The --latest Charge Against Mr. Ed.
munds.
from the Rutland Herald.

The latest charge against Mr. Edmunds-
and it is deliberately made in Vermont pa
per-is that he lodged the vote on the Fiiz
John Porter bill, not daring to place himself
ON record. This is almost too silly for notice,
and it becomes supremely ridiculous when
the very same paragraph states that he was
paired. He was paired with an ex confeder-
ate. The opinions of both were perfectly
we'll known, for they had voted on this same
question before. The fact that he arranged
pair shows not only that he had no thought
of lodging but took pains to guard against
neglect He intended that his vote should
count and it did count the same a. though
he had been present. And when it is known
that he was at the bedside of his colleague,
who was dangerously i'll, the charge takes on
the character OF malicious mesnness, which
only reveals more clearly the desperation Of
those who would defeat him.

The conversion of General Grant to Por-
ter's side was the greatest victory that Porter
ever gained. But General Grant did not go
to the bottom of the case by any means. He
took Porter's explanation of his disobedience
and examined the map to ascertain its rea-
condolences The fact that road which Por-
ter was expected to travel was blocked with
wagons so that the march could not have
been made in the time contemplated in
Popes order satisfied Grant that Porter was
rght-in dsobeying it. But it did not satisfy
other soldiers who were just as good judges
az General Grant The fact was that Porter
had received several orders to move and had
disobeyed every one of them. He heard the
battle raging and was within easy march OF
it, knew that his troops were greatly needed,
knew that he could strike the enemy on the
flank and in such manner as not to endan
ger his own force for be could connect hit
right with Pope's left, but he held aloof
knowing all the while that Pope waj being
driven. . He ought to have been shot
But he was spared and has made a long fgh
for vindication

The XIc.orIou. Puritan.

The annual regatta Of the Eastern Yacht
Club, that took place last Tuesday over a
thirty mile course of M4rblehead, was more
successful than any previous contest on the
New England coast. There we're seventeen
entries of schooners and sloops which were
favored with fair weather and a strong bret re
during the whole race. The bay off Marble
head was crowded with innumerable steam
and sailing vessels, and the shores we're lined
with thousands of spectators. The start was
made at 1905. The Priscilla first crossed the
line closely followed by the sohooners Gitana
Fortuna and Mohican. Next came the "whte
sloop" Puritan and Gen. Paine's new sloop
May flower, both being handicapped. The
New York boat held the lead during the early
part of the race, but the two Boston boats
pushed closely after her until the strife for
the first place was so great that all interest in
the race was conferred in these three sloops.
The Puritan soon walked by the Priscilla af-
ter her old manner, and led the fleet to the
finish. The May flower and Priscilla then had
tussle for second place, which finally re.
suited in a victory for the former. Great sat
isfaction was felt by Boston people over the
handsome way in which the New York boa
was defeated, particularly so, as the New
Workers felt confident of her victory. Many
we're disappointed in the Mayhower, as sh'
shows remarkable sailing qualities. Expert
predict, however, that she will be chosen t.
defend the Americas cup at the end of tn,
season, when some minor faults have beef
corrected and her ways are better understood

after their own interests in the state and ooun-

exercise the same vigilance and intelligent de-
termination in the caucuses and in the cleo

right. The Republicans in the towns must
also see to it that they are suitably and relia,

The Fitz John Porter bill passed the SEN
ate last Friday, after an earnest debate, by
vote of 30 to Il, and it is now in the hands
of the President for his signature. Probably
Mr.. Cleveland will sign it and Porter will be
placed on the retired list of the army with
the rank of Major General lie will thus
get the "vindication" which he has been
working for for more than 20 years. but the
facts of history will not be changed by the
success of this long effort in Porter's behalf.
It appears to be settled that there is to be
an anti Edmunds bolt in Rutland county. A
paper is in circulation there asking John A.
Sheldon of RUTLAND, whom the county con-
vention would not nominate because he was
not an Edmunds man-to run as an indepen-
dent candidate against Joel c. Baker, who
received the nomination. The scheme Of
course is to make coalition with the Demo-
Gratis and to combine all the opposition forces
in one. II the snti-Edmunds remnant of q
faction choose to beat their brains out against
stone wall there is no law to prevent them.
The Argus says this week that 1.-The defeat
of j. q. Eddy in the Windham county con
vention for states attorney was thrust al

w. Hooker by the b. d. Harris PL nnil
clique" No such clique exists in Brattleboro
to begin with but that is not the main point
The fact is that with not more than two o
three exceptions at most the Bratlleboro del
egaton voted for Mr.. Eddy, and the opposi
ton to him came from towns outside of Brat
tleboro and Rockingham. II the rest Of tn
county made a "thrust" Brattleboro was no
responsible Tor it.

