A spectal conference of the Ghurch of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints was held to-day in the new Tabernacle. About 8,000 Mormons were present, ‘The vhree first Presidents—Brigham Young, George A. Smith and D. H. Wells—the twelve apostles, the high priests and other Church dignitaries were on the platform. Among the speakers were George Q. Cannon, who aspires to the succession of Brigham Young, and Brigham Young, Jr. The remarks generally were bitterly denunciatory of the federal officials. termed the “Ring.” Cannon sald he did not anticipate the Mormons would have to leave the Territory. ‘They have broken no law. They have not violated “he constitation. The prosecutions now Inaugurated against them would only enhance the interest and accelerate the progress of the work of God. He rejoiced that the Devil was not yet dead, for they ‘were not yet perfect and his services could not yet be dispensed with. Brigham Young, Jr., spoke most excitedly. Be said the Mormons had settled this mountain region ana they were entitled to its exclusive occu. pation and enjoyment. They asked no favors or assistance from any source. ‘They defied all their enemies, the government of the Unitea States included. The government officials now pro- secuting them were tools of the Devil. He prayed God to curse them all forever. Said he, with violent gesticulations, “Trust to God, keep your powder ary and don’t fail to have on hand a good supply of xed ammunition.” ‘The latver remarks were received with # universal “Amen” and loud cheering and clapping of hands.

Japanese Appreciation of Ameri- can Civilization. THE CASE OF PAYMASTER HODGE. Important Decisions of the Treas- ury Department. WASHINGTON, Oct, 5, 1871. Japanese Compliment to American Civiliza- tion. Secretary Belknap to-day received from Mr. Mort, the Chargé d’Affaires for Japan, a sword, which has a@singular history. It belonged to Mr. Kondo, one of the Japanese Embassy in tunis country atudy- ing our institutions, and its presentation first to Mr. Mort and afterwards to the War Department for the Military Museum was in compliments to our civiliza- tion. In the Japanese Legislature Mr. Mori has ad- vooated the abolition of the ancient custom among men of high rank of wearing two swords, but was warmly and successfully opposed by Mr. Kondo. When tho latter came to tnis country he so much preferred the custom of our military officers of wear- ing a single sword that he signalized lis conversion by this presentation of one of his own blades, The sword 18 300 years old, with a blade three feet long, and very heavy and sharp asa razor. So much in- terest was evinced in the weapon that.a number of our army Officers examined it to-day under a micro- scope at the War Department. The Case of Paymaster Hodge. Major Charles. Larned has been designated as Disvursing Paymaster, under Paymaster General Brice, relieving Major Rochester, who temporarily fulfilled the duties of defaulting Paymaster Hodge. Major Hodge 1s stil kept in close confinement in fort McHenry, being allowed only an hour's exer- cise in the open air, and then in custody of a com- missioned officer. The sentence and findings of the Court are still betore Judge Advocate Holt, and the sentence will not be promulgatea until the pro- ceedings have been reviewed by the Presl- dent. Tne statement that another paymaster was @ defauiter to the amount of $20,000, and that the matter had been hushed up by the payment of that amount, is unequivocally dented by the Secretary of War ana Paymaster General brice. The head of the War Department positively states that he would not make any compromise with de faulting paymasters under any consideration. ‘Treasury Department Decisions. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has written a letter to the Coliector of Customs at Norfolk, Va., in rela- tion to certain tron cotton ties which were taken from the wreck of the Sophia, off tne Fiorida reefs, entered at Key West as scrap iron at $8 per ton duty and transported in bond to Norfolk. The De- partment judges the action of the Collector at Key West in classifying such merchandise as oid scrap iron erroneous, a3 it has been frequently decided that tron cotton ties snould be classified under the provision of the act of June 30, 1864, as all manu- factures of tron not otherwise provided for ata duty of thirty-five per cent ad valorem. The Col- lector is required to cause said iron cotton ttes to be carefully appraise d in their present condition as wrecked goods, and thereafter amend the entry by asseasing the duty on the value so found at the rave of thirty-five per cent ad valorem. An appeal having been made to the Secretary of the Treasury from a decision of the Coilector of Cus- toms at New York assessing the duty at the rate or fifty cents per pound and forty per centum ad valorem on certain so-called white sheep voas im- ported from Southampton, the appelant claiming that the same are only dutiable at a rate of thirty- five per centum, the Secretary, after a full investi- gation of the matter and an inspection of samples, says: It appears that said goods are articles of wearing apparel complete in themselves; that they ure manufactures of dressed sheep skins in the wool, and that no fur whatever enters into or forms any rtion of the material from which they are manu- factured, and under these circumstances they can- not be classified as manufactures of furs, as claimed by the importers, and he affirms the decis- lon of the Collector. The Secretary writes concerning the free entry of animals specially imported for breeding pur- poses, and the regulations of the Department made in pureuance thereof, that itis immaterial whether auch animals are imported for the sole use of the importer or for sale. He states, however, that tne Department regulations on the subject require that the importer shall produce, at the time of entry, his oath, and also a certificate from the Unitea States Consul at the foreign port of shipment, showing that the animals are intended only for oreeding purposes; and it must also appear to the satisfaction of the Collector of Customs, from an examination of tne animals and the prices specified in the invoices, that the same are of superior breed, and that tneir importation will tena to improve the stock of the United States before a {ree entry will be granted. Appointments in the Revenue Marino Sere vice. The Examining Board, consisting of Chief Engt- neers Pulsifer and Auclinleck and Supervising In- spector General Belknap, convened in this city by order of Secretary Boutwell in August last for the examination of candidates for the position of sec- ond assistant engineers in the revenue marine ser- vice, has finished the duty assigned it and ad- journed. Secretary Boutwell has made the follow- ing appuintments from among the successful com- petitors:—James H. Magee and Henry C. Barrows, New York; Edward G. Schwartz, District of Colum- bia; Philip Littig, Indiana; Henry F. Loveaire and Alfred L. Broadbent, Pennsylvania, and William H.

