Mormon Assassins.

The Salt, Salt Lake, Reporter gives the
following, account of Brigham Youngs
band of cut throats: h. :ol g s.s-5 .,r.g
IA I certain number, said to7be twelve,
I of the most desperate characters in the
Church, were selected from among the
Danitcs to commit such assassinatious as
might be fourd necessary by the Prophet
for the ''weltarc" and advancement" of
his holy cause. The murder of Gov
Boggs and many others was planned in
the secret conclave of the Danitcs, and
executed by the chosen "twelve." The
attempt to murder Governor Boggs for
tunately failed, and at least one of the
would-be murderers is now known to
live in Utah Both of these secret socie-
ties now exist in Salt Lake City. The
discipline is more perfect under Brigham
Young than under Joe Smith, and con-
scquehtly the aims more sure, the objects
more certainly accomplished. No sooner
does. n Gcntilc enter Salt Lake City than
he is placed under the surveillance of
the secret police. a member of the
DANTE organization is lcputed to watch
him from the time he comes until he
leaves. His habits. words, and careless
expressions of opinion are noted and
reported, that the Mormon authorities
may determine whether lie is Il friend,
secret enemy, or an open and avowcd
opposer of Mormon iniquity. The day
has been when expression of opinions
inimical to the Mormon leaders would
result in assassination to the bold de-
fender, and sometimes even the mere
suspicion that Geutile was opposed to
the Mormon rule would produce such
result.
The true secret of Brighams great
success i'll controlling the discurdant
elements of which his Church is com
posed is due to fears of the Danitcs The
Murmons know that certain death by
assassination awaits violation of their
oaths, and tlrat although inc day Of Their
doom may be postponed, it is sure to
come with the opportunity. 1t is truc
that many apostatcs have escaped as
sasSination, but this MAS OWN. to the
Tact that they used subtcriugc to place
themselves beyond Bril-. hams pawer;
but even these instances are not wanting
of Danitcs having followed apostatcs into
different cities of the United States,
hoping for Il favorable opportunity to
assassinatc. Others escape, because for
the time it is deemed inexpedient to kill
! them. Recent mysterious deaths of
Gcntiles near Salt Lake City have for
n short tine excited comment, but finally
they have been forgotten. No coroner 5
inquests have investigated facts and
circumstances, and no inquiry has been
made by the authorities into the cause
of their deaths. But such system
cannot be pcrpctuatcd. The Government
must sooner or latter throw her protect
ing banner over her citizens in Utah
and not allow it to be scoffcd ut and spit
on by lewd and lccherous priesthood.

hitherto obtained for transporting tue English
mails to this country. Should tho City OF Paris
beat her rival in this trip there will be no little
commotion IN the lobby OF the House OF Conn

consequence to the mman Line. When the
City Of Paris beat the Cubs about 6 year ago, it
was urged by the Cunard Company that tho
race was not fair test, as the Cuba was the
slowest mail steamer on the one side, while the
City OF Paris was the fastest on the other.
But no such objection can be made now; for
the Russia is considered among the ''crack''
vessels of tho Uunard line. There Is consider
able betting on the result-the odds being
slightly in favor of the City of Paris.-Nelo