Misplaced Clemcncy.

Governor Murray's recent act OF Glenn
ency in pardoning out OF the penitentiary
the Smith men who were serving sem
tence for grand larceny, is liable to come
in for very general censure. These men
were convicted less than year ago OF
running off 70 head OF horses in the Vi
cinity OF Beaver and they are said to be
the worst kind OF horse thieves. A gem
tleman from Beaver, whom DEMOCRAT
reporter met this morning, states that
there are four or five indictments
now hanging over their heads at
Beaver and that warrants are
all in the hands of the
officers there. TWAS such an unthought-
OF thing that they would be pardoned this
early in their term OF Imprisonment that
it is exceedingly doubtful whether they
cannot be again corraled, and the people
OF Beaver will receive the news OF their
liberation with Il good deal OF disapproval.
1t is understood that both OF the men
have families, and that their wives
besieged Governor Murray for several
days with their weepings and wailings
until his sympathy was awakened.
The criminals were sentenced last
spring to serve term OF five years, and
have been released before the first yeal
OF that period expired

UTAH,s POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
what Prominent Politicians Think
of the signs of the Times.

The recent news from Washington re-
lating to Utah affairs has affected
nearly all of the local politicians,
and good many OF them were
not feeling remarkably hopeful
to-day. The general impression is
that the mission Of Mr.. Baskin was de-
ferred at least two months too long, and
that the prospect is anything but en-
couraging for anti-Mormon legislation.
One prominent gentleman said to-day
al am disguised with the outlook and am
half inclined to give Utah wide berth
hereafter"
There are plenty OF Democrats, how
ever, who feel that Governor West will
"fll the bill' with the utmost satsfac-
ton to the non-Mormons here,
and that men OF similar char
acter would be appointed to fill
the other offices becoming vacant.
The silly twaddle about Judge
Znne's removal is not entertained by
many thinking men and the Judge him
self said to-day, when asked about the
matter of his speech which is reported a.
circulating in Washington, that had nc
known it would have been given such
prominence he would have made it o
little more complete, that's all.
An influential Democrat remarked to-
day that there would probably be some
steps taken TO augment the non-Mormon
working force at Washington, particularly
as Mr.. Baskin is suffering with ptysica
prostration. He knew OF nothing of {
definite character being done to this enc
but regarded it as most urgent ant
necessary action.

Innocence Abroad.

