The lesson has gone home to the hearts

position in which they stand toward the

The feeling is universal among the Gentiles
of this city, that there is no protection in
Mormon Courts, and no security from Nor

was borne in solemn procession through
our streets 10 his burial place, transgressed
no law, committed no crime, did no dis
honorable act. The purity OF his record
was the cause Of his assassination. If be

A Foreign View.

Blackwoods Magazine is close OBJ
server of our complications. We quote
this passage from late article in that
publication. 1t is worthy of attention
on this side of the water:
If Mr.. johnson carries the day, sup
ported by the people at the November
elections, the Union is practicable, and
the United States may become, what the
great majority of the English people and
all the true friends of humanity desire
them to be-happy, respectable, pros
porous and unaggressive. But II Con-
gress, under the leadership Of Stevens
and Sumner, snatch the victory, the
Union is gone, and something else takes
its place-perhaps strong nation, a ter
ror to the world, but most certainly a
despotism, let it assume what name II
will, or hide its naked hideousness under
whatever gorgeous trappings Of power
and splendor may be TO the taste or the
fancy of the deceived people, who, in
spite of warning, and Of the principles
which urged their forefathers to revolt
successfully against Great Britain, al

prive them Of the liberty which they viii
have shown themselves unable to appre

A newspaper correspondent tells the
following good story :'I l1i' . 'i@'
| have lust come across an anecGote
of a notable man in this place, which |
think will look well in print, and de-
serves to 90 'the round" of the press.
Hon. Duncan C. Pell, who was Lieu
tenant Governor of this State last year,
is a man of considerable eccentrlcliy OF
character-a whole-souled, good-hearted
individual, but decidedly odd in many
respects Nothing so much disturbed
his euuanimity as for persons to exhibit
serious disposition and attempt to
know more of his affairs than he choose
to tell. Many years ago Mr.. Pell was
about to erect fence around one OF his
lots in the city, and in order to save him
self from the daily interrogatories which
he knew would be made by his neigh
bors and passersby, he had sign pain
ted, on which he displayed all the infor-
nation in regard to the fence which he
fancied could possibly be desired or de
manded. He narrated coneisely the fol-
lowing facts: Who was the owner of
the land; why he fenced it in; how much
lumber the fence was to contain where
he bought it, and how much a foot he
paid for it; the quantity of nails to be
used the name of the builder, and the
exact amount of land to be inclosed
Selfsatisfied that he had answered all
the questions that could be asked, Mr.
Pell was quite happy at the idea that he
had freed himself entirely from imperti-
nent inquiries. But one night, or rather
very early on very disagreeabe morn
ing, Mr.. Pell was awakened from a deep
sleep by a loud knocking at his front
door The call appeared to be so urgent
that Mr.. Pell thrust his head out of the
window and demanded, in no gentle tone,
"wbat and the-was the matter p
Standing, shivering in his only garment,
Mr. Peil held the following colloquy
with the intruder:

YES. What do you wan;g

well, Mr.. Duncan c. Pell, do you in
tend to paint that fence, or will you
whitewash it

down together, and Mr.. Pell retired to
bed. satisfied that there could be no es-
cape from genuine Yankee inquisitive-

CONGRESSIONAL GRAB.

A Conservative paper remarks that
Radicals themselves are becoming
heartily ashamed as they well may be,
of the venalty and cupidity exhibited by
their representatives in Congress. Even
the New York Tribune characterizes
their increasing their own pay at the
close of the late session as "a very an
wise, cowardly, unprincipled act They
are beginning to discover that, in po-
litical point of view, it was what TAI
LEYRAYD called worse than crime-a
blunder. r." The leaders are trying to
shuttle out of the disgraceful matter
Senators throwing it on the House, and
Representatives on the Senate. The
people, however, will hold both equally
responsible for robbing them of their
hard-earned money to the tune S7l2,OOO,
besides mileage.

RusrIcATINa PREACHERS.

