POLYGAmY.

| Mrs Ann Eliza Young, in letter
tto Mrs. President Hayes. gives an in.
lteresting description Of polygamy IN
the household. In the close, in speak
ling Of the two Mormon women who
visited the White House and pleaded
FOR the unholy practice, she says:
Nor did these women speak the
truth when they said that polygamy
3gives all children fathers and all wo-
men husbands AS q rule, the men
care only for the children Of the fa-
lvorite, and those Of other wives look
wistfally or jealousy on, seeing all
fasors and carcssas bestowed npon
the others. This particular circum-
stance awakens most bitter and evil
feelings in the hearts of the sighted
mothers aud children, and fosters a
feeling Of superiority aud arrogance
in those who arc favored. Can it be
= holy system which fosters such vile
feelings as this system Of polygamy
does? II propriety permitted, tales
could be told that would turn every
pure.minded person sick with horror,
and fill them with pain, to think that
100000 people wcre so deluded and
demoraized. Has this system kept
women from the insane asylum and
the suicides grave? Has it made
women cheerful, happy, healthful
wives and mpt1ers, and kept despair
and utter helplessness from creeping
into their hearts and faces? To these
questions | can say no, thousand
times no, and know that what | say is
true in Gods sight It has utterly
crushed the lives and broken the hearts
OF thousands OF women, as | can
speak from personal eXperience-hay-
ing barely escaped being one in the
general ruin.
She declares that the right of suf-
frage only rivets their chains by caus-
ing them to vote rs their masters die
tate. She concludes:
Poly gamy desolates every home
which it enters Surely il will neith-
or be improper nor unwise for you to
exert your influence against that vast
and increasing crime 1t is opposed
to all that you prize in domestic and
social life; itmakes the civilized Chris
Ian home impossible. Even if you
,an only do but little, though Nou can
1nly speak words Of sympathy, such
words will speedily be waited west

A Hill Thief.

A soldier, whose name is unknown,
entered Dyer's hotel yesterday morning
about 4 O'Clock. He stood around APP
parently drunk, until Mr.. Ed. Gleason,
the night clerk, was called into another
part of the hotel for a few minutes,
when this soldier stepped behind the
bar, and went through the till
When the clerk returned, the soldier
was missing, but he did not discover
the theft of the money until about a
half hour after. Officer j. F. Curran
was notified at once of the occurrence,
and the soldier fully described. Cur
raj went forth to hunt up the culprit,
and found him a few moments after
wards in a saloon on Sixteenth street,
in the act Of treating a party of hang
ers-on about the place. When arrested
he had S35.75 on his person; very near
ly the amount, it is thought, that he
took from the drawer.
The soldier now lies in the county
jail. He will have his preliminary ex-
animation to-day. IL the charge is
sustained, he will be bound wei to APP
pear for trial at the next term of the
district court. The outlook Is rather
dark, and in all probability he will
finally be sent to the penitentiary for
his dishonesty.

A DEPUTY AUDITOR.

HHHaa.NH WAX r2HHH4a~
Auditor France has appointed Mr..
E. A Slack, of this city, deputy audi
tor. Mr.. Slack accompanied Auditor
France to Laramie City yesterday, to
be present at the turning over of the
books and records of the auditors
office by Col. S. w. Downey.
The appointment of a deputy by Mr..
France was made necessary by the de-
termination of the Governor to enforce
the law which requires that the auditor
and treasurer ''shall keep their respec-
tive Offices at the seat of government. :"
Mr.. France has accordingly arranged
to have the routine duties of the office
attended to by a deputy, himself visit
ing Cheyenne from time to time for
general oversight. All communities
tions intended for the auditor should be
addressed to Hon. Jas. France, Terri
torial Auditor, Cheyenne, Wyo.
The excellent qualifications of Mr..
Slack, together with the fact of his
having been very strongly pressed for
the first position by prominent citizens
in all the counties of this territory,
doubtless determined the choice of Mr..
France. We are especially pleased with
the selection. as we always are when a
newspaper man gets a wcll-paying
office. The journalistic profession is
not a lucrative one in this section, it is
all hard work, and but little pay. The
expenses necessarily incurred in pub
fishing a newspaper here are very great;
and we know from a ten years expert
ence, that the returns of the business
are not commensurate with the outlay.
The appointment or election of a news
paper nan to a good Office, therefore,
gives us pleasure, and stimulates the
members Of the profession to greater
efforts in behalf of the people for whom
they labor.
But to return to the authorship.
The territory may he congratulated on
the location of the office where the law
and public convenience required it to be
as well as on the selection of good mel
| to perform the duties which belong to it

