oat ‘THE MORMON MUSS Herald Special Report from Sait Lake. “THE THREATENED CONFLICT AVERTED Brigham’s Lieutenant General Eats His Big Words and Backs Down. ‘Unele Sam’s Muskets Too Much for the Mormon Thunderers. LET US HAVE PEACE! Sat Laxg, July 4, 1871. q Up to the moment of sending this despatch there has been no serious disturdance in the city, and the prospects are that nothing will occur. We escaped a serious conflict by a hair's breadth. Mr. Wells, Third President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Mayor of the city, and so-called fLicutenant General of the Nauvoo Legion, ordered out his troops in contravention of the derms of Acting Governor Black's order. In all his actions he exhibited a rebellious spirit, @ssumed high airs snd talked about being weady to be arrested. The situation was criti- eal. At sundown yesterday the Mormons fwere determined to parade in spite of the ‘proclamation, and the United States officials were equally as determined to enforce the flaws, Acting Governor Black called upon Colonel De Trobriand, commanding Camp onglas, to send to the city three companies ‘of infantry, one of cavalry and a company of rtillery, and there was every reason to expect loodshed if the Mormons did not back down. Martial law was to have been proclaimed if Bhe civil anthorities could not enforce the SGovernor’s order, and the troops were pre- red for service. Last evening a committee, ponsisting of Colonel De Trobriand, Lieutenant jColonel Morrow, of the Thirteenth infantry, ‘ajor Hampstead, United States Attorney, and Colonel Patrick, United States Marshal, oe in an informal way on Mayor (or jeutenant General) Wells, and repre- jented to him that he was acting in vio- dation of the laws, and that bloodshed ‘would ensue if his illegal ordera were carried yout, as the United States troops would entirely isperse any unlawfal parade of armed militia- ymen. The Mayor carried a stiff upper lip for pome time, and even had the audacily to sug- gest that the Governor's proclamation should be withdrawn.. The Committee promptly memarked that they did not come from the §Governor ; that they were acting in the interest lof peace, and that the Acting Governor had planted himself upon the prociamation, which pra not at all likely to be changed or recalled. THE MORMONS BAOK DOWN. Mr, Wells then began to talk billious. General Morrow told him that the life of one oan would not justify him in carrying out his jorders just to show his independence. Wells remarked that he thought the United States officials were playing a game of bluff, at which WDnited States Attorney Hempstead called him ffo account and assured him that nothing was pore earnest than the determination of the vernment to execute the laws, and that the Dats not a street conflict, were to settle the gmatter of the legality of the order, telling him jebat legal orders must be obeyed. A MORMON CONFERENCE. After a long conversation, in which Colonel je Trobriand told the Lieutenant General that i there was a parade the consequence should ibe on his head, to which was added rigoronsly remarks of all the other members of the Com- fhrittee, Mr. Wells finally concluded to call {@ special meeting of the City Council and the Jeaders of the Mormon Church, who are the power behind the throne, to take into consid- ‘gration the whole matter. The conference Yproke up with the clear understanding that if hhe Nauvoo Legion, or the militia, as it is called, wore out to-day they would be arrested or dis- persed by powder and ball. It seems the lormon Council met, for early this morning lonel Detrobriand was officially informed Mayor Wells that the orders calling out the \anilitia were countermanded. UNITED STATES TROOPS IN THE CITY. Notwithstanding this De Trobriand, in obedi- nce to the call of acting Governor Black, marched into the city at eight o'clock this jmorning with three companies of the Thir- eons infantry and Major Gordon's company pf the Second cavalry, headed by the full regi- mental band. The movement of the troops pad o quieting effect on the militia officials, Who at once took measures to prevent the poilitia from appearing armed. Those who Qould took off their uniforms and appeared in Qivilian attire. The s reets were soon cleared pf armed Nauvoo men, who flourished very ex- Rensively in the early hours of the morning. ‘hose who bad come in from the country and mf Pould not throw off their uniforms were dis- pributed in the procession so they did not show. De Trobriand’s troops were drawn up a block @way from Main street and kept close in hand, but the Nauvoo lieutenant general had come fo terms, and there was no necessity for their presence after the procession as disbanded, when the troops marched — to Camp Donglas. In addition to the NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1871—WITH SUPPLEMENT, {n a large number of deputies, and there were two or three thousand miners ready to sustain the authorities, THE EFFECT OF A FIGHT. If a Gght had occurred it would have been bloody, but disastrous to the Church, A sig- nificant fact connected with the affair was the absence of Brigham Young, although he was officially announced as President of the day in the Mormon celebration. He is never proml- nent on the field of battle. His lieutenants have all the credit of backing down, while Brigham doubtless started the game. THE MORMON AND GENTILE PROOESSIONS. The Mormon and Gentile processions to-day were the finest ever seen in the Territory. The former was very large, being swelled by people from outlying settlements ordered in for the occasion. The display of advertising and decoration wagons, illustrating trade, commerce and the mines, was splendid, the mines and miners being shown in force. The Thirteenth Infantry band ‘led the liberal column. The streets were thronged and good order generally prevailed, though the militia felt humiliated, and the entire body of Saints were greatly displeased at the turn of affairs. WHAT A MORMON EDITOR ORATOR THINKS. The Mormons celebrated at the Tabernacle, where Cannon, the orator editor of the Church organ, the News, was bitter on the federal officials, whose day, he said, would soon come. There was a great crowd there. CELEBRATION BY THE APOSTATES. At the Liberal Institute, founded by the Godbeites or apostates, thera were exercises consisting of an oration by General Maxwell, apoem by Nat Stein, of Corinne; speeches by Messrs, Lyman Hempstead, Godbe, Toohy, Colonel Joslyn and Harrison, and music by the military band and the choir. Two thou- sand people were present. The enthusiasm was intense. THE FIRST FAIR VICTORY FOR THE GOVERN- MENT. The victory to-day was the first ever fairly won in Utah, The supremacy of the United States laws over the decrees of the Mormon Church was for the first time fully vindicated. Nothing short of a deadly conflict induced the Church leaders to surrender their arro- gant claims, Republicanism finally van- quished theocracy. We have taken a ‘new departure.” To-night there are to be two dis- plays of fireworks, but there will be no trouble, it is thought. PORTO RICO. Election of Deputies to the Spanish Cortes.

