THE 'ER- —— i Somy or tHe Gems from General Butler's defence of the back-pay salary grab are printed in the Herarp this morning. They are spicy reading, for whenever General Butler tries to say anything, whether it is popular or | unpopular, he puts it in language that is un- mistakable, ‘Tae Law's Proversian Dexay, particularly in the punishment of capital crimes, is once more illustrated in the case of the murderer Sharkey, who was sentenced to be hanged at the last term of the Court of General Sessions. Upon application by counsel for the con- demned man Judge Pratt has granted a writ of error, which in thts case is tantamount to a stay of proceedings. But this is only the prologue to the old, old farce of legal quibbles which will probably he enacted before the Su- preme Court at its next meeting in September, when Sharkey’s lawyer will make a desperate attempt to obtain for him a new trial. Taz News rrom Span does not mate- rially alter the situation. The Carlist vic- tories show that in the north Don Carlos and | The Virginia and Ohio Conventions First Skirmishes of a Political Cam- paign. In three important States of the Union, representing in a great measure three sections of the country, and having considerable influ- ence over these sections, preparatory steps are being taken for the clection of Governors and other State officials, Wo refer to Vir- ginia, Ohio and Massachusetts. The first two have just held party conventions for nommat- ing candidates and declaring the principles upon which they appeal to the public, and the last has entered upon the preliminary discus- sion of the fitness and availability of those who aspire to be nominees. Virginia, before the war, generally led the Southern States in great political movements; and, though shorn of its power considerably by the radical revo- lution that followed that event and by the di- vision of the State, it has still a good deal of in- fluence over publio sentiment in the South. It is reasonable to expect, consequently, that the contest there, though for ' State officials only, will have some effect upon the politics of the South, and will indicate, to some extent, the strength of parties in that section. That it is so understood by the men who took # prominent part in the Virginia conventions is evident, for in their speeches and the platform thoy adopted little reference was made to local or State questions, while a great deal was said about national and sectional affairs. Ohio, the largest State of the West, may not have as much influence over the politics of that section as Virginia has even now over those of the South, but it has some corresponding to its large population, geographical position, and mental activity. The election in that State, whether in favor of the democrats or republi- cans, will go far, probably, to direct the polit- ical current in other Western States. The Democratic Convention, just held at Colum- bus, has opened the campaign vigorously on issues of a national character mainly, as par- ties in Virginia have, which shows that the politicians regard these coming State elections as the first skirmishes of a great contest in the future. In Massachusetts the nominating convention is yet to be held. That State being thoroughly republican the question now being agitated is not one of party so much as of the choice of individual candidates. Though it is the greatest of the Eastern States, and though its radical ideas have imbued the New England mind gen- erally, the approaching election there is not likely to have much political influence beyond the limits of the State. It is, then, in the South and West, and in Virginia and Ohio first, where we are to look for indications of the strength of parties and of the political future. And what is the pros- pect? The administration of General Grant is strongly intrenched and fortified in and through the republican party, and by reason of the management of the national finances, the reduction of the public debt and the gen- eral prosperity of the country. It is the ad- ministration of the republican party, and that party takes credit jointly with the President tor these things. Whatever grounds there may be for the strictures of the opposition on the management of the national finances or policy of the Treasury Department, the facts that stand out prominently to impress tlie people are that the debt has been reduced dur- ing the time General Grant has held office nearly four hundred millions, and that the country is at peace and prosperous. If the opposition argue that the prosperity of the country arises from its resources and the in- dustry of the people and not from the admin- istration, that the finances might have been better managed, taxation further reduced and specie payments within nearer reach, the peo- ple may respond that they accept what is accomplished in preference to possibilities, and are content. The American people are con- servative and apt to be satisfied with moderate well-doing. As longas things go on smoothly in government they are not inclined to be captious over some defects, to try experi- ments or to change. Herein, then, lies the strength of the administration and the repub- lican party. Relying upon this, and sup- ported by the President, Colonel Hughes, as the candidate for Governor of Virginia, and the other republican candidates for State offices, are well fortified. The same may be said of the republicans of Ohio. Indeed, in Ohio they have the prestige and advantage of hav- ing held the State fora longtime by large majorities. Now, what issue can the democrats, or con- servatives, as some of them prefer to call themselves, raise to overthrow a party so strongly intrenched? Neither political plati- tudes nor the revival of dead issues will do, nor will respectable candidates, such as Allen for Governor of Ohio and Kemper for Gover- nor of Virginia, without live questions upon which to appeal