Sofa-bottomed chairs,^pluBu ™B?anda e lhick velvet carpet Were bathed in the mellow glow of softly shaded gaslights. Heavy lace curtains dropped from grit win dow cornices, and an elegant sideboard stood in one corner of the room. »V alters in mu dress answered the faintest tinkle of silver hand'bells. The conversation of the party was carried on in a low murmur. The faces weresober, even sad.. It was evident that the topic under discussion was of extraorchn Mjr interest. The evening lengthened. The room became blue with the fragrant smoke of a dozen choice cigars. And still no smiles swept over the sober faces at the te The tiny hands of the clock crept to the hour of midnight, but the murmuring conversation still continued. Gestures were frequent, and occasionally an energetio sentence was spo ken in a sharp, business-like manner. The ■waiters threaded the group noiselessly, and disappeared as soon as their orders were filled. Occasionally a diamond flashed from the bosom of an excited speaker, or sparkled from fiDgers which.were impatiently drum ming the marble before their owners. One o’clock came. The business of the conclave was accomplished. Waiters brought in over coats and canes. The party drifted down stairs, crept within the carriages dripping in the the dpor, and were driven to their homes: . • ' All this at the Manhattan Glub house. All these were prominent members, chiefs of a great political party, who had determined to purge that party oft a load which threatened to strangle it ih a city'where its majority was numbered bydeiis 6f thousands. After an earnest deliberation, It was determined that the welfare of the party, if not of the public, demanded a change. Under the lax enforce ment of the laws crime was running ram pant Notorious thieves and burglars hid grown more than ordinarily bold, trusting to the secret springs of political action for safety when detected. Vigilance Committees had been r ,organized, and city officials had been threatened with the halter. A change of policy was indispensable. It was therefore deliberately resolved to throw without the pale of the patty the county official whose affiliations with the criminal portion of the community were the closest. Justice should be allowed to take its course, and robbers and murderers should be punished at all hazards. Tuesday, the 10th of February, came, and with it a remarkable charge from an incor ruptible Judge (Barnard)—a charge that re cognized the fearful increase ot crime, and that evinced a determination to battle with it manfully, and to stamp it out with the strong ’foot of the law. The District-Atrorney was to be no longer fettered, and witnesses were to be no longer wearied. Trials were to be no longer delayed until public sentiment had been toned down, or the memory of the crime had dwindled to forgetfulness. Retri bution was to be swift and sure. An old .standing rule of the Court, which provided fifor the postponement of a trial on the ar raignment of a prisoner, was promptly re voked, to the surprise of all the old court officials. This was the bugle blast of the war against the scoundrels who had too long robbed and murdered unoffending citizens with impunity. The thieves laiighedm their sleeves. It was only the old dodge, so they said, “to shut the eye of the public.” They could control the Primaries, and they would like to see the man that “would go back on them.” B >ld crimes increased in number. The plate glass of the Park Bank was smashed in broad daylight; a broker was choked in his own offlie, and his money carried off before bis eyes, just be fore nightfall; a wealthy gambler was pin ioned and gagged, early in the evening, in his room fronting Broadway, thousands of dollars taken from his pockets, and precious gems torn from his fingers and his frilled shirt'hnsom; a diamond mer chant was way laid in Fourth streetj and a hundred daring petty crimes cropped out in various parts of the city, while above them all the spectre of the Rogers murder towered, and haunted the public mind like a hideous nightmare. The thieves would not read the signs of the com ing storm. At length, Mr. Btephen B >yle, with a d zen aliases, was seen lurking around Squires's jewelry store in the Buwery. The police successfully intercepted him. He jumped into a butcher wagon and drove for dear life. The