BRITISH CATHOLICS AND THR POPE, It ts reported here that at a meeting of Roman Catholic members of Parliament on Wednesday it was resolved to present an ad- dress to the Pope on the occasion of the fiftieth anni- versary of his episcopate, Probably a deputation will go to Rome to present the address to His Holiness, It 18 reported that a circular to bishops has been Issued from the Vatican counselling patience and ab- sention from provocation during the expected period of increased persecution. THE POPR’S HEALTH, According to a Roman despatch the Pope has been somewhat indisposed during the past few days, but there is no immediate cause for alarm. He was carried from bis room to hold tho consistory of Tucsday last, and received one ambassador the day before, but with this exception all audiences have beon suspended. It ia stated that tho Pope stillentertains the idea of the reassombling of the Vatican Council. He bas had a Bow set of queries submitted to all the Car- djnals, so that they may decide if the de- lay in solving some of tho questions which the previous Council left undetermined be not calculated to injure the Church, Itis said if tho Cardinals reply in the affirmative, the Council will re- open in November.

Anglo-American and Direct United States Cablo stocks are very strong, and quotations for both are higher than for many months, It is rumored that the rise is because of the favorable progress of negotiations Jor a working agreement. The directors of the United States Direct Cable Com- pany have issued a circular announcing their resignation. ‘The circular states that tho directors, seeing that the policy which they supported of laying a second cable is at present quite hopeless, have recorded their resolution that they would support Mr. Pender’s committee in ite policy of forming a working arrangement with the Anglo-American Company, which they readily admit may also lead to a prosperous future, GOLD FOR AMERICA. ‘The White Star line steamer Britannic, which sailed trom Liverpool yesterday for New York, took out Bpecie to the value of £20,000, THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE, Tho betting yesterday on the University boat raco ‘was 55 to 40 in favor of Cambridge. THE NEW. DOMINION. NAVIGATION OF THE HUDSON BY CANADIAN VESSELS, OrTawa, Ont, March 22, 1877. A return was presented to the House last night of correspondence between the Vominion, the United States and the Jmperial governments, respecting the Navigation of American canals and rivers. The con- clusion of the correspondence is given in a memoran- dum forwarded by Karl Dufferin to Sir Kdward Thorn- ton under date November 17, 1876, and is as foliows:— Memorandum respecting the present position of the question of inspection of goods in transit by United States customs officers at Island Pond, and the uso of United States canals by Canadian yeasels: There remaius yet unsettled the question of the right of nadian = vessels. «With = cargo to load in Canadian rts for New York and otber ports on the Hudson River, which right is persistently d@sied, and in consequence of which any merchandise transported in a Canada bottom can only be taken as far as Albany, and thero entered at customs and transshipped into a United States vessel, jor trunsportation to its destinavon. This question involves the lJarger one of tho rignt of Canada to the free navigation of the Hudson, which appears by tho Washington Treaty to be conceded tn the ofthe canals. The canal bofore’ mettioned in connection with the Iudson River, constiinted agreat marino highway between Canadian ports on the Sti. Law- reuce und the great lakes and the United States ports on said Hudson River and seaboard, and cutting off of any one Ifnk or section renders the remainder nearly if not quite practically uscioss, On the other hand since tho Washington Treaty Canada has pertait- ted United States vessels free use of her canals und rivers uuinterruptedly. A case in pointand similar to the Hudson is the Ottawa River and the Grenville Canal, where United States vessels have enjoyed all priviloges that Canadian vessels have, In a letter of the Honorable tho Secretary of the Treagury under ‘ato of September 16, 1875, communicated to His Excellency the Governor General by Sir Edward Thornton, under date of Novem- ber 30 following, the right of Cunadian ves- sels to pass the southorn terminus of tho canals at Albany, iato the Hudson River, in prosecution of a voyage [rom a Canadwn port to the port of New York or any other port on said river, 18 positively denied and has not since been conceded. The conciuding sentence of the letter read: This departinent docs not feel authorized to recognize the right of Canadian vessels to transport cargoes, in bond, from ‘Canada to New York.” SUICIDE OF A JEWELLER.

