MORMON DIFFICULTIES.
Popular Sovereignty.

From the Ohio State Journal, 1883.
ors Of the most difficult questions OF
.Ao Jsv and upon which the Administra-
.;0r e called to act, is the government OF
a .Sa Mormon Territory Of Utah. 1t is a
nv wv, of the Union and the Government
ip,nst look after it SO long as it remains o
Tarritory. Congress makes annual ap-
nropristious Of solid cash to pay the ex-
penses of Territorial Government, and
vet the men, to whom it is paid, in total
disregard of all law, neglect or refuse to
make any returns. or in any way account
10 the Executive for the manner in which
This money is expended. For more than
two years not single voucher or report
has been received from them, while they
have been in the annual receipt Of the
Government funds.
Some time ago, Judges, not Of Mormon
faith, were appointed by the President,
confirmed by the Senate, and sent among
them. A very short residence satisfied
them that they had no practical author
i,y, and that the people treated them and
their attempts at the exercise of their ju.
dicisl functions with great contempt.
They were finally driven out OF the Terri
tory, and returned to Washington with o
history Of their exploits, which were pub
lished in the papers at the time. Brig
ham Young, the patriarch OF the flock,
was some time since appointed Governor.
His commission has expired, yet no sue
esssor has been appointed, and no sue
lessor can be appointed with any hope
Of acting US Governor, unless he has two
or three regiments Of troops at his COM
mand. In an address to his people, pub.
Hshsd in the Deseret News, Of March,
TO- Brigham Young uses the following
language.
I'VE have got a Territorial govern.
neut, and l am aud will be the Cover.
nor, and no power can hinder it until the
Almighty says. Brigham, you need not
be the Governor any longer; and then ]
am willing to yield to another.
mo persons need trouble themselves
about whether or no he would be re-
moved, for the Lord would control the
matter Just as he pleased; and neithe,
President Pierce nor any other Presi
dent would remove him until the Lord
permitted.
Every man that comes to impose on
this people, no matter by whom they arr
sent, or who they are that are sent, they
lay the axe at the root Of the tree to kill
themselves. They had better be careful
how they come here, lest should bent
my little finger"
This looks very much like declara.
ton Of war against the rest of the Union
1t is at least defiance that is full O
evil omen for the future peace and well
being OF the Territory. The practica
question is now forced upon the Govern
ment at Washington whether they viii
see the laws of the nation obsyed, o.
whether they will permit this lawles
band to remain in open rebellion with
out an effort to bring them to subjectior
1t is probable the subject will come u
before Congress at its next session.

A ooLD-BLooDED MURDER.

Assassination of Mr.. David Bar
land-The Perpetrator Of the Deed
Unknown.
With an overfowed country, ruined
crops and destitute and suffering
people, it seems almosti impossible for
any man to have enough of the fiend
in his nature to be guilty of the afro
cious act which forms the heading of
this article and the details of which
We give below.
Last Saturday, about half-past
seven in the evening, at Burnsides
Ascension store some four miles above
Donaldsonville, some assassin shot
through the open window at Mr..
Barland and instantly killed him.
When the shot was fired the store
was filled with customers, as is usual
on this day of the week, upon one of
whom Mr.. Barland was in the act of
waiting, and also quite a number of
persons were standing on the gallery
and in front of the building. Upon
an examination of the corpse, one
large ball was found to have entered
the forehead directly between the
eyes while several small and buck
shot were found in different portions
of the body, and the supposition is
that the weapon used by the muir
derer was an army musket loaded
with shot and a blue whistler
AS soon as possible after the murder,
blood hounds were obtained from the
guardians of the penitentiary con-
victs and put upon the track of the
criminal who they traced as far as the
banks of the river, showing that the
villain must have taken a skiff and
either crossed or went down the river.
One of the convict guards stationed

LET ALL THE PEOPLE READ An
noaneenseat Extraordinary ,--It is a
well known fact that the great panic
in financial circles last winter, fol-
lowed by the poor sale of a very ordi-
nary cotton and sugar crop, have pro-
duced great demand for ready cash
among the merchants generally and
especially those who furnished plant
ers with provisions and stores neces-
sary for carrying on their places. To
this latter class our largest merchant,
Mr.. MARX ISRAEL, has proven no ex.
ception, nor does he seek to conceal
the fact. On the contrary, he wishes
his friends and the public generally to
know that he is in urgent need of
CASH
to carry on his extensive business, to
obtain which be has marked his mag
nifcent stock of goods down to the
lowest possible figures, offering in
ducements to cash purchasers never
excelled for their liberality in the an
nails of Donaldsonville mercantile his
tory. This announcement is no adj
vertising dodge, but plain, matter
of-fact business notice, and those who
visit Mr. Israers large establishment
and price his goods will be assured of
the truth whereof we speak.

We see by report of the sheriff to
the Police Jury of Bossier Parish, that
during the month of November, 1873,
he collected no less than $500 from
sureties ON forfeited bonds, and in
March, 1874, fines to the amount of
$500 were recovered by the same off,
GER. After deducting commission of
sheriff and fees of Parish Attorney,
the balance, amounting to $812 40,
was turned over to the Parish Treas
urer. Will not our sheriff try his
hand at collecting few finest Re-
member you get ten per centum on
all amounts so collected.

