Some time before the failure of the
firm Of Grant & Ward Mrs. Virginia
Corbin, General Grants sister, was in
vited to place money in the firm for
investment. She called at the firm Of
flee, and was introduced to Ferdinand
Ward. She took dislike to him, and,
it said, told Colonel Fred Grant
that she believed Ward was untrust-
worthy. A few days later Mrs. Cor
bin intrusted Colonel Grant with S25-
600, which he invested with. the firm
without her knowledge. When the
crash came General Grant, in looking
over the accounts, discovered that the
firm owed Mrs. Col-bin this amount.
As he was preparing for the end he
charged his family to pay all the debts
caused by his unfortunate connec-
ton with Ward. A day or two ago
Mrs. Grant sent certified check for

A Change.

Some times in the career of peo-
pie, and passing events, it becomes
necessary for changes to take place
in various departments of life, in
order that business may be better
attended to and o unity Of labor
obtained. Although the village
where we are now located is but
comparatively small, and many dis
advantages present themselves to
view, we think we, have many more
advantages, which counter-balance
the disadvantages enough to war
rant the change, in moving from
ST. George to Bloomington. There
is one main thing we lack here and
that is Post Office; but we live in
hopes that the Post Office Depart
ment will yet be generous enough
to grant one in the near future, al
though our hopes may be blasted.
There is population enough in this
vicinity to warrant the establish
ment of Post Office at Blooming
ton, it being but a short distance
from the line OF the mapped mail
route No. 81, 154, from st. George,
Utah, to ST. Thomas, New, and
why an office should not have been
established long ago, we can see no
good reason; only, the people did
not ask for it. We also need an
enterprising blacksmith, who can
run g small farm and yet do The
shop-work that is needed in the Vi
entity. Also a shoemaker who could
be similarly situated, would be
valuable resident, and there is q
splendid opening for the right
persons.
The idea Of going 5 or 6 miles to
get our matchmaker, to get a shoe
mended, or pillow fixed, is indica-
tive of a lack Of energy to push
business and build up the place.
So, let us up and be doing all we
can to unite and encourage Home
institutions that shall prove Of val
lie, to lesson labor and expense,
and make the most of little.

the privilege of having much proof
on the defense! With Juries pack

calls become our peers! all Lat
Iter-day Saints being excluded az
toto. And yet, with all the ill-will
and vile persecution the Salt Lake
Liebune, hireling priests and Mr..
Edmunds with one foot in the
grave?) have been able to heap ON
tho Mormons, they are not satisfied,
but want more legislation for Utah!
oh! what torment their minds
must be in! And won't it be still

man was, with great gulf inter

Abraham to send him Lazarus, SO
he could dip the tip of his finger
in water to cool his tongue? for he
was tormented in the fame!
Behold the crisis is coming!
Have not these men been told of
the judgements that are coming on
the wicked? Wars, rumors of war,
pestilence, famine, earthquakes, cy-
clones, tornadoes, devou1ing fire
and vapor Of smoke, &c. Such
scenes Of strife and turmoil have
not been seen, as will get be acit-
messed on this earth by they that
fight against Zion; "and the des-
tructrion Of the transgressors and
of the sinners shall be together,
and they that forsake the LORD
shall be consumed" Isaiah.
Notwithstanding these men know
it is solely persecution they are
edging on, and can read that the
wicked will "be consumed" yet
some Of them would prefer the
curses" of q Latter-day Saint
rather than their blessing"

present we may expect some pref
ty tight times, unless the heads Of
this Nation remove the obnoxious
element in this territory, (who
make everything so one-sidedl)
and repeal unconstitutional meas
ures, made to annihilate the Nor
mon community, and until this IS
done, there is little hope Of our re-
alizing much Justice in these parts
of this mundane sphere! While
from present appearances OF the
doings in Congress, there is little
hope of any steps being taken to
do any repeating in our favor, time
only can prove what the result will
he.
Because the Latter-day Saints
are not like the world, and love to
see honesty, virtue and uprightness
maintained, we must suffer the con-
sequences! Yet, with all the ca
dummies that are heaped upon us,
it shows up better the state Of the
great Republic, because the first
amendment to our glorious Consti-
tuition, says; "Congress shall make
no lat0 respecting an establish
ment Of religion, on prohibiting
the free exercise hereoJ,' which
our national Government broke
when they passed the Poland Bill
(Pill?), and then overstepped the
bounds again when Mr.. Edmunds
infamous(? ~ measures were passed,
thereby taking away part of the
foundation Of the government, and
unless the break is mended, more
stones will be tumbling out, until
the whole structure will fall with
mighty crash!
In consequence of these harsh
measures, we have had sad scenes
in this Territory the past year,
loving families, where unity reign
ed, have been torn asunder, and
means that should have been used
in their support, have been expen-
ded in defending their rights, and
in extortionate fines. During the
pastyearin Utah, have notase ofre-
Ientless money-seekers given vent
to their ire in waging persecution
against the Latter-day Saints, for
what should not be considered a
crime, -Polygamy,- moral men
marrying and sustaining their
wives and children, while the OPP
pressors Cat least some Of them
revel III iniquity? And have not
those who have been arrested for
RIGHTEOUSNESS, been dismissed and
not prosecuted, because they are!

