TIE GOVERNORS TEST OATH.
SALT LAKE CITY, Nav p. 1882.

SALE LAKE CITY, May q, 1882.
TO the Editor Of the SAT- Lake Herald
I have noticed for several days in the
HERALD, what purports to be part Of {
test cath" required by Governor Muir
rays Will you please publish it in full
and inform me and many others updsl
what ls y said test oath is authorized?
And Obligs
STRANGER.
The full text of the oath in ques.
ton, as it was received by the HER
AID from the executive Office, ii
being a printed form, is as follows
tie italics being our own:
l do solemnly swear Tor AFFIRM that
am not q bigamist or q polygsmist; thai
I am net q violator of the laws of the
United States prohibiting bigamy Oh
pOlygsmy; that ] do not live or cohsbit
with more than one woman IN the mar
Tiage relation, nor does any relation ex-
let between me and any woman which
hes been entered into or continued in
violation of the said lava Of the United
States prohibiting bigSmy or polygamy
Our correspondent asks "under
what law said test oath is author
lied ?" The HERALD does not
< now, No Salt Lake lawyer know S.
No congressman knows. Nobody
knows. 1t is required not by law,
but by whim of Governor Muir
ray. entirely without author
ity, and every time his Excellency
requires it he becomes law-breaker.
He has the same right to make appli-
cants for official commissions
swear they will not fish on Sunday,
that they have not blasphemed, and
that they pray twice a day and sing
te deanlS, that he has to require the
above oath. Since Murray has been
governor of Utah he has been a law
unto himself: that is to say he has
disregarded the laws and acted
above and beyond them. a law of
Congress required him to GER
tify to the election of the person
receiving the highest number of
votes for delegate to Congress; yet
he paid no attention to it and gave
the certificate of election to the
person who received only about one
vote of every fifteen cast. Cangress
continuously repudiated the act and
administered such a rebuke as no one
with personal and official self
respect would have submitted to and
still retained Office. Governor Muir
rays ''test OATH is extraordinary, is
without the slightest authority, is
in fact unlawful.

"ESMERALDA."

Every day seems to demonstrat,
more and more clearly that The
FrOhman's of Madison Square Thea,
tire fame, are taking the lead in
theatrical matters. EVERYTHING
they take in hand is a success, foI
the reason that they take hold OF
nothing that does not contain the
elements Of success. They engage
only the most able artists, and put
their productions on the boards in
the most finished and artistic stvle.
Hazel Kirke," which has had q
most unparalleled run,is an illustra.
ton of the truth Of this statement
The piece which, under the manage
ment of the Frohmans promises to
be the rival of 'fHazel Kirke." is
'Esmeralda," the production of
which in Salt Lake City is a treat
yet in store for our theat-
rical public. It has in it all
the elements of a success equal
to Hazel Kirke," and is given
nightly by the most finished artists
On the 20eth representation of
"Esmeralda" sovenier was pres
ented to those in attendance. and il
was such one as is well worth
keeping. 1t contains portraits of
the ladies and gentlemen cast in the
play, each portrait being separate.
The portraits are very fine. being
done in the recent photO-litbogranhic
style, are cabinet size, some larger.
and are clear, distinct, and the
height of art. They are done on
heavy card, each being about Ike
inches, and these cards are inclosed
in a paper cover, and tied together
with a neat blue cord. The Last
card has two portraits, those of |
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett and
Mr.. w. H. Gillette, the authors of |
"Esmeralda." On the back oil

Editors Herald:

SALT LAKE CITY, May q, 1882.
Editors Herald:
Are there any watermasters
among US? If SO, where do they
hide themselves on watering days
and especially in watering hours
Do they attend to the proper distri-
button Of the waters in the princi-
pal bitches? Or do the citizens have
to distribute the water to suit them
selves? When a man is irrigating,
he does like to get a fair share of
water, rather than an intermittent
and uncertain stream, to obtain
even which he has to walk up and
down the streets several times, in
stead Of being in his garden and at
tending to the proper distribution
Of the lifegiVing fluid there.
Moreover, have the citizens been
required or merely requested to
clean out the bitches in front of
their lots this spring? Judging
by the ancient appearance of the
form Of many of the bitches, there
has been little requiring and not
much very urgent requesting Of this
kind these many years past. The
streets do not pay for irrigating so
much as the gardens would. Nor
is it very profitable. Instead Of hay
ing one or two feet, cross section, of
a compact ditch, for the water to
course economically through, TO
have it spread over strips of
meadow, ten or twelve feet wide,
along each side Of the streets. Once
more, where are the Watermasters ?
The citizens generally would like
brief interviews with them occasion
ally about these times.

In recent article in opposition to Sem
ator Logan's proposition to devote the
proceeds of the tax on distilled spirits TO
the support of free public SCHOOL, the
Post asserts that those States which have
relied OH their own means and efforts
rather than on the General Government
have been most successful in building up
their public school systems In this con-
nection the Post mentions the State
of Indiana, with its ten-million
fund, as q fine illustration of
what State can do on its own ac-
count. The State of Indiana has done
nobly in the matter of free schools, but
its fund is in the main the result of care
fully outstanding means provided by the
United States. When the surplus reve-
nue. was distributed, almost half CEN
tury ago Indiana put her portion into
her school fund. Long before that time
the General Government had set apart
the sixteenth section of land in each
township for school purposes. Besides
these sections there were swamp lands,
from which much school revenue has
been derived. 1t is creditable to
the State that the bounty of the
National Government has been so
well taken care Of The schools of In
diana are in an onviablo condition of eff
cheney, and the people will see that no
backward step is taken. But it is not
true that Indiana has relied on herself in
this regard. On the contrary, she has
taken and used the money that came
from the surplus revenue and sales of
lands, and her school fund consists largely
her own pledges to pay so much for her
own schools, If all arguments against
Government aidto the public schools can
be disposed of as readily as this the op-
position will be trivial.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Letter.

The letter Of the Attorney-General to
Mr.. Saunders who has been employed
by him to aid the United States attorney
for South Carolina.in the prosecution of
offenders against the election laws, is
highly satisfactory. 1t indicates an in
tention TO lave the Governments law
business attended to. 1t ~ NeIifc2sihin1Iily
positive, and aims at the more inhuen-
tial offenders. He has selected gentle
man of the Democratic faith in taking
Mr.. Saunders, but he states that
this is because he believes that
his high sense of professional honor will
secure the Government his best services,
while his political opinions will convince
the South Carolinians that the prosecu-
tons are not for political effect. This is
an experiment and deserves trial. Mr..
Saunders will find in Judge Melton, the
United States attorney, a practical and
able man. Together they ought to be
able to produce desirable results.
1t IL often said that there can be no po-
litical redemption for South Carolina.
Nor can there he until some brave Dem
ocratic leaders shall determine to try the
power of leadership with the negroes
instead of existing methods. The
blacks would now trust any white men
who would forever abandon and openly
antagonize their old foe, the Bourbon
Democracy. Now is the time for change
If the law-abiding portion of the Demo-
cratic party will range themselves on the
side Of justice and do their whole duty
in the creation of opinion and giving
protection to witnesses and jurors in the
coming trials old party lines can be OBJ
liberated, and South Carolina can in time
be transferred from Bourbon rule to the
rule of the majority under native white
leadership,