The more the world knows of North
ern clergymen, the less it thinks of their
piety. The clerical character is assumed
by many of them just as that of any Or
binary profession is taken up-for the
profits of it. We see the announcement
that many of the churches of Northern
cities are closed on account OF the warm
weather. The ministers have shaken the
city dust from their feet and gone to the
gay places of fashion And this at a
time when the cholera is cutting down
the poor of their aocks, and when re-
ligious consolation and relief are most
needed The true pastor would remain
and close the eyes of those who had
assisted to support him, and who inrn-
ished him the means with which to fiy
from them in the hour of mortal ex-
tremity. Oh, the burning shame

PEACE PROCLAMATION.

In another column will be found the
peace proclamation of the President re-
ferred to by the telegraph. A Washing
ton telegram thus refers to the interpre-
tation given to it: The proclamation
of the President, which has been looked
for during the past week, restoring the
writ of habeas corpus in, and practically
terminating the military occupation OF
the Southern States, completes the res
toration of those States to their status in
the Union as far as the Executive is
concerned. If the conduct ofthe South
erners shall justify the expectations OF
the friends of the Presidents policy by
respecting the rights of all classes of the
community, it will materially strengthen
them in demanding their right to repre-
sentation in Congress.

cent Of the acid; it was then dried
and hung up. The surface Of the meat

not removed, though it was masked by
the carbolic acid. In two days time the
bad odor had entirely gone, and was re-
placed by pure but faint smell OF car

existence of an armed rebellion in oppo.
sition to the laws, the suppression of the

Tennessee, who was stopping at the
Sheridan Hotel in Kansas City, on the
night Of the 9th inst, was requested by
boy to accompany him, and close an
agreement for the purchase of mule
which the former had proposed to buy
of him. Mr.. WARD left the house for
that purpose and has not since been
seen. Fears are entertained that. he was
waylaid and murdered for purposes of
robbery. A hat corresponding with the
one which the missing man wore was
afterward found lying in ravine near

THE HuMILIATIONIsTs.

The Conservatives of the North of all
parties, in their address put forth at the
Philadelphia Convention, say;
No people has ever yet existed whose
loyalty and faith such treatment, long
continued. would net ALLEVIATE and i'm
pair. The ten millions of Americans
who live in the South would be unworthy
of citizens of free country, degenerate
sons Of heroic ancestry, unfit even to
become the guardians of the rights and
liberties bequeathed to us by our fathers
and founders Of the Republic, if they
could accept with accomplishing sub
missiveness the humiliation thus sought
TO be imposed upon them.
These are noble words of truth. They
might have been little stronger, but as
they are, they justify every act Of ap-
parent disloyalty charged upon the peo-
pie of the South by the Radicals, and
made pretext by Congress for keeping
the Southern States in a condition of ex-
pulsion from the Union. Humiliation
has been attempted 1t was and is a
cowardly attempt There is not a big
hearted gentleman from Maine to Mex
leo, from ocean TO ocean, engaged in the
disgraceful work. The gentlemen Of the
North are content with the pledged faith
Of the South. 1t is only those who would
not stoop to touch a dying mans lips
with drop Of water-it is only those
who could humilidte a people born to
be free 1t only those who would drain
all Golfers, gather fruits from resources
fertilized by the sweat Of aching broTs,
and wiring fortune from the proceeds Of
mortal agony-it is only those who desire
TO humiliate Accepting an opportunity
10 enrich themselves, and really
enriching themselves, they shudder at
any movement Of an oppressed people
10 throw oG their intolerable burdens
The habit Of oppression to a sordid
mind, becomes a pleasure. Its amuse'
ment consists in giving pain. There Is
no humiliation il would not infici upon
the objects of its deiesiation. Look at

IMPORTANT OPINION

The Attorney General has nearly com
pleted an elaborate opinion in regard to
the authority of the President to appoint
to Office, during the recess of Congress,
persons who have been rejected by the
Senate. The point has been raised to
test the Presidents authority in this res
pect. The Attorney General will show
by an exhaustive argument that both the
law and practice, since the foundation
Of the Government, affirm the. existence
of this prerogative with the Executive
