BEECH::B. When the memers of the committee left Mr. Beecher and Mr. Shearman appeared on the steps ‘of the house the reporters immediately surrounded them, and, as Mr. Beecher greeted them cordially, ‘the HERALD reporter, as spokesman of the party, proceeded tointerview him. Mr. Beecher did not Jook so well as he did on the previous day, but looked rather careworn, Which, however, dia Rot detract trom his pleasant brightness of man- ner. RegrorTER—When are we golng to get your state- | ment, Mr. Beecher? Mr. BEgCHER—Well, we shall do all that is within ‘the bounds of human possibility. The stenograph- ers are at work on 1t now, and, if possible, It will De given out to-night. Are you pow on the BERL? Rerorren—Yes. Mr. BERCHER—Well, I have reason to feel greatly Obliged to the kindness of the HgRaLp. I hope there is nobody on the HERALD who would have the bad taste to dislike me. RsPorTsr—This is the frat interview you have accorded to the reporters. Mr. Bescozn—Well, I hope it will be so fruitful %™ good results that they will all in the futare foel the necessity OP COMING TO ME FOR NEWS ‘when anything is going on. [ tike the reporters so much that I hope they may be changed in the next ‘world, in accordance with Darwin's theory, into oorkecrews—very good corkscrews—so that they May even open a bottle and see what’s inside. Mr. Beecher langhed heartily aa he said this, and the reporter laughed too. Mr. BEECHER (warmly)—[am sure there is no Class nf gentlemen whom I like better. I pitied them last night when I saw them rashing forward every time a Wagon drove op to the house. How- ever, | must interview you, gentlemen. What is the news you can give me? BEPORTER—Only that you will be acquitced, Mr. Beecher, and that is no news. Mr. BEECHER (jocularly)—Well, what chances should I have as a candidate for tne Presidency ? ‘What is the opinion of the . press on that subject ? Rerorrer—It 1s believed that your chances ‘Would be much better than those of Mr, Tilton. Mr. Beecher laughed heartily, and Mr, Shearman observed that even he, he thougnt, would have a better chance than Mr. Tilton. RePORTER—May I ask whether you have read the last statement copied irom the Chicago Tribune? MB, BEBCHER'S OPINION OF GENERAL WASHINGTON. Mr, BEECHER (assuming a drolb air)—Well, | think Jupiter was a noble god, a great god. So was Mars. RerorTRR—How about Frank Moulton? Mr. BEECHER (laughing)—Weil, I think that General Washington was one of the greatest and Abraham Lincoln one of the best men this country has produced, That is my candid optaion. ReronTHE—Do you know, Mr. Beecher, whether the ang acag will meet again in reference to this suDjeot Mr. BEECHER (still in the best of humor)—I and the committee are two. Mr, SHRARMAN—The committee are six. ps Bewcaku—Yes, that’s true. You’re right, ‘man, ;EPORTER—How long is your statement, Mr. Beecher? Mr. BeRcHER—Well, my statement in itself covers about 120 pages. | really do not know how much space that would occupy in the HERALD. ‘There was @ pause, and a8 a new topic of in- niry presented itself which was not, under the Srcamstances, beyond the bounds of reportorial delicacy, the reporter ventured to ask the novel and decidedly original question, “Mr, Beecher, how do you feel ?” MB, BERCHER'S PRIDE. Mr, Beecher did not hesitate a moment to answer this momentous and important gery: “Well,” he replied, with bis hearty laugh, “I feel roud, for ye got a new vest on;” and with thi: Re carried bis hand over his splendid vest of snowy white. Rerorter—Do you intend going out of town soon, Mr. Beecher? Mr. BERCHER Way more seriously)—1 really have not decided that as yet, and my wife has not made up her mind, ettner. By the way, now if I should ask all the reporters to come up to Peeks- Kil and eat Peekskill pears on condition that they refrain from writing @ single word? Mr. Beecher appeared as thongh he were - tating and settling the question In his mind. ‘vn, no,’” he then added, ‘ol course that would be im- Possible. They should have rite something." And thus the interview went on, Mr. Beecher “chaMing” the reporters and pleasantly and skil- folly parrying all their questions of any really prac- pe vad trhondiy To the eS ec ne stall shor i feelin for Mr, Tilton, he replie laughingly, that 4 basi HR WAS PERFROTLY NON-COMMITTAL poche aoe gue wie bo a enrphet Tes 0 Join his family, who had evidently heen astonished that the noted preacher had con- Sages converse 80 long with any newar-per NEW “QUR MUTUAL FRIEND'S” STATE- MENT. The Brooklyn Magte, in an extra published late last evening, gave the