The TRIAL or LEE.-The evidence for
the prosecution is all in, and reveals
scene Of b. blrity, such as has only been
equa oil in the days Of religious fanati
.cism, during and following the Dark
Ages. 1t seems almost incredible Of be-
lief that at this day there is a people so
completely subjected to the dogmas Of
any church that in pursuance Of its edicts
the lives Of their fellow beings are no
more to them than would be the lives of
so many beasts Of prey. Yet in all ages
o the world the sacred name of religion
has been the watchword which has led
m IN forth to barbarous scenes Of slaugh-
ter. And the crime becomes more terri
BILE when all its attendant circumstances
are considered. Left to themselves, the
enigrants would doubtless in the end
have proved more than a match for their
Ind an assailants, and secure behind their
breastwork formed by the wagons and
embankment, have kept them at dis
tance until succor could be obtained --
When Lee and the Mormons appeared
on the scene, they were welcomed as de-
liverers. The arms with which the party
be,ieged had protected itself, were piled
lnto the wagon, and when, confident Of
the protection Of these supposed friends
and allies, the men, women aud children
left their camp, they were hardly clear Of
its bounds when the work of death was
begun. OF those old enough to tell the
tale not one was spared. And yet, altho'
these facts are proven and the full com
plicity of Lee established beyond n doubt
IN the minds Of all who heard or read the
testimony, it is hardly hoped a conviction
will be obtained. Two thirds of the Jury
are Mormons, in full fellowship with the
church, and even were the jury composed
entirely Of Gentiles, no memb Der of it who
voted for conviction would be safe from
Mormon vengeance. 1t is mainly in The
moral effect which cannot help following
sl3h damnabe exposure of Mormon
villainy that the public has anything to
nope. The church or sect which could
encourage or even silently approve of
steno like the Mountain Meadow Massa-
Gie, should never be permitted to rear its
temples of worship in any civilized land.

Lake to be, it will be an abuse Of freedom

"IT Is SAID. D."-As an illustration of
the kind of weapons used to make capital
against the Republicans in this campaign
we cite the following rumor which is tax :
Ell from the Oakland NeUS and published
approyingly by the ChrOHcte:
The rumor is well authenticated that
the political programme of the Railroad
Democratic Republican party is, in case
Of success, for Sargent to resign before
the expiration of Grants term, and be
appointed to life Office as United States
District or Supreme Judge, that Irwin is
TO be elected Senator in his place and
that Gorham who will certainly be kicked
out of the office he now holds, that of
Secretary Of the Senate, will be beapponted
to foreign mission. Sargent has said he
did not wish TO be Senator again, knowing
he could not get it, and having the prom
ise Of permanent office, gladly joins in
the desperate game. Irwin, who has
everything to make and nothing to lose,
knows it is all turkey to him, and Cor
ham, the spiteful and the malevolent, en-
ters into the plot to get the best h9 can.

ANDREW JOHNSON.

One by one the actors in the great ma
tional drama OF the rebellion are passing
away, and in few years more the men
who bore leading parts therein will be
but few. Andrew johnson died on the
3Ist ultimo. His death was not unex-
pected, as the telegraph had borne to us
the previous news Of his illness and Of the
fatal character Of the disease. OF those
who had at one time filed the Executive
chair Of this nation, he was the last one
living and now that the grave has closed
over him, we can draw the veil over that
part Of his life in which he disappointed
the hopes of those whose confidence had
raised him to the highest station Of politi-
cal life. Mr.. johnson was an eminent
illustration Of the power which talent,
when united with ambition and energy,
can command to its support. lie was the
son Of "poor white" Of North Carolina
and instead Of receiving the advantages
Of education which are now attainablo to
children of all classes Of society, grew up
in ignorance, nor was it until his wife
taught him that he acquired the rudi-
ments Of an English education. Yet in
spite Of these Disadvantages we have seen
him filing successfully the posts Of public
trust which are given only to the greatest
minds. One great secret in the success
Of Mr.. Johnson's political life lay in the
confidence which people had in the hon
esty Of his intentions and the purity Of his
patriotism. His opposition to the seces-
sion while holding a Senatorship from
one OF the seeding States, rendering
himself thereby an outcast and an exile
from his home, endeared him to the Union
loving people, North and South, and it
was this course Of action of his which gave
him tho prestige which eventually placed
him in the highest place within their gift.
His devotion in the hour of the nation S
peril will be the grand act Of his career,
which will keep his memory green in the
hearts Of a patriotic people, while the
stubborn pride which sought to make his
private ideas the ones which the party
that had honored him should adopt, and
which arrayed the party against itself,
and brought destruction to it in some sec
tions, can be forgotten.
Mr.. johnson was born in 1903, and was
consequently 81 years old at the time of
his death. His last request, that his body
should be wrapped in the flag Of his coun-
try, was typical Of the man. President
Grant issued an Executive order in which
he says: "The solemnity Of the occasion
which called him to the Presidency, with
the varied nature and length Of his public
service, will occasion HIM to be long re-
membered and mourned as distinguish
ed public servant" Suitable honors were
ordered to be paid to the deceased states
man, and all business ordered to be sus-
pended on the day appointed for the
funeral

