II is said that the Mountain Meadow

John d. Lee was shot the other day, had
it's origin in the spring of 1856. in a case

of H. H. Mclean. merchant Of San
Francisco. On her flight the deserted
husband sent her two children Ia very
interesting boy and girl to his father-in-
Law IN New Orleans. Some time after

children. and started back to Utah with
them. On discovering this. the doubly
injured husband started in pursuit. He

GOVERNO HAYES AND HIS
POLICY,

NEW YORK, Feb. ga special
from Washington to the Post says: in
q letter received here to-day from
Columbus the statement is made by
authority that Gov. Hayes has not only
not expressed to his friends the proba-
BILE policy to be pursued by his admins
istration in reference to the complica-
tions in Louisiana and South Carolina,
but he says distinctly that at this time
he cannot tell what it will be go far
as relates to the two States named. If
declared President by the joint con.
vention he will endeavor to meet all
questions and decide them IN accord
ance with the spirit of the constitu-
tion and with justice to all classes of
people, but the question Of deciding
between two rival factions in both
these States is not one which should
be settled without grave and careful
consideration and after fall consulta
tions with his constitutional advisers.
Gov. Hayes has not settled these ques-
tons, and does notpropose to until af-
ter he is duly installed in the presiden-
tial chair and has had time to call
about him his cabinet.

ANOTHER SPEECH FROM GOV.
HAYES.

CINCINNATI, O., February ga
dispatch to the Gazette from Spring
field, Ohio, says Gov. Hayes, while
en.route from Fremont to Columbus
passed an hour in Springfield to-day.
He was escorted to one of the hotels
and, being introduced to the people,
made brief speech. He expressed
congratulations that in a weeks time
this business, which has occupied the
attention of the country for eight
months, would be over. He hoped
that the people would acquiesce
euitely, whoever might be the person
declared elected. He believed that
the country desires peace and security;
thought this idea should be the ex-
pressing of the people to their repre-
sentatives at Washington. Realizing
his lack ofspecial fitness for the du-
ties to the performance of which he
might be called, he placed his trust in
Almighty Csd, who rules the desti-
nies of nations.
These remarks were received with
tremendous applause, and the crowd
did not disperse until the departure of
the train.

ORGAIZATION OFTHE NEW HOUSE
MR.. FIELDS PRESIDEN-
TIAL MEASURES. i

WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-The democrat
ic members who arejanxious for the COM
pletion of the electoral count and the
passage OF the appropriation bills in Or
der to obviate any necessity for an extra
session Of Congress, have discovered
that there is a possibility. in case Of an
extra session Of the organization Of the
House being wrested from them. Gov,
Hayes can call an extra session Of Con-
grsss at any time on one days notice, if
it suits him. The republican members
can previously be privately advised of
the date of the meeting, and can all be
in their places when the House is called
to order. The absense of less than half
. dozen democrats would give the re-
publicans a majority, and by q bold
push it would be perfectly feasible for
them to obtain control Of the House,
which once gained, they would hesitate
at no means to retain. This is contin-
gency which has presented itself to the
minds OF leading democrats to-day, and
they think it is a matter which it IL well
to watch, as the indications are that the
republicans will sieze every possible ad-
vantage which time or oppurtunity may
offer to them. The Senate republican
caucus to decide npon q new President
pro tenn, and upon other matters, affect
nag the welfare Of the party, will be
held to-morrew. 0i 1l.r1ha CD bsi
TEE PRHsIDxNTIAL BILLS. ,.I l-
David Dudley Field stated in CONVEX
sation tonight that he would report his
two bills to the House to-morrov, and
| ask that they be put on their passage.
This he can do, as his committee has the
right to support at any time. Mr.. Field
said he had no doubt that the House
would pass his bills. Other democratic
members, however have expressed con
trary opinion. Judge Abott- Of Massa-
| chusetts, one of the democratic members
Of the electoral commission. said to-
night that Mr.. Fields bill were undoubt-
ediy unconstitutional; never dreamed ct
such thing as failure to complete the
| electoral count, and there was no consti-
tutional warrant for new election un-
der such circumstances. He thought
that failure to complete the count
must result in nothing less than confu-
sien and anarchy, and entail dire mis-
fortune upon the country.
| DIscREDITABLH CONDUCT.
As Mr.. Hewitt was leaving the hsll OF
the Houee this afternoon he was as
sailed directly in such opprobrious terms
as traitor, coward, &c by several of the
tiibustering democrats. He took no no.

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

Forgive and forget-it is better
To ding every feeling aside,
Than allow the deep cankering fetter
OF revenge In thy breast to abide;
For thy step through life's path shall be
. When the load from thy bosom is cast,
And the sky that's above thee be brighter,
; When the cloud of displeasure is pass'd.
Though thy spirit beat high with emotion
To give back an injustice again,
Let 1t sink In oblivion's ocean,
For remembrance increases the pain,
And why should we linger In sorrow,
When Its shadow is passing away?
Or seek to encounter tomorrow
The blast that o'erswept us to-day:
Oh, niemory's varying river,
And though 1t may placidly glide,
When the sunbeams OF JOY DER 1t quiver,
1t foams when the storm meets its tide.
Then stir not its current to madness,
For its worth thou wilt ever regret
Though the morning beams break on tn,
sadness,
Ere the sunset forgive and forget.

GOVERNOR HAMPTON ON THE ELEc-
ToRAL COUNT.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 26.-The
News and Courier publishes a special
from its Columbia reporter whs inter-
viewed Governor Hampton last night as
to his views concerning the proper course
Of Democrats ia Congress. Gov. Hamp-
ton said: 81 think it not advisable TO
throw obstacles in the way of the de-
clsion of the commission. We submit
ted our case to that tribunal, and If we
have been deceived or betrayed we can
better suffer defeat which brings no dis
honor to our party than to incur the i'm
putation of acting in bad faith. Other
legitimate means of redress are still open
to us without resorting to parliamentary
tactics, which may imperil :he peace Of
the country, and would surely place us
in false position. The interests Of the
whole country demand peaceful settle
ment of the pending question"
