Congress and the Cullom Bill—Dr, Newman and Brigham Young—A Mormon Elder in Washington—ihe New York® Saints in Rebellion Against Brig. ham and Polygamy. “To THB EpiT0R OF THE HERALD:— On the breaking out of the schism ia Utah tast December I gave to the HeRAup a series of exposi- Uons from the reform side. Your special correspon- dent afterwards came, and Utah affairs were most | faithfully represented by him through the HERALD, while we continued our work of editing the Salt Lake Tribune and assaulting Brigham’s theocracy in its weakeat points, Several elders of the Utah Pro- Testants are now abroad on mission for a similar Durpose, and they will strike in various directions, ‘The schism is now in New York. The Morimon tcouo- clasts commenced their work here last Sunday, and rebclitonin New York against the Utah hierarchy is almost as serious as rebellion in Salt Lake Clty, for here 13 the capital of Mormondom in its emigrational state. pect that we can overturn we kingdom of Brigham Young in a day; but we are working up the revolution everywhere, and in due time shall overthrow theocracy and abolish polygamy. Until then an illustrious Congress shali play with Utah affairs to amuse Mr. Colfax and give Dr. Newman anti-polygamic opportunities. We shall work out the solution, and, it 1s to be hoped, accomplish more than those statesmen who are In charge of the anti-polygamic bills. Mrs. Browning said:— Apostates only are iconcelasts. If this be so legislators Cragin and Culiom and Drs, Colfax and Newman may not succecd ta their com- bined assaults upon Mormon polygamy and Mormon “ theology.

I thank Providence that tt hangs not ou Congress, 1 confess to som: desire to speak to the wise men of | the nation; and therefore went to Washington, ‘Where the density of wisdom dwells during the ses- sions, My object was to explain to the legislators ‘the subject of Mormonism aad the Mormons, for I had lopg mourned over Cougress and pitied the statesmen in their periodical spasms over Utah af- Jeira, And we who are most concerned have some | right to speak, not only to those statesmen, put to ‘We entire nation, upon the matier. It is now about fourteen years since Congress and the Presidency of | the United States attempted to grapple with us, first by armies and then by antt-polygamie bills, Speak- ing of the first, as a novel point in their bistory, the Mormons always couple with it the story of ‘The mighty King of Franc Who with'ten thousand men Marched up the hill and then warched down agata, Nor has Congress been more successful in logtsla- ang upon Usan affairs than its grand army was in Aghting the Mormons in ‘67-8, and then going, with its General, Albert Sidney Jobnston, into a clean re- beliion for slavery anu the South, Judging by parai- Jel, the Mormons may hope that Congress, alter a few years more of failure in legisiating against Polygamy, Will become disgusted with itself, and catching @ reaction of resolves to do. something, turn round and establish polygamy as the marriage - Jaw of the United States. I sincerely wish that Congress would learn the fact that there are more eldera in Utah desirous of rooting up the Merarchy and the polygamy which so tronble the wisdom and virtue of tie Capiio! ‘there are legislators in the land earnest upon the game subject. Indeed, to prove to Washington that Ulan was move carnest than herself for social and religious reform, was my chief reason for visiting ‘tat historic city, over Whose travails 1 had mourned, In the first place, Congress should learn that we need no special legislation on our affairs; bat, if It has caught a manta to legisiate, let it do something passably sane, aud Mormon elders will come to the help of the statesmen wiio so often have underta- ken and so often accompiisied nothing. Th? truth 4s, we need but opportunities aud the opening of our ‘mines to solve ail our problems. There are 5,000 Mormon elders from Great Britain, with twenty years of experience in their work, ranging in age not ove: forty-five. Whats does Congress know of us beneath the surface?

