= THE TRS SOLDIER. An Eloquent Lecture by General Butler in Boston, THE MEMORABLE 15TH OF APRIL. Distinguished Irish Officers in Europe and America. WELLINGTON, O'DONNBLL, JACKSON, MACMAHOY. Services of the New York Sixty-Ninth and Massachusetts Ninth Regiments THE FAMOUS IRISH BRIGADE, Bowstox, April 15, 1877. General Benjamin F. Butler, whose public career is ‘Probably more vuried than that of any other man in the country, made his début as a lecturer in the Bos- ton Theatre this evening, before an audience of uearly three thousand people, Tho chosen subject was ‘The Irish Soldier in War and Peace,” and the occasion which brought about the effusion was to raise funds in ald of the family of the late Colonel B. F. Finan, of the Nioth Massachusetts rogiment, The audionce was, of course, largely composed of the Irish element, but still there were present many prominent native citizens, Mcluding among those on the platiorm several State and city officials, Aftor having been formally intro- duced to the audience hy Mr. P. A. Collins the General proceeded with his lecture as follows: — A MEMORABLE DAY, Remembering what memorable events happened on this fifteenth day of April sixteen yoars ago, a mem- rable anniversary, it is well for us tobe here, Un that day Major Anderson and his brave soldiers marched out of Fort Sumter, with the honors of war, 1b is true, to yield up to a public enemy a fortress of the United Statos, the first ever surrendered without treachery to an armed foe. On this day President Lin- coln issued his proclamation calling for 75,000 men ‘to Suppress an armed combination and to cause all laws to be fuithiully executed,” to repossess the forts, places and property which bad been seized from the Union, At this call the people of ry State in the Union flew to arms to sustain or oppose the government, On this day the Mayor of New York issued a proclamation calling upon the people of New York, “‘irrospective of all other considerations and prejudices, to unite in obedience to the Jaws in the support of pablic peace and the preservation of order and the protection of Property.” On this day the Mayor, addressing the citizens of Philadelpbia, declared that, ‘by the grace of Almighty God, treason shall never raise 38 head or have a foothold in Philadel- phia.”” On this day the Council of the city o Boston, more energetic and practical, took measur to appropriate $100,000 for the support of the volunteers who should enlist for tho war. Their example was imitated by the city of Lawrence, which appropriated $5,000 for the benefit of the families of those who enlisted to defend the country’s flag, and by the city of Lowell, which appropriated $8,000 for the game purpose, On this day Governor Yates, of Illi, ois—the loyal West responding to the East—issued a proclamation convening the Legislature to provide for enrolling and equipping trcops to save the Union. Nor was the enthusiasm of that hour attempted to be confined to governmental and municipal bodies alone. It permeated all ranks and conditions of lif Penetrating even the marts of trade and commerce and banking. As soon as they could be called together the representatives of the Boston banks subscribed 83,000,000, being ten per cent of their capital, to bo s0aned to the Commonwealth to aid in the suppression of the rebellion. The General then alluded to tho Prayer of the New York East Methodist Conference on that day, and the response made to it by every patriotic heart, A TRIBUTE TO COLONEL FINAN. The General here passed to pay an eloquent tribute tothe late Colone! Finan, prefacing the same with a briet biographical sketch of tho ucceased, concluding with this oulogy of his career asa soldier:—No better, more brilliant, or effective iliustration of the true typ, of an Irish soldier can be found than we have already jen in the military services of our deceased iriend, dn pursuing this theme I propose only to edit and re- roduce a lecture upon this topic, in which Colovel ‘span Was engaged during the last months ot life, with the memoranda of whicn been iurnished. 1 speak to you, thereiore, as he, living, would have spoken. My voice is bis voice, and the incidents and characters that I shall portray are but the limuings of bis band and the products of his thought. Froma variety of Causes Which it is not our provinco now to consider, not ia defence of his own soil, but in foreign lands, bas the valor and conduct of the Irish soldier been ex- hivited, his loyalty to the country of bis adoption exemplifi 4 the moat joyous carelessness and con- tempt of de with which he did battie for the flag of lis adoption, been most trequentiy and honorably mentioned. THE IRISH SOLDIER IN EUROPE, On the fleld of Fontenoy, Louis of France, in behalf bf his nation, publ thanked his Irish Brigade tor the preservation of the French army, and on the field made their commander, Count Lally, # General of France. We are told also that