MORMONISM. The New Schism in the Mor- mon Church. How Elders of Israel Denounce Apos- tates from the Faith. ORSON PRATT ON DEVILS AND DELUSIONS Brigham Young’s Infallibility and Allusion to the Possibility of His Assassina- tion—The Devil and Spiritualism at the Bottom of It—The Ortho- dox Mormon Church the Only Way to Heaven. Saut Lake Orry, Uran Terairory, } Dec. 24, At first the ‘ruling priesthood,” as the Mormon @uthorities are called, affected to ignore the oxist- ence of any new schism inthe Church. If in con- Versing with the elders you happened accidentally ‘to touch upon the subject you were sure to tread ‘upon their spiritual corns. But now some of them are not quite 80 sensitive. The interest manifestea at thé public inauguration of the new movement ‘Was 80 great that’ these new revelations have now ‘become the subject of general remark. Some people have come in from the country to find out what the matter is, and arrangements are being made for ‘Meetings in other towns next week. The friends of the new movement say that “inspirational people’? like the Mormons are liable to be attracted by a system which, claiming the sanction of Joseph Smith, promises to give great liberality of thought and action, to purity the Church and to reveal all the wonders of the heavens and the earth. Prompt excommunication was the policy pur- sued toward the few ‘apostate’ who in these present “latter days’ had dared to ques- tion Brigham Young's infallibility and to opealy Oppose his assumption of supreme authority over the spiritual and temporal affairs of the ‘Saints of God.” “Doubt Brigham Young's infallibility,” the aposties said; ‘‘as well doubt the infaliibility of the Almighty.” Complete accordance with the wishes of the authorities and perfect unanimity among the members of “councils” and of “quorums’ has been held to be almost as essential to salvation as the practice of polygamy, the receiving of thesacrament orcompliance with any other part of the Mormon creed. “Cut him off,” said Brigham Young when Kelsey voted against Godbe and Harrison’s expul- sion. Some of the most substantial men of Utah have been already made the victims of this ecclesiastical execution. When their heads are spiritually severed their souls are solemnly assigned to the “bu/fetings of Satan,” and the body of the cause they have espoused is handed over to the elders of Israel for dissection. The “dead march’ is the imaginary melancholy dirge that one DOW hears in this city of the saints, and it is pitiful to see in those walking in the way of the new-fan- gied faith so many culprits blindly marching on to their spiritual death. If all are to be cast off and buffeted there will be plenty of work this winter for both the executioner and Satan. According to the old saying about the ill wind this breeze in Mormondom may blow the rest of us some good by keeping him so busy buffeting those apos- tate saints that Lucifer will have but little leisure to devote to ordinary sinners. If this cutting off con- tinues he will soon have secured a great many of the saints; and if he should get tired of buf- feting or turn magnanimous and merciful and come to @ malicious understanding with them (which would be just like him), unless Brigham Young is smarter than the Devil, who knows what might become of Brignam? Even with the small minority thas be (the Devil) has so far, it would ap pear that he may have already come to such an un derstanding. That 1a to say, if the strain put forth by he who plays on the temporal organ of the Mormon system (the Deseret Evening News) should ba followed by the march of events, it is possible that the present prophet of the Church may soon share a martyrdom similar to that of Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum. The keynote of a long leading article is the ‘‘movement” which took place a quarter of a oentury ago at Nauvoo, when the Prophet Joseph was, like Brigham now, the spiritual and temporal leader of his people, and a few men who had made great professions of friendship “entered into a secret combitiation to destroy him.” A parallel is drawa between the movement of twenty-five years ago and the movement of to-day, to illustrate the way Satan operates, and to show that he is still the same “old devil.” Tae Nauvoo E£r- positor finds ita counterpart in the Utah Magazine; and the “preamble and resolutions’ of that period, exposing the ‘crimes practised by tne leaders” and calling for reformation in the Ohurch, form a striking resemblance to the recent ‘Manifesto,’ Twenty days alter the issue of the former “pream- ble"’ or “manifesto,” the article goes on to say, ‘the Prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum lay weltering in their Wiooa in Carthage jail. The machinations of these apostates had brought them into the toils of their enemtes; through their agency thelr deaths had been compassed. Within three short weeks after the pubiication of thelr manifesto their garments were dripping with the blood of inne- cence, and this, too, atter all their pretensions of meekness and humility, and the love of God and friendship for the saints, and their desire to reform the Church and to establish the pure principles of the Gospel and to eschew the use of carnal ‘weapons.’”’ Then comes the appiication:—‘‘In con- sidering our circumstances to-day,” the article con- cludes. “there ts one especial cause for thanksgtv- tng—it is more than twenty miles to Carthage, and mobs cannot collect and ravish and destroy at a Gay's nouce. Twenty-tive years have not produced any change in the hatred and murderous spirit of Satan, but they have produced many favorable changes in the condition of the people of God.” Elder Cannon is tae “b' in” of the Deseret Neve, and if this bombsheil which he has fired ex- plodes with effect, solicitude for the safety of the Prophes might tend to the retention of his hold apon the people. For “the shedding of the inno- cent blood of the saints of God” has been the san- guinary and revengful refrain of almost every Mor- mon sermon preacned since the saints were “per- secuted from Nauvoo to these valleys of the moun- tains.” I have not heard a single sermon that was bot Well supplied with both “blood” and ‘“persecu- tion.” The popular prejudice against modern Spiritual- ism 1g used with effect as an jament to prove that the ‘Son of the Morning,” as the Mormons are so much inclined to call the Devil, made the recent revelations to Goabe ahd Harrison. Elder Wilford Woodruff, lately, hinting at the pane trouble, showed how the. spirit of evil had mn abroad among the children of men since the rebellion in heaven down to the present period. And this was the burdea of Elder Orson Pratt's Sunday afternoon’s discourse in the Tabernacle. ORSON PRATI’S DISCOURSE. About the time of the creation of this world, sald Elder Pratt, there wasa general council held in heaven, and on the question ag to who should go forth to redeem mankind there was a difference of opinion between the Son of the Morning and the Son of God. The Son of God prevailed; Satan and one-third of the heavenly hosts were cast down on this creation, while the other two-thirds were given the privilege of coming to this earth vo prepare for s higher state of bemg. There were now, be sald, probably about 1,200,000,000 human beings in the world, and the fallen angels who were cast down to bother us numbered probably 100 or 150 to every \ndividual now on earth. According to this the odds agalust us are cer- tainly tremendous. Taking Orson’s lowest estimate we would have hoverm, ut.us at this moment 120,000,000, 000 devils, and taking his higiest estimate the number; is augmented to 180,000,000,000. What An army of dusky servants his Satanic Majesty has under bis command when all these are marshalled ! No wonder there 1s so much wickedness in the ‘world, when every mau, woman and child 1s enti- tled to 100 or 150 devils, and the whole human race to 120,000,000, 000 or 180 000,000,000. What hope coud there ever be for that poor unfortunate sinner Against whom Satan might chance to concenirate his torces? But, said Orson, some of those devils can be per- fot gentlemen and appear like angels. In tne aays Ol Moses they worked through the principal men of Egypt—the priests, magicians and astrologers—to frustrate and destroy the influence of uilracies, signs and wonders that were being made manifest by Moses among the people of (od for their re- demption;: as, for instance, when Moses cast down his staffand It becaine a serpent, the magicians cast duwa ‘their stalls, Walch a8, became scrpents, lero was a NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 1870. manifestation of the same power, but Moses’ serpent swallowed up the others; and none but those who were near to God could discern the difference be- tween the two powers. Fifty we ‘all Christen- dom believed that all that God ever did or ever would reveal to the human family was contained in the Old and the New Tesament, Such was tt con- dition of the world forty years ago, before this Church was organized, when Joseph Smith, then a lad of Miteen years, proclaimed that he bad hed a supernatural Vision; that two personages clothed in white appeared to niin, and, the one pointing to the other, said, ‘This is my beloved Son; hear ye him." Four years afterwards an angel, whose face shone luke @ vivid fash of lightning, ap hig and revealed certain realities—namely, that the ancient habitants of this land were a branch of the house of \srael, that they had kept sacred and holy re- cords, that those recoras had been kept by prophets and lospired men, that they were deporited by one of thelr last prophets some fourteen centuries ago, after the nation had falien into wickedu on that ¢ haa come when they shouid be brought forth oy the wift and power of God, Alter having received several visitntions from such glorious personages Joseph was permit ted to take those plates of gold—records that had been made ¢0u years before Christ—and the Urim and ‘hum mim, the instruments used oy the ancient seers, Were also obtained, by the aid of which he transiaved the records into our in the year 1830. By them it was ascertained that the ancient inbabitante of the earth had been baptized in a cer- tain way by those Lggety Heetoons from God, and ‘a8 Joseph desired to be baptized in the same way John the Baptist aj red to him, baptized him, ordained him with the same priesthood held by Jon himself, and gave hun the promise that that priest- hood shoutd not be taken from the earth while the carta should stand. Afterwards Peter, James and John came and bestowed a higher priesthood than John’s, namely, the order of Toey did as z not Cong . us came personally and oj Church was established, individuals received the Spirit of prophecy, the of Wl power to heal the sick, to cast out devils, to bi up the