SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN M IFFL1NTOVFN. vTedaeadaT, March 2S, 1STT. B. F. St'H WEI lt, cttroi add rcorniTot. Their Behavior was UnbecomiEg. Ia the last honr of the Legisla ture the Democratic members became quite disorderly over the passage of a bill fhat takes the power of the Sheriff of Philadelphia to finch a de gre that he will be proven te J from placing Deputy Sheiiffs around the places cf voting on ejection day. If the Sheriffs of the city abused the privileges of the law on election day, most certainly every day that such law remained on the books that gave them the power to indulge in mis rule was a day too long. The relief comes none too soon. Because a Democratic Sheriff has been elected is no reason why that which the Dem ocracy complained of should not be repealed, and yet th erring brethren behaved like a set of badly trained school boys. To say the best for it, their behavior was unbecoming. They shouted. They gathered about the Speaker's desk and in menacing speech and jesture, defied him. They held & caucus, nnd solemnly resolved rot to vote for a resolution of thanks to Speaker Myer for the manner in which he administered the Parlia mentary rules. The Republicans did not offer such a resolution of thanks on adjournment, and then again the wind was taken out of the sails of the Erring Brethren, for they could not shout No. Their behavior was unbecoming. Going Back to Livery. Mail crrier in cities are uniformed Policemen are uuifuraied in cities. Brakemen, Train-masters and Conduc tors are uniformed, aod last, and mre significant still, the students of Colum bia College, New York, of a certain degree bave been uniformed. The in equality and simplicity of the fathers of the Republic are being pnt aside, and we are steadily drifting back to regal, noble, and feudal Labits. A few centuries ago every Noble house in Eu rope bad its uniform r badge promi nently displayed on thos! in its public service, and its was no uncommoa thing for servants to have a collar on, witb the name of tbe owner written on it. The scarcest people in this country are scions of the old Noble or Aristocratic bouses of Europe, but the descendants of the servant class now found in mauy of the rich people of America seem gteatly inclined to go ba, k and ape the Litered fashion of the masters of their fore fathers. Ttii3 is a free country, and it is no one's busiuefs to what degree the descendants of the peasant clats ape the habits of tbe lords of their fathers, but the babit des not conform to the ideas that the Republic is presumed to rest on. Come to Washington. President Httyes has addressed a letter to Chamberlain and Hanipdon, the contesting Governors of South Carolina, asking them to come to Washington to talk over the situa tion in dispute so as to reach a solu tion of the question as to who is the Governor of the State. Both are coming. Ex Prefide.xt Grant is making a tour of familiar places in tbe West. Tie met wttb a grand reception in Cin cinnati, Ohio. When Did the War Commence ? "General Tyner Suds difficulty in deciding when tbe late war commenced was it in December, 1860, January, 1861, April, 18C1, or May, 29, 1861. Lincoln issued bis proclamation in April, 1 SGI. Tbe question comes up with reference to the payment of tbe $375,000 to trail contractors in rebel States. Tbe mails were carried by some of tbem up to June l,and be can not tell how to pay them. The ques tion has beeu referred to the Attorney General for bis opinion." A Post-Office Agitation in Bristol, Tbe town of Bristol, this S'ate, has had a wrestle witb tbe question of Post office appointment uuder tbe new Ad minietiation, and tbe way they got through with '.he question is related by a correspondent of tbe .Yorth American in this way : It appears thit the Republicans of Bristol, entered into an agreement to bave an vlectien and decide by ballot who stu-uld bave tbe Post-office plum. Tbe Post-master, Jesse B. Mears, de clined to go into tLe election scheme. He says to-dcy that his reason for re fusing was because be thought that the civil service rules secured him in tbe place. Deluded man. Win B. Baker and a Mr. Jones entered into tbe con test. Mr Baker was elected by ninety two sr.ajnrity, and besides Congressman elect IJvan was hi friend. With this endorsement Baker lied himself to the Poet- face Department, aud succeeded in catrying off the prize. His name was sent into tbe Senate and be was confirmed. He came on W ednesday, filed his bond, which was approved, and on Thursday hia commission was made out, signed and dtltvered, and before the week is out he will preside over tbe mail-bags at Bristol. Mr. Mear put in an appearance on Thursday u.orning. and succeeded in catching General Ke at tbe White House, just as be was going into Cabinet. He told bis a lory of chagrin and surprise at being left ont in tbe cold and of bis having been