Tue Carnese IN CALIFoRNIA have not been so long away from the Flowery Kingdom witb- out learning somewhat of 'Melican man's ways. The Chinese companies in San Francisco have commenced suits against the city of Los An- geles for the damages sustained by their coun- trymen in the late riats. Tux Rev. De. Contyer, who since the great Chicago fire bas been preaching to his flock near the rains of his church, says that “those people who bave been thanking God for the burning of Chicago are not those people who have been burned out, you know.” ComPreo.ikr CONNOLLY has done the city and the State some service in turning over his department to Mr. Green «s his deputy ; but it is thought that Mr. Connolly migbt do atill greater service to the public in devoting some evening after the election to a free conversa- tion on the mysteries of the ‘“‘Ring” with Mr. O'Conor. Frep Dovetass was yesterday unanimously nominated for Assembly by the Republican Convention for the Second district of Monroe county. As the district is strongly democratic it is not at all likely that the colored orator will baye an opportunity to ventilate his rhetoric in the Legislature next winter. Tae Perxceg, in failing to come up to time, will most likely fail in giving us any assistance in our imperial election; but in coming a day or two after the fair he will get his parade of the N. G. S. N. Y., we sappose, and we are giad to say that the soldiera who will have to do the marching will not be required to pay for the music. Ove PreacHers or THR GosrKL in their discourses to-day will doubuess, in many cases, find it expedient to touch upon the duties of all good citizens in reference to Tuesday's election; and though we do not like to see these godly men dabbling in the dirty pool of party politics, we think that on this occasion they may be excused if they do dabble a little in the pool of the ‘‘Ring.” BisManck ON THE AsPEcT ror War Is Ev- ropg.—Prince Bismarck’s speech to the mem- bers of the Prussian Legislature on the sub- ject of the National War Fund bill is one of ‘be most important open enunciations which the world bas bad from the famous German statesman for a long time past. Bismarck tells the Prussians to make ready for war. He avers that such apreparation is rendered absolutely necessary by the existing condi- tion of affairs in the Old World, When ince Bismarck makes euch an assertion he Con full well the grounds on which he makes it, so that we are forced to accept the bonelusion that Europe is approaching another and grand convulsion by war, for such is ly the indication conveyed in a cable tele- pram which reached us from Berlin ot ao per't hour this morning, ‘The Marrmze Relation—A Groat Ficld tor Referm te Oharch and State. In this age of profligacy and licentiousness it is proper from time to time to remind legis- lators.and communities of their relations toward God and the State and toward each other. Some of those relations are doubly sacred, because hallowed by the divine sanc- tion ard blessing, and among the sweetest and most important of these is the marriage rela- tion, whose sacredness becomes now more than ever apparent here, in view of the com- plications and developments of polygamy ond free-lovism—twin relics of barbarism. We may not always be able to mete out a just punishment to the parties who, in defiance of right, justice and law, moral and human, break into individual families and by fraud and cunning destroy the household gods and disturb the domestic peace, They lead cap- tive silly women under the guise of “‘spiritual affinities,” aud then, practising iniquity in secret places, snap their fingers at the denun- cintions of the law of God and the statutes of the State or nation. But the men and the women who openly defy both laws, and pretend to do so by divine revelation, these we may arrest and punish.- And there can be little doubt that the operation of national laws in Utah will speedily destroy that system of barefaced adaltery which prevails there under the name and garb of polygamy. But what shall we do with its twin sister hore? How shall we compass its ruin, seeing that it is bolstered up by so-called religious papers as well as by some of the leading secular dailies of this city and country ? It may be a difficult task, but in the interest of morality and religion we lift our voice now against free-lovism as well as acainst polygamy, and demand the utter uprooting of the one as well as of the other. And the former we consider the more dan- gerous of the two. Our despatches from Salt Lake City for the past week or two show conclusively that polygamy is practically dead and gone. The ‘‘Saints” themselves admit that they have been cornered, and they see no means of escape except through Congress. Hence their Delegate, Hooper, has gone to Washington a month ahead to “lobby” against Justice McKean and the Gentiles who are prosecuting or persecuting (as some of them think) the Mormons. Brigham Young, the chief polygamist, has