NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1871.—W EUROPE. The Approaching Meeting Be- tween the Three Emperors. THE NEW HOLY ALLIANCE. The Royal Party in Ireland Entertained by the Knights of St. Patrick. THE WASHINGTON TREATY AGA Colonel Rossel’s Arraignment Be- fore a Court Martial. The Cunard steamstip (nina, from Liverpool August 5, via Queenstown August 6, arrived at this port yesterday with two days’ later mails, THE NEW HOLY ALLIANCE. ‘The “ppreaching lnterview Between the Em- perers—How tke Conservatives im Austria Like it—De Beast at Work—A Rival of Bis- marck—Italy aud France, Russia, Austria and Prassia—The Iotornational Society Ac- tive. 9 VIENNA, July 81, 1871. An-ola, well-known end consummate Austrian @iplomat 1s said to have remarked that Napoleon JIL, foresecing his own dethronement must come ®eoner or later, and being anxious to deave Italy—first and most cherisned oft eprng of his unification policy—in proper hands, appointed te Saxon, De Beust, guar- @éan-of that very revolutionary peninsula, The Politicians here who accept this theory assert that De Beust has been faithful to this trust, and ihat alter having sacrifved in its discharge the dignity ‘and-henor of Austria, has bent all his energies to get the government of France to support tne policy of transferring the capital of Italian unity to Rome; ani, further, that under the pretext of cementing A DURABLE PEACE, im the common interest of all the European Powers, he pretends toatvempt negotiating a cordial under- standing between Prussia, Austria and Russia. With this view he will bring about a meeting between the three sovereigns of those powers which formerly composed the Holy Ailance. The expedient is not badly contrived, it is said, provided he can manage to hoodwink nis master and the imperial family in regard to his partiality for the Court of Florence. M. de Beust is a good deal disturbed by the conservatism of the Hohenwarth Ministry. He perceives the daily growth and expansion of a conservative policy, that the Catholic agitation increases, and that the Em- peror, while seriously thinking of the dangers of nis empire, shows anything but sympathy for the Ital- dan movement. This state oi things necessitates cantion on the part of M. de Benst, who tn reviving the name of Holy Alliance, fancies he can the better Screen HIS SECRET DESIGNS. But he must know that an alliance between Prus- fla, Russia and Austria im 1871 can never become the holy.alliance of 1815. The two former have be- come warm supporters of those modern iaeas for which they expressed horror in 1816, Both have ‘put in practice the Napoleonic ideas against which they then fought. Both have co-operatea and consented to act, which should make the Nesselrodes, the Hardenbergs and the Metternichs shudder in their graves. Therefore the Catholics of the empire are warned against the manceuvre of De Beust, who, knowing that Prussia aud Russia prefer Freemasonry to the Papacy, Matters himself ne will succeed m getting them to recognize openly the favorite work of Napoleon Iil. He will uy to act the part of a jocomotive pushing from bebind, while having the appearance of being Crawn along by the train in front. The Chancellor Benst has, it is weil known, on many occasions shown a liiendly leaning toward THE NEW GERMANIC EMPIRE ind the new subalpine kingdom. Russia under- nds periectly well that Lhe more she wars against the Catholic Church the more she aids italy aud weakens France, thus advancing the execation of her favorite project—namely, the compiete expul- sion of this latter power from the East. The con- servatives, therefore, see in Le Buest an enemy who Dies all hus arrows at France and Rome; are not at ali disposed to be fascinaved by the name of “Holy Alliance,’’ and tremble with rage and shame at the thought tnat tbe wily Chancellor has already ENTANGLED AUSTRIA in the meshes of his conspiracy. Their attention is also attracted to the Internationa! Society, whose jans are strangely in coniormity with those of Von ust la some respects, It is very strange, but cer- tainly true, that Itaiy aids that terrible society by money and all the means in her power. We know tha, tue other day ihe Grand Orient of Italy heid an extraordinary meeting im Rome snd unanimously agreed that Kome could hever become the capital of italy definitively anti!

