the two Gallons, who are accused Of the
murder Of Mr.. and Mrs. Dllley, were in
his employ for several weeks in the tall on
the raft steamers Silver Wave and Jim
Fisk, and that they were Industrious. re-
liable, faithful hands the whole time
were always on hand when wanted, did
their work well. and were never even
suspected OF shirkiug, Only one OF them
went by the name OF Gailiop on the
steamers, however Oue gave his name
as Clement Gallon, aud was called Clem
and the other went by the name OF
Garber. They looked very much alike,
however, aud might be relatives. They
were partner on the steamers. that Is
thew were in the same watch aud always
worked together. When they were PAID
ofF on the tieinx Up Of the Fisk. they said
thev must 90 into the couatry ard get farm

IDAHO,

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. II. Gov Neill,
of Idaho. in his message to the legislature
says polygamy is being rapidly introduced
from Utah. The statute is found defec-
tive. az it is found impossible to prove
ceremony. The territory is in dangersof
becoming second edition of Utah, and
expresses the hope that the legislature
will adopt measures to crush out the
practice; also advises the punishment of
those who advise and preach the doctrine
OF polygamy. recommends that congress
be memo-ialized to amend the act OF 1862,
so a. to make a polygamist cohabitation
after marriage in another territory an
offence.

mock. Absent Aid. Stephens and Reimers
The Mayor stated that be had called this
special meeting in regard to the transfer
OF the Milan bridges and also on the
request OF the special com mittee to confer
with the Board of Supervisors on that
subject, After some discussions Aid,
Lundy offered the following resolution:
Res0tred. That the committee appoint
ed to confer with the Board of Supervi-
sers in relation to the matter of the Rock
River bridges be instructed to tender to
the county of Rock Island without COM
pensation all bridges belonging to the city
of Rock Island which cross Rock River
and its tributaries and all rights and privi.
leges which the city may have acquired
through its charter of the same-tae
county of Rock~I Island to henceforth bear
all expenses of keeping such bridges in
repair.
ln the opinion of City Attorney Corbett
the Law governing the matter in question,
should be ''liberaly" constructed; that
under such construction the city Of Rock
Island had an undoubted right to charge
tolls until May 27, 1882; that this franz
chise clearly existed. and that the city, in
making transfer, could, in his opinion.
safely guarantee the same.
The same was adopted by an unanimous
vote Of the ayes as follows:
Ayes-Browne. Henry, Lundy. Rinck.
Schmid, Spencer, Gray and Warnock.
Nays-None.
Aid. Browne stated that great Inoonve-
nience resulted to the public by not light
ing the streets on nights when the moon
was obscured and offered a resolution to
that effect, which was by request of the
mayor laid over to the next meeting.
Street Superintendent Warren request
ed that the time of collecting poll tax be
extended. as it would be impossible for
him to serve notice On deIinquents in the
specified time. whereupon Aid. Henry
offered an amendment to the poll tax
ordinance changing the date from Jan. J
to March /, which was adopted. Ad

N. Y. Tribune: 1t is rather an i'm
portant fact that the Roman Catholic
Archbishop Taschereau, in Quebec,
has issued a pastoral condemning
trade-unions. He puts in a succinct
form a truth which we have had coca
sion over and over again to assert.
when he says: "a mans labor is his
own, and it is his liberty to sell il at
whatsoever price he p~leases." This
sets forth the gist of the whole
matter. 1t is announced that n
Catholic who shall attack or CON
spire to attack any person, because
such person works at a price which
he thinks fit, shall be excommuni-
Gated. AS the labor troubles have
been considerable in Canada, and the
gross tyranny with which strikes r
usually conducted, has there been par
ticularly rampant, the pronunciamen-
to Of the archbishop against them is
specially timely; and every body whom
the least respects personal independ.
enee and liberty Of choice will be re-
Joiced that his grace has thus spoken.

Burdette is probably lying when
he prints the following letter in the
Hawkeye, as coming from Gen. Nell
kOf:
my DEAR RoBBIE-Your favor
with Enclosure of fifteen dollars is at
hand. | am eternally obliged, and
will hand it to you the first time |
meet you in st. Petersburg. Such a
time as we had in yesterday morning
at the Winter Palace. The car got
out of bed on the wrong side, and was
as cross as two sticks. Nothing
pleased him and toward noon he be-
gan sinking so rapidly that the court
physician was summoned. He talked
with his majesty a few
moments and then said to
me confidently, He needs excite
ment he lacks his usual stimulant.
When was he last shot at?' | said,
Nearly three weeks ago. The ply
stefan shook his head and said it was
enough to kill him and instructed
me to do something. So | fixed it all
up, and when the czar was coming
down the front stairs, l sprung out
from behind a door and hit him an
awful clip with a bolster. Somebody
else hit him in the face with a snow
ball, we threw him through the glass
doors of the conservatory, bounced a
tub of ice water over him, fired a
shotgun behind his head, split
lis coat down the back, emptied
a can of kerosene on his head, kicked
him down the kitchen stairs, and
BACKED his eye with a pair of brass
knuckles. 1t would just have done
you good to see how the old man
frightened up. All he said, rubbing
his hands cheerfully, while tie doctor
was pasting court plaste all over him,
aud a couple Of attendants we're pull
ing sliyers out of his back, All he
said smiling upon us, this is some
thing like living. Meliky, dear, cut
somebody's head of, and we'll go in to
breakfast Eggs are cheap and but
ter is scarce. We haven't had any
rain for nearly two weeks, Love to
your brother John and come and see
me some time. Ever yours"

tellirent business men in Galveston
estimated the amount Of exchanges
between that city and New York at
$50. 000, 900 annually; in Houston it
was placed at SIS, 5000, 900; in Little
Rock, Arkansas, at $4,000, 900; in
Nashville, Tennessee, at 5000, 900 ;
in Denver, at $20,000,000; in San
Francisco, at $3.50, 900, 900; in Toledo,
at $S5O,OOO,0OO in Chicago, $6OO,OOO,-
600.
The annual saving to these cities
alone, assuming the average rate Of
interest to be seven per cent, would
amount to nearly $500, 900; and if we
assume $780, 900 as the entire amount
of interest annually saved it would be
a low estimate. Many merchants es-
timated the benefits they received
from the shortening of time between
the sending aud filing Of orders for
goods as greater even than the saving
of interest, for though the telegraph
is largely used in a certain class Of
transactions, yet the great bulk Of
mercantile orders, where not given by
the purchaser in person, are sent by
mail. About forty times as many
letters as kilograms are sent.
One merchant at Denver said the
fast mail was worth alone to him
100000 a year.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, the section
which | have the honor in part to
represents oreinterested in this mail
service than in all other departments of
the government. You may abolish
the army and navy and all the federal
courts, and the people would hardly
know it but when you touch the mail
service, then you touch every man, l
care not whether he is served by the
railroads or star route for
their mail. They carry 90 per
cent of the mail. The mani
do not care where he is-who gets his
mail in the south, gets it one day ear
lier by reason of this fast mail SER
vice. These facilities which we of
the south get are cut off by action OF
this committee. Only seven or eight
states pay an excess Of revenue to the
post Office department, and they are
all in the north, with the exception
alone of Missouri and yet we of the
south, in the only manner in which
we feel the benifcence of the govern
ment without feeling its burdens, are
now to be plucked short by the action
of the committee on appropriations of
our share of the benefit Of the fast
mail. SALTUs MoHEGAN.