police pursued. A ruuning lire of pistol shotß was scattered along the Bowery. The officer caught his prey unin - jured. Mr. Boyle belonged to a gang who boasted of their political influence. He was caught on a Monday. He was tried and con victed on Thursday. The unflinching Judge instantaneously sentenced him to the State prison ior forty years. Ou the same day three ihieveß, of political influence, pleaded guilty of burglary in the third degree. The bait did Dot take. Sentence was not suspended. They were given the full term —five years in Bing SiDg. In the Court of Oyer and Ter miner, at the Bame hour, George Jones, thief, was tried, convicted of burglary iu the first degree, and sentenced to the State prison for twenty years, the whole proceeding occupy ing only the short space of five minutes. Quick work was this by an earnest Judge,re elected last fall. And this is a Judge fir whose impeachment the Tribune has clamored during the past year. Nor wasthis all. On the Bame day the same Judge sen tenced one McNamee, a highwayman, to prison for ten years. So much for one day’s work. The thieves were alarmed. Thunderbolts were dropping from an apparently cloudless sky. They were caught in a storm of red hot coals with out their sheet -iron umbrellas. The public forgot the Rogers mystery, and showered en comiums upon the two Judges. But a jargon of curses arose from the bluiub ot the Sixth Ward, the “fences" of Prince street, and the liquor shops of the Sixteenth and Twenty first wards. Threats of assassination were loud and deep. Politicians were “seen," but in vain. The magic word “Primaries" had lost its charm. Failing in their schemes, the thieves at tempted by open force what they could not accomplish by strategy. The corners of Centre street were packed, and prisoners were taken from the custody of deputies. The entries and stairways of the court-room were filled with professionals, and the room itself was’crowded, with the intention of overawing the Judges. Bat all of no avail. Justice was dealt out with inexorable rigor. Then a pet of the thieves (John Ileal), himself a deputy Bheriff, was brought to the “ c j waß a man wbo had premeditated and carried out In cold blood the murder of a \>< lice < fii-er. Bo confident was he that his poll real strength would.secure him from the consequences of hi? crime, that he had pro claimed his intention of murder in an open court room. The readers of the Hun have perused the history of his ui-d. T»« cham ber of the Court was thronged with the worst desperadoes. Witnesses were threat med With dealb. The jury was duied to bring in VV/f a ’7r- t - tr-14. _ _ ... -r/.- THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA WEDNESDAY,FEBRUARY IT, 1869. & verdict of guilty. Bets of fifty dollars to ten were made in the presence of the jurors that the murderer would escape. The Judge on the bench was cursed for hia precautions t against an attempt f w rescue the murderers In opeii Court he Warned the villains tnal; ' their pUrpoiea werlilknowfi, and thatthey • would' not be allowed to succeed; So great: was the danger, that'the‘presence of t two.; hundred policemen wbb necessary to prevent an outbreak. The Witnesses gave their evidence with nervous reluctance. The jury went'out to deliberate, but were afraid to re turn with their verdict. Even the judge re sorted to strateey to clear the room, saying that he was,going home, and ordering the jury to be locked up, as there was no pros pect of their agreement. The gang still watched the proceedings with wolfish eyes. At last the jury returned. Fear had left its trace in their verdict, for it was tempered with a recommendation to mercy. The gang festered with curses. But the judge, with quiet dignity, arose in the midnight gaslight and sentenced the brutal assassin to death. By his order the doors were ciosed, and the prisoner sent to the Tombs. Then the thiev ing mob went to their homes. This Judge was the only one who had the courage to wage an open warfare with the robbers and murderers. He was taken from the regular term of the Supreme Court, and placed over the Oyer and Terminer solely on account of his indomitable pluck. Tne thieves know and fear him. All their efforts to procure the übuol writ of error have failed. Even if a writ of error should be granted, the lion-hearted Judge has announced