statement that no convention has been
concluded between Servia and Roumania.
He says the Servians hesitate until the
Roumanian army has established itself on
the Turkish side Of the Danube. 1t is not
probable that this hesitation on the part
Of Servia will restrain the Prince OF
Roumania. The present movement Is
thought TO be favorable for crossing the
Danube, as it is supposed at Roumanian
headquarters that a portion of the gar
rison Of Widen has been sent to Nfko-
polls and is kept in check there by the
Russians detached against that town.

The Cabinet session lasted on March
% from / } until noon. The result, was
to address letters to Gov. Hampton and
Gov. Chamberlain, inviting them to
Washington city, and soon after noon
the following letter received the ap-
proval of the Cabinet. 1t was sent to the
gentleman to whom it was addressed:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON. March %:
1 am instructed by the President to
bring to your attention his purpose to take
into immediate consideration the position of
affairs in South Carolina, with the view of
determining the course which, under the
Constitution and laws of the United States,
it may be his duty to take, in reference
to the situation in that State, as he
finds it, upon succeeding to the Presi-
dency. 1t would give the President
great pleasure to confer with you in person,
if you shall find it convenient 10 visit
Washington, and shall counsel with him
in thinking such conference the readiest
and best mode of placing your views as to
the political situation in your State before
him. He would greatly prefer this direct
communication of opinion and information
to any other me thod of ascertaining your
views upon the present condition and inn
mediate prospects of public interests in
South Carolina. 1freasons of weight with you
should discourage this course, the President
will be glad to receive any communication
from you in writing or through any delegate
possessing your confidence, that will convey
to him your views Of the impediments to the
peaceful and orderly organization of single
and undisputed State Government in South
Carolina, and of the best method of remov
ing them.
1T is the earne est desire of the President
to be able to put an end as speedily as posi-

political arrangements which effect the
government and sfflict the people of Soutl

The Mountain MeadOscs Murderers
AEa0f.


John D. Lee, who led the Mountain
Meadows massacre in the month of Septem-
ber, 1869, was executed at the scene of the
mui der on March %. At ten a. m. he was
brought out before the executing party, and
seated ON his coffin, about twenty feet from
the shooters. After the order of the Court
had been read to him and the company
present by Marshal Nelson, Lee made a
speech of about FIVE hundred words, bitterly
deneuncing Brigham Young, and calling
himself the scapegoat for the sins of others.
He hoped God would be merciful. He
denied that he was guilty of bloodshed to
the last, and maintained that his mission to
the Meadows was one of mercy.
After the speech Parson Stokes, Methodist,
made aprayer commencing the soul of the
condemned man to God.
Immediately after this handkerchief was
placed over Lees eyes. He raised his hands
and placed them on the top of his head, sit.
ting firm. Nelson gave the word to fire, and
exactly at eleven o'clock five guns were fred,
penetrating the body in the region of the
heart.
Lee fell square back upon his coffin, dead.
Death was instantaneous.
! The body was placed in the coffin and the
crowd dispersed. There were about seventy
five persons, all told, on the ground. Not
child or relative was there. The best
order prevailed, and all pronounced the exc.
cution asuccess.
Lees last words to Nelson were: "Aim al
my heart" The body was then given to rel
atiyes in Cedar City.

otic feeling of the great body of the people
of the United States. 1t is impossible that
protracted disorder in the domestic govern
ment of any State can, or should, ever fail to
be matter of lively interest and solicitude
to the people of the whole country. In
furtherance of the prompt and safe execu-
ton of this general purpose he invites
the full communication of your opinion
on the whole subject in such one of the pro-
posed forms as may seem to you most
useful.

better civilization for which in this CEN
tury we have worked so HARD and so
well, may find responsive companionship
and encouraging intercourse with 9TH
ers.
"The social benefits and the facilities
for frequent, neighborly, and informal
intercourse are obvious. To say nothing
of the companionships and intimacies
among the young people, their fathers
and mothers would be kept from grow
ing old and glum by the constant fric-
ton of their kind and in so far as
more satisfactory social relation with
ones fellow-men, gives chez rfulness and
the richness of wider human interest,
in that proportion would the village life
have wholesome, mellowing effect that
is not to be found in the remote farm
house, nor even in the sort of neighbor-
hood we sometimes find in the country,
where several farm-houses are within a
quarter of a mile of each other. The
habit of running in for moments
chat with neighbor is good one, and
it gets but scant development among
American farmers
The better development of the church,
and especially of the school, is discussed
at some length, and the paper closes
thus:
"One might go on through the long
range of incidental arguments-such as
lighted streets, well-kept sidewalks,
winter snow-plows, and good drainage,
and a wholesome pride in tidy, cozy
village, until even the most close-fsted
of all our class would confess that the
extra cost would bring full value in re.
turn, and until he would recognize the
fact that the attractions of such a home
as. the village would make possible, would
be likely to insure his being succeeded
in his wholesome trade by the brightes
and best of his sons-a result that woulc
surely be worth more than all it would
cost.
"But my purpose has been only t,
suggest scheme which seems to me en-
tirely, even though remotely, prac
ticable, and in which l hope for tn
sympathy and help of the country y-boun'

which promises what seems the easiest
