NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 6, 1857. Mormon Celebration of the Fourth at Norwalk. ae Patriotic Oration ef a Mormon Leader—The Saints’ Opinion of the Constitation—The Po Mey of Brigham Young Explaiued by his Diserpies, de. ‘The Norwalk and Westport, Conn., branch of the Mor- men church having invited their brethren from New York end other places to participate with them in a pstriotic ‘eslebration of the Fourth of July at Norwalk, and judging thes they would take that opportunity of making some pub ‘Me exposition of their views regarding the present critica) state of affairs in Utah Terriiory, we despatched a reporter @@ attend the celebration; and it will be seen by the fol. Jewing report of the procee tings that we were not mis- taken. The statements made on this occasion by leading members of the Mormon community are highly interesting, ‘and will throw much light on the complicated condition of things now existing in Salt lake City and the Territory of Ueh. A party of the brethren from this city, inclading the @holr and orchestra, left for Norwalk on the steamboat @ebn Hart on Friday afternoon. On arriving there, our Reporter found that Httle was known of the next day’® @elebration by the citizens of Norwalk, but through the kindness of Mr. Stephenson, of the Norwalk Hotel, the was enabled to make the acquaintance of some of the elders of the branch there who gave him every informa don, and treated him with the greatest courtesy. Had ‘he weather of the previous few days been favorable large delegations from Boston, Philadelphia, New Haven and New York would have been present. As it was, the celebration was confined to » small number from Nor- ‘walk, Westport and New York. ‘The morning’s train fr: m this city Ple number of guests, and cn {ts arrival tho party pro- @veded on board the eloop William Miller, char to ean island in the bay known as Nauvoo Island is ly Smith’s Island; but since last Fourth @f July, on which occasion the Mormons had a celebra- brought 2 consido-a- ton there, it bears the name of Nauvoo Island.

Wo pledge ourselves to uphold and protect the constitution of ovr with our life’s blood against ali sacrilegious banos, Now, what are the views of the Latter Day Sainte as regards the laws of the United Siates? As @ princtpie, we believe this land a lard of freedom specially set apart by God aa the theatre jn which are to be enactei the greatest evevts of these laticr days. We believe, too, that there sere three distinct peoples on this continent at various periots of antiquity :—First came the Jeredites at the time of the toxer of Babel and the confusion of tovgues. Second, came a bravcn of the house of Israel under Muleck, son of Zedukiah, King of Judah, callod Yepbites. This wes about 600 years before the birth of Christ; and these peopie kept the Jewish law. There were willions of the Jeredites on this continent; they nad sbipa— men skilled ip tbe arts and +ciencos—but they became cor- ropt, wicked, desyised the Jaw of God, aud his vengeance overtook them. They fell by intestine commotions. We believe thas the Indiavs of this country are the descend- ants of that race. Tho Zopbites it was who erected those magnidcent architectural monuments in Yucatan and Guate- whose ruins remuin to day to atest the vengeance of the Lord; jor trough tin ibis people became orlensive in hig eight, and by plaguer ava feuds be smove them until the remnant oviy exist in a wild and savage state. Tuen came the Anglo-saxons(!) under Columbus [dere the speaker was somew bat covfuved and indistinct | We be- leve that God let bis spirit work in Columbus; but he led him to this land only to pave the way for those who would not abide the Lord of Heaven. Tne Aoglo Saxons wero inspired by God to establish a government under which Jesus Christ would be recognized. ‘ This is what we believe on this point. We believe that tho Saviour visited this coatineut after his resurrection, Tbat be was three days in South America, durtog which time storms and whirlwinds swept over the land; cities were tumbled down, and tbo scenes enacted in Jerueaiem dur- ing the Crucifixion were repeateo there. He established taere twelve Apo-ties, the Fame a ho did in Judea, and gave to the people of this continent the ame laws he gave the Jews, though, 400 years afterwards, they fell away through gin. Apa this was what the Sa ir meant when he guid to the Pharisee-—‘ Aud other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: and they shall hear my voice, there shail be one fuld and one shophird” This is what we be- lieve. Our fathers, 1 fay, were inspired to raist British oppreetion ‘or the purpose of establishing an asylum for all nations, Our people come from many na tions to dwell here, free from oppressiox ; and who will say that, come wuat may, they will not rally round the stars and striper ? That is the opinion of every latter Day Saint. We believe that the constitution of tae United States is a revelation from the God of Hosta. Bis spirit uided the band that wrote it We houor {t, therefore, ‘and cling to it as somethiog as pure as ever came from the throne of Heaven. We ask nothing more than ‘t can give us.

