JOHN ID. LEE.

Something more than a year ago oul
readers we're appraised Of the capture o.
Lee, one Of the participants in the
MOUNTAIN Meadow Massacre" which
occurred more than twenty years ago
The different steps in the progress of the
trial have been rchearsed in our columns.
On Friday last, upon the very ground
where about one hundred and thirteen
men, woman and children were butc.:ered
by Mormons and ,he Indians, John D.
Lee paid the penalty Of his crimes. 11av
ing been convicted lie was allowed to
choose between death by hanging and
one by shooting, and he selected the lat.
ter mode, and on Friday, in pursuance of
the terms Of his sentence. he was shot to
death. Since his execution statement
prepared by him since his trial has been
published, in which he gives 4 circum
s,antial account Of tho whole affair, i'm
plicating large number Of the Mormon
leaders, including Brigham Young. The
tale as told by Lee is in all respects most
horrible, and is, no doubt, very nearly true.
1t shows that the Mormon leaders were a
sort Of inquisition, the DEGREES Of which
were executed without hesitation or re.
morse, and that the career Of the Mormon
Priesthood has been bloollstained and
cruel ever since the tragedy at Nauvoo.
OF the guilty participation OF Lee there
can be no doubt, and the world will ap-
prove the judgment which has been exc.
cuted upon him, but justice will not be
satisfied until others more prominent in
Mormon society than Lee was, shall have
paid the penalty Of their crimes. 1t
should be said that Investigations are in
progress which may lead to full dis.
covcry, and bring within the reach Of the
Law all now living who were controlling
spirits in the preparation of that terrible
butchery.

The authorities at Washington, have
begun to investigate what is called the
Minnesota Pine Land Ring. There has
long been suspicion that certain Of the
Lumbermcn of the State have been man
aging their business in way, neither just
nor profitable 10 the United States. No
facts have been developed thus far which,
have any public significance, hence there is
nothing definite 10 state beyond the mere
fact that the work of investigation is in
progress. We shall present the results as
soon as any have been achieved.

ACROSS three Thousand miles of ocean,
the potatoe bug has travelled. The tele-
gram says he landed in Bremen last Sat
urday, and seemed bent on business the
moment of his arrival. When he started
from Colorado, says an exchange, there
were persons who affirmed that he could
never cross the Mississippi; but he did
Then we had assurances that he could not
possibly scale the Alleghanies; but he
seemed to enjoy the exercise. Finally the
pnblic mind felt certain that the Atlantic
Ocean would end his career, and although
we could not perceive how he was going to
sail across the billowy waste upon a chip
we were confident he would cross somehow.
And now it seems that with his usual sa-
gacity he took passage in steamer. He
will probably move straight across Europe
to Asia, ravage Asia, and take steamer
at Hong Kong for our Pacific coast. But
is it not remarkable with what indomita-
BILE persistence this extraordinary insect
moves eastward?

Hon. Samuel J. Randall started out to
be one of the worst filibusters in the Ma
tional House Of Representatives. The
cause Of his sudden change of base is said
to be traceable to polite notice that Lewis
w. Cassidy, Esq, or some other conser-
vative Democrat would not unlikely be
his successor. This frightened Samuel
and he at once became conservative
Republican.
Lewis G. Cassidy (not W. does not live
in the district-hence he is ineligible, ac-
cording to Democratic usage. Mr.. Ran
dali was not frightened by the opposition
ofany conservative Democrat in the dis
trict. The only aspirant for his place is a
Pilgrim Democrat, who has better thing
in the Building Commission, and the Sher-
ifs model reform office, than any pickings
about Congress. Samuel j. Randall is
houest able and Democratic in its true
sense, and he can represent his district as
long as he desires to do so-he is neither
a Pilgrim nor plunderer. Will the Ere

anything?

THIS country has not been alone in ex-
periencing hard winter. Foreign dis
patches represent the cold as having been
singularly severe in Russia, and Hungary
has just had an enormous snowfall. Eu-
rope has experienced several storms Of
great severity in the past season; the one Of
January 81 will long be remembered. The
cities of Holland and Belgium were among
the chief sufferers by that storm, which
inundated large portions of Ostend, food
ed all Antwerp's streets with three feet Of
water, and did great damage at Mechlin,
Termonde and Rotterdam. Meanwhile
the antipodes have been having the reverse
extreme of weather. At the Melbourne
observatory the thermometer reached in
December over 10 degrees in the shade,
and at other localities in Australia 1l6

this proof Of his wifes in6dslity and the
true reason of her refusal to marry him
publicly. He hastily left the room, wrote
her bitter letter, and at once left Califor'
mia, taking care to conceal his whereabouts
from the knowledge Of bis wife.
On receiving the letter poor Miss Heron
was thunderstruck. It was long time
before she discovered the cause of her hus-
bands strange behavir, and then she wrote
to the journalist letter, which is still in
existence, begging him to repair
the injury he had unwittingly done her.
This, it is said, was done, but matters had
gone too far for reconciliation, and Miss
