q IN s,s Only DE Facto, ss7 tss
81 A Salt Lake telegram of the 9th
ult says: 1siAni2iTo brasd odl -,
In the famous Ann Eliza case against
brigham Young, it was decided to-
day by Judge .Schaeffer; that the de-
fendant and plaintiff, were married
April Is. 1868, de 'tdcto, but not de
lure; that at the time of the de .Jacto
marriage the plaintiff " WasI competent
TO enter into q valid contract but the
defendant was not, because he had q
lawful wife then 'hvihg.' The person,
Sidney Rigdon,; who performed the
marriage ceremony between the de-
fendsnt and Mary Ann, Angel, in
Kirkland, OHIO, in 1S34, had no license
authorizing him 10 perform SUCH cere,
mony, and none was needed ton mako
the marriage valid The plaintiff and
defendant cohabited togsther as man
and wife for several years after their
de fdcto marriage. The defendant de-
serted, ilI-treated, and neglected the
plaintiff, but such de fdcSO0 marriage
was induced, and effected by undue iR-l
fuence and coercion. o..
Conclusion: The plaintiff is not en-.
titled to a becree of divorce !; that the
alleged marriage was and is polyga.
nous, and therefore null and void
that during the time the plaintiff was
with the defendant, as a polygamous
wife. she was serving him as menial
servant, and would be entitled to rea.
sonable compensation for her, service !;
but having received in this instance in
the form of allimOny penQentc Ute
more than such services are shown by
the proof to be reasonably worth, she
should gn b ences without further COM
pensation.

.ysterIous Murder.

Anofher mufdersh has recently been
committed IN The vicinity of Cleveland.
On Sundayafternoon two young men
named Sanford and Willis Ollie, were
strolling through the farm of their
mother, in Euclid township, when
Willis noticed something under the
roots of a maple tree at the foot of
the ridge. Calling the attention-of his
brother to the object, they Immediate
ly descended the rayine to investigate
the matter. They were within about
twelve feet of it when they discover
ed it to be a body. denuded of all
clothing below the waist. The corpse
was lying on its face with the head
doubled under the body. The body
was clad in a dark coat and vest and
q striped shirt, which were pulled up
over the head. IN ~" .' i"'i .af9.fo'
The, body lay in email hollow at
the roots Of the tree, and had evident
ly been covered with leaves, which
the heavy rain of Saturday had wash
ed away. Over the body were the re-
mains of a fire, and near it remnants
of clothing which evidently had beeh
burned in the fire, piece of broken
limb about four feet in length, knotted
at the end and spotted with blood.
This club was in two pieces. as though
broken with the force of the blow.
The mans head showed evidences OF
receiving two lblows-one just over
the left eye, the other on the opposite
side near the temple, and just at the
edge of the scalp. The gentlemen did
not stop to examine the body. but
started Immediately to notify Mr.. ii.
Eddy, one Of the trustees of Euclid
Township. Mr. Eddy, in company
with q Constable, proceeded immedi-
stely to the spot. They took the body
from the hollow in which it lay and
placed it up on the bank ont of the
water. They then went to the city
and notified the Coroner and Police
Authorities. The Coroner knowing
it would be Impossible to make any
investigation at thattime of the eve

that, if Packard was legally elected
Governor and received more votes
than Hayes that the latter does not af-

Mr.. w. ii. Painter, Washington, DC:
Ny DEAR Sir ~ our letter of the
9TH was duly received. You ask
whether remember what l said in
favor of President Hayes in my. en-
jdeavor to procure his nomination at
the Cincinnati convention. l do re-
memberit, after what has since trans
pired, with Indignation and a. ibittor-
ness of soul THAI / never felt before.
You know with what untiring zeal
labored for the emancipation of the
slaves Of the South, and to procure
Justice for them before and during the
time |. was in Congress, and 1 suppos-
ed Governor Hayes was, IN full accord
with me on this subject. But | have

his administration, we find him; closet
ed with two Of the worst and most
malignant enemies of the coiored race
that can be- found ain o all that slave
cursed region, and there, consulting
with. those malefactOrs how best he
can put these coIored people under the
iron heel of their most bitter enemies
and reduce them to a condition inf
Bnitely worse than before they were
made free. i feel that to have eman-
cipated these people, and then to leave
them unprotected, would be a crime
as infamous as to have reduced them
to- slavery, when they were free and
for Hayes to do this to men who, at
the hazard of their lives. have givel,
him the votes without which he never
could haye had power to do this, is
terrible injustice. f, No doubt he, med
itates the destruction of the party that
elected him. a contemplation of all
this fills me with -an,azement and in
'expressible Indignation. My only
consolation is that history informs me
that better men than ever pretended
to be have in a like manner been de-

cuse him by saying that he n'mcans

The-Great struycIs,

A Washington special says Gem
Sherman thinks that the X6Fko- R6s-
sian war will eventually Sdlminste in
the greatest outbreak wAich haS Soccur-I
red for centuries past that Austria
will soon be in it, and that before Con-
stantinople is taken England will
probably interfere, and thus become
involved. He says that alafge army
of Russians will cross the Danube
yUm0Whoso=hetsAA Rustchnk- aud
Varna, and that both of these cities,
with Silestria, will be the scenes Of
severe fighting. The Russians will
push on into Moldavia, and down to
Galatz, if they can get there. At that
place be thinks q terrific battle will be
fought; but in, his opinion the great
field, battle Of the campaign will be
fought at Schumia, the immense forti-
fed camp Of the Turks, He thinks
the Russians are moving with an army
of about three hundred thousand men
in that direction, He is of the opinion
that if the Russians are paying gold
for what they use in the Moldavian
and Wallachian Provinces,P the farmers
will continue To- go on and raise their
crops; but: if they d take by force and
deyastate the country, then the. farm
ers' business in that great producing
country will entirely suspend. He
says the Turks will make q more de-.
termined resistance than they have
ever made before, and that their navy
now in the Black Sea is far superior
to otbe Russian, and, that it would not
surprise him If the Turks perpetrated
bold flank movement and captured
Odessa in the Black Sea, the chief de-
pot of supplies, &c, for the marching
armies of the Char. l. He believes that

HgrI GENERAL BANKS, =,
In an interview during the past week,
said the Administration was just en-
tering upon its new policy, and time
alone would demonstrate whether Mr..
Hayes had made grave mistake, The
vital question is what use will the.
Southern people make OF the power
given them. He expressed the opin-
ion that the extra session of Congress
will be a long one, running for two or
three months, and that there would be
a great deal of general legislation.
rf THE NEW SENATOR.
Judge Spofford (Democrat) elected
U. S. Senator from Louisiana, is a law
yer with few equals in the South. He
was the constant advisor and comran-
ion Of Judge Trumbull and the other
Northern Democrats during the late
electoral Tribunal conspiracy. 1t
is thought here that the election of
Judge Spofford is triumph over the
attempt to disintegrate the Democrat
ic party in the South. 49,.
HAYES AND THE MALIGNANTs.
,s Ben. Wade, like Wendell Phillips
and Mr.. Blaine, has render ed Mi
Hayes the greatest scrvice'in his pow
er by opposing him. Nothing is more
likelyto rally tho Conservatives of the
country than the violent opposition OF
the ultra portion of the Radical party.
These are the men, who in perfectly
cold blood, have songht .systemmat-
ically to influence the passions and
prejudices of others, and by every
devilish art and devise to keep alive
the bitter hatred engendered by civil 1
strife and seemed to have, fortunately
for the country, outlived their useful
ness We consign them to their in
evitible fate, political; death.
