Terrible Murder of Signers of Ante-Bellum Bonds. . Lawlessness in Cass County and Terror of the People. GOVERNOR BROWN TO THE RESCUE. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Kansas Crry, Mo., April 27, 1872. Aspecial despatch from Jt. Louis has informed you in brief of the fearful massacre near Holden, in this State, but the extraordinary nature of the cir- cumstance, which has no paralielin the history of Missouri, calls for a more extended account. Though not as full as I could wish, the following statement will enable your readers to comprehend the situation, Let me premise, however, by men- tioning that the portion of the State in which this awful tragedy was perpetrated has long heen recog- nized as the “dark and bloody ground” of Missouri, On Wednesday evening, ex-Judge Stevenson, J. R. Cline and a man named Dutro, and others, of Harrisonville, Cass county, took the Eastern bound train on the Paola Branch of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, for Holden, Missouri, on their Way to Clinton, to attend a railroad meeting. Just before leaving Harrisonville they were warned that the train would be attacked at East Lynne or Gunn City station by a mob, and that they would be lynched, They discredited the rumor, however, and proceeded on their way. Passing East Lynne without trouble, they thought the danger was over. Such, however, was not the case, for at Gunn City they were ATTACKED BY A MASKED MOB of abouteighty men, and the three men named were brutally murdered, This place is situated nearly midway between Harrisonville and Holden, about eleven miles from each place. Upon the south side of the track stands anew frame store kept by A. R. Zook; upon the other side of the track stand two rough shanties, one stamped “Post Ofice,” the other is a blacksmith’s shop. About three hundred yards east of these shanties stands a whitewashed one story farmhouse, These four houses stand unconcealed by brush out on the prairie. The gang that stopped the train wore observed by farmers in the vicinity to as- semble ata schoolhouse about half amile from Gunn City. MASKED ASSASSINS. There they masked themselves with pieces of cloth, pasteboard and pocket handkerchiefs, number of them turned their coats and made other efforts to disguise themselves. Just as the train glided away three suspicious looking men jumped on the train and paid their fares to Gunn City. These three men were buttoned closely up to the chin and each carried revolvers. ‘They were joined by two more men of like character at East Lynne. Three of these men took their stations at the brakes, while one, @ sandy-bearded man from Harrisonville, @arted through the car counting the passengers, inquiring names, distance to Gunn City, and mak- ing close observation of everything upon the train, Gunn City being only a flag station no stop was in- tended. On Wednesday evening the train whistled when in sight of the switch, when the strange men were observed to be es anging signals with some parties ahead. Just as the engine came be- tween and opposite the blacksmith shop and Zook’s store THE STRANGE MEN ON THE TRAIN set the brakes. At the same time the doors of the blacksmith shop were thrown open and a crowd of armed men rushed out. se were met upon the opposite side by others from the store. While a party took possession of the engine and engineer | and kept them under guard, others placed rails be- neath and upon both sides of all the wheels on the train, Seizing upon a favorable opportunity the engineer suddenly drew open the steam throttle and hooked down the engine to her full stroke, while the intrepid fireman slyly let off the brakes, but the train could not move immediately. Half a dozen of the mobrushed onthe train and with their pistols thrust against the heads of the en- gineer and fireman prevented a further attempt to move the train, The mob then called for Cline and commenced AN INDISCRIMINATE FIRING into the train. Ctine fired back, emptying his pis- tol and wounding two of the mob, but how se- riously is not known. ‘They were borne away by their comrades bieeding. Cline was then assured that if he would surrender he should not be hurt, and stepped out upon the platform of the station with his pistol reversed. Immediately he was SHOT THROUGH THE HEART and fell dead. After he was dead others of the mob approached and emptied their pistols into his body until it had been pierced by over forty bullets. A rush was next made for the baggage, mail and smoking