Whether or not the judgment there rendered was technically warranted—and H was reached by some at least of unimpeachable integrity; some, at least, who might have been mistaken—I think they were—but who would not unknowingly be unjust or untrue, yet there cannot be a doubt that a very large and influential portion of our community, and well nigh our Whole land, hold it to have been there demonstrated that Charleston holds nothing more cheap than human life; that truth has been stricken down in what should have been its very citadel; that one loss was a public calamity has been stealthily done to death under circumstances that sicken the heart hears the recital of them, whilst? the wanton and worse than worthless slayer goes forth not only unseatlied of penalty, but applauded by some as a well doer.

Johnson, her stepson, came home she complained of Nutt's conduct, and Johnson upbraided Nutt Nutt drew his 44-caliber revolver and promptly opened fire. The first ball grazed Johnson's thigh and the second hit Thomas Watson, shattering the shin bone. Nutt then ran into the street and was pointed out to Officer Daniel Shea. The policeman gave chase, and Nutt turned and fired two shots in quick succession. The fi st missed the officer, but hit a little colored boy named Ira Mitchell under the left eye. The wound is not dangerous. The second shot also missed its mark, but was fired at such close quarters that the blase fRDm the mouth of the pistol burned the officer's eyebrow. The bullet hit another boy about a block away. Nutt was not disposed to yield his liberty, and, finding his weapon empty, began a terrific struggle with the officer, biting, scratching and kicking with all his might.

I propose to address myself to such. There we those in this audience who, jrlth every passion of their agonised aoul, are ready to hear such a discussion. They compare themsetvea with what they were ten years ago, and cry out from the bondage in which they are incarcerated. Now, if there be qtiy here, come with an earnest purpose, yet feeling they are beyond the of Christian sympathy, and that the sermon can hardly be expected to address them, then, at this moment, I givp thein niy right and call them brother.

The chureh is ready ta spread a banquet at your return, and the hierarohs of heaven to fall into line of bannered prooeesion at the news of your emancipation. So far as God may help me, I propose to show what are the obstacles of your return, and then how you are to surmount those obstacles. The first difficulty in the way of your return is the force of moral gravitation. Just as there is a natural law which brings down to the earth anything you throw into the air, so there is a corresponding moral gravitation. In other words, it is easier to go down than it is to go up; it is easier to do wrong than it is to do right Call to mind the comrades of your boyhood dayD —some of them good, some of them bad— which most 'affected yon! Gall to mind the anecdotes that you h»v« heard in the last five or ten years—some of them are pure and some of them Impure. Which the more easily sticks to your memory? During the years of your life you have formed certain courses of oonduct—some of them good, some of them bad. To which style of habit did you the more eastyy yield? Ah, my friends, we have to.tftke but a moment of self inspection to find put that there is in all our souls a force of moral gravitation! But that gravitation may be resisted. Just as you may piok up from the earth something and hold it in your hand toward heaven, just so, by the power of God's grace, a soul fallen may be lifted toward peace, toward pardon, toward heaven, Force of moral gravitation in every one of us, but power in God's grace to overcome that force of moral gravitation.

I have also to say that If a man wants to return from evil practices society repulses him. Desiring to reform he says, "Now, I will shake off my old associates, and I will find Christian companionship." And he appears at the ohurch door some Sabbath day, and the usher greets him with a look, as much as to say, "Why, you here? You are the last man I ever expected to see at church I Come, take this seat right down by the door!" Iostead of saying, "Good morning; I am glad you are here. Come; I will give a first rate seat, right up by the pulpit" Well, the prodigal, not yet discouraged, enters the prayer meeting, and some Christian man with more zeal than common sense, says, "Glad to see you. The dying thief was saved, and I suppose there" is mercy for you!" The young man, disgusted, ohilled, throws himself back on his dignity, resolved he never will enter the house of God again. Perhaps not quite fully discouraged about reformation, he sides up by some highly respectable man he used to know going down the street, and immediately the respectable man has an errand down some other street I Well, tbe prodigal, wishing to return, takes some member of a Christian association by the hand, or tries to. The Christian young man looks at him, looks at the faded apparel and the marks of dissipation, and instead of giving him a warm grip otthe hand, offers liim the tip end of the long fingers of the left hand, which is equal to striking a man in the face.