Payici’s Hell—A Brilliant coneThe Lofty Oves of the Land in Precestion. Dvetoy, August 3.1871. ‘The event of yeateraty, and, indeed, of theweek, was te investiture of Lord Southwell and™ Lord Powerscourt a8 Kuights of the Nost Ilustr:9ps Order of St. Patrick, fhe history of tnis order iso very peculiar one, It had fis origin in the poiftical’ dificuiues which Kogland experienced in the gov- | ernment of Ireland during the jatter part of tne eiguicouth cguiugy, Thy ayyepument of ibe Eur of Shelborne, with the view w conciliate the more powerlal peers of Ireland, reoommended the King, after THE DUNGANNON DECLARATION IN THE YEAR 1782, to manifest hs regard for this coantry by conferring some personal mark of distinction upon a limited number of Irish nobles. It was thought better to create an Irish order than to apply to the Irish peers the decorations of the three existing British orders, There were two orders of England and one of Scotland, and, to say the least, it was a grievance that chere was no Irish order, particularly so as It was @ rare occurrence for Irish noblemen to be aggregated vo the orders of Great Britain. ‘The rose ‘Was the emblem of the Bath; the thistle faithfully represented heroic Scotland, and the shamrock was most appropriately made tue badge of the NATIONAL ORDER OF IRELAND. On the 5th of February, 1783, by letters patent passed under the Great Seal of Ireland, the Order of St, Patriok was created. It counts on its head roll ‘No less than three English sovereigns—George IIL, its founder; George IV. and William IV. The Prince of Wales is also a member, and Prince Arthur Patrick was imstalled on his Orst visit to Ireland. Of the twenty-two Knights who constituted the Brotherhood at the accession of Queen Victoria only three are now living—the Marquts of Clanricarde, Marquis Conyngham and the Earl of Howth. PREVIOUSLY TO THE INVESTITURE, Jast evening, there was a grand Oanquet oF the Knighw of che Order, their ladies and other invited gnests in Dublin Castle. The banquet nall, which was adjacent to St. Patrick’s Hall, in which the ceremony was held, was richly decorated for the occasion with flowers and evergreens. The Lord Lieatenant, as (rand Master of the Order, proposed, according to custom, the toast of the health of the two nobiemen who were to be admitted to the Order of St, Patrick. His Excliency referred to the splendid pageant which cook piace in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1868 on the occasion of the installation of the Prifte of Wales, Referring to Prince Artaur Patrick ne said that, besides his other nigh qualities, hts name was especially dear to Ireland, not only because he bears the name of the greatest soldier tuat THIS COUNTRY HAS PRODUCED, but because he also bears the name of the greatest saint that belongs to this island. The Ancient Order of the Thistle had recently been conferred on one ‘Who Was present, one who was honored, not only on account of hisown merit but because he was the husband of tne Princess Louise—he meant, of course, the Marguis of Lorn. And the Marquis and his fair bride were observed to blush at this eulo- ginm of the Lord Lieutenant and the tncident made them for a few minutes objects of genera: interest. Apropos of the youthful pair, I may say, by way of parenthesis, that they have abandoned their tn- tended trip to Killarney, at the advice, it is thought, of the Queen, ‘The ceremony of investiture, as I have said, was held in St. Patrick’s Hall, Dublin Castle, not, as heretofore, in St, Patrick’s Cathedral; and this “change of scene” requires some explanation. Formerly the ceremony was a religious one; ROW it 4s purely secular. The order has undergone & change in its constitution, consequent upon the dis- establishment of the Church. The Protestant Pri. mate, the Archbishop of Dublin, and the Dean of St. Patrick's heretofore performed the mony, but last night they were mere spect tors, and watched the proceedings ordinary visitors. {he elimination of the religious element from the ceremony was deemed necessary in consequence of the separation of Church and State in tius part of Her Majesty’s dominions. For- merly nove but Protestauts were elected Knights of St, Patrick; now the honor is open to persous of all religious denomina‘ions, Lord Sonthwell is the Arst elected Kuight who belongs to the Catholic re- ligion. The Earl of Fingall, it ts true, was the first Catholic nobleman who belonged to the order; but @ dispensation was accorded to him, which pre- vented his participation in a ceremony of a religious character, There are now, I believe, four Catholic Knights, two of whom have embraced the Cathultc religion since their election. ST. PATRICE’S HALL last night presented a brilliant