A Frightful Revelation.
SALT LAKE Orr

''%ii-l LANE olt1. Ia.
An affidavit by one of the least guilty
among the participators in the affair show
ing concluslvely that the terrible Mountain
Meadows massacre was the act of the
Mormon authorities, has been made here.
1t will he remembered that large COM
pany OF emigrants, on the way to Calfor-
MIA, were all killed, with the exception OF
young children. When the massacre was
discovered the Mormons set afloat story
that they had persisted by the Indians, but
from time to time crcumstantial evidence
has appeared indicating that they were
murdered in cold blood by the Mormons,
IN revenge for previous outrages upon the
the latter persons in Illinois and Missouri.
A witness now states under oath that
the Mormon militia attacked the emf
grants, and after y fight of several DAYS
without results, sent in flag of truce
offering them terms. These terms being
complied with, the entire party was butch
cred by the Mormons. The deponent is
Phillip Smith. He testifies he was acting
as recruit in the Mormon militia, and his
Lieutenant Col, Haight, told him that Or
ders from headquarters were to shoot
down all cmigrants, except little children.
and that the commander of the Mormon
force, Maj. John ID. Lee, in an address to
his troops, told them that those were his
orders.
Mr.. Smith heard the order passed down
the Mormon lines, witnessed the entire
massacre, fired one shot himself, though
several volies were fired, and then exert
ed himself to save the little children.

THE NATHAN MURDERER!
Forester is Fully Identified.

NEW York. Sept. IS. It is reported

fully establishes the connection of Billy
Forester with the Nathan murder 1t is
stated that on the night of the murder Of

Laying of Corner Stone Serious Acct
dent.

BANGOR, Sept. IA. The corner stone of
st. Mary's Catholic Church was laid to-
day with appropriate services by Bishop
Bacon of Portland, assisted by the resi-
dent clergy and several from other places.
The ceremonies were very imposing. A
large procession was formed at st. Johns
Catholic Church on York street, and
headed by the Bangor Cornet Band pro-
ceeded to the site of the new church at
the corner of First and Cedar streets.
where the services were held. Ten cars
came from Orono and Oldtown loaded
with persons to attend the exercises.
There were from 5000 to 10000 present.
During the exercises an unfortunate &C
cident occurred by which quite number
of persons were injured, and one suppos-
ed fatally. A portion of the platform
broke down, letting about hundred
through, injuring several and one, Mr.,
John Glynn, so severely that his death is
momentarily expected. His back is said
to be broken and his lower limbs are par
alyzed. A boy is also reported to have
had his leg broken.

Encouraging Look Ahead.

The New York Tribune, in summing up
the results of the election in this state,
takes a very encouraging view Of the
Presidential contest. 1t says
Alter the North Carolina election, which
we fairly carried( The Tribune pointed
the Liberals to their next work, with the
phrase which the Grant journals are re-
Ealing, And now for Maine" We too
are glad to recall the phrase. We hold up
the results III Maine tor inspiration and
assurance. as we next turn with confidence
now well nigh absolute, to Pennsylvania
Ohio. and Indiana. Just consider the
facts
We have gained about four and half
per cent of the entire Republican vote in
Maine. In the great central States. all
politicians know that our gains are sure
to be far greater but count them at only
the same precise percentage. The Penn
syivania election in October, 1868, was
carried Tor the Grant State ticket by 9,G77
majority. a change of five thousand votes
would have defeated lIartrantt. then run
ming for Auditor-General. Five thousand
votes are barely one and-a-half per cent
OF the 33l ,4l6 Republican votes cast at
that time. A change OF less than one per
cent would have defeated Governor Geary
in 1869, his majority being only 4 800. In
other words with less than one-third
the change in Pennsylvania which Mon
days election shows in Name. we shall
sweep the keystone State. Who doubts
that the change will be greater instead of
less ?
The Indiana election in October, 1868.
was carried bv the Republicans by less
th1n 1000 majority for Gov. Baker. A
change of one third Of one per cent would
have wiped ont this majority. In 1870 the
Democrats carried the State by , Dos ma
iority.
In New York the last important cleo
ton carried by the Republicans was in
1866, when Gov. Fenton was elected by
1872 majority over Hoffman. A change
OF less than Two per cent OF the 5G6, 10
east for Fenton would have given the State
to Hoffman.
We do not pursue the examination in
detail. The same percentage will give
Us Alabama, California. and Connecticut,
and these, added to the solid Democratic
column, carry us triumphantly through.
Liberal Republicans get Maine by your
inspiration. She shows that success is with
in your grasp. VIII you permit it to es-

they Were to have the same kind of din

last Tuesday evening, Winship the sole
survivor of the party entered the dining
room OF the Maltbv House. and the doors
were quickly closed behind him. No one
was there save the head and one or two
other walters. The rooms and tables
were arranged precisely as they were
ten years ago, and Winship, with head
bowed and with a saddened expression,
took the same seat which he had occu-
pied. All around We're empty chairs
and empty plates and untitled glasses.
The meal was begun and the solitary ban
queter was served with the prescribed
courses. Winship occasionally passed a

was remark of the venerable and rcver-
end Doctor Leonard Wilmington, that
"some are drunkards because they are
poor; some because they are idle; some
because they are disappointed; some be-
cause they are ignorant; some from an
unhappy nervous system; and all because
they are not Christians.
We shall look with great interest for
reports of the practical workings of this
new movement, and feel confident that
while it will avoid many of the errors and
evils Of the miscalled prohibition system,
it will bear better fruit in the interests of
morality.