kingdom Of God and establish righteousness, ‘ihen there was & howl from the pulpit and the from one end Persecution followed, the prophet and patriarch were murdered, the saints driven from city to city and their property confiscated. They were perse- cuted, not for polygamy—for God bad not then re- vealed it—but simply for beileving in the same prin- ciples as the ancient prophets and aposues. When the Devil founa that they could not be put down v: Persecution he took another turn and sald, “I will show them that the world can hawe revelation enough.” He commenced on two females, the Misses Fox, and has conunued to the present day, Until there are now several million believers in we | United States alone. The whole Christian word apparently w now willing to believe in new revelation. Those people have forgotten how tuey Se the Later Day Saints because they be- lieved in new revelation. They are not willing to believe in revelation given through the medium of prophets, but are wililng to believe if the medium is @ man who wil He and steal and biaspheme the name of Christ. The Devil has several names for these pyar inal manifestations to make peuple swal- low it down, as doctors sweeten up nauseous medi- cines for patients. ‘The Devil has so sweetened them up that he has now nearly all manifestations under the name of science, and devilism is caliod biology, electro-magnetm or something of that kind. Mauy People im the present day have become scientific, and the Devil thinks if he can only invent a reai nu beautiful name, with some resemblance to @ sci tile name, a great many of those persons will swal- low it down wna think i¢ 13 all right, Elder Pratt then related a conversation he had in New York at about the time of the breaking out of the war with Judge Edmonds, who told bim about wonderfut manifestations of rapping, writing, ring- ing of bells, aifferent oraers of angels in aiferent Spheres, who required no priesthood, authority, ordinances, baptism or organization, and, according to Judge Edmonds, Jesus and His aposties lived tn a semi-barbarous age, but the present was superior ‘and its dispensations threw those of the other into the shade, When Kider Pratt heard this he said be saw that as the Devil had manifesved bis power among the ancient Egyptians bevause they had per- secuted the people of God and shed innocent biood, and the Lord had suffered them to be deceived by strong delusion, even so He had suffered it to come wholesale over our whole nation, because we had persecuted Uoa’s people, shed the blood of His Brevtete and driven the saints to perish among @ Rocky Mountains. Apostates from the Mormon Church, he said, were the greatest mediams in Spiritualism, which has no order, church or priesthood. He had had conversations recently with Harrison and Godbe, who said they had interviews with Heber C, Kimball, Joseph Smith, Peter, James and Joho, Solomon and Jesus, py hear- we voices and seeing @ lithe light when Jesus cam but never seeing any persons. Kimball them many things which were contrar, laid down in the of Doctrine and Covenants. Solomon had come to them and he was rather jainst the idea recorded in the Book of Mormon about his concubines, sald he never had any concu- bines, but that ali lis women, so far as he uader- stood the subject, were wives. This, said Elder Pratt, not only repudiates the Book of Mormon, but the Scriptures algo; for in the latter we are told tnat he had 700 wives and 300 con- cubines, The Book of Mormon does not number the concubines and wives he bad, but the record con- talued there seemed to touch the feelings o! the old gentleman, and ne seemed to desire to get out of it; and to explain the mavter he said the things con- tained in the ook of Mormon and the Scriptures were not to be received just as they were spoken, and that he felt himseif justified im contradicting that saying of Jacob, in the Book of Mormon. “I sald vo them,” continued Elder Pratt, ‘1 do not believe a word you say. 1 believe you have had the manifestations just as 7 say, butI do not believe that Peter, James and John, Solomon, Joseph Smith, Hever 0. Kimball or Jesus has been to you. It is the Devil, just as he has manifested himself in the world.’ “0,” said they, “here is the difference between us and they. We belteve in the priesthood; we believe in plurality of wives; we believe in the order of the Church,” and soon. Said J, “Don’t you know that the Devil would be very foolish if, When he wished to ieaa astray men in this Church who had been taught for years the principles you believe in, he would under- take to tell them there was no truth in all things. The Devil can adapt himself to the belief of any per- son. If you believed in plurality he would make you beteve it was all right. If he could get you to awallow down one or two great lies that would effect your destruction, and which you would preach and so destroy many others, he would not mind how many truths you might believe. He would be willing that you should believe @ great many things abso- lutely true if he could only deceive Pee and lead you astray and get you to reject some of the fundamen- ta! principles of your salvation and the salvation of the peopie.” ‘But, oh!” said they, “how happy we Teel! ‘e don’t feel any animosity to any one; no anger in our bosoms; we love the President and his council; we love the Twelve and the whole Church.” “Now,” aaid I, “supposing for argument’s