The thief got over the fence at the
south end, as the marks of his boots
are clearly seen in the ground of the
flower bed, and can he tracked direct
ly to the window through which he
effected an entrance. The window Oi

ACCEssORY AFTER THE FACT.

There can be no question that Brig
ham Young was accessory to the
Mountain Meadow massacre after, if
not before, the fact. 1t is already in
evidence before the Court at Beaver
that he was informed Of the horrible
affair within = very few days after its
commission. The testimony is direct
and. positive, on this point. At that
time Brigham Young was the Acting
Governor Of Utah Territory, charged
with the enforcement Of the law and
the protection Of the lives and prop
erty Of the people. What was his
course with reference to the massacre?
Did he make an attempt, as was his
sworn duty, to bring to punishment
the cutthroats who had perpetrated this
unparalleled crime? If so, the outside
world has never been advised of his
efforts in that direction. On the contra
~, 1t 10 an open and notorious fact that
he has endeavored for the last eighteen
years by every Q possible to
up and conceal the guilt Of those obed.
lent and God.fearing Saints who par
ticipated in that terrible slaughter OF
innocent men, women and children.
Never in the history of all of the years
that have interviewed since the mas
sacre, has Brigham Young once raised
. finger towards ferretiDg out these
damnable murderers, Notwithstanding
he was in possession Of all of the fac e
In the case. Nay. he has p~ersistently
denied that Mormons were the guilty
parties. These things-the evidence now
being adduced at Beaver on behalfofthe
prosecution-ought to be abundantly
sufficient to establish his guilt as an
accessory, beyond all question; and
now that the authorities are getting
into the narrow Of the whole bloody
business, we hope to see Brigham
Young, the greatest criminal among
all the Mormons, promptly put OH
trial, and as promptly convicted and
hung. There is not one Of his deluded
followers half so deserving of such a
fate a. Che lscherous Brigham~ him

nIsCRIMINArrON.

The people of Virginia City, Nevada,
are grooming over the exactions OF the
Central Pacific Railroad Company.
The last outrage is in carrying freights
ordered from the East by Virginia City
merchants over the mountains to Sac
rsmento, and thence returned to Reno.
compelling the payment OF through
charges to Sacramento and way
charges back to Reno. BY this system
the merchants OF Virginia find it utterly
impossible I o compete with those OF
San Francisco and Sacramento.-S0n
Francisco Exchange.
There is no new COURAGE" about
that. It is precisely the practice that
has been pursued v since the last
spike was driven at Ogden. But is it
not a little funny that the Bulletin and
the San Francisco Dollies should abuse
the Railroad when all of the facts are
duly weighed7 If there is one spot on
earth into the hands OF whose business
men the Central Pacific has systemat-
ically played, that spot is San Francis.
O 1t is wholly due to the policy Of
the Railroad, as cited above, that the
commercial people Of Nevada and other
portions of the interior are forced to
pay tribute to San Francisco. The
San francisco importers buy their
goods East at greenback prices; get un-
heard of advantages in the shape of
through freights; and, to cap the eli.
max, the country merchants are COM
PEELED to patronize them, paying gold
coin for all they get, simply because
the Railroad Wills it. This ia precisely
the situation, and why the jobbers
across the Bay should wage a perpetual
war against the Railroad, clearly their
best friend, surpasses all understand
ing. II can not he that those short
sighted people desire tie discrimlna-
ton of which they complain to cease,
for in that case nineteen -twentieths OF
everything consumed in Nevada would
be purchased by our merchants direct
from the Eastern markets. This is ex-
actly what the people of Nevada de-
sire, and have always contended for.
1t strikes us that San Francisco really
does not know when she is we'll off.
