Andrew Jknson, Richfield, Sevier countv, Utah, May 27th, ikoi. ATRIP SOUTH. From the Deseret news For the purpose of gathering histori-cal information in the Sevier and Pan-guic- h Stake of Zion.I left Salt Lake City on the 23rd 111st. and traveled by rail 125 miles ever the Rio Grande Western Rail-way to Manti, the present terminus of the Sevier Valley branch of this road. Leaving the main line at Thistle stat-ion, in Spanish Fork conyon, sixtyfive miles from Salt Lake city, the Sevier ranch takes up Thistle creek and foll-ows the s'team to Thistle valley'in which the village ol lndianola is pleasantly sit-uated, about one and a half mile east of the track. From lndianola siation, which is sixteen miles from Th stle, the grade is quite heavv for a distance of nine miles when the summit of a divide sep-arating Thistle valley from Sanpete Val ley is reached. From that point the road winds on a steep downward grade long the side of the foot hills, and then cros ses the Sanpese river near the village of Milburn which is twelve and a half miles from lndianola by rail. Proceeding five miles further along the east bank of the Sanpitcli river.the train stops in the east part of the town of Kairview, and then passes on seven milts over an easygradf to the city ol Mount Pleasant, where the railway company has built a fine station imnied ately south cf where the track cros-e- s thej county road leading into Moroni and Fountain Green Mount Pleasant looks beautiful, cloth-ed in its spring dress of lovely green,and 1 noticed considerable activity around the depot whicn would indicate that this town of Sanpete is taking advantage of its rwilway facilities which she has been wanting so long. Passing through the city on the lower street our train speeds through Muunt Pleasant fields in a southwesterly direc-tion for nearly five miles, when we stop again near a road crossing about one' and a half mile southwest of Spring City That town.on account of its peculiar sit-uation in a cove-lik- valley sepatated; rom the main valley in part by a low-spu-of hills, could uot easly be brought 111 close pioximity to the railway track; hence the distance between the town and th nearest point on the road.wheie a small town will be erected. Alter traveling ten miles further we come to Kphrairn, where a tine depot Duilding is in course of erection on the lower street on the west edge ol town. Froceediug six miles further we arrive in Manti, the Temple city of Sanpete, and our railway journey is ended for the present. Here, also, the railway company have built a hue and commodious depot in the wt-s-t part ot the town. Since :866 I have paid frequeut visits to the towns enumeraied, but this is the first time I have reached them by rail, and for one 1 appreciate this more com-lortab-and speedy mode ol traiisporta tion by rail. 1 never saw Sanpete valley look more lovely than it does this spring When I first visited the settlements there the primitive log houses and small adobe dwellings lay intermixed withcorrals and stacks, w ithout trees or shrubs to give variety to the scenery ,but now the state-ly shade trees arid beautiful orchards al most hide trom view the hue brick and rock buildings with which the cities and towns of Sanpete abound and the stacks and corrals aie almost entirely secteted behind tne gteen foliage. Also the grain and lucern helds and the native mead-ows appear unusually green and lovely this spi.ug. From Manti I proceeded by team to this place, a8 miles, passing through Petty-vill- e, Mayfield, Saline and Aurorn on my jonrney. Tne railway tra k has alreat y been laid three miles beyond Manti, and would have been extended to Gunnison before this time had tbd tracklaying not been delayed on account of a heavy cut through a range of hills northwest of Pettyville. T'lis obstructon has been overcome.and the track lor the next few jays will be laid at the rate of about one mil a day. The grading is nearly com Dieted to Salina, which will probably be l,e terminns of The road, before the end 0fjune. The settlements in the Sevier allev, like the San Pete towns, look altogether diflereut from what they did a few ye irs airo. The oeoole beiue convinced by practical experience on a small sca! that fruit trees of differeut kinds, and all sorts of shade trees, would do well on the Sevier, notwithstanding the frequent heavy winds which were sweeping the valley, went to work years ago and pla-nted extensive o:chards and also linrd their streets with choice shade trees. These have now grown to consider able size, and thus