to the people. Mere denun- ciation of the administration or republican party, even though there be faults to con- demn, will not answer. That sort of nega- tive claim to support cannot, in these times of comparative apathy and content, much in- fluence voters. What can or will you do for us more than the administration party? is the question the people ask of the democrats. And that question, after all, is the basis of all political movements and changes. In Virginia there is a more weil-defined issue, as, in fact, there is throughout the South, than im the West or other sections of the country. That is, the question of negro su- premacy, either through the overwhelming vote of the blacks, as in some few of the his friends can do much as they please. The cessation of the Valencia bombardment still | leaves the country in chaos. The reappear- | ance of the name of Espartero encourages the belief that the adherents of Alfonso, Isabella’s son, are about to make an effort not to re- | store order, but to add another element of dis- cord. The special Herarp correspondent, | writing from Madrid, again gives an ad- | mirable view of the political and military situa- tion as he found it on July 19. After a caustic | description of the Cortes—the most undelib- erative body in the world—he details a con- | versation with the unfortunate General Nou- | viles. Perhaps no part of this letter is worthy of more attentive examination than | that wherein our correspondent describes the | ultimate fate of the Carlists should they de- | seend from their rocky fastnesses into the | Ploins of Onstile. As yet the Carlists have either numbers nor generalship, though they ave displayed amazing energy and a devo- Gon to their cause truly heroic. Of Salmeron BT Correspondent speaks with hope, States, or through the affiliation and control of what are called ‘carpet-baggers” and | “‘sealawags’’ in others. This was uppermost in the minds of the speakers at the Richmond | Convention. One speaker thanked God that | Virginia was better off than other Southern States because she had pursned a conservative course and had successfully maintained o white man’s government. But this negro question is like a two-edged sword, cutting | both ways. While the Southerners talk of a white man’s government the negroes will vote in mass against them and will go for ‘carpet- | baggers,"’ ‘‘scalawags’’ or anything else to defeat them, no matter if they ruin them- | selves and their country by doing so. It is unfortunate that this hostility of races has been | | | | evoked, for it has proved most disastrous | and may become the source of great | trouble. The republican party is most to blame for that in the determined policy it pur- sued of using these poor ignorant blacks as an element of political power, though the Southern whites must be blamed for not con- ciliating and acting with their former slaves. Ignorant as the negroes are, they are banded together, through secret associations and other means, and will, almost toa man, sup- port the republican administration candi- dates. In the States where they form a ma- jority of the population the governments will remain, probably, republican. In Virginia and some other States, where the whites are most numerous, their power will depend upon the number and influence of ‘‘scalawags”’ and “‘oarpet-baggers,"" who may unite with them. And this is really the issue in Virginia, hotwith- standing the talk and resolutions about time- honored democratic principles on one hand and administration conservatism on the ether. In Ohio the democrats do not touch the negro question, except incidentally, in refer- ring to “the act of the President in setting up by the bayonet a government in Louisiana not chosen by her people, and having no title whatever to rule over them, which was a fla- grant violation of her rights and of the federal constitution.” For the rest, they declare in their platform that the democratic party seeks to revive no dead issues, but stands by its principles, which are suited to all timos and circumstances. This, clearly, is cutting loose from the bond made with the liberal republi- cans at the Inst Presidential election. How- ever, thore is something like a new departure to accommodate the growing sentiment of tho West against railroad monopoly and other monopolies and in support of tho claims of the farmers and laborers of that section. While declaring that it appreciates the bene- fita conferred by railroads, the Columbus Con- vention “opposes all combinations of railroad companies to prevent competition and thus to enhance tho cost of transportation. It opposes all laws that give to capital any advantage over labor.” In these matters, however, and in coquetting or acting honestly with the farmers’ granges and other cognate associations, we suppose the republi- cans will bid os high as the democrats for votes. Where, then, will the democrats find a live and well-defined issue on which the party West and South, North and East, can unite? They do right, probably, in pre- serving their old organization and ‘‘time- honored principles,” while admitting such modifications as circumstances and constitu- tional changes have made, and thus mo longer attempting to engraft upon it the dogmas of pseudo-republicanism or radicalism. Tho question on which the democrats, both South and West, are most at sea and bewildered is that of free trade. This is really not a prac- tical one at present. The necessity of the government io raise a large revenue places that practically out of politics. It is useless to talk about free trade except as an abstract principle and for the purpose of approaching it at some future and distant period. The democratic party needs living and stirring issues, Who can find them? We might make some suggestions, but our object at. present is only to show the situation of political parties. The Transportation Problem—Action of Our