IN N TOT 1IAV"
WASHINGTON. NON

Washington, Nov. 10.
I learn from an intelligent gentleman who
has spent two or three years among Salt
Lake Mormons, a fact or two tending to con-
firm the suspicious that the recent terrible
massacre Of over 100 California emigrants
by Santa Clara Indians was perpetrated un-
der the influence of the Mormon leaders.
1t is evident that the savages who perpe
trated this outrage are the same band who
cut off Capt. GuEnson and his command,
for they are the only band of Indians at
Coru Creek, and have grain to sell. They
are the same, also, who a year or more ago
came very near masSacreeing DIR. HUNT, the
T. S. Indian Agent, Mr.. Burr, U. s. Sur
veyor General and party, at the suggestion
of Mormon enissaries, who rode into an In
dian village few miles ahead of them and
announced that the indian agent and his
friends were coming to arrest and punish
them fer Gunnisons murder. On that occa-
sion, fortunately, they were accompanied by
the war Chief of neighboring friendly tribe
who succeeded, with difficulty, in satisfying
TIE indians they were on 4 friendly visit.
| learn also that Bill Hickman and Lat
Smith, enormously published Locksmith,
who headed the party which recently de-
stroyed the train containing supplies for the
troops on their way to Utah, are two of the
most notorious leaders of the Mormon Da-
mite Band or destroying Arabs.
T,:c-c is reascc.n, to believe that Brigham
Young has fully made up MS mind that he
must leave Utah next spring. Ii seem tnass
part of the mission to England of Elder Or
son Pratt and Ezra F. Bronson, who is still
abroad, was to seek from British Govern
ment permission to settle in the British Pos
sessions. The application was refused.
According to the present intention, Ex-
President Lamar, of Texas, will be appoint
ed Minister to Nicaragua.
Affairs in Utah occupy the attention of
the administration, but no definite action
has yet been taken in view of late adyices |
from the territory.
Sir WIN. Ousley will, by appointment,
have a formal interview with the President
tomorrow.

ADVANCE IL RAILROAD FAREs.-The n Y
& Erie, the y. Y. Central, the Ohio & Penn
syIvania, and the Pennsylvania Central r.
Road, four leading Railroad companies in
the country, have recently held g conyen-
ton and combined to raise the passenger
fares about % per cent. and freight charges
about 90 per cent. The fare from Chicago
to New York is now $2f, instead of $40 !;
from New York to St Louis. $50 instead Of
S2i, &c. These roads having set the exam
pile, all the minor roads are following in the
same track. These are the means by which
the railroad companies propose to relieve
themselves from their present financial t-ou-
bTcs The plan is on par with that Of the
little French shop keeper, who, finding his
profits running rather low during the 'hard
times" orc morning announced to his
friends that he had made :. tousand dollar
last night" "IndcedI how did you do
that!" ouquired his friends. ~ mark all
my goods up" said the Frenchman. The
railroad companies viii find, we apprehend,
that " marking up" their fares at time
when the prices of everything else are fall
Ing, is the last wy to increase their reve-
nues.

Will the rvtcc of Gtuin Improve?