cars, where Stephenson and Dutro were. That car having been closed they battered down the door and side of the car with rails, and thus effecting an entrance killed them in the same brutal manner, Their bodies were dragged out and laid side by side on the platform. Search was made for others supposed to be interested in a late issue of bonds in that county or friendly to the murdered men, and threats were made to kill ailsuch., Not finding any others the obstructions were removed from the track and the train was al- lowed to proceed. Next morning an inquest was held on the bodies of the murdered men, but the people were so intimidated by the mob that nothing was elicited. The bodies were then sent home to Harrisonville in a lumber wagon, and that of Cline has since been brought to this city and was interred here to-day. The mob was composed of former bushwhackers, men of the most desperate and lawless character, and who claim to be one thousand strong. They have perfect organization, and their movements were regulated with all the precision of a well disciplined military com- pany. They threaten the lives of all who have any- thing to do with the issue of the bonds referred to. They haye threatened to burn Harrisonville and Hol- den, aud are now reported to be proposing to settle THE OLD GRIEVANCES OF THE WAR. Cass county is intimidated, and the people dare not say a word against the mob. Many were recog- nized at the massacre, and they have sent letters to all who are supposed to know anything about them, threatening their lives if they tell, and many people are fleeing from the county. Judge Forsythe, Mr. Hines and others interested in the issue of the bonds have already made their escape. Governor Brown has called out three companies of militia, The and efforts will be made to suppress the mob, history of this bond matter is briefly as follows: Before the war the county voted $100,000 stock to | the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and county bonds were issued, but not delivered. During the war the bonds were captured by federal authorities and turned over to the railroad, to which they were supposed to belong. Since the war these bonds were returned to an agent of the county, but not | destroyed, and a few weeks ago the county authori- ties were induced to find them and fraudulently issue $229,000 in bonds to another company. The bonds were taken partly to St. Louis by Judge Stevenson and N. D. Ladue, attorney for the road, for which the new bonds were issued, and the balance were brought to this city by J. R. Cline, at- torney for the county, and a man named Higgins, who committed suicide here at the time. Ladue and Stevenson were arrested in St. Louts and Cline in Parson, Kan., and were all under bonds to appear at Court for trial according to the aruninal laws of Al Missouri, At the time of the arrests the people were much excited, and threats of violence were freely made, Since that time the mob has been organizing, and the trouble has at last had this terrible culmination, The Adjutant General of the State has telegraphed orders to the militia com- pany of this city to go to Cass county immediately, and it will leave to-night. THE NEW DOMINION. ceiiieere The Canada Pacific Railroad Under Discussion in Parliament—Conditions of the Proposed Con- tracts—The Fenian Invasion—The Official Correspondence Between the Gov- ernments at Washington, Lon- don and Ottawa. Orrawa, Ontario, April 27, 1872. The most important bill of the session was intro- duced in the House of Commons last night by Sir George Cartier. It provides for the construction of the Canada Pacific Railway. According to the terms by which British Columbia came into the Union the road is to be commenced not later than July, 1873, and completed within ten years, The proposition of the government is that the road shall start from Lake Nipissing, from which point to the Pa- cific coast the distance is some twenty-seven hun- dred miles. The work is tobe done by a private com- pany, which shall give proof of its bona jlde ability for undertaking it by lodging with the Receiver Gen- eral the sum of $1,000,000, Under the bill the gov- ernment will have power to arrange with any one of the company now applying for the charter, or with an amalgamation of them. The subsidy to the company will consist of lands and money, the land grant’ to be alternate blocks of twenty miles deep, anda money subyention of some $20,000,000, The blocks of land have been made twenty miles