scene. From pillar to pillar of the galleries at either end of the hail hung iestoons of evergreens and flowers, among which were numerous red and white roses, Around the hall, between the mirrors on the one side and the windows on the other, smaller festoons of @ similar description depended, which were grace- fully finished off at the ends with blue silx ribbons. Shortly atter ten o’clock the pordons of the nall which were railed off mn to be filled with ladies, noblemen and gentiemen in full costume, who had been invited to be present as specta- tors of the ceremony. When the spectators were all assembled the knights’ ladies were conductea by the Chamberlain from the entrance to their seats. At the sound of a pone tne band piayed the national anthem, a trumpet call was blown by the herald: and the Princess Louise entered the hall conducted by the Prince Letningen. Immediately after them, iu procession, came the Countess Spencer, leaning on the arm of the Marquis of Lorn. Then followed the procession of tbe Grand Master. The Ulster King-at-Arms then retired, and at @ trampet cail returned, needlag with his officers, @ procession formed of the Prince of Wales, Prince arthur Patrick, Lord Gronard, Lord Dufferin, Charlemont, &c., each wearing the azure the star and the collars of the ‘They seated themselves round @ table in front of the dais, on which was the chair of the Grand Master.

The Lor Lieutenant afterward gave a state ball in the Castle, which was attended by a brilliant company. THE WASHINGTON TREATY, Up in the British Parliament. The following is a synopsis of the discussion which took place in the English House of Commons on the 4th instant:— Sir C. ADDERLEY, on a motion for papers, raised his long threatened discussion on the Washington ton His first care was to show that it was uot late for the House to pronounce an opinion, and after en ee | ail idea of reflecting on the man- ner in which the Commissioners had carried out thelr instractions, he gave @ general history of the mauner in whieh the conferences had been brought about. On this part of the case he remarked that it was unfortunate England should have been put in the position of a petittoner in a matter which was su >= stantially more important to the United States. Dis- cussing hext the various claims disposed of by the Commissioners, he observed, with regard to the Alabama claims, that, however valuable the new rules of international obligation might be for tne future, to permit past transactions vo be judged by them was a0 act of maguanimity approactiing to fol- ly, He complained next of the prominence and pre- cedence given to these claims, of the limit of date put on the Britis mercantile claims, and the omission to obtain any satisfacuon for the “#entan claims.”” On the Fishery claims, with the settlement of which he was not on the whole dissatisfied, Sir Charles dwelt with some minuteuess, and called on the gov- ernment lor an explanation of tts policy on these points, expressing at the same time a hope that the result Of the negotiation might be to cement the kindly retations between the two countries. Sur ROUNDELL PaLueR, while matotaining that no sacrifice short of national honor woulu be too great vo produce the harmonious result desired by Sir O. Adderiey, was quite satisfied that the treaty con- talued nothing which was compromising to the na- tional honor or to the honor of Lord Palmerston’s government, of which ne had been the chief legal adviser. And this led him to defend at length Me conduct of that government, which, Ne asserted, had maintained an honest, fair ‘and consistent neu: traiity, and he was engaged on this theme when the morning sitting came to ap end, At the evening sitting the members who had mo- he paper gave Way to enable LL PALMEK to Continue his speeoh. Re Went on to canvass minutely the various attempts Inade to settle the diferencés arising out of the acts of (he Alabama and other vessels of the same class. Though be etiil coariuued to think that Lord Pal- Merston’s governmeut had strictly fulfilled its Obligations, he did not disapprove of the point being referred to arbitration. But he greatiy pre- ferred this treaty to the convention negotiated by Lord Stanley and Mr. Reverdy Jobnson, and in an exhaustive discusston of the new rules'laid down by ithe showed that the treaty was more likely than the convention to lead to a Onal setttement of all the unceriain and controverted points ot inter. ational law wuich had divided the two countries. Sir S. NoRTHCOTE, as one of the Commissioners, Geprecaied the production of their correspondence With the home government, not becuuse there had ever been any substantial difference of opinioa, but because It Was inexpcdient to