A "LfIIERAL RZPuLICAN" State
Convention was held at Jefferson
city, Missouri, on last Wedn!l;day.
The . Convention was held in the Hal
of the House of Representatives.and
is Fall to have been one of the "larg

were made by Governor Brown and
others, and amnesty and civil service
reform resOutions were Passed,
among them one providing for 'the

THE w a r of the factions in Louisi
ana has ceased, so far at least that
bloodshed is not now apprehended.
The'Carter wing, backed by the Cus

States Marshal, made many, threats,
organized a mob, and declared theiT
purpose to take the State House bl
assault; 'When,. however, the time
for action arrived, they found Gov

them Withit much stronger and bet

part of valor, and g r ave up the job.
As matters now"stand the Governor
and his party are evidently masters
of the situation, and we presume
they will remain so.
THE Indianapolis Journal, which
avowedly favors. the renoM [nation Of
General Grant, has the following to
tray to those who assume to read
everybody out of the Republican par
ty who decline to dance to the Conk
ling &Bing: "Gentlemen who insist
upon reading Trutnbull, Schurz,
Sumner, Logan, Tipton. Fenton, and
Patterson out of the Republican par
ty are in danger 'of overdoitt, the
business. When these distinguished
persons are driven out by the lash of
partry,discipline, an accurate census
of membership will develop the fact
thnt the Senators expelled will
`have taken friends enough with
them to.render Republican success in
a Presidential election exceedingly
problematical. A spirit of toleration
and conciliation at headquarters, and
thereabouts, is very much needed at
this juncture."
THE ti. S.a:House of Representa
tives, in adopting an amendment of
the Appropriation Committee, has
placed an embargo on the wasteful
drain of the public printing - ofdered
by the respective Departments ofltie
Government. Heretofore the print
ing has been unlimited, and last year
it amounted tq near a million of dol
lars. Hereafter each Department
must submit regular estimate+, and
the public printer will not be allow
ed to exceed the amount appropriat
ed. This is the lin;t practical reform
in the direction of reducing the im
mense volume of public printing.
The Government printing oftltvis
the largest in the world, employs
over one thousand men and women,
and uses printing ink enough to thrhi
the largest man-of-war in ditr navy,
while its Annual ex petlit! rises to the
sum of V2,04)0,0uti. tio - said Mr. Gar
th4d in the House, and he added: "A

making all applicants for official po

go far toward establishing the belief

suggested the civil service schetne

In his remarks upon the bill Mr.
Dories said"since the raising of the

true. It was not true that the Execu

of this committee or to its going to
New Orleans, nor was it true that
those people in New Orleans who
were generally supposed to be ad
verse to the Executive were opposed
to this investigation. It had been
said by some, when the resolution
was pending in the House, that it
was best not to uncover the proceed-
Inas in New Orleans; that such a
condition existed: there that they
had better not be brought to light.