following, which protesses to be the full statement and cross-examination of Mr. Francis D. Moulton. The’ statement is pre- faced by the following record, supposed to be a copy of the phonographic notes made on the occa- ston of the twenty-third seasion of the commit- tee:— BROOKLYN, August 10, 1874. The committee met at tnree P. Mall the mem- bers were present. At about five o’ciuek Mr. Francis D. Moulton, who was expected at the opening of the session, made his appearance, when, With the consent of the committee, he read the following statement, prelacing it with the re- marks :— “lL submit to you, first, the invitation signed by your chairman, July 21, 1674; next, the invitation of your chairman, signed July 28, and next the in- vitation of your chairman, signed August 4” [lay- in (agi ‘These invitations on the table belore Mr. Francis D. Moulton to the Com- mittee. GENTLEMEN OF THE CommiTrge—When I was last before you I stated that I would, at your request, produce such documents as I had, and make such statement of facts as had come to my knowledge on the subject of your inquiry. I fully insended so to do and have prepared my statement of facts as sustained by the documents, and made an exhibit of all the papers that have come in any way into my possession bearing on the controversy be- tween the parties, That statement must, of course, bear with more or less force upon one or he other of them. On mature reflection, aided BY THE ADVICE OF MY MOST VALUED FRIENDS, Thave reconsidered that determination and am obliged to say to you that I feel compelled from a gense of duty to the parties, to my relation to their controversy and to myself, neither to make the statement nor to produce the documents. When I first became & party to the unhappy con- troversy between Beecher and Tilton I nad no per- sonal knowledge nor any document in my posses- sion which could affect either. Everytning that I know of fact, or have received of papers, HAS OOME TO ME IN THE MOST SACRED CONFIDENCE, to be used for the purpose of composing and set- wing all difficuities between them, and of prevent- ing, so far as possible, any knowledge of their pri- vate affairs being brougut to the pubiic notice. For this purpose ALL THEIR MATTERS HAVE BEEN INTRUSTED TO MB and for none other. If 1 should now use them it ‘would be not for the pu of peace and recon- Ciliation, but to voluntarily take part in @ contro- versy Which they have seen fit to reuew between themselves. How faithfully, earnestly and honestly I have labored TO DO MY DUTY TO TBE PARTIES FOR PEACE they both know. The question ior me to settle for myself and no other is now, onght I to do any- thing to aid either party in a renewed controversy by use of that which I received and have used only to promote harmony? ON MY HONOR AND CONSCIENOR I THINK I OUGHT : NOT, nd, at the risk of whatever of misconstruction and vituperation may come upon me, I must ad- here to the dictates of my own judgment and pre- serve ut least my own self-respect. 1 call attention a to the fact that yours isa mere voluntary tribunal, aud whatever { do here ts done by 4 VOLUNTARY AND NOT COMPRLLED WITNESS, Whether beiore any tribunal having the power to compel the production of testimony and statement of fact I shall ever produce these papers or give any of these confidential statements I reserve to | Myself to judge of the emergency, whicn 1 hope may never come, Against my wish—as I never have been in sym- pathy with a renewai of this condict— A PART OF THESE DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE PUBLIO, In ko far, confidence in regard to them has ceased. lgis but just, therefore, and due to the parties, that the whole of those docnments, portions of | which only have been given, shall be put into your hands, 1n response to the thrice renewed request of the committee. 1 have, therefore, copies of them which I produce here and piace in the hands of the committee, with the hope and request that after | they have been’examined by them they may be re- | turned tome. If any controversy shall arise as to the AUTHENTICITY OF THE COPIES or of the documents, on that point I shall hold my- self open to speak. With this exception—except in deience of my own hosor and the uprighinens of my course in all this unfortunate and unhappy | Dusmess, the purity and candor of which I appeal to tue consciences of both parties to sustain—I do not propose, and hope I may never be called upon hereafter to speak, either as to tue facts or to pro- duce any paper that I have received from either of the parties involved