wien it was recounted to George of Englanu how the Irish:nen fought on that glorious duy against bim the king bitterly cursea the penal laws of Great Britain which bad deprived bim of such sub- jects and such soldiers, The Roncevalies Pass, where tell, before the opposing lance, the harnessed chivairy of Spain, saw no better troops, braver wen or truer kaiguts that the young legions of Ireland, who sooften by theif valor decided the fate of the crown of Ferdinand and Isabella, And in later times { bave but to call up the tlius name of Marsbal O'Donnell, ofSpaia, to bring tothe check and alignt to the eye of every son and daughter o! dear old Erin, I could recovnt to you many occasions where the valor of the Irwh soldier and the skill of the Irish general saved the armies of Britain, but notrue Irishman will contemplate with joy or satisfaction the victories ot England, even when won by Irish valor, until the heavy band of her oppression’ is lifted from the irish pation and England does tull justice to Ireland. ‘A glowing reference was then made to the fact that the Duke of Wellington was of Irish birth, and to the rvices ot Wolf on the Plains of Abrabam' against the French under Montcalm and the assault upon Quebec by Montgomery, ‘The records of the armies of the Revolution glitter all over with the gallant exploits of Irish soldiers, who, with the fathers of the Republic, laid the very founda- tou ot our hberties, and whose deeds and joyal con- duct shone out conspicuously in the very darkest days of the Revolutionary contest. I need give the names STARK, M’NEIL AND M’CLARY, Jone, to cull to mind but examples ing to Androw Jackson, the hero of Now Orleans, as of Irish descent, ihe speaker suid be was Bot the only instance where a soldier of Irish extruc- tion bas been calied as a civil chiel to conduct u great Fepublic in the hour of its greatest civic perils, when ®@ nation calis for A single strong hand ns blatant Lani ae ee * * one Who can rule, and dare not lie.

When the fortune of the day turned against our forces Corcoran’s regimont, forming a part of the rear guard of the flying troops, left the fleld in good order, toeir colors fiying, and ‘twice repulsed the charge of the enemy’s cavalry, in the latter of which their com- mander was wounded, and with two of bis officers, Captain Meivor and Lieutenant Connolly, and some thirty privates fell into the hands of the enemy, and as prisouors of war had the still further honor ot being the first recipients of the courtesy of the revels in Libby Prison. WHY ARE THE IRISH GOOD SOLDIERS ? What are the peculiar elements of the Irish chara ter which enable them, trom ge thus tocistinguish themselves as suidie! T have already commented upon and shown their de- votion to every cause and under every banner for which they bave enlisted, but even this has an addod idiosyncrasy. An Irishman always seems to feel, in whatever army he is enlisted, as if in some way he was fighting the battles of old Ireland, and i always endeavoring to put ‘* the ap above the red,” tor whether tbe flag to which he gives is allegiance beat the red cross of England, the fleur-de-lis or the tri- color of Franco, tRo double-headed eagle of Austria, Pilars of Spain gorgeous with gold, or the stars aud of America, the Irishman always manages, in of army reguiations, in spite of rule, to set up the golden harp of Erin, with its green surroundings, and follow whero that lvads—the green shamrock of his native bilis seems ever present with bim. Aga rule, an Irish regiment never breaks, They always stand or retreat togethor; therefore they seem to pos- 8 naturally the first clement which it is the ollice of discipline to supply to the army. A CHARACTERISTIC STORY. In speaking of capability for discipline I by no means claim for the Irish soldier the ucquisition ‘mn the minutiw of dre: which is sought to be vbtatued by 1 lt is ys very difficult for the Irishman to ha every button of his coat tastened, his belt. with the breastplate precisely in front or his cap set exactly squarely upon his Nobody can enforce that,” ‘The cont will aiwa ‘open, ihe belt awry and the cap tilted jauntily side- wise or thrown buckward—but still the main requi- sites of discipline are in bim, The Irisuman can never be made te touch his bat to his officer with the cour- teous flourish of the French soldier or the studiod pre- cision of the Germun; but he 18 polite and delerential to nis officer it he respects him tor his justice or con- duct, and loves bim, and will, when wounded, bear him to a place of safety und comfort aud ourse bum with the care and tenderness of a brother. Indeed, the Irish soldier seems to scorn all trifling details and'pre- arado, and makes them captain drilling bis company, being very proud of them and their movements, Drilling them under t! eye of his geveral, be was very carciul that their line should be perfectly straight aud their movements very precise.

