We protest! Timber for Auditor

any risks in that direction.

Nevada is not behind Colorado
in tew experiments. Tbe Nevada
Legislature, which has jnst adjourn

of wife-beaters. It provides that aoy
ODe convicted shall be tied to a post in
some public place, and there remain

for a period of several hours. A

Gov. Hayes was a well-meaning
ma, wbo meant what he said, but
as Graut had Tailed to make any re
form in the line of civil service, they
hnd no idea that it was possible to
do it. "The democracy believed that
all his talk was of tbe ante-election
order, that nethiag would come of it,
and that they would have "broken
promises' as electioneering capital.
Both are disappointed. Hayes prom
ised reform and be is carrying it out.
Tbe "eafy-going, well-meaning man"

strong-willed, intelligent man; who

Jlos. J. D. Camerox was eiectea
r. S. Senator on Tuesday of Usl
week, by a vote in tbe Senate of
thirty-one to eighteen for A. n. Pill,
Democrat, and in tbe nonse by oue
hundred and sixteen to seventy-four.
On Wednesday the two Houses met
in joint session and Mr. Cameron
was formally declared elected by a
majority of fifty-five, receiving the
full Republican vote.
On tbe same day Hon. Stanley
Matthews was elected to tbe V. S.
natfrom Ohio. Tbe Democrats
bad ao many aspirants for tha barren
oomiuation that they coold not agree
on any candidate, and so tefrained
from voting.
It has been decided by the Presi
dent to call an extra session or Con
gress commencing a June 4tb.
This is made necsssary by the failure
of the last Congress to pass several
of tbe appropriation bills, the most
important of which was the bill ap
propriating the necessary amount to
sustain tbe army. Already Randall,
Cox, Savior and other Democratic
aspirants are busy canvassing for the
Speakership, fcnd as the Democratic
nisjority will not exceed six to eight
votes, and some of tbe Southern
members have grown tired of Nortr

to tne mal
content Democrats oi tbe toutn :
I et us reason together ; let us see
it tbere is not a road out of all our
difficulties that does not lead over
dead bodies ; let us see if disputes
cannot be settled without a resort to
tbe bie-knife and tbe pistol."
Tbe malcontents responded : "Yc,
surely, but only by concession ; not
of a part, but of tbe whole !"
This is the precise difficulty we
hsve all along apprehended. South
ern white men still labor under the
old curse of slavery ideas. Tbey do
ootreaason; tbey command; it is
the habit of the master; it is tbe
oiannerof the plantation. Tbe butch
er f Hamburg General Butler
says to Wade Hampton, speaking of
the Cauioet decision to raise a com
mission ; "It is another edition of
eight to seven :" and a correspond
ent at Washington Bays: "Tbe
Southern Democrats in town, wben
they heard of the action of the Cabi
net to-day, fairly gnashed their teeth
with rage." This is tbe old temper
of the oliearebv. It is tbe same
temper that nerved the Sootbern
bully to assauit Sumner in bis Sena
torial chair; tbe same that fired the
heart of tbe assassin of Lincoln. It
does not brook opposition : it is im
patient even of fair controversy ; its
demands must be complied with or
it strikes.
But peace can never come in this
way; the peace that comes through
violence does not come to Btsy lonir.
President Haves bas besought the
South to listen to the voice of reason;
to take counsel of common sense and
act npon its dictates. But the re
BDonse is n"t .promising. Tbe posi
tionin which President Have3 finds
himself is a trvins one. Wben the
Southern Democrats understood that
' conciliation" meant tbe overthro
of two Republican State eovern
meuts, without auy regard whatever
to the merits of tbe case, they threw
op tbeir hats and shouted Tor tbe
new President But now that they
find conciliation to mean a reign o.
... i, i.
justice, wbetber tne result son w
tbe successor I'acnara anu oamoer
lain or Nicholls and Hampton, they
-'gna&h the'r teeth with rec." There
is, however, no sign of wenkeDtng on
tbe part of tbo President. He ap
pears cool and self possessed. He
stands firm on his own platform,
laid down in the letter of acceptance
many months ago: "What tbe South
most needs is peace: but peace can
nniv nm throarh the sunremscv of
tbe law." Inter-Ocean.
"Tbev co
Every citizen did what be could to
elect the man of bis choice. Werecog-
aize nothing of tbe sort, and shall not,
Good service is what we want. Good
morning." And so tbe applicant
who bas made politics a business
and is in politics for purely busiuess
reasons goes away sorrowing to bis
member of Cdngre?s . Up start the
Hon. Mr Blank, with blood in bis
eye, and he demvnds tbo appointment
of his friend. The same imperturba
ble politeness and toe same Roman
firmness meet bim. "Tbere will be
no changes made for party ' reasons.
If the present incumbent is nnGt for
the place, show it, and we will put a i
better man iu. and your rccorouenda-r
tion will bave its weight. But there
will be uo exchange except lor cause."
And tbe Congressman storms and
raves, but it all amounts to notning.
Cool, self-posessed, tbe President sits,
psyiog no more heed to the storming
and raving, tban a though it was
tbe softest zephyr. Oh ye people, do
you know wby President Hayes is
in position to do this ? Learn and
apply the same to. your local politics,
aud get good government all around.
This is the secret he don't owe any-!
body any favor for bis nomination or
election. He never asked for the nomi
nation, be never asked for the elec
tion, aud he is complicated with no
body. Consequently he has no friends
to reward or enemies to punish. He
is President because the people want
ed him to be.' He bas no one to