his deter mination to quash the proceedings. John Real was sentenced to death. From that moment his gang of cut-throats dogged the fcoistepß of the Judge. The witnesses are hourly threatened with murder. The life of one of them was saved only by the timely presence of a police officer. The hatred of the gang, however, seems to have been concentrated upon the Judges. On the evening succeeding the sentence of death the Judge visited a IrieDd in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. In ten minutes the main hall was filled with a crowd of beetle-browed ruf fians, all eagerly scenting his tracks. Re spectable citizens gazed at the unusual irruption in wonder. The Judge, though unarmed, remained cool and impassive, not BeemiDg to notice the scowls of the gang or the curses hissed in bis ear. Once he asked a number of well-known citizens whether they had any special objection to accom panying him home. All refused. One man —a prominent Republican office-holder —took the Judge by the hand. “You are doing a noble work. Judge, but you are in great danger. Why do you go unarmed ?" “The law forbids the carrying of concealed weapons. I cannot break the law, even if my life should pay the forfeit. I shall do my duty regardless of consequences.” “I am armed, and will go home with yon,” replied the Republican. The circle of ruflians was broken as the two passed without the door of the hotel. Stealthy footsteps followed them, and be neath the gas lamp at the intersection of Broadway and Twenty-first street, another murderous-eyed gang was encountered. The Judge aDd his companion were sainted with profanity, but no violence was offered. They reached the Judge’s home in safety. But the band of assassins are still at his heels. Will John Real be executed? His com rades are fearfully excited. They have no hopes of Gov. Hoffman's interference, and, aB a last resort, they have rested their expec tations upon Sheriff O'Brien. They openly assert that that official will not obey the man date of the Court. They say that the Sheriff will take the risk of impeachment for a dere liction of duty, andafterward throw himself into the arms of his constituents for a reflec tion. His fight with the leaders of the party has slieady begun. It is Baid that the Judge has been bitterly upbraided by the Sheriff for biß exposure and defeat of the plan for the rescue of Heal. But the death 'sentence has been pro nounced, and the ussassin must die. If the Sheriff refuses to do his duty, another officer will be found who will execute the sentence of the law. In the mean time, the half- formed Vigi lance Commi'tees are becoming stronger. Their members will sustain the Judges in their determination to sweep the criminals from the city. The clouds are breaking, and a loDg night of violence and crime is passing away. The end is at hand. Iu all probability the present week will close with the trial, conviction and sentence of four murderers, amoDg them the assassin of Mr. Rogers. The latter has been identified, and the evidence against tiim will, it is said, warrant his conviction. One thing is oertain —the Judges will luithfully do their duty.

Ope of the first pieces which brought the soldier into disfavor on the stage was the “Chandelier” of Alfred de Musset, who painted a cold-hearted seducer in a garrison town contrasting unfavorably with a draper’s assistant; but by this time the public was getting heartily sick of Ilomeos who were fathers and Don Juans who Buffered terriely fiom rheumatism, and were quite prepared fur the engineers of Legouve, Feuillet and Sardou, and the young barrister whose pros pects were brilliant under the parliamentary regime. That the day should have gone by when “Allonßl messieurs, a cheval,” and “Soldats, je suis content de vous" Bent a thrill through a French audience must iu some measure be attributed to the correspondents who followed the armies in the last cam paigns. Under the First Empire the suffer ings of the soldier were concealed under bushels of laurels and the blare and rattle of military music drowned his groans. But the correspondents who wrote home from the Crimea and Italy touched the national fibre in another manner by detailing the horrors of war. • Neither the Crimean nor the Italian campaign excited more than a temporary enthusiasm, and they gave rise to but few “pieces de ciroonstance.” The Crimean plays were only rendered popular tiy the appearance of the hated Cossack. But since the conclusion of peace with Austria the military drama, even accom panied by splendid scenic effect, has met with no success. Even the Vengeur sank nightly at the Chatelet, in presence of a supremely indifferent audience, till it sank to rise no more, after a very short run. The fact is the critics exposed the whole impos ture before the piece appeared, and revealed to the public how the captain of the Vengeur had breakfasted with the English admiral, instead of going to the bottom to the tune of the “Marseillaise.” When Bugelmann presented his “Nouveau Oid,” the sight of a general’s staff, fea thers, and maps was quite sufficient to ex cite the hilarity of pit and gallery, and pre j cipitate the fall of his piece. We are told that the uniform has still an imposing effect in the provinces; and, in fact, we find in “Mailre Guerin" an obstinate peasant over , come by the sight of his son (whom he •Tlie padded man that wears the stays." j m( j always treated as a scapegrace), when The batiro was fearful, but tbe poet soon ' he appeared in lull regimentals as a colonel, regretted it, as Thackeray did the contemptu- ; But the provinces are rapidly catching the out things he had said of Bulwer, and hot tone of the city, as M. Francisque Saroy re hng nfieir appeared a “palinode,” in which marks in the interesting series of articles from Tcfiijbon made a handsome apology for the which we have borrowed most of our illus rein-.b lie bud need. Both poems may be traiions. “Theodorus” is now being played found in the old volumes of Punch, bo much at Paris, but it is wholly sustained by the Gossip About the bnglUli Poets. Speaking of the social habits of Tennyson, I which would draw upon him the elegant 1 abUße of Edwin Thompson, if he lived in ■ Massachusetts, we may be pardoned for re- j peating an anecdote, now a quarter of a cen- ' tury old, which that best of story- tellers, Theodore Parker, sometimes related. On his first visit to Europe, in 1844, Parker took let ters to Carlyle, and when he called to deliver them, on a Sunday afternoon,he found, some what to his surprise, the great writer,with his brother, Dr. Carlyle (the translator of Dante, and the suggester of many of the pictures of German life in “Sartor Resartus”), sitting with a bottle of Jamaica, a kettle of hot water, and the other apparatus for steaming punch, yfhich they were concoct ing and drinkiug.l»n course of the conver sation, which toulro wide range, the name of Tennyson was mentioned, better known then, as waß that of Carlyle, in New England than in the mother country. Parker had read and admired his poems, but it waß before his more masculine vernes had appeared, and he spoke of him to Carlyle as a man whom he ima gined of delicato habits, carefully dressed and elegantly periumed, Bitting down in his ex quibite study to compose the dainty verees which Bulwer scoffed at soon after, in his “New Timon." Carlyle roared with laugh ter at this fancy sketch of his friend, and said, “No, man, he's nothing of that sort —he’s a down right good fellow, and drinks his grog like the rest of üb.” And now that we are upon the subject of Tennyson, his contempt for Bulwer, and the apology he made for a too frank expres sion of it, may be mentioned. In the “New Timon,” Bulwer’s long satirical poem, now lemembered chiefly by the epithet applied to Lord Derby—“the Rupert of debate”— and by that single lioe describing Earl Ruesell'B entrance into the Douse of Com mons : “Comes the culm Johnny who upßet the coach” In this satire, we repeat, the dandy novelist had sneered at Tennyson as a woman’s poet. Soon after appealed in Punch a biting poem, personal to the last degree, written by Tenuyßun against Bulwer, and speaking of him as better than the new ones, but they never have been printed with the author’s name, nor is it generally known that he evercon ’tributed to JPunch. One of the best carica tures in Darley’s new book of “Sketches,” is >' a] headtof Lord Lytton, suggesting, With ludicrous'effect.the presenttaspeDt ot ■ whose elegant portrait usedjto adorn the best; edition of his novels. How profoundly Car-; lyle scorned those early novels Of {the young, aiistocrat, and how he cuts hip Pelham m ! “Sartor Resartus!" But