terances led to the belief that he would
resist to the bitter end. The Demo.
Gratis are delighted as are extreme Re-
publicans. The latter believe the af-
fair Furnishes Hayes. A Cabinet off
Ger said to-day that Chamberlain has
acted with admirable wisdom and
firmness, and the country VIII APP
plaud his course.
This morning, Senator Patterson,
who earnestly urged Chamberlain to
contest his claims, expressed appre-
hension that he would formally sur
render when the troops were with
drawn from the State House. Patter-
son called at the White House to see
President Hayes and make a final re-
monstrance against the withdrawal of
the troops, but vas unable to see him
for the reason that the Cabinet was in
session. Upon learning of Chamber
lains withdrawal, Patterson said that
he was not surprised, but expressed
great Indignation at the course OF the
President, which made Cham herlain's
withdrawal a necessity. He says. now
that the President has recognized
Hampton, he (Patterson) is prepared to
recognize Hamburg Butler and TO vote
to admit him as a Senator from South
Carolina.

A Inter-Ocean Washington special
says: Cham berlain's sudden weaken
ing caused much surprise here, be-
cause his recent letters have indicated
a different course. He could have
prolonged the dispute indefinitely,
owing to the peculiar condition of the
courts, and he has received much en-
couragement to do so, but he is wise,
brave and generous, and doubtless
saw clearly hat it would all avail moth
ing and in the end would ruin him
personally, do damage to the State and
perplex the President. He saw that
while the great mass of Republicans
oppose this new Southern policy they
are willing to try the experiment. His
letter is generally commended as
manly and able but somewhat bitter.
The Story OF Lees COME ssiOn-A
Disclaimer from U. D.. District
Attorney Howard.
NEW YORK, April IL.
A Herald Washington special says:
A strange sequel to the tragedy of
Lees execution at Mountain Meadows
is contained in an official paper filed
yesterday with the Department of JUS
tice i'll Washington. This is no less
than the affidavit of Edwin Gilman, of
Salt Lake, who says Lee was induced
to make the confession to the United
States Attorney on promise, in return
for such confession, that he should re-
ceive a reprieve, and eventually a full
pardon. This promise, Gilman alleges,
was made to Lee by the District At
torney in furtherance of a plan to i'm
plicate, expose and punish all the
Mormon leaders from Brigham Young
down, who is believed to be concerned
in the Mountain Meadows massacre.
Gilman alleges that he was the go-be-
tween by the District Attorney to make
overtures to Lee for the confession,
and promised eventual immunity to
Lee in consideration of the disclosures
he should make. In his capacity of
guard in the penitentiary pen at
Beaver he had free access to the cell of
Lee and occupied quite a while in con-
Quoting the negotiations before a mu-
tual understanding had been reached
between Lee and tho District Attorney.
Gilman saw the confession of Lee, and
it was essentially at variance with the
one given to the public by the District
Attorney. The Herald further says,
editorially: OF course the suspected
officials deny the truth of all the state
ment charging them with collision
with the church authorities and sup
pressing evidence against Brigham
Young and his chief priests, yet a feel
ing OF deep uneasiness pervades Off
cial circles, and feverish protests OF

The National Reform Convention

day. During the afternoon David Nc
Allister, of Philadelphia, stated the
objects of tho association. which are t %

schools, the Sabbath laws, the oath,

President. He made a long
speech and said this association was
not formed to make a new party, but
to lay the foundation of what should
be in this nation a holy book, a holy
name and a holy day. He agreed that
the Constitution did not now embrace
the thoughts which it did when first
promulgated by our forefathers, who
did not anticipate the changes in the
religious sentiment of our people

by foreign immigration.