taken ‘the Southern route” for his health’s sake, and a Deputy Marshal bas gone on the same track for the law's sake, and ere long we expect to learn that Brigham and the Marshal are returning together. The original bravado has oozed out of the fingers of the Sainis, and instead of taking up arms to defend their vile system, or setting fire to their property and burning it up wholesale, and departing elsewhere to per- petuate their vice, they are, like good citizens and sensible men, submitting with the best grace they can command to the fiat of the law. Only let the law be enforced against free- lovers, and communists among us, too, and all will be well. The marriage relation, in its importance and in the order of time, stands next to that of the relation of the creature to the Creator. Its character is both spiritual and natural, and the former should always tak> precedence of the latter. But when, under the plea of “spiritual affinities,” the gratification of ‘‘the lust of the flesh” only is sought we may con- clude that there is, after all, no real spiritual affinity in the case. God is not the author of confusion, but. of peace, and His anathema is declared against adultery and lust, whether ft be in the thought or the act. The family relation which springs from the marriage relation is too important in the economy and government of the Great Father to be ruthlessly torn asunder by any such spe- cial pleadings as the, advocates of polygamy and free love have yet presented, or can pre- sent, tous. Through the family the revela- tion of God's good will to man has been made known. Through it also the Saviour of man- kind came into the world, and during His earthly career He frequently acknowledged it= importance and declared its divine origin. And through it the salvation which He brought to the race has been extended to the remotest bounds of the earth. Through the family the civilization of Christianity has become the power that it is to-day in the world, and we may with safety assert that whenever—if ever—the family relation shall go down Chris- tianity must go down with it. Through the family relation also, it is, that heathenism in all its gross, revolting and debasing forms is established and perpet- uated, and our missionaries in India, China and Africa to-day find their great opposition in the family. _In the streets and market places and highways they can secure ready listeners to the trnths of the Gospel, but they cannot enter the stronghold of the family. Hence it has been found absolutely necessary of late years to organize female missionary associa- tions, in the hope that women might be able to accomplish fn the families of the heathen what the men have failed in doing. In every land and in every age of the world the marriage and the family relations have stood forth as peculiarly designed by God and as meriting and receiving His gracious smile and favor. And we may hope that greater bless- ings are in store in the future for both. But the purity and the unity of both must be pre- served intact, and every violation of their sanctity must be punished to the fullest extent of the law. It cannot excuse our remissness in this regard to know that Messrs. Beecher and Frothingham and Tilton and Greeley advocate looseness and licentiousness in the marriage relation, and inferentially and natu- rally in the family also. We must enforce the State and national laws against every breach of the same, and must educate the people up to the standard that marriage is a divine as well as @ civil contract, and then we shail noi have to record so many unhappy matrimonial alliances and suits for divorce every year, nor so many examples of loose- ness of morals in the family as have lately been brought to public notice by the untimely ending of the subjects thereof. Here is work for the pulpit and the press during the winter campaign against vice and sin. We hope the Church and the press will prepare themselves for the contest. Here we have, too, not only a great and inviting field of labor for the Church and the press, but also for the State; to churchmen and statesmen there is no field of labor more urgently calling for laborers than this, The marriage institation is the foundetign of hu- man society, It was the consummation of the sublime work of the Creation, The organic law {3 one man and one woman, and the blend- ing and the binding together of the two lives as one; and all departures from this organic law have brought their punishments, and are and will be followed by their penalties to the fam- ily, the community and the nation, in propor- tion to the extent of the crime. Upon this all- mportant matter the Roman Catholic Church holds, in our judgment, the true doctrine of the marriage institution as established in the Creation, and as confirmed in the New Testa- ment, in this—that marriage is a sacred com- pact between the parties, binding them till death. But admitting the numerous griev- ances pleaded elsewhere aa each, in