NO VERDICT YET.

The telegraph announces that the
jury in the case of John d. Lee had
not found a verdict up to late hour
last night. 1t is supposed they stand
either ten or eleven for conviction to
one or two for acquittal. AS there are
eight Mormons on the jury verdict
was not expected, but if the informa-
ton furnished by telegraph is correct,
there is yet a possibility of Lee is receiving
his just deserts. The Mormon jurors
are doing better than was expected of
them, and it is possible that their ale
glance to the Church will not prevent
them from melting out to cold blooded
assassin the punishment he so
richly deserves. The evidence shows
that Lee commanded company of
militia at the Mountain Meadows, and
under the guise of friendship, disarmed
the emigrants, who, the moment they
surrendered, were ruthlessly slaugh-
tered by the inhuman monsters. The
theory of the defense has been that Lee
and others who were aware of the stu
alton of the emigrants, whom they al
lege were attacked by Indians, went on
a mission of mercy and made a treaty
between them and the Indians, after
which the latter fell upon and massa-
cred the emigrants against the wishes
and protests of Lee and his militia,
who, in consequence of their inferior
numbers, were powerless to prevent it.
This theory is altogether too thin to
hold water, and the civilized world, in
the light of the testimony produced at
the trial, hold the Mormons responsible
for the cold blooded murder of over
one hundred unarmed men and helpless
woman and children, regardless of the
inability to agree of jury composed
largely of the friends of the accused.

CUTTING and shooting appears to be
the order of the day in Virginia City.
The knife and the pistol are used al
most as generally on the groupings as
the pick and shovel in the lower levels
of the Comstock. Every day one or
more persons are stabbed or shot. aud
"a man for breakfast" is almost as
common as in the flush days of 1868.

Curing Headache with a Sixpenny
Nail.
From the Richmond Dispatch.l

From the Richmond Dispatchl
A strange and remarkable case was
brought under the attention of DR..
Tate of Augusta county few days
since. He was called to see Mrs. Tay-
lor, wife of Mr.. Robert Taylor, living
about three miles from Greenville. and
found that she had driven sixpenny
nail into the back of her head, which,
after much difficulty. he succeeded in
extracting. The nail had been driven
in several days previously. and by her
own hand. 1t was discovered by q
daughter of hers while combing her
hair one day, and she insisted on keep
ing the fact secret, but her daughter
sent for DIR. Tate, as above stated. She
told her daughter that she had driven
the nail in several days before, with
the fiat side of n Ratchet; that she had
been suffering with violent pains in her
head, but since driving in the nail she
had been entirely free from them.
Some years ago she had been confined
in the Western Lunatic Asylum, and
has for some time been partially de-
ranged. If the nail penetrated the
skull, as I understand it did, it is q
very remarkable case, and one of much
interest to the medical fraternity.

MANY of the Gentiles in Utah are
said to, be in favor of annexing that
Territory to Utah. A proposition of
that character was discussed in the
Legislature of this State in 1871, and it
did not meet with much favor. The
population of Utah outnumbers that
of Nevada, and it was feared that the
saints would get away with the sinners
and control the government.

Tlse Bad Road Of Augusta.

Editor of the VINDIcAToR:
For over month the leading thorough
fares, that is the Port Republic. Middle
brook, Churchville and Greenville roads
to St;tunton have been impossible with a
load. lis it fair that Beverley Manor
Township should bear the whole burden
of putting these roads, which are used BY
all the townships, i'll proper fix. No? Then
let the whole county be taxed to macada-
mize one of these roads five miles, next to
Staun ton, this summer, five miles next
summer and so on, until they are all four
macatlaInized. Let the roads that are to
be m:.cttdamized first be chosen by lot.
Then instead of business being at stand
still ila s;taunton for three months in the
year, the, farmers will be able to come to
Staunt.on with their produce, and thus
keep UP a lively business. It will be an
induce ment for strangers to make Staun.
ton ummer resort, as th y will have five
roads instead Of one to take evening drives
upon, nd no greater inducement can be
held OF It to pleasure seekers. 1t is to be
hoped that the people of the county and
even of Stanton, who are even more in
1erestetl, will take up this matter and
never ct it drop until they have accom-
plished this great Improvement. Augusta
is bles! sed with one of the ablest Board Of
Superv 'isors in this State or any other.
Give liem the power TO levy the tax for
this purpose and put the work under con-
tract, and proud old Augusta will soon b.
able to boast of the best roads in the State.