tight the daily battles of the Commission over again; for every question which had been settled had been very fully dis- eussed, and the concessions ob each side had been mutual, Alludiug to Lis oWn pecullar position oa the Commission, Sir Staford said that though his Personal and private opinions would have been in aby case subordinate to lie public ducy, he cordially accepted the arrangement, and felt proud of the share he had had in making the dreaty, Replying to sur ©, Adderley’s criticisms, he im detuti expinined how, theugnh the Fishery question Was the difference which first suggested the Com- muesion, it very soon became manifest that tt w: impossible to patch up this guerre: except in con- necuon With & permanent settlement of tue Alabama and otper claims. And in defending the particular mode of seitlement he dweit on the addition to the power and strength of Kugiand which must result from thf knowledge thatin any war we mught be engaged in Awerica would be friendly, In regard to the Canudiau part of the Treaty be asserted em- phatically Uiat ihe interests of the ominion had been most care(ully guarded, and that a very ood bargain had been made jor the colonists. No. fonbt ‘the Commissioners. had been utterly an- able to obtain the renewal of the Keciprocity ‘Treaty, but the increasing infuence and iree trade ts of the Westera States would in time secure for Canada all the advantages of that Treaty.

Palmer's vindication of the friendliness of the Brit- ish government during the civil war, as instauces of wi he cited our conduct with regard to the San Juan boundary and the Ohinese flotilla, and then traced the history of the unsnecessful negoula- tion which fad preceted this Treaty, He replied se) ‘acim to the points raised by Sir C, Adderley, vin- dicating on each head the settlement arrive.! at, With the exception of the Fenian clatms, which he admit tea ought, 1f possible, to have been inciuded in tue ing a and he admitted, too, that a conc bad been made to the United States in referring to arbitration our conduct in carrying out our municipal laws; but he agreed with Sir Roundeil Paimer in preferring this arrangement to the unde- fined and unlimued agreed to by Mr, Reverdy Johnson and Lord Derby. After giving an emphatic dental to the reports that this was not in- tended to be areal arbitration, he concluded with some general remarks on the value of the treaty as knitting the two peoples together, Mr. B, COCHRANE Imade coplous extracts from the ers to show that British honor and interests been sacrificed, and Mr. ANDERSON objected to Sno limit Of date fixed on for the British cli tobe sent in, ~ Mr. RATHBONE dwelt on the importance to our snipping interest of having the Alabama precedent cancelled; and alter some remarks from Mr. Whal- Jey, Sir C, Adderiey withdrew bis mouon. ROSSEL ARRAIGNED, The Career of Colonel Rossel Under the Empire, the Republic and the Communo— He ip Charged With Desertion, Attempting to Excite Civil War, Raising Armed Troops, Commanding Armed Bands and Bearing Arms Against France. The following is the official report of the mqnirtes made into the case of Rossel, the ex-Delegate for War under the Commune:. Captain Rossel, of the engineers, was attached to the military sta! at Metz during the war against Prussia. He eifected his escape in disguise on the very day the Prussians entered, and, passing by Bol- Ll and England, proceeded to Tours, where he found M. Gambetta, Being intrusted by him with a mission to the north of France, in order to asccr. tam the amount of military force and means of de- fence to be found there, he was upon his return, early in December, appointed an auxiliary colonel and directing engineer of the camp at Nevers, accepted thut position at the moment whea the Paris insurrection broke out. A despaten published in the newspapers informed him that the govern- ment had quitied Paris aud that the city was ip the wer of the imsurrection, ‘Upon thi . Rossel did not hesitate. He wrote immediately to tho Minister of War at Versallles, anuounc- ing that he had determmed upon abandoning bis ost and gene vo Paris to offer his services to the msurrection. M. Rossel fully admits the letter, ‘vows that in writing it he perfectly understood the serious step he, as a soldier, was taking, and that in so doing he ylelded to no ulterlor infuence. He repeats upon examination that knowing, on the one hand, that the government intended to defend stself, and on the other band cousidering the importance of the insurrectionary movement, which constituted, in fact, the commencement of civii war, he imme: diately ranged hiwseif on the side of the reveis, Upon his arrival in Paris he at once placed himself in communicailon with the members