EIfrret from Editorial Correspondence Of Lato,se'eer
from Washngtoa, Ipra sfh:
"The President asked me if l thought
Collector Mccormick ought to be removed.
replied that / did, for the reason that be
ought never to have been appointed. /
added that in my judgment his appointment
was an offense to the Republican party and
to the people of West Virginia, though l
assumed to speak for myself alone; that
the removal Of General Duval was vicious
and indefensible, aud that Mr.. McCor-
mick was put in that place for the
express purpose of offending the great body
Of West Virginia Republicans, who in the
exercise of their right had dared to prefer
Mr.. Blaine; and that he was appointed also
because Of the service he tried to render
President Arthur. | suggested to the Presi-
dent that a certain letter on file in the
Treasury Department (already Published in
the Intelligencer) would throw a great deal
Of light on the subject. / must not omit to
say that informed the President that Mr.
Mccormick had been repudiated BY his
own Republican county OF Taylor and
BY the Republicans OF his own district,
and that be couldn't be elected dog'pelter
where he lives. This explained, in part,
by saying that Mr.. Mccormick is q narrow,
selfish, dyspep'ic man. who has great tsca-
ity in making enemies and is an adept IN
the art of doing his party harm: Moreover,
said that had information that Collector
Mccormick had succeeded in getting his
Office into great confusion, but the matter
was not of my own knowledge, and |

cient without making point OF this | am

Chief Justice Zane Reads the Mormon Com
spiratorsa Lecture and Dismisses a Batch
of Cases Trumped Up Against GENTLE Of
ficiaIs.
SALT LAKE City, UTAH, December Is.
THE Mormons were treated to another
setback yesterday in their scheme to re-
taliate on Federal officials and prominent
Gentiles. The prosecutions of the latter
on the charge of leWd and lasciyious con-
duct have been going on vigorously
in the Mormon Courts lately.
The defendants, upon conviction in
every case appealing to the District
Court. Yesterday morning the United
States District Attorney refused to prose-
cute the cases, saying they had been
brought through spite, the accused hav-
ing been entrapped by Mormons, who
hired prostitutes to inveigIe susceptible
Gentiles. He moved to dismiss
the appeals and release the
defendants. Chief Justice Zane
granted the motion and read lecture to
the Mormon officials and others who had
put up the job on the Gentiles. He de-
nounced the conspiracy, and declared
that the prosecutions were not in the in
terest OF morality. The Mormons are
much disguised, though they say they
Will go on making making arrests Of those
Gentiles who have been caught in the
conspiracy trap.