Merchants. It becomes requisite, in the opinion of large numbers of prominent commercial men here and through the West, that there should be built between New York and Chicago a double-track railroad exclusively for freight, under one management and owner- ship the whole distance, with branches to other great Western cities and centres of farm production. In the opinion of these men, whose interests ond occupation give them peculiar familiarity with the subject, as stated in a memorial to Congress numerously signed, this road should be under a national incorpo- ration and stringently regulated by federal law, so that it should beand remain a great common highway for the convenience and advantage of all citizens. It-should tap the Western lake region and reach the great central rivers by the shortest and easiest lines, and should be equally at command of all who offer it freight. Its tracks should be open for all cars adapted to them, and its transit charges should be stringently limited to a liberal interest on the actual capital and the honest expense of running and maintaining the road and equip- ment. According to the estimate of the authors and signers of this memorial, which was printed in yesterday's Henaup, this road, “worked at about seven miles an hour, would carry from Chicago to New York every yeata tonnage equal to about four hundred and fitty million bushels of wheat and return an equal amount of freight from New York to Chicago.” The total receipts of grain and flour at New York during last year were a little short of ninety million bushels, and the aggregate at all our seaboard ports, including New Orleans and Montreal, was one hundred and sixty mil- lion bushels. Thus it will be seen that such a freight railroad as is contemplated in the me- morial we have quoted would, by itself, be able to bring to market nearly three times | the whole outflow of breadstuffs from thé Western granaries last year. Such a capacity would accommodate not alone the vast cereal crop, with its rapid increase, but would be available for bringing beef on the hoof, salted meats and other animal products, with minerals, lumber and many other articles of country production upon which now the freight tariffs are oppressively high. It need not for # mo- ment be feared that such a road would disturb be drawn into other channels than those which lead to her wharves ? A Good Look at Mormondom Through the Lorgnette of Mrs. Eliza Webb Young. The account which we print this morning of an interview with Mrs, Eliza Webb Young, the seventeenth wife of the pillar of Mormon- dom, will interest all who either have entered, or are about to‘ enter, or are anxious to got out of the married state. The description which the interviewer gives is not complimen- tary to polygamy as it exists in Utah, and is emphatically unfavorable to Brigham Young. The lady from whom the facts are gleaned speaks with an energy evidently inspired by suffering. At the early age of twenty-two, when Brigham Young first met her, she had already been married and divorced, and, heedless of several suitors who wore anxious to claim her hand, led a retired life’with her father and mother in Little Cottonwood. Here she was sought by that venerable blighter of female youth and inmocence, Brigham Young. If we are to receive Mrs. Eliza’s account without questioning, he was inspired more by vanity than any other passion, and sought her hand because it pleases his amour propre to display to the world a succession of new, young wives. Exuding at once tbat unctuous palaver and amorous magnetism for which those women who have come under his influence claim that he is renowned, he enticed her ear with “good counsel,’’ and persuaded her that when sho married again she should marry, not for love, but for the sake of having some one at hand who could give her sound advice. Wo confess that this isa way of looking at the subject which would never. have occurred to us. A woman sometimes marries a man on account of his beauty, but on account of his capacity to lecture, never! Having proceoded thus far, Brigham next endeavored to prove to his victim that he was that wise man upon whom it was prudent for her to fix her affections. He then introduced other inducements, in the shape of the offer of a house and one thousand dollars per year pocket money. He reminded her that his only object was not the gratification of a selfish passion, but the salvation of her poor, perishing soul, and her elevation to queenhood. Meanwhile he got the better of her brother in business negotiations and got the whole of poor Eliza’s family so under his thumb that (still following the line of the lady's account) she resolved to sacrifice herself and become his wife, in order to save her brother from his machinations and please her parents. The upshot was that they were married, the tri- umphant bridegroom presenting her with three dress patterns and a fifty dollar note as a wedding gift. is A few months after the marriage the pro- gramme was changed. Brigham not only left off visiting her, but even sent her and her mother to superintend one of his farms. Here he left them in almost total neglect, so that Mrs. Eliza counted herself happy when she could get five pounds of sugar, o quarter of a pound of tea and a few candles—beautiful fulfil- ments, these, of the ante-nuptial promise of pocket-money to the tune of one thousand dollars a year. Finally she took to keeping boarders, and amid all the troubles of one of the most trying vocations on earth, during which all she obtained from her husband was two calico dresses, she was attacked with pleurisy. Resolving to appeal to the humanity of Brigham, since all appeals to other feelings seemed likely to be wasted, sho managed to reach his office and made known her wretch- edness and needs. Instead of ordering her medical attendance and supplying her with every comfort an invalid in her condition could