Nkw Vokk, January The general term of the Supreme Court afMrnled an or der of the court below of some importance in relation to libel suits, and of interest to the mercantile community generally. Action bad been commenced in New York by a party in New Orleans against the mercantile agency of 11. G. Dun & Co. for libel. Upon application by the agency an order was some time aao granted bv Judge IJarrettfor abill of partico!ars,which should specify to whom the alleged libel had been communicated. Theorder was ap pealed egaint by the plaintiff, but is now confirmed by the general term. This decision makes it imjierative that persons commencina an action lor libel must dis close the names of the parties furnishing the information upon woich the suit is based.

Let none deny this, ior if every man that thinks win recall the eilect ot Albion iourgee 8 j-ool hrraml that appeared hve years ago, ho will seethe truth of my statement: lor again ana again 1 was assured by young men that they were influenced by tins booK to vote against the Democracy v hetiier such motive has in any way actuated Mr. Cable, I for one care not. I write with no such thought in view. for. my experience teaches me that there is a power mightier than man that seizes upou his puny efforts, and from them outworks results so mighty that the i uuuinn I'unu sianas aweu ana silent oe fore them, paralyzed almost, as the child upon the rail, that feels and sees the mighty engine dashing full upon him, when all retreat is cut oil. orkiug among ami investigating conditions of prisoners for many years, this paper is to me perhaps ireighted with a deeper mean ing, and causes a sense of overwhelming awe that the careless and indifferent will fail to see or realize. Four years ago I was . one of the women invited bv the silparintendent of the Sher- born prison of Massachusetts to visit that institution, where we were entertained tor a dav. It is a model prison, a reformatory. I was only a little while from Louisiana, and I knew something of her prisons, and Piere Betram's etorv was still in the short road of the past year's news, telling, what wa3 afterward denounced as an untruth, a tale of shame for women that might have made devils shriek with pain and hide their faces behind the liands that had been dyed with the stain of murder. That our people, the women, the men-, the pastors, the editors, are largely ignorant of this condition, is our only excuse; and with aching hearts we must, cry, "Pecettri, pecciri." But we sinned ignorant!), may well be added. l lie Jones oro lh mormt, lor more than two years, has bec-a calling on the people of Arkansas to right the hideous wrong that is staining tho escutcheon of their State with lasting shame. The editor gave, among other), a lettr from Dr. .Meek, ot that state, with ttnenients in it concerning the treatment of women pris oners one case in particular, where tee greatest shame that can ever be indicted upon . a woman was enacted by a negro, under the com mand of the keeper, in the presence of the ass -mbled prisoners. Remembernow, this st.i'ement was made opeuly in the Legislative Hull bv Mr. Felder, u member of that body, in presence of many report ers, and yet such statement was sup pressed. -You. mv brave Appeal, have ever championed the helpless, the wronged, the "persecuted. You have ever. and under all circumstances, been willing to temper justice with mercy. Your motto has been, "Let justice be done." Be just now. Our prison svstem every where is rotten through and through. The reports of our prand jury in every State tells this. H e put prisoners in the prison, and when they leave it they are ten times more the child of the devil than when they 0 in. Liquor is not only allowed but brought io, as anv prisoner may desire it and is able to pav for it. In some instances 1 have found that the thin looked vastly its if the authorities owned the saloon that supplied thedrinks within the jail and prisons. Mr. Cable cannot be attacked. He has not entered into the ntinvlUe of tho prisoner's life, yet read what he savs of the women in our own Tennessee peni tentiarv, ouoting the words of the warden. "Had 1 the pardoning power," the wi'i-irn says, "I would reprieve every woman now in the penitentiary, and those who mav bo sentenced, until tho State can. or will provide a place to keep tbeiu m keeping with tlie age in which we live." The chaplain reports these women as having aoandoned all hope and given up to despair, their conversation obscene and lilthy, and their conduct controlled bv their unrestrained passion. J rom mv own personal experience, I dare make this statement. From out these pits of gloom, rite with the passions of a hell that Dante failed to portray, 1 have come with the one feeling in my heart. The system is rotten through and through, and God