4 MORMON. RASCALIT. Disgusting Rules Which Enslaved Men and Women. nee: LESS ASSASSINATION COUNTENANCED. Putting an Offender “Over the Rim.” THE PROPHET LIES. Dame’s Orders to Murder the Arkansas Emigrants. Sant Lake Crry, May 3, 1877. ‘Vhatwas a delightful state of society in Southern Jib about the timo of the Mountain Meadows mas- mere in 1857. The Mormon settlements at Beaver, ‘arowan and Cedar City may be sald to have peon iso- ted from the world, They coasisted of fugitives ‘vom Missouri and Ilinols, sere at heart because of ibgur many persecutions and the outrageous Killing of snr Prophet, Joseph Smith, at Carthage Jail, and of sundreds of foreign fanatics culled from the nether- popalations of Enginnd, Scotiand and the Scandi- neountries, Some of their leaders were fairly educated, shrewd, ablo to cope vigorously with their te environment, All were inured to hardships; all were inveterate Mormons, ready to die for the faith. th the swincherd was no more the born thrall of oirie the Saxon than was any one of these bronzed vurnt-gaired saints the thrajlof Brigham Young. rom bis eyrie in the north he controlled them, as be ues to do, At that time, to be sure, there was ‘aph line stretching down as it docs now hun- of miles to St. George, Nor was there a regular stugeroad, But Brigham Young could ut any moment despatch @ messenger at speed who would be sure of a {resh horse at any pointon bis journey; and his chain of videttes was com plete along the whole castern frentier. ilo Was apprised of the advance of Jobnston’s army, in he autumn of 18) in ample season to delay it by vorassing the General’s trans, and although ne has denied co me repeatedly that he heard of the approach of (he Arkansas emigrants in season to give any tn- structions in regard to them to George A. Smith before the latter started on bis southera mission, his denial accuses of gross demerit a system of espionage which gus been praised as taultless. CHURCH COUNSEL FOR THR FAITUPCL. The settloments tn Southern Utah, asl have inti- nated, were isolated from all tidings of the outside world which Brigham Young did not choose to send hem. Having personally visited the region, where 1 aud ample opportunities to converse with the oldest ctilers, my information in this respect comes trom the lips of the Mormons thomselvey They knew jtile, they say, of events which were occurring ‘in Lurope or America, They obtained only scattered in- ‘urwation, doled out by itincrant bishops and elders, 1 what was going on in Sait Lake City, They ree we ved, however, regular “counsel” from the Church iuthorities in the North—counsel whicn, filtering jown to them through the various grades of church diligials, informed them what to do in respect to nearly ull mattors pertaining to their daily life and conduct At Uus Ume Jobn D. Leo und all the men indicted and a doin common with lim for the crime at Mountain Meadows were at the beight of their repute as members of the Church of Latter Day Saints. Some hem were exuited officers of the Mormon military organization Known as the Nauvoo Legion, W. H, Dame was, at once the Presiding Spiritual Head of Parowau and a Colonel of the Legion. Isaac C. Haight was the Presiding Spiritual Head of Cedar City and sieateuant Colonel of the Legion. George A, Smith was one of the Twelve Aposties and Brigadier Geveral ue Legion. Ove Jobo Hyatt, of Parowan, acted as Jame’: Je-de-camp., All the adult males in the outhern settioments were armed and drilled and srajoed in military tactes, OVER THE “RIM OF THR BASIN.”? Having thus sketched tor you the condition of affuirs in these remote settlements in the year when the Mountwu Meadows massacre occurred, I introduce a witness Whose testimony in regard to the events of hut yeur 18 pew, trustworthy and important. This witness is Mr. James MeGuific, one of the oldest bay mull cont members of the Mormon Chureb, who lett its old at & time aad under circumstances most yropitious for the exit Mr MeGuflle was n let one of the original Mormon pioneers, In com- with George A, Smith, Jobo D, Lee, Wilham H. )utue and more than one hundred others, ho journeyed L the Winter of 180851 down South, orgamzed Iron sounty aod jocated Parowan as the countp seat, In So4 General Fremont came into Parowam with his xjooring party, which had been for some time lost in Le mountains west ot Fort dridger, Two of bis men were t ‘ten, and when Fremout proceeded to ‘iforuia he left one of these men, named Sherman, to thw tender mercies of the Mormons. After about ‘three months? residence in Parowan Sherman got bet- terand one day divulged the fact that Fremont had hidden some d crreotype amd other instru. ments la the neighboring mountains, The bretus reu, Mr. SMeGuille, at once proposed to ge and une the treasure. Sherman was » be their guide, At this junctue one Simeon Mowd managed to get’ drunk and el with Sherman. Having got the worst of it he sied about the settlement # herman had threaten Xploring party went searcbing for the in. nd make his escape, ‘This charge against Howe resulted in Sberman’s mock trial rman ore a Mormon Court aud a sentence that be should put over the “Rim of the Basin.” “1 aido’t suid Mr. MeGoffle, “What these ucted over the Rit of the Basia to St. George or pluce and banished there.

