Perhaps this Is the most Interesting

to the opposition in the next presiden

The southern outrage bloody ghst

pal stock in trade for the last eight years
and are al. PLAYED out, some new issues

the defensive.
The first fact to be considered is. that
the majority of the present congress are
states rights men. who believe that more
is to be feared from enlarging the pow

abridging them.-that our danger really
lies in times of peace. in too strong.

CORRESPONDENCE
Another Of Judge Crosbv's Decisions.
LANGDON, Dec 20, 1879.


Editor Of Anh- honopolsst:
Since Judge Crosby has had 50 much
to say in the street and through the Pho
neer-Press concerning his decision IN my
case-that | had misrepresented him,
was biased, &c, ] send another far
worse, that is youched for by some OF
the best citizens OF Cottage Grove, who
say they heard it from his own lips.
1t seems that one Sam. Furbes. a JUS
tce of the peace, fined a man one humid
red dollars, and Tor nine months after
neglected to pay said fine into the county
treasury Tor the use Of the school fund,
as the law It quircs, and upon taiing TO
thus pay it over is liable criminally.
Sam. Furbe4 was indicted by the
grand Jury Of Washington county, and
when brought to trial the ludgt charged
the Jury that because no demand mad
ever been made upon Furbes for the
money, he could not be held guilty OF
any crime.
Now the immediate payment Of
the money into the treasury Is a
duty OF the Justice. As much 50 AS the
collecting; and to make the penalty OF
such crime contingent upon demand
and refusal on the part OF the justice i
to make nonsense Of an obviously Just
and plain provision Of the law.
A Justice is prohibited from marrying
without the parties have first procured 4
license Ii he should marry couple
without one, we presume the justice was
guilty of no crime unless a demand hal
been made upon him to refrain from -
solemnizing the same.

The social question as presented in
polygamy and Chinese women is one
well worthy of the attention OF the pres

an old plygamist as Singer or Brigham
Young should exist or flourish without
punishment, and we suggest as the
proper one, that when Brigham or any
one like him is caught and convicted OF
the crime, his property be contiscated to
build fleets to ship back the abandoned
Chinese women; and it might be well to
avoid leading any truly good men into

prejudice and bigotry avowedly support

succeed.

Fatally Shot

Last Monday strnteer coulE
have been seen on our stitets whose
reckless conduct and bold defiance
of the law, created a strong suspi-
cion in the minds OF the many street
loafers and small boys by whom he
was followed, that something seri
Gus would soon Over-rake him.
The brazen brute snappishly resis-
ted the efforts of some humanita-
rians who endeavored to stop him
III his mad career, and with an eff
frontery unheard of before, on he
went, up one street and down an
other, dressed alone in the nude ap-
parel of nature, his every act bear
beastly character. A Mortified and
hysterical populace demanded Of its
officials that something be done, and
right promptly and effcetually was
it done. A peace officer, inspired
by sense of duty and protfered
reward undertook to abate the
nuisance. In view of the danger
and great difficulty attending his ar
rest it became necessary to shoot
him. The officer, equal to the des-
perate occasion drew his revolver
and fired upon him, three shots TAX
ing effect, two in the right side penc
trating the lungs and one in the
head, from which he survived but a
few moments. The excitement was
widespread, shaking the city from
center to circumference, bringing
out a crowd of old and young eager
to know the cause and result of such
an unusual disturbance in q place
noted of late for its peace and quiet.
With a number of others we imme-
diately repaired to the scene of this
sickening affair, to view the then
almost Iifeless form of the prodigal
victim. We found him lying In a
bed of dust apparently unconscious
of any suffering, with no signs of
life except an occasional gasp for
breath which was rapidly deserving
the body. While thus standing
over death, seriously contemplating
the dreadful tragedy that had just
boon enacted and dropping tear as
we meditated upon the depravity
of man, our revery was broken by
a chuckling voice which proceeded
from a little man in shirt sleeves,
his eyes hid by pair of large green
goggles, who persistently asked
"vas dot dog named Snyder. A
dog it was, but not Snyder. Ho
was a visitor from the country aud
his creed would allow no ono TO
stand between him and death.
Granger was his name.

The Dog Law.

We do think, in all sincerity, and
we believe that majority of our
citizens think with ms, that the dog
law should be repealed. It'll we'll
settled matter that dogs are no more
apt to go mad during tho summer
months than they are in the winter.
The law requiring all owners of
dogs to keep them muzzled is OPP
pressive to the owners and cruel to
the dogs. The shooting of dogs on
the streets is a cruel practice, to say
nothing of the danger to the lives
of citizens. The firing off of guns
or pistols, creates excitement, at
tracts a crowd, aud tends to demon
alize the peace of community.
Repeal tho law; oh! city fathers.
