PLETE
From the Richmond Enquirer.
Serious charges against Mormon leaders multiply.
Nearly all the links in the circumstantal chain have
been found and it thought the responsibility for The
Mountain Meadows massacre will certainly be liked on
Brigham Young. Great credit is due the New YORK
HERALD Tor its good work performed to the end that
the Mormon miscreants may be'unm asked.
THE HERALD AIDING JUSTICE.
From the wlkesbarre Record
the NEW YoRK HERALD continues It's researches in
Utah It will make the conviction OF the Mormon lead
ers easy. The HERALD representatives doing what
the authorities Of tho government should do.
