What Briqham Youno Has Done and
ExrnoTa to Do.?Tho New York Herald
publishes a letter from Brigham Young,
dated Salt Lake City, April 10, and'
transmitted by telegraph. The oele
brated old sinner, or saint, gives a oon
oise aooount of his achievements and in?
tentions. Ho says:
"For over forty years, I have servod
my people, laboring incessantly, and am!
now nearly seventy-two years of age,
and I need relaxation. My resignations
as trustee in trust for the church, as
President of Zion's Go-operative Mer?
cantile Institution and of the Deseret
National Bank, are made solely from
Becular oarea and responsibilities, and do
not affect my position as President of.
the ohuroh. In that, papaoity, T shall
still exercise supervision over business,
eooleaiastioaTana secular?leaving, the mi
nuti/o to: younger men.""
^ After referring briefly to the success?
ful management of the Mormon financial
institutions, he eontinaes:
"Our railroads are in good condition.
The Utah Central is thirty-seven miles
long; its gross earnings for 1872 were
$420,000. The expenses, in ronnd hum-,
bars, were $210,000; the net earnings
were $210,000, I state these facts, as
efforts may be made to damage the cre?
dit o! these institntions. There is an?
other railroad here also doing good busi?
ness. The Utah Southern is built about
thirty-two miles, narrow gauge. Roads
connecting with this are being construct?
ed into Little Oottonwood, Binghaml
Canyon and American Fork, to meet the
demand for transportation to and from
the various mining camps of these re?
gions. The Utah Northern is being con?
structed from a junction with the Cen?
tral Pacific, through our principal North
era settlements into South-eastern Idaho,
and other narrow gauge roads are in con-,
Btraotion or in contemplation.
"We intend.establishing settlements
in Arizona, in the country of the
Apoohos, persuaded that if we become
acquainted with them we oan influence
them to peaoe in accordance with Presi?
dent-Grant's Indian policy, and open np
that country to settlement by the whites.
Our cities, towns and villages now ex?
tend abont 400 miles in that direction;
and, in view of the railroad crossing that
? country, wa hope to be prepared to as?
sist in its construction, and when com?
pleted, bring a large portion of our emi?
gration that way to settle the country."
He next alludes to the policy of his
Government to promote the agricultural
interest, and its great sucoess, and calls
.attention to the iron and coal mines of
Utah, for the development of which he
relies mainly on foreign capital. He de?
nies the often repeated story that he has
several millions pounds sterling deposit?
ed to his credit in'the Bank of England.
He sums up as follows:
"The result of my labors for the last
twenty-six years, briefly summed up,
are: The peopling of this Territory by
the Lit tu r- Day Saints of about 100,000
souls; the founding of over 200 aities,
towns- and villages, inhabited by our
people,, which extend to Idaho in the
North, - Wyoming in the East, Nevada in
the West and Arizona in the South, and
the establishment of schools, factories
mills and other institutions calculated to
benefit and improve our community."
? There is a Judge in Missouri who has
given an ex cathedra oonsolation to all
officials who are required by their office
to pass or execute a sentence of death
upon convicted murderers. In pronounc?
ing a death sentenoe, he.said:
"If guilty, you riohly deserve the fate
which awaits you; if innocent, it will be
a gratification for you to feel that you
were hanged without suoh a orime on
yonr conaoience; in either cose, you will
be delivered from .-a world of euro."
There iB more philosophy in this than
a man about to be hanged oould reason?
ably be expected to adopt; but it ia a
very sensible statement of the case, so
far aa judicial or executive responsibility
goes.
Tho'Now Yoik Herald has en elabo?
rate editorial article on the causes of the
present advance in the onrronoy price
of gold, the substance of which is that,
after all, clique combinations in Wall
street have less to do with it than the
natural laws of trade; that we are deeply
in debt to foreign countries, and gold is
needed to adjust that indebtedness; that
the stock on hand is small, and is daily
growing less, while we are piling up the
importations as if pay-days were never
to oome.