vote or influence. In short, the of

And so tbere is disappointment. Tbe
Republicans are jubilsnt and the De
mocracy are depressed. "Why blast

"if he keeps on this way for a year,
I shall shall have to vote for him my

men, robbers and murderers, and had
helped to kill tne Mormon prophets.
I be' eved bim. '
1 was ordered to raise ibe Indians
tc attack the train and rnn off : the
cattle and to have the Indians kill
the emigrants. I sent Carl Sbirtz,
my son-in-law to raise the Southern
Indians for the worr. jepni jonn-
son went to other tribes - On Monday
morning I left the iron works to obey
my orders. Lieutenant coionei
Haigbt said " e are acting oy oraeru
it is all right We will let the In
dians bear all the blame." I said we
are forbidden to shed innocent blood.
Tbe reply of Haigbt was, "There is
not a drop of innocent blood in tbe
whole lot Go, Brother ) Lee, and
carry out the instructions of those in
authority. If you are dutiful in this
yonr reward shall he great in tbis
"kingdom of God, for God will bless
those wbo obey council and make all
things Gt for the peoplo of the Lord
in their days." ' ;
On my way home I passed many
Indians out" on the war path. 1
promised to join tbem the next day.
On Toesiay morning tbe Indians at
tacked the train, just at daylight, and
killed seven and wounded sixteen
emigrants. Tbe Indians lost some
of tbeir warriors. Tbe emigrants
then fortified tbeir position, and tbe
Indin surrounded tbem aud sent
for me. The whole country . was
aroused; both whites and Indians
rushing to Mountain Meadows from
all directions. I arrived at camp
late Tuesday afternoon, and found
the Indians i.i large force. They
demanded tbat I sboold lead tbe at
tack. I refused until further, orders
were received from Haigbt or Dame.
I then went south ten miles and met
some whites and Indians coming from
tbat direction. I camped there that
nigbt and on Wednesday went to tbo
Meadows and sent a man to Cedar
City for further orders.
On Thursday the orders came
by Major Higby. Tbere were fifty
eight whites and about 500 Indians
tbere. Then Major Higby made a
stwech and said the emigrants were
all to be killed wbo could talk; tbat
we. must get tbem out of the fortifi
cation by treachery. 1 was to loi
low tbe (lag of truce and make a
treaty with tbe besieged, and prom-j
ise protection. I was also to get the
arms of the emigrant and the sick
and wounded, end also tbe children
into wagons. Then tbe troops un
der Major Higbby would meet 'the
emigrants. Tbe women were to go
ahead. Tbe Indians were to. kill tbe
women. The militia were to kill
the men, and I and tbe drivers of the
wagons were to kill tbe wounded and
sick that were in tbe wagons. Sev
eral otber men then made speeches.
Then we had a . prayer circle, and
then more speeches were made, and
it was agreed by all praties that . it
was tbe will of God for ns to do as
we were ordered.
Oa Friday morning tbe emigrants
bad a white Sag flying, and tbe Mir
mon brethern again, assserobled.
Speeches were made, . and . all ex
pressed themselves as willinz to act
Msior Highv then addressed tbe
party and said:
"Brewren, it is the, orders ot the
President tbat all toe emigrants
must be put out of tbe way. Presi
deal Haigbt bas counseled witb Col-
ocel Dame and bas received orders
from bim to put all of tbe emigrants
oat of the wav. All of them must be
killed, especially those ibst might
talk again." He spoke of tbe char
acter of the emigrants. He said tbat
tbe Church authorities of Southern
Utah were all there, and that we
were acting as a church for the sake
of Christ" We were then told we
were there to do a duty we owed as
good church people. That tbe or
ders of those in authority were tbat
oil of the emigrants that could talk
must die. Mjr Higby concluded
as follows: "Our orders are from our
leaders, who speak with inspired
tongues, aud their words are tbe will
of good men. You have no right to
question tbem. "You must obey as
you are ' commanded."
Tbe flag of truce was then sent for
ward. It was carried by William
Bateman. He was metbalfway by
the emigrants, and tbey held a par
ley with him. Bateman then return-
tbat we emigrants
eir arms and do as
tbey were requestei. The Mormon
soldiers then marched out to' within
two hundred yards of the emigrants.
Tbey next took wagons and went to
the csrap and stated their orders.
Tbe emigrants then surrendered and
nut tbeir arms, tbo - sick and the
. : . . ' .... . . . ..t-
woundedand tbe children into vue
wagons. ' While tLey were burying
thvir (Wri mpn the emigrants ourst
into tears and said tbey feared trcach

