught with power
the eternal distinction between the right
and wrong. His religion is summons
to man to do battle for the right. 1t
teaches dualism in the powers of the
world. 1t recognizes power of good
ness. Ormuzd. and a power of evil,
Ahriman. These are in inperpetual con.
fict. But both have come from the
Eternal, Zernana Akerana. Scholars say
Indivisible One Ormuzd created a
glorious world. Arihman filled it with
impurity and gloom. In shape of ser.
pent, he fell upon the earth. But Zoraster
taught that the good will at last prevail
there shall be purified universe.
DR.. Blanchard then showed the great
influence of this religion on Judaism and
Christianity. Before the captivity at
Babylon, the Jews were worshippers of
many gods, had no malevolent Satan,
saw no angels, believed not in immortal
ity. The devil and his angels, the
resurrection of the body as Pharisees
taught, came from contact with Persia's
religion. He also dwelt on Mithraism
the doctrine of the god Mithra who was
worshipped as mediator, and
showed how much this cult influenced
Christianity. The great defect of
Zorasteranism is this, it makes a god
the author of evil. knowledge today
shows that evil is incidental and inevi-
table in the development of goodness and
holiness. But the great glory of the
religion of Persia is that it emhasized
the eternal difference between right
and wrong and and summons every man
to battle strenuously for the right.