by a Cheyenne letter writer, and we
inviteattention to the following :
"The court convened on Monday,
morning, and the fluttering caused.
by the . sprialing of ...ladles.. In the .
Courtroom was apparent on the out
side.. Men were curiously standing .
at the doors and windows of the
court-room to get a glimpse of the
jurors in gowns. Mrs. A., Mrs. P.,
Mrs. FL, - Mrs. lt.,'Mrs. W. and Mrs.
C, were seated inside the bar; these
only of the married ladies , of the
town being at that time eligible f 6
°Mee. As the clerk• called the roll,
the ladies answered to their names
and blushed. The docket was called
and a murder cas&selected for trial.,
After a day spentin selecting, ma,
nceuvering, challenging and passing
jurors for aiuSe, a Pry was finally
ecimpleto, with three of these ladies
in thelistr - .. Counsel Were 'too gallant
to challenge the ladies froth a jury ;
and their gallantry 'has since become
court ettiquette in 'Wyoming..
WONIEN AS JURORS.
Three days were Occupied In tak
ing testimony, and the evidence waS
nearly in when Mrs. H. was taken ;
and pronounced 'by her family
physician too unwell to sit longer on
the jury. Nature would assert itself,
and Mrs. H. had to be: excused, and
another juror drawn in her stead.—
The testimony was all retaken for
the benefit of the new juror, and
when completed a full week had been.
occupied in hearing this one case, at
an expense tr. the county of over
$l,OOO. As to the prisoner, serious
fears were entertained that he would
die on the fury's hands, rather than
wait the verdict. It is still an open
question whether these jurors are not
liable to an indictment for Inflicting
upon a fellow-being "cruel and unu
sual purfshment,vontrary to the stat
ute in suclfcase made and provided."
However,` the prisoner survived a
verdict of murder in the first degree.
It was then for the fiiSt time discov
ered that one of these jurors was not
a citizen of the ,United States. In
their modesty the, counsel for the pro
secution did not presume to ask such
an impertenent question. The only
course now was for the'court to order
a new trial. But the prisoner volun
untarily Offered to plead guilty to
murder in the second degree, and ac
cept n sentence of imprisonment for
life rather than endure another trial.
This was accepted by the court, and
Noyes went to prison• for life rather
than be tried a second time by a fe
male jury.. As to the husbands and
children of these female jurors, their
cAse was truly heart-rending. flur
lug an entire week they could neither
speak to nor communicate with their
loved and lost. At morning the
doorway of the court-room was filled
with disconsolate husbands and chil
dren waiting to catch a glimpse of/
their wives and mothers as the Sher
iff' brought the jury into court. At ,
night they would linger to gaze at
the retiring forms thatonce gladden
ed their homes and their hearts, as
they were marched off by the Sheriff
to the public hotel, to eat and spend
the night together. One husband be
came uncnntrolable, and asked the
Judge to permit his wife to go borne
and see her children and spend the
night once more. But the Judge
was inexorable, and the poor husband
returned alone to his desolate fireside
to indite a withering review of the
baneful results of Woman's Rights,
which appeared in an evening paper
on the follow ing day. His argument
wail based upon the domestic Imprac
ticability of the system. and on the
divine announcement that. it is not
good for man to be alone.
luring the entire week the ladies
and, gentlemen of the jury ate, drank
and slept under the guard t or the
Sheriff; the ladies all in one room and
the gentlemen in another communi
cating. The day on which the court"
dismissed the jury was one of rejoic
ing on the part9fthe afflicted. But
home bad lost its its Chaim for their
wives and mothers, whose hearts had
been turned by the flattery of coun
sel, a n al their heads filled with vain
am hit ions. The following week was
spent by these exemplary women
upon the street and in public place:,
telling what happened in the jury,
and what they know about criminal
law and the rules of evidence. They
remind one of a school-boy with his
first - pair of red-topped boots, or
Young. A merica with his first cigar."

"Woman's Rights" movement"

In apeordance with previous nr 6 diee
Father Stack, the now celebrated
priest of the Church of the Anuncia
tion-in I'a., delivered
a lecture in Elliott's leadenly of Mu
sic in that plum ou Thursday evening
, „tast, to a large audience composed of
,‘„eluY of the best citizens of various
4elominations, the Catholic largely
~redonaloatlog. II is lecture had
been advertised several days. The
title of it was "What my controversy
with Bishop O'Hara means." Fa
ther Stack made some severe eriti
cisms on the report of a pretended
interview with Father Kopper, the
tierinan Catholie priest of that city,
as published in the New York Her
ald. 1 I
is replies were both pithy and
witty, and created much merriment.
lle di.(11:•••04•1/ t he question of the Pow
er of the Bishops over the property
of t he churches vested in them; pass
ed briefly ovo the history of the clese
in t'ourt, and severely criticized the
Bishop's posP ion. Ho ;Stack had
placed himself outside the Chureh by
his appeal to the civil Courts.
TiA• authority relied on by the
Bishop for his attempt at summary
excommunication wzts an old bull of
the Pope declaring that any officer of
the Church. of whatever dignity . , who
for any cause whatever Should up
pr-al from ecclesiastical to civil law,
did by such an act place liimself out
side the Church. Father Shack said
the Bish o p in quoting this authority
and using it against a priest, had ex
ceeded his intention and excommu
nicated himself; for the Bishop—be
cause the Court of Lycoming county
had decided against him—had ap
pealed to the Supreme Court or. the
State. By this bull, if one was ex
communicated both were, The Bish
op could not. escape. This point bro't
a burst of applause from the audience
as the logical sequence was plain to
the comprehension of all.
Father Stack declared himself a
firm adherent to the Catholic church.
It commAndell itself to his reason as
well as to his faith. In its govQrn
ment it twpects individual rights,
and does not allow them to be arbi
trarily interfered with. It was not
a quarrel with the Church, but for
the Church. It was n demand by
the priests of the United States to be
pr9tected against the arbitrary power
of the Bishops; and to have the pro
tection of canon law here as in
Europe. This was the whole contro
versy. He did not claim to be a
Luther or a reformer outside of the
Church, nor did he intend to create
schism within It. lie only asked
that the law- of the Church be apliNl
in this country. When the Bishops
of this country wishing to retain
power as long as possible, petitioned
to the Pope to extend the time of
their rule "twenty years perpetual
ly," he refused showing thereby that
he was not favorable to its long con
tinuance, hut he did extend it "for a
time." Ile thought that ••time"
had expired and he had taken the
means to contest it.
Father Stack had spoke about an
hour In a plain, cool, deliberate
manner, and was frequently inter
rupted by applause.

