A BIG LAW SUIT.

The State of Texas to Rring Suit Against
The United States Government To Max Q
them Pay for the Loss of Their Slave
Property.
ST. LOUIS. Dec.'6.-Further facts regard
ing the suit to be brought before the court
of claims in Washington for the recovery
of the value of slaves in Texas are as fol-
lows: It is alleged that Texas was admit
ted to the Union under peculiar and diff
ferent circumstances from any of the
other states, and this action will be
broug hit in good faith, on the advice of
some of the best lawyers in Texas and
without any idea of creating political ex-
cltement. The negotiations for the annex
alton of Texas began during TYler's
administration and the joint resolutions
providing for its annexetion by the presi-
dent on March l, 1S45. These resolutions
contained conditions and guarantees the
most significant of which, in rega.d to
the pre- sent case, is as follows:
Section 3. New states of convenient
size, not exceeding four in number, III ad-
dition to the said state of Texas, and hav-
ing sufficient population, may
hereafter, By consent of SAID
state be formed out of the territory there
of, which shall be entitled to admission
under the provisions of the federal consti-
tuition, and such states as may be forme d
out of that portion of said territory lying
south of thirty six degrees thirty minutes
of north latitude, commonly known as the
Missouri compromise l1ns, shall be
admitted into the union with or with
out slavery as the people of
each state asking admission may desire.
The Texans took advantage of this and
in framing their state constitution under
which they would be willing to come into
the union, they stretched the slavery guar
antee to the limits which the lawyers of
the present day think makes the United
States government responsible for the loss
CT slave property. At the next congress
of the United States this constitution was
submitted and provoked long and bitter
struggle, and it is noted that tbs clauses
in it upon which this litigation will be
based, were then pointed out as not only
Objectionable but dangerous, and virtually
making congress guarantee slave property
The constitution was finally accepted
however, and the joint resolutions adopted
admitting Texas into the union.

SALT LAKE OPINION.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec, eth 9
Ne,cs, a Mormon organ, in its leader says;
The presidents message will be hailed by
the hireling clergy with pleasure and re-
ceive any amount of popular support. It
is not shown in what way the destruction
of our local government would affect this
question of polygamy. Plural marriages
of Mormons not recognized by territorial
laws cauld not be dissolved by commits
sion, by edios, by armies or by any other
earthly power. They are ecclesiastical
and are perpetual and eternal until the
Mormons become recreant to their faith
with high heaven. Those unions will he
recognized by the Almighty Being who
esta5lishee them for the benefit of his
peoples and the fulness of his glory
The presidents remarks on Utah polyga-
my do not add to the force of his message.
nor the credit of his craftsmanship. They
are sop to bigots and a breath to the
flame of popular passion. 1t is doubtful
if they will have practical bearing on
congress, they certainly will create no COM
motion among the God-fearing people in
Utah.

Then started for the Rockies, but liked
this country, and settled here. At first the
change helped me, but about three years ago
the benefit ceased. Then failed so rapidly
that could be out of bed only part of each
day. All my old symptoms returned. At
this crisis, party of Eastern gentlemen,
ON A BUFFALO HUNT,
made my house their headquarters. In the
party was a DR.. Wakefield, who informed ME
that had b. case of incurable Bright's
Disease, and gave me preparation which
might, he said, ease me for few weeks or
months, but that was the best that could be
done Around the bottle was newspaper.
and sat in my chair lookingit over when my
eye proyidentially fell upon an article relating
a most wonderful cure Of Bright's disease
the very malady that was killing me-by the
use OF Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
(of Rochester, N. W. Convinced that
further delay would be fatal, and everything
else failing, the ext morning dispatched one
of my boys to the nearest railroad station,
many miles distant, to obtain bottle of the
Safe Cure. The druggist said the demand for
the Cure was SO great he could not keep it in
stock. and he had to send to Kansas City for
more. 1t was more than a week before it ar
rived, and l was daily getting weaker. But it
came at last, and at once began to take it.
When told DIR. Wakefield what was taking
he gave me look, half of scorn, half of pity,
as much as to say:
POOR FELLOW!
he is putting his trust in humbug.' Never.
theiess l persevercd, and for the past year
and half l have been as stoNt aud rugged
as ever was in my life. After escaping the
attacks Of Indians and half dozen doctors,
l was lying at the mercy Of still more
dreadful foe that was about giving me the
finishing blow, when. that great remedy
stepped in, slew my adversary, and placed me
firmly on my feet once more. l have COM
menced preaching again; for look upon the
circumstances and manner of my cure as q
direct interposition of Providence, and to
Providence are my services due. That is my
story. think it is as good rs romance
and much better, for it is true"

A Lighthouse Keepers Escape.

On the highest peak of the hills OF
the Highlands of Navasink, N. j., stand
the famous twin lighthouses. During
the heavy storms of last week Job
Smith, the assistant keeper, was i'm
prisoned there for four consecutive DAYS
keeping the lights burning through the
dense fogs that yelled the coast for that
period. While thus engaged Smith had
a narrow escape from terrible DEATH
The lard-oil which is used in the great
lanterns of the Fresnel light is easily
chilled. and the nightbeing very cold it
was necessary to apply heat to the pipe
through which the oil passes to the
burners. Smith used the ordinary alco-
hol t'ambeau provided for that purpose
Standing directly underneath the Ian
tern he held the .tiambeau above his
head. From some unexplained cause
the top of the alcohOl-holder became
detached, and the fluid. which ignited.
poured down upon his head. He rashed
down the tower into the main building
and out of doors. and throwing himself
into a snow-bank he succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames. His hair and
beard were singed and his clothing was
burned and scorched, while about his
face and hands he received painful in
iurieS. Returning to the lighthouse
he succeeded in lighting both the lamps
and nursed his burns while keerinc
watch over them during the night In
the morning he succeeded in signalling
to the lower Highlands for assistance
The head keeper was summoned and
Smith was conveyed to his home. Al
though he will be ,disfgurcd for, life his
condition is not considered critical.