many cases, not only justifying, but oalling for di- vorce, on the ground of humanity, it cannot be denied that the doctrines of free love preached or countenanced in some of our churches, and the facilities and excuses for dtvorce estab- lished in many of our States, are sapping the very foundations of American society. The divorces of Indiana, for example, and Chicago divorces, have each become a by- word and @ reproach, and as indicating o ooseness of the marriage relation only a de- gree or two removed from Mormon polygamy or the Oneida free love community. We en- tertain the hope, from the active judicial war at last in full progress against the saintly po- lygamy of Utah, that it will soon result in the removal of this ‘twin relic of barbarism ;” but an indignant citizen of Utica calls our atten- tion to “‘another relic of barbarism right bere in our midst, whose lewd and lascivious con- duct is worse than Mormonism—I mean the Oneids Community or Free Love Association,” and he suggests that, ‘‘as the ball against vice has commenced rolling in the West, we should keep it rolling East until every vestige of Mor monism and free lovism shall be crushed out of every part of this free and enlightened land.” As a beginning for New York in the great work of repairing and strengthening the foundations of American society, in strengthening the sacred institution of mar- riage, and in deference to the hint from our Utica memorialist,. we would submit to our or- thodox churchmen that, in calling the atten- tion of our next Legislature to this cancerous excrescence of the Oneida Community, they may achieve a reform as beneficent in its effects as those which we expect from the re- construction of our city government. Tho Ministerial Crisis im Austria. The crisis which has lasted for some days in Austria seems at last about to be ended. The Baron Von Kellersperg has all but completed his Cabinet appointments, and the new names promise to be satisfactory. The Baron will himself hold the portfolio of the Interior and assume the duties of President of the Council. The Financial Department will be under the care of Holzgethan. De Stremayer is to be Minister of Worship ; Chlimetsky, Minister of Justice ; De Pleuer, Minister of Commerce, and the War Department and the Bareau of Agri- culture are to be presided over respectively by Schoel and Grocholski. Some of the names are new, but most of them are well known. Grocholski is a Galician Pole, and was a vigorous supporter at one time of the policy of Hobenwart; Holzgethan and Stremayer were members of the Potocki administration ; De Pleuer belonged to the Cabinet of Count de Taafe. According to the cable despatch the new President of the Council has made it public, through the official organs, that the policy which he pursued when in opposition, and which resulted in the expulsion of the Hohenwart Ministry, will be adhered to and vigorously followed out. It is not our opinion that the trouble in Austria is to be brought to an end by the success of the. new Ministry. The evil is radical, and time is necessary, if, indeed, time can cure it. The policy of de- centralization has been pushed by Count Hohenwart far beyond the limits ever intended by Baron Beust. The German population in the Austrian empire are resolutely opposed to it, and the Hungarians in this matter are of one mind with the Germans. It will surprise some of oar readers to know that this decentral- ization movement is at bottom reactionary. It is conservative in the worst sense, and its principal leaders are ultramontane—the very men who, in the young years of Francis Joseph, bound Austria hand and foot and sold him to Rome. The chances are daily becom- ing fewer and fewer that the King of Hungary will ever have to submit to the humiliation of being crowned King of Hungary; the chances are daily becoming more and more numerous that the Austrian empire will at no distant day break up and that dissatisfied Ger- mans and Czechs alike will find contentment and security within the limits of the restored Germanempire. It was so once. Why should it not be so again, even despite the imperial manifesto which has been just issued, and of which we have the points in our telegram from Prague to-day? Tur Case or W. M. Tweep.