[By TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] CEDAR City, Utah, March 22, 1877. You will be no doubt surprised at receiving my despatch from this place, which 18, as you will see by the map, thirty-five miles south of Beaver City. WHAT A DAY MAY BRING FORTH, Last evenmg when I took my supper I little thought that my duty as the HERALD correspondent ‘would take me away from Beaver City. There John D. Lee, the condemned Mormon mur- derer, was quietly lodged in jail awaiting the time when he was to be led forth and shot to death, as his victims were twenty years ago. A MARKED ¥IFFERENCE. ‘Lrue, the unfortunate victims of the Mountain Meadows massacre were suddedly surrounded and treacherously shot down ata a moment when they believed themselves to be surrounded by triends, Yet'stern justice called for the blood of the mur- derer, and as I quietly ate my supper last evening I thought of the dread certainty and formal pro- ceeding that would be carried out on the morrow of Friday. ‘ Thad been told that the execution of Lee would be a private one, and, believing the statement of Marshal Nelson, I began to imagine the scene be- forehand. NATURAL ENOUGH, I saw the dull walls of the prison, the small num- ber of spectators who were to be present, and I saw alittle group of men standing apart who held rifles in their hands, This was the firing party, and in their weapons lay jhe leaden balls that were to seek the heart of Lee and shed his blood as he had shed that of his innocent victims. DEPRESSING, BUT SAFE. It was not a-pleasant supper occupation, yet a natural one, under the circumstances, and I lost no appetite while my thoughts ran in this guise, A CHANGE OF PROGRAMME, You may judge of my surprise to find, on repair- ing to the office of the United States Marshal, Mr. Nelson, lor the purpose of gleaning the latest gossip about Lee and his actions, to find that prepurations were being made to leave the city. MARCHING ORDERS, ‘The Marshal had already sent word to my hotel that I was wanted, and when I entered his office he informed me that it had been decided to execute the condemned man on the very scepe where he had committed his fearful crime. I was to make all needtul preparation and be ready to accompany the column as soon as possible. DRAMATIC PROPRIETY. The dramatic feature of taking Lee to the graves of his victims and there shedding his blood was apparent at a glance, so with a quickened pulse at the novelty of the situation I ran back to my room and prepared for the journey. rs A NIGHT RIDE. The sun had scarcely sunk behind the hills wnen remarkable cortége moved out of the gates of the Penitentiary at Beaver City, THE CORTEGE. First came ten or twelve mounted troop- ers, and behind them a covered wagon con- taining the prisoner. On either side were more cavalrymen, and the procession was closed by some fifteen or twenty more mounted men, Slowly and silently the cortége moved forward, and as the shades of evening deepened we found our- selves outside of the town, The United States Marshal and his deputies rode near the wagon containing the condemned man, whlie two of them were also inside, ATTEMPT AT RESCUE FEARED. As Marshal Nelson and United States District At- tornay Howard still feared that efforts would be made by the adherents of Lee to rescue him, the movements of the guard were kept a profound se- cret, and few, even inside the prison, were aware that the Mountain Meadows murderer had been removed. NIGHT SCENES IN THE MOUNTAINS, As wo rode silently forward the strange forms of the mountains took on stranger shapes in the dark- ness, and the long ride before us through the night mare every one thoughtful. A DISMAL ROUTE. ‘To ride a distance of son ert and osage plain, through canyon and mountain e ninety miles over des. pass, in the darkest hours of the night, our only Nght that of the new moon, was an undertaking not contemplated by your correspondent; but the novelty and suddenness of the summons made the adventure a most exciting one. % PASSING CEDAR CITY. Our arrival at Cedar City, between the hours of one and two o’elock in the morning, was appar- ently unnoticed, tor we moved in quietiy, and the cortége remained in the place only long enough to secure some provender for the horses, HOODWINKING THE NATIVES, No one was informed of our purpose, and those who witnessed the entrance and de- parture of the party were led to believe that it was a mere military mancuvre of no great signiticance, Little did the few sleepy loungers who stood on the tavern steps at that early hour in the morning imagine that in the wagon we had carried John D, Lee, the condemned murderer, SUCCESSFUL SECRECY. The expedition