Not Charity, but Courtesy.


The tart letter of Mr.. Gilbert. the COM
poser, to the Messrs. Harper, of New
York, in which he declined to receive a
check for $50 rendered him by that firm
as an honorarium in recognition of the
TACT that thsy had republished some of
his comic operas, was doubtless the re-
suit of long meditation and bitterness on
his part because there was no interna-
tional copyright. Yet Gilbert and Sulli-
van have not suffered here in America
Their compositions have been produced
in all parts OF the country. and they have
received rich royalties upon them. The
publication of their operas, in view of
their general familiarity, could not be re-
garded as very profitable enterprise.
and IN sending him a present of ten
pounds, merely as compliment, the
Harpers probably gave awav as much as
they made by the operation.
Until some international agreement on
the copyright question can be reached bv
which authors in England can control the
sale of their works in America. and vice
versa, they need not regard as charity
ten pound note given when there is no
obligation to give anything. Gilbert
could give no American publisher anv
property in his works, and the money
that was sent him was complimentary
rather than compensatory. If London
publishers who print American works
would adopt this sociable plan of doing
business, authors on this side wonld
frame their cheeks as curiosities.

HEMENWAY'S SENTENCE.
The LlbeloHs Editor of Ogden Re.
ceives the COURTS Clemency.

Editor Hemenway, the martyr journal
list of Ogden, ives arraigned before Judge
Powers this morning to receive sentence.
He wore sort of self-satisfed express
sion, from which one might hare in
ferred that he was informed beforehand
that his punishment was to be light; and
sure enoughlDit proved to be SO. The
Judge decreed that the missionary editor
should pay fine of 5000 and all costs, on
the first case, and that sentence in the
other two cases would be suspended.
1t is understood that Hemenway has
been permitted for some weeks past to use
the columns of the Ogden Herald in self
eulogies for the purpose of awakening
enough sympathy to cover the fine when
it should be imposed. twill therefore not
surprise those of the public who are fanlil-
lar with the facts to learn that the required
ducats have been paid over and the
gaping doors of the penitentiary denied
the privilege of receiving the distin-
guished literatedr. 1t was still feared by
his friends, however, that his burning de-
sire to pose as a martyr would smother
his discretion and that his fine would pos
sibly be paid after all in the durance vile.

the cases of unlawful cohabitation against |

Serious. Accident

Mr.. Joseph Burton, an attache of the
County Court House, and his wife. met
with rather serious accident yesterday
afternoon while driving to Fort Douglas
Tney were riding in the County's buggy.
and when little distance beyond the
brow OF the hill, the horse became un-
manageable, turned abruptly and made
for town. The vehicle was upset and
the aged couple thrown violently to the
ground. The buggy top and bed were brok-
en- from the running gear and finally the
horse succeeded in dropping everythinebut
the harness, which he brought with him
to town in somewhat demoralized state.
MIR: Burton found that his wrist had been
badly sprained, but aside from this
neither OF them sustained anything more
dangerous than a severe shaking IN

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
A Quiet Day and Probability
That the Peoples Ticket is
Elected.