herein. FRANCIS. D, MOULTON. [The letters will appear in Mr. Beecher’s state- ment with an explanation of each.) Mr. Moulton’s Cross-Examination. After the reading of this statement Mr. Moulton ‘was subjected to brief cross-examination, as tol | lows:— Mr. Winslow—Mr. Moulton, the committee de- sire me to ask you some questions, notwithstand- | Ing the position you take here in your written | statement. You are well aware, as you show, by the three invitations which the committee have sent you, that we are in good faith pursuing an investigation. You will remember that WE WERKE APPOINTED BY THE FASTOR OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH with the sanction and approval of the Examining | Committee of that church, to inquire into all these matters relating to the alleged grievances of Mr. Tilton. The letter of authority that comes to us 13 not iimitea, No restrictions are put upon us of any kind. e are invited to examine all the sources of evidence, and we have looked upon you as one of the principal sources of evidence. | We have waited some two or three weeks to get your testimony, and I am sure I ex- press the feeling of the committee when I express A SENSE OF DISAPPOINTMENT AT THE POSITION YOU TAKE. Of course we know that we are not a court, with compulsory powers, We are, as you state, & mere voluntary tribunal Youcan 40 exactly as you please; we await your pleasure; but what [ desire to know ia, in behali of the committee, whether you have so deliberately formed tiis pur- poge as to make it beyond recall as things now stand, Mr. Moulton—In reply to what you have said, and with reference to my appearance here, so far as you are concerned iu this committee, I cail your Attention to the languaye of your own invi- tion, namely, this:— “WE EARNESTLY REQUEST THAT YOU BRING ALL LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS im your possession which are referred to by Theo- dore Tilton in bis statement belore the commit- tee.” Icomply with the request of this commit. tee and produce copies of the letters referred to by Mr. ‘Tiljon, the authenticity of which | am ready within a few moments to establish. Q Do you mean to have us understand, Mr. Moulton, that you have personally compared the originals with these copies, so that you know of your own knowledge that they are correct? Av I Mean to state exactly what I have stated. Mr. Wioslow—You have not stated anything on that point. Mr, Moulton—Yes, I stated that THESE ARE COPIES Of THE LETTERS which you requested, referred to im Mr. Theodore Tilton’s documents. Q. Do you state of your own personal knowledge body eise to make copies and compare them? A. I beg pardon, sir; I am willing to auvhenticate these copies whenever you wish that they should be authenticated, MR. WINSLOW'S BADGERING. Q. Cannot you now be induced, Mr. Moulton, to go On, notwithstanding what bas happened, and | give us @ full statement of all your knowledge in | these matters? A. I stand upon the communica- | tion which I have made to you to-day, sir. Q. And that you do not mean tochange? A. Not without safficient reason. Mr. Winsiow—Ot course I am now referring to the present moment. A. Yes, sir. Mr. Winsiow—There is anotuer point that I would lke vo ask you about, Mr. Moulton. Considering tho great importance of these letters, | submit to you Wether it would not be jair and proper that TNE ORIGINALS BE PRODUCHD, notwithstanding your readiness to authenticate the copies. You know that in a court copies would not be received where the originals couid be produced ; and would you not be willing to produce them long enough to have them looked at and examined? A. In answer to that question 1 wili say, 1 have not any desire now, nor nave I had any desire, TO WITHHOLD THESE ORIGINALS FROM YOU; and | am willing now, or within a few minutes, to produce them; you may send any member of your | committee to see them if you doubt the authenu- city. ii. ‘Winstow—I do nov put it on the ground of ere but on the grouna of business like regu- arity. Mr. Moulton—Pardon me; I call your attention fe Of the statement which I have just made: id if the authenticity, by either party, of these documents is doubted, 1 HOLD MYSELF READY TO PROVE THRIR AUTEN. Li Mr. Winslow—I do not feel called upon to put it on any ground of doubt, because there is no rea- son of doing it. Mr. Moulton—I do not think there is, sir. BADGERING AGAIN, Mr. Winslow—It is merely a matter of customary business regularity. Mr. Moulton—I have in good faith come he! end have presented « to you copies of the origin: documents. Lf you doubt— ir, Winslow—Do