MORMONISM., “More About the Great Mecting of the Reformers. - Mr. Harrison Explains the Constitution, Which is Adopied Unanimously— Speeches by Godbe and Kelsey— Temporary Officers Chosen— Two Hundred Persons Join the New Movement. Sacr Lage Urry, Jan, 27, 1870, At the moeting Iast’Tuesday evening Mr. Harrison made some running comments explanatory of cer- tain sections of the constitution, tue text of which bas already been published in the HeRatp. In making the division of grand stakes, he said (a division Witch bad not hitherto been incorporated am the Church) they had prospectively in view the time when other nations wouid have their perma- ment stakes in Zion, At present the highest division of the Mormon Cuurch was a stake, but in the future; after otfier Territories, States and nations had come im, another hame would be requirea, and thus was provision made for grand stakes of Zion. The ex- tent of stakes and grand stakes would be settied by the Church in council, Concerning the temporat and spiritual department belug quite distinct, he said they alt knew how hitherto in «me burch men had been so encumbered with temporal matters that they had had no time to have spiritual thought in their mma: bishops had had their hands go full of tithing, dis- tributing to the poor, or procuring candles for the meeting house, that there was no spiritual develop- ment within them, and they were unabie to feed the’ people with the bread of life. The provisions touch- ing the trustees, he said, left only one end of the purse: open, and that the one that wes turned toward the people. Referring to the ladies’ atd com- muittees he said that no one could smooth the dying Pulow or minister to the poor aud needy 60 well as woman, and if a bishop should get cross or grumpy @ woman might be able to temper him down, and so by mixing a litule of bishop with a good deal of wo- Manthey could get a toierably moderated article. As to tithing, he said it was based somewhat on the Principle of the United. States internal revenue, Which allowed a man to have a certain aum not sub- Ject to assessment. ‘The object why the heavens Dad retained the special right to designate the first presidency and the twelve aposties was, he said, Dechuse they were to be inspirational men. ‘They ‘Were called not so mucb to preside as to be oracles, Administration would be left more directly to the People. Aithough it was provided that thé people ‘Would elect officials, still the “buck door would ve lefGopen”’ to aduut of revelation, In case the peo- ple were nut willing to accept a man whom tae wavens Might appoiny the ueavens would have Lo yield, and, as it had been che case for 61x thousand years, await the concurrence of the people.

Having concluded reading the eonstitution and Making Ws running cowments, Mr, Harrison moved That the Coustituuon be adopted aud twe Chured of Zion ve organized Upon it. ‘Tue suggesuon was adopied viva vove, one member only, who made ‘objection to the inajority reyuired to amend the con- suUUUtION, raising Lis voice agamst 1.

The present systei Was Not, as IL clatiued to be, voting by ballot. At elections in the great Awerican repub.i¢ no man could know low auother voted unless he volunta revealed it, xsut in Utah, when a@ man went to cast his vote he found his name down opposite a serial number, Lhe sawe nuluver Was placed upon ‘Dis icket, 80 that toe Cliurch authorities could see how be ad voted; aud if the way in which he had Voted did uot please them the mandate was “spot bua,” “put ts oame down for a mussion.”” The new movement would set the people iree, so that they could vole just us they pleased, wiinout being in danger of being *spowed" or “sent om oa a mia. sion.” ‘Lhe basis of this principle Was recognition of divimity in the people. “Vox poputi voc Lre was the Sentiment thal Would protect forever the rights and Liberties of the Churen o: Zion. “Having treed my- seli Irom one despotisui,” concluded heisey, ‘as God lives, aud ws iny soul Lives, L will wever jouw auother,”” GODBE ON THE GLORIES OF THE SYSTEM.

