Offences Under the Territo- rial Laws. Mormon Officials Taught a Se- vere Lesson. SALT Laxke Crry, Oct. 2, 1871. The United States Marshal 1s beginning to exe- cute the writs based upon indictments of the Grand Jury. BRIGHAM YOUNG WAS ARRESTED TO-DAY by United States Marshal Patrick, on an in- dictment found by the Grand Jury of the Third United States District Court, gor lewd and lacivious cohabitation with sixteen different women, under tho Statutes of Utah providing against offences against morality and decency. As he was unwell the United States Marshal accepted his parole to pppear before Chief Jostice McKean to-morrow morning to plead to the indictment. THE PENALTY provided by the Territorial law, in case of convic- tion, Is imprisonment not exceeding ten years and not less than six months, and a fine not more than $1,000 and not leas than $100, or both, at the dis- cretion of the Court, MORMON LAW. It will thus be seen that Mr. Young is,to be pros- ecuted under the laws for and by the Mormon Legislature and not under the laws of Congress. Of course he and his people can take no exception to this, and although there is a great deal of excite- ment there 1s no chance for any trouble unless the Mormon leaders incite and begin it, THE POINTS TO BE SUSTAINED. Governor Woods has taken the needful steps to see that the courts are sustained and the laws vin- dicated, but in case of @ manifest disposition of the Church authorities ampie reinforcenients of troops will be on the ‘spot for any emergency, The general oMicials are completely united, and are thoroughly sustained by the Gentile community, <i. A LESSON FOR MORMON OFFICIALS, The Supreiié Court tnailimousiy afirmed to-day the decision of the District Jury and Court in the case of Englebrecht vs, Jetter Clinton, an Alderman 6f tfié city, and the police, In the Alderman’s order Knglebrecht’s stock of liquors, valued at about twenty thousand dollars, was seized, con- fiscated and destroyed. The jury veforo which the case was tried gave damages in the nature of punishment for nearly FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, Under territorial statutes to-day, on appeal, Judge Hawley renderea a long decision, holding that an Alderman could not exerctse the functions of a Justice of the Peace; that the city ordinance which permitted the destruction of property without trial was null and vold; that owners’ leense dues could not be collected, and, finally, that the verdict of the jury and the decision of the District Court mast be aflirmed. A notice of appeal to the United States Supreme Court was made, and the case may be carried up. Tho offending officials will be obliged to pay more than fifty thodsand dol- lars in costs and damages for their illegal transac- tions, in a short time. FEDERAL TROOPS REINFORCED, Troops have been sent on official requisition to reinforce the garrison of Camp Douglas. Two com- panies of infantry arrived last night and another comes to-night. Stlil further reinforcements are expected, including artillery and cavairy, and the situation assumes a warlike aspect. THE FEELING AMONG THE PEOPLE. There ts certainly a great deal of bad fecling ex- hibited and no end of inflammatory talk and threats, The situation 1s clearly not favorable to the interests of Utah, but I hope it will speedily change for the better.

Additional Particu'ars of the Arrest of Brig- ham Young—Other Indiciments Reported Found Against the Mormon Leader. Satur Lake City, Utah, Oct. 2, 1871. Brigham Young was arrested this afternoon, at four o'clock, upon the indictment of the Grand Jury, charging him, under the Utah statute, with lewdly and licentiously cohabiting with sixteen different women. The arrest was made by Unite. States Marshal Patrick, at the residence of Young. Owing to the sickness of the prisoner he was allowed to remain at his house to-night in charge of adeputy marshal. He will be taken be- fore Judge McKean to-morrow. Another company of United States troops arrived here to-night from Fort Bridger. It is reported and generally believed that indictments have been found against Brigham Young to-day for murder, BEN BUTLER. General Butler Still Within the Republican Fold—Advice to the Temperance Men.