not put it in that way, please. Mr. Moulton—-Pardon me. 1 referred to my com- Lie cag if there is any doubt 1 shall remove the aon! Mr, Winslow—You were about to say something of your willingness to send for them while you are | Dare, and let os dee them, that they are copies or have you trusted to some- ‘| a. Moulton—0, well, you wont doubt them, I Q If we shouid conclude that WS WANTED TO SBE THEM AT 80ME OTHER TIME ‘Would you send for them? A. Certainly, str. Q Within the present week? A. Certainly; I am willing to go with all the members of your resent committee, or aby One that you may Be- et, some time auring thé present week, and GHOW TO ANY ACCREDITED MEMBER OP THI8 OCOM- MITTBE THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS; is that a fair answer to that question? WINSLOW 18 SATISFIRLD, Mr. Winslow—That is satisfactory. Mr. Hali—ver that question could be deter. mined 40 far.as the committee are concerned at the nt moment. Mr. Moulton—I want the action in reference to these documents determined according to the ex- pression of the document which I have submitted vo you. BEGGING THR QUESTION. Mr. Winslow—Well, if ior aug reason we want to see the ortginala, I understand you to say there is No objection, (Mr. Moulton assented.) Mr. White—I want to inguire whether your ob Jection to giving a fuller statement is based upon the wording of the letters, which seem, on one construction, to limit it to bringing with you the originals of the letters or papers referred to in Mr, Tilton’s statement belore the committee; as it seems to me that THE LETTER Is SUSCEPTIBLE OF ANOTHER EXPLA- NATION, and one which certainly was the understanding Of the committee, Mr. Moulton—Yes, sir, I will answer your, ques: ion; | wish to say, and do say, that 1 have a quiesced just now in the request of your Chairman, and that all REASON FOR THE NON-PRODUCTION OF FACTS, or the non-exhibition of documents, is given in the communication which I have just read to you.

Mr. Moutton—If require them . Sage— ‘ou doubt or question or if you ou shall have them, hen shall we? MOULTON READY. Mr, Moulton—My dear air, you can go with me all together to my house if you want to. Mr. Sage—The anawer is unequivocal that we can have possession ? A. Not that you can have possesssion, but that you can gee them, ‘A QUESTION OF POSSESSION, Q. Well, you mean possession long enough to ex- | amine them? A. Yes, sir, im accordance with my statement, Mr. White—The letters that are referred to, which are produced by you here, three in number, each of them, refer toa request before made to appear and give your testimony, ldesire, simply ag one of the committee, to state that it is my understanding of those requests shat they cover the same thing that was embodied in the state- ment, in the request, of early in July, that you appear and give your testimony im regard to the matters involved in the Tilton letter to Mr. Bacon: @nd as they refer to that again CLAIM IT 48 MY UNDBRSTANDING, as one of the committee, that this request is not iimited to the simple production of papers, but It does include in it the request to give your testi- mony tn regard to all the matters. That is what I have been trying to make appear here. “I HAVE ANSWERED FULLY.” Mr. Moulton—I repeat again that I nave an- | swered fnily, in my interview with you to-day, the request Of the Chairman of your committee. BRACY PUTS IN HIS “‘OAR,?? In answer to @ question put by Mr. Tracy Mr. Moulton replied :— I have stated explicitly, in my communication to this committee, tue grounds upon which I deny to this committee the statement of tacts and the exhibition of documents that have come into my possession in confidence. General Tracy—Then you do not mean to put that refusalupon the form of the committee's in- Vitation to you? A. No sir. On motion ot Mr, Cleveland it was voted that Mr. Winslow be authorized to go with Mr. Moulton and examine and verily the documents. Aiter some iniormal conversation in regard to the publication o: the proceedings of the present session Mr. Moulton retired. The committee re- mained in consultation until seven o'clock and ) then adjourned to meet again on the evening of | Tuesday, the 11th inst., at eight o'clock, |THE POSITION OF MR. MOULTON. A reporter of the Brooklyn Fagle having had an | interview with Mr. White, one of the members of | the committee, tells the story as follows:— Mr. White stated that outside of the committee, ag @ man, he considered Mr. Moulton’s position. was of a Very queer character, and that he (Mr. White) was not a particle disappointed