SAT- Lake CITY, Oct. 29--Elder George
@. Cannon arrived here this morniug from
San Francisco, and preached this afternoon,
in the large tabernacle, to an audience
numbering at least ten thousand. lie
councellcd his hearers to abstain from any
act of violence and submit to the law.
God, he said, would protect them and de-
liver them from their prosecutors, and the
crusade against them would only strengthen
and gloriiy them in the end. Their Church
could not be overturned. Their faith was
the inspiration of tho Divine Spirit and
would endure forever.
Elder Pratt was not so conservative.
He did not want any whining judge to say
to him, as he did to Hawkins, 81 am sorry
for you." lie wanted no sympathy from
any Federal official. He was ready to go
to Jail for twenty years, but did not want
any pity from such source. He pre-
dicted that God would totally overthrow
and annihilate the prosecutors of the Nor
mon people.
Nothing further has been heard from
Orson Hyde, the apostle.
The prisoners are quartercd comfortably.

writer, signing himself A Conservative, /"
containing statements in relation to one of
the Democratic candidates for the Senate,
seriously affecting his integrity.
While we arc anxious to see Democracy
defeated by all fair means, we must decline
the publication of such personal attacks.
Neither can we give publicity to statements
made by other than responsible parties.
If "a Conservative wishes us to pub

REPUBLICAN MEETING AT MIDLO-
THIAN--The Speakers and their Speeches.
The Republicans of Midlothian township,
together with a large number of Conserva-
tives, met in the African church on Satur-
day night. The usual offer of Republicans
to give an opportunity to Conservatives to
speak, was made and was accepted by
Captain Clopton, Conservative candidate.
After the usual election of chairman and
secretary, MAJOR W. f. Worthington adj
happy manner. One by one the crimes of
the Democratic party were brought out by
the major, until it seemed as though it was
buried too deep ever to be rcsurected.
Captain Clopton then attempted to an
swcr the argument of Major Worthington
and lamentably failed. His speech was a
long list of charges against the Republican
party every one of which was proven to
be false by the succeeding speakers. Mr..
Clopton's speech fell like wet blank ct
upon the audience, and was received in ST.
lence.
Hon. L. G. Bowden was then called forth
by the audience and made one of the most
brilliant speeches we have ever heard.
Mr.. Bowdcn was followed by II. II.
Wells, Jr., who opened his argument by
holding up in ludicrous light, the argu-
ments of Mr.. Clopton.
The peculiarities of the notorious carpet
bagger G. G. Walker, were displayed, and
a strong appeal made to the white working
men, to support the workingmen's party,
the great Republican party.
Geo. Nj. Arnold, Esq, followed Mr..
Wells, and called upon the colored men OF
the township to stand up for their princi-
pies. In short but earnest speech, the
true position of the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties, were shown by Mr.. Arnold.
Landon Boyd, Esq, closed the meeting
with good, ringing, Republican argument,
eloquent and rcplcte with truth.
The meeting was closed with three cheers
and tiger for the Republican party and its
candidates. We noticed many an honest

ATTRACTING IMMIGRANTS AND
CApITAL.-The transactions connected
with a sale of real estate in Manchester on
Saturday, as reported to us, are not very
well calculated to make favorable impress
sion upon those who are disposed to seek
homes and investments in Virginia, and d-
rectly rcfutc the professions of Democracy,
that they are willing TO welcome ncw-coln-
crs, no matter whence they come, or what
their politics.
About three months ago, an intelligent
Scotchman, named Robert Beattic, came
to Manchester from Pennsylvania. lie
invested some six or seven thousand dollars
i'll property in our sister city. He wanted
to make still further investments, and
to this end watched for any sales of real
estate that might be announced in the
papers. One was advertised to come off in
Manchester on Saturday, and Mr.. Bcattie
wishing to buy the property, and having
the money with which to do it, was present
at the appointed time.
There were other bidders present, of
course. 1t seems to have been understood
that Mr.. Beattic wished to pdrchase the
property, and he was approached by aper-
son who confidentially proposed to with
draw as a bidder if Mr.. b. would pay him
a bonus of $50. Mr.. Beattic declined to
acccde to the proposition, and the gentle
man walked Off, soon to return, however,
and lowered his price to $50. Mr.. Beattie,
still declining to buy off bis competitors,
was cursed and abused at a sound iate as u
carpet t-bagger, Yankee, &C., &C., and in
formed that he (h's dismteresied companion)
was able to buy more property than there
was in Manchester, and that he intended to
buy the piece then about being offered for
sale. Mr.. Bcattie being perfectly willing
that the "longest pole should knock the
persimmons,o was contcnted to let the sale
take its course and when he had hidden
as much as he thought he was justified in
paying, he declined to bid further, and the
property was knocked off to the gentleman
with sufficient means to buy, &c.
But what was the sequel? The success
full bidder proved to bea poor success when
paying time came around. Indeed, he was
utterly unable to meet his obligations, and
the sale had to go by default. We are in
formed that Mr.. Beattie now seriously
thinks Of disposing of what he already owns
in Manchester and quitting Virginia for
good. We don't know his politics.

