These statements 1 find in tele gran from Chicago dated * August 4, which I enclose herein. If the hon. orable gentleman made those statements, he has certainly gathered an immense crop of unsinformation durving his bricf stay in this city. The source of his false information is well known to us and is Phunl) udicated in the conversations The commission will, some time before the meeting of congress, make a full and detailed report of all our proceedings sinc: we entered upon the discharge of our duties in this teriitory, from which Pierrepont will see he has been badly imposed upon.. Without taking time to notice the numerous errors contained in this couversation, I only wish to say now on behalf of the crmmission thit every charge or inuendo that the gentlem composing this brard have bsen imprap- erly wfluenced or have failed to discharze their whole duty under the law to the best of their ability and judgment, is based upon information wiltully and wickedly false. This board is charged under the Jaw with the duty of excluding all polygumists from voting and frow eligibility to office. This is the full of our authority under the law this our work has been completely successful. We excluded some 12,000 olygawmists from the pollsat the Novem- bt elections of 1882, and many municipal Aeloctions since that time and at the yi eral election in August, 1883, embracing about 800 ofticers, who were elected, we have excluded all polygamists from ol s tether fo 1ts utmost tension in order to make it as effvctive as possible, iuso- much that the Mormonus have sued members of this board in ten several cases for what they allege to bo excess . of authority against them. I wish you ™ toconsider this as an _official communica- N tion and biing it to the attention of the resident #8 carly as practicable. Signed) A. B. CArLTON, Of the Utah Commission To Henry M. Teller, Secretary of the Iuterior. THE LOTTERY CASE. In the case of the manager of the New Orieans Lottery company against the postwas'er general, in the action for $100,000 damages in issuing an order to prevent. the deiivery of letters addressed to him, &e., Postmaster General Gresham to-day filed, by Solicitor General Philips, his auswer to the petition. He pleads a general denial to the charges against him, He alleges Postmuster Goneral Koy was satisticd, after hearing the evidence in the case, that the plaintiff was conduct- ing a scheme for obtaining money through the mails by means of false and fraudu- lent protenses; that he (Giesham) refused to rovoke Key's order, but on the other hand strictly enforced it. Gresham pleads his duty in enforcing the order originally issued by Key. THE HILL CASE, Acting Secretary New, chairman of the Hill investigating committee, declares that all publications purporting to relate to the tenor of the committee's report, are merely surmises. Noue of the com- mittee’s conclusions have been given our, and none will be given out until the re- ort has been submitted to Secretary Fn]gur‘ There is no doubt, however, that the repert will reflect severely upon Hill for general loose management of his oftice and favoritism to contractors, es. ially in awards for safos and heating dratus of the Chicago custom houss, and iron shutters for the Ciucinnati building.

He thought there was no reason why every iudustrious workian should not own his own home, He believed the government was bound to legislute in the witerest of the werk- iugman, Witness said at oue time he was u tramp on the prairies of Hlinois, without a dollar in bis pocket, and yet never Hinched in the deternnnation to succeed. Years ago he bought the ship yard at Chester, and at the present time more than 1,500 wmen wers employed there, whose wages averaged $2.19 a day. Of these, 287 owned their homes, the value of which ranged from 81,200 to 85,000, Louch swid he was not op, to wades unions; while he wouln allow his men to amuse themselves with teudes unious just as with their religion or poli- tics, ho would allow no combination or wen to run his shop, Roach continusd his testimony in the afternoon on the subjects of free shins aud lshor. Ho advocated protection of the government to shipping only as a meaus of gaining suprewacy on the sea. He stated that sbips could bebuilt in this country cheaper than in England at the present day, that the burdens were only umposed on the ship itself after construc- tion, which made it unprofitable for Americans to own vessols.

THE PLAN O They Propose to Comp 1 M o Their Will Ciiteaco, September 4.—The execu- tive committee of the Southwestern Rail- way association met to-day to decide upon action relative to the inj on brought by the Contineutal Sigar refin of Buston to prevent the commissiol of the association from diverting con- siguments from the Rock Island to other rouds in the pool. 1t was decided not to contest the suit, as it was adwitted there was no legal defense for diversion from the route billed over, unless the bill of Inding contaired a clanse grauting such privilege. A resolution was passed, the sense of which was that while the roads the of uss cinvion are common curriers, they ate notcommon forwardeis; that if eastern shippers insist upon bill ing by certam lines, the goods will be ac- cepted from the eastern trunk lines and forwarded as divected, chuge being mnde at local rates from Chicago; but that if a through bill of lading contains a clanse permitting diversion, goods will be for- warded ot the through rate.