in him, REPORTER—Has tne committee taken any notice of the reported interview between Mr. Moulton end the C! Tribune correspondent? Mr. WuHiTe—We noticed everything; but if any- thing was needed to confirm my suspicions that | rascally publication did it, REPORTER—May I ask if, when you use the word | “suspicions,” you mean to allude to blackmail? Mr. WHITE—Well, I prefer not saying anything } Just Dow about that, especially as Mr. Keecher has | dealt very fully with that subject in his statement, | and that statement will be the property of the public in a day or 60, REPORTER—May I ask generally, Mr. White, if from all you have heard in the committee, and from all other sources, your faith in Mr. Beecher’s morality and 1otegrity as @ man is unshaken ? Mr. Waite—Entirely. Everything will be given | tothe pubite, and this charge of adultery wil, alter that, be scouted by every inteliigent, un- prejudiced person. 1 know, so iar a@1 have been able to learn, that the charge is wholly false, and after we can present the facts to the public every | decent man will think with me. DEATH OF THE LION JULIUS. There are many of the HERALD readers who, no doubt, remember the !ton Julius, the subject of obituary. He was the oldest animal of hia in the United States, having attained tne venerable age of thirty-one years, nearly the max- imum,of life of the lion in his’ wild state. Julius ‘was said to be the largest lion ever importea into this country, and besides being of royal lineage himself, he bad the honor at one time to belong to royalty, having been the pet in the ménage of one of the smail princes of Airica, from whom he was purchased by some English agents of an animal dealer in London. After his ‘arrival in that city the subject of this notice was purchased by Brad- ley, the showman, and at once _ trained for cage performances. His majestic 8] pearance at once made him a public vorite, and it was not until some two years afterward thatvne lost caste. While performing one,night in Edinburgh, Scotland, he became sud- denly enraged about something and attacked his trainer, who, by the way, Was a new one, and be- fore any one could tnteriere his terrible paws and teeth had done their deadly work. The man was literally torn into shreds. Some American pur- chasing agents finally obtained the brute, and he ‘was transterred to Van amburgh’s menagerie and for many years delighted the gaping crowds that witnessed him perform. Some twelve or thirteen years ago, while being handled in the training fe during # visit ot Forepaugh’s menagerie to P ‘elphia, his trainer foolishly undertook to put his head into the animal's mouth, but the brute, not liking the sport, refused to open his mouth wide enough, When the trainer slapped him in the face. Julius at this grew angry, and closing bis ponder- ous jaws upon the man’s skull, crashed © a8 if tt had been an eggshell. it is said that this ig the only instance of @ man being killed by a lion in this country. Julius was ® magnificent brute, and his long, shaggy Mane was coal black, Alter this last ex- hibition of his temper he was used only as a cage animal, Many stories are told of tnis lion, the Most singular one being his fondness for small animals, and a keeper who was with nim for sev- eral years speaks with pride of the kindness Julius used to show to a little black and tan dog that ook @ notion to occasionally pay a visite to the e of his highness. It may be remembered that Julius was biind of an eye, caused by an accident that happened to him upon an occasion some years ago in Nashvilie, Tenn., were he escaped irom Nis cage, and, after Rae camel and injuring some other animals, he made a charge upon the cage of @ leopard, who struck bim with his paw, com- Pietely ruining the sighs of one eve. Mr. W. % ‘onklin, the Superintendent of the Central Park Zovlogical Garden, tells many other interesting anecdotes of the sagacity of the lion, and especially of the greatbrute Park, now among his collection, and at present the oldest lion in America, hia age veing twenty-six ears, Tne immediate caure of the death of ‘uliug Was lung lever, a disease to which lions in confinement are most stbject, though he had been ailing tor some time welling through the country not being considered beneficial, he trip to New York, for the purpose of Doing put in for the pu the hospit "his day of usefumess Nad passed, 3 but and, while passing through the State er New | spread his wings and the noble | assed fo hin ancestors, It may be truly | 1m $hat he was a lion with a single virtue | od toa thousand crimes.

