THER TEMPORIZING
OR FEDERAL IN
TERFERENCE.
Charleston, S. C. March 23_The
feeling is general here that Gov. Hamp
ton ought not to go to Washington at the
bidding of President Hayes. That his
right and duty to hold the office to which
a majority of the people elecUd him are
matters over which the fédérai adminis
tration can exercise no justifiable control
and that President Haves must make his
choice between fulfilling his pledgers to
restore self-government, peace and pros
perity to South Carolina by the cessation
of military interference in her affairs,
else establish at once military govern
ment throughout the State. Any kind
of compromise with the thieving crew of
carpet-baggers is regarded as dishonor
able and ruinous, and may be set down
as out of the question. Your correspond
ent lias conversed this evening with a
score ol leading citizens, and finds no dis
sent from this view. Telegrams from
Columbia represent the same feeling pre
vailing there. Gov. Hampton declines
to express him self before receiving the
President's letter officially, but it is con
sidered certain that he will decline the
invitation to Washington. The News
and Courier will to-morrow strongly urge
him to remained at his post. Charaber

New Orleans, March 13.—The gener
al meeting of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange to day; the largest ever con
vened, adopted preamble and resolutions
strongly indorsing Nicholls' government.
The preamble pronounces the statement
that the .business men of the city are
willing to recognize Packard as the law
ful Governor of the State as utterly false;
that members, adherents of both political
parties, feel called upon in the interest of
peace and good order and lawful govern
ment to solemnly protest against any
credit being given to such assertion. The
following is a synopsis of tho resolu
tions:
First, that Francis T. Nicholls is recog
nized and obeyed as the lawful Govern
or of the State by nine-tenths of the hon
est, intelligent and and taxpaying classes
of the State, and by a numerical majori
ty of the citizens without distinction of
race or color. Second, in confirmation
of the first, cites the ready obedience
yeilded by all classes to the authority of
the courts, sherifi', and other officials act
ing under Nicholls, and the voluntary
payment of taxes in advance of the time
fixed by law. Third, protestsagainst the
right of any power outside of the State
government ether than that of Nicholls,
which is recognized and obeved by the
people. Fourth, protest against [any at
tempt to impose Packard upon the people
as Governor of the State; expressing the
firm belief that such attempt would lead
to civil strife, and to a resistance w hich
would speedily assume such formidable
proportions as would endanger the peace
and prosperity of the entire country.
Cotton Exchange preamble and reso
lution were telegraphed to President
Hayes. It is stated meetings will be held
bv the Chamber of Commerce, Mer
chante' Exchange, Stock Exchange,
Board of Trade and Clearing House As
sociation in contradiction of the assertion
that the business men here would be sat
isfied with Packard for Governor. Meet
ings are called here and throughout the
State to endorse and pledge support
Nicholls.