will curso any people who tolerate it knowingly in their midst. Religion is farce ; sobriety and honesty, integrity and love are to count as idle boasts in the fu ture if this thing is to continue when our good aieu and women are once aroused to the facts as they stand out in colors of name and blood, it ere are women and men who will read w hat is written here and cry out in horror against the bare fact of a woman using such language, seeing such sights, having such knowledge as I show here. Men of Tennessee every man that rules, or sins, sutlers or dies, was born of woman, for every soul that agonizes in these dens of horror a woman's heart bleeds and breaks outside. And not a m that is familiar with prison institutions, with the "leasing" system, that will not say, unless his iieart lias grown hard and cruel, front judge to shenfi, to the lowe oflicer, but will assert that I speak truly when I say the hard and bilter things that I tlo. .Now, let us be Imr. Prisons are in tended for a place of punishment, correc ti on an-! reform. Massachusetts and Penn sylvania have such. We have non1-: few States have anv. North or South. Sentenced for life, and tho fact of hun dreds upon hundreds of prisoners bein under filteen years of age in our prisons, is an awtul thing to contemplate, fllanv verv manv, are negroes, which will cause this paper of Cable s, in its whole aspect. to be one of the most startling and mo mentous that can be placed before the public in any wav. I-et anvone read it. and his very blood will creep as he does it, in its hare, bold recital; no glossing, no emliellishment, no appeals to imagina tion only hard, cruel, stuhliorn statistics ot d":Hh rates, reports and actions. e. ia looking at the individual, feel as if all was wrong, but in looking to the large aggregate of the people, the advance that is being made, thought aroused, opinions clashing, chari spreading, tolerance increasing, we know that humanity is progressing slowly toward the ideal brotherhood that Jesus" so sweetly taught on the Galilean hills and nothing more clearly proves that we are than the fact that this paper is given, and by one of our own people, and that the cause demanded that it should be, terrible as is the summing Up.

All or the Corpses Mutilated The In quest Commenced Preparations for the Funeral. Drkvkr( Col., January 26. Twenty three more burned bodies were to-dav re covered from Crested Butte niine, maJcing hlty-seven in all. -But two remain. Those recovered to-day were all found in chamber No. 2 and in the passage-wav In the immediate vicinity. Many have their arms and legs broken, skulls crushed in and clothing burneo, which in many cases drops of in rags i hen the body is noveo.. x u5 nir pnrnea irnrp me heads and all the skin is burned oft the face and other exposed portions of the body, leaving an utterly unrecognizable mass of raw and bleeding flesh. Tho appearance of these bodies is HORRIBLE BEYOND PESCRIPTION, and it is not likely that any of them can be reOosnired. Many faces have coal-dust ground into them till , hey are Ss blaf It as coal itself. To-day tho company began the erection of a frame building where the bodies will be placed, and where the funeral services will be held. Crowds are coming on every train and on snow-shoes from all the surrounding camps. The Company, besides tho erection of the building spoken of, will bear all the funeral expenses and make ample provis ion for the needy families of the de- 4-eeafied. It is thought the other tffo bodies will be got out of the mine by midnight. TIIE IXi't'EST began at noon to-day. A coroner's jury was summoned by Coroner N. J. Snyder. After viewing the thirty-four bodies al ready brought out the jury adjourned. Since that time the hearing of evidence has been going on in the parlor of the Elk Mountain House, and will be con tinued to-night and to-morrow. Cameron testified as to the ventilation of his mine, which he claimed was from C ve to six times what was required by law. Superintendent Bobinson explained the working of the mine, and said he had given positive; orders, that no miner go in the mine wllhont havingreceived a report trom the tire-boss so as to know posi tively that there was no danger from gas, and when gas was found safety lamps were always insisted on. ICicharUson, the tire-boss, testified that on the morning of the accident he had fottnd two boards broken at the brattice of room IS, second entry, and considerable gas in the head of the drift, and had given a man who was at work there positive orders not to enter till he returned and repaired the brattice. He came out to get his tools, and before lie got back the ex plosion took place. M ltnesses who heard the orders given will testify to-morrow. THE BODY KOfJiD. When room No. 18 w as rertched to-day no one was found in