of the Commit- tee of the Seventeenth Arroudisement; presented by them by them to the Central Committee at the Hotel de Ville he received the command of the Legion of the Seventeenth arrondissement. His zeal established discipline in the legion, but tne Committee of the Arrondissement, being dissat, isiied, caused him to be arresied. Being reicased through the efforts of one of his officers he was selected by Sieur Cluseret, the Delegate for War, to fill the post of Cnief of the Stat? He occu- pied that pust up to April 26. At that period he tendered his resignation, which was ac- cepted, but he continued oficially to render his services up to the last day of the montn. On April 30 M. Rossel was provisionally appointed Delegate for War. During the period wuich pre- ceded his Domination as Delegate for War he had been charged by the Presidency of the Court Mar- tial, That court, instituted by the Commune on April 16, was established especially for the sum- mary trial of citizens who refused to march against the French army. ‘The cuief penalties mficted were death, travaus sorcés, imprisonment, &c. The penalty of death was especially of frequent infiiction. The President wade himself remarkable for his inflexivle rigor and ardent zeal, which ne continued to devote to the service of the Commune down to the 10th of May with indefatigable con- stancy. It was, doubless, that zeal which caused him to be selected to discharge the functions with which he was eatrusted on the 30th of April. The first orders issued under his command and signed by him were publisned in the Journal Oficiel of the Commune 10 Its impression of the 1st of May; they related to oMfcers of the stam and to the cen- tralization of the artillery of the insurrection. Every day up to the 9tn of May there appeared fresh orders and decrees signed by the Delegate for War. In the discharge of his functions M. Rossel was assisted by a commission, consisting of Ar- nofd, Avrial, Delescluze, Vridou and Variin, who were entrusted with une detatsof the “ae ip a all | iniUative was left to uim. On the 1ocn of the Commune decreed the arrest of M. Rossel, He found an opportunity to escape in company with Gerardin, and bid himself in Paris up to. the moment ‘of his tinal arrest by the legal police on the 7th of June, isguised a3 a toreman of Whe staff of the Eastern Railway Company, he carried with him a letter, addressed to one Tirebois, a foreman ip the service of the rauway company, by the aurecior at the Villette station, in order to | eztablish 4 false identity. Bemg recognized by many witnesses he at last avowed bis name and | “rank. Captain Rossel, by successively accepting the | functions of Cuef de Légion, of President of the Court Martial and of Delegate jor War, has voluntarily performed military service on betialf of the insurrection; he has recog- Dized 10 as & government by becoming Min- ister. Ail lis orders issued in perfect agreement with the Commune were executed. During bis stay at the Ministry he specially directed the military op- erations against the army of the regular govern- Ment, Without being a member of the Commune he did all in his power down to the 10th of May to render it victorious, and, by assuming the multary authority with which’ it invested hin, he made himself responsivie for the acts committed by the chieis of the armed | bands of the insurrection, His arrest on the 10th | of May (by the Commune) in no degree mitigates his culpability, His excessive zeal and activity, sd the suspicions of members of the Commune, ac- count for that, As he himself admits, no foreign influence affected his conduct, for which he accepts entire personal responsibilitv; and yet, notwithstanding his position as a soldier, and the rank be bad attained in the army, he nad Not a moments hesitation In vearing aruis against France. Jn presence of wese facis our opinion is that Lonis Natbaniel Rossel, captain of engincers, should be tried before a court martial upon charges— First, of desertion at home; second, of having taken part in ap attempt having for its objects to change | the form of government, to excite civil war by arm- | ing citizens against each other; third, of Laving raised and caused to be raised armed troops, en- gaged und enrolled, caused to ve engaged and en- i soldiers, having provided aad procured arms nd ammunition without the orders of tue legitimate authorities; fourth, of having taken the command of armed bands, directed them in their attack upon and res ance tothe public force acting against those bands, which invaded for purposes of pitlage and devast Uon lands, fortresses, magazines, post ofices, arsenals and public buildings; filth, of having thus, as a soldier, borne arms against France.

