Show IIOLLISTEa AGAIV. 0. J. Hollister wu beg pardon, for introducing eo unsavoury a nauic to the publii tax-gatherer and occasio;!-al occasio;!-al correspondent, has broken out once more in the old place. We canuot butter describe . his laburs than by quoting from the Omaha ILralJ of Thursday kit. It bays : ILs Occupation as a Colfax carpet -bagger in Salt Lke is to write puffs in that pipei lor his as-ocia-es especially especial-ly lor Governor Mialler, and to detract from all o'her Federal representative-temporarily representative-temporarily airidiii there who fad to see .he j i.-?tiee or the wisdom of act-which act-which are .-tiuli.'U-iy designed to stir up tr. to) and p. is.-ioly emit ets between the G jvei ijineiit and the Mormons. His list effort lias been directed against General De Trobriand, and tu.it he mijdit play his role consistently, consistent-ly, he give- the suwaid stab in the baok by snerk Hg into the Chicago Tribune w th ii,tti.o e reader.-would not have an Oi 01 tuuiiy of seeing the manly and crushing letter i if General Ue Trobriand Trobri-and to Guvernor Shaffer. Uut this is lluliister'a style. Tne Chicago Tribune Tri-bune through its persistent eumi j against the people of Utah, pcnuiL-this pcnuiL-this scribbler's lucubrations to Sad p ace in its co:uuius;, uot for their merit but ior their reckle; calumnies against the Mormons. We will leave Holiister for the present, who has the impudence to use so historic a nom de plume as ''Douglas," by quoting the rest of the Omaha Utrald's article : In the Tribune we find him at pres-eent pres-eent engaged in denouncing Gen. L)e Trobriand, the French officer commanding command-ing U. S. troops in that district. The General's principal offences appear to be that Gov. Shaffer wrote him an insulting in-sulting and unjust letter in regard to the Frovo investigation ; that that officer of-ficer had never "called on the Gover uor;" that '"he had been a frequent guest ot isngham loung, and that "he is fond of good dinners'' high offences of-fences against the codes of "Goof and morality ' which are illustrated by the leading lights of the radical party who now rule in the administration of the Government. 1 he feet undoubtedly is that General De Irobriand, being a Frenchman and a gent eman, has refused to engage in the raid which has been organized aga nit the unoS'endmg people of Utah. Thio is the entire length and breadth of hi-offending, lie was uut sent 10 Utah to persecute that people on .recount .re-count of their religion; fanatici.m and opinions. His business was to dm charge his simple duty a- a soldier, and that he has. done tins to the satis faction of General Augur i proven by ,the fact that he has, tot been di.-placed. Mr. Holiister says he has takeu up (he cudgels for the Mormons. This doubtless means that he has refu-ed, for abundant reasons, to take up the cudgels against them, perceiving doubtless doubt-less that they were sufficiently cudgeled already. We trust the Mormou people will pear ail tlie indignities which are being be-ing heaped upon them without allowing allow-ing am thing like collisions and violence to occur. Such a re-ult would ruin them in the homes to build up which they have so long toiled and sacrificed, and they mu-t avoid it, let their persecutors per-secutors do what they may to incite it. We thank the Herald for its kindly advice. The "Mormon people" have borne and are bearing God knows how mucin ! of ' indignities heaped upon them ; but they have been and are patient, having lull confidence in the ultimate tr.umph of right and justice jus-tice over "carpet-baggers," corrupt "lings" and uu-crupuious partisans. |