Bulwpr haq Outlived his early celebrity, and written much better novels since his hair began to fall ofh THE DECLINE OF THE FRENCH MILITARY SPIRIT. There are many indications that, notwith standing the vast military establishments of France, the military spiral is declining among the people. If Arthur Young could go through the country again he weuld no longer report crowds of peasants carrying small drumß home to their children from fair and market. The march Of intelligence, the increase of material comforts, easy commu nication between different points of the empire and with foreign countries, a love of wealth which means attention to business and trade, the leaching of the Liberal party, which bates the despotism of the sword, and the influence of such works as those of Erck mann-Chatrian, Pierrat, D’Hausaonville, Tenot, Taxile Delord, Rochefort, and the brilliant volumes of Lanfrey, have done much to subdue the warlike spirit of the Gaul and render him more tractable. His historians have at length commenced to write the real history of the wars of the First Empire, and to deal freely with the character of Napoleon, and deep is the impreEgion which has been made on the public mind. The other day a writer in a French paper declared that,on laying down Lanfrey, he felt ashamed of the Column of Vendome. Thft tb'eatiV is a pretty good test of ihe bent of a nation, and for the last ten years the soldier has been gradually disap pearing from the French;stage—he has passed from the hero to the buffoon, and General Bourn has girded on the sword of Napoleon. The soldier held the theatre a good many years. Napoleon Btarted him to excite his legionß against the English; he had pieces such as “Bne Matinee au Camp, ou les Petits Bateaux,” written expressly for the army at Boulogne, and the famous “chant da depart” echoed from one end of the camp to the other. But the heyday of the French soldier only came after Waterloo and when he appeared in the comedies of the Restoration. In those days of feverish reaction, when the government imposed on France by the allies was attacking the liberties of the nation, the soldier of Napoleon became the popular hero, and though he had been an instrument of the most absolute despotism he was held up as a liberal. Scribe peopled bis comedies with officers of various grades, all young, hand Borne, and brave from the subaltern to the colonel, each ready to seek the bubble repu tation at the cannon’s mouth in order to ob tain the favors of bis mistress. It would be difficult for an audience to keep its counte nance to-day whilst listening to your Captain Adolphe asking young Colonel de Gondre ville to persuade his sister to have patience till after ihe first battle, and then advancing to the foot-lights and singing in a soft ana martial strain such couplets aB these: En prononcant le nom d'Elise, Tons deux gaiement nous chargeons l’ennemi. II est bittu, la ville eet prise, Je suis blisse,dlcn mercil [&w| Qu'une blcssare rend aimable! Qae 1 lntci et je lui vais inepirer! Un bras de uiolns, je puis tout esperer. Et qui sait mo me ? Un boulet favorable Pent m’emporter et me faire adorer. Scribe afterwards attempted to combat the fashion he had helped to create. The shop boys whom he ridiculed for the manner in which they wore their moustache and but toned up their frock coats in order to ape the old soldier, assembled night after night to hiss his squib,- and soon drove it from the stage. Beribe went back to his old gods. He married a simple sergeant with a bald pate and a wooden leg to a blooming young girl of sweet sixteen, and no one considered the pair ill suited because the sergeant had fought at Austerlitz. This same piece, ad mirably performed, was tried at the Gymnase three years ago, but the wooden leg had lost its former charm. However, in the days when Beribe was‘ king, a'kind of constitu tional monarch who bad to follow the bent of bis subjects, the prestige of the uniform was such that anything was permitted the old soldier; he could sing of his success with women, of the flagons of wine he had tossed off, and concluded a list of his peccadilloes with such rollicking verse aB this: ballet, the Abyssinian scenery, and stuffed lions. The British soldier in his red unfform, being somewhat of a novelty,is tolerated and, strange to say, applauded.