_ . _
chkreviewing history as to the places
and times where and when political
National :Conventions !were held,
front which we extract the following:
It isnotewortbythat. the first Con
gressional caucus for the nomination
of Presidefithileaiididates, of which
there is any record, is said to have
been' held here in 1800. Jefferson
and Burr were: then nominated.
Again, the first political National
Convention in the country met . In
this city in 1830. It was composed
of Anti-Masons, but transacted. no
business beyond the adoption of a
resolution providing for the con'ven- .
tion of the same complexion, which
met in Baltimore in Septemer, 1831,
and nominated William Wirt for
President, and Amos Eilmaker, of
Pennsylvania, for Vice President.
Philadelphia Is also famous as
the sitting place - a the firsr'Native
-American National Convention, held
February 19, 1856, and of thn First
National Convention of the great Re
publiatn party which was destined
utterly to crush the malevolent slave
power, thereby saving the Union
from dazitruction and forever abolish
ing human slavery within its boun
daries. This convention assembled
on the 17th of June, 1856, and nom
inated John C. Fremont and William
L. Dayton. The convention called
in 1866 to organize a new- party in
the Interests of Andre* Johnson,
also met in thiS city.
The only successful 'Presidential
candidates of. the old Whig party
were nominated in Pennsylvania.
Harrison was nominated' at Ifarris
burg." December 4, 1839, and Taylor
in Philadelphia, June 7,4848.
Previous to 1831, the two parties—
Federalist and-Republican or Demo
cratic— into which the nation was di
vided, left the selection of their can
didates to Congressional caucuses.
In December of that-year a National
Republican or Federalist Convention
assembled in Baltimore, and unani
mously nominated Henry Clay and
John Sergeant for President and
Vice President respectively,
In - the"May.,following a Democrat
ic National Convention met in the
same city, and formally placed in
nomination Jackson and Van Buren.
In May. 1835, the'Democritts nom
inated Van Buren and Johnson at
Baltimore. The Whigs held no Na
tional Convention during that year.
General Harrison, who was named
by several State..ConventionS, receiv
ed their votes in the Electoral:College.
The year 1889 was signalized by
the nomination of Harrison and Ty
ler at Harrisburg, December 4, by
the Whigs, and of James G. Birney
and F. J. LeMoyne by the abolition
sts, November 13; at Warsaw, New
York. The Democrats named ,Van
Buren at a National Convention held
at Baltimore, May 15: 1840. but ex
pressoti no choice for Vice President.
In 1844 the Whigs led otf by a con
vention' which met at Baltimore,
May 1, and placed in nomination
Clay and Frelinghuysen. The Demo
crats, by a convention which assem
bled in the same city, May, 27, put
forward tig, their standard bearers
Polk and,Dallas. In IS-13, however,
there 4Vas a National Convention of
the Liberty Party at Buffalo on Aug.
30,which nominated James G. Birney
and Thomas Morris.
The proceedings of the more recent
conventions may he presumed to he
familiar to most readers. In IKIS the

