The latter has *‘busi- ness with the Government,” serious charges having been proferred against his adminis- tration of the affairs of the embassy at Poking. Some additional information of interest regarding the intimate relations existing be- tween the Mormon priesthaod and the hos- tilo Indlans, whereby the latter areenabled to procure anms and smmaunition to use sgainst nettlors and soldiers, is given in an “open letter '’ to Becrotary Scnunz, which we print this morning, written by Mr. Jorn Tomtw, of Springfleld, I, formerly con- nocted with the houschold of Brromax Youxo in the capacity of Becretary and In- structor-General of Militia, After AxpEnsox had made so misorable a finsco a8 to Lring contempt upon the Porres investigation, and after public opinfon had foreod tho Democratic majority in Congresa to repudiate the roal purpose of the fraud- hunt, the Committea was turned over to Bex Boren with the privilege of making such use of its existonco sud powers as might be most embarrassing to the present Admin. istration. Ever since then BurLrn has called and examined nll witnesses with a single view to proving that there was a conspiracy between Harzs on the one side and the Southorn Democrats on the other, the terms whereof guaranteed the State Governmont of Louisiaua to NiomoLrs on condition that the Bouthern Democrats in Congress should make no effort to defeat the Eleotoral count. This is the story first given prominence by little Cnawprzn, under the tatolage of Coxxring, and it has boen the one straw to which the Implacable opponents of the Administration bave been eclinging. On Thursday, both branches of the Torrzr Committee—one enjoying the cool broezes of Atlautic City, and the othor threstonod wilh yellow fover at New Orleans—wers engoged in this particular buginess, BurLer vowing that ho would find the '* missing link,” while E. A, Bonax was giving a full history of tho affalr, with tele. grams, letters, and documents. The result hins Leen inflicted upon the country to the extont of soveral columns, and yet Gen. Burees weoms to be no nearor to his parposa than he wns to Richmond at the time Gen. GranT reported him ns *‘bottled up,” Becretary SmenuAN's appearance before tho Committee cuabled Lim to place himself aud President Hares in astrictly honorable position during the session of the Louisiana Returning Board, For himself, Secrotary SuxnMax was able explicitly to deny that he bad ever had any porsonal, private commn. nication with the Roturuing Board, or any member thereof; that he bad everreceived the letter from ANpemsoN which the Iatter claims to bave written Lim, or that he had ever written the letter ANpERsoN claims to have recsived from him; and, finally, that he ever Lad any reason to auspect the credibility of the witnosses snd officials who tstified to intimidation and vio- lence, and who made out the protests neces- sary to a revision of the vote, Tho lotters from BurnsaN to Hayes, and from Haves to Buzeaay in reply, both wntten during the Louisiaua count, revoal on the part of both en sincerity and honesty, Buenaman's letter detailed to Havrs tho methods that Lad beon employed by the Demoorats, which he do- scribad’ea **more like a history of Hell than of civilized and Christian communities,” and he added: ** Wo are in good hope and pirit, not wishing the return in your favor unless it is clear that it ought to be ko, and not wishing to bo cheated out of it, or to be ¢ bulldozed® or iutimidated.” And Mr. Haves replied: ¢ There must be nothing *crooked’ on our part; let DI, TiLoeN Lave the placo Ly violence, Intimidation, and fraud, rather ihan undertake to prevent it by means that will not bear the strictest scrutiny.” 'These were personal and confidential letters that passed between the two men as friends in tbe very heat of the struggle for Touisiana, and they reveal the thooghts and purposes of the writers; and do such ox- pressions warrsut a suspicion of suy con- spiracy or connivance at fraud ¢ Gou. Gasrizep was another of the visiting statesmen who went to Loulsiana aud whom Burrzn sought to bully or betray into somoe admisslon that thero was something % crooked * in the subsequent recoguition of the Nicmorrs Government, Gen. Gix. nxLp went to Louisians, like the other gon- tlemen whom Le met there, at the special request of President Grant. He found on all sides evidence of iatimidation and vio- lence which there was no reason to queation. Neither he nor suy of the Republicans asso- ciated with him ever sought or held private interviews with any member of the Return- ing Board, and Le was able to denouncs E. L. Wxuea's rocent statements as uttorly in- consistent with truth, becauss he (Ganriern) had received so imuch iuformation as to the real condition of things from D. A. Weses, who was afterwards murdered. Iu dealing with Gasnerp, Buries eu- deavored to coruer the wilness with the Lackoeyed theory that, if the State went for Hares, then Pacxanp ought to lave been Governor. But GaprieLp was able to seot this assumption in the proper manner. Ho himself believed that Pacxann bad been Tn the English House of Lords yesterdsy Lord Ban1snuny took occasion to defond the Anglo-Russtan agreoment against tho attacks of