Well, what are you going to do about it?

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED. Monday night the Democratic campaign iu~inis county was opened by Senator Yoorhees, and John E. Lamb, the candidate for Congress in this district. It was expected that the exercises would take place in Court Park where as many would have assembled as could have possibly beard the speakers. But the weather proved unpropitious and at the last moment it was necessary to select Dowling's Hall. A full report of the speeches made will be found in another part of todays' paper and will be read with interest by the hundreds who were detained from attending by the inclement weather or could not have crowded into the hall had they tried.

Senator Yoorhees was at his best, and

what that is, it is unnecessary to say to the people of Vigo county who have heard him repeatedly giving voice to

their gladness or their grief on occasions of rejoicing or sorrow, or warning, ad vising and always instructing and enter, taining them when matters of moment were beiore the people for their consideration. As the se nior Senator from Indiana bis voice is heard with authority in the highest legislative .body in the land, and when lie ouches upon national affairs in his iscussions he refers tb mat ters with wh ieh he is intimately ac quuinted.

His opening remarks last evening were devoted in the first place to a glowing eulogium on the State of Indiana. A ptr_ tinent portion of it and one of interest to his hearers was a quotation from an authori ty in the census bureau in which as estimate is placed on the resources of Indiana and a comparison instituted be tween her ad van tag es both natural and acquired and those of the other states of the Union. This comparison is a flattering one to the pride of the people of the State and was listened to with quicke ned pulse and swelling heartAjid this feeling of exultation was heightened by the knowledge that oniv.a few short weeks ago, from his place in the Senate, this portion of his speech, amplified and expanded to proper proportions, was de livered in the hearing of the whole coun-. try as was that celebrated eulogium on Massachusetts by the distinguished statesman after whom he was named. It was not an apology or an explanation as has been more or less the custom of his predecessors in replying to the insufferable arrogance of Senators from older States, who have assumed that Indiana was poor and her inhabitants ignorant, but a just and proper and glowing description of a great State, the equal of any and the su. perior of most of her sisters.

His argument was at the first directed to a discussion of the proposed prohibitory constitutional amendment To It we can no more than refer the readerasking for it a careful perusal. His views are precisely those of the GAZETTE and though the attempt has frequently been made they have not as yet been successfully answered. We trust every law abiding, tax-paying citizen will avail himself of this opportunity to acquaint himself with the language of the constitution, and not place himself in the attitude of breaking the constitution and destroying its inviolability in attempting to amend it.

The action of Congress and of himself in the matter of national finances, on pensions and on the proposed reduction of taxes, all came in for their share of diacusion and deserve the attention they will receive at the hands of people, who have watched the course of legislation during the past winter with inteiegt have seen high taxes maintained to be squandered by the dishonest cabal at the head of which was Keifer and Robeson. But the speech of Senator Yoorhees is its own best commentary and to an understand ing and appreciation of it there is no need of commendation from anv source.

The exercises of the evening were coneluded with a short speech from Mr* Lamb, the Democratic candidate from this district. An abstract of his remarks will be found in the report of the proceedings. He held the attention of the audience all the way through and the applause with which the various points in his speech were received showed beyond any mistake the approval of his hearers. We expect before long to present to our readers a full report of a speech of Mr. Lamb, in which he shall discuss at length the various issues that enter into the canvass in this district.

Not hiv'ot the descriptive powers of Scott, I wilfsum up the whole matter by simply saying that this region looks as if nature in some remote geological era, and in a tit of grim, ^ardonif. and horrible humor, had rent these awtul chasm9 and canvons—aud piled up those titanic rocks, "hell west and crooked."

SALT LAKE CITT, UTAH, Aug. 20, 1882. To the Editors of the GAZETT*: Having been requested by a number of my friends in Indiana, including the editors of the GAZETTE, to write to them from this strange country, I concluded to address all of them through your paper.

I left Terre Haute on Monday at 2:50 r. M. by the Vandalia road and leached Omaha the next day before noon, making 578 miles. At Omaha I tnet the other members of the Commission, and at noon on Wednesday, we started for the West on the Union Pacific railroad, and reached Ogden, in Utah Ty., at six o'clock on Friday evening. At about eight o'clock we reached Salt Lake City, having traveled 1040 milts from Terre Haute to Salt Lake City.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTRY. To many readers Sir Walter Scott's graphic descriptions of scenery is the chit^i merit of his charming compositions. But my experience is that in general written descriptions of boundless plains, snow-capped mountains, rushing streams, castellated buttes, mountain gorges and canyons, ttc., area great bore. To appreciate iuch things they must be seen, either actually or in a pictorial representation. I will, therefore, be very brief on this topic.