About two o'clock one of the laborers, named Patrick Hughes, | was throwing out the airt from the bottom of ine | trench in which he was digging, some tweive feet below the surface of ‘ihe street. when the sandy bank caved in, and Hughes was buried in | an upright position, with his head four or five feet below the surface of the dirt which covered him. Fortunately the accident was seen by many, and procuring shovels, spades, coal scoops and every: ining else at hand, they began digging with great energy for the buried man.

Mr. John Mathews, the owner of the animal, testified that he was informed by Henry Sergeant, a friend of his, that he saw the defendant take the horse from the blacksinith shop 148 Bast Forty+ eighth street, and that he then went 10 Copp’s place, where he found the horse. Mr. Mathews had leit | the horke at the stable to be shod, and daring his absence the defendant went there, and, representing that he bad been sent by Mr. Mathews, the horse Was given up to him by the blacksmith.

THE FENIAN FESCIVAL, Fast and Furious Fun and Frolic—Peace and Harmony Among Patriotic Lrishmen— Irish Revolutionary Organizations United at Last. The annual picnic and festival of the Fentan Brotherhood of Manhattan district took place yes- terday at Jones’ Wood. Over seven thousand of the patriotic exiles of Erin were present on the grounds, and from early noon until late at night the fun was fast and furious, Peace and good order and the height of good fellowship Teigned throughout the day, the only thing bearing the semblance of a muss having originated witn a pair of elaerly ladies of the Jewish persuation, who became dissatisfied with each other's success in disposing of toy balloons and who pulled each other's ‘‘wool’’ ferociously until separated vy a Christian policeman, ‘The most attractive feature of the celebration was the parade of the first vattalion of the Legion of St. Patrick, under command of Colonel Patrick Leon- ard, The parade was highly crediiable to both men and officers, the marching and the exercises in the manaal of arms eliciting ‘he hearty § ap- Piause of the entire muitituue. After the “march past” and review by General W. G. alpin, the Commander-in-Chief of the Legion, the battalion was drawn up in hollow square, surroanded py the gay und festive crowd, to near a few words of en- couragement and hope fromthe Fenian leaders present. After several short and ordinary addresses had been made General Halpin delivered a brief but very eftcetive speech. General Halpin was fol- Jowed by Dr, Thomas Clarke Luby and Mr. O’Dono- van Rossa, who spoke briefly and chiefly on tne great necessity of UNION AMONG IRISH NATIONALISTS. Dr. Luby told his hearers that a committee from the Irish Confederation and one from the Fenian Brotherhood were now in daily consultation, and ‘hat by Friday next he would be able to proctatm that a lasting and permanent union between those bodies bad been firmly established; an announce- ment which was received with tremendous cheering. Aiwong the noticeable persons present, in addition to those already mentioned, were John O’Mahong, John O'Leary (lately arrived Fenian exile and eaor of the coniseated Dublin Jrish People), Mrs. O'Dono+ van Rossa, Captain Butler, Major Copyngham, A. A. M®n, E. Power, H. 8. Muileda, George Smith, Jolonel Cavanagh and several other oflicers of the Sixty-uinth regiment, Robert White, P. Dunn, J. Ford, Major Batler, Joseph Paul, &c., &c. It was particularly noticeable that the Irish Confede- raion ana other similar organizations mustered strongly on the occasion, and that the utmost cor- diality prevailed a:nong the leaders of those brother- houds that have so long beea rivals, bul are now to become united once more and forever. ANNEXATION, First Fruits in Newark. At the session of the New Jersey Legislature the year bejore last a bill was passed incorporating the town of Clinton, within the city limits of Newark. Subsequenily a set of commissioners were appoiniea to Jay out streets in the newly acquired territory. Ex- actly how necessary such commissioners, at $5 a day each, are, may be determined when it is stated that onder the city