the Liberals. His Lordship in general torms declared that tho Government had en- tored into no engngemonts for thé future which wore not already known to the coun. try, and that tho agroement formulated be- tween the Cabinets of London and Bt. Patersburg was of the most important na- ture, and intended to provent n war in the event of the Berlin Congress proving a fail- ure, Tho railroad through the streets of East Ht. Louis yssterdsy, the Ttailroad Company Laving filed a bond which 18 supposed to “protoct” the people; bat, being down, the track will probably never be gotten up. The Mayor, who opposed the railroad so strenuously the other dsy, when tho law was on his mde, yesterday issued o proclamation advising his adhieronts of the impossibility of furthor resistance, and the angry populace watched the work without molesting the workmen. The cambrous procedure of our great courta still lenves the town in the lands of two murderous factions, Dboth wunder the temporary survoillance of 8 company of troops. The disastrous influence of snarchy on the minda of the citizens has bardened them to scenes of horror and bloodshed, and it is considered certain that they will fall to slaughtering one another with renewed ferocity upon the withdrawnl of the militia. Upon counting cost of the groat rain- storm of Thursday night and Friday morning it is found that the earlier roports of damage Ly the flooding of basements were considerably overestimated, although the loss thronghout tho entire city will probably exoeed 50,000, No such amount of rainfall within tho same period of time bas been known in Chicago since the establishment of the Bignal Barvice station hero, and it is doubtful whether the like over accurred before, That the wowers wero uncqual to the unparalleled do. mands upon their carrying cepacity in not to be wondered at, as such a condition of things, being practically un. known in this vicivity, bad pot been pro. vided agamnst. 'The mischief, however, has been of unly a fow Lours' duration, and some compensation will be found in the thorough cleaniug-up which the big storin gave to the sewora and gutters, the strests and alleys of the city. It is probable that su opportunity will soan bo presonted to the belligerent State’s- Rights Democrata of Bouth Carclina to make good their throats of resisting by force any attempt by the Federal UGovernment to secure the transfer to the jurisdiction of the United States Circuit Court of the cases of the internal revenue officers under indict- ment and in jail for the killing of & desper- ate moonshiner. A writ of ladeas corpus jssniog from the United Btates Circnit Court has been .disregarded by the Bhoriff having the ocustody of tho prisoners, snd the issue of authorily aud supremacy bas been raised. The subjoct was consid- ered ot o Oabinet meeting yesterday, and it is understood that vigorous mensures will at once be instituted to compel obedienco to the mandste of the Court. If necessary a posss will bo brought into requisition, sud weans found to copvince the Calbounists that the United Btates Government is a power which a Bouth Carolina Bheriff will have difficulty in successfully defying for any length of time.

Some capitalists put abont capitalists, however, were to get double their ho did with the first two installments, but in precisely the case. of Louisiana confers the aathority for de- Board. in his own behall. Tho dotails of Maj, Bunze's story do not differ in any essentials from ths general understanding of the affair as gathered from previons statemonts. There was no formal compact of any kind, and Mr. Hares was not even represented in tho conforance which took plsce. B3aj. Bunze 1iad gone on to Washington to represent the intereats of the Nicnorvs Government, His main purpose was to secure the withdrawal of the United States troops, and the sigoifi- cant part of his present statement is that Gen. OGraxt, while still President, had declared it as his opinion that the Nicnowta Government was the Govern- ment that shonld stand in Lonisiaus, that Nionors should not be interfered with by United States troops while he was President, and that e (Gnant) would bave withdrawn the troops oxcept that he did not desire in any way to ombarrass his successor Ly pre- dotermining the case. Hero, then, we have direct tostimony that the policy for which Prosidont Havzs has been o rolontlessly abused by the Implacables is the very policy which Gen. Graxt would have followed had ho continued to be President. It aeems thnt n safllolent number of Bouthern Domocratic members had already recaived such instruc. tions from their constituents ns to defeat the effort at unpeding the count, snd the Demo- cratic cancus had resolved that the count should proceed without dilatory objections, before there had boen any conference satis- faotory to Mr, Buske; so that this deter. mination on the part of the Democrata waa not tho result of any assurances from Mr, Haves. At the so-called conference, indeed, Mossrs. QanrizLp, Fostem, Snemaaw, Marrnzws, and other Republicans present, distinetly stated that they did not represent Alr. Hares, aud there woro only gonoral as- surances of a concilistory policy on both sides, Subscquently