The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-05-27

THE Gar has issued his proclama-
tion in relation to the granting of let
tiers of marque. He accepts of the dec
laration of Paris regarding free navi-
CATION to neutrals, and guarantees a
careful observance of the treaty. The
Gar, whilst lie accepts the provisions
of the treaty, will do just as he-pleases
in relation to the treaty of Paris. What
does he care for the treaty of Paris
after his study of the faith of nations
The Car will simply do this-if it suits
him to keep the treaty he will, and if
he, in connection with those who hedge
him about with "points," arrives at
the conclusion that he does not require
any of the treaty of Paris in his as u
corrective bitters, he will very soon
break the tr'aaiiionnl treaty and take
his straight.

Now, then, does anybody know the
name of the American consul at the
Mexican port opposite Eagle Pass, on
the American shore of the Rio Grande.
He has been the means Of saving four
Mexican refugees from the clutches of
the authorities on the Mexican side-of
which party it is hard to state, there
are SO many of them-but enough that
he has saved them, and he should be
remembered, for by their works ye
shall know them. This consul's efforts
to save the lives of these four miserable
refugees is in striking contrast with the
conduct of Mr.. Fairchild, the Ameri-
can consul general at Liverpool, who is
on a tour of pleasure through France,
and whose name we do remember, who
was obliged to telegraph his friend, the
consul general at London, to be Mt
Liverpool in time to receive the eX-
President, as he himself would be in
Brest. Supposing Mr.. Hayes should
conclude to send the Faircl,ild to the
Rio Grande, salary, probably five hun
dred year, and no perquisites, and the
consul on the Rio Grande to Liverpool,
salary five thousand and perquisites, as
sort Of sequel to all this.

A Mormon Navy.

The Cheyenne LEADER has just
made the important discovery that the
Mormons have large navy on the Salt
Lake. How many ships of line, frigates
and sloops comprise this navy, THE
LEADER doesn't say, but intimates
that unless good watch is kept upon
the fleet by Government officers, the
commandant at Camp Douglas may
wake up some fine morning and find
the Mormon gunboats bombarding his
Notifications. That would be little
rough on Gen. Smith. after he took the
pains to deny that any insurrection is
imminent in Utah. If it is true, how
ever, that large navy is afoat on Salt
Lake, it behooyes us Corinnethians to
be up and doing. We hayen't got any
line of battle ships handy, but there's
John Adams ilat-boat, and we might
rig her mp with Il riiled cannon aft and
have few marines forward with shot
guns. Corinne Record.

Manchester, May 27.-The Guardian
has dispatch from Shumla, dated
Thursday, which says that great con-
centration of troops had been effected
there, and the number within fortifica-
tions and in camp is estimated at 60, 900
infantry and $4,000 horsemen. The
troops are held in constant readiness to
march, but the generals do, not expect
to be called into action for another
month.

London, May 26.-The Turkish SYM
pathizers here are panic-stricken by the
announcement that Mukhtar Pasha
will remove his headquarters to Ere
room. This is a practical aeknowl-
edgement that the attempt to incite a
serious Circassian demonstration
against the invaders has failed. 1t
also means the abandonment of Kars
to its fate, because it has already been
outfianked and because of the probable
inability to hold the Sougatoa passes
against the Russians for want of heavy
guns in position; in which case Ere
room must itself soon fall and the
Turks retreat. The Turks have been
thoroughly out-generaled., 1t is diff
cult to see how even desperate yalor
can retrieve their misfortune. Already
the Russians hold the key to all of the
Black Sea coasts in Asiatic Turkey
worth fighting for. 'Ht-- -.

Eiajor. Reno's Case.