They were cailed and instructed to show that they were qual. that first and second was not to be known between them, but that they were to be considered, in the language of ‘the heavenly revelation, ‘as the two arms of a man.’ Hence I move that we sustain them as equal counsellors to the presidency.” Har- rison and Godbe were then confirmed by a viva voce vote of the assembly, “We have not taken this vote by ballot” Mr, Kelsey said, ‘because we cannot question those two names and organize the Church of Zion,’” KELSBY CONFIRMED AS AN APOSTLE. Mr. Godbe reiterated tne announceinent that the various ‘‘quorums’? would be organized accordin, as the proper persons to fill them were ay pointed |. “Only one person,” be said, ‘has thus far been des- ignated by heavenly revelation as a member of the twelve, and he is Eli B. Kelsey. I rise to move th: he be accepted by you as one of the quorum of the Tweive.”” Mr, Keisey Was then unauimoualy chosen viva voce. LAWRENCE ELECTED TEMPORARY TRUSTER IN TRUST. Mr. Godbe suggested the naine of Henry W. Law: rence as trustee in trust of the Chureh of Zion until @ permanent trustee should be named and ratified at the General Assembly in April next. Mr. Law: rence, who is universally respected as a sterling man, Who was one of we chief stockholders {n the co-operative institution, and whom the ‘orthodox’ authorities strove 80 strongly but so vainly to per- ade not to leave the established system, was in a eee manner contirmed as temporary trustee in us MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF ZION, Mr, Harrison then announced that about 200 men and women had ‘sold their brick¥ gud given in thetr names as members of the movement. ‘That was, he sald, nearly forty times as imany as had “sold tuelr brick” When Joseph Smith organized bis Church forty years ago next April; and if the new movement should progress in @ corres ponat ratlo they might soon expect to see a measure oO! advancement of which those adhering to the oid system had noconception. The meeting was ended by the benediction, Trains Stopped by a Town Collector—The United States Marshat Resisted. The telegraph has given us some particulars of an attempt, fallare and final success by the coliec- tor of the town of Paris, Oneida county, N. Y., to attach the morning passenger and mail tratn on the Utica, Chenango aad Susquehanna Vaiey Kailroad at Clayville, to satisfy an assessment for taxes which the company refused to pay. The Utica Evening Observer of the 7th prints the following particulars of the affair:— Saturday forenoon President Lawrence visited Clayville. There he received assurauces chat no fur- ther attempt would be mage to detain tratus, and this prediction we chronicled in our issue of Satur- day. Saturday evening the following despaicu came irom Waterville: Warervitte, N. Y., Feb, 6, 1870, The train arrived here on time. The colioctor at Clayviile, with from fifty to 100 men armed with clubs, attempted 0 seize the train, butidid not succeud. Tt seems that there was a large gathering of men and boys at the depot just before tue arrival of the train, Some in the crowd carried clu! nd it i said that the parties acted under the di tion of Coliector De Graff. Their object, it was evident, was Lo get possession of the expected tram or some part ofit, As the cars neared the village conductor. Baker was informed of the reception he might ex- | pect. The brakes were promptly seb on vhe rear car, and when te train stopped at the depot the tension made the couplings firm and strong. Directly alter the tram hulved, as we learn, a son of Coi- lector De Graff attempted to pull the pin between the baygage and passenger Cars. ‘The ten. sion on the couplings was 80 strong that this could hot be effected, A siedge hammer was tried, but the coapliug pin would not be distodged. Other parties threw sticks of woou in front of the wheels, but these obstructions were promptly removed. Pre- sently the signa: was given and the train moved off. As we understand It, the only blows given were those bestowed on the coupling pin. About half-past nine this moriutug President Law- rence went to Clayville by @ special train. He reached that place shortly before the arrival of the reguiar train, At the depot, awaiting the arrival of the reguiar run, was a large crowd of men and boys, and it was evident, from their conversation and actions, that they intended to go about the bysi- ness of seizure in earpest. All attempts to reason with thein were useless, and a8 soon as the tain arrived tue crowd made @ demonsirauon which overpowered the officials in charge. All attempts by President Lawrence and others to release the cars irom the irate Parisians iaued, They noi only seized the regular train due in Uuica at eleven olcluck tis foreavon, but forctvly levied on the special train wiich carried Mr. Lawrence to Clay- Ville. . As soon a8 Mr. Lawrence understood that the Clayville folks invended to hold his special train he procured horses and drove to the city, reaching here about one o’clock this forenoon, ie lumediately Jound the presideat of the Utica and Black iver Kauroad, Mr. John fuorn, and, securing au engine and a coupie of cars, they Were starved for Clay ville. ‘This last train lett chis city a lew nunutes belore two o'clock Uus atternoun. Mr. thorn and several otuers went up to the sceie of the trouvle. It 13 a question Whether the inob at Clayville wilt permit the cars of te Black Ktver road to take away the passengers they have been holding there for the past live luurs.

