The Verdict in the Norton Murder
Trial.
SANTA BARBARA, July 30.


The jury took the Cotton case at
II 10 last night, and came in this
morning with verdict of murder in
the first degree and imprisonment for
life. One juror, it is said, stood out
all night for acquittal. Considerable
dissatisfaction is expressed on the
street, some insisting that Cotton
should be hanged. The trial of Mrs.
Norton commenced this morning,
Since the jury rendered their verdict
this morning, the friends of Norton
who are attending Court have determ-
ined to convict Mrs. Norton. More
testimony will be presented, both oral
and collateral. Witnesses arrived
from Los Angeles last night who
will testify to facts concerning Cot
ton and Mrs. Norton at that place
subsequent to Norton's deccase. Jack
Cotton is highly elated at the YER
dict in his case. He will not have to
appeal, and will be witness for the
prosecution in Mrs. Norton's trial.
Mrs. Norton's attorney asked for
continuance. Not granted.

An interesting suit against the
United States has begun in the Uni
ted States Court in the Western Dis
trict of Missouri. The suit is brought
by the heirs of Don Joseph Walters,
a captain of a Spanish regiment
stationed at the post of Arkansas in
1898, for six million acres of land in
Arkansas and Missouri, worth $751;
100000. The lands are claimed by
the heirs under grant from the
Spanish Government to Captain
valliere in 1893, when what is now
the Southwestern States was Span
ish colony.

The death ofAndrew johnson calls
to mind the suicide of Senator Lane
OF Kansas, whose vote alone saved
the deceased President from i'm
parchment. After the decisive vote
was taken Lane returned home and
was met by his constituents with
what the Senator construed into a
disapproval of his action in the trial.
A day or two after, unable to face
what he supposed would be the cold
ness of his people, he went to the
Planters House in Leavenworth and
shot himself.

We fear very much that the En-
terpr7se has, by little of its usual
foolishness, provoked controversy
from which it will be compelled to
withdraw as unceremoniously as it
did in its discussion with the TIMES.
This indiscriminate buncombe may
be all very we'll, but people should
be careful what they write. lest
the shaft sent may not, boomerang
like, return and swat them on the
mug. Look out for that Reno man,
Mr.. Enterprise, for he's hard horse
to curry.

TO THE LADIES.

DOCTOR THOMAS would merely state
that he pays the utmost attention to Diseases
incidental to Females. In 1864 he received
Special Diploma from the Royal College Of
Surgeons, England, signed by Drs. Robert
Lee and Arthur Fare, Physicians to their
Royal Highnesses, the Princess Of Wales and
the Duchess of Edinburgh. attesting to his
proficiency and thorough knowledge Of dis
eases of women. This Diploma can also b.
seen In his office.

doubt. Section 8, Article w., of the
Constitution Of the United States, de-
clares: "Congress shall have powerto
make all needful rules and regula-
tons for the Territories, or other
property belonging to the United
states" Under this provision, Con-
gress posse sses the absolute power
10 govern Utah Territory, and make
such laws as it may deem proper.
1t may repeal the Organic Act and
take the legislative authority into
its own hands, or it may place it in
the hands of commissioners appoint
ed by tie Executive or elected by
itself. 1t may provide a semi mill
tary government, as in the case OF
Alaska; if may disfranchise all Nor
mons and disqualify them from sit
ting upon juries, and thus place the
entire control of the Territory in the
hands of the Gentiles. 1t may turn
out Apostle Cannon from his seat as
a Delegate and ill the place with a
Gentle; and the country demands
that it shall do some If not all OF
these things. Whatever may be the
result of this trial of Lee, it will
place before the people facts upon
which Congress must and will act,
and Mormonism, hemmed in on all
sides, must perish, and its accom-
panying barbarities of polygamy,
incest, murder, treason. theft and
adultery no longer be reiigionized in
Utah. -Territoridt Enterprise, July
81.
And this is just what the Congress
of the United States should do. The
suggestions of the ''Enterprise' should
be the key-notes of every journal OF
the land, in pressing upon the Gov
eminent fulfilment of its absolute
powers to crush the unholiest insti-
tuition that has ever been permitted
to flourish under the protection OF the
flag of our country. Once let the
great and powerful newspapers of
the United States demand the imme-
date overthrow of Mormonism and
polygamy, and the Government will
not dare to pause until Brigham
Young and his bastard hordes are
driven from the country, or bow in
meek submission to the laws which
every other portion of the Union is
compelled to obey. Justice. morality
and humanity imperatively demand
that this investigation of the murders
committed at Mountain Meadows,
should not cease until every black
hearted polygamist is brought to an
swer the fullest demands of justice.