Terrible Death—Balloon Ascension in Ine diana—The Acronant, at the Hight of a Mile from the Earth, Falls from His Car and is Dashed to Pieces. LOUISVILLF, Oct. 2, 1871. At Paoli, Orange county, Indiana, Saturday, Pro- fessor Wilbur made arrangements for a balloon as- cension. He was to be accompanied by George H, Knapp, editor of the Orange County Union. AS they were about getting into the balloon the cords gave way, and they made @ Spring for the car, but only suc- ceeded in grappling the ropes, As the nalloon rose Knapp let go, and fell at a height of about thirty feet, without serious injury. Professor Wilbur held on, and attempted to climb into the basket, but was unable to do so, and the balloon shot upwards rapidly, with the acronaut hanging below. The spectators were thrilled with horror at the verrible scene, which endea in a dreadfu manner. At a height of about one mile the doomed. man let go his hold, and came whirling to the earth. At the height he had attained he looked like a small stick about a foot long. As he approached the earth he was coming down feet foremost, then spread out horizontally, then doubdied up, turned over and thon straightened out, with his head downward. As he struck the earth he fell upon his head and back. His heaa was mashed into an indistinguishable mass and bis body was bruised and crushed horribly. ‘The body made a hole in the ground elght inches deep, and 1% rebounded four feet from where it struck. To ada to the painful character of the accident, the Professor's young wife and little daughtcr were on the ground and witnessed the terrible affair, The remains of the untortunate man were properly cared for and buried at Paolt yesterday afternoon.

The grand military festivai ana /éte champetre, in aid of the Union Home and School for the orphans and destitute children of soldiers and satlors of the late war, was inaugurated yesterday at the Fashion Course, Long Island. The day was indeed a most auspicious one, and though, ke most great enter. prises of the kind, such as fairs and tournaments, the first day’s attendance was uot by any means large, it 1s anticipated that by the middie of the week tho affair will be an attraction to many thousands of people daily. The programme of amusements and exhibitions is on a scale never before attempted in this country, and the grounds and arrangements therein ure suilicient for the ac- commodation of 25,000 persons. Add to this the fact that the object ts one of the worthiest of the many now before the public, and that tne enter. prise is under the auspices of such eminent atronage as Mrs. Admiral Farragut, Mrs. Jucge aly, Mra. General Shaler, Mrs. General Fremont, Mrs. David Hoyt, Mrs. L, H, Rowan and other benevolent ladies, and & hundred other rea- sons at once spring into existence why the festival should be largely patronized, Each day’s rogramme Will comprise military displays and Batery, firmng, .trotting matches, pedesirianism, base ball contests, equestrianism tor ladies and gen- Uemen, balloon ascenstons, skating, drumming, tightrope evolutions, singing, instrumental music, dancing, donkey and mule races, butchers’, express- men’s, grocers and truckmen’s races, &c.

Seymour To Be Permanent President. Arrival of Some of the Regular New York Delegates, Tweed and Two Hundred Tamma- nyites to Arrive To-Day, RocueEsTer, N. Y., Uct. 2, 1871, Within forty-eight hours a Convention will be in tull operation in this city which may, by its action, decide the political complexion of the Union for some years to come; and yet this old town goes on as usual, seemingly caring nothing for the com- ing Convention, for its action or results, The only beople who seem to be pushed out of their ordinary Grooves are the newspaper men, the hotel keepers and the police, The first named are full of the im- Portance of the event, and each one seems to think that the working of the Convention, the results of its action aud the consequent destiny of the demo- cratic party, if not of the nation, depends solely on what he says and advises, The hotel keepers have bought up all the cots, vedsteads, hammocks and lounges they could get and find room to store, The police are of coarse making great pre- Parations, the floor of the police station having been newly sanded this morning, and their gleam- ing buttons will shine on Wednesday, provided there be suntight to help the shine.

Whether Sammy in- tends to do any gagging or not, it 1s'easy to see aud sale to say that he wants to have TUE TAMMANY DELEGATION REJECTED, He has written a letterto Geuerai Green, of Syra- cuse, reciting the fact of the combination opposi- tuon to Tammany, and states that Charles O’Uonor gives himself to the movoment, and that they have ho danger except in haif measures and hatf- hearted counsels. A leading politician in this section claims that this looks like intimating that Tammany wiil be adinitted, and that the opposition de- mocracy are attempting to cover themselves with & cloak of respectability worn by Charies O'Conor, just as the Conklingites did in the case of Andrew D. White at Syracuse. The feeling has been de- cidediy BITTER AGAINST TAMMANY, but is apparentiy cooing down. A communica- tion in the Union of this evening —the leading dem ocratic paper of this section—gives the view gener- tence, After referring to the evils of corruption and the necessity for immediate retorm it says:— Let the expression, both in totion and in word, be decided and empuatle, yet wise, prudent and just.

