informed, that as ho had chosen to associate
with Mormons, he was entitled to the same
treatment and equal honors with them. He
was further informed, that his Judges, after
q careful reference and examination Of the
precedents in such cases had come to the
conclusion that the one relating to poor
Tray was precisely in point; and if in future
he wished to avoid catching thunder" he
must avoid entirely the society of Norm ons.
lie was, accordingly, out of compliment to
his superior merits and Anti Mormon pre-
tensions, treated to double the number of
lashes which had been administered to his
Mormon colleagues. After the Aagellation
had been duly administered, to the very
great satisfaction of tho grim disciples Of
Judge Lynch, and much to the chagrin and
modification Of those receiving it, the Nor
mons were ordered "to take themselves off
to the holy city," and advised never again
to make their appearance out of the cor
poration limits, unless they wish to incur
the most deadly vengeance. Their arms
were restored to them, with the exception Of
one gun, which was claimed to be the prop
erty of Samuel McBratney, who had pershed
by Mormon violence a year before. This
gun was retained by the Anti -Mormons as
kind of relic of one who had suffered mar
tyrdOm in their cause, as well as an evil
dence of the theiving propensties of their
enemies.
In the meantime the Mormons, with their
undressed wounds open, and bleeding pro-
fusely, fastened back to Nauvoo, and rela-
ted the story of their wrongs, without omit
ting any circumstance which might in any
way tend to iniame the public mind. As
might have been expected, the relation Of
an outrage so cruel, and inflicted on such
small cause of provocation, created the most
unbounded and passionate excitement. A
public meeting was instantly called, in which
as usual, small demagogues, who lived by
stirring and irritating the passions of the
people, harangued in bold terms about the
enormity Of the crimes which had been per-
petrated. 1t was resolved by the assembled
Mormons, that they would take ample ven-
geance on their enemies; but as they had
always been more successful by resort to
cunning than force, it was determined to
PROSTATE justice and the law to the purpose
Of gratifying their revenge. 1t was conse-
quently determined TO take out writs for the
persons implicated, charging them with an
unlawful assault and riot. One serious dif-
fculty, however, occurred in taking out the
writs. The persons on whom the outrage
had been perpetrated, and who were about
to subscribe the necessary afiduvits, were
unacquainted with the names Of the persons
implicated, with the exception of one McAu-
ley, justice Of the peace in that neighbor-
hood, who, they averreI, was the leader Of
the rioters. The affidavit was accordingly
drawn, distinctly charging John McAuley
with the ofense. after which succeeded q
long blank, in which it was intended to in
sert the names of all persons who might
hereafter be implicated in the transaction.
The warrant was drawn in the same loose,
irregular mann er. A special officer was Sc
lected and sworn in, charged with its exc
cuton, who was instructed to insert the
names of all persons who should hereafter
be identified as being connected with the
riots. This officer Immediately proceeded
to summon every man in Nauvoo, as posse
disposed to break the peace. This summons
was obeyed with the utmost alacrity on the
part of the Mormons. Against nine O'Clock
Of the same evening, be was ready to march
with near hun n ID men into the infected
district.

latcs this illustrative incident rs number
of years ago, happening to be in Paris on
the 4th of July with many other Americans
we agreed to celebrate the day by dinner
at the Hotel Maurice. There were seventy
two of us in all. We had but one guest..-
This was NJ. De Tocqueville, who had then
rendered himself famous by his great work
upon Democracy in America. During the
festivities of the evening, after the cloth
had been removed, and speechifying had
commenced, some gentleman alluded en- pas
SAINT to the fact that he was born in Con
necticut. Connect de- coot," exclaimed
Monsieur De Tocqueville, as he suddenly
rose with the enthusiasm of Frenchman.-
"Vy mcssieurs will tell YOU vid the permis-
S op Of de presidante of this festival, von
very leetal story AMI then viii give you
Won grand sentiment, to dat little State you
call Connect de-coot. Won day ven vaz

Constitution, he was entitled to six of his
boys to represent him on dat floor. But
ven make de acquaintance personelle with
de members, ! find dat more than tirty of

And then ven vas in dc gallery of the
House of the Senat, find de Constitution

boys to represent him in dat legislature
But voEce more ven make de acquaintance

Connect de coot, the leetal yellow spot
dat made de clock peddler, de schoolmaster,
and de Senator. De first, give yon time; de
second, tell you vat you do with him, and
de sird, make your law and your civilization
and then as he was resuming his seat
amidst roars of laughter he rose again, and
with that peculiar gesticulation which char
acterlzes all Frenchmen in moments of ex-
citement, he shook his finger tremulously
over the assembled conferers, and exclaimed
at the top of his voice, "Ah, gentleman,
dat leetal yellow State you call Connect-de-
coot, is one very great miracle to me-"
Come to think, Connecticut is good deal
like the little Arabian bottle whence issued
the most wonderful Of the genii. As the
writer very nptly remraks: "Conuecticut is
a splendid State to be born in, and mag
nifcent State to get out Of"