—Will W. M. Tweed be re-elected to the Senate? As the controlling political elements of his district are, according to democratic authority, ont- laws, vagrants, loafers, vagabonds and ‘‘bum- mers,” they would probably go for him if he were under conviction and awaiting his sen- tence as a robber of the public treasury. He will, therefore, in all probability, be re- elected, and if so will doubtless go to Albany to claim his seat, as with a decisive vindica- tion from his constituents. But each House of the Legislature is the final ‘judge of the elections, returos and qualifications of its own members,” and should Mr. Tweed show him- self in the Senate, as a member thereof, on or after the 1st of January next, we cannot doubt that a motion will be made to expel him as disqualified to sit in that body in consequence of the high crimes and misdemeanors with which he is connected as a guilty party. Whatever may be the general results of Tues- day's elections to the State Senate, if Tweed is among them we cannot believe it possible that he will be allowed to take his seat, One or Ovr Contemvorartes, which plumes itself upon its superior foreign correspond- ence, might have the journalistic courtesy to give acknowledgment when it copies bodily our translation of a long and interesting narra- tive, instead of passing it off, as it apparently does, as its own production, Our contempo- rary is ever welcome to enliven its columns by the republication of our news, but it is not too much to agk that it may namo the gource. Our Religions Proes Table. The political situation in this city and county is the chief topic for editorial comment in the columns of our local religious contemporaries this week. The Observer—Presbyterian organ—asks the indulgence of its readers outside the State of New York while it makes a special appeal to those in it, and especially in this city, in re- gard tothe election on Tuesday next. The Observer proceeds to observe, under the text of “Christians Called to the Polls”:— make now to our fellow citizens is at OF pega but to patriot and von, tearonsenee na ngoraes, are fairly set against one another; and we are going into aa elec- lion on that issue, * * * ‘e have long con- tended for an honest man’s party; and now, at the Soa see catty orks Kiag's Own, x0 hurt 1n10 the We could carry the day for the right, 00 euch party exists, Why don't the Observer call upon the “bloody Sixty-ninth” to do the work it seeks from the ‘Old Guard” or the “King’s Own?” What ‘King’s Own” it refers to, by the way, we are a little at a loss to discover. Perhaps it means Colonel Pratt’s regiment of Kings county—a very gallant regiment, to bring out which needs no special writ of habeas corpus if an emergency demands its appearance in martial array. The Odserver’s columns this week further- more show that its chief editor is again at his post. For example, besides the political sit- uation in this clty, the subjects of “A Church Enriched by Robbery,” the ‘Organization of. Charity,” “Mock Turtle Repudigted” (a beau- tifal idea, probably meaning ‘‘Monk Turtle”), “Fiery Trials,” ‘Beans and Potatoes Wanted,” and so on—beans and potatoes especially. The Observer is becoming a very readable and spicy paper without libellous caricatures. The Independent—Congregationalist—dives into “the lowest depth,” and drags up the gaunt remains of a gentleman somewhat talked of and written about lately, to wit, William M. Tweed, declaring that he has not stolen a loaf of bread or a hodful of coal—a theft which would have been quickly enough punished ; he has plunged his arm to the shoulder into the treasure vaults of the city of which he was le- gal protector and has abstracted millions. When ‘‘Boss” Tweed became “‘legal protector of the treasure vaults of the city” is not clearly defined by the Independent writer. It has been generally supposed that Comptroller Connolly, or his Deputy-in-Chief, Andrew H. Green, was the legal custodian of the city’s funds; at any rate, they act as if one or the other of them were. And again the Indepen- dent wrings the impenitent hearts of an ex- State Senator and an ex-Cobgressman as fol- lows :— Think of it, citizens of New York—cituzens of the United States ! A branded and convicted thief will be elected as your Senator at Albany! It is not out of keeping with tne past, Braisers and gzellers have been our Aldermen and our Assemblymen. We have sent as our Representative to Col the most notorious prize-fighter vas) gambler t! ever took 51 passage from the bogs of [reiand. It is well .uat our people should see it—it is an im- pressive spectacie to beloid—the it thief on this Continent chosen legislator of tue State! He mises to be elected by a majority of thirty thousand. ow he is to doit will be understood when we remember that three years ago his own Ward gave his candidate, Governor Hoffinan, one thousand and eighty-nine more bailots than 1 con- tained voters. The Independent regards as the ‘important event of the past week” (to the religious world) to have been the twenty-fifth annual meeting of the American Missionary Associa- tion in Hartford. Dr. Horace Bushnell pre- sided. This association has undoubtedly done much good toward civilizing the barbarians of the far East and other heathen regions. But why don’t it try to do something for our own benighted fellow citizens—the negroes in the South, the Indians—those who, pay taxes—in the West and the Ku Klox Klans, wherever they may now exist or may have collapsed? Here are fields for the exercise of the most generous spirit of missionary goodness, and, for that matter, the association might take a peep into some of our local official depart- ments and see whether some preaching