UTAH. The Eicotion for Delegate to Oongress. Practical Inauguration of the Fe- male Franchise, Mormons with Thelx Wives and Concu- . pines at the Polls—Brigham Young Bringt a Bevy of His Women— Apostics and Elders Parading Polygamy in the Streets— Mlegal Voting by Both Saints and Sinners, Savr Laxe Crry, U.T., August 2, 1870, The election for Delegate to Congress from Utah and for some local officers took place thronghout this Territory yesterday. It was a novel and interesting event in at least two parti- ub culars, namely—the existence of an opposition ticket nominated by the Gentiles, and the practi- oal inauguration of the female franchise. There was much illegal voting, as there always is in Utah, priacipally from the fact that many of the Mormons, never having taken out their full nata- ralization papers, are still alien residents; but the ‘. illegal voting yesterday was not confined exclu- “sively to the ‘saints.’ --“ weukened their cause and their reputatian in the eyes of all good cilizens by the fictitious strength they put into the ballot box. Of course the interest centred on the candi- dates for Delegate to Congress.. The present Delegate, Captain Wm, H. Hooper, was put for- ward for re-election by the Mormons, and Gene- | ral George R. Maxwell, ono of the federal officials here, was the standard bearer of the Gentiles. Each was popular enough among his partisans, The Mormons had no platform of principles. , Hitherto they have had no necessity for a plat- form nor for any of the ordinary concomitants of a campaign in polities. The “presiding priest. hood” made the nominations, and the people were expected to vote unanimously for the Church’s candidates. The general principles of the whole Mormon system form the only platform upon which any Mormon candidate would be allowed to stand, end they include a secret and solemn oath which ever incites to treason against the govern- ment. The platform of the liberal or Gentile party expressed loyalty to the government, reverence for the constitution, obedience to the laws, opposition to the whole Mormon system as conatituting an uawarrantable hierarchy, and especially to polygamy, and favored the develop- ment of the mineral wealth of Utah as animportant branch of industry. The principles of the op- posing parties were as distant from each other ae the poles; but as society is constituted here the Party representing the genius of American instita- tions was much in tho minority. The population of Utah constitutes, to all intents and purposes, an alien or a hostile element in the midst’ of free America. The Mormons held no campaign’ meetiogs—the machinery of the Church rendered that uonecossary; but the Gentiles did hold meet- ings, both in Salt Lake City and in several of the settlements. Tho holding of such meetings is a new event in the political history of Utah. That 5 event shows that loyal American citizens are de- termined to assert their rights, and is evidence of the revolat on of ideas concerning theocratic rule ., that has been inaugurated in the Territory. ’ The election passed off very quietly. ‘Lhe polls were open from sunrise until sunset, There were tive. election precincts in Sait Lake City. ‘The o Gentiles made no demonstration on election day, bat the Mormons had several bands of music marching about town from morning until evening, and a number of wagons running all day convey- ing women to and from the polls. Sideed, the principal feature of the whole election was the novelty of women voting. Some wen walked with ~ the women and brought them into the polling places like so many cattle. Women in Utah ave often treated more like eattle than like ladies, Heber C. Kimball, who, before his death, was uext in authority to Brigham Yoong, used to cail his women his “herd of ‘3. Other men brought their women in wagons, some of the women bringing their babies’ with them. — Polyg- amy was thus publicly paraded through the streets of this city and the settlements, In other cases women went to the polls themselves, sepa- rately and in companies; but in most cases they were attended by some masculine Mormon. Sev- eral of the sturdy saints were kept busy through- out the day running to and fro with wagons drum- ming up the sisters in the different wards and showing them how to yote their ticket. Many of the women and mauy of the men wnom I saw vote did not seem to comprehend what they were do- ing ; they simply put