Such are the prospects of Chinese

known to planters who are still living,

TO utter a protest. To show the abso-

is urged that because Chinese so sell

my friends and you will soon find out
that Chinese have their own tribunals,
try and punish offenders against their
laws, and thus set themsel yes up
against the Government, giving an
example to the blacks and coolies of q

and spoken, Without going into a
discussion as to the causes for this
Outcry OF want OF labour l would still
record my impression Il.et a false and
very short-sighted policy has actuaied
the Legislators of this colony. With
hundreds of thousands of acres avail
able for cultivation not an effort has
been made 10 induce settlement. In
deed, the reverse has been the case,
and every conceivable obstacle placed
in the way of opening up the lands
towards the interior. All has to be
sacrificed 10 the supposed present re-
qnireme0tS Of sugar, the staple which
keeps mems minds rooted to one idea
and prevents them from looking ahead.
The argument in favour OF obstacles
probably takes this form III we
open up the interior our labourers
Will be attracted there and we Shall
be unable to get Il work done"
What "a terrible prospect! What an
awful calamity Argument is out of
The question; reasoning not to be
listened to; all haste to prevent such
an awfrl catastrophe. No stone
must be left unturned to coumtrract
any scheme for settlement, should one
be mooted In this mood have the
local politicians representing sugar,
acted, and What is The result ? At
this moment the public are told that
labour is scarce, that sugar Is depress'

only way to bring about greater pros

is to pour in labour from Madeira and

those who have confined dis province

wai!iug. Bun still their eyes are not

Mormon Me,noria, Services,

Salt Lake, Aug. 25-Memorial services
in respect to the memory OF the Mormon
elders assassinated in Tennessee were
held yesterday in all the large and many
small towns of Utah. A congregation OF
about 1000 attended the services in the
tabernacle of this city. The remarks OF
the speakers, which echoed the eenti.
ment OF the congregation, were concila.
tory and consoling. relecting in no way
on the people of Tennessee generally,
but attributing the murders to the result
of b;goted prejudice on the part of igno.
rant and misinformed individuals. The
prevailing sentiment among leading Nor
mons and the Mormon people generally
is that such acts are the outgrowth of
and falsehood, chiefly
from this city and continually
kept before the country at large by their
enemies.

Lincoln, Aug. 24-The body Of Lucina
Padiflo, the Mexican lynched ln High.
land precinct in this county, was brought
to Lincoln this morning by Coroner
Beachley and Deputy Sheriff Evans, who
went ont and cut it down. 1t was placed
in the undertaking rooms of james
Heaton, with hands and feet bound aud
a rope around his neck. 1t was viewed
by thousands. The deceased was man
about thirty years old and besides the
protruding of the tongue did not present
an unnatural appearance. This after
noon the following jury was summoned: !:
Gran Ensign, foreman; AL Beach, D. v.
Hoagland, Hal Warner, John Stire and
P. Coursey Richards.
The evidence showed that word had
been sent to the sheriff here that Ann
Range, the ravished girl, was dying, aud
it would be necessary to have her declar-
alton. and identify the prisoner. Accord.
ingly City Marshal Beach. Judge Parker,
Sheriff Melick and Prof Bluedhorn, of
the Free Press, started for Highland pre-.
clnct. From remarks made on the cars
the sheriff became somewhat alarmed
for the safety of his charge, aud Messrs.
Bluedhorn and Beach got off the train
ut Denton, and Parker went to Burd's to
see if the coast was clear. The first party
went to Mary Cobb's and took CARR.
age acress the country. When near the
house 1t was decided that Melick and
the prisoner should proceed to the house
on horseback. They did so, but were
stopped at short distance, and where
there were no men to be seen before the
corn fields wero full of them.
Melick and the prisoner made haste
back to the curriage, pursued by the
mob. The first named took refuge in a
barn but were soon overpowered aud the
prisoner taken from the officers. He was
conveyed to the bedside of the
dying girl, and in answer to questions
by Judge Parker she identified him
at once. In fact he confessed to
Sheriff Melick before. He was then
placed IN wagon taken to the elm
tree under which the rape bad been
committed. Time was given him to
pray, but he wanted to speak. This
privilege was denied him and be was
then choked to death and left hanging
until cut down last night. The verdict
of the jury was that Lucina Padillo
came to his death by hanging, at the
hands of mob, the names of whom are
unknown, except j. w. Craig. This man
is the postmaster at Crete, and is said to
be the leader of the lynchers. He was
not masked or disguised, but took q
prominent part boldly. The officers are
exonerated IN every particular by the
public, for they made bold fight
against overpowering numbers, and the
general opinion here is that it served
the Mexican right. He will be buried
at the expense of the county and sub.
scription is being taken up for the girls
