The Franking Privilege.

The Editors OF the Journal seem disposed
to insist upon the enormity Of the crimes
perpetrated by Col. Curtis in Franking his
business and family letters. We are not ad.
vised what means Of information the Editors
OF that sheet have to ascertain the character
OF the correspondence which passes under the
Coloneps Frank. We think that in . we'll
conducted Post Office neither clerks nor par.
tisan editors would be suffered to pry open
and peep into letters to ascertain their char
acter or contents. II subjects them to tempsa-
ton, and an individual sufficiently low and
depraved to do that thing might possibly be
suspected OF stealing in case . draft or 9th.
er remittance should come up missing. OF
course neither Colonel Patterson's clerks nor
the Editors OF the Journal have been guilty
OF actually prying into Col. Curtis' letters.
and 90 We take il that the charge is simply
"a lie out Of whole cloth.''

cinnagl.
Bishop Purcell publishes letter in the
Catholic Telegraph OF this wssk, calling At
tsntion to tho sncyclioal lstter Of the Pope,
ordering prayers throughout the Catholic
world $50 avert the scandal OF three Oatho-
10 nations, armed with oil the murdsrous
appliances Of modern warfare for mutual de-
etruction.'
He says "there il no foundation in hsto.
~, reason, or Scripture, for the predictions
that the Pope will have to fly to Western
isles, or continent, for safety. His tenure
Of his peaceful throne We consider more Sc
cure than that Of any Of the Crowned Heads
whose enmity to one another he deplores."
But in order to be right end up for any
event, he adds.
eff it be, indeed, true that His people, for
getful, or ungrateful, for past benefits, will
not have him any longer to rule over them,
who is it that cannot see IL this rejection the
Wears resemblance to Christ, whom His peo-
pie rejected"
OF Napoleon, he says:
"Aware, a. We are, of the antecedents Of
the present Napoleon, and Of his uncle, We
share not the disquietude OF many Catholic
minds, that the present, apparent Dictator
Of the destinies of Europe, entertains any
ideas that are hostile to the integrity Of the
States Of the Church. He should, indeed, be
demented, not to see'in history the point at
which the downfall Of the FIRST Napoleon be-
gan, or fail to perceive that similar policy
would be fatal to himself.''
In conclusion, he ordains "that every one
Of our beloved clergy celebrate on the 7th,
or the 10th, Of June, Votive Mass pro
pace"

Rescue OF q Young Lady 1ron the
MOrn ms

A company OF returning Pixies Peakers
passed through here last Sunday, having un-
der their protection . young lady whom they
had taken from Mormon train, few miles
west Of Newton. Il appears that on Sunday
morning, % the Pixies Peak boys were crosse
ing Skunk bottom, they met train Of Nor
mons, who were busily engaged in trying TO
extricate some OF their wagons from the mud.
While stopping moment to witness the ex-
ertions OF the Saints, they overheard girl
Of about 10 exclaim: 81 wish was drowned
in that sloughl" Their interest Was awakened
and they asked her Why made such foolish
wish. She replied that che Was tired Of life
that she had started from Iowa City, for
Salt Lake, with her father, who 10 Mormon
Elder-that she had been compelled TO walk
oil the way, and when she expressed desire
TO leave the train and return they invariably
stopped her mouth. She was told by the
Peakcrs that i>she wished to return to Iowa
City she should 60 with them. She replied
that she desired very much to return. The
Mofmons, numbering some SO men, gathered
around, armed with guns, knives, TO-, and
declared she should not return. The Peak
boys, nothing daunted, armed themselves and
announced their discrimination to take the
girl Ct oil hasards, and proceeded to carry
out their intentions. For time nght ap-
psared inevitable, but finally Mormon cour-
age gave way, and tho boys succeeded in
placing the girl safely under their own pro-
lection. She then informed them that the
Saints had trunk and other baggage be-
longing to her, which thsy proceeded 70 OBJ
tain. The Aormons boldly declared that
they would tight before they would permit
anything TO be taken from their wagons. A
show Of guns and revolvers, however, cooled
their ardor, and Mormon courage again
oozed out at the ends Of their fingers, while
the boys proceeded to transfer the baggage
to their own wagons-the Saints looking on
and uttering terrible imprscations against
the perpetrators Of the horrid outrage ~
they termed il. Altar obtaining oil they
sought, the rescuers drove OF with the girl,
leaving the Mormons to console themselves,
as best they could, in their loss.
The Peakers numbered about Is men, and
were from Indiana, Illinois and Iowa City

raj persons who had been his enemies, called
upon him to offer acts of kindness. Among
others Of these was the late John C. Calhoun,
who desired reconciliation with Randolph
before his death, especially for ito political
benefits. Randolph received him kindly, ac-
cepted bis profers Of sympathy, and freely
forgave him for bis previous opposition, and
accepted an amicable settlement Of oil diff

Calhoun was delighted with this manifes-
tation Of kindness, but what was his surprise,
when, on taking leave Of tho exhausted, and,
1t was supposed, dying Randolph, the latter
called him back to his bedside with this ex-
clamation: 'sNow, Calhoun, remember, IL /