charter the Common Council is aloue autuorized and empowered to lay out streets. One of tne fruits of this annexation business is Just now beginning to ripen. Last week, at the instigation of Charles A. Ero, Julia Winkler and Sophia Kunneie, property owners of Clinton Hill, obtaiued through counsel from Judge Seudder a writ of certiorari, restraining the Commissioners from further procedure in the matter of awarding Gamages and benefits, Erb has been awarded $16,500 for property; but he declares he ought at least be given $25,000, fhe others in like manner consider themselves correspondingly aggrieved. An appeal was also taken. ‘This will be tried al the next term of the Circuit Court. It is claimed behind ail this that the act under which the Commissioners Were appointed is unconstitutional, RUINED BY RUM. A Carman Trkes 1 Dose of Parts Green.

The days of trouble and perplexity are increasin upon the Mormon brotherhood faster than the ever experienced in Missourt and Illinois, ana i comes with an unerring certainty that make them stare with surprise. Up to the las year they have escaped the punishments tha thelr oppression evoked because there was no pot sibility of reaching them in the courts; but th present judiciary are brave and honest men, anc Brigham can neither intimidate nor purchase them and it 1s here that every sound American wiil bi glad to see the Mormon question handiea, The sensation of the hour ts the question of poly gamic responsibility, and what isto become of th wives of the dissenters who have lost faitn i: Brigham = Young’s polygamic cbureh? The question 1s tuGnitely mere _ perplexing than the settlement of the other wir relic of barbarism. , But it has got to be met, anc the liberal reformer the trouble, are openly avowing their determinatior to abide by the decisions of the courts, tf the latter should deem it proper to take it within their juris | diction, A DAMNING CASE. For some months back it has been known to the federat officers here that many women had been badly used by their polygamic husbands, not only 11 cruel treatment but tn thetr utter neglect of them altogether, leaving them and their children tq “scratch an existence” while they cohabited with younger women whom they called thetr wives. Several of these cases are in ccurse of prepara< tion for the courts .and the first came up yesterday before His Honor Judge McKean in open court, on the aMdavit of Mrs. Harriet Hawkins, against her husband, Thomas Hawkins, formerly a merchant | tinsmitn in this city, but now residing thirty miles south of this city in the capacity of afarmer, Mra, Hawkins tells her story in a few words:— 1 was married to the defendant about twenty-one _ years ago in St. George’s church, Birmingham, kng- land. We have been in this country about eighteen years and have six children. and he lives at Lemgh. We bave not lived together for several years, He was @ good fathet and husband and always treated me and tha children kindly, until about six years ago. He then began to talk about taking another wife. I opponed it, I did not believe 1a polygamy and_never did, was within a few weeks of my confinement. Ha began to tease and abuse me, and said he would kil me, He brought to our house another woman that he said was wife, and lived with her in his sitting room. 1 often saw them in bed together. A few years after that he brought a third woman home that he sald was another wife, and slept with her. He said I was getting old and he had no more use for me, and that he would have younger women. He has often beat. me with his Ost8, and once he got 3 Knife and threat- ened to kill me. He got the Mormon teachers to try to make me submit, This is the general story of large numbers of tha Utah women. ‘The Mormon men were like other men—no better nor no worse—ttll that accursed, institution, polygamy, brutalized them and robbed them of their affection for women. This Thomas Hawkins 1s an intelligent man; he ts no brute, As he sat uncovered in court he showed a massive forehead, of which any man would be proud, ana the people who knew him here in business speak, welt of tim, 1 is the demoraltzation of the associ- ation