Passing through northern Missouri and southwestern Iowa, on the Wabash road, from St. Louis to Omaha, I saw the richest and most beautiful farming land I ever saw. The ciops of corn, wheat and oats are splendid so in Nebraska, for over a hundred miles west ol Omaha. Then came the plains, where for hundreds ot miles there is nothing but grass. On these plains, in Nebraska and Wyoming,we saw many thousands of cattle and sheep, which are a source of gre&t wealth in these regions. But a great part of the country from Chyenne to the Salt Lake valley is the verv perfection of desolation. What wonderful endurance and perseverance the Mormons had in 1847, and soon afterwards the Argonauts of 1849,—the emigrants to California—to traverse this immense distance, through such a sterile and desolate region, ou foot and with ox-wagons—ana sometimes drawing baud-carts!

MEN AND MANNERS

always interest mc more than topographical engineering. So I must inform your reader that at Columbus, Platte Co Nebraska, our train was boarded by A. B. Coffroth, the genial and gentlemanly young lawyer, who formerly resided in Terre Haute. He had learned that the commission was aboard the train, and he came in to see us. He is practicing law at Columbus, Nebraska.

At Evastou, Wyoming Territory, near the Utah line, we stopped for dinner. And there we found a large number ot heathen Chinese—(who are employed by the railroad all along htre) There was also a party of Shoshone Indians, about twenty in number. 1 made short work of mv one-dollar dinner, as I wanted to talk to the Indians. I spoke to them in English and a little in Spanish, but they cou dn't understand me, and I could not understand them. They^ were dressed in the regulation toggery of the Indians of the plains, bareheaded, with long jet black hair, huge ear-rines, red blankets, leggins, moccasins, feathers and red paint.

At Ogden, thirty miles north of here, we were met by a committee ot about twenty of the leading citizens of this city, Saints and Gentiles, who had come with a special train to escort us down to Salt Lake City. Among the number were the following gentlemen of "the church of Jesu3 Christ of latter-day Saints:" Mr. Sharpe. President ot the Utah Central railroad Wm. H. Hooper, formerly delegate to Congress from Utah Mr. Jennings, Mayor of Salt Lake City Judge Snow, and Hozea Stout. Among the Gentiles were Gov. Eli P. Murray Arthur L. Thomas, Secretary ol the Territory: Capt. BiinSf Register of the land office, and others.

One of our Mormon friends was pointed out to me as one of Brigham Young's executioners, or avengers of blood. But, said my informant, he has got to be a good citizen since Brigham aled. •Arrived at Salt Lake City we found an immense ir^wd at the depot, awaiting the coming of the train. The committee had provided carriages in which we went to the Continental Hotel, whete we are quartered for the present. jOn Sa»urdt«r we dined wiih the Governor, Eli H. Murray, formerly of Louisville. He is a fair specimen ot a first class Kentuckian, and his handsome and accomplished wife is an honor to the "blue grass regions." After dinner we repaired about 8 o'clock to the Opera House, to a reception which is thns described by the Salt Lake Tribune, of this city. THE RECEPTION.—HOW THE SALT LAKERS

GREETED THE UTAH COMMISSIONERS. As previously arranged, a grand reception was given the members of the* Commission appointed lor Utah under the Edmunds' bill. An immense crowd assembled in front of the Walker Opera House prior to the appointed (8 o'clock) last night and awaited the coming of the Commissioners. Upon their arrival they

rya/rt

1

.• &saS:: .%.f':~sg .' •.

were conducted to the fine parlors of the Opera House building, located in the second story, and then introductions and hand shakings took place. That all might have the pleasure of taking each one of these distinguished gentlemen by the band and bidding them welcome to Utah, it was so arranged that persons could pass through the parlors, coming it at one door and passing out at another. The commissioners took positions in a row with the chairman, Hon. Alex. Ramsay, at the head,'and in tarn came Messrs. Paddock, Carlton, Pettigrew, and Godfrey. Governor Murray stood by the side of Mr. Ramsey and presented each person as they came upr announcing the name of each individual. The lon{f line of citizens, ladies and gentlemen, filed past, each seemingly anxious to do honor to the Commission and welcome its members to Utah. This reception lasted for nearly two hours, so great was the number taking part in it. During all this time there was an immense crowd of people outside, and the Sixth Infantry band discoursed some fine music. It is estimated that over 2,000 people greeted the Commissioners, and that half as many more failed to gain enti ance to the par lors. While the people participating in this reception embraced all rlasscs ot society there was a marked enthusiasm among all. Every po« TO* favorably impressed with these distinguished gentlemen. It may be said a more appropriate and hearty reception never took place in this city than the one tendered Utah Commissoners last evening.

Brother Thomas directed us to go to the extreme east end of the room, while he stood at the west end near the organ, at a distance of 250 feet. We could distinction hear him whisper, and he also dropped a pin several times, which we could hear fall on the floor perfectly well. The acoustic properties of the room are wondertul and the elder told us that Brigham lounc had it built in that shape, in order to make its acoustics perfect.