sake that you really believed chese manifestations were from God, and the personages calling themselves Peter, James, John, Joseph, Jesus and Heber ©. Kimball Were not those personages st all, so long as your faith was fixed that they were what they repre- sented themselves to , What would be beg feelings about it? You would die for it just as the pagans would die for their idol worship, just as thousands have done among the false sects of Christendom in ages past. They were sincere, they had joy in their works, but they died, were hewn down and cast into the fire.” And go these men (Godbe and Har- rigon) have joy in their works. They are aa happy as happy can be, apparentiy, because they believe in those foolish, simple, vain spirits that have taken advantage of them to lead them astray. Said 1, “One reason that I don’t believe any of your mani- festations is that your manifesto that you have pub- lished and sent forth among the people contains things go absolutely tn opposition to the Book of Doctrine and Covenants that 1 know no (sae angel or spirit ever revealed them to you,” In order to get round this they said that the spirits had mani- jested that the Book of Doctrine and Covenants was not to be relied upon in the fullest sense in our pe need state of light and Knowledge; that the reve- ations send commandments were given in our darkness, but that God had greater light to give us now. I referred to tue Book of Doctrive and Covenants in opposition to their manifesto, to show how the Lord and His Priesthood were to govern in temporal as well as a things. “But,” said I, “your spirits say that they must only teach in spiritual things, and have no business to assume control in temporal conceras, but to let every man follow the vent of hisown mind. This”, said I, “provesto me that your spirits never came from God.’ | was very gentle with them; did not express myself harshly, bat ina plain aad pointed manner. I inquired of brother Brigham as I came on tothe stand to-day on wi subject I should speak, and he said:— “Every spirit that confesses that Jesus is the Christ 3s of God, and every spirit that does not confeas this 1s not of God.’” ‘The nature of these spirits in their manifestations is to jessen the power and authority of the Great Redeemer as our God and the Lord of the creation. You go among the Spiritualists abroad and you will scarcely tind one individual who will acknowledge the power and glory and greatncass of our Redeemer. So It is with those who manifest themselves here, As I tod them—‘You are so infatuated, so lead astray by these faise manifestations, and you he- Heve them so firmly, that I see no possible hope for you ‘anu Perhaps, at some future time the revela- tions that you will get will be so absurd as to stagger your own faith, and then you may go into tofidelity.”’ Just ag other mediums who, after re- ceiving manifestations for @ year or so, finaliy turn to infidehty and say there is no truth in anything. ‘These ple BaW nO persons and saw No light oniy when Jesus came; but how alfferent was it in the case of the revelations to Joseph Smith, when he saw their Hedoats and their giory, instead of this covering themselves up in the dark to deceive. I know of my own certain knowiedge that Joseph sald before he died tue world would ve overrun by manifestations from behind tae vell; “and,” said he, “unless you haye the keys to’ enable you to distinguish between the supernatural beings that come to you, you will be deceived, and this whole Church will be deceived; but these keys, tokens and signs are given for the express purpose that you may know of a surety when an angel or personage comes to you hoiding authority. in the eternal world; for if, after you have received these signs and vkens, you will ask them for them they wul give them to you, and by these you may know that they are sent of God.” “Now,” said I to Messrs. Harrison and Godbe, ‘did you try those personages in that way ?? “No,” they said, “we did not try them in that way.” Satd l, “You have failed, then, in using those things whica God has given to His people In order to prevent them being led astray and deceived. The whole spirit world in tue lower orders ts full of deception, and an- lows you did have something to detect the false you are liable to be destroyed.” 1 do not know 4 I need say Sayshing further about these lwo powers only that they will go to their aces; and unless these men repent tle sane be- iz that hes power ever them here to (his lesh will hold them in capttelty inthe next world; unless ‘thoy repent tho same being that gives them reveta- tion here will hold the mastery over them there, and wii control them; aud if they do nos find @ dictat- ing and controling power in the priesthood they will find it among those beings to whom they havo Yielded themselves subjects to obey; aud 40 will every other person who yields to false induences; they wil be overcome, and Satan will dcsiroy them unless they repent. Such was tho tonor of Elder Orson Pratt's dts- Course about the schiam. Godbe and Harrison ad- mit that they have been under spiritual induences 8nd have received spiritual communications, bat they deny that their system has anything todo with What 1s kuown a8 tabie-tipping or tapleeoplug Spirttualam. Thoy say it is the voioe of God speak- ing in the way in which He is pleased to communi- cate with mortal men. AN INTELLIGENCE NEW JERSEY, Jersey City.