There can be no doubt on that htad. The
close Of navigation, when the country has
Just commenced to recover from fearful
monetary panic, must necessarily ind the
market for all articles Of farm produce az
the lowest point Now is the time when the
Uarehouseneu east and west will foot up
the stock on hand, compare it with the stock
On hand at the same date in former years,
make an estimate Of how much will be
needed for the winter, and what viii be the
balance in spring. If that balance promises
TO be small, or nothing, we shall in the
course of a month or two find the eastern
dealers in the western market, making pur-
chases to send forward as soon as navigation
opens. II the balance on hand promises to
be large in spring. OF course the demand in
the west will be neither So early nor so brisk,
But It is manifest, 1the stock On hand az
the seabeard cannot be near what it was a
wear ago. We all know that the commence
rrent OF the panic but few weeks after
harvest at once closed operations in bread
stuffs; then navigation has closed half a
month earlier than last year, so that these
two causes combining, with low prices, &c,
the shipments from the west TO the cast can
be little more than half what they were a
year ago. There will, then, in the first
place, be heavy demand in spring to sup
ply the deficiency at the scaboard.
In the second place, there must be con-
siderable foreign demand. England and
France, last year took Of the L. S. in round
figures 10000, 900 bushels of grain. The
grain crop in Europe this year is trife bet
ter than it was last year; but this advantage
is more than balanced by the failure of the
potato crop. 1t is safe, therefore, TO look to
Europe for market for as much as we ex-
ported last year. OF last years export, s.
o00,O0O bushels had been shipped by the
1ssOf November. The present year, on &C
count of the money panic, but 100000 bu
shells had been shipped on the 1st Nov. To
the deficiency for home consumption at the
seaboard IN spring must then be added the
demand that must arise there for export.
I. is ticklsh thing to undertake to ad-
wise farmers either to hold on or to sell; but
facts Ike these certainly furnish ground for
encouragement not to be unnecessarily pre-
cipitatc. Farmers should sell enough 10
keep cut OF debt ct almost any price, but
beyond that there is no reason why they
should give their grain away under the i'm
pulse Of 4 grouadlcss panic.

DowxwAID TENDENCY OF BEEF-The very
best beef cattle were selling at New York,
last week, at prices equivalent to ten cents a
pound for the meat, at which the quarter
may be sold, and leave the hide and fat for
profit. The Tfi5uae says:
great many cattle, of very fair quail
~, sold at nine cents, and none over ten
cents. except they were rated premium or
extra quality. And these prices are expect
ed to continue by nearly all parties engaged
in the business. II is, therefore, out Of the
question that city consumers should be OBJ
liged to pay twenty cents. or any such sum,
for steaks and roasts. The price Of beef
cattle is down, permanently Down; the
question now is, whether consumers are to
profit by it."

FRIGuTFUL TRAGEDY.-A frightful tragedy
occurred on the LIST inst at Port Jefferson.
on Long Island, y. Y. At half past 7 o.
clock in the morning Mrs. Warren, Mrs.
Sturdevant her daughter, and her son-in-
law Mr.. Sturdehant, were at breakfast in
the house occupied by Mrs. Walters and her
husband when the latter suddenly rushed
into the dining room and commenceda dead
ly assault upon the parties assembled there.
With an iron bar he successfully attacked
each of them, killing Mr.. Sturdevant and
Mrs. Waters almost instantly, and leaving
Mrs. Sturdevant insensible and bleeding up
on the floor. \ little boy ten years old, a
child of Mrs. Waters by former husband,
was up stairs during the ARRAY and on hea-
ring the cry of murder" hid under the
bed. Him Walters next went in search OF,
but passed the room he was in, when the
boy escaped from tie house and alarmed the
aeghbors. Walters was found in the barn,
where he had hung himself
The only motive assigned for the icndish
act was that Mrs. Walters was possessed in
her o:vu right Of property worth 100000,
and Walters was possessed with the fear
that she intended to give the property on
her death to her children by her first mar
riage.

THE KANSAS CoSsTITUTloN-To the ex-
clusion ofmuch other interesting matter, we
publish this morning schedule of the Con-
stitution framed by the Convention in Kan
sas, at its recent sitting. We have not space
to give any comments upon this proceeding
to-day, but we shall have something to say
regarding it hereafter. In the meantime we
will take occasion to express our firm belief
that the Administration at Washington will
take effective measures to secure to the
citizens of Kansas the right guaranteed to
them of deciding for themselves upon the
provisions and principles of the Constitution
under which they are to be admitted into the
Union as State. We coincide with Demo-
cratic cotempory in saying that g on the side
of the people of Kansas, against the trainers
of the proposed Constitution, are the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, the entire Democratic
Press of the North, and respectable share
of the Southern Democratic Press, and the
attempt to secure the admission Kansas into
the Union under Constitution not acted
upon by the citizens of the Territory viii
prove, we think, rand failure. "-Bl00m-
