The MOFmons,
Ahc 4'hoT Itohfs
fErnn tho Wasbinotan Sfar


Late events in Utah demonstrate that affairs are
rapidly approaching a crisis there, and it will no
doubt be necessary for the Government TO interpose
strong hand for the maintenance of law and order.
Numbers of Gentiles, as the MOrmons style all
who do not adopt their faith, have recently settled
in Utah. and the rupture between the parties daily
widening. few weeks since Mr.. S. N. Brassfeld,
one of these Gentiles residing at Salt Lake City,
was married to a lady there, claimed as the WIFE
in pOlygamy-of a Mormon now absent on ms
sion. Charges of resisting the police on the nlght
of his marriage were instituted against him, and
his wedding night was passed in one OF the cells
of the city prison. The lady fearing that ei-
forts would be made to take her children
from her, caused a writ of hGbeGs corpus
to be issued from the United States Court in order to
ascertain whether she was entitled TO the custody OF
them or not Brassfeld, who is said to have been a
good peaceable citizen, was returning from the
courtroom where the case was being tried, on Mon
day, April ,, and when within few steps oil the
hotel where he resided and in company with the
United States Marshal, was shot in the back, and
within one hour from the time he left the court
house he was a dead man. The Utah Tidefte, pub
lished in Salt Lake City, says 1t was the publicly
expressed opinion of certain Mormons in that city
that Brassiield was Justly punished by death, and
that the balance of the Gentiles would be
served in the same way if they were not care
full, and adds: - 1t would be useless to deny the
fact that in the opinion of the Gentle commu-
nifty of this city, the killing of Brassfield was
deliberately planned scheme, concocted and advised
by men high in authority in the Mormon Church."
A later number says; % The feeling is universal
among the Gentiles of this city that there is pro-
lection in Mormon courts and no security from Nor.
mon assassns and in the article it is asserted
that both Brigham Young and Heber G. Kimball
living with women taken from their lawful Nor
nom husbands without the consent of said hus-
bands. The MOmons, it seems, are counting large
ly on the mastering out of the United States troops
to restore their old immunity, and the Gentiles seem
determined to resist them TO the DEATH Iawlessness
and dsorganization will ensue, We fear, unless the
Government undertakes the task of "IecOnstruc-
ton" seemingly necessary in that remote section
as in places nearer home.

The Committee of Fifteen.

Under our Geographic head will be found a
forthcoming report from the Committee Of Fit
teen. It proposes to amend the Constitution
by deducting from the basis Of representation
all males above twenty-One years of age who
may he denied by any State the privilege OF
voting-by excluding from the right to vote for
representatives in Congress and Presidential
electors, until the 4th Of July 1870, all per
sons who voluntarily adhered1o the Conteder
acy-by prohibiting forever the payment by
any State or the United States ofdebtS incurred
ON the Confederate side in the prosecution OF
the war-and by giving Congress power &"
pass all laws necessary to carry these proyiS-
ions into effect. The ratification OF these
amendments by the constitutional number OF
States will entitle the States ratiiying to rep
reSentatiOn in Congress, upon modifying their
Constitutions and laws into conformity there
with. The plan would not have been complete
without the tender of a bride, which is fur
nished in proposal to indulge the ratifyine
States in the matter OF the direct tax.
A bill, which forms part of the report, pro
scribes certain enumerated citizens from the
privilege Of ever holding office under the Fede
raj Government.
We have not space at the hour dt which we
write for the discussion Of this report. 1t is
enough to say that it is brought forward with
out the slightest expectation on the part OF its
authors that it will be accepted by States
enough to make it part OF the Constitution.
The failure Of ten States to ratify, would de
feat it.. There are certainly fifteen whose as
sent could never be obtained. The real pur-
pose of the committee is delay-that was the
prime object for which the committee was
raised. They desire to keep Southern Repre-
sentatives out of Congress as long as possible,
and especially to keep the South from voting
in the next Presidential election. All their
projects look to these ends. They expect to
accomplish them not by amending the Consti-
tuition, but by discussion, prOcrastination and
fnesse 1t is impossible for us to say whether
they will succeed or not.

Evidence Wanted.