Everyoody will give it up for the present. The communication goes on to say, “The organization (what organiza- lon ?) has the neediul power, vigor and efficiency.” That 18 a good word for Tammany. Further on it says, ‘Let all rings or combinations, whether city or country, on the capais or elsewhere, organized for corrupt purposes, be spurned and repudiated.’’ There comes THE HEAVY HIT AT TAMMANY, Then comes a iitle more candlestick business, in this wise:— ‘ ‘The democracy of the city of New York are a grest con- stituency. They inust be treated as they deserve to be—fairly, generously, The sins of leaders must not be visited upon the Masses or their orgauizations. Strict justice, if it be possl- dle, must be meted out to all. At the same time due reard to regularity of organization and its power and ellect must be had, Let the whole city democracy have fair representa- uon, and above all let the final action of the » through its Convention, be of such a decided ter as to remove all doubt as to its complicity with alleged (rauds and mal- Practices in the city or elsewhere. From this it would seem that there is an inclinas tion to admit all who come properly accredited but of course notuing can be definitely stated until f& mecting of the State Committee will be helu and some plan of action determined on. Among the first to apply for rooms to-day was a ver i ROUGH-LOORING CUSTOMER, who stepped up to the natty clerk of the Osborn House and said:— “say, young feller, I wantto git rooms for Joe Coburn and William Maguire.” “Very sorry, sir, but we are afl full,” “Full be damned. Can’t you make no room for Joe? You know Joe, young feller, don’t your’? He could not prevail on the nobby clerk, ani = went away discomfitted.

Dress circle, parquet and boxes were alike resplendent in the gay toilets of the ladies, dotted py the gentlemen's sombre black suits of the ‘“claw-hammer” pattern. Nearly every lyric artist of note in the city was there, and coteries of managers clustered in the lobbies discussing the Merits and demerits of the company, No less than six tenors stood on the steps at the entrance giving their opinions of their new rival in tones of recitative. A corpoyal’s guard of basses growled their praise or the opposite in the /oyer, and stray prime donne in the boxes held a caucus of their friends during the entr’acte, There were a few spectacled Teuton: conductors also on bani, lamenting the absence of the must of the future and its peculiar exponents, 1t was a brilliant and encouraging commencement of the opera season, and the management may feel confident that the public will not be lacking in their appreciation of good music this fall English opera, since the days of the Seguins, has had @ spasmodic and chequered existence in this country.

The bril- liant season of the Pyne and Harrison troupe forms the next epoch in the career of English opera, and was the means of giving 1¢ a fair start. iss Richings, Castle and Campbell were its most noted representatives {a _ later times, until the reigning queen of oratorio and concert, Mine. Parepa-losa, assumed the Management of this very uacertain and risky spe- cles ol amusement. Her first season proved an en- tire success, owlug to the fact that she took eipe- cial pains tu presenting a iret class company, with as good surroundings in the siuge department as could be procured, Last night she selected Dont- zetti’s Sparkliug opera, ‘The Daughter of the Kegi. ment,” as an opening atiraction, and alihough, of course, she a8 the prima donna monopolized tue bes’ of the music, yet she iiruduced in the other parts new aruists, Of these the principal was the tenor, Tom Karl, who comes irom Italy with strong endorsemeuts frou the cunserva- toi tie pubic aud the press There 13 a good opportuuity for a enor di grazia to show What he can do in the vole of Tonto, and Mr. Karl availed Limself of it with the gratuying result of a complete success.

At umes his votco reminds oue of Brignoll, and he sees to have some of the wonderful effect in mezza voce which is the distinguishing feature of that favorite artist.

