We learn. from Major j. H. Smith, that
Captain Patterson, of the Fourth United

while crossing the plains between Forts Fet

Captain Patterson was accompanied by an
escort OF one sergeant and ten men OF the
Fourth, mounted. On the second day out
from Fort Fetterman, they were attacked
by band of redskins, numbering one hun
dred and fifty. A running fight was kept
up by the parties for several hours, resulting
in the death of one soldier, an old reliable
veteran, and several Indians, The Captain
came into Laramie on Wednesday morning,
bringing with him the body of the slain
soldier, s. ..-...,.-.s,.. -.

The Postponement of the EcumenicaI
~ Council. l' M EH. f

p BY cable telegram we learn that the Coun-
Gil which met at Rome on the 9th of this
month has adjourned until after Epiphany,
or until after the 5th day OF January. It
is added that much opposition is expected
when the Council resumes its sittings. This
opposition is no longer mere rumor; it
is fact. France has taken decided ground:
and the example Of France is approved anil
adopted by all the Catholic governments.
The French government has notified the.
Council that the declaration of the infaIli-
bility of the Pope is religiously inoppor-
tune, and that politically it nullifies the
Concordat and releases France from her
obligations to the Holy See. This is a
heavy blow. This, however, is not all The
majority of the French Bishops are opposed
To the iptallibility dogma So, it is certain,
are all the liberal bishops of Germany. We
do not wonder'that it has been found
necessary to adjourn the Council The
Pope, it is said, is somewhat alarmed; but
he counts with confidence on the support
of the American bishops. When we rernlem.
! ber that the Council of Trent sat at irregu-
lar intervals from 1915 to 1868, a period of
eighteen years, and during which the chair
of St. Peter had five successive occupants

BRIGHAM Younr has a summo

Brigham Young has summary way of
paying debts. Some of the stockholders Of
the Cooperative Association, of Salt Lake
City, having received no benefits from their
investment, demanded a dividend, aud at
last, to appease them, dividend of twelve
per cent. was declared. No money was
Forthcoming, however, as Brigham stated
that the amounts due the stockholders would
be credited to their account on the books of
the association. This. of course, was very
far from satisfactory, and ominous. threats
were uttered by many of the stockholders,
whereupon Brigham waxed wrpth and de-
clared that any shareholder desiring the i'm
mediate payment of the dividend must be
looked upon as having lost the spirit of the
Lord and as on the verge of apostacy ITSELF
The result has been that many of the stock
holders have left the church, or that wing
of it controlled by iBrighann and leagued
themselves with his enemies. ., .sf.,., y

A Diabol1cal Outrage-A Mans Brains
Stamped out in Hamburg-Lynch
rUf Toxu ,iua .

We take the following account of hor-
rible tragedy, which occurred at Hamburg,
Iowa, on the St. Joseph and Council Bluffs
Railroad, on Saturday, from the St Joseph
Union, of December IA:
1t seems that farmer residing in the vi
cinity, name unknown, came to town to sell
lot of hogs. -Four men approached him
and made offers, and after time bargain
was struck The farmer demanded por-
tion of the purchase price to close the trade,
and the purchasers refused to ac ,eed to his
demand, whereupon a quarrel arose. All
four of the men attacked the farmer; knock
ed MIN down and beat him numerically,
and one of them, not satisfied with the bru-
/ tality thus far shown, deliberately stamped
the helpless victims brains out with heavy
boot. Hia. 7i"r 3".i-1 'f
The Williams were Immediately arrested
and confined in Jail, but the widest excite
ment ensued among the citizens, and for
time it seemed impossible to prevent them
overpowering the officers, dashing down the
doors of the Jail, and tearing the miscreants
in pieces. The excitement was eventually
allayed, and the town was quiet during the
night
On Sunday morning a brother Of the mur-
dered man, who resides near Sidney, ar
rived in Hamburg, accompanied by a large
number of exasperated men, when the scenes
of the previous evening were repeated, only
with redoubed violence. At one time the
officials despaircd of preventing them ac-
complishing their sanguin object, but at
length, through the instrumentality of
number of leading citizens, they were per-
suaded to desist. ''' ga s..7i' rr5
The wretch who actually killed the farm
er is named Dempster. He resided in Ham
burg, and was formerly an engineer on the
St. Joseph and Council Bluffs railroad. In
the eyes Of the law, however, he is not more
guilty of the crime than his confederates,
all OF whom, according to our intormant's
statement, aided and abetted to him.