was in no sense a candidate for that

by the Governor, after q very careful
consideration of the whole matter, be-
cause Of his universally recognized fit

because it wasbelieved his appointment

Upon this subject the San Antonio

Several prominent stock raisers and

It's, 900 to 200, 900 head as the number
of this years. cattle drive from Texas.
The margin in the cattle-d driving bust
ness is now considered SO close that
buyers hesitate before they close a con
tract. Profits are estimated by cents
almost, to where they were formerly
calculated by dollars.
Cattle in western Texas are scarce,
and, with the little profit now made,
there are many advocates of stopping
the drive entirely for a few years, in
order to restock the country and there
by reduce the supply, and consequently
increase the demand in the north. This
plan would no doubt be a money max
ing one If our stockmen could afford to
wait. Let the northwest become
drained Of its cattle, and the old
prices ror Texas cattle would revive,
and then our stock could readily be
sold at rates far In advance of what is
now considered entirely too high. and
this, it is believed, could be accom-
plished by stopping the drive for a year

HANGED UNTIL DEAD.
Eugene Avery Tells the Story Of His Crimes

On Saturday morning the LEADER
published, Geographically, a brief ac-
count of the execution of Avery at
Portland, Oregon. Parties now in
Cheyenne who knew Avery when he
lived here say he was a man of ungov-
ernable passionsand regarded ahard Gus
toner on general principles. When led
to the scaffold on Friday he made a
confession, from which we CLEAN this
extract:
Gentlemen, you see before you a man
that has caused a great deal of excite
ment in Oregon. In California l was
chief Of a gang of robbers, and left
there to come to Oregon to see what /
could spot. 1 was to return, and with
others was to undertake to rob the
bank Of Mclaughlin in San Jose. Two
Spaniards, a white man and myself
were to do this. / will never tell who
they are who were with me in this.
L have faced death in every shape,
manner and form, and no one ever
made me take water. The fifth day
after l got out Of San Quentin, l was
out late at night in San Francisco, see
ing what l could in changing up,n or
g%arroting any one
/ was raised by Christian parents,
but was reckless and wild. After i
came to Colorado and Wyoming l did
not listen to their teachings, aud now
l am here to-day. Would to God 1 had
listened to my mothers teachings; but
l went from worse to worse-the com
panion of short card players, thieves
gamblers, c0unterfeiters and worse.
Oh! God, think Of my sad fatel List
en- to my advice, you men. Obi that
had listened to my mothers voicel J
hold no grudge against the governor
for not saving my life. God directed
his actions.

Habeas Corpus.

Robt. Jones, held by a recent prelimi-

on the charge of an attempt to commit
rape upon Mrs. Josephine Preshaw, and
committed in default of bond, had a

Ware Peck on a writ of habeas corpus.
Several witnesses were heard in the
case, but the testimony was so over
whelmingly against him, that he was
remanded to jail to await the due

hundred million-or nothing. He
writes to a friend in Cheyenne that the
only drawback is the fact that the gold
in some places is covered by a layer of
silver between seventy-fve and a hun
dred feet thick. He has a force of
1,500 men constantly at work digging
through the silver, which thus far has
