Il ask the repeal of the law Incorporating a per-
petual emigration fund, and the repeal Of all
laws making escheats revert to this company
because by this law the whole sys
tenn of emigration is placed under
the control of church authority because
of laws respecting the establishment of religion,
which are forbidden by the federal Constitution,
and because escheats may properly revert only
to the sovereign power. | recommend the es-
Enlistment of a bureau of emigration, entirely
free from the ecclesiastical court, under the
pervision of an officer of the Territorial govern
ment. Now is the time for the government to
educate the children of Utah by establishing
public schools free in every sense to every child
and non-sectarian in every particular do not
regard the public schools of Utah as free schools.
Many of them are maintained partly by tuition
fees. This makes class distinction. In great
majority of them sectarian tenets are
taught and sectarian songs are sung This
is manifestly wrong Where taxes are paid by
those who not willing to consent to secta-
rianism in public affairs as in public schools
there should be free school houses, and they
should be entirely disconnected from churches.
Marriage should be made civil compact,
and entered into only by persons competent to
contract. They should be declared valid only as
between one man and one woman. Any other
marriage under any circumstances should be
declared void from the beginning. Civil con
tracts should he regarded as religious obligations,
only to be enforced and annulled by the process
of civil law"

BROOKLYN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Annual Meeting Of the AssOciatiOn-Re-

New YORK, Jan. 15.-The annual meeting of
the New York and Brooklyn Association of Con
gregational Churches was held this morning in
Plymouth Church. The moderator, Rev. J. G.
Roberts, called the meeting to order. The at
tendance was small. Henry Ward Beecher, who
is not member of the association, was request

Piled After the different pastors had reported
on the condition of their churches Mr.. Beecher
addressed the meeting. He said:
when l began to preach, my congregation
largely did not know what orthodoxy was, but
at last they are beginning to find out The
work in detail of my own church l perhaps
know less about than almost any other, it
spread out so widely. The Mayhower
Mission and the Bethel are really churches with

diminished and the charities of the church are
more widely extended than ever before. 1

the years go L have to go on and night
cometh, when no man can work Although l
am seventy years past, think l can do as much
work. with less fatigue than l did in middle
life l like to work"
Mr.. Beecher in giving a few facts about the
history of Plymouth Church, said: This ground
occupied by the old First Presbyterian
Church, of which Dr. Cox was pastor. The
ground and buildings were bought by Mr. How
ard, Henry c. Bowen, and Mr. Hall. l at first
did not care to receive a call from a commercial
body of men, but still, in October of that fall. 1
came and commenced my work here. L had a
strong faith that the spirit in which the church
was conducted was a spirit which would live L
commended that this church must be revival

Mr. Beecher went on and gave some reminis-
cences of other Congregational churches in the
city. He felt panied when he heard it said Ply

THE MUTT TRIAL.
A Number of Witnesses Examined in Behalf
of the Prosecution.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 15-The second day of the
Mutt trial made no diminution in the number of
persons seeking admission. Mrs. Mutt and
daughter Lizzie, heavily veiled were present
and sat short distance from the prisoners dock
John Boyle, of Fayette county, made the
opening argument for the prosecution, and out
lined the case. Eight witnesses were examined
at the morning session, who told the story of
the shooting as already published. When Officer
Pegg arrested Mutt he said, Jim, you've done
bad work You have killed Dukes and 1
think another man." Mutt said, Gam sorry for
the other man, but Dukes I couldn't help" The
defense tried to prove that Dukes was armed,
tanned by the court.
A large number of witnesses were examined
for the prosecution during the afternoon. The
testimony, however, with the exception Of John
Messmore, boy nine years old, and Anderson
Craft and George Grimes, who in the major sub
stantiated Messmores testimony, was repeti-
ton of what has been told by other witnesses.
Messmore, in straightforward manner, said
that on the afternoon of the day that Dukes was
killed he was playing with Willie Mutt at the
latter's house. Jim Mutt and his Uncle Steve
were shooting at board against the carriage
house. Several shots were fired, and when his
Uncle Steve went home he told Jim not to fail.
Craft and Grimes testified to hearing shooting at
Nuts residence the same afternoon. Sheriff
Hoover, of Fayette county, testified that Mutt
told him he had to kill Dukes, and was prepared
for it.

THE BEARS" STILL ON TOP.
Wheat Refuses to Advance, and the
Bulls" Are Sick at Heart.
An Excellent Prospect for a Continuance of
Low Prices-TO-Day Looked Forward
to with Apprehension.
Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.


CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Wheat still refuses to
bulge, and the bulls" are sick at heart 1t is
now two weeks past the time when the bulge
began last year. Those who loaded up heavily
with May wheat at $l.O7 find margins at 10 cents
per bushel oppressive. The prospect that they
may be called on for 10 cents more is dishearten-
ing, and each days proceedings on Change
makes such possibility seem a very dangerous
probability. That the tendency of wheat is per-
sistently downward is unmistakable from the in
dications Change to-day. The filing of
long line of Shorts" both here and in
New York, powcrless to bring up prices
Schwartz & Dupee, Murray, Lester and others
bought heavily. Murray is said to have covered
at least 800 900 bushels of his short sales, and
many Others covered to like or greater extent
May heat closed trife stronger, at SO 3Sc
This was owing to heavy transaction just be-
fore the close between Lester and Roach. 1t is
reported that this transaction amounted to a
round five hundred thousand bushels, Roach
being the purchaser. The prospects were never
better for low prices-so say the bears" The
heavy fall of is especially favorable to a
large wheat crop, and the present stock is amply
sufficient to meet all demands upon it.
Corn and provisions are looked upon as more
of a purchase. That corn is bound to advance
does not admit of a doubt, anditis whispered that
the country is not so very full of hogs after ALL
the packers to the contrary. Notwithstanding,
pork was strong all day, and closed at better
figure than has been noticed for number
of days. May corn closed at SOC, Use
above the opening, and 3-Sc above yesterdays
close. There was great activity in everything
and rumors that New York was getting very
tired of wheat seemed to invest even the ''bulls"
here with public spirited though reckless joy
at its downfall.
| On the call there was depression, occasoned
by rumors of heavy failures in New York This
continued on the curb, where it was widely
ported, and apparently on good authority, that
George NJ. Pullman had gone under. Although
this denied, it had it's effect, and everything
was very weak Some anxiety is felt for the
morrow, but it is believed by leading operators
that the trade here is in too protected condi-
ton to suffer