If we objected to anything which the bishop or the iders tacitly consented to, we knew not what might be our individual fates, The odor of blood was ou the air; the scent of human carrion ac- tually on many a night loaded the breeze that swept past my chamber windows, There was an old man named Jo Walker—I believe he still resides in Varowan—who claimed that he had seen the spirits of those poor murderea ‘grants whose bodies were thrown to the hogs near Bosner's grist mill sitting around ghostly camp fires and gesticulating to one an- other at midnight.’? “In respect to the Mountain Meadows massacre, Mr, McGutlie, Dave you any knowledge of that affair??? “} suppose, sir, that 1 know as much about it as any person Who was not there, ? “Will you go on, then, and tell your own story in regard to it, first understanding this fact that Brigham Young took bo message from him concerning the Arkansas emigrants when be went down, m 1857, into Lowor Utah, and that, in fact, the approach of the emi; was vot known to him (Brigham Young) uni! after George A, Sinith had departed. ”? BRIGUAM YOUNG LIES. “Brigham Young may say what he pleases, but ifhe Says that 1 venture to say that ho ties,” “fo you believe, then, that he gave orders tor the massacre !”? “I believe it a8 I believe in God, There is no doubt of it m @y mind, Brigham Young had those emi- grants spotted. He had bis spies; be knew of their «pproach, and long belore they reached the borders of Utah it bad been reported to lim that (here were men among them who bad a hand in the killing of Josep und Hiram Smith and tn the expulsion of the Mor- mons {rom Nauvoo. ‘here is some confusion in tho | pupiic mind relative to George A, Smith’s agency in what sudsequentiy occurred, Undoubtedly that apostie was intru-ted with verbal advice or counsel by Brigham Young which prepared the way tor the massacre, His to us at Parowan distinctly referred to the Arkansas emigrants, It was to the effect that we should let the emigrants have no supplies whatever; it was as strict in this direction as atrict could be. Following close on George A, Smith’s appearance among us, Dame, who, as I nave said, not only colonel of the Nauvoo Legion, but tho presiding #pirit- ual head at Parowan, ordered that Parowau Deabso- lutely shut up against the approucbing emigrantr. He forbade tbe people to trade with them on any condition, and when the emigrant#é arrived aud cucamped near Parowan Dame reiterated lis orders, attaching severe penalties to their violation, 1 recollect, however, that one easy-guing Mormon named Morgan Richards Visited the camp of the emigrants aud traded some Provisions fur a cooking utensil. On his way back to town he Was inet by bis Bishop's chief counsellor, Sum Lewts,who took hin by the beard and exclaimed “Take tbat buck, by God, and leave it where you got it’ Richards meekly obeyed. Another resident of Parowan was marked for death because be gave some opiwns to one of the emigrants who strayed into bis xarden, He was sent olf oa a mock mission and told to cucamp on the first night ut a certain place. Sus- pecting treachery he avoided the designated encamp- | ment, and thus saved his life, These meidents will indicute the vigar with which the policy of no trade with the emigrants was carried out under the per.oual direction of Apostle George A. Smith. YOUNG ORDERED THE GREAT MASBACRE, “T have said,’ proceeded Mr. Motuttle, ‘that ver- bal instructions were given to George A. Smith by Brigham Young. But the instructions which ordered the wassacre at Mouutain Meidows were bot conveyed in anywise through George A. Smith, nor were they addressed to John D. Loe. This was the way of it Brigham Young did not bimselt use the pen. Ho dice tated bis instructions, Which were written out by J. W. Long, and addrossed to the ollicers at Parowan and Cedar,’ “Who were those officers ?”” “Colonel Dame, of Parowan, and Lieutenant Colonel Haight, of Cedar City.”” “Have you auy knowleage or any opinion in re- gard to the distribution of the property of tho mur- Gered immigrants ?”