The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-03-16
Iohn D. Lees Last Hours.

To-day, in accordance with decision
from the earthly court of last appeal,
John d. Lee, the leader of the famous
Mountain Meadow massacre, will take
Brigham Young's place at the coffin,
and expiate the crime which the prophet
planned and applauded until its
punishment became certainty. Then,
with cowardice worthy of the cruelty
involved, both prophet and church
abandoned Lee to his fate, and now,
years after the grass has grown upon
the graves of his victims in that lonely
Utah field, Brigham's ''avenging angel"
becomes himself the victim of a ven-
geance that never sleeps. Prior to his
conviction (says the San Francisco Call)
Lee refused to tell living soul the
secret of his crime. Even his counsel
were deceived. He admits this. He
had such faith in Brigham and the
church, and they had done so much to
nurse and encourage this faith, that
the word guilty" came like a thunder
bolt. 1t was the very jury which the
church had selected as faithful and
WHOSE udlltS nau pteu StcIttly IndTkeu
on the jury list.
The Mormon church has utterly de-
serted him. Mormon leaders decreed
his death; Mormon witnesses rose up
and testified against him, and Nor
mon jury brought in the verdict of
guilty. TO escape he must violate his
word of honor, evade his guards and
find his way to Southern Utah through
country thickly settled with Nor
mons. any one of whom would return
him to justice. Most Of all, escape
would deprive him of the last hope Of
regaining the respect or sympathy of
mankind. His conviction was as much
surprise to himself as it was to the
world. Now that he has been SEN
fenced to be shot, and his appeal over
ruled, and his fate finally sealed, he
perceives, for the first time, the neces-
sity of proving himself not alone
guilty. OF death he has always talked
with surprising calmness; yet he, until
very recently, has not expected to die.
Ere the executioner's bullet pierces
John D. Lees breast, it is safe to pre-
dict that revelations will be made that
will render all his prisons historical.

Special Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, March ia special
cabinet meeting was held this after
noon. 1t was entirely devoted to the
consideration of appointments to Office
In cases where commissions have expir-
ed or are about to expire. No diplo.
matte or other appointments of general
interest were under consideration, and
there was no reference whatever to
southern matters.
Secretary Schwz has notified all
heads Of bureaus of the Interior Depart
ment that during his administration of
its affairs there will be no removals Of
clerks or other employees except for
cause, and no promotions except for
merit. 1t will, therefore, be useless for
persons to file papers soliciting clerical
appointments, or promotion on merely
personal or political grounds. In addi-
tion it can be stated that there are at
present no vacancies of any kind to be
filed.

LOUISIANA.
An Earnest Appeal.

New Orleans, March 15.-An earnest
appeal from the white Republicans of
Louisiana has been published, warning
the people of the United States against
the falsehoods and misstatements of
the Nichols party regarding the gen.
eral recognition of the Democratic gov
ernment in louisiana. 1t concludes !:
eve appeal therefore to our fellow cit
izens of the loyal states not to heed the
ISLANDERS published against us, and to
exert their influence to hasten that
assistance which should have come to
us upon the wings of lightning. JUS
tice delayed is oft times justice denied.
In conclusion, we respectfully but
earnestly ask, as we have right to de-
mand, that the hand of justice be
speedily extended to the lawful govern
ment in Louisiana, to the end::that the
Republicans of this state may not be
forced to follow the example of the
Nichols party and attempt to settle
legal questions by the use Of rife and
canon.
