CAxr FIorp, March 81. 1850.
1cnclose you a proclamation Of Gov. Cum
ming, and also the remarks Of Judge Cradle
baugh, on the bench, when the exprcssman
handed it to him. send you By this mail also,
the Fatty Tan, and all Extra Of the Church
organ.
You will readily perceive that matters nre
tending to point in this Territory. The Gov
ernor is beginning more and more to show his
hand, and in the most silly way, too. He had
only to add one more scntence-one that is
quite usual toput into proclamation, 9.t: ''And
call upon all good citizens" &c, &c--and he
would then stand about where Brigham Young
stood with his proclamation against the entry Of
OF the army in ISL. As it is, Gov Cumming
stands arrayed i'll I'LL exceedingly hostile atti-
tude against the Judiciary Of the United States,
ill Utah, and against the T. s. troops and the
Commander. This state Of affairs cannot last.
The government must take decided measures
Tor one or the other. Either the Judiciary, and
the Military Commander here must 70 under,
aud Gov Cumming aud the Mormons, with all
'l1r'r system Of rlunder theft, murder and polyg-
amy be fostered by the country or else Cum
ming and his Mormon friends must be removed
mud the Judiciary sustained. We all arc wait
in, to see which will be the course Of the
hume government. The Administration can not
ride three horses any longer.
Would you believe it, that General Johnston
has never received one line Of instructions from
Washington in oil this matter. saye and except
those giren to WIN. $. Harncy in 1857, at tile
time he was under orders to come out? Strange
as this may appear to YOU, it is yet the fact.
Now, the objects in this are evident to General
johnson and every intelligent officer here. The
government at home have not the courage to
meet this Mormon "ThfoeYrry," and they there
fore wish the commander to do just as be thinks
hest, und they ut home stand and wait till it is
dune, and then condemn or approve his course
rs the political stock market may render most
rxprdient. More than one here sees aud knows
full we'll this dishonest gauae is being played'
while there is every evidence Of tbs move
ments Of the present Executive Of Utah being
quite in the confidence, support and advocacy Of
this horde Of robbers, outlaws and murderers.
t;rcat excitement exists, and it is hoped that
thu ball will get in motion somehow. Cradle
baugh is a man, every inch Of him, despite Of
:ll opposition from Mormon Governors, and all.
lie is sustained By every military man here, and
lie knows it. and will doubtless adjourn his
t'ourt to this camp, having already four MIR
t3e1trs and in Chase Of three more
Cu1cAGoAS.
JUICE cRAnLEnArGH DISCHARGES THE GRAND
JURY.
The followin. are the remarks Of Judge
Cr,dlebaugh upon the occasion Of dscharginy
thc Grand Jury:
This day makes two weeks from the time You
were elnpannc]led. At that timc, the court was
verv particular to impress upon your minds the
fact that it VILE desirable to expedite business
rs speedily Us possible. The court took occasion
to call your attention to the difficulties under
which ne had to labor. Ii told you Of the con
.iti"n Of the legislation; it tnld you Of tue fact
that the Legislature had not provided proper
means 10 aid the court III bringing criminals to
punishment it told you that aside from TINT,
thar The legislation was uf such character rs to
rnl3arrass tle court in the discharge of its 4iu-
Ties; and that they had given criminal jurisdic-
ton to courts Of their own creation, which by
the organicact can exercise no such Jurisdiction
They had Suu-ht to throw the punishment of
crimes into suef. tribunals.
Tie court also called your attention to the
fact that there had been, in connection with this
Legislation, attempt by persons within this
Territory 10 brin2! the Cnted States Courts into
disfeputc with this people. 1t particularly
called Your attention to the fact that Brigham
Young, the late Executive If the Territory, at
1nr time when Ire w:s Il sworn officer Of the
GoVernMcnt-sWorn 10 SEE that the laws were
e1ccutcd-had taken occasion tn tlenounce tia
courts as vile and corrupt; also that lie l:d Ill
ktu oceasun to denounce all attorneys and Iu-
."rs Of the court and that this WAS done to pre-
vent the proper and due administration Of JUS
t!cc in tile Territory.
The court felt ii to he its duty to rcprl sncl,
SANDERS: that it owed to tue position it occu-
pied and to the members Of thu lar, wLo were
Looked upou " honorable men, and from, its IT,
socatio,I with tlltn it felt il to he its tluty 10
rrprl such ISLANDERS, lei them come from what
s"rcc tl'ry might. This dunc for The ,,,lr-
Iu>e of SLOWING tie difficulties that you and the
court laborcd under IN bringing criminals to
Justice.
Aside from this, the court took the unusual
course rf calling Your attention to particular
crlnnes--the hnrr.ble massacre ut the Mountain
meadows 1t told YOU uf the murder Of young
JuncS and his mother, and ofrulEing their house
l"wn over them and making that ttlcir tomb; it
t"d you Of the murder ot the rarrisIlrs, and
Potter, and Forbes. almost within sight Of this
court huuse. 1t took occasion to cali names for
,he purpose Of calling your particular attention
to those crimes; the fact that they have been
committed is notorious.
The court has had occasion to issue bench
warrants to arrest persons connected with the
Parrish murder: has had them brought before it
and examined; lie testimony presents I'M un-
parallrfItsl condition Of affairs. 1t seems that
lie whole community were engaged in commit
tin.. tillt Crlinc. Facts 70 to show it, There
>tru,s III hea combined effort On til. purt Of the
community to screen thu murdcrers from the
punishment due them for the murder they huyc
cntl.,littct.
| might call yuur attention to the fact that
when officers srtk to arrest persons accused Of
crimes tllrv are not lbc to do SO the parties
are screened and Secrctcd BY tue community.
Scarcely had thu officers arrived in sight Of tile
town 1T spr'nGrilie before trumpet was sound
cd from the walls around the town. This. no
doubt, was for the purpose Of girin. the ularm,
The officers were there to make arrests. The

certain na1s, for whom lie has writ, be having

officer desires to tind is ut the time in sjrIt in
the street w have here Bishop wins. IL pre-
vent the service of the process Of this court,
and aiding ii preventing criminals being
brought III punishment.
Such arc the attempts made to prevent the
administration Of Justice in the courts. Officers
are prevented from making arrests, they arc
tllwarted upon all points when they seek 10 ar
rest ,hosc persons who should be brought to
punishment.
Such acts and conduct 70 to show that the
community thrrc do not desire tu have criini-
nals punished; il shows that the Parishes and
Potter weTe murdered by counsel, that it was
done By authority the testimony goes to show
that the persons engaged in committing these
murders art officers III that community, police
men, and that they have since been promoted
for committing these he:h crimes.
At the commencement Of this trrul Of court.
these persons were seen elbowing about the
streets with the Bishops aud other disuitaries,
but HOW they arr not to be found.
l say all the facts 20 to shuw that those Of
fences were committed by officers, in that town,
aud there is a determination to cover up and to
secretc the offenders.
You have had sufficient time to examine those
cases; more than two days ago, you had all the