? “sir,” answered Mr. McGuffle, “I can only recite to you some facts, Afier the massacre Jobo D, Leo Went up to Salt Lake City to report the facts to Brigham Young. Lee put the gold and siiver—the tithing of the murdered emigrants—on tlp table in Brigham Young’s room Mrs. Decktr, of Parowan, wie of Zachariah Decker, and a former wile of John D, Lee, was present. Brigham Young looked at the money, wrung his bunds, swept it off the table and said ho would not have it, for it was the price of blood. After this byplay Jobn D, Lee gathered up the money and leit the room, Ho went south snd paid the money as tuning to Bishop Davies, of Kanarra, a settlement six orseven miles south of Cedar City. Bishop Davies came up a while atterward to Sait Lake City, bringing with om the gold aud silver of the murdered emi- grants with other uthing, aud Brigham Young re- ce:ved It and blessed him in the name of the Lora,’’ “What effect did the news of the massacre have in the southern settlements?” “A shucking effect, but nobody dared to openly comment upon it, The leaders took cuurage trom the reticence of the people, and President Dame, in bis sermon delivered the next Sunday alter the massa of the congregation thus:—'K are peculiar tim If any of you happen to look out of your windows in the morning aud see the dogs go by with the heads of your hus- vands or brothers in their mouths ask no questions, Stranger things than this may come to pass among you. Be careiul lest you, too, be suddeuly taken away.’?” MORAL BUSINESS IDEAS. “This man, Dame, then, you velieve to have been concerned with the fate of the emigrants f”? “Yos. Heisan evil man, He marred as his third wife Sally App Carter, by whom he had threo children, One of her brothers, Barney, was chief among the Destroying Augels, ‘Her second brother, Arthur, to steal cattle [rom the settlers, take them tu Camp Floyd and exchange them tor groceries, then sical United States muies at Camp Floyu, vring them wo Parowan and sell them at a provt, Dame himselt,” said Mr, MeGuitie, with a twinkle in bis eye, “liked @ sharp bargain, and that’s the way I got out oi the M He came to me one fine day and said tome, ‘MeGuflle, you area bard working, indus- trious mao, and I’ve a chance tor you to make some 1 know ot four spans uf inules, and you can all tor $400, provided you turu over one span to me.’ Now, | being a Britisher, and, there- fore, somewhat acquainted with horses’ and’ mules, concluded 1 would tuke two or three days to cou- sider. It leaked out to me that the mules had been stolen from the United Stutes government, I therefore declined to purchase them, aud will you believe it, 1 was immediately culled betore the Church to be tried for my tellowship for disobeying counsel. What counsel? ‘Why the counsel of the spiritual Church that I should buy a lot of stolen and give him a pair of them. Erast Snow, one of the twelve apostles, was chairman of the Ineeting that tried me He stated broadly that I ought to have bought the mules, made a present of one span to Dame, sold the others and put the money inthe Emigration Fund. ‘And because | wouldu’t Jo this,’ exclamed Mr, MeGuilie, *1 wasn’t a good Mor- mon, I told them, in effect, that I would see them dumeed first, I leit the Mormon Chureh, und have seen reason to thank God for it from that hour, and I have since prospered +o well im Iife that I am able to y and to sit down here in this chair and tell you the truth without fear of Brigham Young or any of his prose- lytes.”” Mr. McGuffle, valuable as his testimony is, is not the most original Witness whose statements 1 snail bring to your attention.