About (1600) sixteen hundred miles have been built by two (2) powerful companies; the Union Paciflo Railroad, beginning at OmahA, building west, and the Central Pacific Railroad, beginning at Bacramento, and building east, until the two roads shall moot. About two bundr d mijee rempin to bo built. il»o greater part of the interval is now graded, and it Is reasonably expected that the through connection between Ban Francisco and New York will be completed by Juno 1. As the amount of Government aid given to each is do* pendent upon the length of road each Bhall build, both companies are prompted to great efforts to secure the construction and control of what, when completed, will be one and (Tie only errand Railroad Line connecting the A tlantic and Pacific coasts. One. Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars (8120,000,000) in money have already been expended, by tlio two power ful companies engaged in this great enterprise, and they will speedily complete the portion yet to be built The Government aid to the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad may be briefly summed up as follows: 1869 First—The right of way and all necessary timber and stone from public domain 1 Second—lt makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, which, when tho road is completod*wiil amount to twenty-three million (23.100,000) acres* *1 bird—lt loans the companies fifty million dollars ($30,000,000), for which it takes a second lien. The Government baa- already loaned the Union Pacific Railroad twenty-four million six hundred and ninety eight thousand dollars ($24,698,000). and to the Central Pacific Railroad seventeen million nine hundred and sixty-four thousand dollars ($17,964,000). amounting in ail to forty-two million six hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars ($42,662,000). The Companies are permitted to issue their own First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount as they receive from the United Btates, and no moro. The companies havo sold to permanent investors upwards of ($40,000,000) forty millien dollars of their First Mortgage Bonds. The com panies have already paid in (Including net earnings not divided, grants from Btate of California, and Bacramento city and ban Francisco', upwards of ($26,000,000) twenty* five million dollars of capital stock. WHAT IB THERE YET TO BE DONE ?

Booh Swlnglnff In Judin. Rev. Mr. Noyes, a missionary of the Ame rican Board, stationed at Kambarn, in South ern India, writes that the barbarous practice of hook swinging has been revived in that section of India, acd he describes an occasion of this sort Which he witnessed laßt summer. It is surprising that the British GovmfatKhnt, which once forbade this inhuman allow the priests to again inflict it upon the people. We copy his account as given in the Missionary Herald : “Recently, while laboring in the itineracy, I witnessed the ‘hook swinging festival.’ At the beginning of this festival, the priest of the pagoda sends the sacred ashes, and other things, to a person whom he selects as a vic tim to be suspended. On the reception of these gifts the man commences a fast,denying himself all bodily indulgence. On the day fixed for the celebration of the feast,he enters the temple with pomp and ceremony, and appears before the idol. The priest performs a ceremony over him, uttering munthrams or heathen forms of prayer, and he pretends to be under the influence of devils, and acts like a mad man. While in this state, some per- Bon standing by gives him a severe blow on the back, which produces a slight swelling. The muscle is here pierced in two places, and openings are made sufficient for the in sertion of the iron hooks, which are imme diately introduced, and then pressure is ap plied on every side of the wound to prevent theisßue of blood, greatly increasing the man’s sufferings. The fact that no blood flows Is regarded by the people as a. miracu lous interposition. After these preliminaries, the man is taken to the machine upon which tie is about to be suspended and swung about. This consists of a four-wheeled platform car, in the centre Of which is an upright post, twenty or thirty feet high, and upon the top of it a transverse beam, forty feet long, fitted' to work like a well-sweep, and also to be swung around in a circle. Upon one end of this beam the hooks already inserted in the man’s back are fastened by strong ropes. liOng ropes are also attached to the other end,’ by. means of which severalmen manage 1 its motions. “The victim is first swung around in a cir cle and then raised high in the air, while the multitudes below fill the air,with their shout ing. In going up he favors himself by catching hold of the rope with his hands, but pretty soon lets go, and is suspended by the hooks, being bent almost double, his head and feet banging and the muscles of his back being pulled, out to the utmost tension. While