SAN FRANCISCO, June 144The Virginia City
Chronicle publishes an Interview on the Nor.
mon question with VIM. w. Bishop, who de-
Tended John d. Lee. He states. from
an intimate personal knowledge of Mormon
affairs, If Brigham Young thinks he can
stand his trial and get clear there will be no
resistance. If he apprehends conviction, he
will certainly fight. His followers will GER
tainly stand by him TO the last man. Higbee,
Haight and Stewart can only be taken by
the superior force OF the United States. I'm
der the present jury system 1t is simply i'm
possible to convict any other assassins in
Utah.
9Hs Lee was convicted only because District
Attorney Howard succeeded in making Young
believe that by the conviction Of Lee, Utah
would be admitted into the Union as a State,
whereupon Young ordered his conviction for
the good of the church. District Attorney
Howard Is, he says, an honest and efficient
officer In every respect. The stories about him
keeping back portion OF Lees confession are
false, except that some parts were left out to
further the ends of justice, by agreement be-
tweed Howard and Bishop. Stillson's af1lda-
Wit he brands as false in every particular, and
gotten up In the interests Of the church.
The feeling against the Gentiles in Utah Is
very bitter. Those in Salt Lake City feel scr
cure, but in small interior towns much appre-
hension is felt. Should hostilities COM
mence the most of the fighting will be in
these small towns. Brigham Young has given
orders TO his people to cease all commercial
intercourse with the Gentiles In Southern
Utah and Eastern Nevada, but the order has
not been strictly obeyed

They Altogether Ignore Hayes and His
Policy.
TCincinnati Enquirer.l
PHILADELPHIA, May 31.--Col. Mcclure
says, in the Times tomorrow, that,
while the Republican leaders have
studiously refrafned from any open ag-
gressive assault upon the policy of the
President, they have shown their sullen
hostility in the most pointed and prac-
tical manner. Four county conventions
Of the party have been held In the four
Republican strongholds Of the party
Philadelphia, Lancaster, Allegheny
and Bradford.which gave an aggre-
gate majority OF 36, 500 for Hayes, more
than double the majority in the State.
The Republican Convention Of Phila-
delphia tabled q resolution, drawn in
the mildest form, expressing confidence
in the President, and Its consideration
provoked the harshest and most con-
temptuous epithets against him.
Lancaster, that gave nearly two thou
sand majority for Hayes, has had no
representative convention; but the
judges Of the party footed up the vote
for candidates, and separated without
80 much as notice OF their Republican
President.
Allegheny, that gave Hayes nearly
ten thousand majority, held full rep
resentative convention @ few days ago,
and twice deliberately tabled resolu-
ton approving OF the Administrations -
the last time ten only daring to vote for
it. Senator Cameron had been in the
county week or ten days before, and
the men who shared most in his couf-
sells and knew most Of his wishes, yelled
the loudest in crying down the Hayes
resolution.
Bradford, the Republican Gibraltar Of
the North whence come surveyor, a
deputy surveyor, and where the post
office Is the perquisite Of the old party
organ, that is owned by Surveyor Cam
eron-Goodrich &c Go. won, and the
President lost, an approving vote. The
State Convention has been postponed to
the latest day to escape immediate re-
sponsibility, and then the President will
be squarely or tacitly reproached, or be
disposed OF by significant silence, or
stabbed by qualified praise. The ticket
will be presented and the party told to
elect or defeat it, no matter which. AS
parties stand to-day, the whole Repub-
lican majority in the State last fall
would be lost In Philadelphia, Lancas-
ter and Allegheny, and the Democratic
majority in the other counties might be
anything from thirty to fifty thousand.

Especial to the Democrat.

Especial to the Demoerat.l
LONDON, June 14.-Twenty immense
masses of material which the Russians are
moving toward the Danube can scarcely be
lodged at the depots before the first Of July.
It is not, therefore, probable that any attempt
will be made to cross the river before that
time and this supposition is strengthened by
the present state of the Danube.
The army will certainly be on the alert on
account Of the Czars arrival at headquar-
ters, and therefore the Cars arrival Is
thought by some to be an indication of im-
mediate activity. II Is much more probable,
however. that this will be allowed 10 lose It's

In the face Of the fact that an internal