More upon Dr. Newman and Brigham Young presently. TRE NAVION IN UTAH. The United States in Utah never were at much account until the Uta Protestants struck for ihe honor of the nation as much as for tneir own civil and religious jiberty. Being ihe associate editor of ‘the Salt Lake Yribune, Who had not a divine mis- sion, | was put fn charge of tne ‘iefence of the na- faon, and the United States officials out there had some catise to be grateful to us; so has (he nation, for we have defended tis houor, I betieve at tie risk of our lives, You all know something of the circumsta:ces just prior to the strike for religious retorm and to Anicrt- canize Utah. Brigham was combining ali the cou mercial power of the ‘Territory against the “‘Gen- ules,” Merchants and oMcials, and though they had no serious cause to fear a relgu of terror agatn, there was heaviness of heart among them, and it Was ex- ir rage that every Gentile would have to leave who a drawn resources trom the Mormon people. Moreover, Brigham had just goue so far in a cor aa Ming of policy as to explain to Senator ‘umbull that the government need not be surprised 1 he caused some of the United Stutes omictals to be Bent out of the Territory. We struck our blow and changed the very circumstauces of Mormondom, id the past can never be repeated. At this point $he remedy of special legisiatton and the rightéous- ness of the Cullom bili, With guch a bill pefore Cup. ress, and triamphant in the House, was It wonde! ful that the reformers wero denounced by all the or- y shodox bishops and elders throughout the Territory. prime, who are ; Mormon elders will | gress comes in with its density of wisdom and | Grant with an army would a virtue, that had sutfered so long, 10 apply to Utah | Mormons, and multiply them Into half a mUlion; but ‘pecialiy when it concerns legislation, and the nu- ; Uon's hovor and magnanimity, “1 was gratified, however, to find Mr. Cullom @ genileman aud no type of bis barbaric bill. DR. N’WMAN AND BRIGHAM YOUNG. Here, now, are two interesting subjects. These men are weil Inatcied, and they are abont to give birth to @ historic event, For the first time a | Christian divine is about to go upto the “mountain of the Lord’s houge’’ to contend with his “anointed,” for such Brigham ciatms to be; for the first time fs a Dgnuicl found to beard vhe “lion of the Lord’? in his own den, sod declare that he bears the name of Christ and not of Brigham Young. If Dr. Newman is bold enough he will startle Mo.mondom; and yet I foresee that the Doctor ruas the’ risk * of being bo.h Dumbled and enraged. Nevertheless it 15 a capital event, aud, if powerlully marked, {t ‘will create an ora in Mormon history and be a novel item in our national history. True there have been ministers of the various Christian churclies in Utan and they have spoken in the tabernacle, but they have uot grappled with the “iion of the Lord’? nor handled Mormonisin there; neither, till now, have either the Beechers or the Newmans of America gone Up to convert Mormondom. And yet this [s the pro- per policy and the ouly Kind of Chistian legislation that should be adopted in the case. Insteaa of send- ing geuerals who afterwards have gone ito rebel- lion or into disgrace in whe service, let the nation vend up her Christian aposties to contend with Mor- mion apostles. Dr, Newman is decidedly the man, He is bold and is a Brigham Young of bis order, When Greek meets Greek then will come the tug of War, Newman will shake Mormondom more than Buchanan did, and yet I have said he will not master j the many wives of “Zion. Nor is this very dificult to understand, for one wife 13 | as much @3 any man can grapple with, either ; 1m practice or theory. Why, polygamy has mastered | the Mormons themselves a3 well as Congress, The: | can neither get along well: with it, nor get divorced from it, for our polygamic Sposties and vishops can- | not conveniently eat their extra wives and children, | and no matter how powerful the Rev, Doctor's argu- | ments may be, no Mormon polygam. it will ever cou- | Sent to do anything worse than eat bis wives to get Out of hus «iilicuity, Here, then, 18 the paradox— | the monogamic divine will be couquered ‘by poly- | gainy, notwithstanding his victortes. Now Brigham nows this, and there Was @ supreme satire, more ; Marked from its very good nature, in Krigham’s chailengiog Dr. Newman to come up to Zion aud preach jils sermons On polygamy in tho great taber- hacle. Would he have given the chaplain of the Senate and pastor of Grant a challeuge to come up @nd attack ms ‘kingdom’? and take the “lion of the Lord” by the beard? Nay, for his “kingdom” and his anointing are his vulnerable points, whereas the many wives and more children have increased and protected the power of wrignam Young. Had there been no polygamy Brigham to-day in Amertea would have been comparatively a nameless man. Tho chaplatu of the Senate is simply Invited up to Zion to the glory of the “lion of the Lord” but if Dr, Newiman be equal to the epportunity, and makes a bold attack on the “kingdoin” and the king, then we shall have much sensation, for then will the wrath of the King be aroused, und ail “Israel will say amen.” Yet ifthe Doctor should dare a David's part there wouid be no personal danger, but great victories, The reformers would rally to his stizdard, and David would havea host. He would greatly 18, Now, the Mormon reformers desire no more than to ‘the Senate will a Sort Interview iu tis Vico President's | strengthen the reform cause in Utah and Brigham’s theocracy, and consequently bis pelygamy would receive a tremendous blow, which not even General Grant could strike so weli as Dr. Newman.

