Show A SWEET-SCENTED LETTER. An Ogden Journalist Who is Evidently Evi-dently Aspiring to be an Editor on the "Deseret News." A letter purporting to be written from the Utah penitentiary is published in yesterday's Ogden Herald, relative to Utah Federal officials and other cognate subjects, and as a sample of dirty and contemptible journalistic work the author is entitled to whatever premium pre-mium the Church is paying for this kind of literature. A few extracts from this spurious epistle will show the base calumniator calum-niator up in his lying charges, and would, if he had not the cowardice to hide beneath be-neath a nom de plume, entitle the cur to a well-deserved kicking from the first Gentile citizen who comes across him : The delectable menu of vile Federal office holders now cursing this great Territory with their malarial presence. One of the "trustys', brought word inside that two of the local officials had been visit- j ing the city consorting with some of its imported im-ported monogamio harlots, outside the marriage relation, and that they had brought back with them the biting fruitage of their unlawful liasons. This occurred some time ago- It is said that a large percentum of the jurors of the three judicial districts over which the immaculate judges Zane, Bore-man Bore-man and Powers preside with so much fairness (?) and dignity (?); who have been luuiuimg ana convicting mormons for loving lov-ing their families, are lechers, bastard-getters, Sodomites, whore-masters, defaulters, gamblers, drunkards and the like; and it is well-known that many of the crusaders are unclean and leprous men, whose many vile examples are too outrageous to detail. . It is understood in town among "vigilantes" "vigil-antes" that Judge 'g son is a chronic patronizer of questionable establishments, and it may be that his name is on the black list so much referred to nowadays. If this is true his name should be put with Vander-cook;s, Vander-cook;s, Lewis', Sprague's Pearson's Miller's leanan's et al; and if the true inwardness of these men's lives was known there might be no question as to their entire fitness to become the herein associates of Jnmp off the Fence Thorn and other such worthless characters as he is. |