Communicated
Among the conference visitors to Provo
came fair and innocent school ma'am
from one of the inter-counties. In this
city lives relatives whom she had never
seen, so that a visit to them was made
part OF the programme; and, accordingly,
after short stop-of at Provo, the rural
beauty proceeded on her way to the
metropolis, where she arrived the night
before last and where in all her life she
had never before been. 1t may also be
stated, to show the unsophsticated con-
dtion of her mind, that the railway train
which brought her hither, was the
first she had ever seen. On her arrival
at the Utah Central depot, a hackman
was summoned and directed to drive to
No. - State Road, where the pedagogic
maiden fully anticipated finding an uncle ;
but, alas the uncle had recently re-
| moved to n farm five miles out in the
valley, and this sad mischance was not
discovered till the hackman had driven
off. There was she, stranger in Il
strange city, puzzled to know what to do,
and night coming on. However, Provi-
dence or the Fates furnished her an adj
visor in the person OF sensible woman,
who counseled her to go to hotel, get Il
room, lock the door, 90 to bed, sleep till
morning and then again take up her
search for her relations. The advice was
acted upon and she started back for the
center OF town. On the way she
caught sight OF dentists sign, bearing
the name OF Il dear old friend. Rushing
up to the door, with hope once more eb-
bling high, the unlucky school ma'am
knocked; no response. She called her
friends name aloud; echo was all she
heard. Again, disappointed and down
cast, she proceeded TO one of the city
hotels, where, on her arrival, she laid
her case before the gentlemanly land
lord, who in a moment comprehcnded
her dilemma, and at once conducted her
to one OF the best rooms in the house.
Remembering the advice of the afore-
mentioned sensible female, this fair and
unsophsticated country cousin inme-
dately locked the door and-sat
up all night watching the kew
Tor fear some ruflian gallant, Ia the
James Brothers, should break in and
bear her away. There she sat, or stood,
conjuring in her mind all sorts Of horrible
Nightmares in reality; all the abduction
stories she had ever read were pictured
so wildly in her mind that she passed n
night OF torture, fearing, dreading lest
some william, in the silence and darkness.
should break in her room and either rob
murder, or abduct heraway. The weary
hours OF night dragged slowly along, but
morning finally dawned, and with the
first ray OF light the schoolma'am,
pale and weary, escaped from
her torture and i'm few
hours was folded in the loving embrace of
the city relatives. 1t is safe to saw that
this first nights experience in Salt Lake
City was an agOnizing and never.to.be.
forgotten one, To-day the school ma'am
returned home II somewhat wiser girl.

COFFEE JOHNS ENTERPRISE.
A vienna Bakery and n First-Class
Confectionery Mandatory
Opened.

Mr.. John A. Fitchette, popularity known
as Coffee john" has just completed the
latest venture OF his characteristic enter
prise, by opening a Vienna bakery and
a confectinery mandatory. Some time
since Mr.. Fitchette came to the conclu-
sion that he really required q finer quail
ity OF bread and pastry for his restaurant
business than it was possible to get here,
and he applied in the East for first
class baker and in the meantime had Il
commodious bakery built on his prem
Uses, with magnificent oven of
the latest improvements. Within
the past few days the baker arrived +,
and proves to have come direct from
Europe and from one OF the finest bakeries
in the land. The oven has been already
subjected to the necessary experiment,
and turns out bread and pastry that is
good enough for the dyspeptic Bismarck
himself. The confectionery department
has received similar attention, and the
artist in charge has already shown his
superior ability in the introduction OF
some new candies which vie with the
Killers best, and cost but half as much.
Both OF these industries have been equip
ped with that thoroughness which always
characterizes Coffee Johns" enter
prise and which is expressed in
his own quaint remark: " Salt
Lake is just as good as
New York and l propose TO serve my
customers with the best there is in the
land" OF course, the confectionery de-
partment will contain importations as
well, and most of this stock, by the way,
has not yet arrived. The intention is to
make special feature OF ice cream, and
Mr.. Fitchette says he will provide his
patrons with as choice an article as Bos
toms best, made out OF genuine Utah
cream and no humbug.
The most attractive part OF these new
| departures is the Celebrations expended
upon the new premises. A new addition
has been built on behind and the ceiling
raised and beautified, and the whole
front artistically transformed. There
would seem to be nothing left undont
that could in any way add to the appear
ance or the facility of the premises, ant
no one will entertain any doubt about the
success of the business in Coffee johns
| hands,

Washington as an Unlucky Name.

The old superstition prevalent among
the river men OF the West that the name
Washington" was in every sense an un-
lucky one for steamboat, and that one
SO christened, whether wholly or in part,
was sure to be burned, blowned MP or
sunk, seems to have some justification in
the number OF disasters which, in years
gone by, really beiell craft whose name
included the word Washington, with or
without prefix or aflix OF any kind
NO such malign spells seem, however,
to have sway in the waters OF the eastern
seaboard. The steamer Martha Wash
ington," which plies on the Potomac, has
been, If not notably profitable as fnan-
cal venture, reasonably free from calam-
ltous visitations, and now we note that
the steamer "Washington," running be.
tween New York and Havana, formally
celebrated her Tooth trip on Tuesday
having started on her first run on the 23i
OF November, 1877. These successful
records ought to encourage the river men
IN the great valley Of the Mississippi TO
give their patriotic impulses another
chance, if they have not already outprown
the old fancy Washington ,Siar. 70