A correspondent Of the leading Radical or
gan, The Independent, refers to a statement in
that paper to the effect that " in the ratitica-
ton of the Federal Constitution in 1888,
black men voted in every State in the Union
save South Carolina" and asks it to publish
the facts and documentary evidence in order
to silence "the COpperheads" who deny it,
The Independent very discreetly declines the
task, alleging that it cannot spare the space
and adds: We can only repeat what We oe-
fore stated, that black men voted, OF might
" have voted, for there were no CONSTITUTIONAL
% enactments to prohibit them, for the ratitca-
90 ton of the Federal Constitution in l7SS in
a." every State except South Carolina. In Mary
" land and Virginia, the right of suffrage asnot
restricted by the Constitution, but was regu-
" lated by statutes. In all the other States
"a the right of suffrage was enjoyed by all free
" citizens without respect to color. The con-
L" stitutional disqualification of color in respect
" to suffrage, is recent innovation, borrowed
" from South Carolina"
Was more dishonesty and falsehOOd ever
compressed into so small compass Yet
such are the means employed by the Radical
leaders to bolster up their cause. 1t is some
what surprising that The Independent shoald
decline to publish the documentary evidence
asked for. 1t is not often that documents are
wanting when that party wishes to establish
any fact. They have machinery for the manu-
faeture of evidence, rs they have for the
manufacture of paper collars. The evidence
mandatory is at Washington, and it gives
employment to more Operatives" than the
New England manufactures. 1t is the " Re-
construction Committee" If The Independent
will lust call upon the Chairman for the evil
dence he wants, it will be promptly furnished,
and in anv quantity desired. In less than one
week a wagon load of afidavits will be FUR
nished that will demonstrate incontestibly that
until Mr.. JOHNSON became President negroes
have voted in every State of the Union. 1t
can be proved that WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON,
MADISON, MONROE, and all g the fathers" were
native Africans. 1t can be further established,
if necessary, that the Southern whites have
ALWAYS been excluded from suffrage, and that
until ANDREW JOHNSON became President, 1t
never entered the head of any man to clam
that franchise for them. Documents! Evi-
dencel They grow in Washington as fruits
grow in the tropics. They are kept boxed up
like oranges, ready to be sent to order, ana
transportation is free.

NEW NATIONAL CEMETERY.
A Husband Murdered by his Wife's Paramour.
TSnecioI Desnatch to Pittsbure Commercially


CooKsTowN Pa, April 25.-Mrs. Mary Housman,
under arrest for the murder of her husband, has
confessed the following She says Housman and her
were quarreng when Thairwell came into the
house. At the sight of Thairwel Housman became
greatly eXasperated, and attempted to shoot him.
Thairwell returned the shot killing HOusman. THAR
well and herself then put rope around the neck OF
the murdered man. and took the body to the river,
and anchored it in the water. They then burned
deceaseds clothes, and threw his boots down an
outbuilding.
The Bellevernon correspondent of the Mononga-
hela Republican, in giving an account of the find
ing of the deceased, says:
Housemans boots were found in the cesspOOl in
his own lot although his wife stated, on previous
examination that he went away with them on In
n new bed, sewed up, was found bloody pillow
cases and an old bed tick. An unknown man, about
the time of the disappearance of the deceased called
bag, with the remark TO keep it until called for That
carpet bag has been opened and found to contain
bloody sheets partly washed. The wife, it seems, ON
the morning of the 81 instant, did a large washing
before breakfast All the circumstances of this foul
and inhuman murder point to the wife and her para
mour as the perpetrators of the crime. They now in
the custody of the proper officers. This man Thalrwe
boarded in the family for time, and it was pro
verbal that the wife and this man were leading q
course of life not very respectable; and by their con
duct were annoying the good people of the town. The
wife was not much cut down ut the sight of the de-
ceased husband, and after her examination as wit
ness she went to the wagon with smile on hel
face and seemed in hurry to get home. Her whole
conduct has been strange, and the community are
excited and feel confident that she is guilty of the
great crime"

violent Tornado.

The most violent tornado ever known in that re-
gion passed over portion of Rockingham county,
near Harrisonburg last Monday. The Register
says:
Fencing Immediately on its track was swept like
chaf before the whiTlwind, whilst barns, sheds,
houses, orchards, etc. etc., were treated as if
they were straws driven by the current. The first
indication Of its passage we have heard of may be
seen on Mr.. Lowenbach's farm, about four miles
from town. and the last evidence of the ierceness OF
its anger near Kratzers Spring five miles below Us.
The first extensive damage done that we heard OF
was at Mr.. John BOwman's, one and q half miles
above town, where his barn was blown down. II
seems to have spent its fury at one two places on
the line Of its march. At our friend Alexander
Bowman's residence, half a mile west of ms, it was
exceedingly fierce and destructive. 1t unroofed his
barn, scattering the heavy timbers like strlwS in the
road. +. G. Way and his son Harry, who had Ia
ken shelter in the barn. blown out several feet,
and, strange TO say, neither of them was killed.
The fencing around the upper side of Mr.. Bow
mans house was entirely Frustrated, his corn and
carriage house turned round and partially capsiZed,
his smoke house turned bottom upward, and large
apple tree in the yard wrenehed from its place in the
earth rs if it had been pipe-stem. His wagon was
broken to pieces by the storm, not spoke being left
in one of the wheels The wreck of natter at
Mr. BIS made one wonder how his family escaped
instant destruction.
At Etna it seems the storm.king felt at liberty to
empty the walls of his wrath. Some half dozen
buildings were here unroOfed, and after the storm
was over, the gentlemen who had the misfortune to
reside in Etna TO be seen in the fields hard by,
picking up their bacon, blown from their smoke
houses! In this immediate locality Joseph Wen.
gers blacksmith shop and barn were blown down,
his fine young orchard torn up by the roots, and the
roof of his dwelling house turned round; the roof
blown from the house formerly occupied by old Mr..
Beeling; the blacksmths shop at KratZers Spring
blown down; and the roof blown from the stone
barn at Kratzer's Spring. Beyond this point we
have no record to make of the mad dance OF the
winds, as we have heard nothing of material injury
TO any other locality.
The hurricane was accompanied with rain and
hail. of the haistones being of very large size
although we have heard Of no damage having been
done by the hail.