a SAD CASE.-Mr. and Mrs. Mclaren,
an aged colored couple, have long been en-
ployed by the School Board as jantors in
the school building. They are well-known
and trusted by the School Board, as thor
oughly competent, reliable and temperate
old people. Mr.. McLaren has charge ofthe
school house at Navy Hill, while his wife
has carefully and satisfactorily attended to
the building on Brook avenue.
A member of the school board informs
us that on Friday last, while engaged in
sweeping the floors of the school-house un-
der her charge, Mrs. McLaren was sudden
ly seized with a congestiye chill, and fell
to the floor, from which she was utterly
unable to rise. She with difficulty at
tracted the attention Of some small chill
dren, whom she requested TO summon as
sistance for her. The children, it seems,
notified the police, probably because it was
find any ono else. When the police
men saw the old lady lying upon the
floor, they assumed that she was intoxica-
ted, and taking her by the arms, dragged
her to the station-house, she meantime pro-
testing that she was not drunk, but i'll.
Our informant states that Mrs. Mclarcn
now lies in critical condition, and in addi-
ton to her sullerings from the disease with
which she was attacked, is laboring under
severe bodily injuries inflicted by the Off
GERS while taking her in her sick and help

McLaren is about sixty years of age.

who are here in attendance upon our Far,
enter the dining-hall, hand in hand. AS
they passed down the long ball there was a

sitting around the other tables, all of whom
pronounced the pair from the country" p
Now this is wrong; country folks should
not act so when they come to the city, but
the lady should take the gentlelnan's arm.
We know how it is, being from the rural
district, but we don't like to see our friends
playing ''grecn." Don't do so tny more.

THE COTTON CLAIMS AGAINST THEGov-
ERNMENT. - STARTLING DEVELOP
MENTs TO THE AMOUNT OF
S30,00O,000 BEING BROUGHT 10
q LIGHT, ETC, ETC.
Washington, Oct. 2S.--A special to the
New York Tribune says: "Ihc nvestiga-
by the United States Court of claims into
the various claims against the United States
for cotton seized by Government officers
during the rebellion brings out some re-
markable developments, which tend to
throw additional light on the mystery sur
rounding the sale of cotton by the Govern
ment agent shortly after it was seized from
the rebels during the war.
" The Government realized from the sale
of the cotton about S30, 900, 900, but the ex-
aminations of the. Government agents
books, and other evidence which has been
obtained through the prosecution of these
claims, reveals the fact that the cotton was
worth over twice that amount.
r" 1t appears that some Of the agents at
New York disposed of the cotton at 80
cents per pound, when its market value at
the time of the sale was Is cents per
pound. Some of the agents appear to have
been in colluson with the purchasers. and
the poorest kinds of cotton were shown as
samples of the entire lot held by the gov
ernment; the bidders getting it BY this ar
rangcment at the low figure of twenty-nine
cents per pound, and subsequently selling
it at the market price, thereby securing
handsome profit.
90 The claimants, however, refuse to base
their claims at figure hess than its market
value at the time of the sale, and it is
feared that the government, in refnndng
the money for these cotton seizures, will be
considerable loser, especially now that
the British claimants stand chance before
the mixed commission of being allowed
some compensation for these losses.
" 1t is now known at the treasury that
several of these cotton agents defrauded
the government out of large amounts of
money. The accounts show this, but
