ready received Two slight cuts,
until It seemed that Billy
would succeed in spite Of all his
efforts to prevent unless some.
thing efectual was speedily
done. ThereupOn Josiah struck
him with the maui that he still
retained in his hands. The
blow felled Billy to the l,or,
and in a sitting posture against
the side. OF the house.
1t being quite dark in the
house Josiah could not see the
effect CT the blow, but feeling
the head of his brother, he
found:that the scull was bro
ken. Realizing that he had
killed his brother, his first
thought was to escape. He
went up stairs to his trunk
where he kept his clothes and
took out several shirts, and
laid them on the floor. While
doing this the thought occur
red to him that be would be
caught and hanged. He then
determined to go to Hamden
and tell the whole story just
asit was. Accordingly he start
ed and went some two hundred
yards in that direction, but the
thought again occurred 10 him
that he would not be believed
and would be hanged.
Then the story OF the three
robbers suggested itself, hav-
ing seen three strangers pass
down the railroad in the eve
ming. He put this story into
shape, swore to it before the
Coroner's jury, asserted it to
his Attorneys, and persistently
adhered to it until after he ar
rived at the penltentiary. The
Chaplain took down these
statements substantially as
herein set forth, and sent
them to the writer. After
wards, perhaps during the same
month OF August, the writer
had an interview with Josiah
at the penitentiary, when he
the same subs tantial-
ly to him.
In reply to the question why
be did not tell the facts to his
lawyers before the trial, when
hey urged HIM SO strongly TO
10 SO, he said, 4 hope and pray
'ou may never pass through /
uch trials; but If you do You |
iill rot know what you will d.
r say. The whole time yof

ook place until l got here

ike a dream. l rsgre t the tell

hood about the robbers. I did |

'eply 10 the question about
he woman that figured at the
trlal he said, that there was not
one word Of truth in what she
said about their marriage. He
had never talked with her but
very little, and then only at
her request. One day while
he was passing the Hamden
House she called him into the
parlor, and told him she had
understood that he had a hard
time in keeping house, having
10 take care OF his father and
'6tLy" brother and that she had
no home, and if he would take
her and her Two. children and
AXE care of them she would
help take care of his father and
brother. This he declined,
which seemed 10 exasperate
her at the time. He was not
the first man and will not be
the last, who has been made to
feel that,
He'll hath no fury like woman scorned."
After he had made these
statements he became content
ed, his mind at rest, regaining

THE MORMON REVOLUTION.
Appeal for the Release Of Brigham Young and
the Other Mormons Indicted for Murder
The Church Ruling with High Hand.

SALT LAKE CITY, April 49, 1872.
The attorneys Of the Mormon prisoners have all
applied Informally to Judges Strickland and Hawley
for wrts of habeas corpus to place their clients
at liberty. They have exposed, their authority,
dispatches from Bates, cx-United States At
torney, who appears to show extraordinary
zeal for his Mormon clients. The Judges say
when the properly authenticated papers are ex-
hibited from the United States Supreme Court
they will be ready to hear motion.
Hempsted, another ex-United States Attorney,
now counsel to Brigham Young, is inclined to
display an indecorous haste and on the suggestion
Of Bates will bring his case mp tomorrow.
No jail delivery will occur until the receipt OF
the authenticated document from the Supreme
Court; then probably all the criminals will be given
their liberty.
Territorial Marshal McAllister has already de-
handed from United States Marshal Patrick all the
papers connected with his official position. Patrick
declines to deliver them for the present.
without Congressional aid the future or the Ter
ritory will probably be involved in civil revolution
and bloodshed. The Mormon Church laws now con-
troll everything under the recent decision.
There Is great excitement over the connection
with Illinois ownership by priority location, and
there will be legal difficulties without end.

OTTAWA, Ont, April Is, 1872.
The fishery correspondence to be laid before Par
lament to-day will disclose that the Dominion gov
ernment notified the Imperial government that
Canada would not assent to any sale OF
the fisheries without her consent, and that
Great Britain replied that her Maesty's
government never had any such intention;
that the negotiations for the Treaty OF Washing
ton proceeded the Canadian government urged the
including of the Fenan claims, and also the obtain
ing Of commercial trade advantages in return for
cans. on these views not being included In the
Treaty the Canadian government strongly remon-
strated and after the Treaty was con-
cluded the British government appealed to
the Canadian government to carry out the
treaty In the interest Of the empire, and TO allow
Canadian government declined to grant this latter
proposition, and placed on record their dIspr0val
OF the terms OF the treaty as regarded the nsheres
and Fcnian claims.
The British government reoined, and eventually
the Canadian government proposed That, IN lieu OF
meet the anxious desire of the British government,
they would be ready to submit the treaty i0r the
favorable consideration OF the Canadian Parla-
ment provided the British government would
guarantee q Canadian loan OF four millions
Sterling to be applied to the construc-
way. and the extension OF the canal
system. The British government replied offering
TO guarantee two millions and half and the Cana
dian government accepted the counter proposal In
view of the vast Imperial and Canadian interest In
volved and in view of the Importance OF the associ
government In the construction OF the Pacific Rail
road and Canal.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF sALTnLo.
TEleGHAmS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