THE DEM0CRATIC CONVENTIONS This
body met in Weayeryille on the goth ult
in accordance with the call Of the Central
Committee. The convention was a very
full one, every precinct being represented
by delegates in person, there being in fact
but five proxies voted. The convention
completed is nominations and adjourned
the same day; the ticket it has presented
will be found in the report Of proceedings.
Some Of the nominations are as strong rs
could be made others the reverse, and II
the Republicans could have bad the nam
ing Of the ticket with the view Of beating
it, they would have picked some Of the
men now in nomination. We have no
desire to particularize each nominee can
make the application to suit himself No
doubt all consider themselves strong men
before the people nearly every man has
a somewhat exalted idea of his own pop
uarity which nothing but the ties. Of the
ballot-bo can alter. We can say very
little in praise of the convention proceed
ings in fact one leading Democrat asked
us &" Not to be too heavy on them rs they
had no come back" and some of the
proceedings are certainly open to grave
criticism. In regard to the personnel of
the ticket, it is composed Of old citizens,
generally we'll known in the county, and
we leave it to the people to Judge of their
qualifications. We think the convention
made one or two mistakes in its choice of
candidates, and in this opinion there are
many leading Democrats who coincide
with us. The convention also adopted
quite Il lengthy platform which will be
found IN the nnnronr;ate nlaca

THE Placer Hsrald says that Rousch,
tho Independent candidate for Secretary
Of State. steadtastly refused to employ
Chinese, though they were constantly
employed by others in similar business.
If this be the case, Kousch gives a practi-
cal illustration of the only method by
which Chinese immigration can be dis
eQuraged. There is some difference be-
tween the course pursued by housch and
that Of the Democrats who hire Chinese.

could be received from Lowell, the suffering
from chils and fever became fearful. A few
parties were so fortunate as to have it on hand
and in lreiell county the druggists eked out
their slender stock by selling 1oses-n spoonful
each-ior dollar. Many paid ten dollars for

An important decision was re-
Gently rendered in the Supreme Court
OF Appeals in the State Of Virginia
The old State OCvirginia had became
indebted, before the creation OF West
Virginia, 10 the James River and
Kanawha Canal Company, and the
question before the Court was the liza
bility Of the present State of West
Virginia for its pro rata share of the
indebtedness OF the OLD State at the
date Of Its ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
The Court held that the dismem-
berment Of the State did not change
its liability as between itself and its
creditors; and that the State Of West
Virginia was equally bound for the
whole debt that existed at the time Of
the dismemberment. AS between the
two States they are bound rateably /;
and If Virginia has to pay the whole
debt. an equity arises at once in her
favor for contribution against West
Virginia. which she can enforce in the
United States Courts"
This decision is important 10 this
country, because the same principle
is involved in the suit OF Laramie
County vs.. Albany and Carbon Coun-
ties, now pending in the Supreme
Court OF the United States on appeal.
The question IS n that the courts
have not often been invoked 10 decide
upon, and hence, p~reeedents do not
abound in the law books. The ques-
tion must be settled upon equitable
principles, If at all, and the only SEEM
ing difficulty is whether the equitable
principles. upon which contribution
Is bottomed, can be en- 6rced against
the political subdivisions Of a state OF
county organization, rs they can
against individuals. No very solid
eason can be given Why a political
subdivision OF a state or county can
rightly do, what would be deemed
rank injustice II done by natural per-
sons. This county claims two-thirds
or Whereabouts, of SIS, 600 OF the old
Indebtedness incurred by Laramie
County before the creation Of Albany
and Carbon Counties, which debt was
wholly discharged by the present
county of Laramie.
Should the Supreme Court of the
United States decide hat it is entitled
to contribution, the interest on the
sum that will be found due since
january, 1860, will be quite a snug
sum in itself.