demand, he directed his commissary to give her ‘‘two bits’ worth of fresh meat,” and sent heron her way. This time her sense of outrage was strung to the highest point. She sold the goods which the house contained by auction and resolved to quit forever the man who had done nothing to justify the name of husband except make promises he had never fulfilled. Whether successful or not in her aims, she resolved that, for the sake of other women who had suffered llke her, she would make every effort to dissociate herself from one, of whose affection she could only claim the one-seventecnth share, and who had even dis- owned that share by treating her with tyranny and meanness, Mrs. Eliza’s story is eminently an interesting one. There is no unpleasant self-conscious- negs about it. She does not smirk and droop her head like a sewing machine girl ima plate glass window, but answers with frankness and courage the interrogatories put to her, without any frippery of feeling or manufactured emo- tion, Inadvertencies there may be in some of her remarks, but they are the inadvertencies of a wronged, disgusted and indignant woman, rébelling against the outrage which her sex endures at the hands of the despot of Utah, British Cabinet Changes. A cable despatch, special to the Herarp, brings to us the intelligence that important changes have just been made in the British Cabinet. It was known there was trouble when the prorogation took place, but it was not believed that the Cabinet dissensions would be exposed during the recess, The smouldering fires, however, could not be re- the business of our present lines, which are | built for and largely depend upon passenger carriage for their revenues, ‘Their freight | charges would be reduced to compete with the | great national freight road, of course; but there need be no fear that their earnings,| under honest management would fall below a fair interest on their actual cost. | To the farmers and business men of the | West some provision for freight, equivalent to | this, is an absolute necessity, though a national | road in the sense of governmental manage- | ment is not contemplated. They cannot | thrive while corn is rotting on the ground be- | cause of the greed or inability of railroad cor | porations, While thé West is thus vitally cor | cerned in this matter New York is equally in | terested in it, Her merchants, if properly ap- proached, would find their profit in building | the road. It could reach the seaboard else- | where, though no other port offers eqnal ad- vantages. Other wealthy and enterprising cities along the Atlantic coast are looking anxiously and laboring earnestly to offer at- tractions to the vast trade of the far Western food-raising districts, Shall the largest and richest of American cities, by inaction, vermit one of hex greatest sources of weglth to pressed. A Cabinet Council was held yester- day, and after some interchange of views the Marquis of Ripon, Mr. Childers and Mr. Baxter resigned their posts. Mr. Lowe is no longer Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Gladstone for the present, in addition to his duties as Prime Minister, taking charge of the Treasury—a plurality of office notat all unpre- cedented in British Parliamentary government. Mr. Lowe succeeds to the Home Office; and | Mr. Bruce, late Home Secretary, who is to be | stterncon. made a peer, takes the place of the Marquis of Ripon as President of the Council. Mr. Bonham’ Carter or Mr. Dodson, formerly chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, it is thought, will succeed Mr. | Baxter as Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Arthur Peel becomes liberal ‘‘whip’’ in liew of Mr. Glynn, who goes to the House of Lords. Mr. Bright joins the Cabinet as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, This looks like setting the house in order preparatory to a general election, Mr. Gladstone, for some time past, has been losing his hold of the House. The defeat sustained by the govern- ment yesterday in East Staffordshire by the retarn of Mr. Allsop, the tory candidate, shows vory clearly that Yr, Gladstgne canggt | The President as a Knight Errant— fonger hold office without an appeal to the country. The towns have, in most of the late elections, gone against him. The old liberal counties are also falling away from their former love. The general fecling of the country, in fact, is in favor of a change. During the recess the public pulse will be felt. In October or November Parlianient may be reassembled, and on the strength of some new measure—perhaps household suf- frage for tho counties—Mr. Gladstone may deem it proper to advise Her Majesty to dissolve Parliament and order a general elec- tion. These Ministerial changes are ominous and show how the wind is blowing. The Weather Reports from the West Indies at Last. ‘We are glad to see that these important reports, 60 long delayed for want of tele- graphio facilities, are at last beginning to reach the Central Signal Office at Washington. We discover, from the official press bulletins, that Cuba has begun to send her regular weather telograms, the first having been re- ported yesterday. The meteorological intel- ligence conveyed -by these West Indian tele- grams will, in a few days, be.in requisition for signaling the hurricanes which are to be looked for in August, September and October. Many of our seagoing vessels, and especially the Aspinwall steamers, furnish log-book data of the storms they encounter, and if such data could be obtained on.a large scale the Signal Office might do as great a work for ocean meteorology as it has done for that of the land, With the tri-daily reception of the West India telegrams the Washington Signal Office will doubtless be able to givo much more timely and accurate warnings to our sea- ports, and we commend our seamen to an at- tentive study of the ‘probabilities’ during the forthcoming hurricane season.
