Mountain MEADOW massacre, and who they see
act impertinently and with impuulty in that
matter.
Atrocities too horrible to be related. and
which seemed to shock the brute savaRes them
selves, are related by pereons who claim to have
been compelled to join in that massacre. The
numoer OF persons in the train was about one

amounting.to from. SEC, 900 70 $50, 600 counting
800 cattle, horses and mules, some very fine
stocss and forty wagons and carriages. The
personal effects were taken to the tithlne Office

clothes, stripped from the murdered persons,
were piled in a room in the titbing Office, and,
not selling readily on account of being filed
wito blood, were allowed to remain in that con.

And here let me say at a time when Judge
Cfadlebaugh has been using every exertion to
expose these horrible transactions. word has
reached here that he has been removed, and the
Mormons are consequently rejoicing. The last
mail brought certain instructions to both Gov.
Cumming and Gen. Johnston, the tenor of which
Is to place the military, for civil purposes, en-
tlrely at the disposal of the Governor. The
enect OF this, in my judgment, will be TO para
Iyze to greater degree than ever any efforts
upon the part OF the Judges here to execute the
laws. There are now several prisoners IN camp,
charged with heinous crimes, committed there
because there was no jail to keep them in, and
ne mas already sigulfied, suppose, in view OF
ms Instructions, that be would keep them no
longer. The question now arises, what is to be
dom! Thehumane laws of this Territory pro-
vide for no compensation. and they will have to
20 on Mormon parole. The probabilities, there.
lNfe, q justice ever being done are extremely
remote-in fact, they boldly talk about the
Presidents proclamation.
