A BRAVE COMMUNITY.

The people of Salt Lake hav,
given another proof, and uude
most trying circumstances, of thei
law-abiding character and of thei
respect for legal forms and regula
processes. Four long years have
they YEARLY waited to see the Law
vindicased, and for the melting OF
of justice upon one OF the
most depraved and heartles;
wretches who ever dis graceC
the mother who bore him. -Four
years have they seen the courts and
forms of law stand between the as.
ssssIn and the fate he so richly
merits. Four years have they been
cool and patient while incompetent
judges and blundering prosecutors
have tr1fied with a case that de-
manded swift and certain disposal,
not only for the punishment of the
guilty but as warning to other
cowardly wretches who might con.
template striking down innocent
men from behind. During ali this
long period, while the law has keen
transformed into a farce and the
courts used as a stage for the per.
Torrance, the people have been
quiet, patient and forbearing, show
ing by their behavior that they pre-.
ferred the failure of justice even to
the overriding and setting aside OF the
forms and rules which had been pro-
vided for the administration of the
laws. Now, after this weary wait,
when they were about to be rewarded
for their noble and long-suffering
conduct by seeing the law INDICATED
aud justice assert herself, the Cor.
tain rises on another act OF this dis
NAL farce and the play goes on. The
people do not rebel, but smothering
their wrath-and IL is wrath by this
time-and still showing their regard
for the constituted authority and the
methods content them
selves with a modest but earnest
protest.
All praise to the pc pie of Salt
Lake City! No other community
can boast more than this one
claims TO have won. Many others
would have broken out in uncun-
trolable passion before they had
endured half whas this has borne.
After what has occurred and what
Is occurring al the time, we think
the good people of this city may be
trusted.

GOVERNOR. THOMAS ACTION.

During the past few hours
Acting Governor Thomas has beer
subjected 20 more censure anC
rigorous abuse than man with
less sensitive nature than he even
would enjoy. We hope the
gentleman has not heard and never
will hear the cruel things that
were said of him between noon and
night on Friday. THE HRRALD
said yesterday morning that it be-
ieved Governor Thomas would do
what he conceived to be right, "but
whatever he may do, and whatever
may be the result of his action, he
must be held blameless while others
are responsible" The confidence
then expressed was not mis-
placed. The Governor has done
not only what he conceived to be
right, but what was right, the term
being used as synonymous with
law. What he did in granting the
reprieve to the murderer Hopt must
have been as grievous to him as to
the hundreds of men and women
here who are 80 much interested In
seeing justice melted out to this vile
assassin, who for four long years
" 5 been defying courts and laugh
l. s a! public opinion. If intelligent
people will look at this matter in
coelness and in the light OF facts,
they will not condemn the Governor
as wanting in backbone" az so
many are doing, but will ap.
plaud him for the courage
to stand by the Law in the
face of such universal and
pronounced public sentiment, aGd
against his better nature and finer
feelings, for We know the Cover
nor's sympathies are all with the
com munity as regards the murderer.
The position was this, In few words:
The law gave the assassin the right
to have the trial Of his case reviewed
by the United States Supreme
Court; the Territorial Supreme
Court, for reasons best known to
itself, by its rulings and opinions,
had made it impossible that the re-
view could be had in the regular
course, until months after the pris.
oner was in his grave; the local
court having, as we claim and be-
lieve, erred in its opinion and
,hiTked its duty and responsibility
in the premises out of fear of indig-
nant pubic opinion or for some
other reason, and yet knowing nat
the assassin would be deprived of a
tight which the law:confrms 10 him
IS well as upon the innocent. sad
lied the responsibility upon the
Governor. placing him in ths UNI
pleasant position OF. asserting to the
judicial murder Of the man or COM
oelling him to grant the reprieve.
Painful as We know it must have
been to His Excellency to do as he
lid, we cannot help admiring him
for his course. It was his bounden
iuty, to be sure, but 1t was a case
it required more than or
binary courage to perform that duty.
NOBODY has the right to censure
Governor Thomas for what he has
lone; and we believe the people of
Utah will have occasion to thank
1im fer the establishment of a pre-.
,edent that may prove serviceable.
We know how strong that public
opinion is against Hopt; we are
heartily sympathizing with that
public opinion. firmly believing that |
ever murderer merited the sever
,st punishment known to the law,
his fellow is deserving of death at
he hands of the authorized execu,
ioner. At the same time we believe
t, is better that his punishment |

following men. j. Robinson, j. III.
Landers, j. M. French. Joe Mont
gomery, +. NJ. Whatley, j. 0. Hagood,
J. NJ. Rice, a. Blue, J. j. Williams, L..

Messrs. Bowlin Bros. appeared for the
prosecution, and Henry NJ. Furman
for the defense.
After the jury was empaneled they
were placed in the hands OF the sheriff
and couit adjourned until $50 this
morning.
HISTORY or THE CRIME.
The defendant Dallas Logan in the
year 1878, eleven years ago, killed a
man named Peter Smith, near Mans.
field in this county. 1t appears that
Logan and Smith had had some pre-
vious difficulty which made them enc
mics, and the killing of Smith was the
result OF personal conflict which oc.
Cured while Logan was tending some
cattle OF his own near Mansfield.
After killing Smith Logan went to
Cleburne to employ counsel, but was
advised to leave the state, and upon
this advice he sought safety
by buryiug himself in obscurity
in the land OF the Montezumas,
where he remsined several years and
then returned to Texas. He was ar
rested in Wise county upon the charge
OF murder, and brought here for trial.
The case came before the district court
two years ago and after being heard
and argued by counsel, it resulted In
HUNG JURY.
Logan was then released on bail and
the case now comes up for a second
trial. In the first trial the dying state
ment Of Smith played conspicuous
part, as also did the testimony O som
eyewitness, introduced by the de-
Tense. Peter Smith was familiarly
known throughout Tarrant county as
Little Peter Smith, where he had q
large circle of friends and acauaint-
ances at the time Of his death. Con
siderable interest is felt in the case
and the court room was filled with
spectators yesterday afternoon.