and less preying might not be of service there. The Evangelist strikes out squarely on the subject of ‘‘Party Obligations—How Far Bind- ing,” taking the ground that no party obliga- tions are sufficiently binding to compel the partisan Yo sustain corruption and frand. Says the Zeangelist :— When truly good men enter into politics, and take sides with a party, they ougnt to be quite as eager to keep their own party clear of sname and reproach as to seek a victory over their opponents, When this kind of honor enters into our political afairs the success of either party will not endanger the saicty of the State. The eyes of the Golden Age are not dazzled by what it terms the brilliancy of General Grant's administration. The following are the sum and sufstance of the Golden Age's views :— Not even the plea of availability can be urged in President Grant's behalf, Wheh he was originally nominated it was said that no other man could carry the country. No such statement can be truthfull made now. Since the Tammany frauds have spilt the democratic party in twain any good republican can be clected the next President. General Grant 1s not at all: necessary to a victory of the repubit- cans in 1872, Cnai Sumner would receive a higher vote than he. So would Horace Greeley. So would ang one of &@ «ozen other statesmen, It is no time, thereiore, to be renominating President Grant. term of such aman is enongh., Two terms would be @ calamity. The President will no doubt be much exer- cised in minfl and disturbed in his sleep and in his dreams when he finds that his brother Tilton has gone back on him in this unhand- some manner. The Jewish Times thus appeals to the voting population of its own sect :— Vote for the man of whom you know that lie will not barter away your trust, that he is not seexing the office to earich himself, Help to restore the good name of this commonwealth. Your most pressing business on Tuesday is to deposit your ballot and to lend your influence to the success of the reform movement and of the reform ticket in this city and State. We find nothing of importance to reproduce from the columns of our country religious press. But they all look as if they were in o healthy and prosperous condition and the spirit of the Gospel were prevailing plenti- fally all over the land, Garvey, some say, is at Montevideo, South America, but others say that he has gone to Switzerland, to await, perhaps, the arrival there of the Geneva High Joint Commission on those Alabama claims, in order to get another big job of plastering. Ingersoll has, perhaps, gone to Chicago to look after a fur- niture contract for the new Court House which they must have in that unfortunate city, Woodward has, perhaps, gone to Kentucky to purchase a new lot of fast horses for his af- ternoon drives on the boulevards. Tweed re- mains in the city, and has money enough, per- haps, to justify him in facing the music and fighting it out on that line if it takes all win- ter. and the regular battle qvegs on Tuesday. YOKK HERALD, SUNDAY. NOVEMBEK 5, I87L--TKIPL SHEET. Calvary Cometery. Shakspeare perhaps never showed more clearly his intimate knowledge of human ns- ture than when he represented the grave-digger in Hamlet relieving the monotony of his labor with ribald jests, It may be that grave-dig- ging human nature will continue to exhibit the same characteristic indifference to propriety which tho great dramatist noticed in his day. With the evidence furnished in our columns to-day from unquestionable sources, it would appear that the diggers of our time carry ribald indecency to a point not dreamed of by their fellows of a past age, who were wont at least to respect the feelings of the living. Such scenes as are reported of daily occurrence at Calvary Cemetery evidence a coarseness and vulgarity that are s reproach to our civiliza- tion. Among all-men and in all times the cere- mony of burial has been regarded as a most solemn and sacred rite, and outside the profes- sional grave digger we do not think that any one ever selects a grave as a fitting place for obscene jest. That men can be so degraded as to make merry over the dead is revolting, but our feelings of disgust are intensified when we think that there are beings so lost to all sense of propriety as to make exhibition of their facetiousness in presence of mourning friends. Brutality and ignorance can go no farther, cannot allege ignorance as an excuse and yet are responsible for the continuance of these scenes? As will be seen in another column, 8 number of trastees, with the Catholic Arch- bishop of New York as the president, control the cemetery where these disgraceful scenes are of daily occurrence, and yet no effort is made to remedy them and introduce that decency and decorum which are found in the other metropolitan cemeteries. It is an important question for the Catholic com- munity of New York whether or not they will continue to suffer the abuse of power which is evidenced in the mismanagement of