he is hanging in this position, the car la drawn by hundreds of men over the rough ground, around the temple, the man-being shaken and tossed from side to side by the motion of the car. It was a full hour, by my watch that I saw. the man thus suspended, His countenance was a picture of distress,and when taken down ho seemed much ex hausted. “He is.next presented to the people to re ceive their offerings, and receives large pre sents of money and lands—property such as he could not have accumulated by the labor of years. He is now taken to his bouse, the hooks are removed, and" his wounds are treated by the application of small cakes o( U)a^e 80 hot as to burn the skin. Three of these plasters are placed on each wound, aDd kept there for seven day 3, when they are token off and other,medicines are applied. 1 his is severe treatment, but the wounds are effcctuull y healed by it in twenty days, if the man survives it. O a the first day b o f U ? er ? but.l'tde, beoause he is made insen sible by intoxicating drugs and potions. On the second, and several succeeding days, his sufferings are so great that he will often attempt to commit suicide; but as ho is •trictljr watched by bis friends, he finds no opportunity, andv the deed is seldom done. ' ■ •‘‘The Barbarous practice of hook-swinging was discontinued, for many years in Madura district, until it was again revived in 18G7, and as the people have come to understand that the government will not interfere to pre vent it, It is likely to become a common occurrence. I estimated the number of per sons present on this occasion at 15,000.” From onr late editions of Yesterday Discord in the Senate. [Special Despatch to the Phila, Evening Bulletin. 1 Washington, Feb. 16;—Tho Senate, by a vote of 80 to 23, took up the bill pensioning Mrs. Lin coln, and discussed it for half an boar, and then spent two hours wrangling over the order of bus iness, between the appropriations, Tenure of Office repeal, Currency bill and other measures. The Chairman at length said he had never seen public business in so backward a condition. He attributed it to the great amount of time the va rious private and railroad subsidy bills had been allowed to occapy.

[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] Washington, Feb. 16.—The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations held a long and Interesting disenesion on the Alabama Claims Treaty at their session this morning. A pretty fall interchange was had, with the--general result showing that the ' Committee hold substan tially the view which is understood to have been expressed by Gen.

They serve to Illustrate the animosity and hatred with which the Saints regard the Gentiles, and they indicate very plainly the approach of serious trouble be tween them: MORMON EQUITY Will oar very saintly contemporaries inform ue how mean and pusillanimous the Mormon law-dealers can be? Mr. H. M. Ross, lately of the Pacific House of this city, and a resident for a number of years, a few weeks ago started tor Brigham City, to'reside there with'hls family and go into business until the new railroad town was laid off. Ho opened a restaurant. The Saints charged him 8100 license, although the other (Mormon) hotels there' pay but 8100. Finding such a damnable practice did not work well, the' minions of Brig ham Young tried to “freeze” him out by refusing to sell him any meat, milk, etc. Mr. Ross, how ever, immediately took measures to secure the wherewith to feed the hungry travelers who are passing through that place in large numbers, on their way for Promontory and other placeß. Mr. Ross circumyented, for the time being, the “muchly” honored and highly respected “authori ties,” but there is no telling how soon another attempt will be made, us Mr. Ross is doing a lively business. Only 8300 extra for being ta Gentile! Vetily, strangers are Invited to Utah! Come on “outsiders,” you’ll find an asylum in Utah! But come prepared to pay your tithing.

A friend writes us from Brigham City: Did you bear of tbe threatened banging of Bishop on the Railroad? Perhaps you know more about it than wo do. The following is what rumor brought here: Some graders from the east left their employer and worked for Bishop , one of the heaviest Mormon contractors. Whou pay day arrived the Bishop charged thorn tithing on’tbeir wages and deducted the samo from the amounts due them.

'4‘he wound was three inches long and two and a half Inches deep. Death wad almost instantaneous. The cross-examination of Dr. Shnplclgb, by Mr. Page, de veloped the fact that tbe deceased was lying inside of Mr. Dohahne’p room, and had apparently advanced so far before receiving his wound as to be within three feetnl tbe wall opposite the door of entrance. This was brought out in answer to the Commonwealth's al legation in the openingy that Mr. Dempsey was caught by the prisoner as he waspaes'ng his (the prisoner’s) door.