Allow me another instance, taken from actual lite, which will illustrate precisely iny meaning and show you what good soldiers good officers may soon make of irish recruits, STORY OF THK NINTH CONNRCTICUT, . When the New Engiand division was veing recrul ed, Organized and disciplined at Camp Cuase, near Lowell, Governor Buckingham, of Connecticut, had recruited, but not to its full number, the Nioth Connecticut, Owiag to the tact that its ranks were pot filied its o! cers could not get their commissions, and the troops could not be mustered into the service of the United States, and no special authority could bo exerted over them, and they rewated near Hartiord for weeks, with no employment save that mischief the proverb tells us “the devil aeugnts to find for idie hands todo,” I suspect they bad become uimost a terror to the staid Connecticut men in their neighborhood, The ex- Uberance of their spirits must flid some vent, aud, uo- controlled and undisciplined, they found veut in many @ rogutsh prank, Whick made them excvedingly unde- wirablo neigubors; and although to the New Engiaud division but une segiment bad beeu assigned trom Con- | necticut, Governor Buckingb to the general commanding, arking bim it ne would do him the favor | to uccept of the Ninth. “Certatuly,”’ was the repiy, “I will send for them.” They came una their til- neighborhood reputation with them increased, as distupce ever magnities, On arriving at the rendez- vous, near Lowell, tho city government at ouce swore in a large lorce of extra policemen to control them, so | great was the terror their presence excited. But once in camp, where they were mustered into | the United States service, aad obedience, diweipline and regularity were the order of the day, there was no durther troubie, and the force of policemen wus at once disbanded, lumented Cahill, their colonel, soon made t fine soldiers, and not long alterward they were removed to Ship Island, where, under the pre- cept and example of General Phelps, with all his ev- centricities, one of the best disciplinariane of the army, they became one of the best regiments in tho Department of the Galt, Upon the occupation of the city of Now Orleans the ‘Ninth was encamped in Latayette square, m the uidst | of the fushionabie portion of the city, substantially as it | would have veon 10 Hoston to have encamped them in Chester Park. ‘They remained there encamped as a part of the garrison of the town for several mouths, when | it became but just in the judgment of the commander to send them to the front and repiace them witn reg- iments that bad veen worn down. by 1: Vicasburg and tighting at Baton Rouge. est evidence of their discipline and the character they | ad established for soldieriy bearing, and for propriety | of conduct, when the order was promulgated tor ihe Temoval of the Ninth, to bo replaced by another New England regiment, w petition was presented to the communding gene signed by quite every house- hoider of the dweil:ngs surrounding the square, pray-/ ing that the Ninth might be retained there because ot their quiet behavior and soldierily conduct, aud the safety the inhabitants felt for themselves und families in having them there, expressing a tear thatthe com. manaing general could not fil tnelr places with an | equally acceptable regiment, ‘Tho General then spoke of the rugged health enjoyed by the Irish soldier, his lightheartedness and his ter- vent religious qualities, giving several amusing and Pathetic instances, THR CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN IN THE, WAR. Without totending 10 imstitute any comparison be- tween the chapiains of Catholie regim of otber denominations, 1 muy be permitted to say that the Catholic clergy were fully equal to the duty | imposed upon them, and in all their mipistravious seemed to show that tbey strove to do uneir whole duty to those whose souls Were intrusted to their care Father in obedience to the ordinances of the Chugen of which they were members, than with any regard to army regulations or the authority of temporal power, . There is no good soldier, no observing officer, no thoughtful mon who bus seen the effect of the minis- of the Irish Catholic priesthood in the armies of the United States, who will not pay them bign honor testimony that they were ministers of good, and never of evil. ‘THM SISTERS OF CHARITY, In this connection let ine call ty mind the services of auotuer organization, largely Irisu, that aided us during the war, but bone of which were ever found aguinst us; Leiby soldiers of the Cross, they were en- rolled under the banner of the Prince ot Peace, Frequently on the battlefield they carried neither arins of offence vor delence.

