CHICAGO, February 22-General- Manager
Smith, of the Western Associated Press, fur
nishes the following:
GENERAL OFFICE
WESTERN ASSOCIATED PRESS,
CHICAGO, ILL, February %, 1882.
To the Public:
One week ago there came in the report of
the Western Associated Press from Wash
ington what purported to be a circumstau-
tial account of the testimony OF Mr.. Pitney,
on examination before the Senate committee
making inquiry into the disbursements of
the treasury contingent fund, which reflected
on Ex-Secretary and Mrs. Sherman. While
this report seemed to have been made by
some peraon present at the session of the
committee, it was yet of SO extraordinary a
character as to suggest douot as to its gen.
uneness. This doubt disappeared on the fol-
lowing day, when the Washington correspond
ent informed me that certain parties de-
sired to send some way a sensa-
tional report of the testimony of Emerso H.
This was declined. Iuquiry of the CORE
spondent for the authority for his report as
to the Pitney examination was made. Before
reply could be received by mail, Senators
Sherman and Hale, and also Pitney, pro-
nounced the report false in every particular.
The investigation which was instituted by
the officers OF the Associated Press confirms
the statement made by Senators Sherman
misled by reporter OF the Washington Sta,,
and by a statement coming from prominent
characters at the capitol, whose names are
withheld, as no good could result to anyone
from their publication. The zeal which
certain persons at Washington have shown
to iDjure the ex-secretary of the treasury
through the Associated Press is worthy a
better cause, but they need not fear publicity
through the same fundamentally. 1t is,
however, due to the correspondent that this
much should be stated, although he
deserves censure for being misled into COM
hitting great wrong, not only against
Mr.. Sherman and the Senate committee,
but against the association which had given
him It's confidence and relied ON his pru-
dence, truthfulness and impartiality. This
fault he has acknowledged, and we have as
surances of greater confidence in the future.
This unusual method of addressing the pub
lie is felt to be warranted by the gravity OF
the wrong done and the importance Of placing
the vindication OF distinguished official
and citizen beyond all question. In making
this statement it is also proper to add that
this is the first instance since the organiza-
ton of the Associated Press when designing
persons have succeeded in using its facilities
for an improper and malicious purpose. It
has been tried often, but was never before
successful. 1t is believed this mishap is due
to the inexperience of the correspondent.
WIN. HENRY SMITH, General Manager.

ing polygamy as far as personal opinion goes.
How it is to be with the individuals elected
is for the legislature to decide. The bill Is
certainly not strong measure. Previous
law has made polygamy unlawful, lat lett
the crime Incapable of proof, and the pres
eut act does the same. There may be some
thing done under the clause prohibiting CO.
habitation, If that word be defined in con
struction in such way a. TO bring the state
OF CONSULTATION home to the party accused.
There can be polygamy only when there is
marriage, and as Congress fails in this act to
decide what shall Constitute marriage, the
main difficulty about prosecuting the polyga-
mist appears to remain just where it was.
The provisions TO secure fair registration OF
votes and fair election are an improvement,
for the registration, up to this time, has been
so cuaningly managed as TO leave "the Cen
tiles" little chance to vote, but as the polyga-
mists in opinion can vote just as they have
hitherto done, and as there are one hun
dred and twenty thousand Mormons against
the Gentile's thirty-two thousand, they can
elect the legislature TO suit themselves, and
the Legislature having power to decide the
qualifications Of its members, OF course the
Mormons will continue making the whole
business family affair. On the
whole there is good deal
of Dickens's how-not-to-do-it in the
bill, but taken as "an entering wedge" it is
valuable, as a finality it leaves much to be
desired The displacement of all the pres
ent registration and election offices is spir-
ited and will be beneficial. The Salt Lake ITt-
baae, "Gentile" paper, remarks concerning
this bill: "The Edmunds bill has some strong
points and some weak ones. There is danger
that the law will be spitefully used, and the
same difficulty in proving the guilt of par
ties now living in pol ygamy will be expert
enced that now prevails. But it places the
election machinery of the Territ DRY in loyal
hands, and that will eventually bring about
a change. The bill is not, however, full
enough in this respect. The bill is generous
in its pay OF commissioners; it is faulty in
asmuch as it doubles the work of the secre-
lary and perhaps imposes on him the neces-
,ity of employing assistants and provides for !
40 remuneration to him. The bill is com |
81 sncement; it will help somewhat" |

