Washington: Mr.. French, auditor
of railroad accounts, to-day received
from some unknown person, a copy of
a circular dated New York, 18th inst,
and issued by Fisk & Hatch, in which
the auditor is charged with unfairness
in preparing statements on which the
attorney general based his recent
action against the Central Pacific rail-
way company. French asserted to-day
that this circular contains such COM
ments and reflections on him as in his
opinion may require for his v~indication
the publication of a full statement of
the whole matter at issue between him
and the Central Pacific company, and
which would include all the cores
pondence and official figures necessary
to a complete understanding of the
position he has taken.

In the course Of his sermon last Sun
day Henry Ward Beecher remarked:
.sThere are men wishing that l would
go out of the Congregational church.
l won't go; I'm going to stay, and love
my enemies. and I've got business for
life; 1 have endeavored TO be a Chris
tian, and in my ministry o. love not to
disgrace the church; i am welded to
the church Of my father; l love it, and
1 am not going out of 1t because ] have
a different method Of putting the doc
trine, some different method Of putting
the doctrine. of regeneration, a different
method of putting the doctrine of at
tenement Of Christ, and because l dis
allow eschatology of the church. They
say l must 60 out; and ! say. with Paul,
il you want me TO go out, come and
fetch me; | refuse to 60 out. The
power Of a patient, long suffering love,
that is my ordination. l don't despise
creeds, but l believe in liberty of think
ing. The Christian church should allow
me the largest liberty of thinking, If
their lives are holy, rather than kick
them out, to go into other denomina-
tions. 1t is more important that l
should be allowed to preach differently
from others in the church, than to get
out and be an example that in this
church l can't preach what God has
taught me; he INTENDED TO die in the
Congregational church; he settled in
the church on 1900 a year, but didn't
know how much he would die on"

The spreading or arormonism

Notwithstanding that the laws and
public opinion are against it, Mormon
ism seems to be spreading in the far
west to such an extent that the Terri
tories adjourning Utah are becoming
alarmed at the prospect, and are organ
izing in opposition to it. Gov. Neil, of
Idaho, has sent two messages to the ter
ritorial legislature on the subject, which
only had the effect, according to a dis
patch, to put the Mormon members in
a great rage, and the body adjourned
without taking any action. Gov. Neil
says that the Mormon leaders shrewdly
calculated that
.By making a large community inter-
ested in the crime, the members OF the
society can be more easily persuaded
and influenced to aid in carrying into
execution the political schemes of the
Priesthood. The law regards the poly
ganist as a criminal, and all civilized
society l0oils upon n plural wife as 4
concubine, and upon her children, to
c.se the least offensive term, as illegiti-
mate. When a penalty is imposed BY
law, the pciygamist aturally goes Tor
protection and defense to the church.
Banished from and ostracised by all
other society, the plural wife and her
children turn instinctively TO the same
institution for sympathy.
Gov. Neil declares that the Mormons
are making rapid strides toward the
attainment Of temporal power on the
Pacific coast. Utah is already com
pletely under their control, and by the
spreading-out policy they arc seeking &c
subdue even the states of Nevada and
Colorado, and the territories of Ari.

The practice of polygamy under the
name of religion is one Of the greatest
anomalies of the present century, the
other parallel wonder being that a free
and enlightened government like our
should allow It to exist at all. 1t Is
certainly a burning shame and a dis.
grace to the republican party, that this
foul blotch upon the nations good
name has not long ago been wholly Grad
icated from our soil, or at least put il
the way Of gradual extinction. TIL,

Mrs. Sarah Ray, the first white wo-
man who ever ventured into Leadville,

pays her an income of $4,000 a year.
Mrs. Ray has n history, which if pub

mapped out roads, built houses, and at
n time took in washing from the

interviewed her recently she told how
in Lead vile she braved the dangers
and storms of winter before there were
any buildings to inhabit; now her little
daughter had to be wrapped up in heavy
blankets to keep her from freezing,

a hut; how, when the place became
settled she saw the land that she had

years old, weighs about 140 pounds,

Notions of the First Settlers.

MIR. w. II. H. Amidon, one of the first
settlers in the town of Chinatown, Wis,
and one of the most industrious and hard
working men in the county, has been very
severely troubled with rheumatic pains
during the past few years, so much at
times, that he was disabled from perform
ing manual labor. Learning of the wond-
erful cures effected by the use of st. Ja-
cob's Oil, he procured few bottles and
experienced immediate relief. Many 9th
ers of our acquaintance have used it and
express themselves as highly gratifedr
with the relief it has afforded them. This
king of medicines can be bought every
where.