THE MEETING AT THE TABERNACLE. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, I, with two other members of the Commission, went to "meeting" at the Tabernacle. We were shown to seats near the front. The exercises were opened with singing by the choir, accompanied by the great organ, the whole conducud by a musical director. The choir consisted of about thirty females on one siue of the organ, and about thirty men on the other side. The music seemed to me to be very good. The pulpit had two rows of seats for the "Twelve Apostles Alter the music, one of the apostles arose and offered a prayer. I did not learn his name. He was a thick-set, bull- necked, and rather a goodlooking man. He used very correct language in his prayer. Then followed music. Next

the

After the reception, we visited the Mayor, Mr. Jennings, at his request, accompanied by Governor Murray, Mr. Hooper and others. Here we were entertained by Mr. Jennings. and his son and daughter, in handsome style. I have heard conflicting statements as to whether Mr. Jennings is a polygamist or not. His wife, (or wives) did not appear. He is a vtry courteous and hospitable gentleman. THE TABEKKACLE—RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.

On Saturday forenoon, I went with Col. Pettigrew to take a look at the Tabernacle, the Assembly House, the Endowment house, ana the magnificent temple now building. They are all in th* same enclosure. Butt I will confine myself in this letter to an account of my visit to the Tabernacle, and the meeting which I attended there this (Sunday) afternoon aud will conclude with some general observations. When we entered the enclosure yesterday, we were accosted by Elder Thomas, who politely ciceroned us into the Tabernacle and Assembly House, explaining everything with great volubility. A strange gentleman and two ladies fiom the east were with us, and I really pitied the old elder when he was plied with innumerable questions, prompted

4by

female curiosity.

But he had a ready answer to every question. The ground plan of the Tabernacle is a complete oval or rather an ellipse 250 feet long, and 150 feet wide. The lower part is fiuilt of red sand stoae, and has forty-six pillars. On this structure rests the huge dome, shaped like the half of an immense egg shell. This building seats 12,000 people. The organ in the west end, was, at the time it was buil', the largest, and still is the third in size in the United States.

This was Apostle Joseph F. Smith, a nephew of the original Joe Smith, the founder of Mormonism. He is the son of Hyrum Smith, who was killed in the jail at Carthage, Mo., at the same time that Joe Smith was killed. I learn that he has only two wives. The sermon was a fair average sermon, sticb as we often hear in the states. But he varied the performance by some personal reminiscences, and referred to the laws against polygamy. He did not squarely "justify the institution, but palliated and excused it, and said that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, affirming the constitutionality of the antipolygamy law, was not a correct decision.

In the course of bis remarks he gave a pathetic account of being driven away irjm his home in Missouri, and again from Illinois, when.he was a child. He gave a description of the Exodus of the saints, and their coming here when there was not a tree nor shrub in all the valley —nothing but sage brush and grass.hoppers—and he spoke of the industry and perseverance of the saints who had made the desert to blossom as the rose, &e.

In front of the twelve apostles and the preacher, were six eldeTs, and before them six silver pitchers, and twelve silver cups. The six elders stood up and occupied a considerable time in breaking up bread and placing into silver baskets.

The pitchers had water in them. And there was a barrel of water ready to replenish them. The biead was passed around to the sain's. by six deacons, and they broke the bread and did eat. Afterwaids the water (instead of wine) was passed around. Then followed more music, and the congregation was dismissed with a benediction. There were eight or ten thousand people there. They were generally a homely set but there were some good faces among them. They seemed very sober and devout They were appareled in "Sunday-go-to-meetin" clothes, and appeared as other people do, who think that tbey have the genuine article of religion.

rounding scenery, fully come up to .m*1 expectations formed from the descriptions. I had read. As to the Mormon religion,' polygamv, the condition of affairs here! &c., I shall not attempt to discuss such* matters until I shall have had further^ investigation.

Our Commission held a meeting yesteri* day, the Secretary of the Territory beings present, to consider the work before us.^

There is a mystery about this city ondj, the condition of society here, that is vei/ puzzling. The 8nlnts appear to be civil, polite and social in their bearing toward!' the commission rtbd Gentiles generally* but we are assured by Gentiles, who have long lived litre, that the Saints would cut every Gentile's throat, if it were not for their fear of the United State Government. I do not make this charge but I have heard this opinion otten expressed since I. have been here. There was nothing definetely done or set-u tied, but the unauimous understanding^ was to go lo work vigorously at once„ to execute the law of Congress, and have:* a registration for the electiop ID Npyem-fc ber. ......

Strange to say, and contrafy to ottr

ex-

pectation, many of the lesding Oeutiles^ don't want any registration ana election* this fall, while the Mornons appear to be? desirous of having the registration and1' election to proceed. Perhaps this arise*' from a conviction on both sides of the fact (and I have no doubt that it is so that after disfranchising all the polygam-" ous voters, the Mormons vho are still? qualified voters, can easily elect a nonpolygamous Mormon to Congress, I havej heard it intimated that they intend to run,* Wm.
