amount Of capital upon which a diyi-

The LOaing Pluto Who was Shown a
Picture Of the Mountain
Meadows Massacre.
Oity Terrltorial Enterpri.e.l

Virginia City Territorial Enterprise.l
Among a number of oil paintings. by
Mcclellan, displayed yesterdayin front
OF the auction store of j. Z. Currie &
20, was one representing the Noun
tam Meadows massacre. The teams
and wagons of the emigrants are seen
winding down into the valley in which
the horrible tragedy is soon to be en-
acted, while behind rocks and trees in
the foreground are visible the crouch
ing Indians and Mormons, all in feath-
ers and wal paint.
A crowd Of men were standing
about the picture commenting upon il
and talking of the horrible butchery
1t represented, among the rest an En-
terprise reporter.
Observing a stalwart Pitue brave
standing on the street at a distance of
a few PAGES, the reporter said to the
whites present: Hold on and well
have some fun. Til get yon Indian
and confront him with the scene"
The Plnte, a huge, sleepy looking
fellow, tattooed on the point of the
chin and cheek bones, was soon
brought in front of the picture.
The reporter pointed out the horses
and wagons, the men, women and
children, all unsuspiciously filing
down into the valley, and the armed
and painted Indians with blood in
their eyes, peering out from their
hiding places. You see the white
men the horses, and the wagons ?'
said the reporter.

rocks and behind the trees?"

Now, pretty sOon Injun shoot all
the white men, shoot all the white
women, cut the Threats ofall the little
children-you see?'
"Yash, me sabe."
"You sabe?"
"Yash, heap sabe," said the Indian,
earnestly, his eye glistening.
The reporter was somewhat disap-
pointed, as he had expected the Indi-
ans feelings would be somewhat
worked upon by the picture of whole
sale slaughter he had drawn, particu-
larly when 1t comes to cutting the
threats Of children. However, the
untutored child of the desert gazed
innocently into his face with a look
which seemed to say: well, proceed
with the lesson"
The red man seemed utterly free
from guile, and willing to test him a
little further, the reporter said:
When all men dead, all women
dead, and all children dead, Iniun
take all horses, all blankets. all
mOney-all everything in wagon-you

Wash, me sabe."
Turning to. the reporter, the guile
less and untutored fellow pointed out
a particularly fierce looking Indian
peering out from behiud a rock.

BISMARCK BEFORE GRANT.
A Representative German Protests
Against the Third Term.

Sigismund Kaufman, a leading
German Republican oe New York
city, has issued an address to the
Germans, in which hesays, after speak
ing of the political influence the Ger
man element has obtained since 1S4S :
The agitation of the third term is
a test Of your your adherence to Re
publican principles. The great GEN
eral Of the war was as faithfully sup
ported in the field by yoa as by the
native American, and afterwards when
at the polls Gen. Grant reaped the re-
ward of his victories, you cast your
ballot as n man for him, and again
voted for a second term. Precedent
stops here. and it is not pre-
tended that the qualities of
General Grant either as a citizen or
soldier so far excel those of Washing
ton as to require a third time to
aceentuate them. 1t is urged that we
need a strong government in the face
OF the conclusive answer given by the
result of the civil war. The govern
ment, as 1t then existed, was strong
enough to defeat a combination which
from political causes, can never OBJ
tain again. 1t may be the political
machinists will, with the aid OF South
ern delegates representing no constit-
uents, nominate General Grant, but
his chief claim to that honor should
prove fatal to its being accorded to
him. Under any and every form, not
moved by any pretext however
specious, let us reject this violation of
the fundamental principle of Repub-
lican government. Let the rulers
continue to be the people. If We
must have a strong mar and a strong
government, let us return to Bismarck
and his iron rule"

The Nashville Banner says: What
Tennessee now needs is a frst-class
statesman with a whale-bon run up
his backs rhinocerus hide, a steel cap,
a mailed shirt, and a man who knows
his duty and, knowing it, dares to do
it. We need a leader who has the
courage to tell the people their duty,
the intellect to convince them and the
persuasive eloquence to carry them
with him. Our state has plenty Of
men who would follow, but few to
lead. 1t is very much like a runaway
team just now. 1t has the bit in its
mouth, between its teeth, and unless
it is checked in time our whole state
will be smashed to pieces. Ia there
none to step forward and take the
reins?r

Charles Stewart Parnell.

1t would be poetical sequel TO the new
phase Of Irish agitation if the descendant
of an American sailor who was born in
Philadelphia Just one hundred and one
years ago Q17S) should have discovered
the solution Of a problem that has vexed
English statesmen for centuries. And
yet such phenomenon is clearly on the
cards. History has its rewards and Its
revenges. There is nothing that has 50
completely proved its benefcence as the
land system of the United States. Our
marvellous public domain has more than
once saved our republic from disruption,
and at the present moment, with millions
of unsold acres III possession, that domain
is the open home proffered to the emil
grant, and the great reserve of our coun-
try for the future. And as We study Mr..
Charles Stewart Parnell's remedy for Ire
land we realize also the revenge OF his
tory. lie proposes to copy as much oi
the American land system as can be ap-
piled to Ireland His peasant proprietor
ship is only our homestead principle in
another form, and if in his present visit
70 the land Of his maternal grandfather,
the brave Admiral Stewart, he can find
new material to strengthen his programme
he may be the first man who has peace
fully adjusted one Of the most dangerous
difficulties that has ever afflicted the GOV
ernment Of Great Britain. 1t is This
single fact that gives originality and EN-
phasis to Parneil'S visit to our country
now.
We gather from other data that Mr..
Parnell Is himself a man of considerable
means, that he Is Protestant, and that
he was an ultra conservative till he Wis
tied the United States when he was %;
also that he went back To ireland con
tirmed radical, and proved his sincerity
by lowering the rents of his tenants and
increasing the wages of those in his EN-
ploy His course IN parliament Is never
demonsrrsttivr, but cool, steady, pertina-
cious, snd utterly frarless. 1t VIII be
observed that his example has united the
whole Irish people The fact that he is
member "f the Protestant Episcopal
church viii give him immense prestige IN
this country. Like Lord Edward Fitz-
gerald. also Protestant. but far more
practical and prudent, he is ready to sat
citice all for Ireland, and if he can he
