Bring film to the Ear of Justice.
It now tarns oat that the late Chief
Justice Titus, of Arieona, aud formerly
of this city, bad iu bis possession the
order given to murder the emigrants
who fell at Mountain Meadows in April,
1357. This order, which has been
published siuce the execution of Lee,
furnishes positive proof that Brighaoi
Young was the pirjector of the mas
sacre. General Wells, who issued tbe
diabolical order, states in it that'-Pres-ident
Young advises that they should
be all killed." Weils suggests thai
"every precaution should be taken aud
see that no one escapes." J ud-e Hughes,
wbo was associated with Judge Titus
s law partner, states that the latter
never doubted tbe genuineness of the
order or tbe guilt of Brigbatn Young.
As the documeot was sworn to by per
sons as being the original received by
tbe officer in cooiuiaud cf the escort
from Well?, it seems to as that the au
thorities should be able to bring Brig
bam Young to trial for issuing the in
famous order. Lee was but the tool in
the bands of this boary-beaded aud
sanctimonious villain, lie bas man
aged to escape pmisbnient for his in
numerable crimes, and it is about time
that a strong effort ba made to bring
him to the bar of justice. jYorth Amer

Citizens of the United States to Brother Jonathan, or bather the Government We do re
member, Brother Jonathan, tnat in the fall campaign of -1874 the Democrats talked hard times
to us people, and promised that if we would elect a Democratic Congress, it would give us bet
ter times. We all kiiow that on that plea a Democratic Congress was elected The people
voted for them by thousands. That party has sadly disappointed us. If they knew they had
no grounds for such promises they should not have made them. Instead of the times lettering,
they have gotten worse, until almost all kinds of paper, excepting (J. S. paper,- is at a fearful
discount, and business is more than at a stand-still. Instead of doing something to better the
times, they helped to destroy the confidence in the Southern Pacific Railroad enterprise, which
actually employed thousands upon thousands of hands and honestly paid them, and besides that,
kept hundreds of other men employed m making iron for it. The Democracy in Congress not
only did that, but it cut down all Governmental appropriations, which also threw thousands
upon thousands ot others ttgain out of employment ; and now they are again coining to us and
saying to us, "See what we have done in the way of economy."
Brother Jonathan My children, it saddens my heart to witness the evidences of hard times,
in the thousands upon thousands of, unemployed citizens ; and what you have said of promises
made to the country is true. Congress will meet in June, and it may be well to remind the
men who were playing fast and loose on the stump, of their broken promises. If they can not
help us, as they promised, they are only time-servers, and should be remembered for their deception.