MEANS TO GET RICH.-Ten or twelve
years ago. says the Virginia (Nev) EN-
terprise,". there was miner working in
the upper levels of the Comstock at 81 per
day. He lived in little cabin down the
canyon, did his own cooking, and whistled
softly, There's a Good Time Coming
Boys To-day that miner walks about
the streets at Virginia City, as cordial as
in the old days; he dresses no better than
any ordinary gentlemen of Virginia and
eats no better food than a conscientious
editor ought to have! And yet, as his for
tune is rated in the stock-list daily, he is
so rich that, were his stocks turned into
money, he could lend Scott that S70,000,000
he wants and have enough money to live
comfortably upon. He could, unaided, go
down and open at his own expense the Da-
rien Canal, or, should his fancy run that
way. he could advertise tomorrow that
the Government, through him, had deter
mined to resume specie payment, and
pretty nearly make the promise good. He
could endow college in each State Of the
Union with $20,000,000 each, or could
build a double track narrow guage rail-
road from San Francisco to New York.
and solve at once the problem of cheap
Transportation. There is no telling indeed
what he might not do, but what he will
do is apparent enough. He was here when
thirty feet Of ore near the surface was a
big mine. AT 800 feet he has found it
three or four times as wide. He believes
at 1000 he will strike to 500 feet wide, and
get rich, and he is going for it.

SENATOR WRITER'S SPEECH IN THE
on the question of the recognition of Kel-
logg of Louisiana. Senator Withers made
his first speech. He said that, as a
representative of one Of the oldest States
OF the Union. a State which had contrbu-
ted as much us any other to form and fix
the character of the Government and to
pl otect the principles of constitutional lib
erty, he claimed the right to be heard at a
time when their existence WAS threatened
with destruction. He maintained that tire
Senate could not properly consider the
pending resolution in this session, and
that to express an opinion in advance as
to the action of the President would set a
dangerous precedent, and might embarrass
the future action of this body in cases of
impeachment that might arise. He COM
mented upon the attempt to BASS without
proper consideration resolution planned
after much care by a caucus OF the major
ity, and in this connection he referred to
the senator from Indiana Mr.. Morton)
as welding the party whip with relentless
hand and lashing into obedience the recall
citrant members of his party like skillful
driver crowding his team over hill. Mr..
Withers then proceeded to discuss the gen.
6Tdl questions lllVOlNeu Ill LIc ueUdtt. lie
alluded to what he characterized as the re-
peated infractions of the present Execu-
tive upon the other departments of the
Government, and his disregard of law,
which the Senate was now asked to APP
prove. He condemned in the strongest
terms the military interference in Loulsi-
ANA and the course of General Sheridan i'll
assuming command in that STAGE. He
did not believe that the half or one-tenti
tire murders and outrages alleged to have
been committed in Louisiana had really
taken place. There were outrages and
murders in other States, but no interior
ence. Then, III a merely partisan point of
view, the adoption OF this resolution
would not be unfortunate for his party;
but on this resolution he did not speak as
a partisan. In the next election the naked
question would be presented whether there
are any rights Or liberties of the people
which the Executive is bound to respect.
He did not fear the result. He had hopes
that the Anglo-SaXon race would be an
exception to the histories of the success Of
usurpers. lie believed the people would
assert their honor and sovereignty superb
or to both State and National officers.
