has so embittered the people of the State
against him, I hat they will make no con

or delay by the NichollV government in
perfecting Its organization, and this will
be done without any regard to inquiries
from Washington or intimations that it
will be con-trued as a violation ot the
stum iiin. It is considered that tlie nuit

natible with public order. Suggestions of
General Auger and intimations of lorcihle
intervention are entirely unheeded hy the

sents decided public opinion in following
this course. It could not no o!iierwie n

of tlie secretary ot the executive commit
tec, P. S. Dorney. The investigation
tailed to show anything resembling the
statements recently published, purporting
to be extracts from the Constitution of
the order, and enjoining an unlawful
course towards Chinamen, but proved the
order to be virtually a vast labor exchange
seeking to remedy the Chinese evil by
pledging tlie patronage of the brother
hood lor the purpose of using the order as
a labor exchange.

Sax Bl'ENA Yenttra. March 28. The
examination of C. T. McCarthy, for com
plicity in the murder of T. W. Moorc,was
to-day postponed until Friday, the prose
cution not being ready. Tlie conviction
grows stronger that the men who planned
the murder never took such a half-witted
man as the prisoner into their confidence.
J t there is anything being done to ferret
out the assassins t he public is not aware of
the fact. None of the brothers or connec
tions ot the murdered man have been here
since tlie funeral at Santa Barbara, and the
district attorney is absent, no one seems
to know where. The body was buried
without extracting any ol nine bullets
contained in It, and all foot tracks, under
the influence of prevailing winds, have
disappeared, still proper di-tective work
may be going on, but not through our
county otlicials. The examination on

Everett Hale does not greatly care for re
vivals and revivalists, lie tells this sug
gestive story: "Iu early life I happened to
meet one morning with ihe distinguished
author, Sylvester Judd, just aftor we bad
both beard a greet preacher, a man of much
rhetorical power aud remarkable 'religiosi
ty ' speak on the text: 'The whole creation
groaned in paiu together until now.' I ask
ed Mr. Judd how he liked the sermon. 'I
stood it through with dilliculty,' he said in
a sort of agony. 'I stood it till he came to
the place where he abused God's ocean, But
when he (-aid that that was roaring in pain,
was howling with anouy as convicted of sin,
I had lo leave my beat and leave the church.
I crowded by l,ie good woman at the door
of the piiw. 'Kxeuse me, Madam, but it
makes ;ne sick.' I said. 1 was not myself
till I stood under God's clear s ars in his
still night. They were no' in anguish; they
were not howliu iu pain. And I could not.
hear that man defaming them.' And then
more seriously, Mr. Judd went on: "Is
there nothing better to preach about than
sin? Always sin! sin! urn! Is not virtue
better to talk about than vice? Is it not bet
ter to think about the pure than the impure?
Are not love aud truth and beauty subjects
better iitted for God's children than always

1357. The early tail now forced Comman

put the soldiers upon short rations, and
early in the spring of 1S53 these teamsters
were discharged and permitted to return
East, where they had entered the govern
ment service. They preferred to go west
and started for California. They believed
that, as non-combatants, they would be
permitted to pass through Utah unmolest

The gentleman, who was then among tlie
Mormons in hcho canyon and now resid

seems that the Mormon military authori

eighty teamsters into small squads, no
doubt thinking their purposes could be
easier accomplished than if they bad been
