IDAHO BILLS RusE.

A couple OF San Francisco papers, at
the time, of the execution OF John D.
Lee. published what they called the
Last Confession OF John d. Lee, and
giving sketch Of Idaho Bill, likewise
printing photograph of this individual
on that occasion. and stating that his
name was William Fanoher, son of
Captain Fsncher. who had charge of
the Inflated Arkansas train at the time
of the massacre at Mountain Meadows,
and was one Of the children whose life
was spared by the blood-thirsty fanatics
OF that most horrible slaughter. We
CLEAN the following from the Beaver
(Utah) Square Dealer concerning WIN.
Sloan, alias "Idaho BILL which fully
explains how that worthy come to be
placed so prominently before the citizens
by those papers: "John D. Lee,
little while previous to bis execution.
informed the newspaper reporters that
Idaho Bill was one of the children which
he saved from the tomahawk of an In.
dian brave at the massacre. Idaho Bill
it appears had obtained access to Lees
manuscript while the latter was in the
psnitentiary at Salt Lake City, and
reading the old mans account of having
saved q seven-year-old boy which an In
dian had raised his hand to kill, Idaho
conceived the idea Of imposing on Lees
credulity and obtaining cheap news
paper notoristy. He told Lee that he
was that identical boy, and as proof ex-
hibited scar OF cut in the chin which
he got ON the wagon-wheel when the
Pluto brave was jerking him out of the
wagon to kill him. The ruse took and
Lee went to his death believing that
Idaho Bill was the veritable boy whose
life had been saved twenty years ago at
the Meadows holocaust of blood when
women and children were murdered by
white and red savages. But Lee was
Idaho's only dupe-the newspaper men
did not bite at the clumsy bait. A
very little inquiry revealed the pedigree
Of tho would-be notorious road.agent
and highwaymsn. Idaho Bills father
wrote to Attorney Denny, when his son
was being tried in the Second District
Court. to see if anything could be done
to save the hopeful young man from
State Prison."

THE MORMON PROBLEM.

THE MORMON PROBLEM.
The New York Herald publishes the
following concerning the Mormon prob
lem: 1.-THE execution of John D. Lee,
the confession be made when confront
ing an ignominious death, the implica-
ton OF Brigham Young and other Nor
mon msgnates as accomplices in the
Mountain Meadows massacre and the
new sense of indignant hostility to the
bloody, beastly. law.dsfying hierarchy on
the borders OF the Great Salt Lake. con-
tribute to make this the most important
occasion which has yet arisen for effao
ing the foul blot on American life, which
has so long existed in the region OF the
Rocky Mountains. 1t is to be regretted
that this great opportunity Is presented
when the public mind is so much en-
crossed with other exciting questions.
II President Hayes were in the middle
of his term instead of at the beginning
the Mormon question, as now freshly
presented, would occupy chief share of
his attention. Unfortunately, the South
Carolina question and the Louisiana
question eclipse all other subjects and
exclude any deliberate consideration OF
question which has hitherto proved
more difficult and unmanageable than
any other in our national affairs. Utah
has population enough for admission as
State, but Congress has been forced to
exclude her because it would be unsafe
to conoede the independence and local
self-control which belong to our States
to community which outrages the moral
sense Of the country. In our system the
States have exclusive control of their
marriage laws. and Congress has fels a
just repugnance to admitting to State
privileges a community whose marriage
laws would subvert o fundamental prin.
ciple of Christian morals. 1t has been
wisely thought better to keep Utah in
federal leading strings and refuse its ad-
mission as State while its domestic in
stitutions are repugnant to the marriage
code of all Christian communities. The
moral sense OF the country revolts against
its admission as State so long as it up
holds that twin relic Of barbarism,"
polygamy. While it remains Territory
the authority of the federal government
over its domestic concerns is supreme,
and Congress has hitherto been at fault
in not taking efficient measures to ex.
tinguish the immoral and demoralizing
institution which all Christian COM
munities regard as foul abomination.
The time has at length come for vigor-
GUS action, and it would be unwise to let
so favorable an opportunity slip. The
first and most urgent thing to be done is
to bring all the aooomplices in the Noun
tain Meadows.massacrs to justice. Their
trial, condemnation and execution would
be great step toward putting the public
mind in . proper temper for dealing
finally and effsotually with the trouble
some Mormon question. The next great
step will be the passage by Congress Of
such laws as will thoroughly uproot
polygamy and the abject slavery Of
women which it involves. 1t will not
be difficult to pass laws on this subjec.
which will be quite effective whenever
Congress is disposed to take hold OF the
question in earnest.

When Congress assemblies in extra
session on the 4.h OF next June both

years. In the Senate the Republicans
will have majority of only three or four
In the House the Democrats will have,

least nine. and perhaps fifteen. This
closeness OF party strength is in itself a

latiop.