Conservative Victories at Florence
and Georgetown.?A special telegram
to tho Charleston News aay?:
The mnnioipal election in Florence

Woodbury^John W. Tarbox and Arthur
Morgan.
Comments on the Modo a Mabsaore."
All the New York morning papers of the
14th comment on theModoo massacre.
The Herald says tho Instructions given
to Oen. Schofleld mean the utter exter?
mination of Captain Jaok and his follow?
ers, and there will be.no desire to Btay
the hand of. retribution. The Indian
agents, commissioners and philanthro?
pists may do their best to exoite sympa?
thy for the treacherous wretches, and to
save the peace policy, which has proved
so profitable to many of its advooates,
bat the people will approve the sentence
of extermination. There has been no
judgment, no fore thong ht, no firmness,
no settled purpose in our Indian polioy;
and in this difficulty with Captain Jaok
and his band, the action of the authori?
ties has been more than ordinarily inju?
dicious. We are told tbat~the War De?
partment has long known that it was
unwice and dangerous to temporize with
tUesoMvages: baft the hands of the mur?
dered General were tiod by the intrigoes
of the peaoe party at Washington, and
he was foroed into notion that lost him
his life. The xterald thinks the peace
system is of questionable exp'edionoy,
and believes that mach of the evil can
be traced to corrupt influences oouneot
ed with the Indian Bureau and the mer?
cenary character of onr Indian agents.
The Times says that those who think
that the murder of General Canby end
his associates should be followed by the
abandonment of the peace polioy, wonld
do well to reflect what that polioy is. It
reviews tho principal featnros of that
polioy and defends it, saying who shall
say the idea was not as amiable *a it was
humane? All tho agonta of the Govern?
ment have taken their lives in their own
hands in dealing with, the .Indiana.
They have known this fact and accepted
it. It pays a tribute to General Canby'b
bravery and experience, bnteays: "ahull
we ask the Government to immediately
retrace tho steps taken towards the paci?
fication of the Indians, and drive those
to arms who have taken up the plow and
spade? Nothing would be easier; but
nothing would be more unwise, more
wasteful of the lives of our soldiers and
of the people on the border."
The Tribune thinks that Friday's ca?
tastrophe is the natural, legitimate result
of the conduct of tho Government dur?
ing the whole progress of the Modoo
war. Every step which has been taken
by orders from Washington since the
first outbreak has been ill-taken. It
obarges that Grant's Indian polioy has
disastrously and utterly failed to keep
peaoe on the frontier.
The World strongly condemns tho In
I dian polioy, and says that the news of
the Modoo massacre pats it to shame.
The perfidious assassination of General
I Canby and his associates will stir public
feeling to its profonndest depths.
The Washington National Republican
says: "Of course there is only one plan
to be pursued by the Government. No
matter the cost or the consequences,
they muBt be exterminated/ root and
branch. So far as they are concerned,
tho peace polioy is all nonsense. To
dream of civilizing them, is tho sheerest
absurdity. To think of conciliating
tbom with trinkets and presents of beads
and blankets, is pure sentlmentalism.
The whole power of Government should,
if necessary, be exerted to capture and
bring to condign punishment this
savage outlaw and his 850 partners in
crime, who have pat to the blush the
wildest tale of Indian savagery, du
plioity and treachery. To be sure, the
lives of these worthless oreatnres will be
a poor compensation for tbe loss of the
gallant soldier who now lies dead upon
oar Indian frontier, but it will be some
satisfaction to the country to know that
I tbe perpetrators of so dark a deed are
j forever removed from tbe possibility of
committing similar outrages in tbe
I future. A stern demand for jastice will
jo np from all the land, which can only
jo satisfied by making the Modoo name
I a memory and a tradition."
The press and people, as evidenced by
the above extraots, are free in the ex?
pression of opinion that a war of exter
I ruination should be waged against the
hostile bands of Indians infeeting the
frontiers of the West. While it is an
open question as to whether revenge for
the death of two citizens should be
sonloioni cauao for a polioy that will
probably involvd the massacre of nearly
every family that have settled in the far
West, there can be no doubt that more
I severe measures should be resorted to
than has hitherto been used toward
"Poor Lo."
