ref reh iolet of the congressional globe containing the remarks of congressman fitch on the cullom anti antl polygamy bill mr fitch has always ba had a high ig reputation for eloquence but it has hag at times been asserted by skeptics that his talent lay mainly in vague and flattering declamations and that though he undoubtedly y possessed that subtle power which enables the born orator to hold his audience spellbound spell bound while ho he is speaking the charm would be broken with ith the end of the speech and the cold report of his utterances would show that his argument was weak though his bis rhetoric was strong A careful perusal of mr air fitcha speech on the cullom bill convinces us that this assertion is wrong we have not met with a more splendid specimen of oratory or a more masterly argument for many years and baud whatever his opponents may say we are prepared to maintain that he may well take rank with those who have long been familiar in our mouths as household words

probably ever known in the world was sworn in laramie A lady bailiff was appointed the following is the address of chief justice howe on the occasion ladies and gentlemen of the grand jury it is an innovation and a great novelty to see as we do today to day ladies summoned to serve as grand jurors the extension of political rights and franchise to women is a subject that is agitating the whole country I 1 have never taken an active part in these discus discussions slon sion but have long seen that woman was a victim to the vices crimes and alid immoralities oc of man with no power to protect and defend herself from these thesa evils I 1 have long felt that such powers of protection should be conferred upon woman and it has fallen to our lot here to act as pioneers in this movement
