A LARGE FAMILY PAYS.

There are people who insist that large
family does not pay, and they have the
reputation Of being sensible people, too.
But they must be mistaken. Now 1t Ia
foolish to make an assertion unless II can
be readily supported by sound and con.
vincing logic. We, therefore. refer 10 the
Mormon LEES case for logic aud argument
in support of our assertion that the belief
with some that large families do not pay IL
mistake. LEE is the father Of family
family which might be called mammoth.
It's ramif1cations extend into every portion
Of the Territory of Utah. There Is scarcely
q valley in all that region Of country but
what daily hears the voice OF one Of his
offspring or the voice Of one Of tho Off
spring Of his offspring. and although they
make an army Of men who stand ready to
avenge the coming death of their aged
sire, on whose soul rests the
crime Of the brutal Mountain Meadow
massacre, they. the sons, grandsons
and great.grandsons, each and every
one OF them. solemnly and before
their several wives swear that the man or
men who attempt to kill the old man shall
by them be made to stand upon this bank
aud shoal Of time and jump the life to
come" They say they will have 'Judg-
ment here" This announcement has
placed the Utah authorities in predica-
ment. They cannot find anybody who is
willing to shoot the old man according to
instruction, and for that matter in any
other way. Here at least Is q case where
large family comes in quite conveniently.
JOHN LEES large family pays him. 1t
has at least frightened the whole of Utah,
and made executioners as scarce as hen 8
teeth, and everybody who has investigated
the matter will sustain Us when we say
nothing 10 scarcer than hens teeth unless
1t be Democrats who are willing to support
Mr.. TILDES for President 10 1880.

fhct 10 well known that over three millions
OF dollars worth Of gold was taken from
the Black Hills last season, and that there
are several mines there which are paying
from one 10 two thousand dollars per diem.
This will be sufficient temptation to draw
to that charmed bourne large portion of
our floating population in the East.
Thousands are on their way and thousands
are Masking preparations to go there as
soon IS spring fairly opens. These people
must feprotecied. They must have law
and order. and not disturbance and
anarchy. which must necessarily happen
unless form Of government Is established
under which they can live Ia peace
and security. II is quite natural for the
Dakota people to object to the bill which
was unanimously reported by the Senate
committee. They would like to retain the
wealth Of the Hills within their borders.
They long fof the possession of the charmed
bourne. But there are other rights to be
respected aside from those Of the Dakota
people. The United States Is especially
interested In tho development Of this rich
region. The people of the Hills are anxious
to secure good government ct home in
place Of the one they now have situated

BIGGISs Is q man with some rights which
we are bound to respect and others which
are OF no particular consequence. In the
first place, BLOOMS. If memory serves us
right, Is the man who was before the In
sane Asylum investigating committee and
testified that he had once been member
Of that institution, and while there the
President often visited him. BY his own
testimony 1t was sscertained that he occu
pied small apartment; that he retired
early; that he always bolted hts door. and
that the President visited him generally
aboul midnight. But when the question
was asked, "BIooISs. how did his Excel
lency get into your room IL the door was
lockedf" BIeeISs replied with sanctimoni-
Gus gravity: His body remained outside
while his spirit came through the keyhole
and conversed with me-
This was BLOOMS as q witness. Bot
now We have BrGGIss as a complainant,
and what . changel As q witness the
spirit Of his Excellency simply crawled
through the key hole, and made BLOOMS
friendly call. But with Blooms as com.
plainant 1t seems that the real flesh and
blood Of his Excellency did appear to him
on the Goth day Of November. 1874. and
according to the indictment did beat
bruise. ill.treat and falsely imprison
him, said BIoGINs, by compelling him TO
60 under guard from said city Of Washing
ton on board train Of railroad cars to the
city Of New York. and then and there with
force and arms compelled him, the said
plaintiff. to embark on board the steamer
Italy. and sail from thence To Liverpool,
England, without any reasonable or prob
able cause Whatsoever, contrary to law and
against the will Of said Blooms, by means
whereof the said BLOOMS was further
falsely imprisoned, greatly subjected to ex.
penses and Losses to his great damage to
the amount Of 100000. This Is the way
the lawyers put it. and 1t gives Blooms
hopes. But after all 1t is not every man
who can have the honor of being damaged
100000 worth by the Chief Magistrate Of
the Republic, and there are but few men
who can find lawyers willing to detract
from honors thus secured by sueing for
those damages. Between Blooms, the non
eompo' and Blooms. the complainant.
with his lawyers attached, there seems to
be a pressing necessity for al enlargement
of the old asylum on yonder hill.