butchered by a Baker. Justice at Last. Twenty years ago the Mormons, under the lead of John D. Lee, a man high in authority in the Mor mon Church, murdered a number of California emigrants at Mountain Meadows. The crime was blamed on the In dians, bat slowly and steadily it un folded itself until it pointed unmis takably to the Morntons as the actual perpetrators. They maintained themselves in the Courts for quite a time. However, at every triid the evidence of guilt came nearer and nearer until at the lost trial the conviction of Lee en sued. He was sentenced to be shot, on the spot where he led his mur derous crew to the slaughter of men, women, and children. Lee was sixty-five year old a few days before the day of execution. He was born in Illinois, and joined the Mormons when a young man. Since the murder, he has been in the Leg islature of Utah, and been a Probate Judge. How did the fiendish wretch feel during all those years when the Church honored him, when the State honored him, and when he acted as a Judge ? But justice comes at last ; it never fails to come. It may be long coming, but it does ever come. So in this case, after the lapse of twenty years it found the murderers out, and on the 23d, last Friday, the leader of the murderous crew was the first to feel the hand of justice. Lee pro tested his innocence till near the day of execution, when he made a con fession. The material points of his confession read &s follows : Those with me on the occasion of the massacre were acting under or ders from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The horrid deeds then committed were done as duty which we believed we owed to God and our Church. The Moun tain Meadows massacre was the result of the direct teachings of Brigham Young, and it was done by the orders of those high in authority in the Mormon community. The immediate orders fo the massacre were issued by Colonel Dame, Lieutenant Colo nel Isaac C. Haight and the Council at Cedar City, Utah. I held no posi tion either in the civil or military de partments, or in the Church at that time. About September 7, 1S37, I went to Cedar City, where Lieuten ant Colonel Haight gave me a full account of the emigrants who were coming. We slept in the iron works all that night and arranged our plans. Lieutenant Colonel Haight said the emigrants were a rough 6et; they were bad men, robbers and murder ers, and had helped to kill the Mor mon prophets. I believed him. I was ordered to raise the Indians to attack the train and run off the cat tle and to have the Indians kill the emigrants. I sent Carl Shirts, my son-in-law, to raise the Southern In dians for the wort Neplii Johnson went to the other tribes. On Mon day morning I left the iron works to obey orders. Lieutenant Colonel Haight 6aid : "We are acting by or ders it is all right We will let the Indians bear all the blame." INDIANS OS THE WAS PATH. On my way home I passed many Indians out on the war path. I prom ised to join them the next day. On Tuesday morning the Indians attack ed the train just at daylight, and killed 6even and wounded sixteen emi grants. The Indians lost some of their warriors. The emigrants then fortified their position, and the In dians surrounded them and sent for me. The whole county was aroused, both whites and Indians rushing to Mountain Meadows from all direc tions. I arrived at the camp late on Tuesday afternoon and found the In dians in large force. They demand ed that I should lead the attack. I refused until further orders were re ceived from Haight or Dame. I then went south ten miles and met some whites and Indians coming from that direction. I camped there that night and on Wednesday went to the Mea dows and sent a man to Cedar City for further orders. On Thursday the orders came by Major Higby. There were fifty-eight whites and about five hundred Indians there. Then Major Higby made a speech and said that the emigrants were all to be killed who could talk ; that we must get them out of the fortifica tions by treacGery. I was to follow the flag of truce and make a treaty with the besieged and promise pro tection. I was also to get the arms of the emigrants and the sick and wounded, and also the children into wagons. Then the troops, under Major Higby, would meet the emi grants. The Indians were to remain in ambush. The women were to go ahead. The Indians were then to kill the women. The militia were to kill the men and I and the drivers of tha wagons were to HU the wounded and sick that were in the wagons. Several other men then made speeches. Then we had a prayer cir cle, and then more speeches were made, and it was agreed by all parties that it was the will of God for us to do as we were ordered. On Friday morning the emigrants had a white flag flying, and the Mormon brethren again assembled. Speeches were made, and all expressed themselves as willing to act EOIX OF THE ASSASSINS PBKSEST.

