MORMON WIVES OF THIRTEEN.
New York Times Letter.

I arrived in Utah about the time the
"Inquisitorial Reform" began. The out
side world knows little about this. The
authorities of the Church caused it to be
proclaimed that the people, by their
dilatoriness in taking plural wives, their
scanty payment Of tithes, and other
shortcomings, had displeased the Lord.
The territory was traversed by mission
aries who preached to that effect, and a
confessional was established-or rather
a catechism prepared-With the view Of
every family and it's members. The
country was districted, and teachers"
were appointed for each district. The
duty Of these mentor they were all
men-was to visit every house in their
respective districts, and put the ques-
tions laid down by the head of the
church to each individual alone. These
inquiries searched into the most sacred
relations, and had to be answered
on oath. The result Of this linguistic
rial reform was that the Mormons were
found to be the most iniquitous Of peo-
pie. and Brigham Young decreed gen.
eral baptism Of every male and female
in the church. My house was visited
absence of my husband. I re-
he insisted that 1 should. I took my
husbands rifle and ordered the teacher
to leave the premises at once, which he
did in great haste. Another branch Of
this reform was the instructing of girls
in the Importance of polygamy, and
what their duty was as brides of Goods
chosen people," All girls from the age
of 10 years and upward were compelled
to attend lectures by the Elders on these
subjects. Many Of them, acting on the
doctrine that was inculcated, were led
to become plural wives as young
as 13 years Of age. I never heard
OF any force being used in Salt
Lake City to induce these children

THE SOUTH CAROLINA ROGUE.
TCourier-JournaI.1

The matter of the South Carolina
plunderers grows more interesting
every day. A paragraph in the Charles
ton News and Courier seems to indicate
that Y. J. P. Owens, who WAS reported to
have died in Baltimore last week, Is
not dead at all. That paper says: His
temporal troubles are not yet over. A
requisition will insure his return to
South Carolina, and the proof of
his barren rascality, In stealing
public money and funding stolen cou-
pons, are ready for the intelligent jury
who will honor him with their attention.
Owens could not expect to cheat the
jailer by dying so inopportunely." Ac-
cording to this, it must be somebody
else's corpse instead Of Owens that has
created so much stir in Baltimore. All
the rogues are not to be punished, how
ever. Jones and Woodruff, the clerks
Of the State Senate and House, through
whose connivance the fraudulent
pay certificates were issued and swim
ding contracts for printing made,
have turned States evidence and saved
themselves and their fine houses in
Charleston. Each Of these two ''sur-
renders twenty-eight thousand dollars
of bonanza warrants and all claims
against the State for printing, etc.
Jones also surrenders his Beaufort
property, valued at twelve thousand
dollars, and Woodruff surrenders the
Republican Printing Company's build
ing and fixtures in Columbia, valued at
about seven thousand dollars, and also
claims against the Bank of the State for
one hundred and thirty thousand dol
lars"

Our New School House.

Under the above caption all article up
peared in the COURIER during our absence
which would not have appeared with its
unjust and Objectionable features had it not
been passed in at the eleventh hour and
evaded the eyes OF our proof reader
/ The article. g. far ms it relates to the ar
chitect1lrll and mechanical skill of Mr..
Beall, is correct; but it manifestly treats
Col Chestnut unfairly and tmjustly when it
says ''those Of us who have known hun
longest. feel that his connection with the
buildin" Il merely ornamental" We think
the Colonel's connection with the building
is Just about as .'ornamentaf' as the plow-
hey behind team holding the pillow and
guiding the team. From the time the
contract was awarded. Col. Chestnut has
given the erection of the school building
his constant personal supervision. even to
the neglect OF other important business.
Under the Coionel's able supervision the
builders have not been delayed for want of
material one hour since they commenced
work. "O,mamcntal." indeed! We have
seen him behind wheelbarrow with his
coat off wheeling needed articles to the
building. We wish we had more such ..or-
namental'' men. The Colonel is one of our
most energetic and perSevering citizens
few men in town have more business abil-
ity, in proof of which we refer our read
ers to the fact that he has kept the Boze-
man Planning mills running and made
money there. where other men. and me-
chanics, at that, sank money. Again his
perseverance and Stick-tO-it-ive-ness are
shown in his labors to develop his coal
mine. We do not believe there is another
man in G:illatin county who would stand
by that coal mine as the Colonel has and
does.
Nearly every man in BoZeman, as well
as the man that wrote the article referred
to. knows that Col Chestnut was. in said
article. grossly misrepresented, and we
feel that we cannot condemn it too strong
ly. Even had the accusations against Col.
Chestnut been true, we do not believe we
could have justified the article appearing in
the paper. When Col. Chestnut throws ..all
his energies into anything, something
must be accomplished. and the school |
house to-day stands and will continue to |
stand a noble monument in proof of this
fact.
