MR. EDIToR-H is currently reported
that MIR. l.. /. ramsey has been re-
moved from the Customhouse Office at
Leesburg. We are glad to soc that the
dark clouds which have so long been
towering over our much troubled par

of prosperity have again begun to
shine upon us. We consider this a fa-
vorable epoch in the HISTORY of Came
ron, and hope that the offices OF our
eoontry may soon be Il Led by our OWL
people, those who have an interest in
its progress.
May all carpet-baggers be treated
likewise and be compelled
/" To fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away"

SAN FRANCISCO, June IA. The
Virginia City Chronicle publishes
an interview on the Mormon ques-
ton with VIM. w. Bishop, who
defended John ID. Lee. He states,
from an intimate personal knowl-
edge Of Mormon affairs. if Brig
ham Young thinks be can stand
his trial and get clear, there will
be no resistance. III be apprebepds
conviction, he will certainly fight.
His followers will certainly stand
by him to the LAST man. Higbee,
Haight and Stewart can only be
taken by the superior force Of the
United States Under the present
jury system it is simply impossi-
BILE to convict any other assassins
in Utah.
Lee was convicted only because
District Attorney Howard succeed
cd in making Young believe that
by the conviction Of Lee, Utah
would be admitted into the Union
as a State, whereupon Young or
dered his conviction for the good
OF the church. District Attorney
Howard is, he says, honest and
efficient officer in every respect.
The stories about him keeping
back portion Of Lees confession
are false, except that some parts
were left out to further the ends of
justice, by agreement between
Howard and Bishop. Stillsop's
affidavit be brands as false in every
particular, and gotten y? in the
interests OF the church.
The feeling against the Gentiles
in Utah is very bitter Those in
Salt Lake City feel seenIe, blt in
small interior towns mnch appre-
bension is ielt. Should hostilities
commence the most Of the fighting
will be ID these small towns, Brig
ham Young has given orders to
his people to cease all commercial
intercourse With the Gentiles in