The InJi:ins killed all the voaon and Lirge children. The Mormons killed the men. Tu drivers with me killed the sick and the wounded. We saved seventeen of the children. The dead were stripped and mctilaled and the corpses left on the field. The Mor mons camped on the field. The next day Lieutenant Colonel Haight, Col onel Dame and other leaders came over. Finally they quarreled. Lieu tenant Colonel Haight said to Colo nel Dame: "You ordered it, and, damn you, it is too late to go back !" Dame said he did not know there were so many of them. We buried the dead and drove the cattle to the Iron Springs. All the wagons and other property were sold in Cedar City by the order of the Church authorities. The brethren were sworn to secrecy. This was also done by order of the Church, which was then at war with the United States government GEORGE A. SXITB'8 PAST IS THE AFFAIR. George A. Smith, who was the second in the priesthood, having just happened to be there giving orders, visited the Indian camp with me. He said that the Americans were a mob of ruffians, from the President down. He asked if the Indians would kill all bad emigrants. I told him that the Indians and the Mormons were both hostile to them, and would kill all not under the protection of the Church. This pleased him, and he laughed and said, "All right" Lieutenant Colonel Haight and Colonel Dame told him the same thing. He taught the people that it was their duty to kill all emigrants and massacre them just as Brother Smith and the other leaders wanted All this was re potted to Brigham Young, who said he would "communicate with God," to see if it was right and the next morning he reported that it was right He said : " Brother Lee, not a drop of innocent blood has been shed. I have gone to God in prayer. God has shown me it was a juut act The people did right but were only a little hasty. I have direct evidence from God that the act was a just one, that it was in accord with God's wilL I sustain yon and the brethren in all that you did. All I fear is treachery on the part of the brethren con cerned. Go home and tell the breth ren I sustain them. Keep all secret as the grave. Never tell any one, and write me a letter laying all the blame on the Indians. I will then report to the United States Govern ment that it was an Indian massacre." After this honors and wives were bestowed upon Lee by Young, and he was promised a "crown celestial" for his services. He says that only cow ardice has now induced Young to de sert him. " We were followers of false teachers," he concludes : "I have fallen a victim to the arts of foolish and wicked men that I once believed were divine. I have had eighteen wives. Eleven of them have been divorced from me by Brigham Young ; three still remain true to me, and have clung to me during my impris onment I am the father of sixty four children. Ten are dead ; fifty four are still living. " The witnesses on my trial have not told the whole truth. They are all guilty of helping to kill the emi grants. This is the only act of vio lence that I ever took part in except when in lawful battle," A .Married Woman's Sole- An Allegheny county farmer recent ly purchased a little knowledge of the law, for which be paid at an cxtrava gaut rate.

Tis true I have seen much of the Donkey, and know more of his ways, but never, no, never, have I seen him in such an attitude. This sight almost blinds my vision andjchills My blood, for quicker than lightning, quick as thought, it suggests that perhaps the noble, noble, right royal Donkey is dead. Dreadful thought ! I cannot believe it. Dead ! No, not dead ; he only sleepeth. Ah ! but when I would have it only a sleep, those dark-winged and dark plumaged birds that hover in the air and sit on the noble beast's haunch-bone, uttering their harsh caw ! caw ! caw ! are the certain signs that the Donkey has run his last race. What an awful bird the crow is 'Tis an awful bird to eat. I guess it will eat the Donkey, and then I guess we'll have to turn and eat the crow. Foor Donkey ! Poor crow ! If the crow eats the Donkey it will not be so hard to eat the crow, and then we have eaten crow so often within the past fifteen years that we are getting used to eating it. We ate it over the "Nigger" question ; we ate it over the currency question, and now we are eating it with a relish with Key in the Hayes Cabinet, and shouting, More, more crow, to the extent of as many of the officers as you can give us, Mr. Hayes. But, hang it, that's nothing ; the whole pity is that the crows are about to eat the Donkey. A Bold Robbery at Lancaster. A dispatch from Lancaster on the 22nd iast., says : This afternoon, as Mr. M. O. Kline, cashier of Cotton Mill No. '2, bad prepared bis envelope packages to pay off the bands, auiouut mg wail to about $10,000, a young man named Edward P. Wilbelm, who had been discharged a few day ago, came into tbe office. So luucb by way ot promise. Being pay day, Mr. M.O. Kiine, the cashier, beariug in bis hands a drawer, divided into two compart ments, or pigeon boles started from the office for the mill, accompanied by the ( ffioe boy, Joseph M'Evoy, aged seven teen years. Each compartment ot this box contained tBve!o es filled ifh mon ey for the employees, the total amount being about $'J,5u0. Tlie office boy preceded Mr. Kline, and as he opened the tower door of No. i