A T0rmentel Woman.
Apopka, Florida.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who signs herself "Tormen-
ted woman" defines her position thus:
Il am pestered with offers. Now |
never offered to marry a man | never had
the presumption to say to a gentleman:
"Ifvo will be my exclusive companion
for life, | will support you l will be a
mother toyour children. As to c%ongeniali-
ty, why, I've only seen you in company
dress, but you please me in that, and I'll
take it for granted that in all their intrica-
cies and complications our natures will
come into perfect sympathy and c%onsangni-
nifty with each other. But men will make
such propositions after a six weeks ac-
quaintance, when in reality they know no
more of the oman whom they ask to
marry them than they do of the man in
the moon.
There are men who will propose mar
rage to us, whose business would keep
them two.thirds of the time in the wilds
on the continent. They seem to imagine
that the honor of their name and alliance
would be sufficient compensation for a life
spent two-thirds in the conditions of grass
widowhood, or of one entirely subject to
the privations of the backwoods. There
are others, confirmed invalids, who be-
cause we are pleasing to them, elect us to
the station Of their nurse for life. Others
are as poor as poverty, yet not for a mo-
ment do they hesitate to offer us shares in
their like poverty.
"You men are deluded on this subject
of matrimony. You meet a woman attrac-
tive to you, and forthwith you conclude
that the be3all and end-all of her existence
here is a place in your own private cage,
where she is to sing for your own exclu-
sive benefit. We propose soon to take a
hand in this worlds little game; we're
trying to learn from you how you've
managed SO long and so successfully to
stock the cards we propose to trump our
share of the tricks and see hat the honors
are more equally divided; we may not all
vote, or Shrek, or oficiate, as platform
statuary fora Stanton or an Anthony, but
things are working /; a new deal all around
is being quietly shnffled out, and ina year
or two more some Of you gentlemen who
deem all a woman's fitness to be her max
ing your beds, cooking your food, scrub
bing your floors and rocking your cradles
will be astonished by the positions held by
us.n

Gentle residents here are organizing
a cavalry company. Over 100 names
are already enrolled.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 10
The Grand Jury for the Third Dis
trict were empaneled this morning.
All polygainists were excused, and
. the Mormon journals are very bitter
on the United States law officers in
consequence. Chief Justice Neck
ain, in his charge to the Grand
Jury, said:
wYou are summoned not to try
criminal cases, but to say what Grim
inal cases shall be presented for trial.
In the discharge of this duty you
will be governed by the same prlnci-
pies of law which govern grand jul
ries in Maine and Montana, in Geor-
gia and Arizona. The principles of
law are everywhere applicable
throughout the republic.
1.-THE crimes of murder, arson,
larceny, bigamy, adultery and riot
in Utah are the same crimes through
out the Christian dominion. If there
is anything peculiar in the situation
in Utah, it is the peculiar conduct
of some men here, and not any Pc
culiar principle OF policy that are to
be enforced here.
"Utah belongs to the United
States, and those who obey its laws
must and shall be protected i'll their
rights, and those who do not must
answer at the bar of Justice and
those men of influence who, in prac-
tice, defantly trample on the laws
themselves, and by precept teach
others to do so, should be the first
to feel the firm grip of the law, rather
than the obscure men whom they
have misled. Gentlemen, it is your
duty and mine to enforce the laws.
Let us do SO without favor, affection,
prejudice, or hope of reward
Salt Lake, Sept. 23.-The Grand
Jury has adjourned until Tuesday.
Rumors of indictments OF high Nor
mons continue. Squads are drilling
at night who T supposed to be
Mornions. 1t is generally thought
the crisis is at hand. ~
Salt Lake City, Sept. 2j.-The
Mormons deny that Brigham Young
will evade process of Court or Grand
Jury ; say he will obey summons as
a witness, or submit even to a war
rant of arrest, but will not yield to
imprisonment.
Washington, Sept. 26.-The fed
eral Judge of Utah has forbidden
Mormon courts to exercise chancery
or common law Jurisdiction.
Brigham Young directs his bish-
ops to continue chancery and COM
mon law jurisdiction.
Young will submit to processes
from the federal court, but will resist
imprisonment.
Salt Lake, Sept. ga number of
Mormons are sending their families
away, apprehending a collision be-
tween the United States authorities
and Mormons.
Salt Lake City, Sept. 2S.-There
is much excitement here to-day,
caused by the reported arrest of
Brigham Young. No arrest has
been made, but it is expected. It is
stated ON good authority that Brig
ham Young will meet all the charges
brought against him, as a law-abi-
ding citizen, and will offer no oppo-
sition to an arrest.
