Mormon nInidens from Enrnno.

Curiously afIianced brides are those who
come to town from across tho ocean without
knowing who their bridegrooms arc going to
be. Moreover, they are not certain whether
they will have half husband or third, or
quarter, CT what fractional part away up
TO thirtieth or a fortieth. For these maid
ems are Mormon converts Several patches
Of them have been bothered over by our
emigration commissioners, who were de-
sirous of saving them from Utah and polve-
amy, and half dozen are today detained at
Castle Garden. But there seems to be no
law under which their antebridal tours can
be stopped. The commissioners may legally
return to the Old World only such immi-
grants as are criminals or paupers These
girls are neither. Their passages are paid by
the Mormon elders accompanying them, and
homes are ready for them in Utah. Bonds
are filed, guaranteeing that they win not be-
come public charge, and that settles the
question, so far as the law is concerned.
Some charitable ladies determined to try
moral suasion to deter the girls now here
from going to their unknown husbands. |
accompanied them to Castle Garden where
they talked with the six indefinite brides.
They were English girls from Lancashire,
ranging in age from 16 to "a. They were
daughters Of small farmers, and their lusty
forms and bright compilations had resulted
from plenty Of outdoor exercise. They were
imperfcctly educated, but made a good APP
pearance by reason Of youth, health, neat
clothing and decidedly high spirits. In the
same company Of converts were entire faini-
lies from their county. They said that they
had listened to the Mormon revivolists'
preaching until convinced of it's liEhsaous-
ness, and that they were firmly determined
upon seeking happiness Ia Utah. They had
been solemnly promised that they should get
husbands there.
But do you understand that your hus-
bands already have numerous wivesqp a
bright Lancashire lass was asked.
Yes she replied quickly, land if a man
is good enough that six wives will stay with
him he isn't going to be bad to one more"
Every argument was met by some reply
as conclusive US that Tho girls seemed
genuinely pious, in Mormon way, and the
elders were to them holy men indeed

he was running for Congress and was

voters OF Wilmington and New Castle

man who had been approved for the
place by everybody, and to re. elect J.
FRANK Ball, Esq, who had a good Office
But TINS is not the first insult that has
been given to us by Governor Biggs. In
June last the men to whom Governor
Biggs listened when he appointed Mr.
Ball, came up to the polls with their
ballots in the vest pocket and defeated
John J. Dougherty for mayor For what
reason did they defeat him? Because his
officers afforded protection to the assess-
ors at the City Hall last winter? By no
means, but because he is an Irish
Catholic. Had Mr. Turner carried
a Maltese cross on his watch chain he
would probably have received the ap-
pointment which he had merited. There
are a good many Democrats in this city
who think that no Irish need apply
They have a notion that they can lead us
by the nose, and take the offices them
selves. Let them bear in mind that if
the Irish vote of Wilmington were taken
from the Democratic party there would
remain only mere handful Of helpless
voters who the Republicans could defeat
without half trying.
Twice we have been insulted Once by
the Democratic Know -nothings and anti
Catholics of this city and again by that
wolf in sleeps clothing the Governor of
delaware. is it not about time to pay
back some Of these insults? Should not
Biggs and his Know-nothing crowd be
taught a lesson? NV notion is that
on next Tuesday we should once and for
all teach these sneaking and ungrateful
bigots lesson that they will never for
get. That is what John Kelly did to
the Bourbon Know-Nothing Democrats of
New York They respected him and his
followers ever afterwards. Let the
Irish voters of this city 90 to the polls on
next Tuesday with their ballots in the
vest pocket, and let us have the manhood
to retaliate. Let us not take unresented
the insult which the Jews offered to God.
the Saviour, when he was about to expire
on the cross, when they gave him vine
gar and gall to driHk. If we wish to be
respected in this city like good and
faithful servsnts we must do our duty to
ourselves, to oar country and to our God.