their property by practically irresponsible trustees, The discontinuance of an annual report by these trustees will not serve to increase public confidence, especially at this moment, when men are morbidly sensitive as to the control and disposition of money. It will not be pre- tended that the people have no right to inves- tigate the actions of the trustees, for there can be no question that this valuable property belongs not to the Archbishop, nor to the trustees, but to the Catholic community for whose benefit it was acquired. In this free country men will look with disfavor on any attempt to vest rights which belong to the people in close corporations, for experience teaches us that invariably when this occurs corruption creeps in. We do not purpose to do more than to call attention to what we know to be a disgrace to the diocese and a grievance to the Catholic community; but if no steps be taken to remedy the evils to which we now publicly invite attention we shall at some future day return to the subject and offer some suggestions for the abatement of the nuisance. ‘Ime Ory Catnorio Party i Bavarta.— A letter which we publish in another column to-day from the Hxratp correspondent in Munich gives aninteresting and an instructive résumé of the ‘‘old Catholic” movement in Bavaria, led by Dr. Déllinger. It deals par- ticularly with the political side of the subject. From its inception to the present stage of the movement the correspondent treats the matter in a fair and impartial manner. To those who feel at all interested in the religious agitation now attracting the attention of the Catholic professors of Germany the letter will afford touch satisfaction. The position taken by the Bavarian ministry is unmistakably on the side of the ‘‘old Catholics,” in opposition to the. party recognized as the ultramontanes. Von Liitz, a member of the Bavarian ministry, is a strong upholder of the position taken by Dr. Dillinger and his adherents, and from the position taken by the government on the Catholic question lately it is evident that the old Catholics will have all the liberty they desire in religious matters. PourrtcAr, DEMORALIZATION IN Spainx.— Spanish party prejudice is still all powerful against the cause of interaal peace, order and executive tranquillity in Spain. The political leaders in Madrid seem anxious to lay hold of any instrument, no matter how dangerous the agency may be, in order to use it against their opponents, particularly if these latter are in the enjoyment of govern- ment place and power. Sefior Zorilla has broken off from Sagasta. He threatens to employ the subject of the existence of the International Society in the kingdom as a Parliamentary weapon for the injury of the present Ministry. He will require to know how the organization has been treated—how it will be treated in the future. This dis- cussion can scarcely produce any benefit, except it may be to the Internationals. Zorilla is about to “play with edged tools.” The King’s government even may be “hoisted” by his “‘petard.” Political party zealots are very dangerous to the interests of a wholesome executive, Now THAT THE ‘‘THERMOMETRIO GATEWAYS” theory is confirmed by the grand discovery of Payer and Weyprecht, it is well to remember the men who have so long defended its sound- ness ih the teeth of the most bitter and per- sistent opposition. To Captain Bent and Mr. Thompson B. Maury clearly belongs the great merit of having kept this solution of the Arctic problem prominently before the public. With pen and voice they have for years struggled for the truth and have braved the contempt of not a few of the most prominent of the scientific world. At a meeting of the New York Geographical Society, not so many years ago, Judge Daly made a refutation of Mr. Manry’s exposition of the Bent theory the subject of his annual address. Let us now all cordially agree in awarding them the praise due to the victors in a gallantly waged fig ht. TAMMANY REPUBLICANS find little favor in the rural districts, The» Zvlegraph, of But- falo, the leading German republican paper in western New York, yesterday havled down the name of L, L. Lewis, republican candi- date for State Senator, and substituted the nawe of W. G. Fargo, the democratic nomi- nee. Lewis is accused of uniformly support- ing Boss Tweed’s bills in the last Legislature. Henoe the Germans determined to defeat his re-election, But what shall be said of those who | se The Mexican noveruten, A Hegarp special telegram from Mexico brings the news report which we publish to- day of the condition of affairs which exists in the neighboring republic. The advices em- brace the current history of events, under & Monterey date of the 25th ultimo, de- spatched from Matamoros, The situation was not materially changed. General Tre- vino remained outaide of Saltillo, His army ‘force was equal to an attack on the town, bus his supply of artillery insufficient for an effect- ive support of the movement. Operations were