The Mountain Meadow Massacre. As was anticipated, the jury in the Mountain Meadow Massacre case failed to find a verdict against Lee, the inhuinau wretch who executed the bIarbar'ous slaughter of the emi graints. -Nothing could be clearer than his guilt. Evidence, direct and circumstaptial, closed around him, net-like, fold upon fold, until to all but those wilo were determined from the outset to acquit him, he lay help lessly involved, awaiting merely the rope of the hangman to rid the world of one of the most fiendish beings that ever destroyed human life. But the jury were unable to agree. They stood nizw; for acquittal and three (two Mormons and a Gentile) for con Viction f The innocent blood on .Mountain Meadow, which these long years have been appealing for ven geance, will remain a sore shame to the Territory of Utah so long as those 'who sthed it walk the earth unpun ished. The trial, lacme and inconclu sive as it has been, has put beyond tlispute to eyery reasonable being that lrigltam Young was a prime mover in the slaughter of the emi grants. The proposed massacre was the subject of discussion before a Mormon council. The details of the pttack and the murder of the victims were carried out by Lee, with Dame ;and Higbee as assistants. The spoil was divitded openly among the Mor imons. Lee, as the historian of his iwmn infamous acts, recited the cir cunlstances of tihe horrible affair in a public ass.ebly. The law can not stop at this impotent stage in the proceedings against the authors of .one of the most blood-chilling acts elf modein times. Our jurists ought to be able to institute a trial of the mnurderers which will place it beyond the power of those who sympathise witlh the accused to set aside- the Clearest -evidenc.e and to defeat justice. - ew York Witness. A VALUABLE OLD BUCKET.-A few days ago Joe Endicott, of Franklin Towniship, was plowing in a field pear Darlington, whjch lie had rented from an o)4d man named Cox, when one of the shoyls of his plow un earthed an old tin bucket. Joe had ,uriosity enough to examine the bucket, just as niany another man looks at every old shop he turns up in an unexpected place, but with a very different result. Witin its rusty sides, carefully wrapped in pa per, each placed to itself, were gold coins in tives, tens und fifties. Not one of each, bn;g piles of them, and all genuine. -Joe could count, but lhe could lajtrdly trust his senses, for he made them al.unoo to $3,000. How the bucket came there, and how the lnoney happlened to drop into that bucket of all the places in that field, are puzzling questions. The story goes, however, that a little less than a score of years ago an odd old Euglishman Iameed Pratt worked in the Hollinngsworth. woolen factory, near the village of Darlingtou. Hie lived with his wife in a house which oince stood in the field in which Endi cott was plowing. He was reputed wealthy. He died during the early years of the war, leaving a widow who has since died. The gold just found js supposed to he a part of the itreasure which this thrifty couple ac cumiulated and which they probablv burii-d when the vwalbeg.an.-Crai t,-rd.-rile (h1d.) Jouhiotl.

Democrats Playing Into the Hl4nds of Grant. Under this caption the New York Herald has a leader, composed largely of opposition to a third term, but pre senting in a clear light the absolutely impregnable position President Grant will occupy if the Democrats continue the policy they have begun with. The tone of the article may be well judged by its concluding words. After dep recating the choice about to be forced on the people between inflation and a third term it says; " The ller.ld will not relax its strenuous opposition to the third term as fraught with the greater danger. Financial distress and the wreck of business can not reasonably be put into the scale against the subversion of our popular institutions." The people will probably think dif ferently, and consider commercial prosperity with the privilege of elect ing the man they wish as many times as they like perfectly compatible with the free institutions of which they are as proud and hold to as tenacious ly as the Herald could wish. It would be rather subversive of popular insti tutions if the American people were to be restricted, in the absence of any law, in their choice on a negative precedent that it had never been done beforle. After detailing the blunders of the Democratic party in 1864, 1868 and 1872, war and protection candidates on peace and free trade platforms; the fact that negro antipathy, though outgrown by enlightened Southern leaders, still prevents liberal seuti ments from influencing the masses; the splits whether the Democratic party shall be the white man's or not, or controlled by Morrissey or Kelly; and the fact that no Democrat in Ohio has denounced the platform, it asserts that Morton, Logan and Ferry will avoid the blunders of Pendleton, Ew ing and Allen, that a blinder set of political idiots never existed, and that they are doing their utmost to create the public necessity to which the President said he might be in duced to yield. If ,the party carries the Ohio election there will be no limit to the aggressive boldness of its inflation wing. On this point President Grant has fully committed himself, and as the Herald says : ' His veto of the inflation bill, the most important of all his civil acts, rescued the country from the self same danger which is again threatened by the Ohio Democrats, and if the in flation battle is to be fought over in a new field it will lie claimed by Grant's friends that lie is the fittest leader. Nobody doubts that on that issue he can be relied upon. He is comihitted to sound views, not only by his settled convictions, but by that part of his official record which won him more confidence and alp plause than all the other acts of his administration. It it not in his char acter to deviate from that applauded veto, when pride, policy, inborn stub bornness, as well as his sense of the public interest and experience of pub lie approbation, bind him to stubborn ness and consistency. On that great issue the public feels it safe to trust him, and of all possible blunders his opponents could have committed none so egregious as to bring this issue again into politics. It the Democrats had given him carte blanche to select tihe issue, he could not have hit upon one so damaging to them or so full of promise to him. Besides being a question of the first magnitude, it is the one question upon which he is strongly intrenched in the public con fidence." With such a candidate as this, so praised by his bitterest opponent, the people will not be likely to consider they have lost any of their freedom in casting their votes for a .third term, and against the "financial,distress and wreck of business " which the Hlerald prefers.--N.