Sypyey, Dec. 3, 186%, Great political agitations ure goluy on here-just Dow, consequent upon the dissolution of Pariia- ment, Many new candidates are in tno feld, seeking pariiamentary honors. ‘The chief ery tn the elec: tioneering speeches and addresses is “free trade,’ apd the feeilng of the majority of the people ts 80 decidedly in its favor that the advocates for protec: Uon are succumbing to the tide of popular opinion, and remain silent upon thetr favorite topic. The case of the alleged siaver, Daphne, is now closed, the last feature im it requiring the judg- ment of the court being the granting of a certificate to Captain Palmer, by which he ts protected from all actions and costs for the seizure, detention, &¢,, to Which he would other wise be Hable, Tho Judge, In giving his decision, remarked “that there was not evidence of any description before hin to slow that the laborers were slaves, or that they were ever used. OF intended to be disposed gf ay such.” An important action was decided in the Supreme Court of this etty on the 10th November. Some two years ago Mr. Hall, the United States Consui here, ‘was accused vy W. L. Booker, Britisu Consul at San Francteco, with issuing traudulent certiticates for labor on tne Centrai Pacific Ratiroad, ‘This was re- ported to the British Minister at Washington, and also to the government bere. in consequence of tha report Mr. Hall-was requested by his government to refrain from inducing any further emigra- tion, ‘The plaintiif in the above mentioned action waa John Kane. a fireman, who left this city for San Francisco, in Decemoer, 1867, to be employed by the Central Pacific Ral.road Company. it ‘ap. pear that on his arrival he did not approve of the work apportioned him, and, after remaining two or three months, he returned here and commenced an action in the Supreme Court, setting forth the pleas of breach of contract and fraud. Damages were laid at £000, The case occupied two days, during which many legai technicalities were used in re- spect to the respousibilily of agents and principals, ‘Lhe jury, after retirmg a few minutes, returned with a Verdict (or the defendant on ail tssues, and added, in reference to the svcond issue, “that Mr, Hall nad never conceived any fraud much less prac- tised one.” Not being satisfied with this decision Kane appited for a new triai on the ist inst., which was refused, on the ground that tle jury were per- tecly right in their verdict, it bemg in harmony with the evinence adduced. The Judge before whom the case was tried remarked that the detengant was Jusuged in his whole proceeding, and deserved the Unanks of the working Classes rather tuan their cen- sure. The United States steamship Jamestown arrived at Feejee Uctover 21, for the purpose of settling disputes between the whites and Feejeeans. Immediately on the receipt of ber arrival, two Bnush ships of war were ordered there. ‘The British fying squadron consisting of a1x ships, ia now in Meibourne and expected to reach bere by the 10th instant, and make & stay of fourteen days. ‘The Maori aifficulties in New Zealand will soon terminate; favorable mdications are now appearing. strenuous efforts are being made vo induce the pronecet monthly line of steamers between here and San: Francisco to call at Wellington instead of the Bay of islanas which was first proposed, Both porte are in New Zeaiand. mR Sho is Interviewed at Her Florida Planta- tion by an Excursion Party—Curtous Ace count of Her Domestic Habits and Pecu- lharities, . (Jacksonville, Fia. (Jan. 81), correspondence of the Nashville Union and Aimerican, } About twelve o'clock a party of about thirty Indies and gentlemen took an excursion on a small steam boat tweive or fifteen miles up the St. Jobus. After we had been some tine out the captain informed us that Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s plantation jay im- mediately on ube bank Of the river, and that the old ludy had arrived there but aiew days previous for her uspai winter sojourn, Lt was then determined that the excursionisis would call upon her, and When the boat arrived opposite her residence a coin- mitiee of Cincinnati gentlemen called at the house to learn whetner it would be agreeable for us to pay our respects to her. She informed the commitiee tuat she would be pleased to receive the laaies aad gentie- men ol the excarsion. Accordingly aii marched up wo tne house and were presented to Mrs, Stowe. We were very much disappointed im her appearance. She is scarcely up to the medium height, and has strong masculine features, but greatly lacking in whe intelligence she has displayed in Ler contributions