DAVID WHITMER DEAD. | i The Last Witness to the Autkenticity of the Book of Mormons Passed Away- ' Richmond, Va. January 22—Da- vid Whitmer, the last witness to the | divine authenticity of the Book of | Mormons, who has been in feeble health for sume weeks past, passed peacefully away at 5 o'clock this af- ternoov. His son, David Whitmer, Jr.; his grandson, Geo. W. Schwelch; his grauddaughter, Mre. Josie Var- cleave, of Chicago; Mr. J. Snyder, the accredited historian of the anti- polygamon branch of the Mormon Church, a1.d one or two old fiiends were with him at the time of his death. A night or two since he called bs physician, Dr. Buchanan, to his side and told him that his testimo.y as recorded in the Book of Mormon was true. Yesterday he said to the members of his family that he had | been permitted to louk behi.d the veil and had seen Jesus Christ wait- ing for him on the other side. His mind was clear and unclouded to the last. Those who are acquainted with him have no doubt but that he wit- nessed what he claimed. No arrange- ments have yet been made for the funeral. David Whitmer was cne of the three witnessess (Martin Harris and Oliver Cowderly being the other two) who testified to ‘all nations, kindrede, tongues and peoples” that they had seen the golden plates upon which were engraved the hieroglyphics that were translated into the Book of Mormon; “that an angel of God came down from heaven and laid be- fore our eyes, that we beheld and s.w the piates and engravings there- Ane WHITMER 8 CAREER. Mr. Whitmer was born near Har- risburg, Pa., inthe year 1804, and | when 4 years of age his parents moved to the state of New Yorl, settling near the northern extremi- ties of Lakes Cayuga and Senace, two miles from Waterloo. He re- ceived a good education in tle schools of that section, and in 1830 was married in Seneca county, ). Y. He, with other members of hir family who had been converted te the belief of Joseph Smith, in 1837, emigrated to Caldwell, Mo. In 183 a large number of Mormons, unde the leadership of Smith, established asettlement in Caldwell county and called it Far West. The people of the section regard- ed the Mormon religion as inimical to society, peace and civilization, and as aresult of this feeling war followed. But it was brief and al- most bloqdless resulting in the sar- render of 1,000 Mormens, among the number many men prominent in church affairs, and the agreement of. the remainder to leave the state. In 1838, Mr. Whitmer, seeing the course affairs were teking, cut loose from Jeseph Smith. In that yem he and his brother Jchn were one day notified by a friend that unless they made confession of their apos- tacy they would be killed, as the ieaders in the church at Far West were conspiring against them. Immediately after receiving the warning they hastily arranged their personal affairs and prepared for ight. At this time John Whitmer was clerk of the church at Far West and had in his possession the church records and original manuseript of the Book of Mormon. On the day of their flight the manuscript was given to Oliver Cowdery for safe keeping, who subsequently delivered it to David Whitmer, in whose pos- session it has ever since been.

He always protested against the Book of Cove- nante, and considered it as merely a compilation of special revelations which Joseph Smith and his succes sors pretended to have received. He had frequently declared that should any of the high priests of the polyg- amous-Utah branch of the Church ever claim any of their interpolations to be from the origual tablets, or proclaim that their doctrines of practices were authorized by the true version, he would bring forth the records and confound ther. Until such an opportunity offered, he, and he alone, would be the cus- todian of the sacred documents. There is no doubt that Mr. Whit- mer was firmly convinced of the di- vine origin of the Book of Mormor, and while he made no effort to ir- trude his views or beliefs on the public, he wanted the world to know that so far as he was concerned there was no “variableness or shad- ow of turning.” The manuscript of the Book of Mormon, which Mr. Whitmer has 80 zealously guarded for nearly half a century, is now in the possession of his son. It is a document yellow with age, but it is almost an impossi- bility for a stranger to get a glimpse of it. cen” Atlanta, Ga. Srate oF Onto.

There is a well-defined and grow- ing opinion that the greatest danger to our free institutions is the now enormous and constantly increasing power of corporations. To all other iustutions and to every natural per son is denied by the laws the dis- tinctive attribute of sovereignty; the right of eminent domain. To this is attached perpetuity of existence and the steady growth of power and privileges far above what belongs to the citizen, even of this country, which boas:s so much of its liberty. That some check should be placed upon this steady progress towards a Consumption, Scrofula, General Debility, Wasting Diseases ot Children, Coughs ard Bronchitis, can be cured by the use ot Scott’s Emulsion of pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypopkosphites.

And again, a judge- ship is not for life under our system, ;aud aman who has served in the capacity of railroad council may have it in his mind to return to his old place at some future time, and in this case, as in the other, may be uncor- sciously swayed to partiality or But above all, one who is interested as a stock holder, or otherwise has av actual interest in corporations, should nev- er be selected for a judicial position. Self-interest is the same in every man, aud is necessarily dangerous to fair ness of mind. The judgment of an eminent and pure English judge was reversed a few months ago in a cor poration case because he held two trifling shares in the concern, though it appeared that he had entirely for gotten that he was so interested. The people at large have also an other incentive to exercise vigliance in selecting judicial officers.