The Controversy Between the Saints and the Gentiles. AN INTERMINABLE FEUD. Delegate Cannon Re-Elected—The Unit- ed States Marshals and Mor- mon Police at War. THE BEGINNING OF THE END Saur Lae Ciry, August 5, 1874, For the first time in the experience of Utah we have just had an intensely exciting election, at- tended witb rioting and broken beads. The boasted peace of Brigham Young’s domivion bas come to an end, and the Saints of the latter days may hereafter look for al! the riotous and bloody work attending the polls of the Gentiles in the less favored parts of the world. It is safe enough to utter the prediction that there will be : NO MORB PEACE in this modern Zion tiil there 1s some decided actiop on the part of Congress that wil change entirely the election laws of Utan and remove the great bone of contention between the orthodox Saints and the radical Gentiles. Hopes have been entertained that some under- standing would be reached by tno Mormons and the Gentiles and that a compromise of some kind would be effected by which the non-Mormon popu- lation would nave some representation; bat any further efforts in this direction are utterly useless, Brigham Young is still master of the situation, and he is going to keep it. ag long as he can, Itis now slear to the most obtuse that he ‘WILL FIGHT TO THE BITTRR BND, and any other conolusion is but a deception, and tm this he is doing no more than every politician throughout the land. The election for a delegate to Congress, the re- turns of which we have not yet learned, but which must be overwhelmingly in favor of the Church candidate, has revealed an INTENSE BITTERNESS ON BOTH SIDES, A feud has been inaugurated between the Church police and the United States authority in the per- sons ofa marshal and deputy marshals that will Dever end byt with the triumph of the opposition to Brigham, and before many years this consum- mation will be reacbed. It is inevitabie. With Brigham’s advancing age the whims of his second childhood become insupportable to even those who would be his friends. He will take no advice, and many of the disciples who are afraid to openly oppose him give quiet encouragement to the Gentiles who fight him and his measures, So much 0 Is this the case that it ts dificalt to tell who are true to the Prophet and his fortunes, His removal of Mr. Hooper, a monogamist, from Congress, to make room for Mr. Cannon, a polyga- mist, was the act of a self-willed fanatic and the cause Of trouble here to-day more than any other one thing that Brigham has ever done. It is re- garded here, both by saints and sinners, as A WILFUL DEFIANOB OF CONGRESS and an utter disregard of the national will. The Prophet knew that there was a statute of the United States punishing the polygamist with fine and imprisonment in the penitentiary, and he knew also that in nearly every session of Congress since 1862 some effort has been made to render that statute more effictent and of some practical effect. Yet, with allthis information beiore him, he was resolved vo challenge Congress to meet him on that issue, and so he sent Mr, Cannon, THB HUSBAND OF FOUR WIVES, as Delegate to Washington. The Gentile popula- tion here are not only mad at this deflance, but they are Mortifled that Congress did not send Can- non home as they did Bowen, and to add to all this chagr! he Mormon kept pis seat, returned here rejoicing and Brigham nominates him a second tame for Congress—and the returns will show that be has received an enormous vote, ‘There may be no truth in the belief, but there are few persons here who do not believe tltat the polygamist Delegate paid handsomely for the aid which he received at tue Capitol. Whether he did 80 OF not, itis exceedingly gagraveriong to see the Mormon rejoicing over bis infuence in the na- tional Legisiature. It 18 what I have here stated that caused the in- tense bitterness at the polis on Monday, and the recent passage of the Poland bill, eifecting as it did @ change in the supervision of the polls in this city, nigh ied to @ very serious outbreak between the rivai authorities. Heretofore the city police, who are all Mormons, and many of them suspected of the worst crimes, have had the management of the elections and been the ‘conservators of the peacé.”” ‘Tue Poland bill, that Only became ala im the latter part of June, giving special effect to a previous act ol Con- gress governing elections, placed this authority and supervision oi the elections in the hands oi the United States Marshal and his deputies. Tne Mayor could not well have been ignorant of this new application of an old law, yet he and bis police Were on the ground as usual and attended to tueir duties as in past years. ‘The United States Marshal happens tobe General George R. Maxwell, the former contestant of Can- non for the seat of Delegate, and a man who holds Cannon in utter detestation. His deputies were doubtless chosen Jor their reliability in case of necessity requiring active business, and that ex- tending wherever accident might lead, even to the use of force in its worst form. The Mayor and his police, the Marshal and his deputies, couid well understand themse:ves, but were cleariy ignorant of each other's oficial positions, and the contempt the chiels of each faction had for each other ren- dered @ copierence between them an impossi- bility. The United States Marshal is A