was admirably planned for se- crecy, and its movements were entirely successful. THE MORNING HALT, I hurriedly write these lines while the party 1s halted for rest, twenty miles beyond Cedar City, and send them back by courier to be tele graphed to the HERALD. Strict silence has been enjomned upon me until this moment, and I am only now permitted to give yon the facts because it is considered safe to reveal them, THE FINAL ARRANGEMENTS. ‘The execution will take place soon after our ar- rival on the scene of the massacre—probably before the hour of noon, It is not yet decided” whether the firing party will be composed of regular soldiers or deputy marshals, but I presume that the military will have nothing to do with the execution of justice, except as guards to preserve the peace and prevent a rescue, A HARD RIDE IN PROSPECT. I shall return to Cedar Gity after seeing Lee executed and telegraph the details therefrom. It will be a ride of over forty-five miles, but Iam well mounted and it is the nearest point of telegraphic communication. To show you what a dificult country we are pass- ing through I need only append a brief description of the route of our march and the places through which we have passed or must pass on our journey. BEAVER CITY. The city stands in the middle of Beaver Valley, which is ten miles in width, and lies between the Mineral and Beaver ranges of mountains. A num- ber of small streams, forming the head waters of Beaver Creck, cross the valley from east to west at Beaver City. Ot these, that known as North Creek penetrates the Beaver range north- eastward of the city and derives its waters chiefly from the slopes of Baldy Peak, @ mountain 11,730 feet above sea level. Further north still Indian Creek, another tributary of Beaver Creek, drains the rugged slopes of Belknap’s Peak, which is 14,894 feet above the sea. The city is built on the old emigrant trail from Sait Lake City to California, now the mail route, and {s the county seat. Fort Cameron, a small military post, is situated on the eastern side of the city, and distant about two miles. Greenville and Adamsville, two small Mormon villages, are situated near Beaver City, the first four and the second nine miles to the west- ward. They are on the road between Beaver and Minersville, a village which stands at the southerly extremity of the Mineral range. THE SURROUNDING COUNTRY. Being situated ina valley, completely surrounded by mountains, Beaver City is somewhat isolated. A telegraph line, however, connects it with the outer world, and enabledj me to give you particu- lars of what was transpiring in regard to Lee and his approaching doom. With the vast region to the eastward, broken by innumerable ridges and fur- rowed by deep canyons, and patched with broad, sterile plateaus, and on the western side by great stretches of desert intersected by ridges and monumented by solitary peaks and buttes, the vicinity of Beaver presents the strangest of aspects to one accustomed to Eastern landscapes, THE MINES, Here and there the log shanties of the mingrs can be discerned on the mountain slopes. The shafts and derricks stand like the skeletons of former structures in the midst of a ruined region. The ravines that scar the mountain forms give the idea that some tremendous warfare of nature was fought out in the Territory, leaving evidences of the strife on every object around. But the mines are being actively worked, and here and there give excellent returns for the labor. Much tron abounds tn this region, as is in- dicated by the numerous springs of water impreg- nated with that metal that are found in every di- rection. FROM BEAVER TO CEDAR CITY. Between these two points the road, which isa continuation of the old emigrant trail, crosses the moyntains that timit Beaver Valley on the south and descends Into Parowan Valley near the westerly end of Fremont’s Pass, On the cast side of this de- pression the lofty Parowan range of mountains lifts gigantic peaks toward the - skies, But on the westerly side the hills are com- paratively low and separate the valley Irom @ parallel depression known as Rush Lake Valley. In Parowan Valley is the water known as Little Salt Lake, which receives the western draln- age of the Parowan range. The roads from Miners- ville and Beaver City meet at the village of Para- goonah, about fourand a half miles northeastward of Parowan, The latter ls a county seat and an important settlement, being in telegraphic commu. nication with Salt Lake City. ¢ CEDAR CITY. Entering Rash Lake Valley from the northe: ward, and following still the old trall line, Cedar City is reached, the headquarters of the Mountain Meadows murderers and the