An Outrage.

About 8 o'clock last night telephone
message came down from No. 5 engine
house for the patrol wagon, md
it was hurried up there, when il
was found that an exceedingly outrageous
end apparently wanton attack had been
made upon tho private residence of DR.
Clark, on the corner of Selby avenue and
Kent street. The assault consisted OF
the throwing of stones through the
window of the house. One stone
the largest one weighs not less than two
or three pounds. This one was thrown
through a window, breaking a pane OF
glass two feet by four, and striking lamp
that stood upon the mantle, breaking it in
pieces. Other stones were thrown through
other windows in the house, showing that
a shower of rocks were hurled at it. The
inmates were good deal frightened, and
heard footsteps on the sidewalks, of peo-
pie apparently running away, but not
withstauding efforts we're made, no traces
could be discovered of the perpetrators OF
the outrage.

The railroad commissioner, Gen. Baker,
has been in receipt of many complaints
along the line of the Chicago d North
western railroad as to the rates of fuel,
which had been raised from what were
called 'grasshopper rates" to a figure
which settlers complained we're excessive.
After negotiation by the commissioner the
company have consented to modify the
rates in very considerable degree. This
reduction covers points from GAINESVILLE to
the state line. As, for instance, the rate TO
Redwood Fails, which was eight cents per
100 pounds, is reduced to five and one-naif
cents, and all other stations in aoout Ike
proportion.

Mir. Dudley the Commissioner of Pensions, is pursuing with commen- dable vigor the gang of swindling claim agents who have been operating for many years in Washington. Their infamous performances have been ex- posed many times, but for some reason or other theyihave been allowed to go unpunished. The law provides ample penalties for their offences, and there is now prospect that some of the worst of them will be brought into court and punished. District-Attor- ney Corkhill, an official who is never precipitate in his movements against criminals, has at last become so much aroused by the complaints of pension CTS who have been robbed, that he has determined to bring the matter before the Grand Jury. He says the charac- ter of the enormous frauds perpetra- ted by certain claim agents will, if the allegations made are sustained by the evidence, surprise the public. "The devices employed are," he says, "as numerous as the skill of dishonest men can contrive." There is nothing surprising to the public Tn that state- ment. for its trusa has been demon Istssted 6y pustsd exposures during the past few years.

The report of the Commissioner of Pensi6ns for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, shows that there were 303,65S pensioners on the roll at that date. During the year the names of 38, ,162 new pensioners and the names of796 whose pensions had been dropped previously were placed on the roll, making 3S,95s pensions added during the year, an excess of 10,645 over the preceding yea. The average annual value of each pension was $1O6.1S, and the aggregate annual value of all pensions was $S2,245,ls2, an increase of $2,904, ,09O. The amount paid for pensions was $6O,O64,OO9, exceeding their annual value by several million dollars. The bulk of this excess was on account of arrears of pensions cov- ering the period prior to the allow. ance of claims. The whole number of claims filed since 1861 was 8S6,137, of which 510,03Swere allowed. During the same time$62l ,O7S, ,297 were paid for pensions and the cost of disburse- ment.

It is stated on good authority that the United States District Attorney has received instructions from the de- partment of justice to dismiss tbe in- dictment against Russell G. Wheeler ex-Indian agent of the Maricopa, Pima and Papago Indians. The charges upon which the indictments were pre- ferred, after being fully investigated by the proper officials at Washington, were found groundless. The investi- gation further resulted in fully sus- taining Mir. Wheeler as an honored and faithful official in the performance of his duties.-Tucson Star.
 Does not the dismissal of the indict. ments either reflect upon the grand jury, or smackIof a crooked job on the part of the Ui s. District Attorney If the charges 'were groundless," the question now $. what was the proot before the gnnd jury that justified that inquisitoiial body smirching the chararter of ei-Indian Agent Wheeler by indicting him and putting him te the trouble and expense of a de- fense.

The Utah Commissioners have had an interview with the President. They are divided in opinion whether they shall recommend a government for the Territory by legislative commission, or by commission like that in the District of Columbia. There is no difference of opinion as to the fact that polygamy cannot be destroyed under the Edmunds law, yet they are dis posed to give that law moro credit than it has generally received. They submitted their report to Secretary Teller. In it they intimate that if the Mormon Legislature shall not act in good faith, and enact suitable legisla- tion to carry out the Edmunds law, the Commissioner will recommend to Congress the passage of the severest law possible under tbe constitution. In the matter of polygamy the great CT the oppression the more steadfast will the Mormons become in that pe- culiar tenet of their creed. At no time since their organization have they been as strong, and jealous in the unity of the church as now. They, like the covenanters in Scotland, rather than abate a single iota in the prac- tice of their belief, will be firm to the end. The prop9sition to debar them of the right of suffrage is antagonistic to the spirit of our republican govern ment, and therefore will ultimately fail in the accomplishment of the end proposed.

Among the colored troops there were 46S9 cases of all kinds and 26 deaths or Il per thousand, mean strength.

An exchange suggests that when Congress meets it should agree to postpone all eulogies of deceased mem- bers until the close of the session. Good suggestion; but as Congress never does anything until the holidays are over, why not use this prelimina-
 ry settling time for frescoing the re- mains of departed greatness? Under our present system few living states men attain so much prominence or occupy so much valuable public time as dead one. Ifa Congressman, dies in term time the sad announcement is followed by a general adjournment
 When they consign him to the tomb there is another adjournment tout of respect for the deceased. Finally, when his Congressional friends have had time to prepare themselves, the subject is warmed over again, and that means ( further delay in public business, for no one thinks of climb ing the hill to the Capitol on eulogy days except the great man who wants to hear himself talk. In view of the prominent insignifcance of most of these statemen who die at the Capitol in the Lord and the imperative de- mands of fifty million live constit- ueuts, it is timely enough to call halt on these trapesties of woe. If a public servant Has been of great ser vice, the public can regret his loss without being officially invited to mourn from Washington. If he is not, the less money spent to manufac- ture post-mortoin grandeur the better.

The Arizona Citizen ofthe Sd inst
 indulges its readers with a brief refer ence to the emancipation of the slaves, and credits Col. J. 5. Morgan, Col. 9Oth Regt., N. Y. V., commanding post at Key West, Florida, now a resident of Tucson, Arizona, with having issued the first proclamation that gave liber- ty to the hitherto enthralled blacks, and weaves a lachrymose story of the appalling necessity that led the col onel to take the all important step in advance of the President of the United States and of all others in authority. We are sorry to spoil good story, or pluck leaf from the laurel placed upon the brow of Morgan by the Cit izen, but the truth of history must be vindicated and, therefore, say that the first proclamation declaring freedom to the slaves was issued by Gen. John c. Fremont, kug. 30, 1861, and before Morgan organized the 9Oth N. Y. Vol unteers, and one year preceding his proclatiou dated Key West, August, 1862. Fremont's proclamation was short lived.
