THE WOMEN OF UTAH.

Their Views Respecting Pologamy—Copy of Their Petition to Washington. The Salt Lake correspondent of the Sacramento Union gives the following as a copy of the paper signed by nearly 2,500 •women of Utah, and forwarded by them to Washington in October: "PETITION OF THE MORMON WOMEN. —MRS. PRESIDENT GRANT: Honored lady, deeming it proper for woman to appea'l to woman, we. Latter-day Saint ladies of Utah, take the liberty of preferring our humble and earnest petition for your kindly and generous aid not merely because you are the wife of the Chief Magistrate of our great nation, but we also are induced to appeal to you because of your high reputation for nobility and excel* lence of character. Believing that you, as all true women should do, (for in our estimation every wife should fill the position of counselor to her husband,) possess the confidence of and have much influence with his Excellency President Grant, we earnestly solicit the exercise of that influence with in behalf of our husbands, fathers, sons and brothers, who are being exposed to the murderous policy of a clique of Federal officers, intent on the destruction of an honest, happy, industrious and prosperous peo-

We have broken no constitutional violated no obligation, either national or sectional we revere the sacred Constitution of our country and have ever been an order-loving and lawabiding people. We believe the institution of marriage to have been ordained of God, and therefore subject to His allwise direction. It is a divine rite and a civil contract, and hence no man unauthorized of God can legally administer in this holy ordinance. We believe also in the Holy Bible, and that God did anciently institute the order of plurality of wives, and sanctioned and honored it in the advent of the Savior of the world, whose birth on the mother's side was in that polygamous lineage,as He testified to His servant John, on the Isle of Patm09, saying, 'I am the root and the offspring of David.' And we uotonly believe but most assuredly know that the Almighty has restored the fullness of the everlasting Gospel through the prophet Joseph Smith, and with it the plurality of wives. This we accept as a purely divine institution. With us it Is a matter of conscience, knowing that God commanded its practice. Our Territorial laws make adultery and licentiousness penal offenses, the breach of which subjects the offender to fine and imprisonment These laws are being basely subverted by our Federal officers who, after unscrupulously wresting the Territorial offices from their legitimate holders, in order to caary out suicidal schemes, are substituting licentiousness for the sacred order of marriage, and seeking by these measures to incarcerate the most moral and upright men of this Territory, and thus destroy the peace and prosperity of this entire community. They evidently design to sever those conjugal, paternal and fraternal ties which are dearer to us than our lives. We appreciate our husbands as highly as it is possible for you. honored Madam, to appreciate yours. They have no inter* ests but such as we share in common with tbom. If they are prosecuted, we are prosecuted also if they are impris* oued, we and our children are left unpro* tec.ted. As a community we love peace and promote it. Our leaders are peacemakers, and invaribly stimulate the people to pacific measures even when subjected to the grossest injustice. President Brigham Young and several of his associates, all noble and philanthropic gentlemen, are already under indictment, to be arraigned before a packed jury mostly non-residents, for the crime of licentiousness,{than which a more.outrageOUH absurdity could not exist. Under these forbidding and cruel circumstances, dear Madam, our most fervent petition to you is, that through the sympathy of your womanly heart you will persuade the President to remove the malicious disturbers of the peace, or at least that he will stop the disgraceful Court proceedings and send from Washington a committee of candid, intelligent, reliable men who shall investigate matters which involves the right of property—perhaps of life and more than all,-the constitutional liberties of more than 100,000 citizens. By doing this you will be ihe •^honored instrument, in the hand of God, jot preventing a foul disgrace tc the present administration, and an eternal blot on our national escutcheon. For which your petitioners wiU ever pray."

HEROIC CONDUCT.

A Strange Incident of the Chicago Fire. The new steam fire engine built for the city by Clapp & Jones, has at last arrived, and her appearance as she passed through the streets was such as to excite the attention of all. She was grim and toilstained, thick with dirt, blaek with smoke, her ornamental brass work was dim and tarnished. She was in no holiday attire. Somehow, as she passed along, it remiaded one of the return'of veterans from the war—with their torn and tattered battle-flags floating proudly in the breeze—grander to gaze upon than before rebel hate had marred them. She had passed through a fearl'ul contest, and had come out victorious where so many o#thers had been defeated.