A THRILLING BATTLE BCRNE, After reciting the services of the Mussachusetts Ninth in glowing terms the General alluded to the ‘scene at Malvern Hill in 1862, where Porter’s corps was acting as rear guard, as /ollows:— Js it wonderful, then, that men of the samo religious faith, with such examples of beroism and s critics belore them, went to do battle tor their 'Y, PO- gardicss ol peri dangers of the battieteld, met death as cine as they would lay gown to a night's repose, hike flo ‘at set or sunt the Ninth, witu two supporting regiments, are or- dered to take position to bold in check tue advanciug enemy aad gaiu time for the rest of the army.

BRIGHAM YOUNG. How Time Reveals His Responsibility at Mountain Meadows. MRS. WEBB’S STATEM Forty-Two Years in Communion as Ann Eliza’s Mother. “Brigham Instigated and Probably Or- dered the Slaughter.” —_— MORMONS SILENCED BY THREATS. Locxronrt, N. Y., April 13, 1877. Mrs, Eliza J. Webb, mother of “Aun Eliza,” the recently divorced wife of Brigham Young, has resided here since her returo from Utah, where sho backslid from the Mormon faith with ber daughter more than two years ago, Mra Webb was one of the origimal Mormons, having joined the sect in New York in 1833, when she was eweet sixteen and dreadtully poor. Three years lator she was married in Kirtland, Obio, to Chauncey G. Webb, a Mormon like herself, whom she foliowed through years of vicissitudes to Missouri, to Nauvoo in Lio, on the long journey to Utah and Shrough the wilds and settlements of that famous tritory. She has encountered bardsfips enough to drive a sensitive woman crazy, yot nenher hor health nor her spirits are broken, ‘The worst thing she bad at first to endure after Joseph Smitt’s “revelavon’’ io 1843 concerning polygamy was the accession to her husband of other wives. First he brought ono wile, who, according to Mra, Webb, was a “very good girl.” When he brought three more wives, and all in the course of ao mouth,” says Mrs. Webb, ‘1 felt that my husband was too much married, and my hoart was sore,” Mra, Webb's long residenco in Utab, her ucqasintance of forty-two years with Brigham Young, and the former close connection of her daughter with the Prophet ren dor hor etstements in regard to his responsibility for the Mountain Meadows massacre very important. RVIDENCK AGAINST BRIGHAM YOUNG. She received me ploasaatly this morning at b tage home, and thus responded to my questions “Have you any opinion, or evidence,” I asked, “in regard to Youug’s connection with the Mountain Meadows aflair?”” “T have a positive conviction,’’ she replied, “To what effect 7’? “That Brigham Young instigated, and probably or. dered, tho slaughter. This conviction was long in forming, but it has been matured since filtcen months"? “Please state your reasons,” “Tuey are several, They spring out of thorough knowledge of the life and charactor of Brigham Young, experience of the tanaticiem and regulations of the Mormon Chareh, recollection of circumstances at the time of the massacre and the testimony of men famthar with the facts, Brigham Young’s abilities ure not to be despised, although he 1s popularly credited with many that he has not, To this dey, after ull the shocks the Mormon Church and his own Teputation have met with, he continues to hold 200,000 people in subjection, Some he holds through their fears or their sense of self-interest; but the most of them are sul physically, morally and intellectually prostrate betore him. At the time of the butchery at Mountain Meadows his mastory over his people wus far more absolute than the Popo of Rome could ever have boasted of. WRIGHAM 48 GOD'S MOUTHPIECE. His word was law; it was, in fact, accepted as the word of God himself. 1, among thousands of vthers, itaplicttly believed {t to be so, and every member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was sworn, as Joho D. Lee was sworn, to obey all the orders of the priest- hood of which Brigham was the head. Ho was acknow!