In fact, be is the only Mormon among the murderers who have stained the soll of Utab with the blood of hundreds ot postates and genilles who has been exocutod for his ‘crimes, Some of his companions whom he mentions long ago removed beyond the borders of Utah; others, including Haight, Higbee ard Stewart, have for years “been fugitives in mountato canyons and the distant ‘Wilds of Arizona, Warrants for their arrest have becn ‘weued and experts are on theirtrack. It is hoped that Several of these criminals will be arraigned for trial this summer.

WHE PARED, ‘The history of the child survivors of the massacre {s contained in some official documents recently traus- mitted from the War Dopuartment. The survivors, it seems, numbered seventeen. Their ages varied from tnree to nine years. Sixteen only are here accounted tor—six boys and ten gitls, The first was a boy named Calvin, between seven and eight years old. He did not remember his surname, but said he was near bis mother when she was shot, and pulled tho arrows out of her back until she died. He said he had two brothers older than himself, named Henry and James, and three sistors—Nancy, Mary and Martha—al] slain. The second was a girl, who did not'remember her ‘mame; ber companions said it was Denmea. Next was a boy named Ambrose Miriam Tagtt, who id be had two brothers older than himself and one younger brother, His tather, mother and the eldest brothers were killed; bis youngor brother was brought to Cedar City. He said he lived in Johnson county, bat did not know in what State, and said it took one week to go from where he lived to his grandfather's and grandmother’s, who wore still living in the Statos, Fourth, was u girl obtained by Dr. Forney trom Jobn Morris, a Mormon ut Cedar City, She was too young to recollect anything about herself. The fitth was a boy who could-mot tell his own name, but said the girl obtained from Morris was named Mary, and was bis sister, This lite boy bad been living since the massacre with one E. H. Grove. A cirl, who said her name was Prudence Angeline, ‘was tho sixth. She had two brothers, Jesse and Jobn, who were killed. She said her father’s name was ‘William and that she had an uncle named Jeas The seventh was a very little girl, who Goorge Adair, George Hanley (dead), potbing of her family. ‘The eighth was a boy too yoong to remember any- thing about him The ninth was a boy who sald his name was William W. Hofn.* ‘The tenth was a boy who gave his name as Charles ‘Thatober.* The eleventh was a girl; her neme sho gave as So. Pbrovia Haf.* . Tho twelfth was a little girl who calied herself Botsey. { The thirteenth, fourteenth and fiiteenth were three pisters, ed Rebecca, Louisa and Sarah Dunlap. ‘These bad’ been staying with Jacob Hamblin, _ There is no description and no namo given of the six- teouth. “The seventeenth was « boy baby, who was only six mecks old at the time ef the massacro, Hamblin’s wife took this little fellow to the camp of the Firat United States dragoons, commanded by Brevet Major dames Henry Carleton, at Mountain Moadows, Muy 19, 1859, He was the last child’ recoverod, and was then about a yoaranda halfold. Major Carleton describes bim as a pretty little boy, who slept that night on the ground where bis parents had been murdered and was ‘next day sent onto Sult Lake City, where Dr. Forney bad by that timo collected most of the otner children, MORMON PHILANTHKOVY ExiiArrED, Although ut least four of the oldost children are said tu have known, without doubt, enough ofthe material facts of the Mountain Meadows massacro to be gvod witnesses against the whites who participated in it, they could not be induced to make any developments while they romained with Mormons. ‘Nodoubt,”’ said Major Carleton, “they refrained from fear, having Veen intimidated by threats. Dr. Forney,” continued the Major, **came southward for them under the im- pression that be would find them in the bands of the Indians, The Mormons protend the children were in the bands of the Indians and were purchased by themselves for rifles, blankets, kc, But tho children say they never havo lived with the Indians at all, the Mormons claimed of Dr. Forney sums of money varying from $200 to $400 for attend- ing them when sick, for teeding and cloth- ing them and for nourishing the infants from the timo when they assumed to have purchased them from tho Indians Murdercrs of the purents and devporlers of their property, these Mormons, rather these incarnate fends, darod to co forward \nd claim payment for having kopt these Iittie ones baroly alive--theae helpless orphans whom they them. jelves bad already robbed of their nateral protectors tnd support.