The election, up to the time the DEMO
GRAFT went to press, has proved very
tame one. The Peoples Reform Ticket
seems to have suffered severe demorali-
cation by the declination of a number of
the nominees to- run on the ticket. and
many of the Peoples party proper pre-
ferred to remain at home rather than
vote for the thinnest and most
undesirable municipal ticket vet
put in the field. The stormy
weather will doubtless be assigned as the
reason for an unprecedentedly light vote
by the NeaOs and Herald, but there are
other reasons, ana we have named them

the vote had run terribly behind
and in the fifth precinct II
the time stated there had only been 76o
votes polled in all, and perhaps NOT
more than ten per cent. of these wera for
the reform Ticket. Some close observers
noticed that quite number of the Peo-
pies party would otear off narrow sin
from the lower end Of the regular ticket
before depositing it, and this, if it has
been practiced extensively, will make a
poor showing for Alfred Solomon. It
may be taken for granted, however. that |

NEWSPAPER MEN ON DEMENT,.
Standing by the Interviews Which
They Had With the Surveyor.
General of Utah.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-The news
paper correspondents were favored to-day
by the Senate Committee on Public Lands
on a matter in which Surveyor General
Dement,, of Utah, isinterested.. Recently
several of the correspondents sent out
interviews with Mr.. Dement, about land
frauds which he had unearthed in Utah.
Perhaps without so intending he smirched
the characters of several Government
officials and prominent citizens. On
Tuesday, before the Committee on Public
Lands of the Senate, Mr.. Dement, denied
the authenticity of the interviews, and,
in reply to Secretary Teller, said he had
no evidence and had made no discovery
that would throw suspicion on any Gov
eminent official or member of Congress.
Answering an inquiry from Governor
Murray asking Mr.. Dement, if he was
responsible for connecting him with the
publications, MIR. Dement, replied by tele-
graph that "all dispatches purporting to
contain an interview with me are base
less fabrications." The correspondents
who telegraphed the interviews to their
papers requested to be heard in support
OF their dispatches, and meeting OF the
Committee was called for that purpose.
John II. Corwin, correspondent of
Chicago paper, read to the committee the
Interview published by his paper on Sat-
urday last, and testified that it was the
substance OF conversation which he had
with Mr.. Dement, on Friday. The infor
nation was given by Mr. Dement, unhes-
itatingly and without reserve, but as Mr..
,0rW1n Ia
ment said that he would prefer that the
matter should not be used at this time,
as 1t was only part of the story. Mr.
Corwln, thinking it pretty good sstart-
err" laughed at the idea of not using it.
and proceeded to write the matter up.
William E. Curtis, another Chicago cor
respondent, to whom Mr.. Corwin gave
the substance of the interview, testified
that the latter, in reference to a state |
ment made by Mr.. Dement,, to the effect !
that United States Senator had received |
money for aiding the passage of CON I
fiscation bill, said that Mr.. Teller's name
was not used.
George q. Balm, a reporter for a New
ork paper, read to Commissioner
Sparks digest of the dispatch sent to
another paper in his city on the subject.
and asked the Commissioner what he
knew about it. General Sparks replied
That he knew no such condition of affairs:
hat the statements were probably exag-
serated. Mr.. Balm saw Mr.. Dement,
alter, and he dictated dispatch to the
effect that the Western land thieves were
powerfully represented in Washington.

THE RAID OF THE DEPUTIES.
A Number of witnesses Arrested
Yesterday, but George q: is
Non Est.

Marshal Ireland and his deputies made
number of arrests yesterday morning.
which will appear quite suggestive, both
on account of their having been deemed
sufficiently important to be made on Sun
day, and because of the prominence OF
the case in the interests of which they
were made. The four homes of George
@. Cannon at West Jordan, and another
one in the Fourteenth ward of this city,
were visited, as also the family OF Mrs.
Emily Little, and from each of them a
number of persons were arrested and re-
quired to give bonds for their appearance
Deputies Smith, Mix and Sprague called
at the Little residence in the Fourteenth
ward early yesterday morning, and sum-
moned the following parties, who were
taken before Judge Zane, in the court
chambers, where they gave bonds as
follows: Mrs. Emily Little, $4,000; Miss
Mary Little, Ella and Georgia, $500 each;
w. c. Morris aud Jesse w. Fox, Jr., be-
coming sureties. Abram Little, young
man perhaps Is or 10 years of age, jumped
the fenc9 and ran off at the first intima-
ton of the proceedings, but his absence
is not important at all.
Marshal Ireland, accompanied by Dep
uties Vandercook, Franks and Collin,
visited the houses of Mr.. Cannon and
arrested the following persons, who were
permitted to give bonds without coming
up town: Mrs. Hester Cannon, $500
bonds; lSarahJ. Butterworth, the house
keeper, $500; Mary Alice Cannon, $500 "A
Martha Z. Cannon, $4,000; Sarah J.
Cannon, $1,000. Fo. all of these parties

matters which the court will discuss and
lot such as to be talked of beforehand
through the press; but it comes from

.bove is an actual fact.
One of the deputies when asked for the
eason for the strange and extended Sab
