The Bill Signed.

The President has signed the electoral
bill. In returning it to Congress, with his
signature attached, he accompanied it with
a message, assigning his reason for his APP
proyal, which we publish elsewhere. The
spirit of fairness, OF patriotic devotion to
the peace OF the country and tile integrity OF
the government, which pervades the docu-
ment is significant commentary upon the
allegations of the Democratic press OF inpe'
rial aspirations and designs cn the part OF
Gen. Grant. The message seems to have
been written under a feeling OF cheerful re-
lief.that method had been devised, consis-
tent with constitutional provisions. for set

eyentuate in peaceful solution OF the Pres

general business that no harsh or sanguina-

OF opinion as to who is elected. The coun-
try will accept this additional attestation as
controlling evidence that Gen. Grant has nc

The Oregon Fraud.

The investigation of the Oregon frau(
is promising a rich return OF unscrupu
lous tricks on the part of Tilden's friends
In fact $4,000 of the $4,000 sent te
Oregon to- assist in concentrating the
fraud, has been traced to Mr.. Tilden':
household. 1t is shown that Col. Pei
ton, Tilden's nephew and private secre
tary sent sS,ooo-that $1,000 were de
posted in San Francisco bank, drawn
out for the benefit of parties working
up the fraud-that cypher and other dis
patches were sent showing that the
scheme originated in New York-that
Hewitt, Chairman of the Democratic
Committee, gave directions as to the pro
ceedure-and that Mr.. Tilden received
the following dispatch:

The Truth.

The New York Times, makes the follow
ing reference to the causes that are operating
against the South. In discussing the action
OF prominent citizens OF New York, at the
Clearing House in that city, in reference to
the debt of the Southern States, and some
method to assist in the relief, it was urged
that the construction of the Texas Pacific
Railroad, would contribute to the settlement
of that section, introduce immigration, lie ssen
taxes; &c. The Times says and We nv truth
fully.
But the plea is not true. Capital and i'm
igration are not debarred from going TO the
South by q dread of taxation, as one of the
speakers at the Clearinghouse alleges, or
by the absence Of railroads, as the friends of
| the Texas Pacific maintain. The real hind
RANGES must be sought among the Southern
| whites. whose partisan intolerance. and the
social ostracism growing out of it, repel
Northern settlers and make material i'm
provement impossible. That the South TO-
day pines for Northern enterprise, and
mourhs over the absence of immigration. is
q circumstance for which it should blame
only itself. Its people have adopted the best
possible methods OF keeping away both. Be.
fore they can hope to obtain either, they
must rid themselves OF their NAL ignant par
tisanship, and impart to the politics, bust
ness, and society of their respec tive States
the temper which prevails in all other parts
of the Union. The South has many ma tural
advantages over the West, but they count as
nothing in the presence of the relentless
hate and persecution which a political con-
test brings to the surface. A genuine change
in this respect would be worth more to the
South than many subsidies.

The passion and the purpose OF Russia is
to conquer the Turkish Empire, both Last
crn and Western, seize Constantinoplc, and
rule the world. The policy Of Peter the
Great was based upon the fact that he had
put Petersburg too far north for the proper
development of Russia. and that CONSTANT
nople must be gained at whatever cost. TO
this en,l the Russian nation was to be kept
always Oh a war footing. The ablest COM
manders in war, and philosophers in peace.
were to be invited to share in her public at
fairs. No opportunity was to be lost of ma
king Russian influence felt in European
States. Poland must be divided to make
way in the next place for the conquest of
Turkey. Jeaouses between Denmark and
Sweden were to be fostcred. The consorts
OF the Russian Princes were to be taken
from the German Princess, in order to
strengthen alliance with Germany, and in
terest it in the Russian policy. Progress
was cautiously to be made toward Constan-
tnople and India, knowing that whatever
power held these ruled the world. Quarrels
were to be provoked between Turkey and
Persia. Docks were to be built on the EuN-
inc and the Baltic; the Levant through Ser
via was to be possessed, Persia humiitated,
and the midas afterward subGued. Austria
was to be interested in the expulsion OF the
Turks by the hope OF the Danubian provin-
ccs. These schemes accomplished, with Rus
sia's fleets in the Euxine, Baltic, and Medi-
ter-anean, overtures were to be made to
France and Germany to share with Russia
the empire of the world. If France reject
ed, then Germany and Russia were to de-
stroy France. If Germany rejected, then
Russia and France were to destroy Germany.
If both rejected-an improbable thing--then
one was to be set against the other, and Rus.
STA, watching the favorable moment, was to
possess, not only the Turkish Empire. but
sweep the East, driving England out Of her
Indian possessions, and dispensing with
English gold'' forever. The movements
of to-day in Europe are all in this line

VENGEANCE Is Mine. .