A Wondeiifotj Disoovsnx.?If tho
Washington letter-writers may be be?
lieved, a greater than Morse io the in?
ventive line haB arisen. The trump of
fame sounds with an anaooustomed name
-the name of Loomis. The specific
thing Mr. Loomis is going to do is to
maintain an eleotro-telegraph communi?
cation botween Amerioa and the ends of
the earth, without the aid of. wires. The
cost of Atlantic cables is to be abolished,
and a men on the Rooky Mountains is to
talk jast as easily to his friend on Mont
Blanc, in Switzerland, as if thoy were
talking aoross the street. Mr. Loomis
is going to do this by atilizing tbe im?
mense reservoir of eleotrioity in the at?
mosphere two or three miles above tbe
earth's surfaoe. Chimerical as this
seems to the superficial observer, he has
editors, and even Congressmen, enthusi?
astically endorsing his conclusions. The
Philadelphia Press boosts bim with two
columns of praise.

Barnwbdl O. H., 8. O., April 6, 1878.
Mi:, Editor: I am gratified to see
that you Lave devoted Some space in
your excellent paper to*the anbjeot. of
education, and hope yon will continue
your efforts until a change for the better'
takes plaoe in the management of this
all-important subjeot. The State ?aper
inten dent, in his report to the^Tast Le?
gislature, admits that the law9h the sub?
jeot is dofootive, and consequently fails
of accomplishing the. desired benefit.
The question, then, for consideration is,
how are tho defects tovbo remedied? I
answer, by calling a convention of the
teaohers, to moot at Columbia, and con?
sult on the boat methods of condnoting
this very important interest, upon which
depends the necessary training and edu?
cation of our youth. Again, I consider
that the office of School Commissioner
in all the Counties of the State should be
filled by teaohers who, from long expe?
rience, know how to administer the in?
terests of the subject by selecting com?
petent teaohers and viBiting and examin?
ing the sohools, and thus, by a careful
supervision, seoure the blessings of uni?
versal eduoation.
Another point I wish to oall your at?
tention to, is the small compensation al?
lowed to teaohers, and thus preventing
competent men from engaging in the
business. It is this whioh brings so many
inoompetent men into our school houses.
This ought not to be. A remedy ought
to be provided?first, by raising their
salaries; and, secondly, by having more
vigilant Boards of Examiners.
I have made these suggestions merely
to call your attention to this muoh-no
gleoted and badly managed subjeot, bo
necessary to the welfare of our State. .
I send you a copy of some resolutions
passed at a meeting of "The Teachers'
Institute" and hope you will give them
an insertion in your paper, and make
them a basis of operations in the dis?
cussion of this subjeot.
AN OLD TEACHER.
' The following are the reaolutions:
Resolved, That a committee of four,
consisting of Revs. Havener, Buist,
Dowling, MoMillan and Mr. Colding, to
draft suitable resolutions to increase the
pay of teaohers, of all grades, and pre?
sent the same to the Hon. J. K. Jillson,
State Superintendent of Eduoation.
Resolved, That we aak the Sobool Com?
missioner to endorso and forward the
mine. Carried.
The committee reported back the fol?
lowing resolutions, whioh wero unani?
mously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
institute that the present salaries oi
teachers in this County are inadequate
to their support and the. services per?
formed, and. that we do earnestly petition
Hon. J. K. Jillson, Superintendent of
Eduoation, for an increase of pay, to
wit: First grade, $75; second grade,
815; third grade, 335 per month. In
support of which we beg to state that
in all the Southern States the compen*
sation for teachers' wages is not less
than 3100 per mouth for first grade
teaohers, $75 for the second and 850 for
the third.
Resolved, further, That we respectfully
petition that the Hon. J. E. Jillson,
Superintendent of Eduoation, will issue
an order requiring the Sohool Commis?
sioner of Barnwell County to allow the
teaohers of all grades full compensation
for services, without regard to any par?
ticular average number of scholars.
