character of Bishop C. A. Madsen and Mr..
A. Inerson, of Gunnison, both of whom, if
we are to believe its foul insinuations, were
concerned in the murder of young lady at
that place.
Bishop MADsEN is a gentleman of educa-
ton and intelligence, one of the most
worthy citizens of the territory, who held
various positions of trust and importance
in the service of his native country and
whose character is above reproach. Mr..
| INERsoN in every respect is a substantial
citizen and an honorable man. They are
| both Mormons, and that is of course JUST
fcation for the attack made upon their
characters.
Three years ago, a young lady, Danish
| immigrant, entered into the service of Mr..
ISERsOS at his farm below Gunnison. She
had frequently complained of severe pains
in her stomach; several weeks ago, upon a
recurrence of the attack in a severer form,
she was sent up to Bishop MADsEN's in or
der that she might be better cared for; but
nothing ayailed, and she soon after died.
A post norton examination was held and
upon the testimony of two doctors the
died from the effects of corrosive poison
administered by an unknown hand. The
parties chiefly concerned Immediately sent
for DR.. Benedict, of this city, who called in
one or two local physicians and more
thorough examination of the body was
made. DIR. Benedict and his associates
assert that there was not the least reason
to believe that poison was the cause of
death, which their examination and the
history of the case showed to be plainly
due to ulcers of the stomach; aud that the
theory of corrosive poisoning was dis
proved by the absence of in
iuries to the lips, mouth and throat.
Upon the basis of coroner's iury's yer
dict, the evidence of the error of which
was within our contemporary reach, that
paper proceeds to say the girl Lived with
Mr.. INERsoN for three years; that the
bishop twas about to bury her speedily
and twas in a fix ;" speaks of "the indigna-
ton and ugly talk of the people," ard says
that suspicion remains strong of foul
play" that Mr.. ISERsON said upon marry
the girl a few minutes before she died
that she knew she would die in few
minutes" calls these gentlemen beasts and
utters other foul ISLANDERS, which, we ven
ture to say, are the carnations of a prac-
ticed brain, and not even the idle and
malicious rumors of the neighborhood
Much of our contempt for the Liberal pal ty
springs from our detestation for its organl

The RETIRING OFFICIALS.

We honor FRANK H. DYER because he has
had the independence and force of charac-
ter to conduct his offices to suit himself f;
and because he has had the intelligence and
honesty to conduct it well. 1t is a rare
treat to have federal official of this terri
tory cut loose from that little clique of poll
tical bigots, who, like the tallors OF
Tooley street, imagine themselves
to constitute the whole population,
Amidst trying scenes, with thank
less duties to perform, Mr.. DYER has made
few mistakes and few enemies. Heretires
with the respect and best wishes of every
good citizen. We are gratifed that his
successor as United States marshal starts
out with the same suspicious union of indie
pendence and impartiality.
Mr.. PETERS has made more mistakes than
Mr.. DYER, but averages well in the long
list of Uncle SANS imported Office holders.
We wish him well.

SERVICE PENSIONS.

Ohio Republicans are said to be making
their present campaign as the champions of
''service pensions" To make service in
the civil war the only basis of pension
would swell the rolls to 100000 names.
At the average of 200 per year each (Which
is in excess of the present demands, how
ever, the total pension expenses of the
government would aggregate 800, 900 900,
or $50, 100000 in excess Of the total present
revenues OF the government. Corporal
TANNER is said to be alarmed at the pros
pect If so it is another illustration of the
rule that close examination develops
many things unseen from the distance.
The Commissioner is reported to have
said: For years have advocated, ON the
stump and at Grand Army amp-fres, the
passage by Congress of a service pension
bill giving every soldier and sailor pen
sion. l am thoroughly committed to this
policy, and 1 don't see how 1 can go back
on it, though now that l have become pen
sion commissioner and have looked the
thing up 1 find the service pension bill
would bankrupt the treasury. I'd rather
resign than face the old soldiers after go
ing back on the service pension bill, and if
as pension commissioner recommend that
bill to Congress I'll make myself ridicu-
lous How am I to get out of it!"

statesmen, including five members elect
of the Fifty-frst Congress. These gentle

the comprehension of every intelligent
mind, we shall be doubly pleased with
their visit We extend them, in behalf Of
