Chicago, June 6-Judge Smith at Ottawa, has reudsred a decision in the Evangelical Church dispute growing out of tbe trouble at Naperville, where tbe trustees locked the church against tbe Auti Esher ministers. In it he finds that legal steps in accordance with church dicipline bad resulted iu Bishop Esher's suspension. Iu view of this the judge thinks Esher bad no right to preside over the Illinois conference and that body acted in strict conformity to the discipline in appointing a presiding officer, and if their proceedings therein were regular all were bound by acts and if the ministers sent out with the seal of that conference at tached to their certificate were tbe appointed ministers sent to their respective districts, he does not see an reasonable cause to doubt tbeir authority. So the injunction was made perpetual against the trustees.

The country needed an expansion of the currency in a safe way, which this bill prey ided. Mr. Walker's Strung Ward, Mr.

Walker, of Massachusetts, denied that there was business depression because of low prices. There was not a solitary fact that justified the statements made in favor of free coinage.

Any man or party thut put the country on a silver basis would be sunk in eternal ln-faiuy. The Half Mile Rceord Broken.
