John D. Lee Sentenced to be Shot.
Salt Lake, Oct. 16.-At Beaver,
Utah, to-day Judge Foreman passed
sentence upon John D. Lee, for partici-
pating In the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre, 10 years ago. In SO doing he
called attention to the atrocity Of the
crime, the inability heretofore of the
authorities to procure evidence, that the
conspiracy to murder was widespread,
that Lee was finally offered up as q sac
rifce tn popular indignation, but that
others equally guilty might hereafter
expect punishment. The prisoner hav-
ing the right under the laws of tho ter
ritory to choose death by hanging,
shooting or ~beheading, and having
chosen to be shot, was sentenced to be
shot to death on January 26th, 1877.

that is their privilege. but the law
impera lively requires that their names
shall be erased from the old reg
istry when they change their domi-
Gle. This is done to prevent cumu
lative voting. It is . wise law, and all
good citizens cheerfully submit to what is
law. But political ring men who have
spent time and money in collecting old
registration papers with view to sending
out their reporters feel terribly outraged
and aggrieved The indignation is
prompted by feelings Of disappointment
at being detected at game which they
were very silly to suppose could be played
a second time.
Now, We can assure all properly regis
tered persons that they have no reason to
be alarmed. They are in no possible
danger. There is, therefore, no occasion
for unseemly agitation, and there will be
no need for the services of volunteer
lawyers unless there is An attempt to vote
upon other peoples tickets. In such
case there is likely to be music. A bushel
basket full of substitute papers have been
made valueless by the vigilance of the
Campaign Committee. and all
who wish to have fair and free election,
lawyers and all, ought to thank them for
their good work. Any other course will
convict man on his own confession of
being accessory to fraud. And unless We
are greatly mistaken, certain managers of
The Democratic campaign have already
compromised themselves by
showing too great an interest in what could
not in any manner have belonged to their
honest business. This alacrity to shield
suspected persons, without knowing
whether they are guilty or not, has, to say
he least of it, . very bad look.

THE COL0RED VOTE DECLINED.

| The declaration of the Democracy tina,
hey are the best friends of the negro has
received an unexpected but conclusive
refutation within the last few days. A
large number of citizens, white and col.
ored, Democrats, Conservatives and Re.
publicans, wearied with the strife that dis
graced the city in the Democratic parish
convention, stacked their arms and ten
dered truce for the purpose of re-
deeming the city from the rapacity
which threatens. This conglomerate
association was willing to accept
certain names on the Democratic ticket,
comprising those of the Mayor and sew
eral Administrators. To the establishment
Of all, the Democratic candidates thus
rendered an almost unanimous support,
without any conditions or consideration,
refused to accept it. The mass Of the Re-
publicans, who had been brought with
some difficulty to suspend their political
apprehensions in view of the common
good, were of color. Their respectful Of
fer of suffrage was declined, and they
were, in effect, informed that not only
were the leaders of the Republican party
excluded from the courtesies of the can
vass, but that the support of the colored
Republicans could not be accepted by
any Democratic candidate. One such
fact will contradict any amount of
preaching. The colored Republicans may

be regarded. If not allowed to vote for
Democratic candidate for the city ad-
ministration, what chance have they to
receive the humblest employment at the
hands of the Democratic administration? If
they have not the right to vote for whom
they choose, what guarantee have they
that Democratic Legislature may not
enforce the same restrictions upon
them which are now driving col.
ored men by thousands from Georgia
and Alabama to lands in which
the rights of law and of labor are re-
spected? The Democratic candidates who
have refused to permit colored or other
Republicans to vote for them may plead
the orders of the Democratic club gov
eminent, atwhose pleasure they have their
being. but the world will not accept an
apology so abject. The Democracy have
protested themselves the best friends of
the colored race. They have refused to
permit the colored people to vote for
them. We are glad such test of Demo-
cratic sincerity has been accidentally
made, and we have no doubt that everv
colored voter will remember at the polls
that ne has been denied the right to vote
for Democratic candidates, even where
there was no opposition. You have
heard the rattle; look out for the bite.

.pected under Mr.. Tildens administra-
ton. New York has ample ways to the
Pacific, to the valley Of the Mississippi
and tho basin Of the tropics. She has
postal ocean service TO Rio, to Panama,
to Cuba, to Mexico. Why should New
York wish anything moro than to keep her
great rival, New Orleans, down where she
now il?
There WAS never case in which it was
90 much to the interest Of any public man
to carry out his political principles for
the maintenance of his local interests.
Suppose . demand for steam postal ser.
vice from New Orleans, equal to that
awarded New York, would Mr.. Tilden
consent that the travel, mail or trade be-
tween the West and the Spanish American
States should be conducted by way Of
New Orleans instead of by way Of New
York; of course the Democratic attor-
neys who conduct this canvass care little
for the commercial depression of New
Orleans, provided the Customhouse and
Postofice survive, but what say the mer.
chants who have held so many river con-
ventions? What say the steamboat and
barge interests? What the agents and
owners of shipping in the coasting and
foreign trade? Will they consent to this
possible blockade of our outlet for want
of Federal appropriations? Do they care
nothing for the equal ocean postal SER
vice?
It will be, in our opinion, only neces-
sary for any one who has an interest in
the future prosperity Of our city to read
and reflect on the foregoing and the au-
to which it refers to become con-
WINGED that the Democratic party in ad-
vocating the city of New York against the