WoRLEY's ReCOLLFCTIONS. + - The children who were broaght to Salt Lake City ore pub in Gharga of Mus. Warley, with whom Icon: — Versed at her hous® last evening. She describes their appearance, when the wagon containing them stopped at ber gate, as most piteous. Not more than one or two of them had received decent carc since the massa- cre, Many of them had sore cves. Most of them were unwashed, unkempt and afflicted with vermin, and their clothing was seanty, filthy and ill-fitting. Mrs. Worley was at once compassionate and energetic. She took these little ones, who arrived early in tho afternoon, and by evening had thoroughly washed and decently dressed them, and so ted them with food and Venderness that when Dr. Forney called to soo them in the evening he was siruck with astouisnment. While she had charge of the children Mrs, Worley was too much engaged in making them comfortable and in modifying toe wild and almost savage mavvers which some of them had acquired to queation them about the circumstances of the massacre. She 1s now a feoble old lady, but she bas a vivid recollection of one intelligent child; named Mary Dunlap, whose litle brother was killed. One day, when Mary Dunlap was 1m the room, says Mrs, Worloy, one of the lattor’s little boys eutered, wHoreuvpon Mary cried out: “Oh, dear! you loox just like my brother!” “Where is your brother ?”’ asked the little boy. “The Indians killed him,” answored the child, with singular solemnity, Mrs. Worley described au old gentleman from one of the Western States who came to Salt Lake and called on herand inquired after bis grandchild, an orphan, who was journcoying witha tamily belonging to the domolished train The boy was-not among the orphans of the massacre whom she had in charge, and the old man’s griet was great. “My Goa!” said be, ‘*Mrs, Worley, I pray you to seek for him, Iam mich, and if you flod bim! will never stop rewarding you.”” At was ascertuined thut the child had veen butchered, and his grandfather started eastward, utterly broken hearted, WHAT BECAME OF TUE CHILDREN Arrangements having been made by Dr. Forney, who was then Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Utah Territory, tho seventeen fatherless, motherless and penniless cbildren started across the Plains in company with himself, his wife and throo other te- males, including Mra. Worley, in 1859. Dr. Forney bad previously writtem on to (riends of the children, Dutall that Mrs. Worley recolicc's about the disposi. tion of them alter their arrival at Fort Leavenworth is. this:—Two yousg men and two young ladies whose names she hus no record of came to Fort Leavenworth and took ail but ong Of she children away immediately, She believes they were bound for Arkansas und Mis- sour, The other ciild, a boy, was received at Fort Leavenworth by his uncle from Arkansas, Mrs, Worley made no note of the names otf any of these persous, and I have not been able by dijigont inquiry to ascertain to whom the children were at that time committed, It is dif- ficult to loara avout the fates of the enildren. Only One person in Utah (‘*ldano Bill’) claims to b jure vivor of the massacre, He .calls himself Churles ‘Thatcher, You have received his history as recitea by himself, It is rumored that a lady, wife of a con- ductor on the Union Pacific Railroad, who resides ut Cheyenne, 1s one 01 the seventeen saved, Perhaps the information in this letter, comprising, as it docs, the names of the children und the ages of some of them, may, if it be copied and commented on by Missouri, Arkansas and Kagsas newspapers, hetp to uncover the mystery which bas enveloped their lives since 1859 and bring to light from one or more of the eldest among the survivors of the Mountuin Mead. ows massacre testimony in aid o/ the prosecution to be commenced against the murderers who have had such long immunity. *Thesc names were mentioned by Iduho Bill in a pre- vious letter recounting an iuterview with Lin, A THIRTY YEARS’ RECORD, (From the Salt Lake Tribuve, May 15.)

