ticipation in the massacre of party Of gen.
tile emigrants, on the plains id 1857, suffered
the extreme penalty of the law last Friday.
According to the laws of Utah, condemned
criminal has the right to choose the mode in
which he may be put to death, and in this
instance the convict elected to be shot Just
previous to the execution, the authorities ap-
piled to Gen. Sherman for detail of soldiers
to carry into effect the sentence Of the Court,
but the commanding General of the army de-
clined to grant the request, OIL The ground that
it is no part Of the duty of the army to exc.
cute the process of the civil courtsLa discov-
ery which seems to have been made at very
late hour. A telegram from Salt Lake gives
the following account of the execution: "a.
John D. Lee was shot at Mountain Mead
ow to-day, at 11:30 A. NJ. At II o'clock,
precisely, Lee was brought out upon the scene
of the massacre before the executing party,
and seated on his coffin, about twenty feet
from the shooters. After the order Of the
court was read to him, Lee made speech of
about 500 words, bitterly deuoupcing Brig
ham Young and calling himself a scapegoat
for the sins Of others. He hoped God would
he merciful. He denied that he was guilty Of
bloodshed to the last, and maintained that
his mission to the Meadows was one of nner-
cy. After his speech, Parson Stokes, Metho-
dist, made prayer, commeuding the soul of
the condemned man to God. Immediately
after this a handkerchief was placed over
Lees eyes. He raised his hands and placed
them on the top of bis head, sitting firm.
Marshal Nelson gave the word, "6rel and
five guns fired, the balls penetrating the body
in the region of the heart! Lee: fell square
back on bis coffin, dead. Death was instan-

y. .WAsH1NeTo5Nx, b. G., March 81, 1871: Z.
A. newspaper published in Washington, ex- si
isting as d mere fungus, represents me Id at
editorial paragraph to-day "A In 2faver' of
Chamberlain, accompanying the statement
however, with an attack equally tfaases and
malignant, which shows its disbelief of it's own
representation, as it would hardly attack me
for giving in my adhesion to the man whose
failing cause it supports. have traced the
report TO the 'Chamherlain committee now in
this city, and beg leave through your columns
to denounce it as infamouslY false ,-r'.se,
In order to give tho report some color. the
persons referred TO have repeated q remark Of
mine, severed from its context and without
the accent that gave my true meaning. III
reply to question BY one Of the committee
last evening" said, eyes, i will recognize
Chamberlain as. Governor rauhe,ieuer President
Hayes recognises him as such" But that re-
cognition is impossible. l am certain, that
the President will withdraw the troops. from
the State house In the next four Of Eve days,
and then Chamberlain's pretended authority
will instantly orumble, &c. ~ I. .1aao7si
Permit me to add that no recognition of
Chamberlain by the President can s6ect. in the
slightest degree, the relation to him held BY
those who sustain the authority Of Governor
Hampton, except to intensity, if'possibls, the
resistance to Chamberlain's government, by
Withdrawing Hampton himself as: an active
agent, clothed with official authority, to main.
tain the public peace. No act Of the .Presi-
dent can change the fact that the same COM
missioners of election who returned the Hayes
and Wheeler electors as elected made the
returns that show that Hampton was also
elected. Chamberlain claims an election by
virtue Uf the unlawful exclusion of all the
votes cast In Edgefeld and Laurens from the
canvass of the vote for Governor and mem.
bers of the Legislature, = ~ cn.t ,s,,. >.
The absurdity Of this position is made man
ifest by the fact that the votes cast ID those
counties were all counted ia the canvass Of
the vote for Presidential electors This fact
appears in the minutes of the board Of State
canvasses- Governor Hampton's, title,t thus
derived from his election by the people, and
solemnly affirmed By the courts, will be sus-
tanned by the people fsouth Carolina at all
hazards. '-7 . ''' '4iv 't.'3' - u s'a2

Patition for Pardon.

Efforts are still being made in Milan to
procure enough signatures of prominent
citizens to petition to induce the COVER
nor to pardon Henry Wilson, who was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary at the May
term of our circuit court for two years and
a half, on his plea of guilty to the bur-
glarizing of Mrs. Lucy Bickmore's house,
near Milan.
MarshaEMcLain says that Wilson was a
well-known and worthless scamp. who was
supported by his wife. and he thinks that
when he was sent to the penitentiary it
was the best thing that could have hap
pened to his family.