Mr., Hares told Mar- rnews that it was his intontion, s soon &g insugurated, to order Gen, Avaur to use the troops only whon necessary for Lhe pres- ervation of the public pesce, and this wns communicated to Maj, Buaxz. This had been Grant's intention, It was the policy which Harxs intended to pursue, and there was no jmpropriety in his announncing it. Mr. Frus, a Louisiana Congressman pres- ent at the conferoncs, testifies to much the same purport, but adds, with atill mors em- phasis, that there was no bargsin nor tho semblance of a bargain, and that the Repub. licans present did not demand that the Dem- ocrats shonld cease to filibuster as n condi- tion precedent to the pssurances of a con- ciliatory poliay. Bo Bzy Burixa fs still looking for his * missing link," LABOR LUNAOY. The National-Greeuback-Workingmen-La. bor-Communist Convention in the Stale of Now York adopted the stereotyped form of resolutions upon tho subject of banks, and finances generally, and especlally in favor of fint shinplasters. In all this the New. Yorkers have but copled or followed tho doclarations of the mame pacty in other Biates; but this Convention gave an ad. ditional resolution, which, coming from men who profess to speak as workingmen to workingmen, in the interest of working- 1men, and to promots the intorests of labor, betrays an iguorance amounting to mental blindnoss, and for which thers can be no spology or extenuation, The resolution to which we refer reads as follows : 7. We favor & protective tarlff prohibiting the fmporiation of ail manufactured articlos of which the raw material {4 produced snd luhor to manue factnze the ssme s found in thls country, Al asticlen which we da nat oz ceanot praduca grmane ufacture to be admitted freo, ‘I'he prohibition of trade, tho denial of the right to exchange commodities, aud the es- tablishment of non-iutercourse with the peo- ples of the carth, is Jike the inatitution of brass money, fint-paper mionsy, arolicof a barbariam avd an ignorance as profound as they wore hundroeds of yoarsago, 'Theadop- tion of such o resolution by any body of workmen in any country at this timo speaks fecbly as to the intelligonce and information which are supposed to Lave rusulted from the experience and discussions of tho last century. ‘The resolution contains two propositions: The firat of these embraces nearly every artlclo of commeroe, except pos- ibly tea and coffee, Silk wus at one lime an exclusively foreign production, but it is now manufaotured in this country, and its importation is so strongly prohibited by law thut a large bounty or premium Is offerod for smuggling. Among the articlos that it is proposed to prohibit are silky, cottons, wool- ous, spirits and wines, sugars and molosses, fruits, nuts, iron, steel, und brass goods, paints, oils, glazs and earthonware, leather, aud iu fact nearly everything in use oxeopt tew and coffee, aud the latter wonld bg ad- mitted free. This prohibition wonld close tho Custom-I{ouses, out off all revenus from foreign trads,'and force the country to direct taxation to carry on tho Goveraweat, How far thls propositfon includes auother, ~—to break up the whole Govornment by de- atroying its revonues, and out of the ruins of the revolution to organize the Commnu- nistio system of Government,—we leava cach reader to judge for himself, If this schetne be intonded, as we nssume & mafority of those voting for it halieva it to be, to aid American labor by excluding com. potition in other countries, the measure ia defoctive, becsuse it does not probibit the introduction of the foreign labor itself. Of what avail is it to prohibit the introduction here of forelgn iron and steel, and foreign sitk and woolon goods, if the foroign Isbor that produces these be sllowed to come hers and competa with the laborers now here who caunot find balf smployment? If the pro. ductions of forefgn labor be excluded, where is the gain if tha foreign labor itself is to bo adwmitted to competition ? Go iuto the coal- wmining districts of Pennsylvania and other States, and thore will be found as many min- ers out of work as ars cmployed, and every foreign ship brings large additions to the number. As a practical remedy for the pro- tection of Amerioan miners, would it not ba more rational to prohibit the arrival or employment of sny more forcigu miners thau it would be to prohibit the importation of foreiga coal ? These modern philosophers forgot that theru are other workingmen in this country honestly elected, but he also helievad that the Legislature had never declared him clected in anch manner and form ns to place the office beyond tho right of contest. That According to the count of tho Retnrning Board, Packanp was electod ; aocording to the Legislatare, as finally organized and recognized, NicitoLrs was deolared electod. The wholo question is disposed of by the simple fact that thelaw termining the Gubernatorinl election upon the Legislature and not upon the Returning Maj. Bunxz's testimony in New Orlenns likowise fails to supply the * missing link " which Rorres is looking for {n order to con- nect President ITavzs with a corrupt bargnain besides those who live tn large cities, The agricultural labor of ‘tho