to. the literature of We day, Were she placed in a room with a number of ladies selecied promiscuonsly, there 1s scarceiy one ina hundred wio wouid select her as a woman of gentus, She appeared difident und il at ease in the company of our ladies. Wuether she was embarrassed aud forgot, or whether itis Characteristic of her, she certamly exhibited none of the hospitality with which @ tidy in the South receives visitors, She leit the ladies of our party to get seats as best they could, did not mtroduce them vo her daughters, wo were present, nor did she offer them a Cup of water, nor 4n orange, Which hung in profuston on tue trees around the door, ier aaughiers, twin sister nothing to say; indeed, we beileve they did not speak Lo one of the visitors. Oue of them was en- gaged on a piece of crochet work, and she plied Ler- self to ue Work belore her as though sue were a hired seamstress who had no right to speak, ‘this conduct avtructed tue attenuion of both ladies and genviemen of the party, and it was suggested in ex- Uenuation of their want of hospitality that, be- ing Ue family of a distinguished authoress, wey were perhaps subjected to visits from a great many curtous aud unpertinent peopie, and that they had adopted this method to rid toem- selves of both boors and bores. One of the party, @ muschievous, fun-loving disciple of Blackstone Irom Atlanta, slates that wale one portion of the pary were interviewing “the vid Wwoinan” ou the veranda fronting the river, and others were viewig the oranges a3 wey hung temptingly on the ees on either sid¢ and 1n tae rear of {pe house, he inade his wity to the kitchen to incerview the servants, He encouutered @ raver pretty and witty Irish girl, from whont he learned @ good aval in regard to the domestic habits of the stowe famtiy. in response to an inquiry, she stated tbat Mrs. stowe’s wm daugh- ters were thirty years old, and that they did not want to marry, Our Atlanta irieud said he thougat 4$ much from thelr behavior. Mrs. Siowe looks to be sixty-five years old, though under fifty-eight, having been born June 1, 1512, phe weurs her hatr, whichis quite gray, in entls, and was dressed in very pian, unpretendlug styte. | She ed In 1586 to the Kev. Proiessor Calyin Shortly alterwards ste commeaced her literary career, and in 1861 began the pubiication in the National Era, an anttsiavery paper at Washing. ton, as a serial tale, of her celebrated work entiticd “Uncle ‘Tom’s Oabin.” It attracted so much atten. tion that when completed, im 1852, 1b Was published Mm book form in #oston, aud so great was the de- mand for it that at ieast 400,000 copies were sold, The English reprints are+ estiiuuted to have reached 500,000 copies, and it was rapidly transited into all European and some Asiatic languages, and it Was also extensively dramatized, It has veen justiy said with reference to this book, that “never dia an American writer achieve so snd- dea and great a Hterary success, or exert a more profound miluence upon American politics and goct- ety.” One Oi our party, arepublican, rewarked that our troubles date irom the promuigation of wis work, aud the memory of the “lat; sleek negroes’! he lost by the war inspired in him no high respect for Mrs. Stowe. Although ste has written lwo otuer anul-slavery and a number of literary books, none of them are remembered, except her last, Which has calied forth the denunciation of almost every press in the country. Notwithstanding her abuse ‘and misrepresentation of the peopieé of the South, she ia treaved by them with the courtesy due toa lady, It Was learned from the geutieman who has coarge of the place that Mra, Stowe owns about nineiy, acres ol land, on which there ts a small orange gtove. Le stated that the trees yield trom 0 to 4,000 oranges each, and that they sell for five dollars to eight doliars per barrel, averaging 250 to L00 oranges per barrel, The demand tor oranges 18 not 60 good Ulis season as formerly and prices ure lower, it was noticed that Mrs, stowe's oranges were not 80 large a8 those On ap adjoining piace, bus perhaps the larger ones had been gathered and marketed. - A few mutates before the party returned to the boat Professor Stowe made his appearance and was introduced to a few who still lingered at Lhe house, He is @ venerable, patriarchal looking mun,. and made rather a favorable impression upon those who conversed with lim: Mrs. Stowe stated that) sir would return to her New England home in May, Her resideuce on the st. Jolins is an unpretending but neat cottage, and {t 18 claimed to have veen but upon the spots where the first dwelling was erected in Floriua, .
