some Excitement Among Among the GentiIes nt
The Corinne (Utah) Reporter of January 90
says:-
in regard to the hostile attitude of our Mormon
brethren on every side. Some said they were
confident of an early attack being made upon
city If the Cullom bill passes, in which case,
of course, 1t would be raZed to the ground by
the enraged polygamists without warning or
without mercy. This paper has frequently made
mention of the abject helplesness of the Gentle
citizens of this Territory, ia case anything was
done by the Government to offend our fanatic
neghbors, who are already frenZied to despera-
tion at the first mention of interfering with their
inhuman mode of life. Should the Cullom bill
pass of which there is but little doubt, the most
inhuman outrages by those whose peculiar notions
and practices are interfered with may not be un-
locked for, for they will certainly come. While
we would avoid creating any undue alarm which
must necessarily retard the best interests of
our Territory we cannot sit idly by and
console ourselves upon such promises as we'll
retained attorney made to HIS client When the
client, with tears in his eyes, approached his
paid savior and warned him of the extra exer-
tions his enemies were making to hang him. the
bland attorney, already we'll paid and free frcm
harm himself, says;--"Well you just let them
hang you if they want to. I'll make 'em sweat
for il If they do" Now this is Just what we
don't want. We pay the Government in loyalty
and taxes for the protection we ask, and we
don't want to walt till after death to have our
favors reclprOcated. There is danger of bar
barous attack here any day, and it is quite as
true there is no protection here for those not of
the Mormon faith VIII the Government take
the hint? Since writing the above we are ad-
vised of an enthusiastic meeting being held
down town, at which a military organization is
being perfected for the defense of the city,
should the necessity arise. Late news from the
adjacent Mormon settlements have evidently
aroused the citizens to a realizing sense of the
situation which calls for action. The Govern
ment will be pettioned for protection.

Delights of Street Travel-An Abuse Calling

for Correction.
Chicago, itseems, is, like Philadelphia, afflicted
with the 'Sawson." The following sketch from
the Tribune will be read with sympathy here:-
Two months ago the City Railroad put one
horse cars upon Its route, under the specious
ploa that it did so for the public benefit Every
body understands now that this was done, not
to supplement, but to displace the two-horse
cars, to the great inconvenience of the public
and only to the saving of the expense of one
horse and one man to each car.
Take scene on Thursday evening as an ave-
rage result
The driver, after vainly ringing the bell pulls
up his horse, and announces that there are four
fares unpaid, and that he shall not go on till he
has the tickets or the money. Indignant shouts
of "Go on You've no right to stop! Go ahead.''
To which the driver, master of the situation, re-
plies that he is obeying the rules, and thereupon
shuts the door.
Interval, five minutes with some uproar, much
laughter, and many curses.
An ominous whisper arises, "Lets throw him
overheard and drive on !"
Driver is conscious of flank movement, and
explains that he has given the right change to
all moneys passed up.
Diversion created by one passenger accusing
another of confiscating his four cents.
Indignantly denied.
"Didn't give you the envelope?"
"Yes, dash you, and nothin' III it"
81 want them four fares, remarks the driver.
Drunken man goes through an arlthmetical
calculation that four fares are twenty-five cents,
and, being disposed to go home before morning,
! proposes to pay up.
! Not allowed to do so by his companions, who
| won't 60 home till morning." and as one of
them sits in his lap and another one sits In his
| lap the difficulties of drunken man getting to
the box are obvious, and the Jolly companions
| have the best of 1t.
| No signs from any quarter of specie payment.
Time, ten mnutes-horse gone to sleep at the
corner of Harrison street. No policeman in
sight.
Driver blandly remarks that he would like
''them four fares"
Told in reply to go towel
Change again demanded for fares already
| paid
"Throw him over" 'Drive ahead" "Smash
| the concerni" -Four cents!" ''Them fares 80
| ''Give me back my fare, I'll walk !"
The situation is getting interesting; the men
passengers getting furious; the women passen-
gers getting pale the driver getting frightened.
Time, fifteen minutes, and the driver gives in
| in preference to going overheard, and consents,
| at last to wake up the horse and drive on.
But where were the fares? No doubt they
| had been passed up and were in somebody's
| pocket for the society of that not all oi
| the choicest. The question for the company is
| whether they mean this sort of thing shall con-
| tinue, to end in riot and smashed car? The
| remedy Is plain enough--cars, with conductors.
| Whether the company will be wise in time is for
| them to seriously consider.