Major Reno has reason to count him.
self most fortunate man, and he has
reason also to accept with the utmost
meekness the comparatively small pun
ishment which the clelnency of the
President leaves him to suffer. The
offense of which he was convicted
was without question. one that
deserves the fullest measure of
condemnation. An officer who
trifes with the wife of brother Off
Ger, however giddy she may be, and
then, While commandant of the camp
in which she is living, endeayors to an
noy her, is eminently- worthy of dis
missal from n military service whose
standard of honor and conduct is high.
The sentence of dismissal which the
court martial passed upon Major Reno
was not one whit too severe for the
offense that it was meant to punish,
and in reducing the punishment to two
years suspension from rank and pay
with severe reprimand, the President
has certainly given as great weight as
was possible to the offending officers
meritorious service in the field, which
is the consideration moving the Presi-
dent to lenity.
But if we look beyond personal con-
siderations, it must be admitted that
other officers may fairly complain of
clemency which retains in service an
officer, however gallant, who has so
stained the reputation of the service,
and so dishonored the uniform which
he wears. We do not condemn the i'm
pulse of the President to deal merci-
fully with an offender who has been a
brave aud efficient soldier, but there
can be no question whatever that an
officer who has done what this one has
been convicted of doing is unfit to re-
main in the army. 1t should be his
care to remember that he remains by
grace of the Presidents clemency, and
not at all because anybody believes his
sentence to have been too severe. New
York Evening Post,

drawing it mild, for the widow would
appear at dinner dressed principally
with a breast-pin, and a very small pin
at that, TO tile no small amazement of
the respectable gentleman and his
wife, the latter, desirous of leaving the
house at once, when the custom be-
came general; but the gentleman hated
to move, and consequently, to-day is
reaping the benefits Of having had any
thing to do with II boarding-house
keeper who would sit up night after
night in her parlor boarder's room,
who happened to be a nice young
man;the lights out and the other
boarders in; bed. The widow
was also in the habit of enticing
other nice young men in her rooms,
and of going into their rooms and kiss
ing them. She was very fond of kiss
ing, this widow, and-well, she did a
great many very imprudent things that
annoyed the young man, her son, and
sent her daughter out of the room in
tears-for widow, until finally the
gentleman and his wife could stand it
no longer, and gave notice that they
should quit, and made preparations for
doing so, and then the widow showed
her hand. She quarreled with the
parting guests, and they evidently lost
their tempers and retaliated III kind,
and insinuated-fata insinuation-tha
the house and the widow were no bet
ter than they should be. This was eX-
actly what the widow wanted, and
quivering with simulated rage, she
rushed off to her lawyers, who re-
ceived her smilingly, heard her whole
story through, and Immediately COM
menced an action against the unfortu-
nate gentleman, placing the damages at
twenty thousand dollars, and although
this evidence has all come out on the
trial, and great deal more of like
damaging nature, yet we are told that
the jury will undoubtedly bring in a
verdict in her favor, because of her pc
culiar position in society as lone and
defenseless but highly connected widow
and boarding-house keeper.
We. hereafter, would advise all those
who are in want of board, to avoid the
widow, or the unmarried woman, or
the boarding house woman with mar
riageable daughters; to shun all such
as they would a pest-house. They are
a snare and delusion, and there is Il
speculation in their eyes, when they re-
gard you as you sit at their feast, as to
your intrinsic value and what they can
get out of you. They are mercenary
and they are treacherous, and as gen.
eral rule, have no character worth men-
tioning, to speak of. The gentleman
who is in danger of losing his twenty
thousand dollars, no doubt, is of that
opinion now, and we would advise
him, that in case the jury does render
verdict against him, to initiate Pick
wick and go to prison, before such 4
harpy as this-boarding house woman
should get one single penny of the
award

THE Corinne Record grows facetious
over the supposed-presumably So
discovery that we have made in con-
nection with her navy. We made no
discovery whatever, but answered her
facetious article relating to the mares
nest that the Herald correspondent had
discovered in a purely facetious man
ner. We are sorry that the Record did
not discover the humor, but it un-
doubtedly discovered the point that we
made. Hence its dab at us with its
pen full of solid matter.