loaded tbe truio was stared. The
eruigraais marched single file, the
women and the large children ' being
ahead: then the men came.
Wben tbe wagons were balf a
mile off tbe fire commenced. The
Indian killed all the WOmen and
large children. " The Mormona killed
the men. The drivers with me killed
the sick aud the wounded We sa
vtd seventeen of tbe children. "The
dead were stripped ' and mutilated
and tbe corpses left on- the field. I Tbe
Mormons camped on tbe field.
George A. Smith, who was tbe
second in the priesthood, having just
happened to be there giving ordera,
visited the Indian camp with me- B
of roSans, from tbe President down
He atked if tbe Indians would kul
all bad emigranu? 1 told bim tba'
tbe Indiana and the .Mormons wei
both hostile to tbem, and would kill
all not onder the protection ut the
rborcb. Tbis pleased him, and be
laughed aod said, "AH right" Lieu
tenant Colonel Haigbt and Colonel
Dame told bim tbe same thicg. He
taught the people tbat it was their
dutv to kill all emigrants, and mas
sacre tbem jnst as Brother Smith and
tbe other leaders wanted.
CoL Uaigbt then sent me to Salt
Lake City for the purpose of report
ing to Brig bam Young, and he
promised me a crown celestial as my
reward for wbat I bad done.
I went to Salt Lake City and made
my report to Bngbam Xoong ten!
days after tbe massacre. I tolu bim
all" everything who were tbere,
whu were guilty and wbo were ac
tive in killing tbe emigrants ; in fact
all I knew. I said to him. "You
must sustain us or release ns from
tbe endowment oath to avenge tbe
death of tbe prophets." Brigham
Young said, "I will communicate
wiih God." I went back tbe next
morning, wben Young said, "Brother
Lee, uot a drop of innocent blood bas
been shed. I have gone to God in
prayer. God has shown me it was a
inst act. The neonle did right, but
s I
were only a little hasty. 1 bave di
rect evidence from God tbat the act
was a iust one. tbat it waa in accord
wi b 'God's will. I will sustain you aod
the brethren in all that you did. All
I fear is treachery on the part or tbe
brethern concerned. Go borne aud
tell the brethren I sustain them. Keep
ail secret as the grave. Never ted
any one, and write me a letter laying
al tha blam on tbe 1 ndians. X will
then reportto the Unieed States Gov
ernmeet that it was an Indian massa
ere. - '
liriirham Young was then and for
manv years after fully satisfied with
me and my act. - He gave me three
wives after that, and appointed nie
Probate of Judge Washington
county.
After I reported to Brigham Young
I went home and met Lieutenant Col
lonel Haigbt and gave him a full
report of Young's statement. Haigbt
said: "Well done, faithful servant;
you shall receive a celestial reward
for yonr services. Yon have deserv
ed well of God and the Church !'
Lee further claims that be was
duped from ibe first to the last, and
savs: "We were at that time in the
midst of reformation, a"d were made
to believe by tbe teachings of our
lenders that tbe fullness of time bad

Tbe United States Marshal left
Beaver, Utah, last evening witb
Jobn D.Lee. It is supposed that
tbe execution is tu take place at
Mountain Meadow, tbe scene of tbe
massacre, lbese movements ui
kept quiet as possible, as it is feared
an attempt at rescue will b made.
A company of soldiers attended ine
party. Mountain Meadow is about
ninety miles from Beaver, forty-five
miles from Cedar City, and about
twelve miles from Pine Valley, tbe
nearest telegraph office. A company
of troops with Lee passed Cedar
City at one o clock tbis morning.

Washington-, March 20 It is now
defoitely settled that at least two

Tyner will remain here to per

and ex-Secretary
