lea for their noble devotion to the cause OF
freedom their admission to wider fields Of
usefulness is received with satisfaction, and
the honest demands, of any class of citizens
for additional rights should be treated with
respectful consideration.
10. We heartily approve OF the action OF
Congress in extending amnesty to those
lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the
growth Of peace and fraternal feeling
throughout the land.
16. The Republican party propose to re-
.frct the rights reserved by the people TO
themselves as carefully as the powers dele
gated by them to the State and to the Feder-
al Government. 1t disapproves of the re-
sort to unconstitutional laws for the purpose
Of removing evils by interference with the
rights not surrendered by the people to
either the State or National Government.
II. Iii the duty Of the General Govern
ment to adopt such measures IS will tend to
encourage American commerce and ship
building.
1S. We believe that the modest patriot
ism. the earnest purpose, sound judgment,
practical wisdom, incorruptible integrity
and illustrious services Of Ulysses $.
Grant have commended him to the hearts OF
the American people, and, with him at our
head, We start to-day on new march to
victory

Not Handsome of Mr.. Adams.

MIR. john Quincy Adams Jr.. is the
las: man in the country who should have
allowed himself to be drawn into the
Straight-out swiu1le. AS far back as
November 18th. 1871 he wrote letter
to A. Warren Kelsey, ESQ.,, fully COM
hitting himself to the Liberal movement.
In that letter he said distinctly that he
thought it would be 3.'wise and patriotic"
on the part of the Democracy to abstain
from making any Denomination for the
next Presidency. provided "they are as
sured the Liberal Republicans will go
forward and nominate candidate in
Opposition to the present incumbent :"
This was the proposition put forward by
the Missouri Republican, Il should be
glad (sail Mr.. ,Adams) to see the Dem
ocracy concur in such a resolution !"
Yet with the prospect of a Vice Pres
idential nomination before him, Nc.
Adams backed down from his position af-
ter the Dem ecracy had done the very thing
he was anxious for them to do. Perhaps

Presidential nomination at Cinei natl had

Of the Interior Is also absent and, the
chief clerk of the same department, who
is the son Of Secretary Delano, has fol-
loved the example of the secretary and
assistant secretary, and departed for parts
unknown. Itcannot be- expected that
when the responsible heads Of depart,
.ments lect their business the suoordi-
nate officials should manifest any special
zeal in the performance Of their duties.
Papers involving important Interests have
lain week after week on the desks Of
mem bers of the cabinet awaiting their
signaiures. and mere routine work is re-
tarted unless It's progress is accelerated
by pecuniary inducements from persons
who may be interested in seeing it car
ried forward. 1t is notorious that no
large claim, however, just, can pass
through the departments without paying
toll, natural result of the absenca of
supervisors by responsible officers. No
such condition of affairs ever existed in

A Washington despatch says that the
news of the amount of the award by the
board OF arbitrator at Geneva has failed
to excite the slightest enthusiasm among
the cRiicials at the Capital. The sum, it
appears, is actually short of what the
English members conceded might be due
under q declaration of lord Russell. And
as to the new principle of international
law" it is said, on high authority, that
seven years ago Earl Russell would have
been glad to have cancelled all legiti-
mate claims against England for more
than the amount of the present award if
he could have gained what has now been
accomplished for sum less in dollars,
bu. richer in principle to Great Britain.
The London journals of yesterday were
greatly disposed to rejoice over the con-
ciusion- of the controversy, aud expressed
the hope that foundation had been laid
for permanent good understanding be-
tween the two nations. snow that necess-
airy reparation has been made to Ameri-
ca" The STANDARD alone is trihe
dissatisfied, and thinks the tribunal
should have awarded damages only for
the depredatons of the Alabama.

whether those who perpetrated these
frauds, directly and indirectly, did it SO

The Mountain Meadow nj assacre and
the EIorMcns.

SALT LAKE Cry, Sept. 13.-An aft
dayit has been made BY one of the least
guilty among the participators in the
Mountain Meadow massacre, showing
couclusively that the terrible slaughter
was the work Of the Mormon authorities.
II viii be remembered that a large COM
pany of Immigrants on their way to Cal
ifernia, are known to have been all killed
with the exception of the young children.
W hen their massacre was discovered the
Moemons set aaoat the story that they
had persisted by the hands of the Indians,
but from time to time circumstancial ev-
idence has appeared indicating that they
we're murdered IN cold blood by the
.Mermons. in revenge for previous outra-
ges upon the latter, perpeirated in Hi
nois aud Missouri.
A competent witness states under oath
that the Mormon militia attacked the EN-.
igranss, and after fgh. of several days
without result, sent in flag OF truce
Offering .hcnl protection if they would
lay down their arms. These terms being
complied with, the entire party Of men
aud women were butcherod by their cap
tors.
The deponent is Philip Clngon Smith,
who was at the time Mormon bishop OF
Cedar City He was recruit in the
Mormon militia, and was told by Lieut..
Col. Haight thas he (Haight) mad orders
from headquarters to kill all the emigran,s.
He heard the orders pass down the Nor
mon line to shoot the enigrant prisoners,
and witnessed the entire massacre. He
had charge of the children, the only
members Of the party saved. The shoot
ing force was under command Of Major
John D. Lee, who made speech to his
nel shortly before the massacre, stating
that his orders from headquarters were
to kill the entire company of engrants
except the small children.

IMPORTANT TO BUILDERS. A suit

IMPORTANT TO BUILDERS A suit OF
great Importance to builders has been
decided in the New Common Pleas. A
brick mason agreed to build house and
charge SLY dollars per thousand for laying
the brick. When be came to measure
the brick he measured all the openings,
windows, doors, etc., as solid work
making his bill 81, 900 larger than il
would have been had he only measured
ihe solid wall. The man for whom the
work was done refused to pay this So
600, and the mason brought suit to force
the payment, pleading the castom OF
brick nasons in his favor. The court
decided that he had no legal right to
charge for laying brick that we're never
laid. This decision is important to
builders and contractors, as other State
Courts would be likely to follow the
decision and precedent set by the New
York Court.
