The MoRMOMs ON THE RAMPA GE.-On
Saturday Governor Woods sent back to the
Utah Legislature with his veto the act provi-
ding for a State Constitutional Convention.
He suggested that without special authority
from Congress the Territorial Legislature has
no right to act upon the question of admission,
that Utah has not the requisite population,
and that unless polygamy be abandoned ''the
people of Utah cannot expect, nor should they
ask admission as a State" The message crea-
ted great excitement in the House. Taylor,
one of the 'apostes," said it was IAN insult, y
and asked, if they had violated any laws, why
were they not punished? They were charged
with polygamy; if contrary to the United
States laws why were they not prosecuted by
the Federal Judges? He threw the message
back in the Governors 5 face, and told hun i
was falsehood. James w. Young said ht
did not care snap for the acts, and asked nc
odds OF the Governor or any other man. Mr.
KIchm md thought they had been ahuse'
long enOtgh," and avOwed himself willing t
die martyr to tn" Mormon cause. Finally
on motion Of Mr.. Young, committee of thre
was appointed to act with similar committee
from the Council "to draft joint resolutio
for the purpose named in the vetoed act !;
also to draft resolutions expressing the sen
OF the House at the offensive charges made b
the Governor.

LOCAL PAPERs-The New York Times says
you might nearly as we'll forget your churches,
your Academy and school houses, as to forget
your local paper. 1t speaks to ten times the
audience that your local minister does, and if it
has any ability at ALL it is read eagerly each
week, from beginning to end. 1t reaches you
all, and if it has lower spirit and less wisdom
than sermon, it has thousand times bet:eE
chance at you. Lying as it does, open on
to yourself to rally literally to it's support, and
exact from it as able, hgh-toned character as
you do from any educator in your midst. 1t
is in no sense beneath notice and care-unless
yourself are below notice and care-for it is
your representative. Indeed in its character
it is the summation of the Importance, interest
and welfare of you all. 1t is the aggregate of
your own consequence, and you cannot ignore
it without miserably depreciating yourselves.

Judge Fullerton has been retained by District

James Fisk, Jr. A New York paper says of
Stokess appearance on being arraigned in

- like bird knOwn by its colors, Stokes
still wore the same conspicuous white chin
chilla beaver overcoat. His ruf1ed shirt front
was, as usual, spotless, but the glittering
an optical magnet was replaced with large
gold stud. With the exception of heavy, dark
lines around his eyes, Stokes's face seemed to
Indicate but little ill effect from his short close
confinement, and no more of an air of anxiety
was discernable on his face than when Mr.
Beach, at the Yerkvile Police Court, asked
Josie if she remembered when she had but ar

The statement in one of the New York
papers of Monday that another prominent
Unitarian clergymen of that city is about to
secede from that communion and join the
Episcopal Church, is making something of a
stir, even at time when new departures of
this character are coming to be so common.
The names most frequently mentioned in con
nection with the report are those of Rev. DIR.
Chaplin and Rev. DR.. Bellows. The tendency of
the time seems to be in favor of Unitarians be-
coming Episcopaians, and Episcopalians, of the
so-calied advanced ritualistic school, becoming

b@An old manuscript has re-
Gently been discovered in Western
New York, containing the following
anecdote of the famous Indian chief
Red Jacket, which is new: He was
once on q visit to a house in Canaan
daigua, and not arriving until after
dinner, the girl was ordered to
make preparations for him. She,
through carelessness or thinking ii
would do well enough for an In
dian, placed on the table a dish Of
meat that had been visited by the
flies. Red Jacket advanced to the
table and seeing the insects busily
engaged in the meat, took the dish
and placed it on the sill OF the door.
stepped back, took his rifle, deliber-
ately took aim, and discharged the
contents through the meat. The
report of the gun alarmed all in the
house. They ran to inquire the
cause. Red Jacket replied that he
always killed his meat before he ate
it. The joke had its desired effect.
