THE 0 SMITH MORMONS. Thoir Proposed Return to Nauvoo. How It Would Bo Received by tho Peoplo of _ That Placo and of Hon- cock County, Character ot Jo Smith and His . Followers. Spectal Correspondence af The Chicago Tribuine. CANTHAGE, TIL, Jan, G, 1874, It ia currontly reported in Nauvoo that Jo Smith, mon of tho founder of tho Mormon Ohurch, will move his printing matorial from Plano, 111, to Neuvoo within n short timo, and thore commonco tho publication of a puper de- votod to thoe Interosts of the. dissonting fuction of tho Mormon Chureh, which rotuses to recog- u{zo Brigham Young's suthority, aud follows the londership of tho son of tho Propbet, This body of diesentors, ecattored around Plano, Iil., und vicinity, has grown, it ia eaid,’ to bo quite respectable in numbers, as well as rospectablo in tho good opinion of their noighbors, who givo thom the reputation of being & TEAGRABLE AND ONDERLY RECT, industrious, nnd possossiig tho ecloments of good citizonship. ‘In this county thoro is also known to be many who sympathize with the Mornons of Jo Bmith's faction,—Mormons who quictly abandoned tho faith and stayed on their farms when tho great body of the faithful crossed tho DMigsissippi on thoir march across the Plius to the Salt Lake Valloy. If Jo Bmith tho later is successful in establishing him- olf in Nouvoo, all of- theso, and many oibiers, will flock to his etundard ; and Nauvoo, oncos oity of nearly 40,000 inhabitants, will REGAIN TIER FORMER GLORY. 1t is nlso said that Smith will rebuild the grand Tomple, which was burned by anti-Mormon bato shortly after the oxodus to'the Weat. 1t I an informed aright, Jo Smith's faction do not favor the doctrine of polygamy, and very matorially differ from the precopts tanght by * Brigham Young and his apostles. Their anciont creed s practically nbaudoned, and Jo 8mith ix lInstituting a reform or reyolt from tho tvranny of Young’s despotist, aud is_cndeavoring to weakon Young's power and hold on tho Mormon people, and by this menns ameliorato the con- dition of men and women sufforing from the dire 'offects_of the doctrino and practico of olygamy. Ho alao s looked up to by his fol- lowers a8 the worthy SUCCESSOR OF W18 FATHER, gnd the man whom- thoy can have as their leader - nnd connselar. - They have ondured hard- ships and trinls go long together, that it scoms bhard for them to reporate sud find homes apart,—among the Goutile strangors. And it now seems thut they have cast their weary eyes back to Nuuvoo, their former home, and the Moces where thoy will assemble and rest in Tence once moro, A Public opinion in Nauvoo would - WELCOME THEM GLADLY, Jo Smith is well known in that city, and grently yospeetad a8 on upright man. Tho citizons ré- 5ml the return of Smith aud his followers as no otriment it polygomy. is shandoned, sud the mass of the fuction have the good qualitics oy their leader. Ono class of citizens would reap & harvest from the snle of lands and city lots, and of course thoy extend open arms, But it id aafo 10 5oy & large number of tho citivons would :gelnumn them from other than mercenary mo- ives. ~How Lhe eitizens of the county would welcome Jo Smith aud hia followers back, I am unablo to state. ' But it is well known that tho lutor closs aro n much botter order of people than those under the old regime. Thore ara many who re- member the Mormons with bitternoss, and would diglike to hava them return,—somo in this city, where tho Prophet mot his violont death ; but probably those do not represent the general sentiment. ‘The feeling scems to be of a passive nature, and would ecem to indicate that tho people of tho county iu genoral do not_care, and do not propoge to troublo themselves about whother Jo Smith and his followers return or not. NAUVOO, thio old liome of Jo Smith and the Mormons, is now o sluggish town of 1,600 inhabitants, If ho proposcd return of the followers of Smith takex pluce, it will becomo city of somo it portance, no doubt, as Smith’s followers cmbruce @ large class of people, Topresenting ull trades und occupations. What magnitudo the city may nttain under such suspices cannot, yet be fore- shadowed. But Nauveo is resily a beautiful lo- . cation, Situated on a bhigh hill, with o gradual slope backward, and commanding & large and extended viow, it certainly posscsses attractions which few, if ahy, other citics on the Mississippi van boust. Nomo years ngo, when the removal of the National Capital was ngitated, o corre- uPnndom of & Westorn journal said that, it the Capital was removed' to "the Mississippl Valley, Nauvoo would lead ali competitors, St. Louis not excopted,—possessiug greater natural at- tractions than' any city on the great river. ‘Whether sto will ever be the National Capital or not, Nauvoo seems destined to you become a Largo city, 0. R. AMUSEMENTS BALVINI IN *OTHELLO.” Hed Salvini opencd his cogagomont with “ Othello,” it would huve been o much greater succees in its pecuniary results; and, wo think, In an artistic way, also. Itis an ndvantage not to be underestimated by an actor appeariug be- fore o, foreign audienco when his mudienco is fawiliar with the play in which lio appears. The pley of *Sameon” is of the Continental charac- forof tragedy, with which an Auglo-American audianco hes littlo sympathy ; and the light com- edy of * Sullivan” (¥ Dayid Garrick™), bosides effording little scopa for tho display. of great dramatic powor, 18 alinoat entirely conver~ sutional, and, therefors, wholly unintereating to those who do unot understand the conver- uation. But a great actor in ** Othollo " speaks tho longuago of passion which all audiences understand, and iu this play Balvini counts upon the interest and sympathy of his audience to start with, The anvouncomont of Salvini in the part of “ Othello” attracted the flrst crowded audionco of tho woeok. Thers was also s manifest interest which was folt af neither of tho previous performanées. Tho pationce with which the people followed those parls of the play which were not rendered attractive by the preeenco of tha contral flzure on the stage, was s falr un ovidence of their intorost as could ‘havo been given, and thero wes nothing but cxpectancy for tho audionce during the fivst thyeo ncts, Aftor that, the actor gave free scope tohis power, aud 1t wag with rocoived grenter enthusiam than Chicago audiences usually dis- ploy.

Aftor un- dorgoing the torture of Iago's insinuations, ho roso gradually io tho full sonee of thodishonor which the troachorous Ancient was putting upon him, and, in o very paroxysm of rage, soizod Iago, hurled Lim "to the ground and almost trampled him under foot before he recovored himsolf. There wns o suddonness, dosporate- noss, rage, and savagery about this onslaught, which seized tho audionce as in the grasp of a strong hand, aud held it, amazed and stupefled, until the_reaction came, which pnased to the yery dopthaof dejection and humiliation. From this timoon, tho interest did not lag. Bal- vinl, having nureed afd saved his strongth, now had all of it at his command to ua at in- torvals all through the systematic _torture through which ho passed till ‘tho tragedy came. His facial oxpression added” grent force to his muscular frame and brawny strongth. Ho showed his teoth in his rage, glared flercely out of his eyes, distorted his face In pain, writhed in bhis agony, Encud tho floor like a caged animnl ; and, though on dangorous ground the while, borbering nl\vnYn ‘upon tuuq ulous, his audience scarcoly folt the sugges- tion. “Ho presorved tho scowe whero Othollo strikes Desdemona in presenco of othors,—an opisode which English and American actors dara not retain, He worked up the savage rovenge into & frightful climax when he secized Desdemona by the hair and dragged ber to her couch, Though the strangling is done behind a curtain, tho sceno liad beon afl too graphically piotured, and the death-gurgle conld almost bo heard. The killiug of lago, when Enilia-had exposed s villilny, was as if a tiger had sprusg upon his proy. Aftor this there was nnother reaction, proparing the wnf', though tho interval waa short, for his own deati- scono, Tho closing speech was delivored with varied emotion, and, at the last, Othello drew his curved sword uuddnnl{, cut his throat, aud foll to the ground in the throes of death, which tho drapniufi of the curtain opportunely cut off from the audienco. ‘Tho lateness of the hourat which the porform- anco closed—nearly midnight—precludes any ox~ tonded mention of the porformance ns o whole.