in depth, so as to make the Dominion grant uniform with that agreed to be given by British Columbia, The government ex- pect that the quantity of land, in alternate blocks, reserved by them will be sutticient to reimburse the country for the money subsidy. But, even if it should not, the Treasury is now in a sufficiently healthy condition, as Sir George Cartier remarked, to justify the expenditure. spread over ten years as it will be, 4 In addition to the main line two branches are proposed to be built—one from some point in Mani- toba to the boundary line, and another from a point on the main line to Lake Superior. It is not pro- posed to make any grant in money to these branches, a8 several companies are applying to carry out the work. There will be no dificnity, Sir bt observed, in proceeding with the undertak- ng. The correspondence between the Dominion and imperial governments relative to the claims arising from the Fenian invasion of Canada, was laid on the table. The correspondence dates back to June, 1870, and the substance of a good deal of it was communicated to the House at the last session, upon the return from England of the Hon, Mr. Campbell, who strongly urged upon the English government the Canadian claims for damages in- flicted on the Dominion government by these raids; following which is the report of the Council requesting Her Majesty's government to instruct Sir Edward Thornton to inform the Canadian government of the various representations which he may have made to the United States government, in order that they may be enabled to make out astatement. The order of the Council comes next, and is a the Fenian invasions from 1866, and what respects the United Sta hav in their duty as a friendly Power, Karl K ley replies that the document re ed had been forwarded to Her Majesty's High Commissioners at Washington, on the 20th of June. Earl Kimberley writes informing the Canadian government that the United States Commissioners: declined to receive the claims, expressing his re- gret at that result, and pointing out that the choice was between withdrawing the claims or abandoning the negotiations. ‘The last document is the report of the Council, in which Her Majesty's government are reminded that John O'Neil, who had recently been arrested by the United States authorities while leading an invasion of Fenians into Manitoba, general history of points out in e fail was the person who led the raid on the province of Ontario in 1866, and the second one on the province of Quebec in 1870, It also shows that O'Neil and others had been arrested by the United States authorities on both oceasions; once without prosecution to a convic- tion; and that in 1870, having been tried and con- Victed, O'Neil was pardoned and discharged after a very short imprisonment, ‘The committee further urge that communication representing the continued ¢ other pe such manne ir being pros n, niliction | of punishment commensurate with their repeated otfences. THE CHEROKEE MASSACRE. The Sheriff Claims that t United States Marshals Were to Blame—Sut Beck the Aggressor. Sr. Lovrs, April 21, 18 The Cherokee Advocate, an ofticial organ of the Cherokee Nation, states that the attacking party in the bloody affair at Going Snake Court House some days ago was the Marshal's posse, and that the Sheriff's guard did not fire until Proctor, the prisoner on trial, had been wounded. The as- sault was made by Sut Beck, a Cherokee interested in the prosecution of the prisoner. The Sheriif of the Going Snake district, has made a lengthy and circumstantial report of the affair, and attach the entire blame of the massacre to the United States Marshal's part, INDIAN COUNTRY DESPERADOES.

Agentleman who has just arrived from the ter- minus of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, in the Indian Territory, says that the railroad company moved their terminus from Muskogee to Otskehotsko last Monday and found the place in the possession of white desperadoes, under the leader- ship of aman called “Tiger Bill,” who refused to leave. A telegram was sent to General Pope for assist- ance, and Lieutenant Quimby, with fifteen men, ‘was ordered down from Fort Riley, Kan. When the informant left Lieutenant Quimby had arrived and notified the outlaws to leave the Terri- tory or suffer the consequences; but they still re- fused to go, and a collision between them and the military was traminent.

Among the witnesses examined whose testimony was not of much importance were James A.

