0utrages on Missionaries.

A Washington dispatch says
that Senator Kearns accompanied
Apostle Reed 3moot and Ben Z
Rich to the department of justice
and placed before Attorney Gen
eral Knox the facts Of recent
outrages perpetrated on Mission
aries Stewart and Zundell in
Georgia. Messrs Rich and Smoot
stated to the attorney general that
they had tried to prosecute the
participants in these outrages in
the state courts, but FIVE of the
men who were members Of the
mob are members of the grand
jury and the othet members have
friends on the jury, and it is there's
fore impossible to get an indict-
ment against them. A Baptist
minister from the county where
the outrage occurred called upon
the Governor of Georgia with
view to having the matter hushed
up, representing that some of the
best citizens of the county had
been members of the mob.
The apostle and Mr.. Rich as
serted that the records of their
effice in Chattanooga were correct
in showing that so per cent Of the
trouble caused by mob violence
in the south has been inspired by
ministers OF the gospel antagonis-
tic to Mormonism. Senator
Kearns. in supplementing their
statements, stated to the attorney
general that the citizens Of Utah,
without respect 10 religious belief
or party affiliation, were entitled
to the protection that the constitu-
ton of the United States garan,
tees 10 every citizen of the United
States. The attorney general vii
send letter to the United States
district attorney of the district
where the outrages occurred, call
ing for full information, and
Messrs' Rich and Smoot believe
the matter willnow be thorough lily
Investigated by the department OF
justice. Mr.. Rich stated that he
had secured sufficient evidence &c
secure convictions in the federal
courts and has been assured by
the federal officials in Georgia
hat tn y have ample evidence to
send fifteen or twenty men to the
penitentiary.
1t is to be hoped that the move.
ment of Apostle Smoot and
Senator Kearns will prove sue
cesssful in trying to bring the
guilty parties 10 justice.