THE MORMONS DENOUNCE THE GOVERNOR. [From the Salt Lake Herald, May 16.] ° Governor Emory places bimseif in a very unenvia- ble position when he lends his official’ position to tor- ward the ends uf tho rascally radical class who are seeking the destruction of Utah’a business ana pros perity.® We are unwilling to believe the Governor 18 a kaye, and cannot consider him a fool, yet we are told by bis organ, and it has been telegruphed to the New York Hexarv—doubtless with bis knowledge, if not by bis authorization—that he bas asked the War De- partinent to send more troops to Utab to preserve the Peaco and protect. the lives and property of ci Ds, Governor Ewory knows there ts not the slightest occu. sion for fear from a Mormon uprising, and has #0 ex- provsed himself within the week; yet we find him act- Ing directly contrary to bis own knowhedge ot the fncts and agains! better judgment, He realizos the situ- ation, understands tho unjustness of the inconsiderate paper war being waged against the Mormons, compre- hends tho injury to the Territory that is being wrought by this clamor, aud is knowing to the desperate height to which popular excitement Eust and West is being Faised, and with all this knowledge he wittingly adds his might to make matters worse and fan the flame started by wicked and unscrupulous men. As His Excellency is neither knave nor fool we cau only consider him as one who has boen whipped of his manhood by a blackguard oditor, whose aim und effort are to got beneath bis thumb all federal officials who come to Utab, and then play upon them at will. The Governor gave promise of withstanding the lash of this renegade Kanean and building to the dignity of man- bood; but of late he exhibited evidences ut weakness, and bas at last faiton into line of official tools of the Tribune, He must know that in so doing he foregoos all claioa to the large rogpeot in which he was belb by the law abiding and peace loving portions of the com- tmunity, We tail to see upon what lie can base bis action or how he can justify bis course. It Governor Ewory were asked by the War Department if there Was Dot poace ia Utall be would ve obliged to perjure Dimself or answer in theafirmative;if be were called upon to state whether any law abiding citizen were in danger of bodily injury or loss of property he could only answer that-he knew of none He would be bound to state that the courts are in uniuterrupted Operation, and that life and property of all citizens and residents aro as sale in Utan as in New York or any other State of the Union, This Governor Emory knows to be a fact, but he daro not proclaim it lest he should be denounced by the Tribune, and probably lose bis official position. Bah! such tender fect! No one here who is obeyii the laws fears tho troops, Tou thousand soldiers would be a benelit to the Territory, because they would bring money here and spend it, The objection does not lie to the troops coming, bat im the manner of their being called. Now that His Excellency can no longer bo relicd upon to stand by the right wo again appeal to tending citizens to act for themselves. It is to their interest and the interestot the country todo so, Calla mass Meeting, and, setting forth the real facts ns thoy exist, erspoctiully and carnestly protest aguinst this unwar- ranted raid on unlortuoate Utab. Call for an investi- gation and let the truth be known, and offset and thwart, if possible, the effect of the lies, In the mean- time we advise the people to observe caution in all they do. We know, asail do, that thore is no dangor, but in the present state of excitement an utterance or demonstration, which in Itself had no significance, night lead to (rouble and serious consequences.

A MORMON CONUNDRUM. [From the Ogden (Utah) Junction, May 15.) Are special Jaws wauted against a beliel? Must an army be sent to Utah to ‘erash’’ an opinion’ If in this small community only a vory small proportiun of the men have more wives than one what doos all this rumpus mean? And why 1s the whole nation to be aroused, as the Hirao demands, to stamp out that which, if 1t be an evil, is like an infinitesimal spot com- pared with the deep social stains which broadly brand the body of the State and city where the HrraLty flourishes? And will the HexaLD man show us the connection, 10 bis latest efusion, between the ex- tinguishment of the twin rolic and the *‘trial and exo- cution of Brigham Young aud other Mormon mag- Dates for participation in a@ horrivie and inhuman crime???