In one OF the valleys tracing through the
defiles of the Rocky Mountains some hundred
and odd miles west Of Salt Lake City, there
stands 4 rude wooden cross upon which is
inscribed, vengeance is mine, saith the
Lord Beneath it are buried the whit enetl
bones of one hundred men, women and
children. who, twenty years ago, fell vic
tins to the ferocious cruelty and insane big
otry of the follows OF Brigham Young. They
were party Of California emigrants, con-
sistins OF families from Arkansas, Tennessee
and Missouri. The men were well to dc Mi
ners, who, after spending in profitable work
year or two on the Pacific coast, had re-
turned to the States, and were taking ont
their families, with stock and other property
to make their homes in California. They
were first surprised by what appeared to
be party OF Indians, but really led by Nor
mons in disguise. After some days Of dam
ger and adventure, the emigrant party were
finally dccoyed into the power OF John D.
Lee, Mormon elder, and his band, and
cruelty mlrdered--only fifteen little children
of the 1875 immigrants being spared. This
occurred in 1857. Two years affcrward, the
fate OF the party was learned, aud party of
soldiers were directed to the spot where they
buried the bones OF the victims, and erected
a cross with the inscription we have named.
Years passed and no definite clue could be
discovered to the perpetrators Of the crime,
the general impression being that the party
was massacrel by Indians. Several year
ago, it leaked out that Lee was Implicated in
the horrible butchery. The Chain of evil
dence, at first indistinct and trifling, was
followed up, until it finally led to the arrest
of Lee, through the confession OF repentant
Mormons, who were witnesses OF the massa-
ere. Two trials were had, and no verdict,
the jury disagreeing. The last trial resulted
in q verdict OF guilty, and Lee was sentenced
to be shot Oh Friday last, the law Of Utah
allowing the condemned the choice of hang
ins or shooting. A stay OF execution was
granted, on an appeal to the Supreme Court
of the Territory, and there is now no certain
The history Of crime does not furnish a
more terrible massacre than that ofwhich Lee
was the planner and ruling spirit. Over one
hundred men, women and children, inn o.
cent Of all offence, and Drawing their way
through tire passes and over the mountains
OF that inhospitable aud savage region, they
were surrounded BIZ what was then thought
a band of sayages and murdered. rs stated,
the truth revealed Lee as the chief in the
bloody butchery, with three other Mormon
Elders as accessories, all of whom have since
died. Many others have gone to their Gnal
judgment, others have left the Territory, land
only Lee left to answer the demands of the
outraged law. Vengeance has been slow in
| this case, yet we doubt not Lee has carried
| along with him through the years that Fave
passed the sting of death in his own con
| Silence.

IL anf thing further were necessary to de-
monstratc that John GooGe, Jr.. was an I'M
proper person to hold seat in Congress
than the frauds pcrpetrated in his election,
1t was furnished IL his speech in the House
OF Representatives on the Electoral bill.
Instead OF addressing himself to the grave
questions involved in the passage of the re-
port OF the joint committee, and seeking to
show that he was something above the trad
Ing politician, lie INDUCED in the most dis
gushing, embittered, partizan harangue that
ever disgraced the halls of Congress. In
connection With his TRADE OF yillification OF
the Republican party, he had the efi'rontery
to utter menace to the effect that if the
bill were not passed, the Democratic House
wonld precipitate revolution and civil war
by the election of Tildcn. Without conde-
scending to call his name, the incendiary
sentiment uttered was promptly rebuLed by
Gen. Garfield ard MIR. IIoar.
When it is known that Goode has no more
right to speak in Congress than II he had
never been voted for, the impudence of his
remarks may be appreciated. He holds the
seat nov properly belonging to Col. Plat,
and has been declared the member from the
Norfolk district for the next term. when
Col. Segar is the legally elected representa-
tive.
The temper and style Of his speech meas
ure admirably the calibre of his mind.
Passing FROM the indulgence of contemplate
threats, he rounded his conclusion by a So
phomorical flourish that has been repeated
from every Fourth-of-July rostrum since the
Declaration Of Independence was first pro-
mulged. Il appeal to the memories eff the
past and the hopes Of the future" II his
hopes for the future are based upon the
memories Of his own recent political past,

We do not see how very well either John
Goode, Jr., or Judge Jno. L. Harris could
support any proposition that did not justify
the Returning Board of Louisiana in exclud-
ing all precincts where there were either CO.
ercion or intimidation. Mr.. Goode holds his
seat by throwing out the Gosport Navy Yard
vote, because it was charged the voters were

Judge Harris made that the foundation of
his speech in opposition to the report OF his
own committee, and the Democratic House
took it as sufficient reason to give Mr.. Goede
the seat to which Mr.. Platt had been fairly
elected by a majority Of the votes cast.
We see that Mr.. Harris is very severe upon
the members Of the Louisiana Returning
Board. He suggested that they be confined
in the common Jail of the city of Washing
ton, instead OF the nominal imprisonment
accorded to persons held to be in contempt
OF the House. They only refused to give up
what the House had no right to demand,
and that which they would have furnished,
had they complied with the illegal and I'M
constitutional demands of the House, would
simply have been records which showed that
they had followed Nj. Harris advice and
rejected votes upon the same ground that he
insisted upon rejecting the Gosport vote,

The election of Hon. BENJAMIN Fl. Hill to
the United States Senate from Georgia is
significant and goes to show that man may
honestly express his opinions, and then not
interfere with his political promotion. Mr..
Hills views as expressed to the newspaper
correspondents, harmonize with the spirit Of
the bill reported by the joint committee, and
from the fact that they were expressed some
time before that committee was created, it
goes to show that he did not mistake the in
dications Of popular sentiment, or place too
low an estimate upon the patriotism Of the
country.