The Japanese Chargé d’A‘faires in this city has presented to our government, on behalf of the Japanese Champer of Commerce, about one hun- dred different samples of paper manufactured tn Japan, mostly of rice fibre. The specimens will be arranged in portfolios and placed tn the model room of the Patent Ofice for inspection. A Despatch from the President. A cespatch was received at the Executive Man- sion from the President at Pittsburg, which says that he will arrive in Baitimore to-morrow morning and remain there part of the day before coming on to Washington, Liabilities of Tobacco Manufacturers. Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue Mc- Michael dectdes that tobacco manufacturers are unquestionably responsible to tae governmrat for any frauds practised on the revenue by their author- ized agents acting in that capacity, whether such frauds are committed in the factory where the tobacco is manufactured or while traveling about the country selling manufactured tobacco, “YELLOW FEVER.

Batimows, Oct. 5, 1871. Interest tn the notable case of Mrs, E. G. Whar- ton, indicted for the poisoning of General W. 5. Ketcham and for the attempt to poison Eugene Van Ness, an extended report of which appeared in the Heratp at the time, increases 83 the time draws near at which she will appear before the Court to answer the terrible charges alleged against her. Every item that contains an allusion to her name fs read with avidity, and every day the Criminal Court room 1s crowded with the morbidly curious expecting some phase of tis important case to be presented; but up to this morning the public had not been gratiled with anything but conjec- tures and surmises as to what would be done when the case was called for trial, as the friends of the unfortunate lady have guarded every fact in that connection with great care, and the Officers of the court and jail have been rigidly careful of every fact in relation to the trial, and the reticence of all parties who could know anything about the matter has heightened che public interest In everything that relates to the case. Twice the order went forth for her arraignment, and both times sne did not appear. the first day her case was postponed on account of her health upon the adyice of her physician, an account of ‘Which appeared in the HBRALD, and the second upon the motion of the Court on account of the excite- ment that attendea the announcement in a morning journal here that she would appear for arraignment, ‘The desire of all parties connected with the case in any way has been to keep all proceedings therein a3 quiet as possible, and on yesterday, the’ impres- aion having gone out that she would not be arraigned for some days, Judge Gilmore directed that she be brought before the Court for arraignment this morn- Ing at ten o'clock. The order was given to her counsel, Mr. J. Nevitt Steele, and on yesterday afternoon he waited upon Mrs, Wharton at the jall and broke to her the fact that to-day at ten o’clock she should appear at the bar of justice to plead her guilt or innocence of the fearful crimes of which sle stood charged. She received the announcement without much agitation, and seemed ready to comply with the stern requirements of the law that would draw her forth from her secluded prison cell, into which rade curiosity could not gaze, and subject her to the terrible ordeal of standing as a criminal to answer for the fearful crime of murder before a gaping ; crowd of that common herd that aiways gather about criminal courts.