Wost Hampton. ‘There is a certain mystery hanging about the con- duct and disappearance of the Rev. Mr. Pearce, a Methodist clergyman of this place. On Tuesday of last week, in seeming good health, he left his home for Moriches, and, after purchasing a large trunk at that place, borrowed a horse and buggy of a friend for the purpose of returning home, which he did. Wednesday he sent his wife to Moriches with the horse, promising to come after her in the morning. Thursday morning, he not having arrived, his wife feeling worrled, started towards home on foot, expecting to meet him; but she did not, and walked the entire distance (eight miles) alone. On arriving home she found everything in great disorder and contusion, trunks and drawers emptied about the room and all their valuables missing. During the day a messenger arrived from Riverhead, staung ir. Pearce wished him to say to bis wife that he had received a telegram from Boston that his father was dead and that he was on his way thither, that she must not feel alarmed and that he would return soon. On maaaiy St ‘was ascer- tained that no such message had mn received at the telegraph oMces in Riverhead for him, and also that Mr. Pearce had left on the Thuraday morning train for New York. expressing his tranks to Bos- ton.

With this clue the detectives went after “The Woman in Black.” She was arrested and admitted all that was charged against her.

The property recovered the first six months, while Captain Hartt was in com- mand, is $2,453, the last six months, during Captain Todd’s term, $9,421—increase last six months over the former, $6,968. Considering that the command copsists of not more than sixteen men on patrol duty the statistics for the last half year ts a good showing.

The injured man was removed to Belle- yue Hospital, where a certificate from the house surgeon states he is suffering from a wound over the lower part of the spinal column, but does not consider his life in any immediate dauge r. On the night of the 29th of October the clothing store of Simon Morris, No, 160 Weat Broadway, was entered by burglars by means of a rear window, and $150 worth of gre | stolen.

He stated that he did not commit the burgisry, but ouly procured the implements to obtain entrance for two others, irom a “fence” kept by one Cluttenhauf, and ob- tamed a portion of the plunder.

A certificate from the at- tending physician states the wound is three-eighths of an inch io length and from two to two and a half inches deep. Not content with thus tel hea ing Basgen, Fletcher thought to wreak out his ven. geance on a female, and, drawing the knife from the side of the wounded man, plunged it into the side of Ann Rodie, of the same number. Both of the in- jured parties are at present condned to their bed® in @critical’ condition.

