= EAST MIDDLEBURY.- About three
o'clock on the morning of the 9th inst,
the peg and clothes pin factory built by
9. i, Partridge, now the property of +.
+. Saddler, and the cooper shop and
Il shed belonging thereto were discovered
to be on fire. In all the buildings the
fire had equally progressed when discov-
cred, thus showing that all must have
been fired about the same time, and with
the evident design to make the work
eifectual, as nothing could save either the
buildings, machinery, Or property therein.
These works had not been running since
April They were occupied last by the
Nonotuck Silk Go, of Leeds Mass. for
saving out spool stuff and nearly the
whole was piled under the shed and
burned, as was also their machinery in
the main building. There was also a
large amount of other machinery in the
building The total loss must be twelve

THE SALT LAKE IMBRoGLIo.

The Salt Lake correspondent of the Cincin
natl Commercial, in his letters to that paper
photographs the members of the Fedora
ring" in Utah. and gives each of them any
thing but good character, and exposes the
villainy of Chief Justice Mexican and his Fed
eral clique in their onslaught on polygamy
He says, in speaking of the proceedings agalns
Brigham Young: 1.-THE court which is to try
him packs grand jury to do the work of in
QUESTION:, petit jury to try him, and comes
down itself amongst the lawyers to prosecute
him." The writer exposes the rascally
schemes of the "otfic-ehoders' ring" and shows
up the corruption of the Judges in regard tC
quartz speculations, as well as the many plan:
practiced and matured by them to bldckmai
Salt Lake City and the Mormon people gen
orally; and AYERS that the course pursued in
that Territory, instead of suppressing polyga
my, will "only irritate it to renewed existence u
There is only one exception we take to the
sentiments expressed throughout the whole
letter, and that statement we will attribute
to ignorance and not malice, on the part OF
the writer.
In speaking of the corrupt practices of the
Judges and the results which have followed
from the course pursued by them, he says,
" the public morals of Salt Lake, which, up to
two years ago, barring polygamy, had extorted
the admiration Of travellers, are nearly as bad
as elsewhere in Nevada or Idaho" This is
certainly an uncalled-for "ning" at Idaho.
The tone of public morals in this Territory will
compare favoraby with that of the most en-
lightened and civilized section of any portion
of the United States; and we object to being
placed in the same catalogue with Nevada,
even. Idaho, in her early days, like all new
mining countries. was the theatre wherein was
enacted many tragedies, owing to the presence
in our midst of the crowd of luwless spirits
who always flock to new mining communities,
but We challenge any section of the country,
east, west, north or south, to exhibit more
peaceable and law abiding class of people than
we have now in the Territory of Idaho; and
when we consider the large number OF China
men who are living in our Territory, aud who
are proverbialy law breakers" We think the
tone of public morals in Idaho stands little
above par US compared with other and even
older communities.

AN EASY BERTH-The important news is

AN EASY BERTH-The important news is
sent overland by telegraph that Second Lieut.
Frederick G. Grant, of the Fourth cavalry
has been ordered to report to the General Of
the Army, and that she will accompany Gen
Sherman on his tour of military inspection OF
Europe" This young sprig of the Grant fam.
lily certainly has an easy and comfortable
berth. Drawing pay as Second Lieutenant
in the Army since he graduated at West
Point, he has not seen single days service for
which he has received his pay out of the PEG.
Plies money. immediately after leaving the
Military Academy he was granted furlough
and allowed to enter the service Of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, accompanying a
corps of surveyors in the employ of that COM
pany, on an expedition into the mountains OF
Colorado, and he doubtless drew salary from
the company Not relishing life on the from
tier he is favored with an opportunity to go on
pleasure excursion and make the tour OF
Europe at the public expense. We are not adj
vised as to whether the result of his observa-
tons on the military systems of the European
powers will be embodied in a report to the
War Department for the information of Con-
gress, but presume that he will detail Sherman
for that duty. As his salary, which will be
regularly paid him while absent on this import
ant foreign mission, will be an inadequate COM
pensation for the important and invaluable
services he will render his country, the next
session of Congress will afford an opportuni-
ty to cover the expense by adding section to
the bill, covering deficiencies in appropriations
for the War Department for the past fiscal
year. Lucky young Grant; you have been
granted numerous favors on account of your
being scion OF the reigning dynasty. Your
unfortunate and humble school-mates who
graduated high above you in your class, some
thirty or forty in number. are condemned to
camp-cets and active service, on musty ra-
tons, while you serve your country on pleas
ure excursions, and "trip the light fantastic !"
at receptions and State balls given to Sherman
throughout the capitols of Europe.

DOOMED TO DEATH BY FALSE CIR
CUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

4 remarkable case, showing the
danger of trusting implicitly to cir
cumstantial evidence, has just been
concluded in Toledo. Nearly three
years ago Robert Sharp was found
dead, with shot and slugs in his
brain A man named Harrington,
who had been on intimate terms with
the deceased, was arrested for the
murder. The testimony was wholly
circumstantial, but so skillfuly
worked up" by the detective that
Harrington was convicted and sent
to the Penitentiary. His lawyers
had become interested in the case,
and, although Harrington was a poor
man, they determined to fight his
cause to the end. After long and
arduous struggle through the Dis
trlct and Supreme Courts, an order
for a new trial was obtained, and
that trial has just closed. The main
points in the evidence on which
he was convicted were the APP
parent correspondence of the shot
in the body of the dead man with
that in the shot-baG belonging to
Harrington; the CORE spondence of
pieces of a newspaper found near
the scene of the murder, and assumed
to be part of the gun wadding. with
a torn paper in Harrington's resi-
dence, and a piece in his vest pocket,
and that the motive of the murder
was to be found in the alleged fact
of Sharp having come to Toledo
with several hundred dollars OF
money, which Harrington knew,
and that no one else was so intimate
with Sharp. On the second trial it
was rendered doubtful whether there
was a similarity in the shot. 1t was
clearly proven that the pieces of
paper alleged to have been picked
up at the scene of the murder were
not there at the time of the finding
Of the body, nor for day or two
and the inference was un-
avoidable that they were put there
by the detectives to aid them in
working uD' the case against Har-
rington. 1t was further proven that
Sharp was destitute when he arrived
in Toledo, and Harrington was do
ing his best to aid him in procuring