While the wheat market is "' boom ing,' cotton manifests more depres sion than at any tine within the past two months. Notwithstanding the fact that our crop for the year just ending has been fully :00,000 bales less than the preceding onl, the stock of American cotton at Liverpool is 150,000 bales larger than it was a year ago, and the Liverpool price on the 22nd nit., was 6 15-16d., against 8d in 1874. The Liverpool Econo mist says that the onarket at Man chester is flat, that stocks are accn mulating and that the raw material is in but little demand at Liverpool. England wants our wheat, for, how ever dull trade may become, her peo ple must have bread to eat ; but as to cotton the case is quite different. In dia is competing with cotton mann facturers on so formidable a scale as to drive them almost altogether out of the market there and in China. This was the prime cause of the re cent heavy failures in London, Liver pool and Manchester. The Madison Journal has this to say of a prominent gentleman from tliat parish: Our late District Attorney, Judge Hiram R. Steele, is a rising man. Less than six months ago he vacated the olfice of District Attorney for this District to become Assistant Attorney General for the State, and now he walks into the office of Superior Crim inal Judge of New Orleans. We con gratulate the Judge on his promotion, and the people of New Orleans on so good an oflicer. This appointment gives great satisfaction to the press of New Orleans. The Picayune, the Republican, the Times and the Bul letin are all content. Gov. Kellogg is to be congratulated ; he has made an appointment that pleases all par ties and all factions; the Radicals, the Conservatives, the Democrats and the White Leaguers are equally satisfied. TrIAT SAVED HI[.--It has been generally supposed that a bald head was of no account, even to the owner, but Vicksburg stands up and remarks to the contrary. The other day a res ident of this city went up to Thomp son's lake to get a shot at the big alligator, and while eating a cold bite in the shade a man jumped over the fence, presented an old army musket at his head and cried out : " Stranger, unkiver yer head ! " The Vickshlrger was dumbfounded, but made haste to remove his hat and exhibit a pate which shone like a nbwly polished pilpaw. " Stranger, that saves ye! " con tinued the man, as he shouldered his musket; I thought ye was the red headed peddler who charged my wife seventy-five cents for a testament which hasn't got a darned picture in it ! " A man about forty years of age, only about four feet high, accompan ied by his wife and two step daugh ters, were lodged Wednesday night at the tirst district station. The man gave his name as James Hobbs, but his wife calls him Jemes. This fainm ily is from Caddo parish, Louisiana, where they lived until about a year ago, when getting tired of their abode and being without means they started North on foot, working whenever ne cessity compelled them, and finally arrived here last Wednesday night, having been about one year on the road.-St. Louis Rcpnblicau.

The NEW ORLEANS & TEXAS RAILROAD has its western terminus at Donaldsonville, temporarily, and a passenger and freight train makes a daily trip each way, affording cheap and rapid communication with the metropolis. During the Fall and Winter freight is carried by a separate train. Donaldsonville is steadily increasing in size and population, and being the commer cial centre of an extensive radius of fertile and constantly improving country, drives a thriving and growing trade. There is not a locality in the State that offers superior ad vantages to the foreign merchant, manufac turer, etc., seeking a market for his wares, and there is no better nrdium for introduc ing a business to the people of this section than an advertisement in the columns of the CHIEF, which has attained a local circulation that will comparg favorably with that of any paper in Louisiana, outside of New Or leans and Shreveport.

In the recent elections the people have declared in favor of honesty in politics and independence in jomunalism. The _i'bune, which years ago declared that it was not and never more would be a party organ, claims the verdict, as the popular vindication of its course, and recognizes in the result the voice of the people for reform and integrity in government, for candor and independence among newspaper- During the campaign which has just clobel ..e Tribune has fully maintained its right to the title of the "Leading American Newspaper." This position it has earned and retained for the following, among other reasons: It publshes all the news, earlier, more fully, and more intelligently than any other paper. It insists on peace throughout the whole country, the right of local self-government, and the protection of all classes in the ex ercise of their just and legal rights. It advocates confidence ane good feeling between North and South, and labors for an honest and abiding reconciliation. It maintains fairness and candor toward all public men and questions, and dignity and courtesy toward associates and rivals. It publishes scientific news, reports, dis cussions and discoveries to a degree of full ness and accuracy never before attained by any paper. It gives every week ten or more columns of the most carefully prepared agricultural matter during the year, much more in the aggregate than the entire contents of any other agricultural publication, and the whole forming a department oe which an eminent agricultural editor said : " It has done more to make good farmers than any other influence which ever existed." It has published a series of scientific and literary extras which have met a wider sale and more emphatic popular approval than any similar publication of the kind.