Nocedal, to the efiect that the Chamber should congratulate the Holy Father on the occasion of the twenty-filth anniversary of the Pontiticate, ana Join m the sympathetic manifestauons of the world toward the illustrious head of the Roman faith, gave rise Wo a regretab.c incident. After having eulogized Catholicism and indicated the services which it had rendered the honorable gentleman made political allusions in which he accused the existing demo- cratic government of Spain of not being as liberal as the Chureh, The Minister of the Interior took up the words and refused to join in the proposal from the moment a political question was mixed up with it. He accused the ultramontanes, wno now plead in favor of the infailivility of the Pope, of having called His Holiness, when he wished to reconcile the doctrines of the Charch with the requirements of modern ctvilizatten, a mitred Robesplerre, M. Nocedai replied that he had not spoken politics; that he accepted all the decisions taken by the Po; and those who did not do 80 were not Catho- lics.. Admiral Topete wished the motion to be divided into two parts. M. Valera was unwilling that In a country where the liberty of worship was rociaimed a Chamber should make a public pro- ession of Catholicism, and advised to have the pro- psition rejected. Admiral Topete’s suggestion, on elng put to the vote, was thrown out by 441 to 42; the Carlists did not take part in the proceed- ing. Count de Cangua-Arguelles demanded that the encyclical letter of Pias IX. to the bishops should read, The President Sanctioned that step, but M. Martos opposed it, maintaining that no documents could be read from tae tribune unless they were parliamentary or of the nature of petitions to the ing. M. Olo- vaga having supported the Minister, a great tumult ensued. Count de Cangua-Arguelles and M. Nunez de Arce exchanged some words which were Jost in the noise. The latter assumed an irritating attitude toward the former, who, furious, left his seat and rushed toward bis contradictor, whom he seized by the arm. Some of th Deeputies then Inter- fered and probabl. revented a scene of personal violence.

Colonel Camina, Aide-de-Camp to the Minister of War, seeing the Marsnal sur- Tounded, rushed to his succor, but was roughly repulsed by the Duke de la Torre. A deputy, M.

Allerwal explanations were given and reproduced at the pub- lic one held in the evening; the two members wno caused the disgraceful scandal declared themselves satistied, and stated that ao blows had passed.

