John Taylor Addressing the Saints
Their Prosecutions"

Their 'sPerSecatiOnS."
a special dispatch to the Globe
Democrat says, John Taylor ad-
dressed the saints in the Taberna-
Gle yesterday. He referred to his
recent trip. and said he went to
Arizona to ''straighten things out a
little" Some of the brethren were
being prosecuted there and sent to
the American Siberia for living
their religion. He spoke of the
Federal authorities here who are
''peraecuting the saints" as sneaks
and tramps." Fellows with papers
from courts were intruding them
selves into the houses of the saints
to spy on them. There was a limit
to this thing, when forbearance
would cease to be a virtue, but he
didn't want violence nor bloodshed
just now and counseled the people
TO forbear a little longer. as there
would soon be q change. ''The
saints live above the law of man,
they obey the law of God" and he
would never give it up-no, never;
so help him God. The congrega-
ton shouted amen" He denoun-
ced the Edmunds law as infamous,
yet said in obedience to it he had
separated from his wives. The
anti-polygamy law of 1862 had
been declared constitutional at the
expense of human liberty and the
rights of American citizens. The
violation OF this provision of the
Constitution by Congress, the Exc
cutive and Supreme court had eau
sed some Of the saints to think Of
emigratinS to another land for the
preservation of religious liberty
There might be another pilgrim ia
thcrs' day The green house of
John Redding, who forsook polyg-
amy, was burned here this morning.
Cause unknown, loss, $4,000. The
Grand Jury for the February term
OF the 1hlrd District Court was I'M
paneled to-day 1t was purged Of
all tainted with polygamy or be-
lief in it,"
John Taylor, President of the
Church of Latter Day Saints, will
live much longer than the Govern
ment of the United States shall
stand, if he expects to see the time
in this country when the "saints"
will live above, or regardless of the
laws that hold us together as a na-
ton. We are glad to hear him re-
ported as not wanting violence or
bloodshed" at this particular time,
and that he has the discretion to
say so-tbat he couuscls his dupes
to forbear, for q season, with sixty
millions of people who more than
a century ago repelled and forbade
the interference of a priesthood in
civil affairs, and who only conced-
ed to the beasts that perish-polyg-
amous selection for the improve
ment Of the stock.

Captain Morton, who was up
here recently from Fort Apache,
informed us that Indians living
around the post are very indus
trious. They are, also, peaceably
inclined. In travelling from Apache
to Holbrook, Capt. Morton saw
many new settlements in Apache
county, and judged that the county
is being settled up very fast

Movements of the Planets the Last
Month IN the Year.

The sun will reach his extreme southern
declination on the 21st, when winter will
begin and last ninety-two days. His posi-
ton in the sky Wednesday was % deg,
minutes, 10 seconds. He rose yester-
day morning at Gal and sets at 4:5s. He
is now in the constellation Of Capricornus,
The moon phases for the month are as
follows: New on the 9th; first quarter on
the 14th; full on the 21st, and last quarter
on the 2Sth. She will arrive at her de-
scending node on the 14th, at ascending
| node on the 9th, and at perigee on the
22d.
Mercury is sporting in Scorpio, plung-
ing through space with a rapidity that is
simply marvellous. On the 7th he will be
near the moon; on the 9th will appear sta
tionary; on the 18th at perihelion; and on
the 18th at inferior conjunction.
Venus. the beautiful evening star, is the
one bright and particular object in the
western sky. On the 10th she will be in
conjunction with the moon.
Mars on the 9th will be near the moon,
he is still small and unimportant OBJ
Ject, though gradually approaching his
opposition, when he will be near enough
the earth to show the full size of his rudy
disk.
Jupiter is the morning star, rising
shortly after midnight. On the Sth he
Will be in the Constellation of Virgo. near
small star known as Eta Virginus. On
the 10Th ne Will be in quadrature with the
sun, and on the 2Sth near the moon.
saturn, being near opposition, he pre-
sents brilliant appearance TO the I'M
aided eye, and through the telescope he
shows up wonderfully well, with his mag
nlticent ring structure. More than gener-
alton will have passed away-30 years
before he returns to the position in which
we now behold him. just south of him
are some large and brilliant stars, Pro-
cyon, Regulus and Sirius.
Neptune is the Aquarius, the Water
Carrier. On the 18th he will be in opposi-
ton to the sun, his time OF rising beng
co-incidental with that of the SUMS set
ting.

and instrumental, were all admirably ex-
ecuted. This affair was a credit to the
director, Signor Severe Strini. and to
those VINO participated as vocalists and
instrumentalists.
The charity in behalf OF which the con-

served all the benefit it received. After

cling, and the remainder of the evening
was spent socially. Refreshments We're

THE UNITED STATES COURT.
A Days Proceedings Devoid of any
Special Interest.