United States was never more prosperous than it is to<lay. It has no tariff protection, and needs none, It produces food onough to feed the peopleof tha United States and has a surplus to soll equal It has active, con- tinuous, remunerative eroployment for every It is woll housed, well fed, well paid, and is accumu. lating wealth, increasing its property, ex- tending its productions, and enlarging ils Tho farmers of 1878 live in luxury and refinoment as compared with the farmers of fifly years ago, and lives in princely stylo as com- pared with the manufacturing and mining laborers of to-day, who are supposed to be protected 1n their industry by a tariff which to $500,000,000 s year. man and woman capable of work. comforta and conveniences overy day, is now in most things almost prohibitory. The manufacluring and mining class affect n superiority over the agricultural Inborer. Thoy claim a skill which they deny to all others, yet the condition of the classes— morally, aud financially—aro widely differont. One clnss is alwnys at Being always nat work, the ngri. to in disgipation, is less habitual- Iy addicted to spirituous liquors, and spends personally, work, cultural spend loborer has less time lesa money for them; ho produces enough 1o feed his own family, and produces some- thing boyond, which he sells, and with the proceeda clothes himself and fawily, mnkes home comforiabls, educates his children well, is able to have the nowspapers, to pur chase the current literature, to accumulate some books, to add to the number of his acros under oultivation, increase his live- stock, improve his barns and buildings, and as o general thing enjoy life, surrounded with com{orts, independonce, and prosperity,—fit rewards for hard labor and industry. That is the condition of the onc class. HHow is it with tho other, aa pictured in the labor con- ventions, who &y that one mill. jon of workmen aro unemployed, thongh depondent on their daily wagos? They and their families sre in want,—with- out food or clothing, unable to ront the humblest habitation, andthose not living from hand to wmouth or upon charity are driven to take theroad astramps. Yot in the oyes of the law tho Isbor of theso mon is proteoted from foreign competition, while that of the agricnltural Iaborers is open to the active competition of the whole world. The one class feeds tha whole peoplo of the United States, and has $500,000,000 & yenr surplus prodacts to soll to other countries, whilo tho other is perishing for the want of food in aland of plonty. ‘The one class produces the amount neoded for home consumption, and sells tho surplus for whatovor that surplns will bring in the markets of the world. The other produces for the home market alono, and, this home market not being sufficlent to give employ- ment to half the labor offering to work, thera is only balf tha labor employed that might bs at work in .manufaclur. ing and minfng. The United States have or can got all the raw material that Is noeded for magufactures; thore is an abundance of cheap food and fucl, and of labor. The markots of the world are open for the sale of American goods, but wo cannot produce them, despite our abundance of labor and other ndvantsges. If our manufacturing industry would abandon the lunacy of work- ing only for a ‘‘homo market”; if it would imitate the agricnltaral indnstry and produce to sell abroad as well s to consume; if, instoad of working on short time each day for half the yoar, leaving labor to starve the romainder of tha yoar, it put all its hands at work to manufacture and to prodnce for export, sending the surplus of the milla to be gold, aa the surplua of the farms is sold, to the competing markets of the world, then the prooesds of thatsurplus would come back to enrich and reward the industry that is now 80 largely bankrupt, and many of whoso laborers are reduced to destitution and want. Thon there would be fow idle laborers in the mills, and furnaces, and mines; then work would go on contin. uonsly ; the now uncarned wages wonld then be distributed among those now unen- ployed, and homes, with Lappy and content- ed families, with domestic poace and com- fort, and the aconmulation of savings, wonld all be restored (o a class of people who, as reprosoutad in their conventions, are now driven to desperation by want and distress. All this, however, is to be brought about by other means and policies than by the adop- tion of a prohibition of commerclal ijuter- oconrso with the rest of mankind, ENOLISH VIEWS 0F THE ANGLO-TURKISR TREATY. The Apglo-Turkish ‘L'roaty does not meot with a very enthusinstio recoption at the Lands of the English press. Even such pa. pers a8 tho London Times, which sapport the Government and defond the treaty, do so upon the ground not that it is a desirable thing in itsolf, but that it {s a necessity, aud consequently make the most they can out of a compulsory bargain. The weekly papers, howover, which give political subjeots & cool- er and more thorough Investigation, do not displuy any enthusiasm over BeacoNsyiern's coup, and are inclined to belleve that the Government's new Armenian elspbant is a much larger and more lutractable beast than the Indianone, Of these weekly