TIE New York Herald does not enter
tain a very high opinion of the police
force Of the metropolis. The frequency
with which daring robberies are com.
,nitted in this city in daylight, says that
paper, is becoming alarming. Within
two days two ladies were assaulted and
robbed in their own houses, and in
neither case has the police the slightest
clew to the perpetrators of the crime.
Such offenses would not occur at all if
immunity from punishment was not al
most certain because of bungling police
management. In the last five years the
Metropolitan Police has scarcely made
single clever arrest. and the certainty
Of the escape of daring criminals seems
to grow greater with every year. We
shall see whether the perpetrators Of the
bold crime on Eleventh street on Mon
day, and in Mansin street yesterday, are
arrested; but their escape, which is
more probable than their punishment.
will be another evidence of the worth
lessness of the police force of the me-
tropolis as at present constituted.

The LATEST PHASE of the Mormon
trials is that on Tuesday morning. the
twentieth inst, Judge Sutherland, coun-
sci for Dame, said that he had found a
fatal defect in the Indictment, which ne
had intended to overlook and so to trial
upon it, but finding that Lees case
would be first tried, and Danes not
reached this term, he asked that the
indictment be quashed upon the ground
that the crime was not alleged to have
been committed in this Territory or Dis
trict, nor in any county, but simply in
Mountain Meadows Valley, without any
other designation, whereupon Mr.. Carey
rose and presented new Indictment.
which charges Lee, Dame, Elliott,
Wilder, William C. Stewart, George
Adair, Jr., John NJ. Higbee. Isaac C.
Haieht, Samuel Jukes and Philip Kiln
gan Smith with conspiracy with Indians
to kill these immigrants, and that in
pursuance to that conspiracy they did to
kill them. The Indictment will not be
made public till tomorrow morning. at
which time Lee will be arranged to
plead to it.

SENATOR BOOTH made q speech at
Union Hall. San Francisco, on Tuesday
night. Judging from the telegraphic
report of the same, it was in the nature
of an essay upon the grand. sidereal, top
loftical and measnreiess necessity for
having the Independent party take the
affairs of mankind out of the control Of
wicked mortals and. lifting the same up
to the Olympian plane whereupon he
sits clothed in purity and ethereal love
illness as with a garment of light, and
sitting with one hand upon the
fountain head of English classical liter
allure and the other upon the head of a
cask of Suits Old Bourbon whisky,
they be placed far above the reach Of
such wicked men as Senator Sargent
and Secretary Gorham. The dainty
Senator only came down to the level of
things terrestrial to noticeths aspirations
Of his rival in the raisin trade, Honest
John, of Chico. That our inference of
the character of his speech is Just one
is demonstrated by the following:
Senator Booth addressed mass meet
ing of Independents this evening at
Union Hall He opened with q brief
allusion TO the attacks upon Bidwell,
following with an argument showing the
necessity for the formation of Peoples
independent party e. the present stage
of political affairs. and dilating upon the
purposes and principles of the party. He
dwelt on the influence exsrted by the
railroad and steamship corporations,
and argued the Peoples movement as
the proper remedy. He also noticed
Phelps statistical figures at length,
compared the Freeman and Irwin fare
and freight bills to the advantage Of the
former, and in conclusion claimed that
the Independent party represented the
popular sentiment. and so commended
itself to public consideration.

family who were passengers on last
evenings emi2rsut train. died yesterday
on the road between Carlin and here.
Upon their arrival they si2nified their
desire to bury it, provided the train re-
manned sufficient length Of time for
them to do SO. The railroad agent in
formed them that he would hold the
train reasonable length of time, SO they
procured pick and shove! and pro-
ceeded to dig a grave east of the track
for the lost one. which they placed in a
small dry goods box and buried it in
shallow bole-only three of all that was
on board the train attending the funeral.
As it was getting dark when the train
arrived. but few of the citizens knew of
the circumstance. and they desired that
the remains should be left here until to-
day, when they would be decently
buried in the graveyard ives; Of tho

to attend 10 the matter themselves. and
buried the little loved one as above

The suspicion seems to exist in the
minds of the Federal authorities in Utah
that John D. Lee. the Mormon who has
20 long been under arrest charged with
participation in the Mountain Meadow
massacre, has acted upon . cunningly
devised scheme to get himself out Of
trouble and clear the skirts OF Brigham
Young and other big Normons by max
ing some of the lesser lights the scape-
goats Of that bloody business. VIM. w.
Bishop, Esq, of Phoebe, is one of Lees
attorneys, and he provides the press
with the main points Of Lees confess
sion. A long summary Of the same ap-
pears IL yesterdays Enterprise. After q
wearying mass of repetitions of his pain
full sense of duty and a good deal Of cant
and fustian, Lee makes what he would
have believed to be his narrative of the
massacre. This. the only part that the
public cares copper for, has been sup
pressed. The substance Of some Of the
principal accusations is given. These
put the blame on Isaac G. Hsight and
John II. Higbee. Brigham IS repre-
sented as being greatly distressed when
he heard the awful news. The details
Of the massacre are said to DO vastly
more horrible than any description yet
written of that dreadful day. The con-
Guiding part Of the confession contains
the following:
A few days after the massacre l was
informed by Major Isaac &. Haight, next
in command to W. II. Dame III the Iron
Military District. to carrv.t the report OF
what had been done to President Brig
ham Young at Salt Lake. He directed
me to give my report and stand up with
manly courage and shoulder as much of
the blame as possible he sayin. that If
1 did so l should receive n cele5'ia, re-
ward. This. however, is my nature,
never to bind burdens on others that l
am not willing to bear myself. went
to Salt Lake and reported the exact facts
connected with the transaction, shout
dering a greater share of the response
bility than Justly belonged to me. In
Justice to Brigham Young. l must say
that when he heard my story he wept
like child. walked the floor and wrung
his hands in bitter anguish and said it
was the most unfortunate affair and the
most unwarranted event that had ever
