"SAGEBRUsuER IN EUROPE. Hon. Tom Fitch, the silyer-tongued orator Ca beiit- ing SobriqueU according to announcement, and for the benefit of the Prescott Library Association delivered last evening, at the school house, lecture on "A Sagebyusher in Europe which surpassed in every respect anything heretofore rendered in Prescott. His descriptions of Europe could hardly have been better. and the idiom of different nations was excellent. The nall was filled with a highly intelligent class of our citi zeu>, and at half-past eight the orator was introduced to the audience by Hon. Paul Weber. For the space of an hour and twenty minutes the gifted speaker kept the audience chained to the glistening wheels of his oratorical chariot. StateSmanship. lyric,
 rrefutahle argument ornate in keen satire and incisive vii characterized the lecture by Mir Fitch. and when he closed in a brilliant peroration his hearers regretted the narrow
 limits of their opportunity of listening to him. The lecture throughout was master piece and elicited the most rapturous ap- plause. The lecture financially, as we'll as otherwise, was success, which will cause healthy addition Co the funds in the trcsury of the Prescott Library Association.

The desthis recorded at London a few sine, since of the Hon. John Lothron Motley one Of the most diS,i guiShed American citizens. The deceased was perhaps bette, known as au author than as a politician. al though in public life he earned deseryedlv high reputation aS a diplomat. NIT. Motley was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts. April l5, lSi4, and was consequently in hi, siNiy-iourth year He Sraduated at Harvard College lu 1881, and subsequently, spent a year at each of the universities of Gottin. gen and Berlin, completing his foreign edu- eaton by tour through southern Europe Returning 10 America he Was admitted to the bar m lS36, but early manifested a lit erary elas. In 1889 he published a novel of some merit: and was frequent contributor ;o the North American Review and other perodicals. In iS4l he waS appointed sec retary of the United States Legation at St. Petersburg, which position he soon afterward resigned. Abou; lS46 he began collecting materials for the great work of his life, the 'Rlse ot the Dutch Republic" which gave him world wide reputation. For several years he resided In Europe, consulting au- rhorities and state archives for the work In lS60-67 Mr. Motley published the His tory oi the tinted Netherlands from the death of William the Silent to the Twelve Years truce. l6O9." In 1864 he published the Life and Death of John Barneveld. Advocate of Holland. with q View to the Primary Causes of the Thirty Years War" and at the time of his death he was engaged writing a history of the Thirty Years War. His paper in the London Times on the ''Causes of the American Civil War" attrac- ted much attention. The republic of letters honored NIT. Motley.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE MONEY Eigh, years and half ago, Yavapai county was in debt only two thousand dollars. Since that time. no roads have been built or other pub lie improvements save the jail and three lit tie brick offices, and the county is in debt about Sl0,O0o, notwithstanding the tax payers have been heavily blcd with high taxation. We have, ourse!f. paid into the treasury of Iayapai county during our resi- dcnce of thirteen years in Arizona at least two thousand dollars, besides as much more contributed in working roads. and still we have no more privileges than a stage robbcr and not so many as a flunkcy who may have landed in our Territory but yesterday, and for aUght We know, fugitive from justice

The Mormon Situation.

The evidences Of g Mormon uprising are accommodating. Either the news reporters in Utah have chosen to become absurdly sensa- tionsl or some unusual movement is on foot in this American Zion. The country will be slow to believe that the reorganization of the Nauvoo Legion lmpo.tS a menace to the safety of GeatiieS residing in the Terri tory The Mormon leaders know that the murder of Gentle by q Mormon. no mat ter what the real provocation may have been, il is interpreted hy the country 10 mean s religious assassination. Brigham Young has been and will continue to be held re- sponsible for all the bloodshed in the Terri tory, and his hierachy would not at this day survive another Mountain Meadows mas
 sacre. Of all persons, II would seem he IS the most interesteJ in preventing violence. The latest phase of the situation, as reported from Salt Lake, Is to the effect that Brigham intends to gather l0,010 Indians in Thistle Valley. "to do the will of the Lord" To this end, Mormon settlers in that valley have been notified to leave. which would seem tc indicate that they are not willing the Indians -houid do thc will of the Lord upon them. This may afford clue to what Brigham means by the will of the Lord. but it is already understood that in this modern Judea. as in the ancient, the worst atrocities - those rf which devils should have been ashamed are ascgibed tn the Lord, IL Is not clear. however, where Brig ham is 10 gather his 10000 Indians from, and 1t Is still less clear how they can do the will of the Lord on sny extended scale in depopulated val cy. for i! is evident that the advent of the Indians and the hegira of the Normons will be sufficient warning to the Gentiles. Some things, however. are very clear. Among them may be noted the fact that if 10000 or any other number of Indi- ans are gathered in any valley of Utah, and make any hostile demonstrations. the United States troops will to the will of the Govern ment upon them summariiy, and if it were plainly apparent that Brigham Young had designed sny evil work for them, il would work the utter confusion and overthrow of Mormonism in this country. The stories bear closer resemblance to an attempt to prejudice the Mormon people before the countrr. and excite and cnra~e popular sen timent against thcn. than the sober report of any existing facts Record Union.