SOLDIER OF THE LATE WAR, who lost one of his limbs on the day of Lee's sure render. He is brave and daring as a lion, but as he travels along the streets of this city every jerk of bis artificial continuation probably reminds tim of his own loyaity and the disloyalty that he hed fought in times before, and 1 wage he its Teady to fight at any a8 iy moment now the disloyal Mormons, as he regards them, a8 be was to fight on the southern side of the Potomac. ‘The Mormons understand him and faliy reciprocate all his teelings and hate nim in- tensely. Were he imprudent in any aggressive demonstration and gave them a fair show of legal deience there is no extremity to which the Church oMiciais would not gladly rush. He and they un- derstand each other on that point cieariy; nence When they meet their eyes flash, their pulses quicken and the unuttered words are, ‘‘Plase trample on my coat tail.” This is the happy con- dition, of Utah’s present ‘conservators of the ace. ‘Tos city for election purposes is divided into five precincts, but tne interest at the polis con- centrates at the City Hall. There tne opposing forces rallied early on the morning of the elect tion, and they faced each other till dusk, hee and burning ior “something to turn up,” and the slightest breath of a disturbing element ruffed them instantyy and they were eager for the iray. Elsewhere POLITICIANS HAVE THEIR BROILS and will occasionally have their little knock-downs O0 an election day, but that experience is nothing like what we uave here. Our turmoil 1s not over differences of opinion, nor is it over this man or another man; it 1s the warring e'ements of revolu- tion. In its limited and minature periormances it Ted republicanism seeking the overthrow of monarchy. Brigham has the throne and his oppo- nents want to unseat him, He has for long years predicted the triumph of his “Kingdom” and the annihilation of bis enemies, and, in his language, “what @man predicts he should fulfil.” This he has always done and js now doing. 1t is his daily duty to destroy ali who oppose themselves to his reign; but, uniortunately for the Prophet, the Gentiles are like those nuisances of flies in hot pal Mone 18 killed a dozen will come to his funeral. Brigham, though not a success asa good pre- dictor, has managed to sausiy the opposing Gen- thes that he WOULD ANNIMILATE THEM IF HE COULD, and for such expressions of kindness they perstst in living and multiplying in spite of him. As he weakens in royal power, he becomes the more | savage; as they increase In numbers, they become the more independent and saucy, and it was at the polls that they couid show themseives, Tho Mormon police are not expected to render the eacemakers service when it is contention be- ween the saints and the ungodly. They are to deiend thé one and crnsn the other. Tuey have the iullest appreciation of that legend of Moses, SMITING THE FOYPTIAN ‘and hiding him in the sand, and whoever contends with @ latter-day brother must take the vonse- quences, There are probably some o! the police force otherwise regarded; but there never was a body of men no thorongnly ai him. | It was with this consciousness and hate that toon there its birth that many citizens went around to the polls ou Monday and were evened for anytuing, jor they were going into Presence 01 these men. ‘tne Mormons Would doubtless assert that these feelings and fg Ti taal Pan cea ae at fact un- ey: — u “urn cong le be adie Nee im the otner. @ Mormons believe in the largest apphcation ot squatter sovereignty, and they Cannot look upon joreign appointments by the lederal gorsromens in any other lignt than as TRENCHING UPON THRIR RIG) The whole of the federal ofices are filled by Gentiles, and every adjunct of a federal office is a son, cousin of other friend of the first ‘ederal ap- | pointee. The old citizens regurd all this in the | same light as the Southern politictans have looted upon the &ppointees from tie Nortn and designate | them “carpet baggers.” It may be the purpose | of the government to make the Mormons ‘feel ali | this; 1 80 the government has been successful, It may be strictly correct, but conservative Gentiles, liberal Mormons and very many who have left Brigham Young’s church regard it as A VERY UNWISE POLICY, Many who detest Brigham Young personally, | hate his reign and dislike nis religion, sympatutze | with the Mormons and will take uo part in present politics, The Mormons are united and poll the full strength of their vote; the auti-Mormons are dis- | united and never reach the halt of their number; | hence the great disparity in the votes for Delegate. THB OPPOSITION TO MORMON POLITICS heretofore has been purely acctaental, and it has not even now much of the torm and life of organi- gation tbat promises early success, but it has the germ ol lie. Tne first direct opposition candidate to Mr. Hooper for tze Delevateship of the Territory was toe result of a joke more than any devermined purpose, and singularly enough the gentleman who nominated bg er g ny tor sport. only, is bimse! the “liberal? candidate to-day for that office with the most serious intentions and purposes. After McGrort, came General Maxweil, to whom I have referred, and he, I presume, only accepted the nomination a a forloru lope, The opposition needed a stand- ard bearer and ‘Max’ braveiy seized it, but it las cost him much labor, travel ald