Svapr THEATRE—“MARrHA.”—Whatever may be safd of the defects of Wachtel as an artist, in the literal sense of the term—and that he has his share there is no doubt—nis popularity as an operatic singer is unquestionable. Altogether, astde from his European reputation, he nas succeeded, and very quickly, in Winning a host of adimirers, who do not hesitate to pronounce him a perfect phe- nomenon as a vocalist, This {is all very well, but Herr Wachtel displays, never- area of low barometer, with brisk winds and rain, ‘Will pass from the lower lakes and Pennsylvania eastward, Stationary or rising barometer, with northwesterly winds and hazy weather, will proba- biy extend from Ilinois, north and west. Cloudy weather, with rain, wil probably coutinue from Keatucky to Texas and Alabama. theless, numerous radical faults, scarcely observa- ble by an entire audience, yet plainly evident to all wko can thoroughly comprehend and appreciate the efforts of an accomplished artist. In a word, Wachtel shows entirely oo much musical economy, so to speak, and, in reserving his voice perhaps tiree-fourths of an evening, awaits the opportunity for a brilliant effect, and thus, by a tremendous sensation, takes the house by storm, A decided m- preszion 18 at once created by the pyrotechn'c ren- dition of a few bars, and the assembiage, forgevuing all else, becomes enraptured by ihe imarvel- lous exhibition of the singer's extraordinary wers, ‘Tis was the case last ever | Wacutel appeared as Lionel, in Flote..% vperd of “Marna,” before a house crowded to over- flowing and cager to listen to the en- chanting high notes of the great German tenor, With the exception of the highly artistic performance of Nancy by Miss Clara Perl, who, by the way, 18 always equal to her part, there was nothing in the Orst act worthy of notice. The solo rofugo was but indifferently rendered by Herr yachtel, Who, as already mentioned, was proceed- 1og on the plan of vocal economy. In the cond act the spinning wheel guartet re- ceived @ pretty fair interpretation, willie the final quartet of this scene was deservedly well received; but the rendition of the famous Irisn air, “The Last Rose of Summer,” which Flotow has a tiy dovetailed into his opera, was about as execravle as it could be, Frau Rotter has evidently not gotton over what seems to be a chronic hoarseness, and is was occasionally painful to wit- ness her factal exertions in the cause of art. In marked couirast to her performance was that of Clara Perl, who throughout the evening was eusy, ‘aceiul and in splendid voice, Withous going much iato details, for tie support was wretched, 1t may be as well to mention that the part of Piunket, as personated by Herr Vierltng, Was about as clownish a representa- Uon as could be imagined. He seemed to be anlicted with avery sore heel ail the evening, and his ren- dering of the Hine drinking song im the begining of the turd act was nothing more nor less tuan a vigorous though discordant howl. However, these are only secondary matters to be considered, The auditors went Ww hear Wachtel, and that gentleman worked them up to a pitch of enthusiasm seldom seen within the Wwalis of a theatre. But this was not unuil the third act, When entering disconsolately and detaching ‘the sweet lower trom its frali, trembiing stem,” he san; “M Appar.” It was unquestionably ® glorious ef fort, marked by great depth ot feeling, exquisite tenderness and a requisite power that tarilied the house, Nothing could exceed the amount of pathos and beauty of expres-ion with which he surrounded this charming — air, and) when he mad concinded bis brilliant display the audience almost rose en imasse and enhusiastically demanded an encore, which was gracefully responded to. Wachtel assuredly distin- gushed ,imself, and added anotaer to the many sensations he has already created by his wondertul electric flourishes. The fourth act was pleasantiy gone tarough with, and one of the largest assem. biages that ever congregated tu the Stadt squeezed itself out, apparently delighted. “Fra Diavuio” ts announced for to-morrow evening. Grand OvERA Hovse—E1tken OGF.—Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Floreuce were received on their return to the stage last night by a most fashionable audi- ence.

ADDIE, Challenge Race for the Bennett Sloop Cup—Light Winds, an Interesting Contest and the Gracio the Winner, All yachtsmen will remember that, in the June te» gatta of the New York Yacht Club, Commodore Bennett, in addition tu the several other prizes, gave two massive silver cups, called “Challenge Cups,” which, when won by the vessels in the schooner and sloop classes, were, under certaim conditions, open to challenge and competition. The cup for sloops was at that time won, and gallantly too, by the Addie, owned by Mr. W. H. Langley. His most formidable competi- tor was the Gracie, the property of Messrs. Johnson & Krebs, anil since that time the latter nave feit they should be masters of the situation, and heace @ Short lime ago advised the owner of the Addie they would yesterday again compete for the cov nize, pime preparation was made, The Addie, of course, accepted the challenge. She went on tue ways, waa cleaned and made ready for tie struggle. jual'y so was the Gracie, although the latter was com- pelled to carry her old sails because a new aall did not fit and set as desired. The dimenstons of these craft are as followa:— GRACIE. In. Ft. Ine Length on water lin 8 Depth of hold. tia Breath of be 9 Tonnage, club 63 tone 2u ADDIE. 1, I, Ft. In.

The weather was of the most delightiul description, and the wind light trom the southward. At 12h, 2m. 405, the or. der of departure was given, and — the yachts d off on the port tack. Soon the wind veered to the westward and then backed to the southward aud eastward, occasionally fresh. ening a little. It was a dead bea’ to windward, and the Gracie, oif Fort Wadsworth, took a patie post- tion and maintained it to the Southwest Spit, the contestants passing that polnt as follows:— WM. 8.