A Westerner Running Muck at Waldo

Newspaper managers know that ono of
the most difficult things in the business is
TO procure correspondent who can be
trusted TO write up given matter with
bringing the paper into contempt, and
frequently both combined The Chicago
Tribune recently had an experience Of the
kind, in sending a reporter into Maine,
which more than proves the correctness
OF our remark. The Published letters OF
this suffering scribe shew that he was
called upon to endure great privations.
The railroads are in his estimation poor,
the hotels poorer, and dscomforts every
where abound. At Belfast his long suf-
iering was augmented by the crowd ii a
camp-mccting, that kept him awake at
night We feel the more compassion for
this knight of the pen from the fact that he
came hither to write up the side to which
we adhere politically. Tor the Liberal Re
publican organ Of the far West But we
are nevertheless compelled to say that such
letters do not help the cause in this region,
especially when they contain a personal
attack like the one upon G. B. IIazeltine,
Of this city. OF him this writer says, in
speaking of Pixies chances
He encounters 4 slight Democratic detection
in Waldo County, headed by one lIazPltne, II
noisy, pretentious fellow, who talks Of carrying
with him some fifty votes.
This will amusc those who know Mr.
II. TO be one Of the most quiet and modest
gentleman in the world, with but little of
the politician about him. We regret that
he chose to vote for Hale. but he did it
from personal considerations, while sup
porting the Democratic ticket generally.
So tar from claiming to carry fifty votes,
he assured Us weeks before the election
that he should try to influence no one !;
and was absent from the state for q week
previous to election If the Tribune
should ask our advice which it hasn't yet
done, we should say it would do well TO
retire this correspondent on 4 pension,
and not trust him in fresh fields and pas
lures new, if il has regard for its reputa-
ton.

full, to a ton day each way The pro.
prctors find u great abundance OF the
kinds of labor they desire, and in fact are
overrun with applications. They likewise
compliment the intelligence of those whom
they have employed. Mr.. Critchett says
that in many factories which he has started
he never met with hands so intelligent for
beginners. When to this advantage are
added those of cheap living, a healthful
locality, and abundance of rapid commu-
nication with the west by steamboat and
railroad. it would seem rs though other
shoe manufacturers must be attracted to
our city, and add materially to the bust
ness of the place.
The contract for the occupancy of the
building was made with jenkins Lane &
Son, the well known large shoe dealers
OF Boston. They arranged with Richard
son II Crtchett to furnish the factory with
machinery to procure hands and 10 run it
at fixed price per pair for shoes. the
''o't'ii ~ III iii hlNHlil;, STUN ne same
firms carried on similar arrangement
for seven years at StOneham, Mass. Mr..
Richardson. who is the business and out
door man of the firm, wasa much esteemed
citizen of Stoneham, where he held posi-
tons OF responsibility and trust. Mr..
Crltrhett, who supcrintends the manu-
featuring, understands his business practi.
cally and thoroughly, having been en-
gagged in it many years. During the bus
mess reverses of the early part of the war
he suffered heavy losses. but kept ON. paid
every dollar OF his indebtedness. and is
again prospecting. These gentlemen are
acquisitions to our place. They informed
us that the business is succeeding even
better than they expected, that there is no
longer a doubt Of its entire success. and
expressed the opinion that in a year or
two another factory OF the Kind will be
established here by the same parties, pro-
vidcd it can have the same exemption
from taxes.
The Republican journal., 1872-09-19

The Portland Press, which throughout
the canvass has treated Mr.. kimball with
can,lor and fairness, has the following
We understand on the very best of
authority that G. H. kimball, ESD, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, an
nounces his intention OF retiring absolute
ly from political life and taking no further
interest in party strife from this time on
ward. lie will have the satisfaction of
knowing in his retirement that he has left
on the whole u good and pure record us
u politician and that "it Troy could have
been saved by any arm it might by his"
No Republican paper has to our knowl
edge, undertaken to lisparage Mr.. Kim
balls character during the canvass that is
now happily past
While we have reason to believe it is
true that Mr.. kimball proposes to devote
his time to his large business, and to de-
cline another nomination, we doubt if he
will refrain from voting and acting with
his old party, and taking 4 lively interest
in its welfare. The love of democratic
principles is too thoroughly interviewer in
his nature to permit him to be Indifferent
to their welfare, and we have little doubt
that he will be found in the councils of
his old friends when cool and clear head
is needed, and upon the platform when a
stirring speech is wanted to rally the
forces. The party owes to Mr.. Kimball
debt of gratitude which it will be glad
of an opportunity to repay.