An Element of Discord Brought Into | the Tariff Discussion. SRE ISS cela MR. BECK’S OLD HOBBY What Has Become of the Money for Lands Sold by the War Departinent ? PROTECTION TARIFFS NOT ALL PROFIT. The Postal Telegraph Bill in the Senate. Mr. Ramsey's Speech Favoring the Speedy Passage of the Measure, Commissioner Gurney’s Declaration Con- cerning the Washington Treaty. WASHINGTON, April 27, 1872, Another Day Devoted to the Tariff Bill— A Side Issue with the Treasury Depart- ment—Messrs. Wood, Garfield, Beck and Burchard Discussing the Measure. ‘There was a thin attendance in the House to-day, the debate on the tariff not being fairly launched yet. The day was spent in speechmaking, Mr. Wood, of New York, leading off. At the outset he said that it was impossible to determine by the oft- cial reports of receipts and expenditures what the actual demands were or how much taxation could be reduced to meet the wants of the government, as a large amount of money spent, the result of property sold by the War Department, had never been accounted for, This statement started the standing quarrel afresh which Mr. Beck has with the War Department, and some time was spent in discussing the ques- tion whether the $105,000,000 received for property sold by the Quartermaster’s Department has ever been properly charged in the accounts of that department. Mr. Garfield gave notice that at some proper time he should take the opportunity to answer specifically these charges. Mr. Wood defended his vote placing tea and coffee on the free list, for which he had been arraigned by his party, and said nothing could be done in the way of re. ducing taxation that would so benefit the poor as this. He said that tea and coffee had, to @ great extent, taken the pla of stronger drinks with the laboring class that in his opidion more of these tw ‘ticles were used in the poor man’s family than in that of the mil- lionnaire. He quoted from the fathers of the party to prove that this action was no new departure, and asserted that the democratic party, from 1832. to to 1861, during which period they held alinost un- interrupted sway, never passed u tariff bill taxing tea and coffee. He said the tax on woollens was not felt by the poor, and, to prove this, stated as an example that a pair of blankets costing $5 would last ten years, Mr. Wood advocated payment of the public debt and a reduction of all duties on articles of general consumption. Mr. Burchard followed Mr. Wood in a long and able speech in de- fence of the bill as reported by the committee. He said had the committee failed to report a bill fixing the rate on articles to be reduced and accepted the proposed ten per cent, reduction it would have been a virtual acknowledgment that it was incapa- ble of preparing ascale of reduction. Mr. Bur- chard claimed that the internal revenue tax on articles of consumption was less corrupting in its influence and more efficient in {ts operations than any other mode of taxation; that it repre- sents the needs of the government, and not local He said the debt-ridden governments of | Europe dare not oppress their people with the grievous taxation inflicted upon us; that the na- tion was suffering from the infliction of eleven tariff bills, passed since 1861, during a time when the exi- gencies of the government demanded them, and none of them had yet been repealed. He denied that excessive protection was a benefit to national prosperity, Mr. Burchard made an able showing for the side of the majority, and explained the provisions of the bill in detail, claiming that by it consumers were benefited with as little detriment to the Treasury as possibie, and asked for the support of the House in its passage.

Recorder Russell Gurney, the English Commis- sioner, salled to-day for London from New York, He remarked, to Judge Frazer, before leaving Washington on Wednesday, that until a very short time before leaving he did not ex- pect to return to the United States, believing that the firm attitude of his government would pre vent the Geneva Tribunal from proceeding, which would end the Treaty of Washington. On the day of his departure he assured Judge Frazer that if the proposition of Secretary Fish was carried out by | our government he had every reason to believe that | , it would be acceptable to the British government | and the treaty would stand, This opinion, from the Englishman who has on several occasions openly | declared that the treaty must fail, is construed by | the opponents of Seeretary Fish as m we are willing to be dictated to by Great Britain.

Fun of Releasing afl the Mormom Prisoner. Sarr Lame, April 27, 1872. An effort was made to-day, based on the action of the Probate Court in Brigham Young's case, to dis- charge Hampton Blythe, Burt Stout, Kim- ball and others, indicted for the murder of Dr. Robertson and others, on a writ of habeas corpus, before Judge Smith, in the” bate Court. Marshal Patrick brought the prisoners from Camp Douglas, but before the: return to the writ was made another writ, lasued by Judge Hawley, was served on and brought his prisoners before the latter. ‘The hear- ing was postponed until Monday, in the Distric6- Court, while the Probate Jndge adjourned, atter hearing of the return to bis writ, until the after- noon, not desiring to push matters, The needful precautions were taken to prevent the higher Court being ridden over by an inferior one. Brigham Young and President Smith were at the Probate Court to witness the discharge of prisone: and were evidently surprised and disappointed the turn of affairs. ‘This action of Judge Hawley's shows to the com- munity that the District Court still exists and ta superior to the Probate Court, and that a Mormon Judge is not the only judicial power in the ‘Terri- ory. The decision of the Supreme Court has paralyzed all sales in real estate in the Yerritory. Brigham Young adjourns Conference to-morrow, and great crowds are expected to celebrate the victory of “Zion over the heathen.”” PIGEONS.