A special telegram from New Orleans

u tuo OulcuBo Journal, uateu APth oth,
gives a very serious account OF affairs in
that city, which are as follows: "Gov-
ernor Packard, in anticipation that the
President will withdraw the troops from
the State House. and in order that be
may not be caught OF disadvantage,
has sworn in one hundred picked white
men and members OF the National Guard
of Louisiana. who will be stationed in
side and about the State House. Pack
ard is confident that be can retain con-
troll of the building. The Commission
has made little progress, and some OF
the members are becoming discouraged
by the outlook. but will not yet suspend
their efforts to consolidate the Legisla-
lures. Packard's action has greatly
strengthened Nichols chances with the
Commission. 1t is generally believed
that il the scheme to consolidate the
Legislatures fail, the Commission will
recommend the recognition of the
Nichols government. In that case,
Packard, j. Madison Wells, and their
followers, will attempt to show to the
satisfaction of the whole country that
Hayes was not entitled to the electoral
vote OF Louisiana. Defeat will render
them desperate, and some rich disclos-
ures, whether true or false, may be an
ticipated if they are abandoned by the
Administration"
For some cause or other we did not
receive the Beaver (Utah) Square
Dealer" for more than two weeks, but
last Wednesday we had the pleasure Of
welcoming its return. The Square
Dealer has undergone change, and is
now semi-weekly instead Of daily.
The people of Southern Utah ought to
rally around the Square Dealer and give
it liberal support. for that paper has
done more to bring that country into
public notice and make it prosperous
than all the mines in the southwestern
portion Of the Territory. II the editor
of that paper would bend his mighty in
tellect to writing up the various mining
camps in that section instead of filing
the paper with political filth" it would
be much better both for the proprietor
Of that sheet and the people In general.
Too much political trash will kill nearly
any paper, Mr.. Square Dealer, and the
less you have to do with it the better it
will be for you. although it might incur
the displeasure of the sanity Brigham.
Andy Whitford, gentleman we'll and
favorably known in the western part OF
this State, and who has held the position
of Chief Clerk Of the Assembly for a
number OF times, died at Carson City on
the night OF the 4th inst. In noticing
the death of this gentleman, the Tribune
says: Mr.. Whitford was a most excel
lent clerk and book keeper, and one of
those good-hearted men that got through
the world without enemies. His com.
plant was quick consumption, and his
death to him happy release"

One Of Mrs. Grants Silent Deeds.

THE Oneonta IN Y Democrat relates
the following: George S. Joice, of I'm
adilla, entered the rebellion at its out
break. He made faithful and useful
soldier, and remained to the last. Early
in President Grants first term he was ap-
pointed door-keeper at the Executive
Mansion. He remained there until some
three and half years ago, then sickened
and returned to Unadilla to linger through
the remainder of life with consumption.
He lived twelve or fourteen months, and
died. While in Washington he was a
general favorite among his associates, and,
on account of his faithfulness to duties
and gentlemanly qualities, had attracted
the favorable attention of Mrs. Grant.
His fathers family were in very limited
financial circumstances, and George was
worth nothing but an irreproachable
character and good name. Mrs. Grant,
in some way, knew of these conditions,
and during the entire time that Mr. Joice
was lying sick in Unadilla this excellent
woman sent him each month check for
500, until he died. There was never
any buster over the matter among that
plain English family of Joices, and Mrs
Grant did the good deed so unostenta-
tiously that few people in Unadilla know
of it to-day"

reform was the instructing of girls in the
Importance of polygamy, and what their
duty was as brides of Gods chosen peo-
pie All girls from the age of twelve
years and upward were compelled to at
tend lectures by the Elders on these SUBJ
jects. Many of them, acting on the doc
trine that was inculcated, were led to be-
come plural wives as young as thirteen
years of age. Inever heard of any force
being used in Salt Lake City to induce
these children to seal themselves to
men, but at Corinne, or what has become
Corinne, a number of girls were con-
fined in house until they were starved
into consenting to- become wives. They
were usually promised that they would
be sent to school unCl they were of age
before being expected to take their posi-
tions as these plural wives, but these
promises were seldom kept. | knew
three girls who ran away from their hus-
bands and took refuge at Camp Douglas,
and there were great many who did so,
some of them marrying soldiers. The
reign of the 'Inquisitorial Reform lasted
several years, and was the era of licen-
tiousness, murder, and restitution.
81 believe that Mormonism is doomed
to destruction now that Brigham Young
is dead SChism after schism will weaken
it, until it will gradually become eradi-
Gated. Too many men have been wait
ing for Brigham's death, in hope of ad-
vancing themselves, and it is rule or
ruin with most of them. From what l
remember of Brigham's sons, none of
them are fit to succeed him. "-RQGheete1