papors, we single out tho three best.known,—the BSaturday Review, Pall Moll Budget, and Spectator,—whose opinions will be of interest, especlally as they represent different shades of popular sentiment. ‘Tho Saturduy Review is the most favorable In its comments, although its defouss of the treaty cau hardly be called more thau luke. warm. It sees dangers shead in the possi- bility of Russian objectious to the treaty, and regreta that there is already o misunder- standing with France, who can, with plousi- bility, represent the treaty as anothor proot of English selfishness, It looks with some approhenaion upon the conditions England wmay have to carry out, eince in making the troaty the Porte had no intention of making the Hultan a dependent, like sowe of the Indian Princes, hence thera is slways the dangorous risk of a dofensive alliance with a Governmeht which ‘tasy at any moment de. wand the fulfiliment of the obligations in- ourred. England sud Turkey do not form oue State in consequence of the treaty. The Sultan is » party in this caso to a troaty of defeusive alliance, and consequently can call upon England at any time to carry out its termw. Evideotly the Saturduy Keview thinks these calls will be frequent and lvud, ssitesys: *Of all the provisions of the treaty, the most essential will offer the greatest difionlties to its dafenders.” The Pali Mall Budget, which has sll along been a strong supporter of the Governmeut, like the London T%mes, dos pot condemn the treaty, but nccepts it as a hard neccasi- ty. It is, however, less hopeful about the future than the ZV¥nmics, snd sees far enough beyond the flan and hullabalpo that attend- ed Braconsrixup'’s triumyhsat entrance jnto London to be anxious about the proapeot. *mera foolishness,” it deolares. sober man withont miegiviog. anys: ‘There are no limits to the responsibliity we nn- dertake, Henceforth we are bound to the defens of Tarkish territory in Asis 24 much as if It be- are many rlaka, and many temptations to intrigne and iuterference there, ihat exiat nowhers else under the English fag. our responmiblilties ure, #o our righta must be.

The Pashas, demoral- enfeobled by conturies of slavery, cannot yet do it.” Honce it argues that the work must be done by English Governors, aud when it hundred millions of people, sll alions, all dis- good rosult but loyalty,~and all liable to henves, aa it were, of a sea of population, un. other creeds, other languages, other objects their cirenlating notes, A repeal of the act would wipe them all out of existence, whether they issued notes or not. A large number of National Danks have retired thefe notes down to the minimum permitted by law, viz.: 815,000, and these would be taken up if the msct allowed it. But ther regard thelr Na- tional charters as valusblo for genersl banking purposes, such as loaning money, discounting bills, deallng In exchange, recefving and taking eare of deposits, 11 tha banks were deprived of the right to {ssue notes, nine-lenths of them would continue to Jo & geucral bank- fng business. Wocan see no uscful end that would be scrved by repealing the National- Banking act, and think it would be a very un- wise thing to do, and that It would bo a great In- Jury to the business cummunity to repeal it. In regard to the other question,whether Tite Trin- uxnls [n favor of the Government alone lssulng all the cireulating mediom, the answer turne on the point as to the ability of thoe Government to maintain enough paper at par with coln to satisfy the public wants. If it ahall bo found that the Government can easily keep the present fssue of 847 miilions at par, THg TrinuNs would not object to incrensing tbe amount and retiring bank-notes at the same time. It would be a rather risky experiment to sudden’y fssue 824 milliona of additional grecnbacks to take the place of the bank clrculation, and undertake to maintaln tham at tho coin level, Stiil we be- 1lieve the Government can do it by having proper timo for preparation to accumulate therequisito amount of molil and shiver. There i Jittle doubt that the Government coukd safely las ten mililons a munth of new nrernhnks.—x tiring ten milllons of bank-notes per month, to meke room for the legal-tenders, The ellver colnage of three to four millions a month would create metallic basls enougl to ialatain the new greenbacks at par. The right to cireulate notes now enjoyed by the Natlonal Banks is & matterof comparativelylittle valuoto them. The profit on the cireulstion Is smell. Many banks do not desire to fssuc any notes. Most of thewn could make more money by selling their bouds, and banking on the proceeds. But whether note circulation is profitable to them or not, T TRIBUNE does not care & brass farthing. ‘The only consideration with {t is, whether the Government can aafely undertake to maintatn nearly 700 miillons of greenbacks at par with coin. Tur ‘{'ninuxs wants the Governiment to {ssue atl the greenbacks it can redeem on de- mand snd keep oo 4o even keel with gold and silver, but It does not belleve in any frredeem- able “flat " scrip or any nonscnse of that sork 1t wants **honest money.” and as mucn of it 38 the country can use o Its business. ——— To the Fditor of The Tribune.