The result of the recent trial in this city seems to fall very far short of any censure of homicide. It has failed to condemn crime, to vindicate God's law, or to protect human life against the murderous pistol That a human life has been taken by violence is an acknowledged fact, and the tribunals of justice have no word of censure for the deed. The slayer is restored to his place, without condemnation of any sort, without fine, imprisonment or any legal disapproval of the wrong. The murderer pollutes the land beyon i all other evil deeds, and leaver an indole stain in G Dd's sight. Nor can this blood stain be obliterated uutil it is washed out with the blood of him that shed it. Mercy to the mu. derei* is cruelty to the community.

Washington, July 22.—Army officers are thinking of some way to prevent desertion, which of late years seems to be on the increase. Some time ago, it was stated, upon what was deemed excellent authority, that President Harrison would issue a proclamation giving general amnesty to all deserters, such as was done when Gea. Grant was president, in 1874 But up to this writing the order ha* not appeared, although Senator Plumb and others of its advocates have received assurance from the president that it will be dona. To the average layman the issuing of such an order looks like putting a premium on desertion. But the promoters of this idea argue that there aro thousands of young men in the west who enlisted  assumed names, and then, tiring of the service, deserted; that this fact still over them and acts as a bar to their business pros-' pects in the future, for fear of soma day being hauled up by the military authorities. In order to prevent, if possible, the re-aulisbmentof men who have deserted from the army three or four times, it is no w proposed to adopt an old custom that formerly prevailed in the army. When a recruit now presents himself to the surgeons and is passed, the doctor will proceed to vaccinate him upou a certain portion of the body, which will, of course, be known to the army surgeons. Should this man desert the service and present himself at some recruiting rendezvous under an assumed name, as is done nearly every week, the fact that he is a deserter from the army will be clearly established. By the adoption of tBis simple method it is believed that the great evil of desertion which has become such a scu -co of worry and trouble to the officers will be mitigated, if not finally wiped out.

