more people combine to commit an un.
lawful act, and while in the commission
ofsaid act, not having as its object the
taking fife, one goes beyond the pur-
pose and intention and homicide is COM

On the I'd day of September last four
young elders ELIAS S. Wright, James
q. Douglass, Thomas M. Holt and Asa
h el Fuller-preaching in West Tennes-
see, were taken from their beds at James
T. Brooks by twenty-five masked men,
who carried them in their night clothes
into the woods near by, and tying them
to the trunks oftrees, lashed them with
birch switches, each elder receiving fifty
stripes.
Besides these cases there have been
numerous mud baths and small whipping
bees, but, so far as is known, only three
elders, previously named, have been
killed, though two others disappeared
and no tidings of them have ever been
received.
Few people can be found, if any, who
will say the conduct of the Mormon
elders is anything but upright, honest
and clean in the larger towns and cities,
and in no case has any financial irregu.
larity ever been charged. They are
serupulously honest in money matters,

the Senate to-day, on motion Of Mr. SheT-
man, it was ordered that Mr. Gray's
amendment to the Panama Canal resolution
and the action of the Senate thereon at
Yesterdays session, be printed in the
Record
Mr. Sawyer, from the POstoflice Com
mitlee, reported the bill providing that the
omission TO pay the lawful postage on a
Especial delivery" letter shall not prevent
OF delay its transmission and delivery, but
that the lawful y stage shall be collected on
its delivery. Passed.
Mr. Sherman introduced a bill TO make
and alter regulations as to the time, place
aud manner of holding elections for Rep
resentstives in Congress, which wss re-
ferred 10 the Committee on Privileges and
Elections. lie said that the bill had been
prepared by gentleman who was familiar
with the subject, but did not care to have
bis name published. The bill was unpar-
tisan In its character and was calculated
to ensure absolutely fair elections in every
part of the United States. 1t was confined
to elections of members Of Congress.
Many Of its provisions were rather novel
to him, because they were modelled on
laws in Southern States, with which be
was not familiar. Many Of them were
drawn from laws in Northern States.

LONDON, January s. Mir. Gladstone

gram, which, as published, read az fol-
lows:
''The Td5lefs version Of my letter 20
the Marquis De Riso, touching the posi-
tion of the Pope, is untrustworthy. The
statement that / recommend international
arbitration on the Roman question is n-
correct under the circumstances"
Mr.. Gladstone. in bis letter, states that
the telegram shonld have ended with the
word incorrect" The additional
words, 'under the present circumstances,
he says, belonged to a private communi-
ti0n.
Mr. Stead, editor Of the Ga5eifc, COM
meniing on the letter, says that even
now he cannot understand Mr.. Gladstone b
meaning.
The IdJld having asserted that he was
in favor OF international arbitration on the
Pspll question Mr.. Gladstone denied the
assertion by telegraph. The words Of the
ex Premier in the original letter are said
to be a. follows: ~ consider the question
of the Popes position Of such importance

in connection with the Alabama question.

OSGOODBY'S STORY.

The History of the Famous "MurehisOn'
Letter.
Los ANGELES, GALA, January ; Geo,
0sgoOdby, the author OF the famous Muir.
Gibson letter, whose identity was revealed
yesterday, says be did not, until few
days before the correspondence was made
public, have conception OF its importance
in political sense.
When he did, the thought of the far
reaching effects and possible consequences
to bimsslf, personally, rather alarmed
him.
Finally, after conference with few
confidential friends in Romona, including
his two attorneys, p. c. Toner and W. b.
Bell, il was determined 10 make the letters
public, and on the 18th of October the let.
ters were brought 10 Los Angeles by Bell,
acting for OsgoOdby. They were placed in
the hands of Judge w. F. Fitzgerald,
member of the Republican State Central
Executive Committee; Henry 7. Gage, del
egate to the Republican National COnven-
tion, and Col. II. @. Otis, editor Of the
Times.
These three men decided TO publish the
letters without referring them to any com.
mittee, State or National, or 10 any other
persons, as the campaign was then far ad-
vauced and further delay was deemed i'm
polite. They were accordingly published
ON the 21st Of October, in the columns Of
the Los Angeles Times, and soon found their
way to New York.
For some days after the letter was made
public, OsgOOdby was so frightened that
he was brought TO Los Angeles and kept
concealed. He claims that, having him
self conceived the idea, he wrote the letter
at home one evening in the presence Of his
wife. Next day he took it 10 Pomona and
showed it to T. G.. Haley, whose
name has been prominent in con
nection with the letter, and the two showed
it 10 p. C. Turner. Turner copied it snd
signed il 'Charles l. MuTohison," which
il OsgoOdby's mothers maiden name, aud
then sent il TO Minister West Then the
others, catching the idea, got several hands
to write decoy letters to Fisk, TO Tupper,
to Brooks and TO Others, Vests letter was
the only reply that amounted 10 anything,
80 the others were not used for political
effect.
0sgoOdby has the original copy Of his
letter to Minister West stuck under the
CARPET of his bedroom. lie claims % have
a letter there, too, which be received from
Mr.. Cleveland in reply to one he wrote the
President, but he will not diyulge lis con
tents
Mr.. Osgoodby is a citizen Of Pomona,
this county, a man Of good repute, fruit
farmer and owner of considerable prop
erty. He has lived in Pomona a number
Of years His parents and brother also
reside there. He il Of Scotch-English
parentage, but was born in the United
States, a native Of New York. He haG
been a teacher and appears 10 be an ex-
tensive reader and close student, espe-
cially of political aiIAirs. From frequent
expressions il has been assertsined that
he entertsins strong antipithy for the