And they would do the same again vo Inorrow, in spite of all that bas been taiu and cone to them, avd | know it. We are the best friends of this country apd of its laws. And here I prophecy to-day, in the name of Israel's God. that tne Latter Day Saints are the only people who will yet uphold the constitution and shed their blood for it—(fiere & mar- mur of “Amen” sroee from the congregation)—discord ‘and desolation will come upon this land, and no man can stay them. There are men who have already declared the constitution a compact with hell, and the Union a ‘curee; these men we pronounce real traiiors to their country. We wish those who assail ould test our Toyalty and not condemn us uaheard Wi vite all who maligd us to investigete our doctrines.

General Sanders’ Reply to Gen. Henningten. TO THE AMBRICAN PROPLE. ‘An English gentleman, by uame (. F, Henvingsen, who bas been connested with the most disastrous portion of Gen.

I wish to explain to my personal friends and the friends of that great and glorious cause which | bave been en- gaged in for the last twenty .months, why General II. became my enemy. When General H. arrived in Grapada in October last, he brought with him letters of recommendation to Genoral Walker from parties im the United States who felt s deep interest in the final success of the enterprise Besides his letters he brought munitions of war that were much need- ed at that time in our camp At the time of hils arrival in Granada I wag the senior Colonel in General Walker's army, and had every reason to belie 'e th ‘alker roparded me higbly a8 a soldier, Fechng a delicacy in p cama | Gencral H_to a superior command over myself, General Walker sent for me and told mo thatin agrowing service lke ours, it was necessary that irregular appoint- ments thonld be made, and that it was needless for bim to reiterate his high estimation of my sorvices, which the army and press had already proclaimed; stating that he would pot appcint Henningsen over me, without telling me why be done so =6My reply was, I did pot come to Nicaragua for promotion but for ine good of the cause.

He replied that be could never forget one remar’ Ibad made. J arked him what it was, and he said that I bad stated that I did everyteing in my power to thwart Gen. H. at the first fight at San Jorge, Seid I, “ General Walker, did I tell you so?’ He said, « No, but you told General H. so’? I rose from my seat and replied to Gen, Walker that it was false, and be himscliglid not believe it. I loft his room and have not spoken to bim since, nor do I desire to do so, be cause he condemned me without a hearing. And Twill now ark any soldier if Gen.

Parker, head chief of the Tonawandas, and the Hon. F. Follett, late Canal Commissioner, W. G, Bryan and J. H. Martindale, as the friends and counsel of the Indians, have been favorably received by the President and Secre- tary of the Interior,. There appears to be some trouble ‘among the Indians and certain parties residing in the State of New York. Is appears that the Ogden Land Company, as it is called, has demanded of the government the removal of the In- dian from their reservation in the coun y of Genesee, on the ground that such was the duty enjoined on the govern- ment by the treaties under which the land company claim the reservation. None of the Indians, I understand, oveu- pying the Tonawanda reservation ever signed or assented to the treaties, and the question seems to be whether the Indians shall pave the requisite time given to them to test the q .estion of their right to their reservation in thecourts, where it is now pending, and whether certain conditions in the treaty ever have or ever can be so far performed as to render it either the duty or within the power of the government to remove them. The manly and courageous struggle which these Indians have made to defend their rigbts againat the claims of ee eaneny & specu: lators, enabled them to (ortify weir case hore by tho recommen dations of the Governor and Lieutenant Governo: or New York, and some of the avlest ana aidet influential citizens tn the State, They, po doubi, will be grat ied to know that the case of the Indians is likely to receive evry favorabic consideration from the President and Secretary of the Inverior which chey can give consistently with their duty, and that the Ugden Company will oe defeated iu their caggctaticns of the saimneeny renova) of 0 tations. a Nenity, Aad Care purposes of the President snd Seorctary, which the friends of the Indians may be assured will be both wise and mercifu) im this case, -ili prevent the land comeany from obvaining by imyortunity any- thing beyond their strict rights, ; Wasurveron, July 4, 1887.