Special Interest.
There was very little OF interest in the
proceedings Of the United States Circuit
Court yesterday. The first case taken up
was the Walton s. Whann Gpano Co. vs..
Harris d Jones ct al. Bill for injunction,
receiver, etc. A hearing was had on the
rule to show cause why an injunction
should not be granted and a receiver APP
pointed. After argument was heard the
court refused to grant the injunction and
receiver.
Curtis s. Wheeler VS.. L. W. Wortsman.
Verdict was rendered for the plaintiff for
$1,S06, with interest.
The claim case of Curtis s. Wheeler,
plaintiffs in attachment, vs.. Esther
Wortsman, claimant, was then taken UP,
but the trial went over until this MORN
ing. Esther Wortsman is the wife Of L.
w. Wortsman, and claims that she has
bona tide title to the stock of goods levied
on by the plaintiffs as the property
OF Il. w. Wortsman. The plaintiffs
allege that she claims the property
through fraudulent transfer. The
plaintiffs opened their case by Offering the
testimony OF the deputy marshal who
made the levy, showing that l.. W. Worts-
man was in possession of the property at
the time Of the lew. They also offered
in evidence the attachment proceedings
and the Judgment against L. W. WOrts-
man. The claimant then moved for non
suit on the ground that under an attach.
ment for fraud the plaintiff must do some
thing more than show possession in the
defendant. Pending the decision of the
court on this question the case was con.
tinued until to-day.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
SOUTHERN RATE DIFFERENCES
TO BE ARBITRATED.

The Southern Passenger Committee
Organized on a Firm Basis-Commis-
siOnsr Slaughter to assume His Duties
on Jan. 1.-The e. Il. ". s. G. and
w. q a. Trouble.
There is general rejoicing in railroad
circles over the successful organization of
the Southern passenger committee in At
lanta last week. The good feeling shown
by the members OF the committee is an in
dication of the harmony which now eK-
lists and which means the ultimate sue
cess Of the organization. Amy differences
that may hereafter arise between the
Southern lines will be submitted to ar
bitration, and the costly rate wars, are,
for the time being, relegated to the past.
Mercer Slaughter, General Passenger
Agent of the Richmond and Danyille,
who was elected Commissioner of the
committee, is said to be well
fitted for the place. He is a
thorough railroad man, and his long eX-
perience in the railroad business fits him
for the important position. He Will re-
sign his present office at once, and assume
the duties Of his new position about Jan.
l. The committee will meet in January
for the purpose of revising and naming
new rates. At that meeting the trouble
between the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia will probably be settled. The
matter will doubtless be submitted to ar
bitratiOn, which will end it for some time
to come.

Preparing IN Answer.

The counsel for the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad is preparing his answer
to the bill filed in the Superior Court of
Cobb county few days ago, granting an
injunction and asking for the appoint
ment Of a receiver upon the application
of the original stockholders of the COM
pany, who constructed the line from Ma
rietta to Canton, distance of 26 miles.
The counsel hopes to be able to file
his answer on Thursday Of this week. A
final hearing is set for Dec. %. 1t is
thought that Judge Branham, Of the Rome
circuit, or Judge Marshall Clarke. Of the
Atlanta circuit, will preside at the hear
ing. Judge Brown is disqualified, owing
to the fact that his son is one OF the attor-
neys for the applicants, and Judge Fain.
who granted the temporary injunction, it
is ascertained will be out Of the State,
when the application for a receiver Is
agreed and acted upon.

out with pleasing and admirable effect.

the fact that, with one exception. this Is

Among the witnesses summoned before
the Superior Court grand jury is a num-
Der Of negroes from Isle OF Hope. They
came in promptly Monday morning and
enjoyed themselves all day loafing and
gossiping. They wanted to get away at
night, but their case did not come up.
Many were called yesterday again, but
few were chosen. The islanders case did
not come up, and as the shades of night
came on the cOlOred witnesses held an in
dignation meeting, and used language
which, without its meaning in the least
strained, would be considered contempt
by the least sensitive court in the land.
The negroes think that those that came
the farthest should be the first TO testify,
and they kick at having 10 lose two or

The Savannah and Dublin short Line

The proposed Savannah, Dublin and
Western Short Line is exciting considera-
BILE interest in the country between
Savannah and Macon. A leading mover
in the enterprise was interviewed in
Macon on Monday, and said in regard
to it;
'The Macon and Dublin railroad has
not been sold, but it has been fortunate
enough to secure q hacker in the person
of a Philadelphia capitalist who repre-
sents a wealthy syndicate. He and his
partners proposed to furnish the money
necessary TO complete the road according
to the original plans"
What are those plans?'
'The road, as originally projected, was
to run from Savannah, through Dublin to
Macon, with a branch line from Dublin to
Americus and Columbus. This project
will be carried out. The road viii here
after be known as the Savannah, Dublin
and Western. 1t Will pass through a fine
country, and will prove valuable prop
erty."
''Win it be shorter line than the Gen.
trail from Macon to Savannahw
''Yes; shorter by at least so miles. The
road Will be almost direct air line"
sis it the intention OF the syndicate to
build the road at oncep
"Yes; the contract between the stock
holders and the syndicate requires that
the road shall be completed from Dublin
to Macon within twelve months. | I'M
derstand that the Philadelphia capitalist
L have mentioned has said shat the part
of the road between Dublin and Savan-
nah Will also he completed within that
time. j suppose that this Will also be
true Of that part of the line between Dub
lin and Americus."
"Will Macon be the northern outletr'
"That is my understanding. At Macon
the road will have an outlet to Knoxville
by either the East Tennessee. Virginia
and Georgia railroad, or by the COvington
and Macon railroad"
"Wil the citizens of Macon be re-
quested TO subscribe to the capital stock
OF the rOad?'
81 think not. The syndicate does not
desire anybody to take stock in the road,
and has tried to buy that owned by the
projectors OF the road.D