Sunday afteroon, Mr. Walker, the agent, arrived with the Racine and a smaller engine for Pentwater, Michigan, at Chicago." Sunday night—that awful Sunday night for Chicago—the'great fire broke out. At 12 o'clock Mr. Walker saw that the efforts of the firemen to check the flames were unavailing, and he determined to aid by all means in his power to assist in subduing the terrible mon3ter that was so rapidly laying in ruins the most beautiful portion of the city. He reported to the Chief Engineer that he had two steamers ready for work, and requested to be assigned some place and the proper assistance but in the horrible confusion of the hour he was unable to get anything like orders or assistance. Still not relinquishing his inintention of assistance he went to the Michigan Central depot and again repeated his offer but they also were so busy taking care of their books and papers that they paid no attention to his request. As he was going away he saw a locomotive standing by the depot as suming an authority he did not posses^ he ordered the engineer to pull out and take him to the spot where his engines were—and actually had to pull the throttle and start the engine.

On his return the cars on both sides of the track were burning, so that his pathway was literally a sheet of flame. Through this dreadful gauntlet they rushed and finally arrived at the south end of the Illinois Cehtral elevator B. It was so hot that the men who had assisted in unloading the engines deserted them, and for a few moments it seemed as though all the efforts they had made to save anything would at last prove useless, and that he would lose both engines. At this critical moment some sailors came to his assistance, and with their help the engines were drawn to the south end of the slip, and then began the battle, the fiercest, the most prolonged ever sustained by any steamers

At this time every building save Elevator within a mile was on fire, the cars in the yard were in flames, the coal piles burning yet bravely did the steamers flghtagainsttliefearfulodds, and thus far had kept the fl*mes from the elevator. But the men deserted their posts and Walker, who had remained with his engines, now Was compelled to fight the advancing flames that were threatening to destroy the elevator. Such was the confusion that no one seemed to know or care what became of the property they only thought of saving their own lives.

Just then the General Superintendent came up, followed by the President of the road. Through their efforts a few men were rallied to work, the Superintendent and President each taking a pipe, and for six hours they stood there directing the stream. The situation was one of fearful peril. The coalsheds ahout the elevator were on fire, as likewise the boiler-room. But bravely they stood at their posts, and bravely the steamer kept at work, until at last the danger was passed and Elevator B, with all its wealth —$3,000,000 at least—was saved from total destruction.

Beyond Elevator were thousands of crouching human beings, who had rushed to the pier for safety, and who $rere hemmed in by the wall of flame. Escape in any direction would have been an impossibility and had the "Racine" not saved that bjillding, such a list of horror would have been added to the terrible calamity as would have made the whole world sick at heart, even at the bare recital of it. The imagination can conjure up no such scene as would have folowed, had that fire swept on aAong the struggling mass of humanity on the pier, who, to save thmseleves from the horrible death by burning, would have had to take the other dreadful and only alternative, death by drowning. Death in the most hideous form, stared those wretched watchers in the face. But bravely the steamer fought on, and its proudest record is, that it save the lives of thousands. The thought of property in such a time, becomes almost too insignificant to even bear mention. They will not know the brave men who fought so bravely to save them, but the consciousness of having performed such an act, will be to them forever as a blessing direct from heaven.

DEALERS in Chicago relics are said to be going the way of Chicago insurance companies—i. e., into liquidation.

The business was good while it lasted. The Post in describing the traffic facetiously says: "As an evidence of the enterprise that has been manifested in the trade, it may be mentioned that two prominent dealers have gone into the business of selling Mrs. Leary's cow. They had sold eighteen of her to as many different traveling museums, and announced that they are well stocked with the article—as their motto is low prices and quick sales, they expect to have a monopoly of the trade. Five barrels of oil taken from exploded lamps have been disposed of, and the demand continues. There is no inquiry for worthless safes, as such are not regarded as curiosities. Considerable inquiry has been made for chips of stone from fire-proof buildings, but as nothing remains of such structures, it has been found necessary to supply the market from a stone quarry on the West Side.
