FRIDAY MORNSYG, April 15. 1881. The Designs of the Mormons. Some idea of the avowed desigr.3 of the Mormon government may be formed from the following public statements, recently made by their Bishop, hunt: 44 Our church has been organized onl}’ fifty years, and }’ct behold its wealth and power! This is our 3*ear of jubilee. We look forward with perfect confidence to the day when ice will hold the reins of the United States govern ment! That is our present temporal aim ; after that we expect to control this continent. We (Jo not care for the territorial officials sent out to govern us. They arc nobodies here. Wc do not recognize them. Nor do we fear any practical interference by Congress. 'To day we hold the balance of political power in Idaho; we rule in Utah absolutely, and in a very short lime we will hold the balance of power in Arizona and Wyoming. A few months ago President Snow, of St. George, set out with a band of priests for an extensive tour through Colorado, New Mexico, Wyom ing. Montana, Idaho and Arizonatoproselyte. Wc also expect to send missionaries to some parts of Nevada, and wc design to plant colonies in Washington Territory. In the past six months we have sent more than three thousand of our people down through the Sevier val!ey r to settle in Arizona, and the movement still progresses. All this will help to build up for us a political power, that the demagogues will bo forced to recognize. Our ▼ote is solid and will always remain so. It will be thrown where the most good will be accomplished for the Church. Then, in some great political crisis, the two great political parties will bid for our support. Utah will then be admitted as a polygamous State, and the other Territories we have peacefully subjugated will be admitted also. We will then hold the balance of power and will dictate. In time our principles , which are of sacred origin, will spread throughout the United Slates. We will possess the ability to turn the politi cal scalo in any particular community we desire. Our people are obedient. You can imagine the results which wisdom may bring about with the assistance of a church organ ization like ours. It is the complctest one the world has ever seen." That this is not idle talk, will be seen from t he statements of Judge Goodwin, in the North American Review for March, 1881 : “Of the 14f),000 people in Utah, more than 100,000— probably 120,000 —are Mormons. And the hive has commenced to swarm. To day they hold the balance of power in Idaho and Ari zona, and are swiftly peopling Washington, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. The vote of Idaho for Congressman was carried at the late election by a brief order of Geo. Q. Cannon, directing Mormons in that Territory to vote for a certain man. Cannon did not leave his office in*Salt Lake City, but all the Mormons in Idaho voted as a unit. Allow Mormonism to go on unchecked ten years longer and Cannon will, from the same office, dictate the election in all the region between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, ex cept California and Oregon ; that is. he will hold under absolute control, as in Utah, or the balance of power as in Idaho, a region as great in area as all the United States east of the Mississippi river. It is a region of measureless resources ; the seat of a future empire." — Savannah News. A Model Family. Sunbury. Pa., April 6.—While Mrs. Hoover, a widow lady residing about three miles from this place, was at dinner to-day with her family, an altercation arose between two of her children, Lottie, aged 17, and George, aged 14, when the latter left the table, and going into another room took a single barreled siiot-gun, and returning to the room fired at his sister, the shot taking effect on the right side of her neck and tearing it almost completely uw T ay. A neighbor hearing the report of the gun ran over to Hoovers house, where he found Miss Hoover covered with and dying. The boy was arrested and lodged in jail this evening. The reason he gives for committing the crime is that they would not give him enough to eat. Along with the news ofKalloch’s acquittal, in California, of a most brutal murder, comes the announcement that Currie, of Texas, has been murdered at last. Kalloch had better take warning. GEOISCIBA The Rome Courier announces the danger ous illness of a young lady in that city from the effects of swallowing a small piece of cedar a few weeks ago. The piece of wood has found lodgment in the lungs, causing in flammation, from which have resulted two severe hemorrhages. The Courier hopes that her constitution is sufficiently strong to over come the effects of this unfortunate accident. Under the head “ What Timber Has Done.” the Darien Gazette say's : “ Several weeks ago the Gazette stated in rather a boasting manner, and wc felt as much, that the farm ing prospects were exceptionally good, owing solely to the staunch condition of the farmers —like the Publican, wc were thankful lhat we were not as other sections. But time and circumstances have changed the talc, and now we have simmered down to the sad realiza tion of a wonderful change in facts. All along the Oconee, not only in this, but in other counties, the farmers have invested the last cent, mortgaged stock and land, to get timber and buy stock for hauling the same. This stock has consumed every particle of corn and fodder, and in fact all stock food. Many, many, arc now without ten bushels of corn, a stack of fodder, and all the meat has been fed to hands getting timber. Their rafts were carried to Darien, the prices went down, necessity compelled them to sell, and now the result is distressing. The rains have re tarded farming, farmers are being refused credit, as proper security can't be given, and what they are to do is a mystery hard to ..solve, too hard for us at least. It may all be for the best. It will at least enforce econo my, tile essential requisite to farming, and at the close of another year, what little is made will be all ‘velvet.’ We trust that the dark cloud that now hovers over the country has a silver lining and that a better day dawns.” Atlanta Post-Appeal: “ From Mr. Thomas M. McKinnon, a resident of Kirkwood, who had come to town in great haste after Dr. Willis Westmoreland, a Post-Apperl reporter learned the following particulars of a das tardly and brutal assault on an old gentle man named J. T. Fetor, who is a resident of Kirkwood, and a near neighbor of Mr. McKinnon. Mr- McKinnon says that he had his attention first drawn to Ector’s place by T the screams of a negro woman, and hastening to the spot, he found Mr. Kotor lying on his back in an insensible condition from a blow that he had received across the bridge of the nose from some sharp cornered instrument, He also found lhat the deadly blow had been dealt by a negro boy who goes by the name of Squire Moore, and who is a son of the woman who set lip the screaming so loudly. Our informant says that the wound looks as though the deed was done with tiie back of an axe or the end of a plank, having crushed in the nasal bones. As soon as the foul deed was done the negro left for Decatur, but he was watched by McKinno all the way, while his father also proceeded to Decatur and swore out a warrant for his arrest. Moore was taken in custody and lodged in DcKalb county jail to await an investigation. Mr. F. M. Ector, a nephew of the wounded man, and Mr. McKinnon, returned to Kirkwood, accompanied by Dr. Westmoreland, on the P 2 o’clock train, to render medical and sur gical aid to the wounded man. No further particulars of the affair can -be had up to the time we go to press.” The Columbus Enquirer-Sun publishes an account of a diabolical attempt to assassinate Mr. F. A. Bush, of Green Ilill, Stewart coun ty, and a worthy citizen, on the Glh instant, as follows : “ About 2 o’clock in the night someone came to Mr. Bush’s gate and hal looed. A lady, who was a relative and vis iting the house, heard the call, and in a mo ment he was heard to call again. At this the lady called Mrs. Bush, who heard the third call, and awoke her husband. Mr. Bush got up, dressed himself and went to the front door. He then stepped outside on the porti co, and as he did so heard the click of the gun as it was cocked. He turned his head to look around, and as he did so, the assassin, who had entered the yard and couched down underneath the portico, fired at him through the railing. When he made the cowardly shot he turned and fled, going in a northerly di rection. Though the would-be murderer was only about ten feet from him, he did not ac complish his foul design. Fourteen buckshot passed through Mr. Bush’s hat, and three buckshot struck him above the left ear, cut ting through the skin. He was also severely shocked, and has been confined to his bed since the occurrence, though Dr. Austin, his attending physician, does not consider him dangerous. Mr. Bush has not expressed himself as to who the man was that did the shooting, though lie is known to him, as he saw the features by the light from the flash of the gun. lie has stated that it was a white man, and it may be ho is not sufficiently as sured in the identity to give his name. A little time will doubtless develop the whole affair, and it is due. not only to Mr. Bush, but to the community at large, that an inves tigation should be made.” Says the Gwinnett Herald: “ Crimes of high grade are increasing in the country. -Just before Christmas we chronicled two homicides in this county, and now another man lias hee 1 sent into eternity by violence. On last \\ ednesday Klias Puckett and J. 11. Bailey met two negroes, Israel Hunt and Frank Hunt, in the road in the upper part of the county. There was some misunderstand ing between Bailey and Frank Hunt, and they soon engaged in a tight. We arc unable to gather from the testimony adduced at the Coroner’s inquest the cause of the dilliculty, but while they had hold of each other, Puck ett stepped up to part them, when Israel Hunt struck him on the right side of the iiead, be hind and a little above the car, from the effect of which he staggered oil but did not fall. Both negroes then drew pistols and threat ened to shoot the white men. This ended the row, and Bailey and Puckett went to the house of the father of the negroes and inform ed him of what had occurred, and threatened to prosecute them unless the father took them in hand. He replied he could do nothing with them, and Puckett started Ho mo, accom panied by Bailiyv Before he got home he commenced complaining of his head, and was scarcely able to walk home. When he ar rived there his strength failed, and he sunk down to the floor, lie was raised up and laid on the bed and made some incoherent re mark as he was laid down. He never spoke afterwards. lie remained in that condition until Saturday, when he died. Hunt was ar rested the next day after the fatal stroke was given and bound over to the Superior Court in a recognizance of S3OO. He gave the bond and was set at liberty. As soon as Puckett died he was re arrested in Hal! county !y John Smith, and was delivered to Sheriff Pat terson on Sunday, and is now lodged in jail We mentioned, not long since, that Mr. George J. Sency, of New York, had made a band some gift to Emory College, in this State. Wc learn now that the same gentle man has increased his gift to Emory College to and also gives $50,000 to the Wesleyan Female College at Macon, making a t<hal of one hundred thousand dollars that he has donated to education in Georgia. Such a man deserves a monument. 3lciu iiibei'feinuciik fA KCf-KtllA, •Jcjk'Rnom * omity. YJT Z W. HOOD, j Jackson Court of Ordi- Eropoundcrof the last j nary.