Kind Words for the South.?From
an editorial in the New York Herald, we
extract the following:
"Still, there is another and a more
oheeriog side to the picture. The cotton
crop of 1872 has proved larger than was
expected. The total recoipte at all the
ports since the crop began to come in
last September, amount to 3,011,056
bales, an increase over last year of 583,
000 bales. What amount remains yet to
come to market, we are not informed.
Supposing the total should be 3,500,000
bales, the value would be at least $250,
000,000. The export has reached 1,850,
029 bales, and it is fair to presume it will
reach over 2,000,000 bales. That would
make tho value of this article of export
alono nearly $150,000,000. Of course,
some of these figures are only approx?
imate, but are near enough to show ge?
nerally the amount, value and movement
of the crop, of 1872. We can afford,
then, to import largely with suoh export
resources. And here it may be well to
call attention to this great and valuable
production of the South, under the pe?
culiar and depressing oiroumBtanoos in
whioh that sootion of our oountry has
been involved. It shows that the South
has risen from the most terrible war de?
struction that ever fell npon a people, as
if by magic Though utterly ruined for
the time, impoverished almost beyond
precedent, with no money or credit, a
capital of $2,000,000,000 to $3,000,000,
000 swept away in two or three years, tho
whole system of labor revolutionised and
disorganized, oppressed by political and
sooiai disabilities resulting from the war,
and then fearfully plundered by a horde
of oarpet-bag strangers who had no
abiding interest in the South, the South?
erners have accomplished what would
have seemod incredible, and what hardly
any other people could have accom?
plished. And it is fair to say that much
of this is due to the good oonduot and
labor of the emancipated negroes as well
as to tho industry, toot and forbearance
of tho native whites. The basis of this
wonderful resuscitation, however, is in
the rioh soil and genial climate of the
Southern States. So with regard to to?
bacco and othor products of tho South,
whioh contribute largely both in helping
to pay for our imports and to promote
internal trade.

Arrest of a County Treasurer.?
Advice* from Greenville are to the effect
that: County Treasurer James M.Allen ?
I has been arrested and placed in jail,, on
aohargoof being a defaulter to the ex?
tent of $00,000. Under the Statute,
this is not a bailable offence. It appears
that State Treasurer Oardozo having
drawn upon County Treasurer Allen for
$30,000, and the draft not being ho?
nored, he sent up one of his clerks, to
effect an arrangement and secure a set?
tlement, with a warrant of arrest, in case
payment was set made. Treasurer Allen
having refused to settle, according to
tho orders of State Treasurer Cardoso,
he was immediately arrested and lodged
in jail The friends of the alleged de?
faulting Treasurer assert that he has un?
paid claims to a large amount against
the State, and refuses to pay over the
funds in his hands until he is made se?
cure in the payment of his claims.
The Temperanoh Movement?That's
What's the Matter ?A gentleman from
New York, who is in the habit of taking
his toddies every day, (to assist diges?
tion, of course.) invited several friends,
yesterday, to join him in a social glass,
but they happened to be teetotallers, and
declined. A little later in the day, he
met two more of his acquaintances, to
whom a similar invitation was extended,
and it was accepted. Proceeding to a
neighboring dispensary, one of the in?
vited called for cider and the other

1 Languor, lassitude, an indisposition to
engage in any actual employment, men?
tal dullness and melancholy are evils
whioh materially detract from human
enjoyment, and they are experienced in
a greater or less degree, according to tljo
temperament and constitutional tenden?
cies of the individual, by a large propor?
tion of the community in spring. To
ronse the physical and mental powers
from this sluggish condition, a tonic and
corrective is imperatively required, and
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the only
medioinal preparation in existence,, that
is thoroughly adapted to the work. The
first dose produces a genial glow
thronghont the system, whioh is an ear?
nest of permanent relief. As time wears
on, and the tonic and regulating proper?
ties of this pnre and agreeable vegetable
remedy takes full effect, every trace of
debility, nervousness and hypochondria
vanishes, and mind and body become
alike alert and vigorous. Apl3-|3+1