WILLIAM EB. ALOOOR, THE PACIFIC COAST. A Woman Indicted for Murder—{scaped Come victs Lynched—An Arizona Exploriug Party Honxed: 4 FHANCTSOO, Cal, Oct 5 18TI. Mra. N. J. Savier, wife of the agent of the Adantie: and Pacific Telegraph Company, and who shot Mra. Lake, with whom her husband was living at Stock- ton, has been indicted for murder. It is supposed that two more escaped Nevada convicts have been arrested at Los Angelos. Another has been captured at Rocklin, above Sacra- mento. It is now certain that Norton and Black, of eighteen years, who has shared with her mother her prison lite and watched over her sickness with un- exampled tenderness—refusing to leave her side a Moment save when she would step from the close, narrow cell into the corridor to escape the | prying eyes of her mother, and, in a flood of tears, ease her breaking heart—did not take the announcemens that the time had come when sho should go from the jail to the court room to hear her mother arraigned asacommon crimmal, and be the target of the prying eyes that would neces- sarily be levelled upon her, with the same resigna- tion as her mother. She had not the. years or rude experience of life to boar. up under the terribie burden that bas been bearmg down upon her with a crushing weight ever since the terrible announcement came to her ears that ner mother was charged with the crime of murder, and she recelved the declaration with some emo- tion, None can tell the anguish of her after Mr. Steele withdrew and none mother and daughter were within the limits of that lonely cell. Not one but the Great Being above can ever tell of the sufferings of tnat poor girl and her wretched motner during last night. Fancy could pam: no Coeghan that would convey the deep melancholy of those hearts, nor could tongue tell or pen write aught that would give a just Gyestig nasi Ke it, ‘Tn1s morning dawned bright and beautiful: not a cloud marred the clear blue aky overhead, and tne trees and shrubs around the jail wore their bright- est autumnal hues. Mrs. Wharton and her daugh- ter arose a8 usual, and parwok of their breakfast, wnich is furnished from a restau- rant, and consists of all the delicacies that money can command or a refined taste desire, After they | had partaken of breakfast the preparations were made for the trying scenes of the day. At. a. few moments after nine o'clock the warden of the jail, . James H. Irvin, in company with J. Crawiord Neilson, an intumate personal friend the Wharton family, proceeded the cell and informed them that the tume for their departure had arrived. Mrs. Whar- ton and her daugiiter were in readiness and the cell door was at once unbarred, and the prisoner, leaning upon the arm of the warden and her daugh- ter upon the arm of Mr. Nelson, passed out into the corridor and down into tre main room of tle jull. Here a moment’s delay occurred, alter which the huge doors of the main entrance to the prison were thrown open, and Mra. Wharton and her daughter for the first time in several mouths saw the unop- structed light of day and breathed the uncon- fined air of heaven, Down the main walk, either side by tastefully ar- ranged beds of rare flowers, they went, while from the windows of the cells on that side of the jau could be seen the faces of the hardened criminals pressed hard against the iron bars, curious to know what was going on. Out through the portals of the will passed the un- happy woman, and all stepped into @ close carriage that was in readiness for them, and tne driver drove rapidly away in the direction of the Court House, at the corper of Lexington street and Monument square. During the drive to the court room Mrs. Wharton seemed quite cheerful but her daughter seemed weighed down with a sense of the terrible situation in which she would soon be placed, and said very iittle. To avoid the eyes of the curious who might have got an inkling of what was to be done in this case at this morning’s session of the Criminal Court, the carriage Was driven to the corner o! St. Paul and Lexington streets and the party alighted and walked down the street to the Court House, and at half-past nine o’clock entered the Criminal Court room she took her seat im an obscured place pro- vided for prisoners almost unobserved. in @ few moments it became known that she had been brougnt in, and the halls leading to the court room were soon thronged with @ motiey crowd anxious to see the prisoner and usten to the details that were ae be presented. None out attorneys and members ortne press were admitted until the hour designated for the opening of the Court. ‘At five minutes of ten o'clock Judge Gilmore came in, took his seat and rapped the Court to order, and Mrs. Wharion’s counsel, I. Nevitt steele and John H. Thomas, immediately followed, and at once held a consultauon with their client. Ina moment Mr. Thom as sougat Mr. Leo Knott, State Attoruey, and these two gentiemen held a moment's conversation with Judge Gilmore. The movements ot Court and coun- sel were Watched carefully by tho eager crowa of attorneys and press that had been admitted to see if they could not divine what was to transpire. Atten-o’clock the (loors were thrown open ant the room rapidly filled up. AS soon as quiet was restored Mr. Steele came from where Mrs, Wharton was ane and sald something in a low tone to the cle: and then returned to Mrs. Wharton, and in @ moment she and her Gaughter, accompanied by the counsel, were seen to get up from where they were. sitting and advance toward the clerk's desk. All eyes in that crowded court room were riveted upon the spot toward which, they were advancing, and almost breathless silence prevailed, and every nerve was stretched to its utmost. tension to hear what she nt say. the end of the clerk’s desk she halted when daughter stepped behind, while her counsel stood at her right, As she stopped she quietly lifted her veil fram her face, reresting @ counte- nance peculiarly attractive for a laty of her age. Her large, lustrous brown oyes shone with the briliiancy of youth and lighted up the pale, careworn, features to an extent that made. them beautiful in thetr sorrowful expression and gained ber the nee, of all whosawher. The daughter, wa e ber mother, was dressed in deep mourning, remained heavily vetied during the. time Mra. Wharton was occupied at the: cierk’s. aesk. oment er Mra.
