In the trial of the Payut- Indi.Ds for the murdef
of Captain GuDnison, when the Indictment charged
them with murder, the evidence all went 70 estas-
lish il, snd not siDgl. witness was sworn 90 tho
part Of defense; and when Chef.Justice Kinoy n
bis charge 10 the jury, told them they must onng
IN verdict of guilty or acquitta, Brigham Young
seDt word by one Of biz pets 10 the Jury, s ono
OF them tb' n and there acknowledged, TO bring
IN verdict Of manslaughter-w which was accori-
Dely done. Judg" Kmny was too tmid 10 finally
free himself from all blame by remani!na tho
jury; and Colcne Steptoe also too fearful 20
syail himself Of the powers vested IN him By viz
tue Of his " secret mission " TO avenge n murder
of brother officer IN summary manner.
Another instance was the murder on the bench,
in the SUBURBS If this city, by one man named
- Sharp, of a private soldier belonging "a
Colonel SIS command. Sharp made bic brags
that he had killed the damDcd Gentle, and tho
horse the solder rode was returned - Govern
ment-the "Krasl " Why was not that re-
ported 1t was policy probably. Let IL NOT m
validate any hing may say because United ststes
officers fail TO report the many outrsges com
nitted not only on citizens and persons IN trsn"t
but on law, dtcency aud justice. Here they 1a'o
a Probate Court, selt constituted, 10 open vioia-
ii, n of the organic act on which United States
under the eyes of each District Judge; An Why
il not that fact reported They Say i 10 not
their place 10 indict-it is the business OF tho
Grsrd.J But have they ever charged
grand Jury 10 fbd true bill against sucn htges,
jurors, officers ard the like coDnected there"lsn
There is but one solitary exception ON record
and that was in the case OF the Hon. w. W. Drum
mond, and biz charge 10 them completely ialei'
Ills plea on the part OF some, aud failure on tho
part of Judge D. will serve to open your eyes ~
fact adytrr-d 10, that when their sworn duties
as Jurors c0uhict with their obligations 70 Their
fraternity, ii the former become null and void.
An, ther reason why officers fail TO opeE the
eyes of the States to facts ss they exist 10, tne
msoIity Of them are MOrmons. The Gov

preme Judge, one lnoian Agent, one Indian bach.
smith, aid all he Clerks aud Deputy United
States Attorneys are Latter-Day Sants; and can
you expect them To report Another reason is,
many OF the Gentle officers sent here are men Of
seven pIiDcip ples-" hye l0ayes and two fishes.
They come to speculate and, Is such, have but little
moral courage or character. They discover, after
having been here short time, that there is no
81 Op, ming fer ebterprsiDg men with small capital
in the political lIne-that should this ever be sd
mite d as Il State, all their dreams OF standing,
like Cass or a Benton, as champion Dr II IN
the Senate. chamber must fade away. They nAve
not the Latter. Day shibbOlelh which would sdnit
them to that distinction. They speculate In
II ouey matters--tIy 10 make it in one way, 70
meet their Losses in aJOtber. AZ last they rearo
from this country with Brigham's pstriArchA
blessiDg--we uay hope, to that o6seur,ty when 10
their legitimate sphere
1t would be q matter of the greatest surprise
and astonshment to the people of the Ststes
could they only peep into this our Mecca and SEQ
,rhere the confidence aud patronage of the Govern
m.Dt is paced. Many curious things would here
| be observed. On one corner may be seen large
thrte.stoTy Gothic building, whose proportions
would attrac. even the admiration OF the Got2anl-
| ties containing siIty spifltuals (tormerly csued
| concubines) under lock and key, prohibited from
visiting or receiving company; all these belonging
TO ole man. and that man fed from the Treasury
of the United States-tbat man the Governor oi
this 1eIritory-tbat Nan who, nearly two years
since d.f.d Frank Pierce to turn him out oi
office and who, a few weeks since, reverted a.
| this fact as an evidence of his prophetic fore
| knowledge. Here BgaiD may be seen TWO neat
cottages eridencing the fact that their owner 10
| more rural in his tastes than the Governor. lnoso
cottages contain six women belonging TO, and fed
| from the tees of the Uuted States Marshal. AT
short. Lot magnificent, distances, are hundreds oi
| houses contain ing from six to twenty concnbinee
each owing TO their ability and service rendered
in building up the Kingdom.
Now they ask. you to admit them, anu shas
lfgaJize their system. May not hope the Amer
ican people will pause and reflect before taxing
| such step-Obe which would dim the luster u
our national greatnt IS; which would bring WITH II
present disgrace and future iDfa Dy-a step which
time with its finger Of scOrn would point AT - the