The business of the past week in Wall street waa on @ diminished scale, under a general disposition to make no new engagements until the advent of the New Year, THM GOLD MAKK ET attracted more than usudi attention, for the reason that in the two sales by the government Mr, Bout well was contradictory in hia policy. At the outset t was the understanding that in future he would not reject bida which were within a haif per cent of to market price. Hence the inference by the street what, provided his Limit was obtained, gold would notbe held back. It gave a virtual promise that future sales would be uninterrupted, experience showing that it is easy to dispose of the gold ata small traction below the market price. This policy underwent a sudden alteration on Friday, however, when the last million of the year was tobe sold) An order was then received from Washington to accept oniy such bids as were above 120, Under the pre- vious understanding gold fell to 119. It now reacted to 120%. What is the meaning of this sud- den change in the Secretary's plans? Iti not dim- cult, perbaps, to determine. His capacity to sell gold will be greatly diminished in months ensutog to May. The Treasury gold balance after the pay- mens of the January inverest will show only about twenty millions as actually the property of the gov- ernment. The income from customs during January will be light, ag not only have our importers re- duced their purchases, but the season is the one when the receipts of foreign goods fall to the lowest ofthe year. Hence should he pursue his policy of Belling ten or twelve millions of gold per month he would before May leave the Treasury almost empty. His action, therefore, 1s only a preparation for a reduction of his programme for danuary. The goid sales of the month will be sufficient merely to pro- vide means for buying the monthly cancellation of bonds for the Sinking Fund, As to the effect upon the gold market it isan open question, “he goid, if not in the Treasury, ia in the banks, and its plenti- ness 18 operative from either place. The foreign demand cannot but be light until the export season is over—that 1s, until spring, when tue imports ‘Wil begin to be felt. THE MONRY MARKET worked gradually closer until the last day of the business wees, wien there was some relaxation, owing to the desire of lenders to empioy their bal- ances over the two holidays, while the government disbursements in payment of purchased bonds also combated the natural actigity of the market, which was due to’the calling in 6F loans to meet the pay- ment of January dividends, interest, coupons and the like. ‘The monéy so disturbed will continue to remain out of bank fora few days of the ensuing Week, and hence some activity 13 looked for uaul the 5th or 6th inst. DISCOUNTS were quiet and rather easier, ‘gilt edged” prime short paper going as low as eight per cent and or- dinary prime double names at nine to twelve. FORRIGN BXCHANGE was heavy and declined, closing dull and frm at the lower quotations. GOVERNMENT BONDS were active toward the close, in response to a sharp rise in Europe and in sympatny with the firmer tone communicated to the gold market by the action of Secretary Boutwell in refusing to sell below 120, THE STOOK MARKET ‘was heavy antil near the close of the week, when a tilt between some of the prominent operators in- duced an upward tarn in Northwest, which resulted in more buying and a stronger feeling generally. The feature was a decline in Pacific Mati to 41%, upon which price it eventually recovered nearly two per cent. THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly bank statement of the associated banks, which was presented on Friday afternoon, 1s highly favoravle, and shows the beginning of the accumulation of funds at this centre so usual in the winter months. The specie ite, fs increased two and three-quarter millions and the legal tenders half @ million dollars, while the loans are decreased bout seven hundred thousand dollars. The de- crease tn joans is doubtless due to the calling tn of funds by the banks for the payment of dividends ‘and semi-annual interest. The reserve has been increasea three and a quarter millions, while the banks have pearly three millions in the surplus above the legal reserve.

Shonld the country remain a fow years longer in suspension the Pacific Railroad and the growing business between the East and the extreme West will soon make a common currency necessary to both. It says:— ‘the very ungractous proposition advanced in the report of the Seoretary of the Treasury to supply the gold producing Stetes with $30,000,000 in paper, in order to dimiaish circulation of paper money east of the Rocky Mountains and substitute our gold in its place, was undoubtedly the result of per- nicious auvice received frou either unscrupulous or shallow-prained parties in Sen Francisco, It 1s clearly impossible to bave a paper curren ere, even If such currency were gold notes, redeemable at.par, in gold, on presentation, without deranging our whole financial system and placing us at the mercy of Eastern capitalists. When the country shall have resumed specie payments, and the same fae obtains alike in all parts of the Union, wiil time enough to talk about paper currency for California, Should any bank in this State attempt to issue gold notes, sucd notes, upon being received in the Eastern States, would be. immediateiy sent back for redemption in gold, and no man of ordinary financial sense will attempt so Quixotic a measure, On the other hand, were our State flooded with an irredeemable paper currency, rates of interest would tumble down immediately, and capital- ists would as quickly withdraw their means for investment in better paying fields, ieav- ing us much worse olf than ever, besides inflicting upon us @ most villanous financial curse under which all other portions of the Union are groaning, and from which they are praying to be ri leased. The more rapid intercourse established tween the Atlantic and Pactfic States by the rati- roads has in no jot nor tittle alfecced our mofetary condition. All that couid be done in that way was accomplished py telegraphic communication. Upon our trade vast changes have-been brought about by enabling Easvern manufacwurers and proaucers to compete directly with our own, and, as toey pay far leas for labor tuan we do, they have been successful in several departments of industry, When we cai procure Jabor on the same terms the tide will turn in our favor.