The HERALD correspondent in Matam.,ros
has forwarded us the following special
despatch:-
MATAMonos, Mexico April 10, y
Wa BROWNSVILLE, Texas, April il, 1879 J
Present appearances point to the conclusion
that no attack will be nude by the revolution
lists on this city. There are now plenty of mon
here to- cnrry on the defence successfully.
General Trevino, the revolutionary COM
mander, has failed to obtain the anticipated
war material for the siege Of Matamoros. He
has neither food nor forage. His horses aro
starving, and it is generally believed that he is
compelled to abandon the attempt of capturing
this city.
PALACIos TO ASSUME THE OFFENSIVE.
General Palacios the government COM
mander Of Matamoros, has promised that he
will assume the offensive against Trevino'S
forces. He has ordered his troops to be
ready to move at a moments warning, and
will start in pursuit of the revolutionists after
the arrival Of General Cevallos with govern
ment reinforcements from Vera Cruz. Ceval-
los is hourly expected here, and will, if Gem
eral Palacios himself should take the field,
occupy and defend Matamoros.
Mail advices from Victoria up to the 10Th
inst. confirm the rout Of the revolutionistss
under Narvaez by the troops Of General;
Zapada, Governor of the State Of Cohahuila.
The former were scattered and are now between
lula and Malahuala committing depredations.
Reported Occupation of SaltillO by tho
Juarists-NIonterey Threatened by .
Government Force-A Battle Imminent.
MATAMoRos, April IS, 1872.
rumor prevails that the revolutionists received
q courier last night from Camargo confirming tho
report that Salto was occupied by the govern
ment forces, under General Zapada, Governor Of
he threatens Monterey.
The revoutonists evacuated NuevO Laredo on
the 18th anu proceeded towards the INTERIOR 1t IL
supposed to reinforce Monterey This leaves the
ports Of Guerro and Nuevo Laredo, on the Rio
Grande, in possession Of the government.
An effort will be made by General Ayaa to march
out of this city with 800 National Guard, join Cor
as command, 600 strong and give battle to Tre-
vino and Quiroga's forces Reynosa, occupy
Camargo and force them back from the frontier to
deprive them OF the means Of obtaining supplies
across the Rio Grande which they now possess.

PHILADELPHIA, April is, 1872.
The following call has been issued by the liberal
republicans
To THE REPUBLICANS OF PENNSYLVANIA
Convention Of Liberal Republicans, to be held in
Cincinnati, and cordially invite our repub
lican brethren Of PENNSYLVANIA who believe
that party should have nobler destiny
than mere subordination to personal pur-
poses to join in the deliberations Of that body,
accepting the proposed Convention as entirely OF
and within the republican party and as designed to
promote the success OF republican measures liberal
lied in accord with the necessities OF the nation,
we deem 1t our duty to meet our brethren from all
other States who are struggling for the manhood
of republican citizens and for the honored pros
time has come for
EQUAL LAWS EQUAL PROTECTION
and equal privileges to be accorded to all the people
That all taxes imposed should be with a view to
revenue and so adjusted as to protect the indus
special legislation in the interest Of capital against
labor should be reprobated; tnat military
rule in time OF peace and military interference
with popular elections are in conflict with the
whole spirit and genius OF our free institutions
that local self government should be reasserted
with all the majesty OF the sovereign people against
the encroachments OF federal power, and that the
civil service reform Is imperatlvely demanded to
protect the freedom OF political action from the now
common controlling influence OF official patronage.
Believing these views are shared by large ma
jority of the republicans of the country, we will
cordially unite with all advisory movements within
the organization looking to the advancement OF the
republican standard 10 meet IHe uemanuS OF
patriotism and peace, and we confidently hope that
the whole people, regardless OF party ahlnites, are
prepared to join In the common effort to secure an
administration OF government that Will make
fraternity, liberty and law the cherished faith Of
all classes in all sections OF our regenerated
