Show now tuva Urow as tiiev Col ! lloro comes tho Army and Navy Journal Jour-nal aud informs us that when U. S. j Marshal Patrick went to get the Tcrri- j torial convict Kilfoylo from the city j prison though it doesn't give the piisoncr's name the Mormons "had assembled some two hundred strong, ; it is said, to defy tho Marshal." , The Journal must have fallen into the : merciless hands of the New York 1 Herald's Salt Lako correspondent, or 1 it never could have been so hugely 1 misled. This is about equal to the idea entertained in an unsophisticated part of Kentucky, where people imagine the Mormons all live on an island in Salt Liko, approached by a : vast iron bridge with a huge gate at one end guarded by a couple of cannons; can-nons; aud that lirigham Young keeps ; the key of tho gate, opening and shutting shut-ting it only for those whom he pleases to admit. We learned this little'Tact" ' last night, aud give it publicity for the beuolit of said telegraphic correspond- : cut, who can "work it up" into something some-thing intensely sen.-ational for our New York namesake. Our exchanges will note the point: Marshal Patrick testified on oath that theto was no assembly of Mormons 1 whatever to "defy" him on the oeca- , sioa reiened lo. |
