Brigham Young is so weak he can
not walk. Now then, MI. Proctor
Knott, if you have anything against
the prophet, here is your chance.
Three of Westinghouse, Sd cousins
are living in poverty at Gordonsville
Kentucky. If they could only turn
themselves into rebel monuments,
they would be amply provided for
within thirty days.
The new Secretary of the Navy
having been Informed that there
were buoys belonging to his depart
ment in New York harbor, immedi-
ately issued an order commanding
them to report to their ships without
delay "Disciplin6i is discipline" says
the old salt, "and 1 will have it ifI
have to skin every boy in the lavy."
At the recent election license and
anti-licensa being the issue, license
carried the day in Shenandoah Iowa.
And then the powers that be en-
powered by existing laws gently but
firmly placed licenses at the no lerate
sum of S13, 900 per annum. And the
hcensers smile grimly and say that
five or six more such victorie. would
be very discouraging indeed.
A few days ago a tiend in human
shape displaced some rails on an Iowa
railway and threw a passenger train
from the track. The villain was cap
tured and the indignant passengers
were about to hang him on the spot,
when the conductor announced that
the disaster had killed a prize pack
age man. Then the passengers lttup
on the rope, begged the wreckcr,s
pardon, called him their preserver
and took up purse of $500 for him.
The democratic state committee of
Connecticut has just decided that the
safest and best and speediest plan for
securing democratic success, is the
destruction of the republican party.
There is political wisdom for you.
If the astute committee had remain
ed in session an hour or two longer,
it might have. occurred to it that
quite possibly the same end might be
attained by securing sufficient num-
Der of democratic votes to defeat the
republican candidates.

Mr.. Redfield, In letter to the Gin
ciunati Commercial, warns the Re-
publicans that it will not do to trust
to Providence too often, and that un-
less they improve their present op-
portunity it will be their last one.
He says "The devil and the De-
mocracy may get them next time
without further Intervention of
Providence, unless the promised re-
forms are carried into effect. Never
had "a party better opportunity to
redeem itself and build upon an en-
during foundation. The seat of po-
litical power is in the North, and a
majority of the voters of every
Northern State prefers the Republic
can party as long as it behaves itself.
If the incoming Administration full
fills the expectations of the country,
the party will be invincible in 1880.
1t is very much easier for the Re-
publican party to remain IN power
than for the Democracy to get in.
Those who doubt that God rules in
the affairs of men, who do not be-
lieve that the Creator exercies power
over the thing created, but leaves all
to blind chance, must at least admit
that luck is sadly against the Democ-
racy. Last December they had four
teen points in their favor where the
Republicans had one. Yet, either
by Divine guidance or superior
craftsmanship, the Republicans have
won every single disputed point,and
done it without the aid of q soldier
or the firing of gum"

eight whites and about five hundred
indians there. Then Major Highly
Imade speech, and said that the en-
rants were all to be killed who
Muld talk; that we must get them
lsout of the fortificatious by treachery.
IN Friday night, September IL, the
Eemigrants had white flag flying,
|sAnd the Mormon brethren again as
Fsembled. Speeches were made and
Eall expressed themselves as willing
70 act. Major Highly harangued the
party, saying it was the orders of the
PRESIDENT that the party should be
put out of the way. They buried
1.-The dead and drove the cattle to the
kIrOn Springs. 1t was a duty they
Aiwed to the church
Vie flag of truce was then sent for
ward. The bearer was met half way
by the emigrants, and they held a
parley with him. He then returned
and reported that the emigrants
would surrender their arms and do
as they had been requested. The
Mormon soldiers then marched out
to within 200 yards of the emigrants.
They next took wagons and went to
the camp and stated their orders.
The emigrants then surrendered and
put their arms, the sick and the
wounded and the children into the
wagons. While they were burying
their dead men the emigrants burst
into tears and sail they feared
treach, ry. AS soon as the wagons
were loaded the train was started.
The emigrants marched in single file
the women and the large children
ahead, then the men came. When
the wagons were half mile off the
fire commenced. The Indians killed
all the women and large children !;
the Morrlons killed the men; the
drivers, with Lee, killed the sick and
wounded. We saved seventeen of
the children. The dead were stripped
and mutilated and the corpses left
on the field. The Mormons camped
on the field. They buried the dead
and drove the cattle to the Iron
Springs. Brigham Young told him
(Lee) not drop of innocent blood
had been shed. He (Young) said he
bad direct evidence from God that
the act was just one, and he would
report to the United States that it
was an Indian massacre. The mar
rrative then continues to show that
the Mormon leaders originated the
massacre, and the responsibility,
therefore, is with them. He (Lee)
only obeyed the orders of his superb
ors. Haight also told him he had
deserved we'll of God and the
Church. VIM. G.. Stewart was the
most bloodthirsty of any one there.
He cut thrOats just for amusement,
Klingingsmith, the Bishop at Cedar
City, killed man. Every one there
took part in killing men, women and
children as a religious duty. / am

