Kars-The Victory and the spofls'
The capture of this renowned fortress by
the Russians on the night of the 18th
marks period in the history OF the
war and gives the victors an enor-
nous advantage over their enemy. The
manner of the capture, by direct assault
at night and with scarcely one man more
than the defenders could muster, furnishes
one Of those exceptional instances where
combined courage, skill and good luck ope-
rate harmoniously in the accomplishment of
an extremely dangerous and difficult under
taking. The plan of the Notifications Of
Kars which we published yesterday will
give the reader a correct idea as to the area
enclosed by the defences, and how we'll the
latter were arranged for their purpose. 1t
is evident that the Russians felt the neces-
sity of doing something desperate toward
closing the siege by the capture of Kars,
for a winter encampment on the bare,
storm swept plateaus and ridges around
the fortress or retreat was the
alternative which the Russians would be
forced to accept. Hence this sudden,
daring and successful rush on the fortifca-
tions by which the key of Armenia is once
more in the hands of the Gear and the
prestige of his army restored. The de-
tails of the night assault are not >yet
to hand, but enough is known to
indicate that prolonged and bloody
struggle took place before the Russians
were masters of Kars. Under cover of the
darkness the two most accessible fronts Of
the place-namely, that of the entrenched
camp on the south, fanked by Forts Hatiz
Pacha and Suwarri, and of the old English
line on the north-were simultaneously
attacked by the Russians led by Lazeretf,
Grabbe, Komarof, Roop and other sub
ordinate commanders General Loris Nell
koff directed all the movements for the
Grand Duke Michael
The dominating forts Of the Kars system
namely Arab Tabia and the great work on
Kara Dagh--were the last to be captured,
and this fact alone shows how desperate
were the chances against the Russians Had
the attack been seriously checked during
the night, SO rs to afford the gunners of the
chief forts u chance to open hre on the assault
ing forces exposed on the open, bloody re-
pulse might have resulted. But the measures
to insure success taken by the Russian COM
mander were carefully considered, intelli-
gently understood by the leaders in the
assault and most brilliantly executed by the
troops. Kars has fallen, all its garrison are
prisoners and the accumulated stores Of
food and munitions Of war, three hundred
pieces of cannon, mostly Krupp guns, arms,
standards-in fact everything the place con-
tains, is seized by the victors. But we
are glad to learn that in the moment of
triumph the Russian soldiers spared the per-
sons and property of non-combatants. The
slaughter Of the garrison has, however, been
heavy, for the defence was obstinate. It is
estimated that about five thousand Turks
and two thousand seven hundred Russians
were killed and wounded during the at
tack, but that fully ten thousand of the
Sultan's soldiers are prisoners. To the in
habitants the fall of Kars must come as
blessing to the Turks it is an irreparable
disaster to the Russians glorious victory.

Bring Him to the Bar of Justice

1t now turus out that the late Chic
Justice Titus, of Arizona, and formerly
of this city, had in his possession the
order given 10 murder the emigrants
who fell at Mountain Meadows in April,
1857. This order, which has beer
published since the execution of Lee
furnishes positive proof that Brigham
Young was the protector of the mas
sacre. General Wells, who issued the
diabolical order, states in it that Pres
ident Young advises that they should
be all killed" Wells suggests thai
"every precaution should be taken aud
see that no one escapes" Judge Hughes
who was associated with Judge Titu:
as lag partner, states that the latter
never doubted the genuineness of the
order or the guilt of Brigham Young
As the document was sworn to By per-
sons as being the original received by
the officer In command Of the escort
from v els, il seems to US that the su-
thorities should be able to bring Brig
ham Young to trial for issuing the in
famous order. Lee was but the tool in
the hands of this Eoary-headed aud
sanetimenious villain. He has man
aged to escape punishment for his in
numerable crimes, and it is about time
that strong effort be made to bring
him to the bar of justice.-.North finer

Love Marriage-Indignant
Parents

The Columbia Courant says Marietta
has had frst-class sensation, and the
marriage of Stephen Musser to Miss
Lizzie Frey has furnished gab for the
gossipers for week or more. Recently
the above couple we're married, and
when the fact was found out, it raised
a Muss in the Musser family. The
mother of the unsophisticared youth
seriously objected to the match, aud
caused a card to be published in the
papers disclaiming and repudiating his
marriage vows, whereupon the Metbo-
dist clergyman who married the happy
pair walizes out and publishes a card
stating that be solemnized the marriage
of the parties, and that it was legally
and lawfully done with full and tree
consent of all parties, and in presence
OF witnesses, and the newly married
pair manifested the uttermost devotion
for one another But it is said the
course of true love never did run smooth,
while the poet, Addison, says;
| All love, uncertain treasure,
Hast thou neither pain nor pleasure
Endless torments dwell about thee,
Yet who would live and live without thee
The Mussers, who wish to be little
society toned, rePudiate the marriage of
their son to Miss Frey, who is respect
able, accomplished and in every way
worthy of the love and devotion of the
young man who took her for better or
worse, aud is bound to care, provide,
comfort and support her. 1t is said
that counsel bad been engaged on both
sides, but the last report is that the
groom has left for parts unknown.