it, but in front of it, looking as if blown out by the concus sion, one body was found, and although unrecognizable, it is supposed to be the man, a Swede, who was forbidden to enter. THE COFFINS ordered from Denver have not arrived and no date is yet fixed for the funeral. Cam eron testified that the mine had a Murphy lan, which lorcea 00,000 cubic leet ol air per - minute. Richardson said the mine was verv much troubled with gas. but was considered safe whert the.bratticbs were in order. Bobinson said the old miners con sidered the mine the worst for gas they ever saw. The Odd Fellows took away the remains of Dai McDonald, and Mrs. II. Sneaths has also removed her two bovs. ONLY A SCARE. This evening Mine-Boss Gibson came running into the hotel and said he was in the mine when a miner came rushing n, gave him a pistol, -matched his lamp and told him to run for his life, as a party ot men were coming up from tow n to lynch him, but at this hour (midnight) no hostile demonstrations have been made, and it is thought there will be none at tempted. The excitement has entirely subsided. A RHODE ISLAND JOB. Perseentpil TorTlilrlinn Years by Keeret anil Viniliclive Euemlc. ri-ovnn-svE, R. I., January 25. For the past tmrteen years William A. Weeuen, a farmer living on Cumberland Hill, has been persecuted by unknown enemies. A dozen years ago two large barns were burned, and in July, 18S1?, another barn was burned, together with cattle and fann ing implements. Since then his buildings have been de faced, his well has been defiled, the lamily tomb desecrated, obstructions planted in the way of his moing-machine,his farm ing tools stolen and tonnd broken, and an apparently organized attempt made to injure him in every possible wav. Re wards were offered both by Mr. Weeden and the town for the detection of the criminals. The town police have been at work on tho case for a long time.and to-day, as the result of a confession made bv Charles A. Boss, now in jail at Cranstown awaiting trial on another charge, warrants were issued against Boss and Town-Coun cillor Simeon Budlong, of Cumberland, Boss as the principal and Budlong as an accessory to the crime of burning Wccd en's barn in 1SS2. Boss swore that Bud long. who is Weeden's near neightior, lured him to lire the barn. Budlong was arraigned in Valley Falls. He pleaded not guilty and furnished surety in the sum of $.")00 for examination on the 'list' instant. Budlong, who has lived about seven years in Cumberland, was elected to the Council last springs.

A recent enterprise which, though in augurated but a few weeks ago, has al ready reached mammoth proportions and bills "fair to outstrip the best hopes of its projectors, is the establishment of the Union Stock-Yards and Fertilizer Com pany, at the corner of McLemore avenue and'Horn Lake road. Few who have not stndied the subject and who have not thought of the opening in Memphis for such a biiRlnePS have any idea of the great results that may be obtained by a company with a capital of $"250,000 handled by a body of gentlemen who fully understand and appreciate the business in all its bearings and its details men who have been in some way identified with all the leading enterprises of this part of the country, and who have already built un fortnn.-s by their steady application and adaptability for carrying out large enter prises. Col. Mack 0. J'earce, one of the foremost men of Memphis, and whose name is familiar all over tlie valley, has been made president, and will give the business bis entire time and attention. His sterling worth, his unimpeached in tegiity and his success in everything be has undertaken w ill be sullieient guarantee to the public, than which nothing better could be desired. He never dees any thing by halves, and though the mere as sociation of his name with a movement is enough to give it weight, forco and confi dence, he will, in this instance, devote his time to carrying out what views he may have, thus doubly assuring the success of the enterprise. A more opportune moment than the present could not pos&ibly have been chosen. Its need was just beginning to be felt to a pronounced extent, and the com pletion of the Kansas City railway raised the need of a union stock-yard to the force of a positive demand. In addition to their immense sheds, the company is crectinif large and spacious buildings, for the manufacture of fertilizers, of which the farmers of tho country are now so much in need. Thecompany also intend erecting, at once, large slaughter and pack inghouses, with tho intention of making Memphis a central meat market. The yards cover several acres of ground, the natural drainage is excellent, and they are connected with a'.l the railroads, and are ready ta transact the business in hand in the most thorough and satisfactory manner.