last settlement at which the slaughtered emigrants rested for a while during their long journey. The vicinity of Cedar in iron deposits and springs, several mills are constructed near the town. The Iron Mountains, about nine miles to the westward shelter the valley and make its climate similar to that af Beaver Valley. Several routes unite at Cedar City chiefly from the west- ward, where the country is most open, The lofty range of the Parowan overlooks the town and per- mits it scarcely a ray from the rising sun. You have already received the description of the terri- ble part the citizens of Cedar City took in the mas- sacre and plunder of the emigrants of 1857, 80 I City abounds and will simply deseribe the route along which the fated party travelled to their death. FROM CEDAR CITY TO MOUNTAIN MEADOWS, After crossing the Rush Lake Valley southwest. warily the route enters a very broken country, in- tersected by numerous ravines and cahons and ridged with mountains in every direction. No stream waters these dreary passes, but many springs are met with and mark favorite halting places for travellers, Iron, iron every where, It looks as though the Mormons were des- tned to anticipate for the treatment of their ene- mes the Bismarckian formula of “blood and iron.” Iron City, the place where the deadly programme of the murderers was perfected, lies & little to the northward of the road and about two-thirds of the way to the “Meadows” from Cedar City. The first stream met with in this journey is Pinto Creek, a branch ot @ branch of the Santa Clara Creek, which flows southward to join the Rio Virgin and the great Colorado River. The village of Pinto is built on the creek of that name, and is a regular Mormon settlement, West- ward about five miles is the space known as the “Mountain Meadows,” at the north end of which is the Lttie scattered group éf houses called Little Pinto, From Little Pinto the route turns southward and into the narrow valley where the bloody work was done, we will witness the final act of the terrible drama. The words, “Vengeance is mine. 1 will repay,” that are inscribed on the rude cross that marks the graves of the slaughtered travelicrs are about to be verified. Lee, the chief assassin, is to die on the very spot where his vic- tims of twenty years ago gave up their lives as a sacrifice to Mormon fanaticism’and bloodthirsti- ness, Here THE STRANDED STEAMERS, THE RUSLAND'S AMERIQUE UNMOVED. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Loxa@ Bravo, N. J., March 22, 1877. The Rustand lies in the same position as yesterday, the storm of last night not moving her.

Culby (colored) against the Baltimore and Ohio Ratiroud Company, whiea bas been on trial four days in the United States District Court, before Judge Giles, was concluded this morn- ing and, under instructions from the Court, the jury rendered a verdict for the detendant, This action, with seventeen ochors, was brought against the com. pany under the Civil Rights act of Congress ot March 1, 1875, which imposes a penaity of $00 on any person who shoulu deny equal accom- modutions to uny citizen, because of, provious con- dition, in hotels, theatres and public conveyances, ‘The plaintiff, a colored citizen of Maryland, claimed to have been denied accommodavion on the company’s trai in June, 1876, and compelled, as she alleged, to occup nt car, which was inferior, simply because of her race or color, ‘The company de- iiied this, and proved that colored persons have the same rights on all trains as whites. The Court, however, heard argument on tho consti- tutionality of the act under the fourteenth amend- ment to the constitution, and heid:—~ First—Viat tho siaughbterhouse cases (16 Wallace) haa determined that the privileces belonging to a citi- zen of the United States as such were different from the privileges belouging to citizens of the State as such, and that only the former were under Congres siopal protection; that this epivion bad bveon subse. quently affirmed by the United states Supreme Court, ‘Second—That the right to ride in a railway car for Purposes ut local travel was not a privilege of a citizen ot the United States as such, but was a privilege ve- longing to a person by virtue of bis State citizenship, and therefore for the demial ot such privilege the citi zen must look lor redress to the State tribnnals; that it was not within the power of Congress to inflict a penalty for the denial of such a privilege, The act, therefore, was unconstitutional, This opimion accords with that of Judge Emmons, United States Cirewit Judge for the Sixth eireuit; of Judgo Sawyer, of California, and other feuorat judges, THE ASHTABULA DISASTER.