The next thing in the way o( your return is the power of evU habit. 1 know there are those who say it ia very easy tor them to give up evil habits. I do not believe them. Here is a man given to intoxication. He knows it ia disgracing his family, destroying his property, ruining him, body, mind and soul. If that man, being an intelligent man, and loving his family, could easily give up that habit; would he not do sol The fact that he does not give it up proves it is hard to give it up. It is a very easy thing to sail down stream, the tide carrying you with great force; but suppose you turn the boat up stream, is it so eaay then to row it! As long as we yield to the evil inclinations in our hearts, and our bad habits, we are sailing down stream; but the moment we try to turn, we put our boat in the rapids just above Niagara, and try to row up stream. Take a man giv«n to the habit of using tobacco, as most of you do, and lot him resolve to stop, and he finds it very difficult. Twenty .seveu years ago I quit that habit, and I would as sooa dare to put'my right hand in the tire as once to Indulge in it. Why? Because it was such a terrific struggle to get over it. Now, let a man be advised by Bis physician to give up the use of tohaooo. He goes around not knowing what to do with himself. He cannot add up a line of figures. He cannot sleep nights. It seems as if the world had turned upside down. He feels his business is going to ruin. Where he was kind and obliging lie ill scolding and fretful. The oompoKure that characterized him has given way to a fretful restlessness, and he has become a complete fidget. What power is it that has rolled a wave of woe over the earth and shaken a portent in the heavens! He has tried to stop smoking or ehewlng! After a while he says, "I am going to do as I please. The doctor doesn't understand my case. I'm going back to my old habit" And he returns. Everything assumes its usual oomposure. His business seems to brighten. The world becomes an attractive place to live in. Hi* children, seeing the difference, hail the return of their father's genial disposition. What wave of color has dashed blue into the sky and greenness into the mountain foliage, and the £low of sapphire into the sunset! What enchantment has lifted a world of beauty and Joy on his soul! He has gone baok to tobacco I Cleveland, July 22.—Two young criminals escaped from the county jail about 8:80 p. m. They were W. A. Smith, held for grand larceny, and Richard N. Mansfield, • horse thief. Deputy sheriffs and policemen started on their trail and shortly after midnight the two men in a buggy were overhauled by a detachment of pursuers. Revolvers were drawn, a score of shots were exchanged and Deputy Sheriff Goldsoll, one ol the best criminal officers that ever served in the city, fell with a wound that will probably prove fatal. Tbe men in the buggy drove away. Siiortjy afterward the buggy was found abandoned with the body of a young man at first supposed to be Smith ip it. Later it developed that it was not Smith; and up to a late hour the body has not beep identified. The police believe that the twe young men in the buggy wa?e bent on some unlawful mission The wounded deputy sheriff is lying at the point of death in s hospital.  Supposing that a paper of tacks is wanted onboard a United States ship on a foreign station, the following is the routine actually required under general order, No. 48: Four requisitions are made out, which are signed as follows; Officer making the requisition, 4 times; captain, 8; paymaster, 8, and adm ral, 4. Bids are sent out to five merchants which are signed by pay officer 5 times; merchants bidding, 5; acceptance of bid, paymaster L Bills then made out in quintuplicate aud are signed by the captain 5 times; paymaster, W; senior officer of the board of inspection 5, and person receiving the money, 5. A report is attached by the senior officer of the bocu-d of survey, in duplicate, two signatures, and the officer who has made the requisition signs a receipt on the bill five times, w hen it is complete with sixty-twosignatures. This iscalled simplification of methods, and protecting the government by a so-called system of checks and balances.  To f.yBch H|mlCilp|il Murderers. New ORLBAH8, July Sift—The Picayune's Vicksburg special saysj A dispatch from Qiinton, La,, States that three of the five negroes who murdered Pratorion a few months ago were oaptured at Red River junction, brought to Clinton and will be lynched at the scene of the murder. The pursuit of the Pitts murderers at Pantherburn still continues, but persons arriving from the vicinity say that no more captures have been made. I think men also are often hindered from return by the fact that churches are too anxious about their membership and too anxious about their denomination, and they rush out when they see a man about to give up hfe sin and return to God, and ask him how he is going to be baptized, whether by sprinkling or by immersion, and what kind Of a church he is going to join. Gh, my friends! it ij ;i poor timo to talk about Frerv, byterian cnteohisms, and Episcopal liturgies, and Methodist love feasts, and baptisteries to a man that is coming out of the darkness of sin into the glorious light of the Qospel. Why, it reminds me of a man drowning io the sea and a lilsboat puts out for him, and the man in the coat says to the man out of the boat: "Now, if I get you ashore, are you going to live in my street f First get him ashore, and then talk (boot the non-essentials of religion. Who Cares what church he joins, if he only joins Christ and starts for heaven! Oh, you ought to have* my brother, an illumined face, and a hearty grip for every one that tries to turn from his evil way I Take hold of the same book with him, though his dissipations shake the book, remembering that he that converteth a sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul from death, and hide a multitude of sins.

In the meanwhile the government penalty of $60 per day for every day the vessel is delayed is still being pail into the treasury by the Union Iron works, of San Francisco, and it is to their interest, troin a financial point of view, at least, to hurry up the work on the fillip.

I remember in the war I was at Antietam and I went into the hospitals after the battle, and I said to a man, "Where are you hurt J* He no answer, but held up his arma swoUea and splintered. I saw where ha fM hurt The simple tact is, when a man haa % wounded soul, %tt he has to do is to hold it up before a sympathetic Lord and get it healed. It doss not take any long prayer. Just hold HP the wound.
