who made him what be Is officially to :
day. When upbraided for his migrate
full conduct In working for Emery as
against Ewing, his reply was that ne
didn't know Ewing wanted the once:
"Don't repeat that to me, if you please,
saws his interIocutor, Col. Welfey, of
Ohio, "for l know better; you sat many
an hour in his Office before going to
Utah and heard the subject discussed, so
don't tell me you didn't know" or words
to that effect. The fact of it Is, your
Chief Justice had better be hunting q
gravel pit where he can dig, for he has
aroused a storm of indignation II this
latitude and in high places.
Much of the above will Doubtless
prove interesting as veil az entertain
ing information to Judge Hunter.
Just how be can worm himself back
into the good graces of the Tribune,
after this bucket of slops. true or false,
it is difficult to premise, unless it shall
prove that he is constructed On the
Little HOLSTER principle. and capable
of swallowing al the filth that our
neighbor pleases to set before him.
Yesterday morning Postmaster
Lynch came in for some severe cuts
at the hands OF the organ lash. Now,
if there are two things in this wide
world that Mr.. Lynch prides himself
10, they are, first, his faithfu!ness tC
the rabid faction of aati-Mormons-
in ether words to the Tribune section
OF the Gentle party; and, SECOND
official correctness and integrity. Mr.
Lynch was 10 earnest in voiding anti
Mormon bile upon one of the congress
slonsl parties that visited the city lag
summer as to fairly disgust the Law
makers, one of whom suggested tina
the Iostmaster must be either mean
himself or regard the coHgressmel
as a band of lunatics. Heretofore III
man has stood higher on the Tribune
list Of friends than Mr.. Lynch, bu
the latter having interested himseliil

Lynch's act
Suggests the question whether on

! th-t want of confidence is felt in hi
official integrity, and that several citizen

In the case Of Postmaster Lynch

should be very humble recantatio

As this gubernatorial fight with it

pretty k. tie Of fab. We can deriv
a good deal of amusement frou