Tinding fim'at Darnum’s Hotol at liborty and rondy to converse upon the v.njnn suggostod, the following conversation resulted ¢ NEJULTS OF THE GRANGE MOVEMENT. “Mr, Greene, what ‘results do you auticipate from tho Grange movomont 2" Plio tono of your query suggests the inquiry whether your quostion refors distinotively to tho organization known 88 tho Patrons of Husband. 1y or to tho gonoral movoment " 1 yefor Lo the Grange movement in tho gen- oral accoptation of the term.” Mg start right, thou, I find a very geueral misunderstauding in the publio mind as to the different forms of organization ndopted by the farmers oud their comparative infiuence.” The Granges, as originally organized, no moro than the old-fashioned Farmers' Club, wore never intonded for tho discussion of political quos- tiona at all, and, to securo fnll attendanco. such discussions wero rfigldly taboood ot all medtings. "They were stmply dosigned 8 socinl gatheringa, whoro the methods of crop culture, the dairy, and domestio matters woro discussed.- Noither of thom are in any degree run‘muulblu, a8 such, {or the gront political uphoaval now in progress, It is no moro o formers' tuan o mechanics’ movoment, and only takea its name from the Inrgost class engaged in it, It results primarily from tho opgrossive combinations of cap- italists—tho illogitimate and improper ex- erciso of woslth power. Naturally tho farmor, wogregnted and Lilplass 08 ho las buen, unablo to maintain his ground single-handed agnainst the combinativns of capital, has beon its rendy rey, and thoy, o8 o class, have suffered most. }i‘ho growth of the farmers' organizntions has beon steadily incrensing for s sories of yoars, becoming constantly more popular, and especial- 1y so since the agricultural presa hos become so influentinl an olly, The farmers were rapidly dlgcovoriug the advantages of such nssaciation, indepondeut of any political significance. 1t is ensy to seo how, almoab imperceplibly, the polit- ical influences iave crept in av thoso social moct- ings, until it hns now undoubtedly becomo tho lending fonture, Horo was tho opprossed condi- tion under which oach sud all of the farmors, ospecially of the Northweat, were laboring, It was impogsiblo to make both ends moet, lot them pinch and savo 88 thoy might, On tho other hand, they saw railway kings and merchant princes paradod boforo thom, whoso wealth was augmonting by millions yearly. Such things Flm.vu ongendered s deep-scated un- rest which las been mavifested iu various forms. 'The Lobor movement which nominnted Presidentinl candidate for tho last campnign was ono ‘of these. ‘This was murficd into iho Livoral movement with its candidate, oraco Grooloy, ulways in full sympathy with the tolting clagsos. As this feolibg hod gained ground among the people, becoming & subject of gon- oral disousston, and since the monopolists liava constantly treated tho popular demands with an nir of carcless indilforonce and haughty indo- pondence, it lias very naturally rosulted thab when tho farmers mot in their clubs this has baen prineipal topic of conversation. Since it +wae not political in the partisan senso, the mem- bersof all parties snd creeds could woll pledyo themsolves as agatnet & common foo, '[ha party managors, Beolng whoro this must inovitably lend, have vehemently charged thnt tho clubs and Grenges were going into politics, which has gonerally been answored by the farmers in tho &pirit that, if (his is politics, thoy sre willing to be known as politicians, since it is a new andnot unpopular species of the genus,” % 18 THE MOVEMENT POLITICAL ? ¢ But do you consider that tho movoment is ronlly and cesentinlly a political ono ?” # Unquestionably 8o now. The vory denial of pamicuhntwuonu on the part of the clubs, and tho rosulting disoussions, have undoubtedly ox- erted n strong influenco in making it so. It has become a fixed purposo of clubs, Granges, and all sorts of societics, to roform tho abuses com- plained of, Four-1ifths.of il tho sesociaions of ovory charnoter, orgauizelt during ths pauL cightoon months, bave bad that s the primary purpose of the orgavization. Other subjects wll‘l' ‘o secondary until this is finally disposed “The Grangers esy, I Dbelicve, that thay do not politienlly, a8 n Grango, but ibat they do ko individually, Ts not such & course practicable " ¢ By making such nsortions thoy avo simply making themsalves ridiculons. You may have notleod that ono of the