Question of A (tat (,orernor's
f'do )les:sage—Sew:We Saggeortions
—.llormorni on the Rampage.
SALT LA KV.,January iovern
or Woods to-day returned to the Leg
islative. AN:tenthly the net for hold
ing a convention to prepare a con
stitution for the admission of Utah
without his approval. lie suggests
that the organic act of l'iah contem
plates only such matters as relate to
the domestic concerns of the Terri
tory, and no power is there given to
abolish one form of government and
adopt another. The power that cre
ated alone can destroy without .sue•
elal authority from Congress. The
Territorial 11,egislatme has no right
to act upon the subject of admission.
Further, Utah having less than the
required population under the appor
tionment to one representative im
Congress, he thinks it would be well
to await the pleasure of the general
Government.
The G.)vernor.. in conclusion, says:
To becomes State in the Union is not
a right but a pridege. Good judg
ment would. therefore, re(' II ire that
before any convention should be call
ed Utah should place herself in hai•-
moniotis relatirms w•itla the general
Government." The first and highest
duty oft he eft izen is oi;edience to law.
All violations of the laws of Congress
should cease. Poliganiy should be
abandoned, and the laws enacted by
you shou hi 'be in accord with the
laws of Congress upon that sublet‘t.
j'ntil it is done the people of Utah
cannot expect. nor should they ask,
admission to the .I'nion as a State.—
Religious toleration in the United
States is as broad as the wants of hu
manity, but the Government cannot
tolerate church dogmas which set at
naught its statutes. it is to be re
gretted that differetices of opinion
should arke in matters of legislation
between the legislative and executive
departments, but it is}ny duty to
interpret the law as I — tinderstand it.
The Governor's veto message to
the House created much excitement,
and members expressed themselves
with bitter invectiv. Taylor, one
of the Apostles, exclaimed : "Are we
nonentities? are we&-rfs? have we
rendered ourselves criminal by put
ting the power into hands of the Peo
ple to ask for admission into the l. p
ion? As to the polygamy clause. in
this message," said he: "I consider
it an open insult to us. It is 'worn
thread bare, and has become a stink
in \ the nostrils of all respectable peo
pie, What laws have we violated?
and if we have violated any, why are
we not punished for it? Even mur
derers are brought to testify against
us, and every means 'used to prove
us guilty of polygamy. If contrary
to the constitution and laws of the
United Slates, why don't the Fede
ral Judges prosecute us under the
United States laws? Is this. house
to be insulted by such charges as are
eontained in the document from the
Governor? I say, no! I throw it
hack in his face and tell him it is a
falsehood." [Voices,) "Hear, Hear."
" We are American citi z ens, and de- -
mend the rights of such."
James W. Young "didn't care a
snap for the veto. He asked no odds
of the Governor or any other man."
Rockwood said th_ey had been
abused long enough. Re would glad
ly die a martyr to the Mormon cause.
If there were any blood of their fore
&there of '76 in the Assembly they
would at once resent thtinsults.
On motion brJ. W. Yfiung, a com
mittee of three Ur vonferwith a sim
mer committee from the council was
appointed to drait a joint resolution
for the purposes named in the vetoed
act. The same Tommittee were in
structed to draft resolutions expres
sive of the sense ofthe 'House in re
gard to the offebsive charges in the
Governor's veto message.
THE STAR SIBIUS.—Many things
combine to render this brilliant star
an object of profound Interest. We
can gaze on Its pure silvery, radiance
and reflect how many ages It has
adorned the heavenly dome with its
peerless lustre, and hop many gen
erations of mankind have rejoiced in
it,and among them alt the wise and
the good and the great of history,
without awe and admiration ! In
ancient Egypt It was ao object of
idolatrous worship. It was then a
brilliant red color, but it is now a
lustrous white; and the cause of this
change of color, as welt as the nature
and the period of the revolution It
denotes in the star itself, are wholly
unknown. Its distance from our
earth is not less than 1,300,000 times
our distance from the sun; and its
light must travel twenty-two years
to reach us. Another circumstance
of deep interest connected with it is
that It has changed its position, dur
ingill the life of the hu an family, by
about the apparent iameter of the
moon; and that astro omers, detect
ing some irregularitiet in its motion,
have been convinced that it had a
companion star—which they thought
must be non-luminous, since their
telescopes could not detect it. But
Mr. Clark with his new and power
ful acromatic telescope has found
this neighbor of Sirius, hitherto in
visible. and verified the conclusions
to which astronomers bad been led by
reasoning on the facts they had as
certained.

