Warning from Senator Morrill, TO
Pension CIRimanta

The following letter from Senator Morrill,
relates to the case of a soldiers widow at
Tunbridge, VT, who paid a Washington at
torney Sl04O before her claim was consider
ed. Soon after the payment was made she
was informed that her claim was rejected.
She then wrote to Senator Morrill,, and this
letter is his reply. Its advice with regard to
letting alone Washington pension agents and
employing home agents should be noted and
needed by everybody who has anything to do
with the pension office

Floral Tributes.

Yesterday, ct the Wells Fargo Expross
Office, were noticed several boxes, which
to the ordinary passsr-by possessed no
more of interest than the usual
shipments of merchandise, fruit. etc,
but on closer inspection revealed the
fact that they were boxes containing
abundant and rare flowers, plucked from
innumerable gardens in this paradise of
bloom. which were being dispatched by
thoug htful hands to be strewn upon
graves afar off Of gallant dead sleeping
beneath colder clods than those OF this
fairer cline. Here was box addressed
to the Post Commander, G.. A. r., at
Ogden, containing seventy.five beautiful
bouquets; another addressed to Upton
Post, Eureka, Nevada; another to the
Post at Reno; and still others to i'd
dresses unnoticed, fraternal and "free-
will offerings" from Frank Bartlett Post
No. 0, g. A. R., and other posts Of this
city, to their comrades where the sob
bing snow as yet nourishes only the
slow. creeping, star eyed arbutus and the
hesitating violet. "Reader, please water
these flowers" pleads the Assistant Ad-
jutant, as ii to say, Keep green the
memory of our lost comrades, which we
hold forever sacred" These be touch

Tus Democrat, County Convention

note for an aggressive and victorious
campaign. We trust that that body
will be characterized by spirit of
harmony. As its principal business is to
send delegates to Stockton to select
delegates for the Chicago Convention it
is highly proper that the preference of
nearly all Los Angeles Democrats for
Mr.. Tilden should be expressed. There
should be no uncertain note as to this
matter. From all sections Of the United
States comes the demand that the old
ticket should be nominated, and it will
probably take the shape of rendering

Whether or no he will accept thu homer

by the event. 1t is pleasant to note
that, from Maine to Texas, from the

disrespect to Gen. Hancock shouli have
been heard four years ago-of Tilden

EACH new development in the dis.

In this regard wa are away behind our

this Is, to some extent, natural, in that

possible to make mistake from this

speech Of senator brown ON the
Utah Biil-A Fearfai Picture
Of the Moral Condition OF New
EuHlAn


Englan
WAsHINGToN, May 27.-SENArE-The
Utah bill was taken up. Brown said
the Edmuuds bill was q shameful viola.
ton of the constitution. He contrasted it
with what he termed the "Polygamy of
of New England" aud the picture he
drew, he said, was drawn more in sor-
row than in anger. There had been
p, 900 divorces granted in New England
within the last twenty years, destroying
q, 900 families and turning loose 81, 900
persons to marry again, all illegally, ex
cept those who were divorced for adul
terry or fornication. Assuming that
one.third OF them had been di
vorced for adultery, it would leave
&c, 600 divorced and married again who
were practising polygamy in New
England, while the commission acting
under the Edmunds bill. after having
searched Utah with test oath, could
lind but twelve hundred men and wo.
men who would not swear they had
never in their lives been guilty of polyg-
amy. Prostitution was practised in
New England to an alarming extent and
f1ticide TO an extent that, II continued.
would, in less than a century, depopulate
New England of its Puritan stock. Tho
churches denounced polygamy and de-
manded its suppression, and the
churches were right, but how then could
they wink at Illegal divorces; how.
without censure, see their ministers
officiating for petty fee at adulterous
marriages. II ministers and churches
did their whole duty, public sentiment
would soon sweep from our statute
books the wicked and immoral divorce
laws. Many persons advocated putting
the MormOns to the sword. 1t would
be an outrage upon morality and de-
cency to attempt the slaughter of
helpless persons because they en-
tertained views OH moral questions
to which they could not subscribe.
Brown turned some sarcastic periods on
what he termed the intermeddling of
New England in other peoples business,
as in the affairs OF the Southern States.
People did not object so much to the
practices in Utah a. to names by which
they were called. There was an i'm
mense amount OF cant aud hypocrisy in
the whole thing. Brown was ready to
sanction all constitutional legislation
which could be devised for the suppress