resolutions adopted by thio Tlinois Stato Grange, at Bloomington, made fho declnration you spunk of, aud yot they sent aut o dozon purely political resolutions right in the fuce of it, ‘Tho lust Rural World, too, hos an article by Master Allen, declaring positively that the Granges do not, and cannot, disonss po- Titical questions ; and on the sume pago is moro than o lLalf column of political resolutiovs, adopted at o recent county council of the Granges, Such inconsistoncios aro only calou- Iated to bring repronch upon the order. Either thoy are decluring what they know to be false, or it assumes au utter ignorance of the meaning of tho term politieal.” MEETING OF THE NATIONAL GRANOE, T understand thut the National Giange moets here next moaoth. Do you know what subject will como under discussion " “QOh! you know that is secrot. I presume their action will only liave referenco to perfect- ing tho business deinils of $heir organization. Another mb{u_ct suggosted by the JIndiana ZFarmer, on intenso Grange* paper, altogother within_the chermed cirelo, will be as the digposition of their surplus £50,000. As the Rural World suggosts that the choico of permu- neut location for the Nationel oflices muy also Yo determiued hero, the inferonco might bo drawn that the surplus would be expended for buildings somowhere, perhaps in St. Louis." “I havo seen that tho Boston Merchant Grange, which wag susponded by the Grand Maator, had appealed to tho dacision of the Grange. I presumo that it will find a settlement here ¢’ “ Yos, it probably will, aud if Mesars, Thomp- son and’ Abbott are as dotermined in the matsor o8 thoy represent themsolves, it may be a snb- ject of considerable impotance, A, Abbott cloims that the Master’s ruling wounld exclude govoral membors of the Natloual Gradge, and uan"!‘ subordinate Gianges, one of them at St. onis," TIE QUESTION OF HECHEOY, “Thero is ona udvantage in secreoy which I lind not befora thought of. Thoy can hava their family quarrels to thomsolves, and not suno their neighbors aud the outside world wit them.” +Yos, and that is_shout the only advantago I haove over discovered, except that they can dis- pense thelr charity so that the left and may not know what tho right is dolng, in the Sorp- tural fasbion. Inviow of the dificulty expo- rionced in lotting politics alone, this foature of secyeoy in likely to caudo them much ombarrass- ment.” It is cortainly too late to entertain the ides of & Huorot Pohtlcal party, etrictly us such, and the politieal influence of any socrot organ- fzution must boe soriously comprominsoed by the fact of such sccrecy. Again, the fouturo of the Grange, and the ritualistic ceremonios incident to it, ocoupies an immoenso amount of very valu- ablo time, and the mors substantinl business men among_tho farmers, who count fig valuo, soon tire. It i3 ovident, from all the reports we havo seen, that not one-half of the Grangos are paying thelr dues, a sure indication that tho in- torest in them in flagging.” NOT LOSING HEADWAY.

One Man Killed and Another Mortally IWounded, in Grecne Countys From the Carroliton (I11.) Gazette, Jan. 3, On Sunday ovoniug last auother torriblo trag~ edy was enacted at u point on the Illinois Bot- tom, soveral miles below Grand Pass Landing, in this connty, the particulars of which vary, o8 thoy como to us from geveral sources, As near 88 wo can got ot the facts it would nppoar that Sol Sitkwood, & club-foot man, Willlam Henson, and James kshnm, on Christmas, visited tho house of two brothers named Ioppor, who are wood-choppors, where the party ougsged in o drinking and J,'nmbl(ng spreo. The visiting party, it is said, won tho Iloppers’ monoy, pounded them up_rather soverely, and abuse tho wile of oue of tho latter. TFearing further visitations of tho kind, from thrents which were made, tho Hoppers went to Walkerville on Sunday to have tho parties bound over to keop the poace, or alse to procure war- rants for mrest of tho offonders. Hoaring of what the Hoppers had done, Bilkwood and Isham roturnad to their houso on Suuday night, where they ronowed their throats, ond wero about to forco an entranco. The Hoppors came out with guns and fired upon their visitors, which resuit- od in killiug Isham instantly, and Bilkwood rode oft_daugerously wounded in the arm and brouat. The nows of the sad work soon spread,nud the people of tho viciuity organized and started in uearch of tho Hoppers, who it was supposed had fled.