into the ballot box the ticket that was handed them. It was very generally re- marked that most of the women in Salt Lake City of refinement. of feeling did not approve of the femate franchise, for they abstained from voting. Among the saints who voted in the morning were Brigham Young and fiye of his women, whom he brought with him. They were Clara Decker and, f think, her sister Lucy; Susan Sneive- Jey, Lucy Bigelow and Naamah, ‘These are well known to be among the most obedient or sub- servient of all hia women, which may account for their accompanying him, Amelia, his favorite N concubiue, and Miss Eliza R. Snow voted sepa- rately atterwards, av did also other meimbers of his harem. There was quite as ‘presidential party’ of feminine and masentine members thus playing their practical part in politics at that the morning. period of After the prophet and his accompanying ccnerbines came one of his daugbters by Lucy Decker— namely, Panny Thatcher—attended by her hua- band. Brigham H. Young, the Prophet’s nephew, came with his daughter Seraph. At the manici- pal electi jon in February laet, just after the Fe- male Franchise bill was sigved, Mies Seraph i mortalized herself by beiag the first sister saint to take advantage of it. This was noticed at the time, particularly as Seraph, true to the finer feel- ings of her sex, was known to be opposed to the disgusting system of polygamy, which has caused go much contention and misery among women. The four wives of Hiram Clauson, Brigham’s chief son-in-law—Ellen, Margaret, Alice and Hmeline— vame in afterwards, one by one, and deposited their ballots. Some of the apostles brought some a with them, and others came alone, their concubines coming sepa- ratelysome before and some atier them. Orson Pratt, the chief champion of polyg- amy, brought with him Marian Ross, his most de- voted and enthusiastic concubine. Marian was once a servant to Orson’s lawful wile, and has now succeeded her in Orson’s estimation. Nearly all the women he has had “sealed” to him were ser- vants to his injured and discarded wife. Most of the married men among the lesser lights who re- Joive in the practice of polygamy brought one or more of their women with them. of their wom Other women came alone or with their sister neighbors at such hours as suited their convenience More than one-third of the votes were cast by women. The total number polled by both men and women in Salt Lake City was about 4,000; and it is estimated, “from the returns thus far received from ‘some of the settlements that the vote cast throughout the Territory will be about 20,000. Of course, the most of tiem were given for the Mormon delegate, Many of these were undoubtedly illegal,and on this ground the Gen- place Maxwell in his seat in Cougress, Maxwell recelved, so far as is known at present, abou Votes, of which over 800 were polled in Cr which is a strictly Gentile town. Itts said.that the census will not show Corinne to have much more than 809 residents, and that more than ong halt the number of votes returned from there were tion that Corinne cast many iilegal os a k= well. Thus, the Mormons and’ the Gertie eas equal in respect of the fact of iNegal voting, however they may be as to the number of such illegal votes. Contiles in Utah need to be singularly circumspect in everything ; for the Mor- mous are qu to catch aud make the most “ if tiles imagine they can have Hooper set aside and stuifod into the ballot box. It is beyoud a ques of any irregularities of the” Gentiles, just as many of the Gentiles are disposed te do the samo with reference to tie Mormons. The system of voting in Utah is directly at variance with the genius of the ballot. Before the ticket is put The “sinners”? at Corinne | into the ballot box it is numbered, a correspond- ing number ‘6 pl: opposite the name of the voter ag it is written on the poll list, so that the church authorities can tell how every one bas voted. ‘This record can be used against Mormons who might vote againet candidates put forward by the “presiding priesthood.” Under the reign of terror which has prevailed in Utah .the effect of this system has been to preventa tree and iat expression ¢f opinioa. proach to¥ - deneodetes of Troughe rh ainong the peo- ple has been followed by pergecttion, There never will be a fair and legal election here until the ballot is made, as it'should be, secret, and a proper registry law is put in operation.

