IT is stated that Congress has given
to railroads, within a few years, some
twenty-six millions of acres Of land.
This looks large, but it must be remem-
bered that much OF this land was an
,untrodden desert, and that many. more
OF these acres could never have been
developed or made of any profitable
account had not these railways been
constructed.

BRTGHAM YoFNG,
How He Compares with Brown
low as q Governor.

From Couletsris Letter iu Boston Pos,
Brigham has not been able to lead all
who have embraced the Mormon faith.
There have been q great many Rpos-
tates. In 8 conversation with Rev. Mr.,
FOote, an Episcopal clergyman here, he
admitted that fifteen out OF every twenty
of the original American Mormons have
apostatiZsd. George A. Smith, the his
tOriaa OF the church, said five out OF
every six Americans had turned back.
Tue first general spostscy was in 1852,
u dsr Bishop GLADDEN., who, while hold
ing on to the book Of Mormon, con-
demned pOlygamy.
Brigham preached q sermon in March,
1858, from which we take the following
sentence:
when a man oomss right out like sn
independent devil, and says, D Nor
monism and ell thu MormOns, and is of
with himself TO Csliiornis, say he is q
gentleman By the side of q nasty, sneak
ing apostste, who is opposed 10 nothing
but Cnrislsnity. Now,
you GiAddenites, keep your tongues still,
lest sudden destruction come upon you
/ say, rather than that apOstates should
flourish here, / will unshesth nv bowie
knife and conquer or die."
The second spostacy was commenced
in 1850. Joseph Morris felt himself in
spired and made a revelation, aud set up
a new church. In ths course OF three
months he had Eve hundred. These fol-
lovers of Morris refused to train In the
Nauvoo legion, were fined, their proper
ty taken and eoDfiscated to the church.
The fnes and costs amounted to $50 per
! individual. They had 9 settlement on
| Weber river, north of Salt Lake, where,
in the spring Of 1882, they seizsd the
load of -four and the man driving the
team, and held on to the property and

SWAPPING WTvEg

A late number Of the Bingham 1u.)
Democrat speaks of q couple Of fellows
"a that county that have been swapping
women. We have heard OF instances
before where husbands have traded wives,
but this is the frat instance that we ever
noticed where father traded daughter
to q husband for his wife. This gross
barbarism wss developed IN the courts Of
that county last week. II appears, Gays
the Democrat, that at or near Mason, a
preacher named Deilz heaven save the
marx Traded his daughter to his neigh
Dor named Burns, for his wife, agreeing
10 give IS boot between daughter and
wife, 5000. In accordance with this
trade, the hush tnd left the wife and took
the daughter oil TO st. Louis, and the
wife placed herself under the care of the
trading preacher. After Burns had frol-
ieked around st Louis awhile with the
daughter, be returned to Mason, ana de-
msladed his boot money, which the rev.
erend old seoundrel refused to pay, and
then Burns bad him arrested Tor ssdu-
cling his wife, and the trial developed the
above facts.

APen Portrait by ThurlOr Weed

ThurIow Weed knows the men o.
his oRn party. Thus he Dsints the man
who was for four years the Governor OF
New York, and has just been elected
TO be one Of her Senators in Congress, by
the party claiming all the morality, all
the religion aud all the decency III the
country:
| Gov Fsnton retired from Office at the
1 end OF bis term, and John T. Hoffman
| wss welcomed to the honOrs, the trials
and tribnlstions OF the office by the out
going incumbent. Gov. Fenton has held
the Office for four years, and has made
some reputation. He will stand out as
sn MISUNDERSTANDING that q msn
with very little ability and less honesty,
fair supply OF cunning and tact, and q
large amount OF double dealing, can 20
successfully humbug the country that he
has some claims to statesmsnship, and
entitled 10 the respect Of the un-
sophisticated people OF the rural dis
tricts. He retires from Office IS the
most successful fraud that ever held
nigh position in the government OF the
country. OF al the distinguished eitl-
zsns who have occupied the Executive
chair OF this State, no one has ever
brought the amount of scandal to the
doors OF the Executive Chamber that
Reuben E Fenton has ; commencing
with the signing OF the New York Dry
Dock Railroad bill, in which one Of bis
most intimate back door friends obtained
$50, 900 from the company for his sigma
tuTe 10 the meas Ure, ending with the
history OF the Esis railroad legislation Of
last session, when his most intimate and
trusted friend was paid $40 900 by one OF !
the directors Of the Erie Company to OBJ |
tain his approval of the bill, his admin /
istratiOn has been made notorious by |
system of black mailing.
Yet in the face OF the most scandslOus |
and infamous trade, be has managed to 1
impose upon the peop!s Of the State, and /
leave the impression that be was an hon 4

able 20 certain Wall street shsrpers to
have the New York Central Fare Bill
vetoed than approved. Which eve: way
he turned was gr!s. % his nill. It was
the same with the New York city rail-
r0sds-more money vas paid foF veto
than for signature, e0d 90 1t went from
the beginning OF his administration TO
.hs end. Gov. Fenton, unlike most men
who have held high official positions, re-
Tres from office with 2 larger bank &C.
count and more goods, chattles, bonds
md mortgages, than when he entered
he Executive chamber. We say moth
ng OF the unscrupulous manner in which
le has used his Office ior his own sd
This, 10 s certain extent,
nay be. considered by gentlemen Of loose
POLITICAL morality perfectly legitimate.
8It we repeat there is nothing in the
history Of the Executive OF the State so
and disgrsceful as the admin
stTation Of Reuben Z. Fenton.

families put themselves under his pro-

beyond the jurisdiction OF Brigham
Young. So ended the Mennonite apos-
tacy.
In 1883 began the sp0stscy OF the Jo-
sephites, under the lead Of Joseph Smith,
jr., son OF the prophet. He has set up
the Mormon Church, T. sst. He is not in
the territory, and his followers are leRv-
ing ii. In 1854, three hundred left the
Territory under an escort furnished by
Gen. Conner. It is estimated that not
less than 1900 have lett in all. They &C.

Iieye in continued revelation, are loyal

dian couldn't well afford to dispense with
this mans services for 80 trifiing mat
ter, SO ne artfully inOculRted the pccu-
lstive agent With a mania for this game
Of poker, which Is said 10 be extremely
fascinating, and when the agent had
captured all the money at night Mr..
Buchanan would skilfully and unfsilDg-
ly win il all away from him during the
day, 10 ibis manner Mr. Buchanan
redressed wrong, killed time and into.
.duced this singular and Etrrsol!ge game
into the moss remote corners OF the
civilized globe.
