She severely criticised the government
Of the United States regarding its con-
duct toward Hormonism, and cited the
decision Of the Supreme Court in the case
Of the heirs Of the Mormon Elder, Hebar
Kimball, who recently died, leaving 200
wives. When the United States Assess
sor for Utah went to appraise the proper
ty Of the deceased, he learned which Of
these was the first whom Hebar had led
to the altar, and knowing the laws on the
United States statute books forbidding
polygsmy, he recognized her and her only
as the widow. The case was brought to
w ashington, and decision rendered by
the highest judicial tribunal in the land,
notwithstanding the lawlof Congress to
the contrary, that each and every one OF
these 200 were separately and distinctly
widows Of the deceased Mormon Elder.
Thus, said she, it will be seen. that while
polygamy is prohibited at one end OF
Pennsylvania Avenue. it is sanctioned at
the other.
After visiting the women at their places
of abode, returned to my hotel, said Miss
Dickinson, and listened to serenade,
which, from the language / had ex-
pressed, knew was not intended for me.
It was responded to by Mr.. Hooper Of
Massachusetts,, who thanked them for
the honor and retired. Mr.. Hooper had
no occasion to regret his course at Salt
Lake City. Next Came VIM. D. Kelly of
New York, who fattered them and prom
ised them the assistance and encourage
ment of the government, as far as the in
fuence of the party then visiting the city
could procure it. On Sunday she went to
the Tabernacle, and listened to sermon
from Rev. John Todd, who addressed the
men, accompanied by their own blood re-
lations as wives, as brothers, and hoped
we all would meet above. The theories
he advanced were SO exemplihed in Salt
Lake City that there he might well feel
at home. She paid glowing tribute to
the most distinguished member of the
party she accompanied, in speaking Of Mr.
Colfax's bold stand against sMormonism,
when she said: 'Not public man has
gone to Salt Lake City this summer, with
the exception Of our statesman Vice Presi-
dent, but has gone down into the mud
with these people and struck hands with
them
Salt Lake City is very like other great
cities, because here is done unmasked what
is concealed in other places, but the I'M
DERIVING theory of woman's degradation
is the same in Salt Lake City as in Paris
London, Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia.
The speaker here diverged from her
subject of "Whited Sepulchers' as applied
to Salt Lake City, and confined herself
during the remainder of her discourse to
the advocacy of Woman's Rights, of which
doctrine she proved herself an able ex-
FOUNDER. She showed the condition of
women in this and other countries, and
the fallacy of the cry that the women
themselves did not desire an amelioration
of their condition, by saying that the
women are so confined to their present
spheres that they had not time to study
or look into the future, thus enabling
them to see how much better their status
would be if permitted to stand upon level
with their husbands, fathers and brothers.
Her appeal for woman was an able one,
and expressed, especially the closing sem
fences, in such eloquent and glowing lam
guage as to take deep root in the hearts
of and draw forth the most unbounded
applause from the vast audie9se