are as much out of place Is pictures of

Then, in the political management of
our parochial, State and national affairs,
there is an immense amount of over
doing. Socrates held that political virtue
could not be taught, but we do not re-
member that either he or any other
philosopher ever made q similar assertion
concerning political vice. Indeed, our
political history is filed with instances in
which the political Generalization of the
masses, and the political triumph of un-
worthy men through unworthy means,
afford conclusive proof Of how easily
political immortality may be fostered.
Free suffrage requires none of the ex-
pensive machinery of clubs and caucuses,
and true republicanism can find no effec-
tive sanction save in that unpurchased
and unpurchasable consent which is the
sole fountain of authority. To make the
rewards of Office 80 great as to encourage
a corrupt ambition, and then to tax can
didates for the chance afforded them of
an election. furnish the sure
means of sapping the foundations of our
political virtue and of undermining our
whole political system.
In these matters We should 60 back to
the simplicity of the Father, and do
away with the expensive and corrupting
which, among all parties, con-
stitute the most conspicuous features in
political campaigns. If we act otherwise,
We overdo, and that, to our own undoing.
When the cry of reform is abroad We
should see to it that those who set them
'elves up as reformers should begin at |
he beginning. The means being corrupt,
he pretense of worthy ends may we'll be
doubted. Let our patriots strive to wisely |

trategy has been learned amiss, and all |
viii soon be well.

THE CONNECTION IN THE DEMOCRATIC
CAMP,

CAMP.
The apparent determination on the part
of the Republican Campaign Committee
to institute inquiries in the alleged cases
of fraudulent registration with view to
legal proceedings, has caused q most ex-
traordinary hutter in the Democratic
camp. This commotion is the more ex-
traordinary and unaccountable from the
fact that those who are the most excited
about it are gentlemen who are believed
to be properly registered and against
whom no proceedings have been threat
ened. It is we'll settled maxim that
only the CALLED jade winces. Those whose
withers are unwrung are neither touched
nor affected. Yet it is too plain to
admit of . doubt that this blow at
fraud has filed the Democratic
committee on registration with deep con-
Germ, created stir in the newspapers and
convoked q convention of lawyers, who
have resolved to undertake the defense,
free of charge, We suppose, though the
offer is not made in direct terms, of those
arrested or who may be hereafter arrested
on the charge of fraudulent registration.
About thirty legal gentlemen of assorted
degrees of ability and standing have thus
enlisted in this cheap enterprise of adver-
Using themselves, and it is given out that
the list is still open for signatures. The
singular part of this business is that there
is little likelihood that there will be any
clients to defend. If, in response to
mandate of the court, the suspected party
comes before the commissioner and shows
that he is properly registered, he will be
set at liberty. If he can not be
found, his name will be stricken
from the list, and neither he nor
anybody else will be permitted to vote on
the papers which have been issued to him.
And right here is where the shoe pinches
1t is known that several thousand persons
registered, such as sailors, laborers, and
even tramps and vagabonds, besides rep
utable citizens, have either long since
moved away, or died, or lost their regis
tration papers. Many of these documents
have been collected by Democratic agents,
and are now ready for use at the next
election. 1t is the old game which was
successfully practiced in 1874, by means
of which at least eight thousand fraudu-
lent votes were cast in this parish. But
the old trick will not succeed this year.
The Republicans have conceived plan to
flank it, and as the schemers have no sub
stitute, they are paralyzed with terror lest |
they shall be reduced to level of an hon
est vote. They see the danger is immi-
nent that they will be deprived of the |
luxury of voting on the papers of dead
men and absentees, and are as desperate |
as cornered rats.
Instead of quietly preparing to prove
that the suspicious of the Republicans
are unfounded, so far as the general run
Of the suspected names are concerned,

purpose
Though those other and less chivslroua
communities may not come up to our
standard of civilization, their opinions
and even their prejudices are entitled to
some respect, especially when they 20
riously affect our political and material
well-being. We have all q common IN
terest in building up prosperity fof our
section, and if making walking arsenals
of ourselves interferes with consumma-
ton 60 devoutly to be wished, We should
strive to be gentlemen without the aid OF
deadly weapons, and achieve prosperity
through peaceful and generally reputable
agencies.
If there be danger abroad it is Drawer to
20 unarmed than to have knives and pis-
tolls always at our fingers ends; and If
there be no danger, except such as We
through our own distempered violence
create, We should abstain from carrying
arms, for our safety and personal repute.
There is no knowing how much of blood
letting . little quarrel may kindle, and
how blind the justice Of knife and pistol
in the end may prove. The fair fame Of
Louisiana has suffered too much from the
readiness with which private malice and
political rancor find expression through
the pistols mouth and bowie's blade, to
encourage their use in future. They should
be buried with the Indians Ratchet and
the thugs death device.
Even the direct cost involved in the
carrying of concealed weapons, were the
incidental consequences entirely over

an impoverished community. Let us as
sumo that in our city population of two
hundred and twenty thousand, sixty thou

ing pistols or knives, as the case may be,
for the purpose of shooting or carving
their fellow-beings whenever sufficient

Of six hundred thousand dollars in Q cor
porate community, one-haf of the men,
bers of which are at their wits ends to
provide for the commonest necessities of
life.
It Is clear. therefore, that pistols and
knives are not paying institutions, in
either material or political point of
view. They are an impediment to that
which all reasonable men de-
sire, and a hindrance to the public virtue
which all should encourage. The az
yressive engineers who use them are con-
'tantly hoisted on their own petards, and |
thus minister to their own misfortunes. 1t |