Treasonable Utterances.
Friday last was the anniversary of
the birth of Robert E. Lee and the
occasion was "improved" by Jubal
Early, who delivered a violent ad
dress before the students in the chapel
of Washington and Lee University,
at Lexington, Va. From the report
of this address in the Richmond Die
paleh; we make the following ex tract:
"They tell us to forget dead issues.
('an true issues ever he dead ? We
do believe that a people who forget
their traditions are unworthy of the
name of freemen. Ladies I have
faith in you to instill into the rising
generation memories of the past.
Upon you, young frie,nds, who are
here in these walls preparing for life,
rests the hope of your country. You
have the example of Lee and Jack
son more immediately before you ;
profit by them. Comrades, who on
many fields have followed the great
captain, I need not tell you to Le true.
I f any he rcuegades, let them go with
the brand of infamy upon them.
We have a sacred fluty n I perform ;
OE , tomb of Lee must be cured for ;
a monument to him must he erec
ted at the Confederate capital. We
will do it, and show to the world
that as we loved and honored him
in life, we are true in death, and not
unworthy to have been the followers
of Robert E. Lee."
Laura fn, a'ni•r in a NPW Role.
The Nan Francisco Chronicle, of
the 14th, s.trys : A few months ago
1)r. Trask, one of Laura 1). Fair's
physicians, brought suit against her
to recover the amount of his fees. it
was then discovered that she had as
signed 'her money in trust to others,
out of the reach of her creditors.
Aniong these assignees her mother
appeared as trustee for $16,000, and
her daughter appeared for $.4,000.
Every thing has gone on smoothly
since then, until within a few days
since. when Mrs. Fair discovered
that her mother had drawn the in
terest on the $4,l$H), which had been
transferred to the child, and had de-'
posited it in the odd Fenm vs , / s a y_
ings Bank. She also found that her
mother intended to conVert all to her
.own use. Last Thursday Mrs. Farr
held an interview with her mother
and demanded back the $lO,OOO,
which her mother positively refused
to do. Mrs. Fair then threatened
her with a law suit, which threat
put her into a violent passion, mus
ing a hysterical fit. Mrs Fair left
her presence without accomplishing
anything excepting the securing of
the money in her little daughter's
name from any interference by her
mother. We understand that Mrs.
Fair will immediately commence a
suit for t h e recovery of the $16,000.
Curious Political Reminiscence
The correspondent of the Xenia.
(Ohio) Gazette, writing from Colum
bus, the Stat. Capital, gives an,ac
count of the recent elect iotvof United
States Senator, and in this connection
tells the following story respecting-
Senator Sherman and Vice President
Colfax. "John Sherman's first ap
pearance, before the public, (and I
have it from good authority.) was at
Ihe Philadelphia Convention that
nominated General Taylor for Presi
dent. it happened in this wise : Ile
WRS a delozate to that Convention.
When in the organization it cattle to
the election of a secretary, Judge
also an Ohio delegate, arose
•
in
thes('anvention and said that the
Ohio delegation has a young man in
it whdm he desired to nominate for
that pisition, that if elected it would
probably be the only official position
he would ever hold, as he said he
hailed from a hopelessly Democratic
district. He WAS unanimously chosen.
A delegate from Duliana nominated
a young loan front that delegation
for assistant secretary, and made a
similar speech concerning. Win, and
he was chosen. Schbyler Colfax and
John Sherman met) each other and
shook hands for they first time at the
secretary's desk."
