scheme Of wholesale bribery Of Com

readers for noticing 20 insignificant
an unworthy and object, we next DAY
paid some slight editorial attention TO
the story ana Ito author The eastern
papers containing tho Item are now
beginning to come to hand, and some
Of their comments upon II arc interest
ing. We quote today from the ~. Paul
fioHe,r.frc,s, which no one ever
accused Of having any Dndness Tor the
Mornons or Of going out Of It's way to
defend them. ltsayp, under the hoad-
ing "R1mancing Ex.mordiuary:"
