Liberation of Brigham.

Intelligence from Utah ap-
prises us of the escape Of Brig
ham Young from justice, but
we trust it will be only tenn
porary. The native courts OF
that Territory have boldly
thrown down the gauntlet to
the United States Government
and declared that it has nc
jurisdiction over them, mas
much as it is n State which has
expressed a desire to enter the
Union, though not yet recog-
nized. This nice point, we pre-.
sumo, will be discussed by the
Supreme Court at Washing,
ton, though we can scarcely be.
lieve it will be admitted. -
Mean while, it is the duty of
the President to adopt some
decided course of action, for,
though Brigham can scarcely
be held responsible for hom-
icide alleged to have been COM
mitted by his followers ten or
twelve years ago, when his
realm was undoubtedly beyond
United States control, it is i'm
possible that the Federal Gov
ernment can permit his abom-
Unable system of polygamy
longer to exist. The sooner,
therefore, that General Grant
issues an amnesty for the past
the better; but considering
that Utah has now been virtu-
ally incorporated with tn e
Union by means of the Pacific
Railway, he must at the same
time see that the Saints con.
form to its laws and customs.

The Right Kind of Talk.

The IIarrisburgh Patrio
thus refers to the Cincinnati
nominations:
II destroyes our antagonists
and enables us to steer clear o
all "entangling alliance" ano
dangerous experiments, and t'
move to victory upon the ten
cts of our own faith and by the
power of our own organiza'
tions.
Our plain duty is before us
1t is to nominate the best man
and to pledge him to admins
ter the government with hon
esty and in purity, to protec'
the rights of the States, tc
give to the people the right o.
local self.government, to sub
ordinate the military to the
civil power, and to protect,
preserve and defend the consti
tuition.
And the following is from
the Philadelphia Sunday Mer-
curry:
And now we come to the
Democratic party-the grand
old invincible and eternal par
ty that no adversely has ever
been able to crush or dismay
that has withstood the storm:
of more than three-fourths of q
century and "still lives" in the
hearts Of the people. En-
bracing a majority of the white
men of the country, it is dis
tined to redeem and rule this
land in the future as it did SO
long in the past. X Il Il The
Democracy have the game in
their own hands, and all that is
now necessary to their success
is judicious action; for even
should Greeley and Brown de.
cline to run, the Radical party
is SO demoralized, that the
Democrats can elect their can,
didates, if they will proceed
with judgment and prudence.
That they may so act is the
prayer of all who desire the
preservation and perpetuation
Of American liberty.

Outrage.

{ In adjourning the Ohio Gen
eral Assembly without provl-
ding for the election of dele
gates to the Constitutional Con
ventiou, a great outrage has
been committed upon popular
rights. 1t was not discretion
ary with the Legislature, bu'
its imperative duty, under the
Constitution which its mem
bers had sworn to support, tc
fix a time for the choice of del
egates and designate the place
where their session should be
held. For its non-action on
this question, the Republican
majority in the Legislature
should be held to a strict &C
countability by the people
whose will has been disregard
ed.

The most unscrupuIous
partizan General Assembly
that ever sat in Ohio was the one
that adjourned a few days ago
The Senate, when it first met,
was composed Of IS Republic
cans and l8 Democrats, but the

their presiding officer, Lieut..
Gov. Mueller, violated the law
and the decision of the State
Supreme Court, as well as set.
tied parliamentary law, in the
ouSting Of a Democratic Sem
ator from his seat, and the ad'
mission of his competitor who
was not elected, in order to Sc
cure a working Republican
majority in the body, and thus
carry through all the schemes
of the Republican caucus
This object was accomplished.
The session lasted nominally
100 days, at q cost of $1,000 a
day. About one third of this
time was lost in "adjournments
over" and an unusual number
Of absentees.

The intelligence which comes
from Washington indicates
clearly that the managers Of
the regular Republican party
are hurt. They are holding

ocracy will make nominatio ms.
This, he thinks, will open the
way to him.

is to run from the East by the

When it reaches the lake the
road is to be built out into the

there be book-shelves to the height

the tops of the bookcases with
marble, and place thereupon plenty
of china, which always looks cheer
full. Let the wall be hung with pic

and happy turn for recovering its

Letters and I,atter WritinR.

We arenot now so distant as form
erly in the commencementof ofour let
ters, and use more friendly openings
tsuch as s'Dear Sir" MY dear Sir
than our fathers did "Sir," alone was
once nearly universal, but is now
unusually considered cold. Even
Howell, who was most inventive in
his endings, usually commences
with "Sir," although once he breaks
forth with "Hail! half of my soul"
Such beginnings as @Right Wor-
shipful Father" "Good Sir" "Hon-
ored Sir" RESPECTED Sir" are quite
out of date, but many writer's adopt
a variety in the commandments and
do not always follow the beaten
track; thus the great Chatham wrote
to his wife: "Be Of good cheer; no
ble love-" In modern letters we
miss the use Of some Of the quaint
and loving expressions Of former
days, such as one, for instance, as
the good old word "heart; if or is
there not alwaysa a charm about an
old letter beginning with the words
oDear Hearth
The ending of a letter requires
some taste, aud many find it as diff
cult to close one gracefully as to
finish conversation and leave a room
with ease. The 81 remain" requires
to be led up to, and not to be added
10 the letter without connection.
There is a large gamut Of choice for
endings, from the official "Your
obedient servant and high and
mighty "Your humble servant" to
the friendly ''yours truly" 'yOurs
sincerely" and yours afFectionately.'
Some persons vary the form, and
slightly intensity the expression, by
placing the word "yours" last, as
Faithfully yours" James Howell
used a great variety of endings, such
as aYours inviolably," Yours entire

" and invariably" Yours really
Yours in no vulgar way Of friend

Aneodote of Ethan Allen

Ethan Allen once passed up
through the Hoosac Valley, and
spent the Sabbath with q friend in
Williamstown, attending church
with him and his family. The first
and second Presidents of Williams
College were square-toed in their
orthodoxy, having far more faith in
Divine wrath and justice than in his
love and mercy, and their sermons
gave evidence of their obedience to
! belief. On this Sabbath the text of
the worthy President Fitch was,
Sand if the righteous scarcely be
saved, where shall the ungodly and
the sinner appear?'
| Firstly-He laid it down as a fact
beyond question that not more than
Ione out of one Thousand would be
saved.
Secondly, thirdly to tWelfthly-
He said that one in fifty thousand
could be saved.
| Ethan Allen took his hat and cane
and prepared to leave. His friend
/ said ''Don't leave now.
/ Seyenteenthly, dropped from the
Presidents lips, who said he had
come to the conclusion that out Of
THE countless millions Of men, not
more than one in a hundred thousand
could be saved.
The old soldier had been growing
uneasy under this rapidly sliding
scale, in which the blanks so multi
piled and the prizes faded from view
He grasped his hat and cane, when
his friend said to him, Don't 60
Iout. He will be through shortly.
He's now up to seventeenthly."
I"Oh no matter" said Allen, @any of
you are welcome to my chance, if tits
