Brignoli Is a superanuated donkey,
Forty years ago he could sing pretty we'll

faint echo offormer days, while his manners
never the best, have grown hoggish with
his age, Nobody goes to concert on his

shakes him the better. And the sooner
Ferranti and others, as well as Brignoli,
learn to treat people with ciyility the bet

men actually took hack by force

DR.. Lawrence, of Rock Island, employed
carriage to bring himself and family to
the Abbott Concert Wednesday evening
After the concert was over the Abbott
troupe took possession of the carriage. Dr.
Lawrence assured the stalwart Brignoli
that that was his carriage, whereupon the
gruf Italian remarked that "he didn't give
d-m if it was, they were going to
occupy it," and the doctor and his ladies
had to remain at the church until the
carriage returned from the Reese House.
This certainly wasn't very gentlemanly
trick in Brignoli, Notwithstanding his
reputed greatness, and one we are quite
sure Miss Abbott would not endorse

And THE ARGUS adds that after old Brig
nof had got into the hack, without permits
sion, and Ferranti and others were about to
get in the driver seized the door and
closed it, saying they could not have the
carriage. They pushed the driver forcibly
away, got in and he had to drive them to
the hotel or call the police and eject them
He should have done the latter. but
thought the former was the easiest mode
of getting rid of them.

LIEUT.. GOV. W1LTz.

The Natchtoches Vi,,dicator referring to
objections urged against our Lieutenant Gov.
ernof on the ground Of his being a young
man, says:
The main objection Urged against our
Lieutenant Governor, Wilts, Is that he is toe
votlua and too ambitious. and that he is not
conservative. In other words, Lieut.. Gov
Witt has developed the man at an earlier age
than they think Is right. and he has pre-
served, in all the dirty wreck Of political
bummerists In Louisiana, unsuiled skirts, and
is loud and calior-toned in his war against
fraud and its creatures, the rings Of Ne,c Or
leuns
We opposed the nomination Of Mr. Wilt
upon our ticket as Governor. but we were for
him strong for the second place. our opposi-
tiun sprung from no such causes as are put
forward as arguments against him by those
In whose way he stands In the accomplish
ment Of some sinister end.
Mr.. Wilt Is too popular; his honesty Of
heart and patriotism. Of purpose are too well
who do nothing for the State and people them
SELVES but furnish a certain amount Of patinch
and ponderosity to the party which. they
Halter themselves, renders it respectable.
We hand down these few remarks as a
country view Of the abuse of Mr.. Witt. by
certain parties in New Orleans, and they are
welcome TO al the comfort they can find in
them. One thing they can be assured of, Mr.
Witt E in full accord with the people OF this
State, and his views find response in the
heart of every man in this section.
II is certainly no argument against pub
lie servant TO say that he Is too young"
Many men have risen to great etninence
through the energy and intellectual vigor
and originality of youth. No sensible man
will undertake TO antagonize Mr. Wiltz's
aspirations on the ground that he is
d young man. But he, like all other
men in public. OF, for that matter, in
successful private life will have rivals and
opponents. some actuated by selfish motives,
some by honest and conscientious motives,
and some because they have sinister ends
TO accomplish. II would be poor certificate
of character for the Lieutenant Governor
were his friends to represent him as being
without an enemy or rival and as politi-
clan who had excited neither honest nor
malicious criticism.

TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.

Those Of orr citizens who are fortunate enough
TO he able TO setH respite from The iabors of the
business season just closed. and to recupefate
their energies at some Of the many delightful
summer resorts TO be found III the Northern
States ssd Canada, will be glad to learn that the
old favorite Jackson route, under vigorous and
efficient management, has become one Of the
very best travelling thorougbfares In the country
Hundreds Of thousands of dollars have been
expended, as we are eredibly informed. during
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails, new cross-ties and new bridges, aud TO- day
it may be safely said that no road south Of the
Ohio river stirpasses the great Jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during The past few weeks. to travel
quite extensively over that road and we can thus,
from actual experience, bear witness to is ex-
cellence in every particular which goes to consti
tute good road.

SHANNON TURNED UP.