mill be was blinded by something which was thrown in bis ryes by a tall, slender person dressed in female attire. Twice, thrice the red pepper for such it was was dashed into bis face, and, Muarting witb pain and almost blinded, he ran away. The next instant, ju? as Mr. Kiiue was about entering the door, he was struck on the top of hi head with a black jick, or billy," in the hand of the supposed female. The first blow staggered him, but it was not until be received two more Mow on the had that he dropped tLe drawer and seizvd hix aailant, wrenching the billy trout his nplitied h.,nd which wag about tn deal him another blow. Tlie next instant the assailant releas ed his h' Id on Mr. K , gathere 1 up au arm'til ff the. envelopes and dirted like a d. ei through the mill, passing through th- f; iiiimy room, out of the tear door, over the fence and down tbe Quarry villc railroad. The alarn had cow be come general aod a number of mill bands started in pursuit. They were soon rewarded by seeing Jacob Kauii, wood and coal dealer on Water street, heading off the fleeing desperado, who had dropped tbe precious en7elopes at every step. Tbey caught up with tbe fugitive none to toon, for be was in a desperate mood and would probably bave overcome bis captcr. As it was' it required balf a dozen stalwart men to overcome him, and he was at once recognized as Ed win Buchanan Will.eliii, the discharged employee. He was taken in bis dis guise to the office of No 2 mill, where he was soon stripped and searched. His disguise was complete. He wote a very pretty brown chignon, witb a gray woolen nubia, witb silk tassels, over his head. Ilia dreas was a plain, but new and neat calico, and a barred woolen shawl enveloped bis shoulders. He also wore a balmo.-al skirt, and bis dress pocket was filled with red pepper, enough to blind a regiment of wen. In bis pantaloon pockets were found a number of enve'opes and a sev en barreled revolver, with every barrel loaded. He had net tbe opportunity tn use this weapon, or we might now be writing a terrible tragedy He, of course, bad no excuse to offer, and his conduct was bold and defiant through out. His face being clean shaved, and having small featurs, he was admirably adapted for personating a female. About ten minutes after bis capture Officer Eichholti arrived, and putting the handcuffs on him took bim to the office of Alderman Spurrier, followed by a great throng of people. Mr. Kline sustained no serious injury, hav i ijr only received two slight cuts on the top of the head. Tbe probable lots is $100 or $200. A Joke. A pnso.net was placed in tbe East ern Penitentiary Thurnday morning who was recently convicted of borse stealing in Carbon county and senteo ced to four years imprisonment. Tbe convict claims that be did nut steal tbe borse, but that be took tbe animal and placed him in his stable for a joke on the owner. The owner did not like that sort of a joke, and prosecuted the joker witb tbe result as above stated. When thie young man again regains his liberty, tbe chances are that he will eschew practical joking in tbe future. Among; tbe Letters. Frederiok J - Gross, the distributing clerk of the Chicago Post-office, was yesterday discovered slipping letters under a newspaper and thence to an in side pocket. He was railed to an in terview with Special Treasury A cent Stewart, and confessed to the theft, placing the amount of bis stealings at $500. His transactions bave beeu con fined to business letters. r T... y , Major Reno's Trial. A dispatoh to the Chicago Tribune, under date of March 21st, says : In tbe military tribuual yesterday Judge Ad vocate Barr summed up tbe evidence agaiust Major Reno. The specifica tions are : First. That lteno, being the com mander at Fort Abercromble, called at tbe quarters of Mrs. Bell while her husband was absent in New York at the bedside of his rick father, and took im propei liberties, attempting to draw ber to bis person. Second. Being repelled, be stepped outside, but remained inside tbe storm door, and when Mis. Bell was pussii g out some time afterward caught ber band and renewed bis attempt. This outrage she reported to Ileno's wife. Third. Reno afterwards threatened to make it bot for ber because she did not invite bim to a social gathering at her quarters, and to drive ber out of tbe regiment. Fourth. That he cast reflection upon ber character in speaking to the Chap lain of the garrison, and bad insisted on bis no stopping at ber place or hold ing religious services there. The fifth and sixth specifications cover substantially tbe same ground. Seventh. Reno raid to Lieutenant Wallace tbat Mrs. Bell bad better cease fighting dim; her character was vulner able, and he coud easily blast it. Eight. Afterward he publicly humil iated Mrs. Bell by giving orders that she should uot play the organ at Divine service and threatened to stop the ser vice if she were allowed to play. The prosecution called Mrs. Bell, Chaplain Wainwright, Captain Benton, Lieutenant allace aod others, and clearly established each specification. Tbe defence bad little cvidenc, the ac cused not being allowed to testify nor to produce witnesses against Mrs. Bell's character, Ex-Oovernor Davis summed up tbe case for Reno, and was answered by Barr, after wbicb the ease was taken under advisement and a verdict will be rent to the army headquarters.