- edged, almost worshipped, as prophet, priest, reve- lator, To the mostiguorant of the Mormons he was the only God they knew anything about, and to the rest he stood as mediator between them and the Almighty. All, excepting of course those who held the mental reservations which nobody can allege for or against a fellow being, imagined that they must comply with Brigham Young’s requirements or suffer the supreme God’s displeasure.” A BRUTAL TYRANT. “Did this feeling that they must obey Young and the priesthood go toall lengths? Did it not stop short at crime?” “Why, no, Thecommand of the Prophet to do any- thing whatever mado obedience a sacred duty. It took away from all crimes, so called, the taint of criminality. It made vice virtue, It sanctified practices totally ub- horrent to Christians, even to civilized human nature, For example, Young frequently permitted or directed the marriage of bis favorites to their own wives’ daughters by other men, Privately he encouraged tho marriage of brothers and sisters, ana once he married acouple who woro children of the same mother, but not by the same father, He admitted then that the people were not sufficiently advanced to bear much of this, but no ono dared openly gainsay him when asked by him to swallow it, The mao who wielded an influence like this had no aim. calty In getting anything accomplished. He mado himself feared, as well ag respected, through the ter- rible order of the Danites, from which the Destroying Angels of the Church were selected. John D. Leo, Dame, and othors, all belonged to this misnamed, dev- ilish clan, They were ready to strike at anybody at the lifting of Brigham Young's Onger, oven at such a signal as the scratching of his nose,” WHY THE MASSACRE WAS ORDERED, “But what could have been Young’s motivo for directing the commission of so horrid a crime?” “Some,” responded Mra, Webb, ‘nave ascribed avarice as a motive, for these reasons:—That the Ar- Kaosas omigruot train was the richest that had passed through Utah since the Mormon settlement there, and that Brigham ts, perhaps, the most avaricious {also prophet who over lived. Yet, no; it was not avarice that chiefly prompted hita on that occasion.” “What, then r’” “A bratal and misguided resentmeat—a blundering military policy encouraged by the fanatic desperation of the Mormon priesthood next under him, At that time tho whole Mormon fabric was endangered for the third or fourth timo by the power of the United States government, Tho outside prejudice against Mormon- jem, Kast and West, was intense, and a report was circulated that the people of the approaching emigrant train bad used belligerent |: age, On the north we were threatened vy Johnson's army, and in the south there was, or might have been, reason to suppose that the emigrants would take the part of the govern- ment against the ‘saints’ There was great excite- ment in the Mormon settlements, a4 1 well recollect, on account of the approach of Genoral Johnston, Bat most of the Mormons, except the priesthood and tho people hving In the vicinity of Mountain Meadows, did not hear of the emigrant train or of the massacre until a considerable time afer the killing.’ KEKPING THK SLAUGHTER SKORET, “Were you near the sconv’’’ “No, L was now Therefore all that I say now is basod, as I told you, on general knowledge and subse. quent information.” “When did you hear of the massacre?” “1’vo forgotien, It was along while—a number of weeks—-beforo tho news spread through the sparse and scattered settlements of Utab. it had been car. the trail and camo onthe unburied bodies perhaps weeks in advance of our information, When iny hus- band first broagbt the newsto me the whole buten- ery was generally laid to the Indians; bat he said to mo apart, ‘The Mormons have haa a hand inthis, sare,’ 1% was some five years, though, ere the fact crept through behef up to knowledge, and even then NO One dared to speak of it except in whispers, It was atrightening, sickening thought with us all, I never shall cease to feel the ght of it, Finally, many Questioned themselves and their nearest aad dearest, ried to California by other traveilers who passed along | whom they could trust, as to who was responsible, ia the Orst place, for 0 hideous a butchery; im the next place, for the fact that the authors of it were uopum ished.” “Yet | understood you to say no one was permitte to question the acts of a member of the priesthood or hearts can’t help throbbing and men’s and women's brains will think; their eyes will look into other eyes toquiringly, and lips will unclose themselves despite anything and everything some tumes."” THE AUTHOR OF THE cRIMR. “What did it amount to? Who wus dxed upon asthe real uutuor of the massacre?’