A Communication from Delegate Carae, of I'lah, Regarding Got. Murray's Recent Message, la Which He Accuses the Latter Gentle man of Wilfully PerTrtIng Im portant Fact. WiBmxnfoS, January 20. John C. Carne, delegate in Congress from Ctah, has addressed a communication to the general manager of tbe Associated Press, in regard to the misrepresentations of facts made by Gov. Murray in his message to the Legislature, "evidently with the pur pose of deceiving the Eastern public." The delegate says: He (the Governor) asks the repeal of the law making escheats revert to the Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company. This law was repealed eight years ago by tile enactment of section i IS of the Compiled Laws , of Vtall, -irhich says: "If the decedent leaves nil hus band, wife or kindred, the estate escheats to the Territory for the support of the common schools." This is the law now, and has been since 1870. CntJRCH MATTERS. He misrepresents the scope and effect of the act incorporating the Mormon Church vhen he say it isa law respecting an established .religion. It did not pur pose to establish any religion, but simply iup.de the Mormon Church a body cor porate, witn pwers, as stateu. in the charter, "not inconsistent w lit pr repug nant to the constitution of the Tnite- States." Other churches, including the Presbyterian, have been incorporated in the Territory, and only so much of the act incorporating'the Church as might "estab lish, maintain, protect or countenance me pntctici q polygamy," was disapproved by Congress. The compilers, of. the Terri tory "law sin 1876, failing to fhrd ant such provision in it as named bv Congress, in cluded the entire act in the compilation, but no part of it was then or ever re enacted by the Legislature, whose acts to be valid, must be consistent with the laws of Congress, else they are null and void. His statements that this law vests eccle siastical courts with authority which may only be exercised in the L nited Mates by civil courts is entirely without foundation , ii fan! TCr, u i, -1, nnwari aM Jiv Janr pnn. ferred upon ecclesiastical courts. They only act asartifjrators, and regulate lei low ship of members of the Church, and that without expense to the parties. TIIE RIGHT OF DOWER. Tfin enmmpnta nn tliA dOn-pf rinpstion give an entirely lafse idea ot the property 1 rights of women in Ctah. The fact is, ! they are equal with men in their legal I rieht and nower to acouire. hold and 1 transfer real and personal property. The husband has no control whatever over the property oi ntswne, ana neeu not join with her in deeding it away. Hundreds I of women in Utah hold titles to their homes and other real estate entirely inde pendent of their husband. True, there is, technically speaking, no right of dower existing in the Territory, but in the law of descent and succession there is more liberality to the wife in many instances than the common law dower right would be. ror instance; a widow intestate is always entitled for life to the homestead of her husband, and to all personal prop erty which is by law exempt from execu tion, in addition thereto, sue inherits for life one-third of tlie remainder of the estate where he leaves one child, and if more than one child, then one-fourth of the remainder of the estate goes to her for life. If he leaves no issue, but either mother, father, sister or brother, one- half the estate eoes to the wife absolutely. and if no issue, mother, father, sister or brother survive him, the whole estate goes to her absolutely, and in all cases where exempted property is insufficient to support the family during the settlement of the estate, an allowance is made out of the estate lortliat purpose. THE MARRIAGE Qt-ESTIOy. Gov. Murray says: "Marriage should be made by law a civil compact, to be en tered into "only by persons competent to contract, and valid only as between one man and one woman, and any other mar riage, under any circumstances, should be declared void from the beginning." This is common law, which, in the absence of a flatute on the subject, prevails in Utah ; hence the enactment of such a law 3 he poposcs would in no degree chance the leital status of married per sons. As a matter of fact, no polygamous marriage had ever been claimed, even Dy a Mormon, to bo valid in law. They have never been "enforced or annulled by pro cess of civil law as his (tiov. Murray 8) language would import, but are simply re garded as religious obligations. The pub lic schools of the Territory are not, as he would have the public believe, sectarian in their character. Thev are as free from the charge of sectarianism as public schools in any other part ot tne country. LOCAL NOTICES. Park Hotel rooms, without board. Stop that cough ! Take Hessen's Congh S-ynip.
