A HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED
LETTER.

Boston Letter to the Now York Tribune.
The letter which has never been
published, is as follows:
BnooKLyN, Nov. 8, lS72.-My
Dear Mr.. Greeley: | read your card in
the Tribune with sincere pleasure, and
congratulate myself aud the cause of
journalism On your return to field in
which you have won SO much reputation
and where you have done such service
that the history of America cannot be
written without including, as an i'm
portant part Of it, your life and services.
You may think, amidst clouds of
smoke and dust, that all your old friends
who parted company with you in the
late campaign will turn a momentary
difference into lifelong alienation. 1t
will not be so. | speak for myself, and
also from what perceive in other men
hearts. Your mere political influence
may for time be impaired, but your
own power for good in the far wider
fields Of industrial economy, social and
civil criticism, and the general well
being Of society, will not be lessened, but
augmented. 1t is true that hitherto the
times called for warrior, and such you
were; yet l cannot but think with
regret how much ability has been spent
by you that died with the occasion, and
which might have built up positive and
permanent elements. But l look upon
your years to come as likely to be more
fruitful aud irradiated with kind and
beneicient light, which will leave your
name in honor far greater than if you
had reached the highest ofice.
l beg that you will pardon my intru-
sion, especially when you stand in the
shadow Of great trouble. hoped that
word Of honest respect and sympathy
might not displease you. There are
thousands who would like to do as 1
have done, and who with me will rejoice
once more to be in sympathy with you
10 all thiegs beneficient and patriotic.
am, my dear Mr.. Greeley, very truly
yours.

Pullman is one Of the best business
towns in Eastern Washington. The
popularity ofthc place is that while its
area is small its business is large and
constantly increasing. Its founders, 10
an early day, wisely procured good
wagon roads to it from all the sections
round about. The result is that as soon
as the railroads opened an outlet to their
products, the farmers used the road to
bring their grain to this common center.

tered and disconnected, it is like bee

MORMON RAWLINGS,

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 6.-To,
day was the second day Of the Mormon
fall conference. Apostle Grant called
loudly for fittings, saying those who
paid freely were the most happy and
prosperous declared the saints must live
up to the whole law Of God. A. B.
Morgan called for the education of
Mormon children in schools where they
can learn that Joseph Smith was a
prophet. Apostacy was not so much
because Of inGdelity as ignorance of the
true principles of the Gospel. Apostle
Richards declared that the saints must
live for the Lord and educate her
children in the faith. 1t is the duty Of
the priesthood to look after this, but it
is not done. We must promote the
young men TO look after this. Elder
Nobel thanked God that be had seen
old scenes.
WE MUST BE UNITED
and carry out the principles Of the gospel,
educate our children properly and no
power no earth can prevail against US.
A. P. Cannon, q "penitentiary martyr"
said: He had seen the place whence
the saint had been driven these places
had been cursed Of God and are unfit
for the habitation Of men. It is not
crawling to accept martyrdom from
unjust hands, which is only test Of our
faith. The kingdom Of God Is now

on two trips prior to the disaster she had

that they were not only dangerous but de-

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Tuley. of Chicago, Declares Children
Born in Slavery to be Legitimate

CHICAGO, May 9-,Judge Tuley has rem
dered a preliminary decision in n contested
will case that is of considerable Importance
to all children born in slavery and TO
many of the descendants of such children.
He, in fact, pronounces such children
illegimate and holds that they cannot in
herit property from the father. The will
contested is that of Mrs. Elizabeth Bunch
and the story is as follows
James Washington, a slave of General
Thomas, marshal of Mason county, KY,
married a slave named Liza. and from
their union sprang Two children, Liza and
Elizabeth. In 1892 James escaped going
TO Huron, Ohio, and here he made ar
rangements 10 buy his wife and two
children from their master: but while
he was paying for them his wife
and child, Liza, died, and their
master, in consideration OF the sum
already paid, gave him Elizabeth. Eliza
beth, however, soon left him and after
wandering over Ohio anu Indiana came 10
Chicago. where she married IN lSii. Her
husband and children afterward died and
in 1886 she. too, passed away, leaving prop
erty by VIII, it is claimed, to one Betty
Kilfrey, white girl, who had been her
companion for some years. Bat ii seems
that James Washington, after the death
Of his wife Liza. married again and had
several children. The eldest OF these, Il
daughter, married William H. Nj. Bond.
and had three children. These three chill
dren stepped in and contested the will,
claiming it TO be a forgery, and that they
Were the legal heirs OF Elizabeth Bunch.
Judge Iuley decided that Elizalath
Bunch was an illeglumaee child and could
have no heirs save those OF her own body.
The ground OF the decision is that slaves
being ch&ttels, no legal marriage was pos
sible any more than real estate can marry
real estate.
The decision, which was made on mo-
ton for rehearing, was y surprise 70
both sides. The case will be appealed,
however, and then the special point in
volyedwia be fully discussed.
Il is claimed by Nh. Fish. who RENE
SCENTS the bonds, that whatever may have
been the status Of the slave marriage law
prior 10 the war, the effect of the enlaEoi-
patton proclamation and the constitutional
amendnents was to restore to the slaves
all those rights Of which they had pre-
viously been deprived. When they be-
came Tree all the rights of the free men
attached 10 them retractively so that chill
