Mr.. EDITOR Il see in the Weekly
Capitolian an article headed "Indepen-
dentism," deprecating the commingling
of hitherto antipodal spirits and assert
ing that such a state OF things would
be as strange as to see the Mississippi
river running up the Ohio, that there is
place in the democratic ranks for every
honest man !; that it is neither manly
nor courag sousto abandon the colors OF
the battalions to the keeping OF the cor
rupt, which are to be found in every or
ganizatlon, that we must not turn our
back on the grand old Democratic Par
ty. Yes, all correct-every word OF
this may be true-undcniably true, but
where is that grand old Democratic
party under whose banners l have bat
tied all my life and in whose tattered
folds are nesting the brightest glories
Of our country's past! Where? Let
the Editor of the Capitolian, whom we
know to be true to democracy as the
needle is to the pole, tell me where it is
and l am willing to follow him to thu
bitter end. But to close be it "Inde'
pendentism or not, commingling hetero-
geneous political matter or not, some
thing must be done and that id soor
or the good old ship will go under, thu
way things are going on. M.

EET On Saturday night two ne
groes VOORHEES, and Lovin entered
Capt. c.. Fl. Remick's premises
and killing two fine fattening hogs
in the pen, loaded them into a skiff
and made off with them. Capt.
Remick being absent in the city
at the time it was some little
time tefore any clue was obtained
to the depredators. AS soon as a
clue was obtained a warrant was
sworn out for their arrest and
those two valiant and efficient Of
6cers deputy sherifs Fl. B. Lyons
and Geo. e. Lyons were on their
trail. Both were captured and
confessed their crime. They were
given Accommodations in the old
jail and will await the opening Of
the District Court, the 23d inst,
when they will be given employ
ment on the Rail Road and a
striped suit. Lovin is an old
offender, but has heretofore es
capped on legal bubbles and techni
calities, and it IS to be hoped that
evenhanded justice will be meted
out to him this time.

TO MY FRIENDS.

Latinity, and the perfect orator,
who when first mounted on the
pulpit before the learned discus.
sers of Rome, trembled in every
limb and begged to be excused
for all errors, of which he might
be guilty in his first attempt at
public speaking and for his bold
ness to face so many learned and
much older heads. Like Cicero
will l, but not with his ambitious
views, beg forgiveness ofall errors
committed in this, my first attempt
at public writing.
l, being no longer so near the
verge of the dark and hideous
grave, will proceed to the best of
my ability to offer through the
columns of this paper, my pro-
found and heartfelt thanks to my
many friends for their benevolence
to me during my illness. Accept,
most true christians, my cordial
thanks for the masses, novinas,
communions, and ~fervent prayers
offered up by you to our heavenly
Father for my recovery. Rest
assured that you will never be
forgotten by me in either this
world or the. next.
The benevolent physician, who
at the mid of night winds his long
and weary way through snow,
hail, or rain to some lonely cot
tage. enters, sees the little ones
gathered around the bedside, and
relieves the sick parents, often
receives only ingratitude as a re.
ward for his kindness. Shall |
do as theys:-reward my physi'
Clans by ingratitude-an act
abhorred by both God and man !
Bear in mind, kind physicians,
that of such an ungrateful deed
never will l be guilty. Suffice il
to say that l shall ever feel the
warmest gratitude towards you
for your attentive medication to
me.
Many thanks to my friends
who so gratuitously offered thei1
:, services, and who so watchfully
nursed me through all my illness
| thus exposing their lives to thu
dreadful contagion. They did in
: deed, prove themselves to be zeal
, Gus christians f; moreover, th'
heroes of the plain by becomin!
e triumphant over grim death. OF
s upright and noble friends, toreve
) then will your names be written il
my memories. May you enjoy III
ceasing bliss whilst on this terres
tial globe, and when called above
receive your crowns of laurel
treasured there from the hands c
Him, who reigns supreme.
Last but but not least. To m
many friends, who visited me,
offer my heartfelt thanks, an

EVERYBODY IS selecting the men
for the commission 3Iovided for in
the Edmunds bill. 1t seems to oc-
cur to nobody that Mr.. Arthur has
the sole right to select the commits
sioners. 1t also appears to have es-
capped attention Of the masses that
Presidents of the United States have
not, as a rule, paid any
attention to the suggestions
of the people of the territories as to
the persons they would like to have
in the federal offices. There are two
other very important circumstances
in this connection. One of them is
that salary of $4,000 a year goes
with the Office, and the other is that
ten thousand hungry politicians of
the class sent to the terri
tories, are hanging around
Washington ready to gobble
the morsel. Notwithstanding all
these things we are glad to note
that everybody has selected his COM
missioners, and endowed them all
with tie qualifications necessary to
makeIthe law a perfect success.
When President Arthur makes up
the board that is to manipulate the
affairs of Utah during the coming
two or three years, everybody
will remark how incompetent a
person Mr.. Arthur is to stand at
the head of the nation.

THE EDITOR of a Nashville paper
published the story of how a respect
able young lady in that city tried
to win the affections of a young
man who would not let his affections
be won by her. The tale was well
written, and the correct names of
the parties given. Strange as it
may seem, the young lady's mother
cowhided the editor, doing
the business so effectively
that the scribe was confined to his
room several days. When it comes
to such a pass that young ladies
object to the publication of their
love affairs, which helps to sell
newspapers, it is time for editors to
band together for self-protection,
and to enter their solemn protest
against the false modesty of the

THE LEGISLATURE at its late

excusiRg men from the jury box in
such cases, and it would hardly do

primary schools.