A retired pirate or slave dealer in olden
set the evil deeds of his early manhood by be-
coming deacon in the Church or justice Of
the peace or by building some grand charita-
bio or religious institution. Nowadays the
graduates in the peculiar class of crimes most
prevalent in this country and monopolized
by the oarpet-haggers in the South, seek to
make atonement for their crimes and mis-
dongs by hieing 10 the North and becoming
Presidents OF societies for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals, of drunkenness and of
all other kinds of immortality and vice. eS-
cept those by which they have accumulated
the wealth which gives them a title to recop-
milton as great practical philanthropsts
The last example Of this sort of atonement
IL seen In the temperance In the are
ma of patriotic and philanthropic public
service of a certain parsonage who has been
long missed from the purleus of the United
States Courtrooms and the Custom House
of New Orleans, and whose transactions
were once the topic of frequent, though not
favorable comment in the newspapers of this
city.
We refer to the late United States Commits
sioner II. b. Shannon, whose dismissal for
fraudulent and corrupt practices by the
United States Judge dates back about year
ago. Now Shannon, during his brief term in
this city under the patronage OF Judge
Duroll, managed to acquire as bad reputa-
ton for all the shyster and earpet-bag vices

BRIGHAM YOUNG IMPLICATED.

The Washington correspondent of The New
York Herald throws new light on the
Brigham Young case. which gives an unex-
pected significance to the visit of District At
tornev Howard TO the capital.
II seems that under an old law Young, as
Governor Of the Territory, was ex-ot1icio In
dian agent, and had control of the distribu-
ton Of large sums of money and supplies to
the various tribes. His accounts were all
paid, and everything went smoothly until
1857. when irregularities were suspected, and
payment Of his quarterly accounts was re-
fused They were not paid for several years.
and then only after special action Of Congress,
based on an investigation by the department.
From the fact that District Attorney How
ard has asked for copies of Young's accounts.
il is believed that the confession of John d..
Lee related In some way to them. Among
these accounts is a vouch or, "No g." for 50,
527 AZ worth of goods, said to have been dis
tr.buted TO the Indians near Mountain Mead
ow. in 1857. the payment for which IL re-
ceipted for by one Levi Stewart This docu-
ment is dated September 81, 1857, and tho
Mountain Meadows massacres occurred on
the 10th of the same month and year. AT the
time of the investigation above referred to,
one Patrick Lynch testified that he hauled
in one wagon the goods spoken of In voucher
No Q. which was an impossibility.
He did not mean to commit perjury and
doubtless did haul some of them, but the
large bulk of them was near the spot at the
time.
The testimony goes to show that these
goods belonged to the murdered emigrants
and that Young after ordering their destruc-
tiOn distributtt thtfr effects ttfffeRts the In
dams and then made the government pay for
them.
This is plausible story and IL it prove
true il should seal the fate of Young and
Mormonism and wipe out summarily this blot
upon American civilization.

We may be doing the noble savage great
injustice, but we have a suspicion that he Is
not in sympathy with the spirit of the day
that is so clamorous for retrenchment and
economy. Our suspicion is based on the
singular coincidence that in three separate
instances he has defeated the economical
efforts of Congress by Immediately dissolving
his amicable relations with the government
and taking to the war path, thus compelling
an increase of the army and new appro-
pration. 1t is very strange that these coin
cidences should occur so frequently, but our
respect for the Indian ring and the post
trading gentry, who, of course, are more
Interested than anybody else in appropria-
tions, will not allow us to suspect that they
have anything to do with working up these
troubles. The troubles in Idaho and oregon
are gradually assuming the proportions OF an

nation that bears all the debasing marks OF
civilized thrift, seems to know that the ques-
ton of appropriations is about to come up

for corrupt and fraudulent practices and fol
an active encouragement Of crimes and ras
calities, as any of the gang If disreputable
men who made their nest inthat granite der
OF thievery and venallty. II appears that
Shannon has gone North and placed himself In
the forefront Of great missionary enterprise
for the prevention Of crime. Alta late meeting
Of an association for that purpose in New
York, 1t appears that he was called TO the
presidency and made most eloquent adj
dress, denotineing dram drinking as the chief
source Of the many crimes SO prevalent in
that city. In the course Of the said speech
President Shannon showed that there had
been 164 murders In the State, twelve Of which
were cases where wives were butchered by
their husbands, and that they were all due to
rum.
Had the ex-United States Commissioner
added an expose of the larcenies, populations
and perjuries, and other crimes, perpetrated
by the gang Of carpet-bag plunderers among
whom he was lately SO conspicuous, he would
have opened another field for the philanthropic
labors Of the Society for the Prevention Of
Crime Shannon is destined to shine In his
new character of philanthropist. A reformed
rake, 1t IL said, makes the best husband, and
a reformed drunkard like Cough becomes the
most eloquent denouncer of the evils OF In
ebriety. Why should not Shannon prove
equally eminent and effective In his new line
Of service and ambtionP
That little pending indictment for cotton
frauds may stand in his way for q time, but
that Is a matter that can be easily fixed up.
