ten letter to Brigham I oung in reply 10 MS |
OF the 18th Of September, adj
him sharp rebuke for the improp- |
er manner OF his administration OF the indian
superintendency in Utah. He tells Brigham
Dung that he has exceeded the appropriations |
for him by more than $3l 900, and that he has
no reason to complain of his drafts not being |
paid. General d. adds ESQ far from encour-
aging ainicable relations you have studiously |
to impress upon the minds OF the |
Indians that the Mormons are their friends, |
and the government and people of the States
are their enemies" The rule is to withhold |
annuities from hostile Indians, and General
Denver knows no reason why II should not |
now be applied to Young. Gen. Denver then
adds
"You have been denOuncing this govern
ment, and threatening an armed resistance TO
the authorities sent out by the President. In
deed, unless you and your coadjutors are most
grossly misrepresented, and yOnr language
misquoted, the appearance of those authorities
among you is all that is necessary to prompt
you TO an overt act Of treason. 1t could new
er have been intended, when the appropria-
tions were made by Congress, that the money
should be used in arousing sayages to war
against our citizens, or to enable subordinate
officer to carry on reasonable practices against
his own government. Tho rule OF this Office
is to withhold annuities from tho indians
whenever the place themselves in hostile or
antagonistic attitude towards the government,
and know Of no reason why tho same rule
should not be applied to you at this time but
as the appropriation has been exhausted, it is
not necessary to consider that question now.
"YOu say sthe troops must be kept away,
for it is prevalent fact that wherever there
are the most of these we may expect to find
the greatest amount OF hostile Indians, and
the least security for persons and property
The troops are under the direction OF tho
President, and it is fair to presume that he
would not send them to Utah Territory unless
there was necessity for so doing and il il
be true that wherever the greatest number of
troops, are there are to be found the greatest
number of hostile Indians, it arises from the
fact that the troops are necessary at such
places to preserve the peace and to keep the
Indians in subsection. There is no reason why
persons and property should be any the less
secure in the neighborhood Of the troops, nor
is there any reason why peaceabte citizens
should object to their presence. II it is your
intention to preserve peace, the troops will not
interfere with you but if you intend other
wise, then it is necessary that the troops should
be on the ground to enforce it.
"It is much to be regretted that such state
of affairs should exist, and it is always with
great reluctance that we arrive at the concu-
sion that American citizens should at any time
| require the strong arm of power to compel
obedience to the laws, or that subordinate
officer should so far forget his duty as to use
his official position to iniure one portion of
his fellow citizens and to ALLEVIATE another por-
ton from loyalty to their government. But
when convinced of the existence OF such facts,
the chief executive has no alternative left but
TO crush out rebellion, and for this purpose all
| the powers of the government are placed I'M
der his control.'

Following eloquent extract is taken from dis
course lately delivered by Rev. Il. H. Chapin
to his congregation in New York
set is not the ruined merchant merely lit is
not tho spectacle of deprecated property and
lost credit. and the manifold discomforts OF
usual hankruptcy-that most make us shudder
and grow sad, Around the gloomy shadow
there is still darker rim. Away down below
the financial transactions there looms sea of
iaces-these faces of workingmen and working
women, looking up among the stopped ma
chlnery OF the factories, and the silence of
shlp-yards, and all tle desolations of suspend.
ed labor looking up to the shadows OF au
awful winter overcasting them. Men and
brethren, what shall we do for these whose
hard earned dollars are not merely honor anC
credit, but bread and blood and life itself p
What shall we do for the poorest of bapes
that must soon hang on the wilted bre asts o
famine, and for the women for whom we INNS
say something more than sGod help them
All, yes, a financial crises is a matter for tear
and shuddering, as well as for arithmetic an
rumor."
