himself to the cultivation of the soil, and his efforts

MORMON IUsTICE.--The three Indians,
murderers Of Capt. Gunnison, whose arrest
was noticed some time ago, we're tried before
the U. S. District Court Of the Territory of
Utah, and notwithstanding the testimony
was clear and undisputed, the Mormon jury,
under The influence Of their leaders could be
induced 10 bring them in guilty only of man
slaughter. Under this verdict, the only one
that could be got the Indians were sentenced
to.three years Imprisonment But, as il to
set at defiance the authority of the United
States, in less than three weeks they were
permitted by the Mormons to escape!
The New York Times states Dn the author
ity Of private correspondence that no doubt
whatever is entertained by Col. Step,oe and
the authorities, thatthe whole thing had been
brought about by the Mo-mons for the ex-
press purpose of conciiating the Indians and
exasperatng them against the Federal au-
thority. For some time past, Mormon mis-
sionaries have been maintained among the
Indians, and Brigh,m Young has proposed
that intermarriage among the Indians and
Mormons be introduced and encouraged as
rapidly as possible. These occurrences IN
dicate the commencement of a system OF
tamperng with the Indians on the part OF
the Mormons, from which the worst results
may be apprehended.