'Invincibles," of the Sixth and Fourteenth
wards. Rodgers, whose sentence is twenty
years, is well known by the alias of 'Skins,
and has served one term for a similar oitense.
The gang numbers thirty odd. Immediately
after the sentence, nearly all the Invincibles
being In Court, one of them managed to COM
municate with Rodgers, as he was going into the
courtroom, to be on the look out that night. A
note was also sent to Rodgers with the follow
ing written thereon:-"Keep a close watch for
us" Meantime, Mr.. Jones, Keeper of the pri-
son, heard of the intended raid, and Chief
Robinson was also made aware of the fact.
Eight extra men were detailed to guard the out
side of the Jail, while Mr. Jones took precautions
to have the inside well watched. Some of the
officers were stationed inside the Court House, so
that they could command unobserved full view
of the prison. During the night, several suspi-
cious persons were seen In the neighborhood
until late hour, but the police force being large
no demonstration was made Yesterday, their
plans were exposed to one of the New York
ward detectives. They had intended to force an
entrance to the rear of the prison through the
washhouse WALL Rodgers and his companion
were to secure the night watchman, and thus
make their escape in turn If they had failed to
pick the locks, then the night watchman was to be
compelled to open the cell DOORS then be imme-
diatelv seized and gagged, and if necessary, he
WAS TO be murdered.

WASHINGTON, ,.Jan.s31Io
1t is fact that While Mr.. Dawes, Chairmaniof
the House Committee on Appropriations ,Ilnfs
cut down the estimates of all the departments,
it is noticed that the estimates for the iegts1a-
tive, or, in other words, the Congressional estl-
mates, have not been reduced from the appro-
priation for the present fiscal year. 80,
Retrenchment and economy will not answer
for Congressional expenses, they cannot be re-
duced, but must apply to the departments, where
reductions by the wholesale have been made of
the estimates Economy is wise and proper,
but it should be an intelligent economy, based
on thorough investigation of the actual wants of
each department, by consulting the Secretaries
of the departments, who it is presumed know
the needs of their respective branches, and their
opinions should have weight with the Committee
on Appropriations and Congress.
u. =. steamer Colossus, formerly the KnIa
ninzOO.
1t is proposed by the Navy Department to alter
the u. s. steamer Colossus, now at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard, by removing her turrets, build
casemates and furnish her with battery of
thirty 15-inch guns, for which the Bureau of
Ordnance have estimated and will cost 5000 000
Other alterations in the vessel are also con-
templated, which, with the guns, will cost in
the aggregate about $1,500,000. Whether these
alterations are made will depend on the action
of Congress in the matter of the submitted esti-
mates for the fiscal year 1S70-71.
Light Ahead for the Navy Yard Employees.
To-day Senator Cragin, chairman of the Senate
Naval Committee, will offer bill authorizing
transfers from one appropriation to another
which has always been the practice urtil the
present fiscal year (having been forbidden by
Congress), which will, it is thought be promptly
passed. If so, the Bureaus of Construction and
Steam Engineering will have the necessary funds
to resume work at the several navy yards, and
the suspension of the workmen will be of short
duration,

il RObbed Of 5000.

IL Robbed OF 5000.
An account has been given of the robbery by
highwaymen of a Mr. Leffert Bergen at Hyde
Park on Friday last, which was not altogether
of A. T. T. Stewart, Esq, in his purchase of the
Hampstead Plains property, delivering the
deeds therefor, and receiving the money for
the farmers, who would often call upon him for
large sums This made 1t necessary for Mr.. Ber-
gen to constantly have about him considerable
money, which fact, it Is supposed, became known
to the robbers. Friday, at p. NJ, he left in the
train for Jamaica, intending to change the money
he had with him, about $1,000, for a check, and
called on Judge Fosdeck OF that place for this
purpose; but, as the Judge was engaged he
deferred 1t until Monday. While at Jamaica
he called only at four places and did not show
his money at either place. He left Jamaica
by the 6 o'clock Northport train for home,
arriving at Hyde Park at 6'15 Neither on the
train nor at Jamaica did he notice any suspi-
cious parties. He left the station Immediately
on its arrival walking up the track, having first
taken off his overeoat, carrying 1t on his arm.
About quarter of a mile from the station is q
large manure heap; just as he had reached this
and as he was leaving the track going down
the embankment, u flash, a deafening report,
and bullet whzzing by his face warned him
himself he saw the robber at his side with re-
yolver pointed at his head. This man he ma
naged to knock down, but was Immediately shot
by another. the ball passing through his leg,
and ut nearly the same time was struck by a
third. Thus overcome, and being completely
at the mercy of his assailants, to rob him was
an easy matter. The three highwaymen secured
amounting to $2070, and then made off, leaving
him in deplorable condition He succeeded
in reaching a neighboring house, where his
friends, who had been notified, found him.