Arkansas affairs are still in most
pitiable middle. Numerous little skir-
mishes have taken place between the
Brooks aud Baxter forces, several
persons killed aud wounded and quite
q number captured, but decided
battle has been prevented by the
watehfulness of the United States
troops. Baxter has called a meeting
of the Legislature in order to settle
the difficulty, but Brooks seems posi-
tive that quorum of that body can
not DO got together, and even if it
does assemble there is scarcely
probabilityof either party abiding by
its decision. A few days ago two
judges of the Supreme Court were
captured by Bakers forces but he
denies having ordered their arrest.
Baxter's attorneys have laid their
side of the case before Attorney Gen
eral Williams at Washington, and
Brooks lawyers are preparing state
ment of their side of the affair to
submit to the same authority. The
question is, will both parties be sat
isfied when the Attorney General
gives his opinionf

Attention, Advertisers.-Having
Withdrawn from the Louisiana Press Asso-
citation, we are no longer bound by the ad-
yertising rates adopted by that body, and it
will be seen by reference to the table above
that we have made great reduction from the
prices heretofore demanded for the publica-
ton of advertisements in the CHIEF. In con-
sideration of this reduction we call upon the
business men of this and neighboring eommu-
mites and advertising agents throughout the
country generally to bestow portion of
their patronage upon us, assuring them that
they will find the investment paying one.

on boat lying in front of Gen.
Thomas plantation, a short distance
below the store, reports that a few
moments before the shot was fred q
skiff containing two men passed up,
and soon after he saw them rowing
with might and main for the middle
of the stream. On the same night at
about nine o'clock, two suspicious
looking individuals stopped in store
about mile below town and asked
for a piece of rope, and as both of
them seemed excited and one had no
hat the proprietor, although at that
time ignorant of the murder, was SO
struck by their evil appearance that
he anticipated an attempt to rob his
store that night. Taking these two
circumstances together we are in
clined to think the outrage was COM
mitted for revenge by some negro on
one of Mr.. Burnside's places below
here, and that one of these men was
the murderer and the other his &C.
complete.
The morning after the assassina-
ton the District Attorney went
up the river and carefully examined
the surroundings of the place where
the crime was committed, and elected
all the information he could from
those present when Mr.. Barland fell,
but without obtaining any decided
trace of the guilty party. Gen.
Thomas is also, we are informed,
using every effort to secure the MUIR
derers and bring them to Justice.
Mr.. Barland came to this place
from Mississippi and has been for the
last five years the agent of Mr.. John
Burnside, a large property holder in
this parish. Some years after taking
up his abode with Us he married q
young creole lady, the daughter of
one of Ascension's oldest and most
respected planters, Mr.. Dorcini Ian
dry, and who is now left a widow
after but a few years of welded life.
We have known Mr.. Barland per-
sonally for several years and have
always found him an honest, though
strict business man, courteous and
afable gentleman, an honorable and
upright citizen. His untimely end
is mourned for by his family, regret
ted by his friends and pitied by even
strangers. It is not the duty of a
journalist to favor lynch-law, and it
seems horrible in this civilized age
for man to be deprived of his life
without the benefit of a trial, but
such is the righteousness of this deed
that if the murderer is ever captured
we would not regret to see him swung
to the nearest limb.

Oregon, and nobody thought very
strange of it.
The principal interest of the week in
the House proceedings, centred in the
general appropriation bill brought in
by Mr.. Garfield, and fought for by
him and Mr.. Dawes. They failed,
however, upon several important
points. One subject of contention
was the clause appropriating $3.50, 600
to pay for printing the backs of the
circulating notes in New York, the
faces being done by MeCartee at the
Treasury for 100000. This action OF
McCartee has been looked upon as
indefensible and most audacious
proceeding to perform more
than half the work at two-thirds of
what it cost to do the other half
but there were the figures in the bill
$3.50, 900 for New York companies
100000 for poor McCartee. To
meet this unwarrantable conduct, the
note companies have employed the
strongest lobby hereabouts to make
points against him-and the lobby
grows to it's full strength here on ques-
lions of half million-and the lobby
accused Nice. of all sorts of things, in
order to break him down, and pub
lished an indecent pamphlet, which
however had the only merit of lying
so badly that no one believed its
statements. The lobby seemed to
think that the man must be extrava-
CANT, that he was thief, and last, if
not least, counterfeiter. Well they
investigated him, and the little rascal
was quite polished up by the opera
ton, and made some people think
that his cheap and saving way of
printing, was not an utter abomination,
notwithstanding the pamphlets.
The lobby were in despair, and
hardly knew which way to turn
which is bad condition for a lobby
to be in-when Dawes came to the
rescue, He didn't know any of these
Note Company men-nobody knows
them-but it was so unsafe to have
the backs and faces of the circulating
notes printed any nearer together
than two hundred miles, that really
he could not consent to have the
printing all done in Washington.
There might be COLLISION between
McCartee, and company in the city (,
but with two hundred miles between
them, it would be so very safe, that
the difference in cost, was not worth
regarding. Strange to say, not one
of the members, supposed to be under
pay by the lobby, supported Mr..
Dawes, and alone he fought the bat
tie for the unknown stockholders,
willing to be slain in open field"
Only fifty members were found when
the vote was taken who accepted the
patriotic views of Mr.. Dawes, and
that left him in a bad predicament as
leader. Such slaughter of Chair
man of Ways and Means is not often
witnessed.
On Thursday, Mr. Norwood of Geor-
gia, made a speech in the Senate on
the civil rights bill, which was very
amusing. He made some keen thrusts
at the republicans and Vice Presi-
dent Wilson and Upton, sat next to
him, seemingly enjoying the fun as
heartily as the Democrats did.