At low water it will be nearly bigh and dry. The Montreal mercial Advertiser brings rerious cbarges against the master and owners of the |!) fated steamer Movtreal, raying that they know of her dan- gerous condition, wero well aware that sooner ‘or later she would be destroyed by fire, yet mado no pro virion for the safety of her passangers’ in ucu an event, cither by providing life boats or life preservers, or by giv: ing her a careful and respoesible crow. The whole wood work aboot her engiaes was blackesed and charred, and littie Jess inlammale than gonpowder, and she hal re- ee been on fire before the last catastrophe vocarred. jer master was ® man of very intemperate balivs, and is even said to have boen drunk when the fire broke out. This would seem to be the most charitable conclusion on hie behalf, for otherwise his coudact shows the mort cul- lation.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. SBOSBY BARKE®, Sexpay, July 5—6P M. At the close of the stock market on Friday the tendency of prices for some of the railroad secarities was upward, ‘The operations at the second board on that day, for cash, wore at an advance on those of the morning, We attri- bute that partially to the fact that paymont was not to bo made at the date of the sale, or the day efter, but on Mon* day, which was the same as throo days time, It was also 2 opportunity for effect on outside spectators not to be ont, and operators in the street for a rive bid up, princi. pally for the purpose of closing with» high qnotation. Speoulators in fancy raiirosd stocks on the bull side bave acquired a Iiitle confidence, from the fact that the accumu lations of the Sub-Treasury have not beon so large ne Anticipated during the first three days in July. The pay- ments into the Sub-Treasury have been compa ratively large—full as heavy as we looked for | Pres fous to the 4th inst.—while tho disbursemon'sfof the Sub-Treasury Lave been unusually large on foreign m: Account, interest account, and the numerous other ac counts of the general goveroment , wh ch come alymg semi | annually, Theso beary disburroments are about over, | And the pay ments into the Sab Treasury will not only ta. | crease m the reason advances, but the accom iiation mus’ Progress rapidly and steadily, We bave pitted ihe Partial suapension of epecie rbipmente tng oF three weeks in July, ia consequener of the demand a On importers for money to pay cuties The deata of +p cie from the banks and from the channels of coumerce to Pay Into the Sub Treasury for duties te fol ae likely Pro: woe stringency In the money market ae a train for shipment fo Europe. Daring the whole of lact week thore were strong Indications of acontrasion In m ave "e, of & more active demand tor, With a moro Hintted supply Of capital, and there is very litte doubt in ow mind but bat moeh before the usual time tn past yeare we shall re- alize all the evils and difficulties of a dght mosey mark In regerd to the market value of railroad stocks, it does Rot depend so much as heretofore upen the current condi tion of money matters, The public generally have be- come so heartily disgusted with railroad management, with the corruption and rascalitios of railroxd m vnagers, with the dangers and «difficulties attending all railroad io vestments, that they will not touch them again at any price. ‘The public have at last realized tho actual position and condition of railroad stocks, When It is considered that Tailroad stocks are the last of all classes of railroad securi- ties that receive anything from tho net carnings of the company ; tha! every class of bonds and all sorts of indebt- edness must receive at least its interest in full before the stock can receive one farthing; that every accident or disaster in any shape, every loss from every source, every dollar expended in Gnanciering, every dollar of dofalca- tion, all expenditures of an extraordinary character, every- thing comes upon the stockbolders—the stock has to stand all, and not until that is entirely anvibilated can apy Of the bonded securities be affected—partics railroad stecks have herotofore bad but « very vague idea Of the precariousness of the investment, They appear to bave been entirely ignorant of the nature of the securities they so confidently put thetr money i». Of all secarities nthe world in the way of incorporated issues, railroad stocks are beyond all queation the worst and most dan- gerons, The presidents of several of our most prominent railroad gompanies privately admit that railroad stocks generally are quite worthless, and that ultimately the tirst class bonded creditors must operate the roads. The interest due on the State stocks of Mlinois on the Ist of July, will be paid on the 6th (Monday,) at the Ame. rican Exchange Bank. A call was made a short time since upon moet of the Ill!- nois banks by the Bapk Commissioners to make good their securities in the hands of the Auditor, as most of them had depreciated, This, we understand, has been done by al) the banks, the amount necessary to be deposited ranging from two to six per cent on their capital.

The amount of stock and bonda issued up to December 51, 1858, was as follows :— Mirwanre axp Misspsirrt Rarroap. 1856, Dec. 31—Cay Funded debt—10 per cent bi 8 do. do. 8 do. do. 1 do, do. 8 do. do. 8 do. do. branch City of Miteankle loan of bo Debts and bills payable.