SHOT DEAD UPON HIS COFFIN.
SPEECH OF THE CONDEMNED MAN—Hie
DRATU AT THE SCENE OF HIS CRIME
-—FIVE BULLETS PI EKCE HISBBAST.
THE SCENE OF EXECUTION.
Salt Lake Citt, Utah, March 23.—
John D. Lee, the principal in the
Mountain Meadows, massacre, was shot
at Mountain Meadows, between 11 and
12 o'clock to-day, In expiation of his
terrible crime. At 11A.M. precisely
Lee was brought out upon the scene
of the massacre at Mountain Meadows
before the execution party and seated
on bis coffin, about twenty feet from
the shooters. After the order of the
court was road to him and the com
pany present by Marshal Nelson, Lee
made a speech; bitterly denouncing
Brigham Y oung, and calling himself
a scapegoat for the sins of others.
He huped God would be merciful.
He denied that he was guilty of blood
shed to the last, and maintained that
his mission to Mountain Meadows was
one of mercy, and that he did all he
could to save the emigrants.
SPEECH OF THE DOOMED MAN.
The speech of Lea was as follows:
"1 have but little to say this morn
ing ; of course I feel that I am upon
the brink of eternity, and solmenity
of eternity should rest upon my mind
at present. I have made out, or en
deavored to do so, a manuscript and
an abridged history of my life. This
will be published. Sir, I have given
my views and feelings with regard to
all these things. I feel resigned to my
fate; I feel as calm as a summer morn
ing; I have done nothing designedly
wrong; my conscience is clear before
God and man, and I am ready to meet
my Redeemer. Iam not an infidel; I
have not denied God or his mercy; I
am a strong believer in those things.
The most I regret is that of parting
with my family, many of them are
unprotected and will be left fatherless.
When I speak of these little ones they
touch a tender chord within me. [Here
Lee's voice faltered perceptibly.]
"I have done nothing designedly
wrong in this affair. 1 used my ut
most endeavors to save the people. I
would have given the world were it at
my command to have avoided that
calamity, but I could not. I am sacri
ficed to satisfy feelings, and am used
to gratify parties; but I am ready to
die. I have no fear. Death has no
terrors, and no particle of mercy have
I asked of of the court or officials to
spare my life; I do not fear death, I
shall never go to a worse place than
the one I am nowin. I have said it to
my family, and I will say it to-day,
that the government of the United
States sacrifices their best friend, and
that is saying a great deal, bntitis
true. I am a true believer in the Gos
pel of .Tesus Christ.

Lee fell square back upon his coffin
dead. Death was instantaneous. The
body was placed in the coffin and the
crowd dispersed. There were about
seventy-five persons all told on the

THOUSAND'S OR AFFIDAVITS.
Many having used "patent" and pre
pared medicines and failed in finding the
relief promised, are thereby prejudiced
against all medicines. Is this right?
Would you condemn all physicians be
cause one failed in giving the relief
promised ? Some go to California in
search of gold, and after working hard
for moaths and finding none, return
home and say there is no gold there.
Does that prove it? Many suffering
with Catarrh and pulmonary affections
have used the worthless preparations that
crowd the market, anil in their disap
pointment sav there is no cure for Ca
tarrh. Does that prove it? Does it not
rather prove that they have failed to em
ploy the proper remedy ? There are
thousands ef people in the United States
who can make an affidavit that Dr. Sag