THE IOWA SAFE ROBDERY. A Singular Case—Coufession ot the Assistant Troeasurer—His Suicide. {From the Chicago Tribune, Dec. 30.) On the 9vh of December last Tuma City, lowa, waa thrown into an extraordinary state of excivement on account of the robvery of tue County Treasurer's safe of money amounting to between $5,000 and $6,000, About seven o'clock on the evening of thas day one of the county officials, named Newcomer, heard moans and groans proceeding {rom the Trea- surer’s office, and, cn entering, found the Deputy Treasurer, Denton Camery, iyiag under the tabie in pool of blood. He Was apparently tnsensibie. Examination showed that he had several wounds in the breast, that bis hand was gashed across, and that his head was badly cruised. On coming to he gave the foliowing version of the case:— About half-past six P. M. he was in the office pre- paring to go home, woen two men of savage aspect came to the counter und called for five dollars’ worth of internal revenue stamps, odering in payment a bill of $100. After carefully scrutinizing the bill to assure himself of its genuineness he went to open the safe to get the change. While doing so the larger of the two men jumped over the counter, and, grabbing him by the throat, inflictea the wounds in his breast with @ knife, while the other man occu- pied the time in pounding his head with a heavy stick, after which he put out the lamp. The wound 10 his hand was caused by himself, a8 ne grasped the knile with which his assaiiant was cutting him up. ‘The thieves then ransacked the safe, The entire community felt a Coie interest in the case, for Mr. Camery was nearly killed in protectlag public property. He received the sympathy of w man who sacrifices himself for the public good. Then he was always known as a respectabie citizen, of tried worth and bonesty, and, more than all, had been married only six weeks to the prettiest girl in tuat part of the country. His friends and neighbors vowed vengeance on the perpetrators: of tue outrage and a sort of vigi- lance committee was formed to huns down the vil- lains. The country was scoured and every suspi- cious character for miles arouad was’ closely watched, but with no satisfactory result, as no clue could be obtained to fasten the crime upon anyoody. Mr. G. H, Warren, banker in the town, was deter- mined to have the mystery solved, at any cost, so he wrote to Mr. Holmes, of the Mauulasturers’ National Bank, of this city, who placed the cuse in the hands of Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency. A detec- Uve Was uc Once despatcned to the sceue to Work up the case. He lay arouud there tor a week, foliowing up the case. Av the end of that time he became cou- vinced that none of the kuown bad characters of the commuuaity were guilty of the crime. ‘fhe story toid by Camery did not hold togetuer in ail its parte, Yhere were inconsistencies in its details that could not be reconciled. It was strange that when the laimp was thrown down it did not set something on fire, and it was more sirange that the wounda, though deep, were not serious, nor were they such as @ man would be likely to receive in @ struggle of jue and death. The detective made up lus mind thas Camery inflicted the wounds upon hunseif a3 & blind to screen the robbery and to divert suspicion into over channels. Camery was induced to come Vo this city on Thursday last on pretence of search- ing for the robbers here. He came without much hesitation, aud was taken to Hinkerton’s office, where he Was put through & course of what de- tectives call “sweating,” wad after three hourw examination he owned up and confessed the crime, He staved that the money Was im the safe at bis mercy, and that he became posseased of ao uncon- querable desire to steal it He took it, and buried it under the sidewaik of-the Court House Jard, Where it has since been found, not a doliar missing. The wounds he made witn a knife, aad then bumped his head against the wail to produce the bruises. He ust have been a man of surpass- ing coolness, combined with great tenacity o! pur pos to deliberately plan and execute such @ scheme. as taken back wheuce he caine and given in custody O1 the autnorith The surprise of ine peo- ple on learning the true state of-aifuirs may bo imagined. Camery, overcome with shame and du- appointment, shot himself on Tuesday, thus passing ignominiously away at the early age of twenty-five, when Lis prospects were vrigul, and leaving behind him, to mourn his dishonor and bis loss, the bride of a lew weeks. There seems to be no adequate motive for the rob- ‘he unfortunave man Was comparatively Well owner of some valuable reai estate and in joyment of a good salary. It is but another instance of the weakness of uudan nature and tae inability of the human heart to resist -empiation. ight of mea: ‘To do iil deeds takes tli de; is done!