delayed in consequence. Martial law prevailed inside, the place having been de- clared in a state of siege by the governmeat commander, Cerillo. General Martinez was 03 the opposite side of Saltillo. His interruption of the lines of communication with the interior was persistently continuous. General Cerillo asked the government for a reinforcement to his artillery, but his correspondence was captare@ and published in the Monterey newspapers. Isidra Trevino, Governor elect of Coahuila, died in the camp of General Trevino from the effects of hardshipand exposure. He had just joined the revolutionary party. Goneral Co- rona was said to be marching to take the command of the government forces. Cortins was still preparing to assail Navanjo. Allthe cattle stealers on the borders of the Rie Grande are said to have joined his army, se that that particular line of crime has disap- peared from the river territory, for 4 season, at least, This tends to verify the adage, ‘It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.” Tho Mermens and Their Troubles. In the Henatp of yesterday we published an interview had by one of our correspondents with Bishop Sharpe, of Utah. The Bishop is full of confidence, notwithstanding the sor- rows which have gathered around his favorite institutions :— RerorTER—Have you any intention, as a people, of, leaving Utah for some more fortunate place, where you might do as you pleased? Mr. SHARPE—NO. sir. Our interests there are teo vast and varied to easily forsake. We found tae country when we firat entered it (\t was then apart of Mexico) a wilderness, and by industry and ted we nave made it into agaraen, budding and blos- soming like the rose, leeining with all the elements: of wealth, aud we are not going to quictly abandom it now, when our work 1s nearly done and we ace living in comparative comfort. All this is no doubt true; but, for all that, Mormonism must go to the wall. Itis a blet upon the republic, and, with as little delay as possible, it must be wiped out, Delegate Hooper will no doubt soon find out that Gea- eral Grant means business, and that, having put his hand to the plough, there is but small chance that he will look back. Bishop Sharpe indulges the hope that some compromise may yet be arrived at and that matters will not be pushed to extremities, While we cannot write a word in favor of the further toleration of polygamy, we cannot refuse to admit that some consideration is due to a complicated state of things which the government of the United States, if it has not indirectly encouraged, has at least long winked at. In putting down the twin relic all harsh measures must be avoided. The women and the children are not to be flung upon the cold charity of the world. Tue Para Mission To THE SuLTaN.—The special mission which waa recently despatched from the Court of the Holy See to that of the Sultan of Turkey has failed in its object—the obtainment,of an amelioration of the everyday condition and ecclesiastical status of the Ro- man Catholics who live under the lay rule of His Majesty. Monsignor Franchi hes taken bie departure from Constantinople for Rome. The government of the Sublime Porte appears, judging from the words of our cable tele- gram, to be as prejudiced, or conservative, aa in past days on the subject of toleration te Christians; for it looks as if the imperial refusal to enter into discussion - om the subject of the position of the Catholics applied to the members of all the other missionary churches, as well as to those who worship in the fold of St. Peter. It appears also as if the Turkish government remains impenetrable to even the most gentle influences when they are intended for the ultimate refinement and elevation of its aub- jects. Taere Never Was Svom aN EXxainrrion béfore in all the annals of the civilized world as that of the wholesale spoliations from the public treasury made manifest in those Broadway Bank disclosures. There never was such another exhibition of bold defiance of public opinion as that of W. M. Tweed as a candidate for the State Senate in the face of these astounding disclosures against him. His election, under the circumstances, will be a scandal and a reproach to this community which will be echoed around the world, and yet the chances are in favor of his election, and he asks for thirty thousand majority. And if his fol- lowers vote by handreds aud count by thoa- sands, ‘“‘what are you going to do about it?” Greetry aXp Gripixy.—The main quese tion in this election, according to Greeley, is Gridley; but it appears that, according to Gridley, it is Greeley, The friends of Mr. Greeley, however, will please remember that a vote for Gridley is a vote for Greeley against General Grant and Collector Murphy, and that the main question is Grant or Greeley for the White House. Tue Propuce Excnanar has decided to make a complete holiday of Tuesday, in order that its members may have full opportunity to help the work of reform at the polls. THE WEATHER.