BISHOP MORMON SNOW. {From the Salt Lake Tribune, May 15.) It the Mountain deadows Church has no wiser coun- cil chiefs or no better generals than Eldor Erastus Snow tt would be well for its leaders ta throw up the sponge at once, as auy attempt at defence will result in speedy overthrow. His gavage attack upon the Naw Youk Hewatp and his ribald abuso of the Salt Lake Tribune reporter intho Tabernacie, on Sunday, show that he is as void of common sen: he is utterly lacking of decency, The Hxka.o he charges with lying; it bas banded with numerous other Philistine journals to bring confusion apon the Satuis; its corre. spondent in this city is basely fabricating jalse stories to mislead the world and get the heathoa raging round God's elect. But the Lord will frustrate tho designs of His onemies, and the Elder will yet see that mammoth nowspaper establishment lift up and cast into the sea, BRIGHAM AND THE MASSACRE.

In ‘ho Mercer County Court to-day the caso of The State va, the suretios of tho former State Treasurer, Jorephus Sooy, Jr, now a convict in State Prison, to jr about forty-four thousand dollars, the amouvot of his defalcation, was brought to « termination by the jary rendering a special verdict in accordance with a long statement agreed upon by the respective coun- sel finding that there existed a dofalcation. It wi agreed to submit the following points to the Supreme Court:—First, Whether the boudsmen were rosponsi- bie betore the aetalcation Fred; seooud, Whetnor were lable for payments lo Sooy by the Pennsy!- vaoia Hatiroud Compavy aX joang to the State; third, If the deiaication conimenced with the date of the | of nego | throe persone, who protested ag: fore, that he is not Hable to further prosecution or puvishment. ‘Tbs purely legal defence is proper to be tried only by the court before which the case 18 pending, avd this department should not interiere. The second ground of this le ge 18 bused upen the allegation that Rehm, on his trial or the crimimal offence, Was promised by the government immunity from all civil and criminal Nabiity and punisbment for the acts complained of, not ouly in the indictment, but in the penuing civil auit as weil. If this allegation is established the suit should not be prosecuted, for the public faith given even to the Worst crimvinal is of nore worth than any argument of public pohey demanding the punishment of the guilty without fear or favor, The written statements of the District Attornoy and of the ominent counse] who acted for the Uvited Stetes in the criminal trial ~smake =a strong owing that such immunity was promised, and that Rehm, Upon His taith tn It, disclosed the conspiracy, of which he was. conspicuous member, and fuitilied his part of tbe agreem letter of Assisiant secretary French strongly supports this view. Still, a caretul | eXumination of these papers and the attending circum: | stances leave it coubUul iy my mind wheiher the 1 munity stupalated for extended beyvnd ihe case the Pending, which appears alone to bave been the subject tion. ‘The question of fine and imprisuument | imposed by the Conspiracy act, andthe extent aud lim- Mation of them, seem to have besa the only mmaunity contemplated by either the agrecment or the pardon.

Ho could not bo twice put in jeopardy for the same offence, and tue Court and the government would see to it that iis agrvement for immunity is not evaded or disregarded. Tho doubt with me is whether this suitis not for a dillerent cause of action not merely in form but in substance from the ove for which immunity was promised and granted. If the Present eu:t was cituer for taxes duo or for the breach of the torms of a bond it would clearly not fall within the termes of the iminunity or pardon, This suit ts to recover money due to the United States for taxes of which the United States has been improperly ae- prived by the act of Rebm and his asso ates Is not such liability clearly distin. guishadle froin a criminal charge of a conspiracy ‘Tho suit 1s founded upon section 4.296 of the Ke- vised Statutes, which creatos a liability of doubio the tax imposed on distilled spirits improperly removed from a distillory warehouse, not only us against the owner of tho spirits, out algo against any person who aids or abets such removal, If tors suit was against the owner of the spirits, who was directly interested in evuding the it could not fairly be claimed that the immunity promised in this case would reieuse nim trom civil Nability tor th Payment of the taxes actually doe und unpaid.