? “Brigham Youug.’” “By whom ?'’ “T believe, now, by a great many. My bustend was convinced of it very promptly. | did not at Grsi, or for some time, share in his conviction, though some of our friends did—a growing number! But at length, after lovg years, | wax forced to the conclusion he had arrived at Just see, in the first pluce, what the statements drawn out on ihe two trials of Lee attest, Ip bis first con/ession, submitted at bis first trial 1m1875, ° Lee was purposely careful nut to implicate Brigham Young or any of the ugber churen authorities, who, he was confident, were protecting him, Higbee, lheu- tenant colonel of the militia regiment which did the work, and Isaac C, Haight, major, are made to per- form a conspicuous part in the massacre, while Lee shields himself and many others, LEM REVEALS THE TROTH, In his latest coulession, after bis trial, during which the fact that Young bua determined to make him the scapegoat became early apparent.” Lee lifts the curtain and tells a story which { have heard corroborated, He distinctly charged Young with being the tnstigator of the butchery and with having opposed it afterward. 1 bave not a doubt of the substantial truth of bis statement of what was said when ne made bis report to the Prophet. “When Iwas through,’ says Lee, ‘he said it wae uwiui; that he cured wotbing ;avout the men, but ‘the women and children was what troubled him.’ £ said, ‘President Young, you should either release the men trom their obligations or sustain (bem When they do what they have entered into Lhe most sucred obligation to do.’ He rephed:— ‘L will think Wover and make it a subject of prayer, and you muy come buck 1u the moruing and see me? 1uid sa He then suid, ‘Joun, I feel first rate. 1 asked the Lord, if it was all right for that deed to be done, to take away the vision of the deed trom my mind, and the Lord di 0, und T foel fest rate; is it wilright, Theoniy fear 1 have is of traitors. He told me uever to lisp it to any mortal being—vot even to Brother Heber. President Young bas always treated me with (he friendship of a tather since. “Lee also shows how he wrote a letter w origham Young, at the latter's request, accountirg tor the whole affair as an Indian massacre, He twlis woore the property belonging to the emigrants wear—inia the tithing house at Cedar City, by direction of Young himseif!”? MERE WORDS—NO DENIAL. “Young’s out-and-out denial and Lee's tack of proot—what do you make of these?’ I asked. “Mero word: nothing more,” said Mra, Webb, “As for positive proof against him there may be pone, except what is dormant in the momortes of others who were concerned with Lee in the actual conduct of the slaughter on that dreadful 16th of September, 1857, Some of the members of the high priesthood may know the truth; but they, equally with Brigham Young, are bound to silence for sell-protection and the sake of tho Mormon Church. Aa I said before, it never was necessary for Young to issue a written or even verbal order when an extreme measure had been determined upoa, A sign was sufficient, and wee to whomsoever did not obey that sign! To fail was death—death by the hand of one of the ‘Angels of Death,’ who in turn bad death to dread as his penalty for an omission to slay the victim at the time denoted. Still, a tew straws, fluttering by occasionally, indicate how near Young is to justice, The other day | noticed a com- munication in the Salt Lake City Tribune, entitied ‘An Open Lotter to Brigham Young,’ in which the writer accuges the Prophet of justifying the massacre at a meeting at the Seventy’s Hall in 1857; also of justifying it at Mountain Meadows, as ftollows;— Young, standing before the monument there aud reading the well known inscmption, ‘Veugeance ts mine; I will repay, saith the Lord, js accused by this writer of exclaiming on tno spot:—‘Vengeanco is mino; I have repaid saith the Lord!’ Similar expressions of his are current among discreet Mormous all over Utah, The Gentiles have got in the habit of exaggerating them,’’ added Mra. Webb, with a smilo, THR PROPHERT’S GUILT, “Positive evidence against Young, you think, then, would be bard, almost impossibie, to tind” “Hara? Yes; and impossivie until bis power in Utah 1s broken, Noone who coulg be an informer against him will care to risk the fateof Lee, The circumstan- tial evidence, however, 1s all against Young. It is ine credible to all Mormons versed in the faith and in the afluirs of the Territory that such an enterprise as one ot the five most treacherous and bloodthirsty asso- ciations in history was undertaken by members of a Church so absolutely under. the control ef a single head, ina country like Utah, settlea at the time most entirely by members of that Church, without his sanction beforehand or his rebuke afterward, The notion that Brigham Young did not incite the dowd, ot that he would not bave instantly punished the authors of it if he had not approved it, is preposterous, In three capacities he declined to order an investiga tion or take measures for bringing the murderers to justice—first, as the Prophet of tue Mormon Church; second, as the Governor of Utah ‘Territory, appointed by tho President of the United States, in which capacity It was his duty to tuke action against any white people concerned in the massacre; third, as Su- Pperintenaent of Indian Affairs, being which officer he should have proceeded against the Indians who took part”? EXCUSES, “In his testimony in 1875, however, Brigham Young explains bis not investigating the conduct of the whites by saying that anothor governor had Deen appointed by the President of the United States, who wason the way to take his place, and that ho did not know how soon this successor might arrive. "” “That explanation is puerile on its face, The notion that justice should not have pursued tue authors of the Mountain Meadows massucre as soon as information of it ‘was given; that prompt measures to that effect taken by An out-going governor would have been objected to by ‘fan incoming one, is fit for children, Instead of pursu- ing Leo Brigham loaded him with favors, He gave him wife after wife, to the number of eighteen, and gave him offices of honor and profit in the Territory sufficient to maintain them and his sixty-five chilaren, It isn’t every Mormon who can have so many wives, It ssn’t every favorite of Brigham Young’s who can enjoy Lee's perquisites, Tho tavoritiam to Loe lasted until the time came to sacrifice him. Young 1s coarse; though, on occasion, he can appear to be a gentleman, But underneath any demeanor he is cruel and spares not.'? STKONG POINTS FOR THE couRT: “Do the Vrophe brothers believe in him im- plicitly 1”? Mrs. Webb laughed, ‘‘He has threo brothers living,” said she. ‘Just before I left Salt Lake | was cun- versiug with one of them—Joseph Young—and | asked bim about Mountain Meadows, He urged me not te talk of 1t—not to ‘harrow up my feelings’ about it, Lasked about bis brother's (Brigham’s) concera in tt, He said, ‘Hush! you don’t know what motive he bad.’ 1 recotiect that Joseph didn’t deny Brigham’s com- plieity.”” hy “How is it that Young gots so many people who pass through Utah to think that ho is really innocent, really a good sort of man?” “Well,” answerd Mrs, Webb, with a patient sigh, ‘I can’t explain to you any further. if I havn't said enough to suggest his power of pulling wool over the eyes of the people L hi missed the fact. A -short time ago there was a gentioman here—Mr, Smith, and his wife, Muttio Gaylord Smith, the lec turer—who had recontly visited Brigham Young. Mr. Smith thought him an earnest, sincere man. Mra Smith scorned him as a hypocrite, It's only afresh modera instance of a woman's superior perception. Forty-two y acquaintance with Brigham Youug confirma in mo Mra, Smith’s impres- sion ofan hour, Hoisa bad mao, I vetleve bin to be responsible for several heinous crimes. Of the Mountain Meadows crime he is the accused, probable, almost certain, though unproven, spoasur.”” A BARN BURNED, The barn of Frederick Ives, located on the Southers boulevard, near 166th street, caught Ore yesterday and ‘was burned to the ground. lt was valued at $2,000) Bd Was insured iu the Atue Compauy lor $1,800