New YORK, February l9.-In his sermon
to-day the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher startled
his congreg alton by saying: "When l was in
Paris I went to hell" After pause he
continued that with some companions he
visited the Jardin Mabille and saw hosts of
courtesans, many of them comedy and SEEM
ingIy ell-behaved What Mortified him
was the appearance OF the men, who, he was
told, were paid by the city to get up frolics
at that place for the people. If ever he saw
hell written in the faces of men it was when
he gszed into the countenances OF those who
conducted the Jardin Mabille. He pictured
them in his own graphic manner as all that
was fiendish, grasping, corrupt and lustful,
and said that he quickly arrived at the con-
clusion that it would be useless to attempt
their reform alton, because it was too plain
that they we're beyond redemption.

he opened fire on the officers The officers
returned the fire, but failed to regain posses
sion Of their man, who made good his escape.
The recent records of Senatobia prove the
old adage, "All's fair in love and war" A
gentleman OF Longtown secured marriage
license OF the Senatobia clerk on last Satur-
day, which he said was to unite him with one
of Strsyhorn's fairest daughters. Ga the
Monday following we'll known gentleman
of Strsyhorn drove into Senatobia, accom-
panied by a young lady, was licensed, mar
ried, and was well on his way with her in
his buggy on bridal tour TO Holly Springs,
forty-seven miles distant, before even the
clerk discovered that the same lady was reg
istered on his Doc ks TO marry the knight of
LoDgtown.
Mrs. Lou E. Harris died at Coldwater
on the 18th instant. Mrs. Harris was the
youngest OF a family OF seven chill
dren OF the late I. Nicely Caruthers, who
moved from South Carolina in 1925 and SET
tied on Big creek. With the exception of the
death of a child, fifty years ago, Mrs. Harris
is the first death of the children-six living
She was a sister of the Drs. Carathers, of
Como, and ]. S. Caruthers, we'll known
here, now of New Orleans. \ neighbor
to this family was that of the late James
NJ. Barrel, with eight children, only one of
whom has died in the same long period. We
write this item TO show TO the world that
Memphis, outside of her two epidemics, is
healthy as any place south.

FROM LONG BRANCH.
Hearing Before the Tariff Commission.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. II.
William Kent, appraiser of the New York
Custom House in the silk department, made
a statement this morning before the tariff
commission giving the results of his expert
ence in the importation and taxation of silk
and silk mixed goods. His general idea was
a large distinction between certain classes of
silk and silk mixed goods. He said that
duties on silk goods ranged from 40 to 200
per cent. The duties, he thought, should be
simplified. He also expressed the idea that
duties on silk goods might be reduced, as the
manufacturers of this country were on firm
foundation, and had become very wealthy
Several communications were read. among
them one from the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company making inquiries as to the proba-
BILE action of the commission in regard to
wool, the company's Australian contract de-
pended somewhat upon it, and from Charles
Moran of New York with free trade pamph-
let edited by him, and one from New York
importer of glazed bricks, DENYING the state
ment made few days since by a Philadel-
phia manufacturer of gramelled bricks.
The tariff commission received a commun-
ication from A. C. Baldwin suggesting that
Portland cement which now pays 20 per cent
of the invoice cost be put on the free list.

SARATOGA.
Meeting of the Bankers Association.

SARATOGA, Aug. II.
In the Bankers Association, Thursday
morning, Mr.. Henry of Mobile, gave brief
account of the crop prospects OF his state,
which he states are good The planters of
Alabama are getting rid of their incubus OF
debt. The mineral wealth of the State Is
great, and only needs capital to develop IT,
Improvement of the river is doing much Tor
the State. Mr.. Perkins read paper upon
the industrial growth of Mississippi and the
cotton States.
The executive council to-day presented
resolution, which was adopted, in relation to
the amount of notes authorized to be issued
in bonds deposited under the recent amend
ments to the national banking law. 1t claims
that a reasonable construction of section ten
authorizes the comptroller to issue to banks
having over 500 900 capital, circulating notes
in amount to par value OF United States
bonds deposited to secure the same when the
par value does not exceed ninety per cent OF
the circulating value of such bonds; also that
such construction of the law, enlarging, ma
terially, as it would. the foundation on which
rests our system of national bank currency,
would be highly beneficial to all business in
terests, as it would tend to release a consider
able portion of their notes; also that If the
comptroller of the currency shall be unable
to thus cOnstrue the existing law, TINS con-
vention hereby recommends such issue Of
circulating notes to national banks upon
fair basis.
On motion of w. Z. Gould of Portland,
the resolution was adopted and a committee
of three to take into consideration the issues
OF various States regulating savings banks
and present to the association next year a
plan for organizing and maintaing such insti-
tutions where the certain essential features
may be Incorporated into the several State
laws SO that they may be controlled by more
uniform legislation.
The following officers were elected: Geo
S. Coe, President; l.. J. Gage, Vice Presi-
dent. Executive council, and other officers
were reelected. A. ii. Hepburn read pa
per on savings banks dividends and interest,
and W. Williams read paper on the same
subject