Tue interest on these tems for the year was atleast an average of 8 per cont, which gives a total of $323,920. Now let us see how the compnsy paid simply the interest on its funded and floating debt:— Som gram earulegs Sen the year ending Dec. 31, 1856...... enee Operating expenses Interest on funded and floating Sinking fund main line and ++ ¢87,489,231 38 Deficiency Dividend pat Deficiency carried into constructioa ac. 1556 $350, Since the report for 1856 was isaued this company have put out a large amount of bonds bearing eight and ten per cont interert, with farm mortgage bonds attached, as col- lateral. This new issue already amounts to about $1,300 - 000, which swell the entire debt capital of the company to nearly ten million of dollars, The gross earnings of this road for the first six months of the present fiscal year, ending July 1, was about $315,000, The net income was not over $160,000 to pay interest amounting to $200,000 for the six monthg, to say nothing about the sinking fund and dividend. It ts the discovery of such facta as we have presented that has destroyed all confidence in railroad stocks. The public have at last become convinced that railroad com panies have as a general thing boen created and carried on upon a false and fictitious bases, that they have been unproductive from the start, and that the only parties who havo made money out of tho work are thoee interested in contracts for construc- tion. We have shown that in the Milwaukio and Missiseippi Railroad Company, several of the directors wore deeply interested in contracts for consruction, the Profits on which were eetimaved at six hundred thousand dollars, It is well known (no Milwaukie that several tod) viduals ip the board of managoment in the Mil waxkle and Miestesippi Railroad Company, who went to that city a years since from the Kast poor railroad operatives, « now rolling in wealth and living in palatial residences of their own construction, Stockholders in railroads have for years shut their eyes and cars to all reporta of fraud and extravagance. They would not believe any of the tories about mismanagement and corrupitov, and went alorg in blind confidence, investing their money ta compa nies which never carned a quarter partof the divitends Paid, Thousands are now eu(fering for their credulity and thousaads will be ruined. While the managers and ai -oo- tors have been amassing fortunes thousands of familios have been plunged into the very depths of poverty. Ik is a source of great satisfaction to us that we bavedone every thing in our power to avert this calamity to toe outside siockhoider. We have given the public all the acts ta al) cases at the earlies, mome at aod cautioned them agaiost railroad invertments generally, Many have profited by our efforte and advice, but there aro many widows and orphans whose all is locked up in some worthless railroad soourity,and who bave now to turn their aitention to devising ways to carn & livelihood. The directors of the Michigan Southern, tho Milwaukie and Missiseip 1, Lilinots Central, Groat West ern, Wabash and Lake Erie, Cleveland and Toledo, anda do zen others we coud name, bave moch to answer for in be Way ing the trust reposed in them. [i is & question in oar mind if they are not liable to & criminal provwoutioa, ‘That they have been guilty of tho most criminal acts, that they bave perp: trated some of the most stupendous swin los of the age, and literally robbed the community by putting forth what they know at the time to be false re ports and statements, there can be in the min! of honert men po doubt, and we believe that more thaa half the railroad managers of the country could be indiowd by honest Grand Juries. Every day brings to light something 4 during the year, new in the way of railroad fraud,and the only way % avoid further losses is to realize at onve on all raliroed stocks, We cannot bold out any hope for even a partial recovery in most of taore now im tho market, Many of them mart go entirely out of sight, or rather become so covered up with the different classes of bonde! indebted. ness aa to be utterly worthions, except as footballs in Wal ttreet. We cannot advise any one to bold any of the class of depreriated railroad stocks, even at present prices for there is nothing in the futn-e but baakruptey and many yours of insolvency. By realizing even at this Into day a little may be saved from the wreck; by omitting to do- so ‘all may be lost. From the Chicago Democratic Pret we learn that the Chicago anc Joliet Raiiroed Company have commenced the construetion of their direot line between Chicago aud Joliet. This read is to be constructed, by the termes of the con tract, ready for use in one hundred days, and will be the continuation of the %. Louis, Alton aad Chicago ‘road. Govervor Ma‘tison, tha President of tho latter, has tnfuved Into it his we'l known energy, with the view of completing to the ehortest posaible time this independent crsuection for bis road with Chicago. The trains of the st. Louts, Alton and Chiengo road now run from Joliet to Chica, over the Chicago and Rock Island road, and pay moathiy to the latter company from ten to twelve thouraad dollars When the direot road is completed, i) will not oaly out off this amount of the reveuwe of the Chicago and Rock Island Toad, wet will ta m it the local business of JoMet and ite vieinity, the new road being @ saving im distance of fome ceren miles, Th wf! also groaily bereft the se Lovis, Alton Chico road, and must, by {ta grsmly creased bustvens, seoa place that road on @ footing equal to aby road in the West, Important 3 Ctreuiar. ‘The Seoretary of the Tressury Tos tened circular ta- strucsions to the Treasurer of tbe United states, the asais- tant eaaarers of the United States, tne treasurers of tho mint end the branch mints, cbarged by law with the du- ties of sesistant treasurers, and the pubiic depositor.oa, dewignated upder the fifwenth section of the act of the ub of August, 1°46, the wet of of March 8, 1857, eutitied an act to an act entitled “An act to provide for the better or- \vaton of the treasury, and for the collection, safe keeping, transfer, and disbursement of the public revenue,” Jequires them to safely keep ali moweys deposited by aay (i-burring officer or disbursing ageat of the United Baron ‘The department instructs tbem, “whenever suck money sbull be offered for depoxit with you by such officer or agent, or rball be remitied to you fur the cretit of snen of- ficer or agent, you will recei:o it, and plese the amount to the ereoit of such officer or agepi on your books, subject checks of such vilicer or agent, a Lervioalter di- 1s ts albo provided by the act, that dishus afficers or are shall draw for ihe amounts deperited only im favor the persons to whom payment in to be mando in pur- suance of Jaw and instructions, except when pay ments are to be made in sume uncer twenty dollars Sich instruc. tions should be given as may enable ibis provieinn w be mace practicable.
