MYSTERIOUS DEATH,
A Young Lady Finds tho Corpse OF
Mother in the Woods.

A Young Lady Finds the Corpse OF Her
Mother in the Woods.
Near Deturksville, a farming village Of
the Blue mountains, a young daughter of
Samuel Kintzler started to 90 to the Dun
ker church, few miles distant from her
home, whittier her mother had gone early
in the morning. The young lady, while
passing through thickly settled portion
of the woods on narrow path, beheld
whas she thought to be a human. form.
Too frightened to make an examination
she quickly retraced her steps homeward,
and meeting a neighbor returned to the
spot. The grief OF tho young girl, when
she discovered the lifeless body lying in
tho path was that of her mother, was be.
yond control. 1t is believed Mrs. Kintzler
was returning home from her visit, when
she was seized with paralysis and fell
dead by the roadside, as there were no
marks of violence on her person Or any in
dications that death was caused in any
other manner.

Ir is very unfortunate for much-needed
public Information on topic of present
popular interest, that a man who Occu-
pies such Il favorable position to furnish
it as the governor of Utah can give no
better statement of the crisis > in that
territory than is furnished by Gov. Muir
rays article on this subject in the last
number of the North 1meri,am Rcrietr.
Although assuming to be an exposition
of the present " crisis,' much of it is
very trite narrative all of it is written
in poor style and with too manifest
bias to carry much weight with it,
and in the effort which it makes
to convey to outsiders i we'll defined idea
of the situation in Utah it is failure.
TO assert that the Mormons are an ignOr
ant majority of the population, and yet
deprive the wcalthier and more educated
minority of any share of political control,
is only to say that there is in Utah 4
condition of affairs which prevails in
many other parts of the country. 1t has
often been shown that Mormon reports
of the conditions of things in the terri
tory are atrocious lies; too often the
statements of the Gentiles are equally
highly colored. What the country wants
is some truthful information about
Utah.

ExtOrtfOnSte Freight Rates.

EDS. INTEILeENCBR.-In an article in
the columns of your paper OF the l3th
inst. see the following question. viz. ::
"What is the tonnage per mile on Presl-
dent Roberts road for the CD miles from
Columbia to Marietta %
I'll answer that question, and sorrOw-
fully, too, that it is about &c. per ton per
mile on freight for the line of the Reading
& Columbia r. r. and connections.
The stockholders of the =. Il. X. have
but one ticket presented to them. and IL
they vote at all they must vote for Presi-
dent Roberts, who evidently mistakes his
calling.
Messrs. Editors Who is this Geo. l..
Roberts, who talks ono way and acts the
other: AS developer he isn't much.
LUMBER MERCHANT.
MARIETTA, Pa, March 16, 1882.
The above letter is Il prompt and direct
answer to an interrogatory propounded
in these columns the other day. 1t
seems that the Pennsylvania railroad
company takes advantage Of its mo-
nopoly of line between Columbia and
Marietta, on which it has very heavy
freight patrons, to charge most extor-
tionate rate of freight for such traffic rs
goes over the Reading Il Columbia rail
road. 1t is such abuse of opportunities
as this that naturally excites hostility
to railway corporations, and Identifies
them with lnonopolies. The rate for
these three miles of road is OF course
based on 10 sense of fairness and no
standard of ordinary expense and profit.
1t is simply riling Oh ofeverything the
case will stand. There happens to be a
very long and steep hill between Column
bia and Marietta, which is barrier to
wagon transportation, Or of course the
p. II. r. freight rate could not bc main
tanned ut its present eXOrbitant figure,
brt it shows the disposition of the COM
pany to take advantage of those who are
at its mercy

QUITE naturally the editor of the Lam
caster Inquirer finds no profit in hold
ing any controversy with the INTELLI-
GENCER.' just as naturally the Inquirer
fails to make any answer to the follow
ing query propounded to it for two sue.
cessive weeks by the INTELLiGENCEE ::
And as the Inquirer sets up for a censor
of editorial ethics and wants to know if a
lie is ever justifiable it may as well answer
at the outset of the discussion, why it has
denied that when its editor ran for Cou-
gress he gave Levi Sensenig his note for
$4,000, to be paid if elected-the note,
pending his defeat, being held by mu-
tual friend.

WHAT particularly pure and honest
man this pure and honest John Sherman
must be The stationery for his presi-
Dental campaign was stolen from the
government and the sugar and lemons :;
likewise the gas fixtures for the COM
mittee rooms, flowers and perfumery.
His private carriages were mended at
the government expense, his house re-
paired, his library furnished with book
shelves and his stable with horse troughs!
And all of this Mr.. Sherman never dis
covered, until it was exposed for the ben
eft of the public. He never dreamed
such things were going on, and he wants
to say ''emphatically and without equivO-
cation, that no man ever worked for me
while l was secretary of the treasury,
who was on the rolls of the treasury de-
partment during Office hours, but what
he was either paid for it by Mr.. Pitney
out of my own pocket or at least
supposed he was" Supposing his
disclaimer to be true, there are GER
tain things undenied and undeniable,
that are as much to Sherman'S discredit
AS this abuse of his confidence and of the
public treasury by his wicked friends.
John Sherman worked" the secretary
ship of the treasury for all it was worth to
secure his nomination to the presidency.
He appointed men to federal positions to
help his cause, and removed those who
hindered it. He had special agents of
the treasury, employed at S6or So aday
by the government, running all over the
country, working up his boom, and they
were at Chicago buying negro votes for
him. 1t is not much wonder his friends
ut the Washington end of the line deem
ed it no harm to engage i'll their petty
peculations for the benefit Of their chief.

SO influential Republican journal as
the New York Times can do itself and
its party no discredit, and may do some
good, by raising its voice against the ger
rymander, for which the season is at hand
in the new apportionment of states into
congressional districts. In Massachu-
sets, where Gerry himself first gave the
name to this infamous practice, the Re-
publicans are scheming to erase every
Democratic district in the state, though
in order to do it, they have to parcel out
the Democratic city of Boston among
four country districts. In Virginia
the Mahonittes threaten to carve up the
state so as to get nearly all the congress-
men. The Times truthfully says, leach
state should be divided into districts as
compact and symmetrical as practicable
and containing as nearly as practicable
an equal number of inhabitants )" and
we have always maintained that 4 map
of boundaries and the census tables
should be the only guides in making an
apportionment. No party would lose
much in the country at large by a fair
deal, but each claims that its generosity
in one state would he taken advantage of
by the opposition in another. These are
days, however, when fair dealing in pol
itics is apt to meet the commendation OF
fair men and it would be we'll for some
party in some state to try the experiment
of decent apportionment. While there
is hope of this we would be sorry to see
the suggestion of the Times adopted, that
national authority Ike extended to the
'sabolition of the district system and the
election of members Of Congress by. gen.
eral ticket under method of voting
which would secure proportionate mi
nority representation" The reasonable
tendency is toward district representa-
tion, even to the proposed choice of
presidential electors by districts.
