cute the originators Of the forged Russo
Prussian treaty which was published in
Paris, France, last Friday,
TRIAL OF Lee. the Mountain Mea-
dow Murderer.

SALT LAKE, September lS.-Thc eyi.
dence'of McMurdy in court on Friday
afternoon and Saturday last was very
clear and positive as to Lee having shot
and killed four or Eve wounded men and
women lying helpless ID the wagon that
witness drove, the lead team. He testi.
fed that aa soon aa Lee fired the first shot
preceded by the word "halt," the Indians
rushed out Of their ambush apparently
on all sides, surrounding the emigrants
completely and the work of destruction
only lasted q few minutes; that from his
best judgment there was not to exceed %
white men on the ground who had been
deceived as to what was wanted OF them
there, and knight testifes that not more
than one.third Of this number took part
in the massacre. It can be proven that
several even Of those shed NO blood; firing
in the air; that the Indians were armed,
some with bows and arrows, but mostly
with guns, and soon completed the de-
struction.
N. johnson testified that he lived al
Johnson's Fort, Iron county, in 1857. He
was on the Mountain Meadows at the
time OF the massacre. He affirmed that
he did not know Lees intention as to the
destruction Of the emigrants. he was on
hill near by when Lee fired the gun.
He saw Lee kill two or three. He was an
Indian interpreter and engaged to con.
duct the Jukes company Of emigrants, the
next following the company that were
massacred from Beaver; when witness got
to Harmony, on the way with the com.
pany, Lee urged him to lead them into
an ambush in the Santa Clara mountain,
and Lee would surround them. Witness
refused, saying, "You have shed enough
blood already. / have agreed TO pilot
this company through the country, and
l will do so Il 1t costs me my life." Lee
called him 4 coward, &c.
The defense coss-examined this wit
ness more than the rest and confused him
some, but couldn't effect much damage to
the positive evidence as to Lees acts Of
guilt.
Jacob Hamblin, the last witness called
for the prosecution, testified to the admis.
sions by Lee 10 him Of acts Of murder and
participation in commencing and com.
pleting the massacre. That Lee justified
himself in the act.

says at joint discussion to-day between

possession OF the seats. Several negroes
refused to yacate, and a scuftle ensued

CHICAGO, September 1S.-The exposi
tion is now fully in order and is already
an assured success Of the most gratifying
character: Despite the very bad weather
the attendance on some days has been
unprecedentedly large. Saturday not lea
than 10000 visited the exhibition and this
evening the building is crowded will
music lovers and sightseeing people: The
excursions from the country are increas.
ing in size and frequency. The cheap
fares offered by the railroads, low prices
for accommodations and the attractions
Of the exhibition itself proves sufficient
to bring out the people from the country
and neighboring cities as well as from
Chicago itself.

more than probable that forbearance in

Y. are very sorry TO hear that
there has been any occasion for such
notice a. this. Those who are so
tooli,h and reckless IA TO disturb in
,ny manner peaceable procession de-
serve very little consideration from de-
rem, people Of either party. They make
ou,l,w. Of themselves and must expect to
h. treated a, outlaws. While we shall be
y4ry sorry indeed to hear OF any disturb
ancp in this canvass growing out Of such
an indpcency, we shall certainly utter no
regret, over the fate OF any person who is
80 lo,t TO seli.respect, and respect for the
rights Of Others us to throw atmissile OF
any kind at a passing procession. 1t is
the privilege Of every citizen to parIici'
mte in political demonstrations Tree from
any annoyance Of any kind, and par
ties who come between citizeps and

had enough OF this sort Of barharism in

The Times Vienna correspondent says
that despite the Portes concessions the
impression produced is unsatisfactory
Apart from the unanimous opinion thai
the conditions Of peace it proposes are
inadmissable, this Indirect and imperfect
way OF complying with the'wishes Of the
powers seems to have produced an effect
contrary TO what the Porte expected
While England was inclined 10 acquiesce
in Turkeys answer, because q de tactC
armistice might be easily prolonged, the
other Powers desired regular armistice,
The greatest impediment to granting
the armistice was the strong feeling
among the Mohammedans. This had
found expression in a resolution Of the
Great Council, tie meaning Of which Ia
unmistakable. The dread Of an out.
burst Is still felt. II was only after an
interview Of five hours with the leading
men that the Austrian Ambassador goi
in writing promise that orders for q
cessation Of hostilities would be issued
The term Of suspension seems short, but
preparatory work has been done by Eng
land and Austria. Both have been formu,
lating certain conditions. Each takes
the status quo ante 'bellum as the basis oi
any arrangement regarding Servia.
The English proposals touching Bosnia
and Herzegovina look to reforms in the
nature Of local autonomy. In regard 10
Bulgaria administration reforms are
proposed, which are calculated to pre-
vent recurrence OF the atrocities.
