TMx DIFFERENCE

1t is now over five weeks since James
A. Garfield was nominated for Pres-
dent by the Chicago Convention. He
has not yet formally accepted the nomi-
nation OF written the customary letter
expected from candidates for that ex
allied position. 1t is supposed that he is
consulting the party leaders relative to
what he shall state in the letter, and as
the views are conflicting, he must in
some way reconcile the differences be-
fore making the letter public. How
different with Abraham Lincoln, the
nominee Of the Republican party when
principles, not spells, was its motto.
Honest Old Abe, who, never accepted
Credit Mobilier stock, or pleaded as
lawyer foe $1,000 fee before Con-
gressional committee of which he was
chairman; who never voted for salary

cisn by returning the money voted to
himself out of the public treasury, sent

Fhe Salt Lake Tribune, the leading
Gentle paper of Utah, is opposed to
the annexation of that Territory to Ne
vada. In this respect the Tribune
agrees with the Mormon papers, some
of which are furious in their opposition
to the scheme. The Tribune thinks
Nevada had better surrender it's State
hood, and return to Territorial con-
dition, than to annex Utah.
The arguments which the Tribune
advances against the consolidation of
the State and Territory will scarcely be
considered convincing. They are, in
substance: That the mines would be
taxed until no miner could remain;
that the offices wonld be filled with
men who would make the laws of the
country subservient to, the laws Of a
creed, and that the annexation would
make the vote of some old Scandina-
vian woman, who does. not know what
country she is i'll or which way she
travelled to get there, equal to that of a.
.aore intelligent person.
These arguments are by no means
conclusive. The proceeds of the mines
are not taxed in Utah as heavily as in
Nevada, and the mining industry seems
to receive as much encouragement there
as here. The fundamental law of the
new State could be amended so as to
prohibit polygamy, and to disfranchise
ALL wno violated the law in that respect.
This would prevent the Mormons from
monopolizing. the offices and making
the laws of the country subservient to
the laws Of a. creed, and as women
would not be permitted to vote, the
dreaded ''old scandinavian woman,
who knows nothing about the country,
would have no voice whatever in deter
mining who should enact or enforce
the laws Of the State
The fears of the Tribune that with
Statehood stretched over Utah and
Nevada the mines would be aban-
doned, and the country would be moth
lag but few farms and stock-ranges,
and that the Court house in Winnie
nucca would be converted into Nor
mon Church and the SILVER STATE Of
fce into a. harem, are wholly unbound
ed. The Tribune Office is not known
~ harem, though it may be one never
theless, and the editor of the Tribune
has not yet, so far as the public are
aware of, been. ordained as Mormon
bishop or had his name recorded in
President Taylor's book, of Saints.
folygamy is now practised to great
ar extent than, it could be under the
Constitution of Nevada, and the gen
oral Government, while professedly OPP
posed to tho peculiar institution, !"
winks at the open violation of the laws
enacted by Congress for it's suppression.
Those laws. have been dead letter ON
the statute books of the United States
for over sixteen years, yet the Tribune
finds no fault with the Federal officers
for not enforcing them. 1t is evident
that to suppress the growth Of polyga-
my Utah will have to, be parcelled out
among the adjoining States and Terri
tories, and if Nevada, with restrictive
laws. could not with safety absorb the
whole Territory. then let it have a
good sized slice, so that it will have
sufficient taxable property and inhabit-
ants to support a State organization.

TELEGRAE,HaC ITEMS.

General Weaver Greenback candi-
date for President, spoke in Scottsburg,
Alabama, last night. He SAID that he:
expected to carry Alabama, Tennessee,
Texas, Mississippi, West Virginia,
Missouri and Kansas, and says he will
make heavy gains in Maryland, Iowa,
Michigan and Minnesota. He says if.
he does not receive majority of the
electoral votes, neither of the candi-
dates will, and the matter will go to-
the House of Representatives. Il
thrown into the House he will stand an
equal show with the rest. De La Ma
tyr, lie claims, has the balance of power
there, and no concession will there be
made by his partisans favorable either
to Democrats or Republicans. In the
event no agreement is reached there
the matter becomes q constitutional
question, and will be with the Senate
as to what disposition shall be made OF
it. He says he will stump every State
he can before the election, but confines
himself to no section. Kearney, he
says, will lend him all his support and
give him California beyond doubt.
At Byers, Colorado, an unknown
tramp, about thirty years old, came to
the depot, and while engaged in con-
versaton, suddenly drew large butch
err knife and gave Samuel Green cut
over the eye. He cut John McGlynn
so that his bowels came out, and then
stabbed Patrick McCracken, the tele--
graph operator, probably fatally, in
the left side. McCracken ran across
the street, followed by the tramp, who
was shot dead by the Constable. The
tramp cannot be identified, but is sup
posed to be maniac.
The New York Herald says of Kear-
ney: There is still chance for him to
become respectable by mounting his
dray and teaching the rowdies by ex-
ample how to make living in some
other way than by stealing; but such a.
course would compel him to keep his
mouth shut, which wonld cause him
unutterable agony.
The report that Colonel Irish, Chief
OF the Bureau of Engraving and Print

w. H, English, Democratic nominee
for Vice President, and his son, who is

The Times Washington special states
that while General Grant was coming
from Emporia, Kansas, he said the
Democrats had hit the nail square on
the head in nominating Hancock, whose
record he admired, and while he had
nothing to say in dearecation of Gar
field, he thought that candidate had
too many volumes of Congressional de-
bates behind him for a smooth can
vass.
M. Gardner, aged II, and H. Fitch,
aged ii, were found dead near Palter
Valley, Mendocino county, California.
One was shot through the head and the
other through the heart. No quarrel
is known to have existed between the
boys, and it is believed to be case of,
murder. A mans tracks were found in
the vicinity, but there is no other clue
to the perpetrator of the deed.