reason to express our belieftha the Eastern

between Russia and Turkey. This view
has been so fully corroborated by succeed

now think Of going home as soon as the

And these notions, it is entirely safe to cay,
will be maturtd as soon as the European
heads of Government and diplomacy have
gone through their slow and somewhat
tedious process Of meditation, preparation,
consultation and magnificent formality.
The Servisns. after getting their hands
burned pretty badly. were the first to con-
clude peace, and their confederates Of
Montenegro are now trying to follow in
the wake Of q welcome precedent. The

WILL PACKARD SORTIE,

appeared and disappeared last January. It
comes, however. In q more threatening

he cannot maintain 1t by peaceful me,s-
uns. And that he cannot, Is evident He
has made brave fight SO fai. but his re-
sources are gradually giving out. 1t takes
money TO run State government. This
money is always secured by taxation. But
the people OF Louisiana do not seem In.
clined to pay taxes while living under
dual form Of government So they
arc leaving both NICHOLS and PACK.
AND TO sustain themselves. In this
predicsment NICHOLS has the advantage.
He has PACKARD besieged 10 the State.
house. He has stolen his arms. seized his
police stations and gobbled the Supreme
Court. PAcKARD's forces are like tho be.
sieged in a fortress with provisions ex.
hausted and ammunition all gone. His
only hope Is to make sortie, obtain con-
troll Of the police stations and court house
and secure as much Government property
as possible and as many supplies as can
practically be obtained. Such . sortie
means blood-streams of 1t. The blood
Of both whites and blacks will course
through the streets Of New Orleans on tho
heels Of PAcKARD's proposed sortie.
NICHOLS promises peace If the United
States troops are Withdrawn. PACKARD in.
tends to fisht for existence as soon as they
are Withdrawn. Aud here we have =
dilemma at once with two horns, and 1t
takes great deal of quiet consideration to
decide which horn to seize. The situation
isgrave. The city Of New Orleans Is in a
fever ofexcitement. Rumors of outbreaks
are floating about as plentiful as leaves on
the strand at autumn time. The negroes
are arming. The whites are arming. There
seems to be blood on the face Of tho m Don.
and great deal Of it.
There Is heavy burden n Louisiana
which the whole country is compelled to
carry. 1t weighs down every other con.
sideration at present. 1t is becoming more
and more irksome every hour. The time
is at hand when portion Of 1t must be
thrown overheard from the ship OF State.
Which shall II BET NICHOLS or PAcKARpe
A few days more and the question will be
answered. 1t may come through blood,
but we hope through peaceful measures.

South Carolina and Louisiana.

All the signs, says tho Albany Journal, In
dictate that the Presidents plan OF carrying
ont his policy will be as wise and practicable
as the policy itself Is patriotic and statesman
like. He will not be hasty In conclusions or
precipiiate In action. He will carefully and
thoroughly review the ground, and then will
adopt what seems to be the most feasible aud
judicious method Of reaching Just results.
The general principles are fixed-the particu-
lars remain to be wrought out through practical
experience.
The question is not free from complications
and endorsements. Take the case of South
Carolina, which Is substantially repeated In
Louisiana. Here are two rival governments,
with two Governors and two Legislatures.
Neither has clear and absolute title. Both
arc surrounded with difficulties. Whether
CHAMBERLAIN had majority Of the votes 40
tuslly cast or not, II is certain that he would
have had such q majority n the election had
been free. On the other hand. the brains and
property Of tho State, all the forces which
give strength and vitality to . government,
are with HAMPTON. II CHAMBERLA AIN has the
better title, HAMPTON is the only one who can
sustain himself. When II comes to the Legis-
lature, there are wrongs on both sides. 1t 10
doubtful whether either has lawful quorum.
Under such circumstances, how is the diff
Guilty to b nett To recognize HAMPTON
without qualification would be to disregard
what may be the Just title Of CHAMBERLAIN,
ard tolesve the Republicans of the State In
questionable position. To recognize CHAM
RERLAIs would require the continued support
Of the army, and prolong the deplorsble con-
dition Of aiisirs which has brought so much
trouble. Is mot the true solution some such
method Of adjustment as Mr.. WHEELER &C
eomplished in Louisiana-an adjustment
equitable In It's terms, aud securing the &C.
quiescence Of both sidesi In that case the
question Of the election and Of the title will DO
avoided. Everything indicates that the Presl-
dent will adopt this course.