changed the appear-ance of the settlements. Richfield in particular appears like a forest in the wilderness as the traveler approaches from the north. Straight rows of beauti lul poplars line nearly every street, and fine fruit bearing orchards surround a lerge number ol the dwellings. A very interesting and spirited Stake quarterly couleience closed here last Monday, Aposle Lyman and and other vis tors from a distance being pres ut. Most of the meetings were held under a boweiy built near the"old ball,'' which it is hoped will soon have served its purpose as a meeting house, as tha Sevier Stake are now busily engaged in erecting one of the finest and most com-modious Siake houses in the mountains, The walls are above the window, and will be finished before long; iv is doubt- - permit, and when be applied for admis-so-at the pen Tuesday, the Warden re-fused to admit him, and that he went 10 Salt Lake and hunted up Marshal Paisous told him that he would be pleas-ed to accomodate him, but his orders were strict on such matters.and he could not give him a permit until he had com-municated with the clerk at Provo to see that it was all right, but if he would call agaiu the next d.iv he thought the mat-ter could be arranged. A GOOD JOKE. The Wa.alch Wave tells a good story on John M.Murdock who was sentenced to the pen for unlawful cohabitation a few weeks ago: It says: "It seems at the time he was sentenced at Provo lie rMMttiri 10 be allowed to return to jHeber before commencing his' term of imprisonment. This privilege was granted him, and he was allowed to go on his own recognizance on his promise to be at the pen the following Tuesday. I he clerk of the district court gave him a paper directed to the Mar-th-or warden, stating that he had been sentenced to thirty days imprisonment, whichsentence was to commence Tucs day the 23rd. John M left Heber Tues day and wishing to see Marshal Parsons," j went to Salt La ke lor that purpose, and i.ot being able to see him that evening stayed in Salt Lake until Wednesday u orning.

The btedeis of bugaboos may note this down and rly upon it implicitly; As to the Mormons managing a state in such a w;av as to oppress anybody, to depieciate property values or drive any-body out, the thing; is so ridiculous as to c.iriy with it its own refuta 1 ;n. Nobodv has ever suggested that the Mormons were downright tools, and nobody ever will hint that thev ate not quite so keen as to their owu material interests as other mortals. They have certain y done their lull share in the wolk of induci ig immigration and attracting capital, as the records of movements in these direc-tions during all late years will verify. They assuiedly own a pretll healthy proportions ol the property ol the terri-toiy.an- d thev love their possessions fully as much as the loves his; they also knows that they, more than others, would suffer fro u anv deprecia-tion of values or any other disaster which might overtake the territory and check the ptogiessive march of the community. IJut all this tear of statehood is sheer rot, the invention of those who will not live in oeace with their fellows, because, first, their natures aie malform-ed, and then they imagine their are more power and gieater personal gain in a continuance ol the strife and contention whicli the people have outgrown and are Hying to forget" AS TU STATEHOOD Fr m the HtrslJ. Certain ol tlie more rapid ones in this c .immunity profess to tin i in the if the people on national party lines a movement in the direction of statehood for Utah. Indeed these gentlemen pretend that the i..trod jctioii ul national politics heie has for its sole object the making of a sia;e out ol this territory, and proceeding along this assumption, they argue that a Mormon state will follow, with a long train ol evils, among them the depressi-on ol property values.tlie oppression and driving out of Gentiles, and so on. We uavelit heard that a wholesome nussa-cr-e of those who do not worship in the tabernacle is coiiteniplated.but the"scatt writers will probably woik up to tha: m time and lay hare all the details of the cunningly laid plot. We wonder how men pretending to in telhtfence can talk such stuff in this age and this community It is also ridi-culous mat one can.iot undeistand how sane beings can seriously tal.. about s coming as a result of a slate gov-ernment, and talk it right here where ot every hundred ninety nine men out are so lamiliar with all the la;is, so well acq lamted with the people, that they regard the scarce chatter as the veriest '"we don't believe theie are a hundred men in this community of nearly a quar-ter of a million souls who rellect five minutes a mouth oil the probability ol statehood carry in the near fuluie. We don't believe theie aie ten men who fe. 1 any sort ol decree ol iuteiest in the mas-ter, and we are quite cettain that the Moiuions; the leaOers as Weil as the mas-ses, are almost absolutely nidilerent in the case, i'her. was a tim- - when the Moimous weie keen to. statehood. '1 hey were so eager f r it that they would have gone to great lengtus tu ob-tain it. We all know so well when and why that was thai it is no. woith while to refer to it heie. But tne tim; has past. The statehood fever long since ran its Couise. and left thse atlicleU by it pretty well cuicd. We think that it will be conceded that the JeraM is reas 11 bly ell acquainted with the M r moil people and is la. liy lanuhar w.m their views regarding statehood. Our best information and oui knowledge aie thatol all the people rifle Hie iMoiinoim aie the least interested in statehood If a movement were stared tomorrow havii g foi I sol jtct the c ,ui e neut ol a slate government the Aioiinons woulu take so little part m it that thi-- Would be Kcolded for their ind.fleience. The explanation is easv. Wnen the Mormons warned statehood they were pursued and piosecu ed as 110 other people in America were ever pursued and prose-cuted- They were hu. ted and herded into prison, weie spend. ng thousands of dollais monthly lot then defense and 111 payment of tines; in fact they weie mi the road to industrial and social paraly sis, and weie driven to desperation.They saw in a stale government, of which they would iiatuiahy be in cunliol.ieliel trom the awful suflering they were enduring and lor the sake ol that lehcl they would gladly haveacccpled and borne the ad-ditional financial burden which would have followed statehood. All this nas been changed. The things which made tne Mormons an opresstd people and brought against them the strong arm ol the nation have passed away, never to return. Nothing could restore the con-ditions which existed here a few yeais ago when the Mormon people were so keen lor the admission of this territory to the union as a sovereign slate, and the establishment of local self govern-ment. Polygamy has ceased and there s no more likelihood of its restoratio n lii.in tticre is of this territory being gen tly detached trom the earth and trans-ported to the moon It is simply idle to talk about further assaults by the government upon the Mormon, for the leasou that the Mormons could not, if thev would, and would not if they could, give occasion for any such attack as has been witnessed in the past dozen years vVith the cessation of that w hich made the Mormons an object of general assail there has come a cessation of the assault, and to day the Mormons stand beloie the country l.ke other people, citizens of the republx claiming and receiving the same rights and recognition that other citizens recieve; but thete has also come to the Mormons, with this let-u- p of the popular antagonism, a knowledge that while statehood is desirable, it would be attended by an expense that would make it a high priced luxury which can be got-ten along without. There has come the knowledge that the gieater poition of the cost of the local government is paid from the federal treasury. So long as the. administration is tolerable, the peo- - pie feel that thev can get along better in a territorial condition than as a state which would result in doubling the taxes. In saying this much we are not talking at random or with the view to deceive. truths which a We are simply staling knowledge cf the people of this and,their views 0.1 this question lives us a right to state. We don t be-lieve that the Mormon people will ever ask for statehood. We do believe that if the were to ask it the ,. would be indifferent, taking little if any part in the proceedings. We doubt that if today all the lac s being be-fore knowledge of them, including a what statehood would mean m tl e ay of increased taxation. the pioposition to admit this territory o the un.or, vvere left to the popular vo'.e. the percentage ! would be as ( Mormon votes, in favor it larire as of the nou Mormons.

Venice and Tuscany were visited this morning by repeated shocks. The worst shocks occurred about i e'clock in the morning. Shocks were also felt in Ven-ice and Milan.

At Marengo three persons were killed and at liadaia and Caivano seventeen were badly injured bv falling houses and chimneys.