Ata meeting of the Executive Committee of the Evangelical Alliance of the United States, held August 5, 1870, the following resolution among others was unanimously adopted:— Resolved, That the Exeeutive Committee of the Evangelical Alliance of the United States with great reluctance yield to the expressed desire of the Alliances in Great Britain, France, Germany, Holiand and Switzerland, that the General Con- ference which was to be held in New York Sep- tember 22, 1870, be postponed on account of the war in Europe, which renders their attcndance impracticable; and the Conference is hereby post- oned, at least for the preseut year,and until such ime as the providence of God shall open the way for its successful convocation A Million of Dollars for Church Buildings. Rev. George I. King, D.

A share may be subscribed by an individual or by a con- grogation or by a combination of two or more in- ividuals or” congregations, ‘The memorial churches built in our cities, as well as those on the frontier, may be included for their full cost, the gifts of the congregations who are to occupy them also being counted. The plan is to ereet $1,000,000 worth of new churches in localities East or West where they are most needed. ‘The Nathan Murder and the Jewish Domestic Creed. [From the Jewish Messenger.)

The place is known to the world of New Yorkers as the ‘‘Honse of the Pauliet Fathers,” Whoever comes to New York and is thrown in contact with the most intellectual classes of Ca- tholics is sure to hear of this church and monas- tery and Father Hecker, its founder. It is a haridsome stone . structure, built im modern Romanesque style, surrounded by beautiful grounds and commanding a view of Central Park. Among the bright flower parterres within the enelosure can frequently be seen, tending and watering the plants or culling flowers for the altars, the black cassocked forms of the high bred, intellectnal priests and monks, whose home and headquarters are here. ‘They are all, with two or ‘three exceptions, converts to Catholicity; they are all mea of culture and men whose vaulting ambition and aims would be high and daring were they not moulded to the nobler end of self-sacrifice. They are men to whom the religion of Jesus has become the ro- mance ot their li Most of them are from fami- lies of ample means, whose sons could command the usual gratifications of young Americans of the wealthier classes; but who have forsaken every ordinary ambition for the nobler one of treading the thorny path of self-abnegation as soldiers of the Cross.

But isaac was not a man to keep his mind from embracing the whole wide range of human thought while working at his loaves. He nailed his algebra to the wall above his trough, that he might train his intellect while at his work. Not long after this we find Isaac Hecker forsaking his business and making his appearance among the seckers of wisdom at Brook Farm. Here, with Hawthorne and Curtis, C. A, Dana and Ripley, he speculated upon the delusion of arranging their lives upon a better system of society than tbat with which they found themselves surrounded. But after nine months’ abode among them he left, no wiser or better off or nearer the solution of his problem than wien he came. He experimented farther with Thoreau with no better success; re- turned to his brothers and their business still no happier or wiser. HOW HE BECAME 4 CATHOLIC. Strange to say, a controversy of a very heated character, and violent attacks upon the Catholic Chureh first led him to consider the claims of Rome to a hearing.

National Camp Meeting—The Methodist Gathering at Des Plaines, El. Des Praines, August 10, 1870. The M-thodist camp meeting, under the auspi- ces of the Methodist National Vamp Meeting Aszo- ciation, has commenced, and is being held at Des Plaines, distant about fifteen miles from Chicago, on the grounds of the association, and constitutes the third of a series and the last of the present season and for the year. The first of these “times of refreshing’? was held at Hamilton, Mass., com- mencing June 21, and although the attendance was not so large as was anticipated it was never- theless considered a success. The second was held at Oakington, Me., commencing July 12, and was attended by a very numerous assemblage of the devout, and although the heat was extreme 104 in the shade, it also gave satisfaction to those who attended. The present meeting is the last of to, not only by the members of the large and in- fluential body of Methodists throughout the coun- try, but also by those of other denominations whose temperament and belief incline them to join in the undertaking. Various opinions are freely expressed as to the usefulness or advis- ability of these gatherings, their opponents arguing that they too often present an oppor- tunity for riot and debauchery, while their sap- porters maintain that the good effected infinitely outweighs the necessary alloy that is sure to be present wherever a promiscuous assem- blage of human beings is to be found. However this may be there can be uo doubt that the camp meeting was desigued originally to meet exigen- cies and a state of things which now no longer exist. They took their rise at atime when they were to many almost the only means of spiritual teaching—before the date of railways, newspa- pers and cheap books. Whether they ought now to disappear as things of the past which have served their day and generation is a question which each sect should settle for themselves. The present association is made up principally of clergymen of the Eastern States, and haye for their officers the following:— President—Rev. John $. Inskip. sident—Rey. N.

A small, neat depot haa been built on the railroad, near the grounds, where a good shelter will be secured for those waiting for trains, and a corral will furnish ample accommodation for ie! who prefer the more primitive mode of reaching the place b: means of their own conveyances. Mr. George F.

All the board tents. have been rented or sold, and there are about fifty canvas tents alre: put up, with board floors, which will be rented to those who may de- sire them. In case of cold or a storm, two mammoth tents have been provided—viz.: the tabernacle and the boarding tent. The tabernacle is a tent which was bought by the National Association at a cost of $1,800, to be used for public services in stormy. weather, and proved ot service atthe Oakington camp mect- ing. It stands at the extreme end of Ashbury averme, and its dimensions are ninety feet le by 190 feet long, with a pitch of sixty-five feet in height. The whole is well sustained with strong ropes, and is capable of accommodating from 3,000 to 6,000 people. The boarding tent has been enlarged with dining rooms, so situated as to forma hollow square, ninety feet each way, with the cooking departments in the centre, provured a small piece of land, and began preach- i and begging for their house and order, Twelve years hava rolled away since then, aud the success of their mission is seen in the hand- some church and monastery on Fifty-ninth street.