My journals and private writings
have been destroyed by order Of
Brigham Young. l know of many
other murders, castrationS and rob-
berries committed by order of the
priesthood. The story names about
thirty whites who were present in
Guiding Bishop Smith, of the Nor
mon Church. In sermon at Cedar
City, subsequent to the massacre,
Brigham Young, said if any one in
formed on the authors they would go
to hell and be damned as lost souls.

There is something sublime in the
courage of some Democratic editors
who are trying to work people into

THE tenacity with which the
Chinese cling to their ancient insti-
tutiOnS is illustrated in recent i'm
perial decree published in the pekin
Gazette, announcing the death of the
Duke K'ung Siangk'O, lineal success
Sor to the sage Confucius, and
the proper board to report sa to
the marks of imperial favor to be
accorded in connection with the fu-
neral rites. ConfuciuS was born SOL
years B. c., and the first hereditary
distinction bestowed upon the senior
member of his house was conferred
b. G.. 202. a record containing the
pedigree of the family for seventy
one generations was published in the
last century, giving biographical
skerches of each individual in the
long succession of the principal re-
representatives. of the house from the
death of the founder and written rec
ordS of the lives of the ir successors to
the present time are doubtless in ext
istence. The title of the head of tie
family has varied somewhat under
different dynasties, but for the past
eight centuries he has borne desig-
nation or rank which is equivalent
to Duke in the English language.
The descendants Of ConfuciuS from a
distinct class in Chinese society some-
what like the Levitical order of the
ancient Jews; and in 1871 there were
1l,000 males alive bearing the family

fourth generation. The late K'ung
Siang-K'o, as head of the Confucian
clan, enjoyed the dignities and emol-
uments Of a noble of the first class the
family estate covering an area of not
less than l65, 600 acres. The functions
of the Dukes of K'ung are of strictly
sacerdOtal character and they are not
at liberty even to visst the capital
without express permission from the
throne.

Mount Savage Letter.
Mt. SAVAGE, Oct. 9, 18

Mt. SAVAGE, Oct. 9, 1877.
Mr.. Editor The election is draw
ing near; before it is too late I, and
many others no doubt, would like to
hear something of the good and bad
deeds of the candidates on the differ
ent tickets, especially on the Work
ingmens. The voters want to kno W
what kind of man is the person they
are asked to vote for. 1t will be too
late to set their good qualities before
the public when the election is past,
and, may be, the best men in the fed
defeated. Now is the time to bring
it out.
There are some candidates out that
if I had a thousand votes they should
not have one of them. Among whom
is Mr.. Andrew Spier, of Cumberland,
on the Republican ticket for State
Senate. My reason for this was stat
ed in my last letter-that is, discharg-
ing men for not loading two tons
Any of your readers that have that
letter with them, should read it again
and put the bulk Ct it on Mr.. Spier
When man is such a tyrant where
he has only the few under his control
what will he be when he, with few
others, will have the interests Of
many hundreds of under their hands
to do or not to do what the people
want them to do? When man is a
little tyrant, let us not give him place
to be "a bigger one. If Mr.. Spier gets
more power than he has, We don't
know what rev tyranny he may try
to put on the miners of this region
There is one thing sure-there will be
no use to look to him and his kind tc
make laws that will compel the oper.
Ators of the mines around here tc
give their men just weight. He is
| the wrong man there; we want mel
that will try to do good for Us as 8
class of p e. Therefore, let US dc
our best to-get good --4u in offices
and keep mel o1 this kind out.
Yours, CYMRo.