Medical Discovery have effected their
entire cure. Many had lost all sense of

THIRD EDITION!
Our Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, March 22.
The past week has been one of anxietv:
the great interest centering in the action
of the Administrasion in regard to South
Carolina and Louisiana. The Senate ad
ame die Saturday, leaving no obstacle in
Hayes's path if he wished to dojustice to
the people of those States, and end the
suspense that is ruining business of every
kind within their borders. But instead
of straightforward action there has been
stil! further delay. The withdrawal of
troops would give peace to the people of
those States in twenty-four hours, yet
Hayes hesitates notwithstanding his prom
ises. The Cabinet considered the ques
tion Tuesday, sitting live hours. Wed
nesday they met again and instead of
manly action it was agreed to send a
commission to Louisiana and South Car
olina. This is a triumpli for the carpet
baggers. This want of decision betrays
Hayes's weakness and forebodes
cess to his Administration.
It has been decided to call an extra
session of Congress, It will he convened
the first Monday of June, the 4th. The
correspondent of the New York Sun star
tled the country on Monday by declaring
that the Republicans would organize the
House, and that Foster of Ohio would be
the Speaker. The reasons given were,
that the South was anxious for the
no suc
pas
sage of the Texas Pacific Railroad bill,
and that the Republicans would agree to
assist in the passage of that and some
other kindred measures, if the Democrat
ic members from the South would give
the Republicans the organization of the
House. There is no reason to justify
any such anticipation. The next House
is Democia'ic, and it cannot be organized
in the interest ot Hayes,
Hayes will not find it easy saUing,
whether he recognizes the true govern
ments of South Carolina and Louisiana,
or the carpet-baggers. The fact is his
party is opposed to his Southern policy,
and to carry it out Hayes must look to
the Democrats for support. The South
ern Republicans are the most outspoken
against his policy, and believing they hold
the balance of power, will seek to dictate
terms to their Northern brethren.
Southern men and women who looked
for patronage through Keys, the Postmas
ter General, are already disappointed. He
writes in answer to Senator Merrimon, of
North Carolina., that offices will be given
to native Republicans, but if competent
persons cannot be found amongst them,
then Democrats will be approved,
is not what was expected of the Adminis
tration that boasts it will build up a Re
publican party in the South by utilizing
the old Whig material.
Civil service reform promises to be a
fraud. The different departments are
announcing "there will be no dismissal«
except for cause or promotions except for
merit." This sounds well, but it is given
out for consumption by the business'meu
of the country to Insure their support in
the next campaign. These rules only ap
ply to those not affected by them. Sena
tor Morton's son is appointed to a lucra
crative position to oblige his father and
the Alaska Seal company that has a mon
opoly of the seal fisheries of that Terri
tory. Already many appointments have
been made without any regard whatever
to the rules given out at headquarters.
Don Cameron has been elected to suc
ceed his father in the Senate. From the
tone of the press of -Pennsylvania, this is
not a very profitable selection, even from
a party view. The uncomplimentary no
tices of the father are not a few and I
must add another. Simon Cameron got
himself spoken of as a candidate for tlu*
Presidency before the Chicago conven
tion in 18<>0, He traded on his reputa
tion, and Lincoln's friends, it is believed
without his knowledge, promised Came
ron a cabinet position, if he would carry
his delegation for the great Illiuoisian.
He did so, and Lincoln made him Secre
tary of War. Within a year the corrup
tion in that department was so great that
the House of Representatives ordered au
investigation and as a result passed a re
solution of censure upon the Secretary.
Lincoln then turned him out, lettiug him
down as easily as possible by sending
him to St. Petersburg. The Winnebago
Chief bided his time, and had a member
of the House returned fer several Con
gresses. for the sole purpose of haring
that resolution of censure rescinded, it
was finally done on the ground that all
matters connected with the war should
be forgiven, and an amnesty granted to
Northern as well as Southern offenders.
But the facts cannot be so easily rescind
ed. and the old chief of corruption must
carry the burden of infamy, which his
corrupt practices entailed upon him to
his grave.
Thomas Biggins, insane or reputed in
sane, has sued ex-Presideut Grant for
$100,000 damages, because, as be alleges,
Grant had him arrested and finally lock
ed up in the government Insane Asylum
for this District. Biggins charged Gran"
with an infamous crime and threatened
his life. He was insane, or assumed Ito
he insane, that he might carry out his
threats with little or no inconvenience
to himself. He was finally let out of the
asylum on condition that lie would go to
Europe. He went, but returned on the
next steamer. He has since kept a gro
cery store on F. Street near 21st N. W.
He appeared before a committee of the
Hoiise at the first session ot last Congress
but when he commenced talking of G
Grant's Fpirit visiting his bedside, he was
soon dismissed. The facts will no doubt
be developed at the trial, and Grant be
exonerated from a charge that is very
annoying, even if nobody believed it.
Some thieving has been developed in
the Treasury Department, in which sev
eral clerks and Assistant-<Secretary Con
ant are said to be implicated. The crime
is giving information about unclaimed
interest on bonds so as to enable the
amounts to be drawn forged papers, by
g ersons having no claim to the interest,
everal arrests have been made.
The Washington club house was sold
last Monday at Marshals sale. It was
the headquarters of the District ring in
its palmiest days, and was instituted as a
means of corrupting and influencing
Congressmen. The ring investigations,
with unbounded extravagance, together
with the hard times, has made nearly ev
ery member |of the ring bankrupts, and
the sale of the club house was a matter of
course. This is a further illustration ot
ths truth that ill-gotten gains seldom
benefit the receiver, and that every bad
action contains within itself the germ of