CHICAGO, SL, July 5, 1871, There was no formal celebration of our national anniversary in this city yesterday, but the private celebrations on family and individuat account could be counted by the thousands, NING OF THE LASALLE STREET TUNN#L.. The formal opening of the Lasalle street tunnel Was a public event of mu€h interest to the city of Chicago; but this, of course, was only incidental to the day, and formed no part of its historical char- acter. The contract for this tunnel, which passes under the Uhicago River from the north to tue south divisions of the city, was awarded to Mesars. Cham- bers and McBean, Uctober 20, 1860; work on it was commenced the 34 of November following, and it was finished July 1, 1871. The total length of the tunnel is 1,890 feet, and the total cost $494,490, The exercises at the opening consisted of a formal pas- sage through the tunnel by the Board of Public Works, followed by a banquet at the Briggs touse, at which speeches were made by many of the alder- men. THE FOURTH THROUGHOUT THE NORTHWEST. ‘rhroughont the Northwest the day was celebrated more generally than on any previous occaston for many years. ‘The most noted celebration occurred at Galesburg, Il., where Senator Trumbull was orator. SENATOR TRUMBULL’S SPEECH, After speaking in the usual strain of all orators on this occasion, he instanced the wrongs the Amert- can people bad borne during the rebellion from the monarchical Powers of Europe, aud said when the rebellion ended the votce of @ single Senator carried terror and dismay iuto the courts and Palaces. ‘The Joint High Commission owned tho Wrong of depredating on our commerce and agreed to pay for it, and he rejoiced that the American people had the patience to await such a cousumima- tion. He rejoiced that we did not go to war with a nation of the same race, language and religion, that 1s doing so much for civilization and Christianity. Re alluded to the departed glories of Rome and France, caused by mad ambition and flerce oppres- sion, He shen patd a glowing tribute to the laws of the United States that accorded justice and pro- tection to all alike. He expressed himself decidedly in favor of the elevation of women and hoped the day was not distant when women would receive the same pay for the same service a3 men. The right of women, he continued, to partictpate in the govern- ment of the country whenever they ask for it cannot be denied, and a nation would be all the better and purer for their participation. He then spoke of the rights vouchsafed to minorities and the functions of the different departments of the government, execu tive, legislative and judicial, giving a review of the system of the government. He expressed his belief inthe power of the government to suppress zebel- lon under the constitution, it giving unlimited power in such event. He condemned the exercise of the war power in time of peace. In times of peace a man should be tried by a jury; in time of war an armed rebel should be shot. OPPOSED TO TOO MUCH BXECUTIVE POWER. The Senator said that attempts had been made to clothe the executive with too much power, and that centratization was the great danger of the republic, Local governments are safeguards of liberty, while the federal’ goverament ia only needed to protect the citizen. Liberal and kindly action on the part ofthe general government was needed to heal the wounds of the South, The Fainer of the Oountry haa departed from the principles of the Declaration of Independence by tolerating slavery, and from that course sprung war, deaolation ana rapine, The country, he continued, is now free from the stain of slavery; we have a nation of freeinen, without regard to race or color, and the constitution 1s now in harmony with the Declaration of Independence— all men now being enutled to life, Uberty and the pursuit of happiuess. THE KVILS OF THE LATE WAR. ‘The Senator couciuded by saying the evils of the late War were brought about by a departure from the principles of liberty; therefore, vow yourselves and teach your children to wage eternal hostility against all men and nations who opposed the doc- trine, “Ail men are created equal.” THE FOURTH AMONG THE BLUENOSES, Reception by the American Consul—An Intor- utional Dinver at the International Hotel. * Hawirax, N.

THE CONNECTICUT BORGIA. Reticence of Mrs. Shermnu, the Alleged Pol- soner—Autecedents of the Accused—Inter- view with a Son of One of Her Victims. BiRMInGHam, July 5, 1871. The public sentiment here 18 setting in strongly against Mrs. Sherman, the alleged poisoner ot three husbands and eleven children, Visiting her at her comlortable residence I was coriially received, bat she positively declined, by advice of counsel, to re- fer to the case in any Manner, as the examination before Justice Platt is set for to-morrow moruing. She is about forty-five years of age, a brunette, converses fluently and is remarkably emotional in her intercourse with visitors. If guilty, she is @ strange being. The train to-day brought here the mother-in-law of Sherman and Cornelius W. Struck, a son by @ previous marriage of Mra Sherman's first husband, Edward M. Struck, for- merly @ policeman of the Thirty-second precinct. Young Struck, who was a soldier in the late war, tells me that his father married the woman in New York about 1844, when my tnformant was two years old, and they lived together about eighteen years, seven chilaren being the issue, ali of whom died, except John W. Strack, who is now in Boston. Struck senior died suddenly, abont 1863, while Cornelius was in the army, and the children followed nim to early graves. He is very careful in expressing an opinion, pro or con, as to her guilt, To-day he called upon his step- mother, who rushed into his arms and kissed him Passionately, although there has been a coidness between them for some time, Struck, Jr., is here to watch the proceedings merely, and declares that he will never consent to have the remains of his kindred, who are buried in Manhattanville, disin- terred to examine the stomachs. Lydia Struck, tne first issue of the marriage, was atthe tune of her death betrothed in marriage to @ minister, Who now offictates in Yorkville, and Mrs, Snerman declares he was continually near her daughter tn her tliness and administered medicines left by the physicians. He has since married a schoolmate of the deceased young lady, FATAL ACCIDENT AT FREDERICK.