and the natural strife that three wives iiving in the same house engender. ‘The wite bears kindly witness of his affectionate treatment to her and her children before he took other wives, and makes no effort at concealment that she could not endure -polygamy and opposed him. What woman can read her story without burning with indignation at the abomination tnat teaches men to cast of their affectionate wives In order to take younger wives, necause his first “waa getting old and he had no more use for her ?”” A POLYGAMISY TO GO TO JAIL. . A contemptible littie Mormon lawyer (Miner) was the defendant of Hawkins and tried to screen him by the claim thatthe Probate Court had grantet this man a divorce some time before, and that she hud no further cluims upon her former husband. This was “throwing the fat into the fire,” for the federal court is deterinmed to ignore the existence of the Probate Court outside of its ee and proper jurisdiction, here as else- where. Up to the arrtval of the present Juages the Probate Courts here have carried things witha high hand,and e@ extended tieir jurisuiction over everything i and criminal, and have, in this city ‘alone, executed probably a dozen men, hanging or shoot« ing them, as they might elect. Jt was nothing in favor of Thomas Hawkins that the Provate Court Rad administered to him. The Chief Justice was emphatic. ‘The counsel for Mrs, Hawkins presented her am- davit charging Hawkins with adultery, and he was heid to bat In the sum of $5,000 to apswer to an: indictment to be found by the Grand Jury, and, fail- ing to give satisfactory vail, he will be sent for safe keeping to THE CALAROOSE AT CAMP DOUGLAS. ‘This interesting case has shaken the city and the mouthing Mormons are furtous, a3 they see the: selves caught in thelr own snare, and sending the Mormon prisoners to Camp Douglas is the bitterest ll they have to swallow, for all of which they have hemselves to thank. When the present United States Marshal entered ‘upon his duties, over a year ago, he led to the Mormon oficial in charge of the calaboose here, and he refused to admit the Marshal’s prisoners, on Which the Marshal applied to tne commander of the Post tor the vse of the soldiers’ calaboose, and now ine prisoners of the United States Courts are all sent there. Had this been the voluntary motion of the Marshal tt would have been very unwise und some- thing like “persecution,” but the Mormons bite their lips in sifence, WHAP 18 TO BR DONE WITH THE RXTRA WIVES. - The reformers have finally come to the conclusion to make a Clean breast of their troubles, and W. S. Godbe has come before the world with a state- ment of their perplexities, He is frank and fells it out, He has four wives, and three of these have over a aozen children and the fourth one none. They all have lost faith in Brige ham’s polygamy. He isa sample of other brethren; and, 1 losing faith, they have reached Brigham’: hel; they are tied, “want to do and can’t.” ‘This was the game of the poiygamic prophet from the beginning. He urged, preached, counselled and commanded the leading men to take more wives. He knew that they could not then leave the Territory with extra wives, He had them where he wanted them, aud he never dreamed that thtg day would come. Every person sympathizea with Godbe, Lawrence and such men, lor they are highly esteemed as honorable business men. ‘Their wives want to stay with them now that they have children to them, and they recognize every obligation to those wives and cnil- dren; but they neither want to violate the laws ot the land nor to see their wives Itving in misery, a3 they most assuredly do here. Dividtag property equally with the polygamous Wives and giving them their liberty to go or stay 13 the only present solution of the troubles; but even that does not meet the case fairly. These polyga- mous wives were in the Mormon sense as much the wives of that husband as any first wife, and to be now deprived of his guidance and oversight in rearing their chil. dren {8 a heavy task for them. Surely Congresd will arrive at the conctusion, some time, that What it claims to have a right to do here should be done.