We only hope that the pastor of come to the platform in good condition and fight it out as long as we ad fore him on the "we can stan Bible and Moses and the Prophets, or wield a pen against his elaborate essays. lormon elders are very arrogant, and believe that they can whip all the divinés In America. Indeed, Brigham in his confidence is not unlikely to propose a discyssion between the Doctor and several of the polygamio sisters. Eliza Snow, Zion's poetess, will be @ mate for the chaplain, and sister Harriet Cook Young, who has been more than a maten for Brigham ali her lifetime, would match the monogamist in tis3 argument should Orsou Pratt be beaten. I am not treating this lightly, for it 1s almost certain that tho Prophet will-give tho Dootor into the hands of the sisters. Itis tho woman's subject, aud she would brave a claim and bea power in the argument. De- pend upon it, the monogamie divine will meet even @ more formidable opponent than Orson Pratt, and not unlikely that opponent will be a woman, HOW BRIGHAM WILL RECEIVE Hu. Brigham will receive the Chaplain of the Senat Just a8 he would the Senate itsell, or Louls Nap: Jeon. The vicogerent of the kingdom of heaven is not to be lunpressed by any living man, The polut 4s, he believes in his migsion, and Dr. Newman will simply be the Chaplain in the presenge of the Pro- phet, Brigham wilt assert this ail over, with such a quietude, and that power of simplicity so marked in reat characters, that I fear tho dignity of the Sen- te will be humbled, for once, the Doctor will find himself 1n the presence of @ man superior to him- sell—a mun re to Moses in character—@ mon unst whom I ight because he is too great for me. yr. Newman may hot confess the by magn of the Prophet, but he will feei it from tue first moment of the meeting. This pleases me immensely, for the Chaplain is a very potent man, who has taken up the genes, and hencetorth he will fight against tigham Young because he also. finds the Prophet too great for him. Brigham will be generous, serene, magnanimous, All Mor- mondom. will bo at the command of we reverend visitor, Tho sisters will confess freely to him their polygamic lives, in waieh the divine shall find not one sin, Duc perhaps wuch crucifixion, aad Brigham’'s word will assemble 10,000 people im the great tabernase to hear the Chapiain’s sermons against polygamy.

TUE REBEL SADNIS OF NEW YORK. Leaving Dr. Newuwan in Washington equipping himseit to go up to the great pattie in Zion I came to New York, aud found a number of Saints ready to rebel aguinst Brigham, polygainy aad the kingdow, The Sate Lake Tribune had been puting a Satan mto them, in spite of the tact that the Godbeites have “done away with tue devil,” against watch fen- tered my protest, not exactly seeing how tue world can get along Without him. Apostie Orson Uyde declured that the Mormon Protestants were all of their fatuer, the devil, aud | found some of his chil- dren among tae Saints in New York, the chief of whom is Colln Gampvell McPhearson. He is named alter the great Sir Colin Campbell, who stood his godsatier and promised Lo be responsible to see that Uke boy renoun the devil and all his works. About ‘twenty-tive years ago Colin became a joung Saint, and pow he is repenting of ft, aod leading quite & number after him of thac class of the Saints who dare to apostatize. On Sua- day Colin Cae gree MoPhearson heid the staud in. ‘the evening. coufess the thing was wicked, for Con had overreached tue ciel priesis of the New York Conference, and had obtatued tie pulpit to preach just ut such a discourse as the revgls In Zion preach, i¢ Prophet Brigham, Who- revealed that Adam was “our father gad Ged,” aud who established celestial marriage (polygamy) was used up by the goason of Sir Coilu, sud Adam and the ceiesital covenaut shared the sume fate. Thera was not @ ian among the chief priests bold enough to pull Eider Colin Campbell McPuearson froin tne alps, though I saw # number disposed that way, at the repel elder had N13 colleagues with nim, be- sides a family of New York Suints just returned from Zion i the rival mission of young Joseph sinith, and the assoclate editor of tue’ turee rebel papers—tire Peep O'Day, the Utah Magazine and the Salt Lake Trivune, which since 1864 have artsen to grapple with the Utah hierarchy. I had nothiog to do witu work- ing up this revellion, excepting with my compccra through the /rivune, but arrived just in time to see another schism born. Such examples prove that Mormondom to-day is in a state of transition and revolution, and that Congress need not come in to blotch the face of American history with special legislation agalust @ religious people Wao are hurry- ; ing to transform themseives, Next Sunday will come the sitting of the Council on the revei Saints, and then the excommunication and the anathema. ‘Then will come the turn of Kider David Drewery and others, alter which the rebel elders, who have & mission to pull down the kingdom of Brigham Young and abolish its polygamy, will take the assembly room directly under that used by the orthodox party und start a new branch. Apos- tates are always the strougest men, as witness Lu- ther, Calvin, Knox and Weygy, and as the Mormon Apostastes everywhere are wlso Witnessing. Public meetings will “be heid by the secedera, aud I pre- ict hat from this schisin in New York, just breaking out, important results will come, and a battering rain be formed wiich will do havoc among the Mor- mon cwigranis as they arrive from Kogland on their Way to their promised land. ‘The schismatics will reveal Zion abroad, and especially attack polygamy and the rule of Brigham Young.