expense to main- tain it unfurled at the seat of government. THE PRESENT “LIBERAL” CANDIDATR for Delegate is Mr. R. N. Baskin, a lawyer of great ability, @ fearless and determined man, He was counsel for Dr. J. King Robmson when he was treacherously murdered here in 1566, Mr. Baskin will receive over 6,000 votes in the Territory, and it is believed that he wiil unseat Mr. Cannon, though the latter may have tour or five times that number of votes. In this city Jeter— (please don’t let the typos make him Pever—Jeter is bis Name) Clinton, the Judge of elections in the Futh prerinct, refused to let man: Gentiles vote if they had | not paid their poll tax. Mr. Baskin will contend that American citizenship is not dependent upon the assessment of that or any other tax, and that ue right of voting in any citizen is not determmea by the diligence o/ a local tax gatherer in securing that tax. He will visit every polling precinct throughout the Mormon settlements and will UPROOT THE INIQUITOUS SYSTEM that has prevailed here, at which minors and aliens have heretofore voted unchallenged. In pent elections, and it may be even at this, the lormons are accused of having taken the names of the dead as well as thoge of the living and cast their votes; and even mules nave been named and their ballots cast for the Church candidate! Mr. Baskin will in addition to this contest the seat of Mr. Cannon also on account of polygamy. The Mormon candidate has undoubtedly tour wives in this Territory, but, by a very doubtful answer to the charge made betore the Congres- sional Committee, he th | Bb denied the fact, a proceeding whieh might be excused 1n a politicial jut one that is HIGHLY REPRBHRNSIBLE in one professing to be an apostle of Jesus Christ and an advocate of the holiness of polygamy cont mManded by divine revelation. To Generai Max- well’s charge Mr. Cannon answered :— In response to the tenth allegation contained insaid statement, I deny that J now live, or ever have lived, in violation of the f my country, decency, or civilization. he United States. I deny that f am now living with four wives, of that Tam living and cohabiting wich any wives in deflant or wihul violation of the law ot Corgress of 1862, entitled “An Act to prohibit polygamy in the Territories. In the first response here Cannon carefully avolds the use of the word polygamy, but men- tally reserves the expression that he considers that his patriarcnal lie 1s not “in violation ai the laws of God, man, my country, decency or etviliza- tion, or of any law of the bnitea States.” His second denial Js simply a play upon the words, “In deflant or wilful violation of the law of Congress of 1862,” There comes in his mental reservation. He will claim that he ts not a polygamist in ‘‘de- flant and wilful violation” of that law of Congress, but that he is go because o! lis lalth and the reve- jation es through his prophet, Joseph Smith! While he seems to deny polygamy to the Con- gressional Committee, be actually does not deny it, and thus he silences his conscience and hum- bugs his tuquisitors, But this is a poor policy, and has’ hurt Mr, Cannon seriously with his Mormon brethren and sisters. Biigham Young and his polygamy are nearing the end when such pitiful subteriuges nave to be resorted to. A WILD GIRL HUNT. Ivisataie of Idaho. There are romantic young- sters in the West as well asin the East; and two of them, who are fond of the chase, have had aro- mantic adventure. They were out repairing their fumes near Idaho City.

On Monday last the Chronicle pubiianed an ace count of a search for one Henry Colter, to whom @ fortune of $200,000 nas been left by Charles Jessup, who lately died tm Massachusetts, The circum. stances which led to the legacy are peculiar. Col- ter and & H, Par! at present a well-known Merchant in this city, were, in 1854, in basiness in Oregon, and Coiter intrusted Jessup, then a young man, With $4,800 to bring to Mr. Parker, who Jessup embezzled ker at the time accused Colter of stealing the money, and believed tor twenty years that he did it, The firm was broken up, and Colter, who had al- ready become somewhat addicted to drink, went to the dogs completely, The Chronicle has already explained how Jessup made @ large fortune in South America, aud how he went home to Massa- chusetts to enjoy it and died there a few months Sgo, leaving tothe man he had wronged twenty years before $200,000, Colter was, advertised for in the Choniele, and any person knowing of bis whereabouts was requested to send word (0 an at- torney in this city, W.

Last Wednesday morning a little old dried-ap man about forty was pottering abont a couniry hotel near Watsonvile, doing nis regular chorea for his bed and board, The little old man, whose Weight is not one hundred pounds, has for years been a devotee of the bottle, aud on tnis occasion he was particularly shaky and nervous. His eyes rolled wildly about and his little red nose shone like @ wet radish. He had worked but @ moment or two (he was scouring some knives at the time), When a man came lur- rying into the room with a copy of the Chronicle in his hand, and snouted, “Here you are, Colter! Rouse yourself, man! You've been left $200,000!" ‘The little Old man stared wildly about him, and his knives and brickdust feli from his nerveless hanug, With trembling grasp he seized the paper aud hurriedly read tue article. “Atiast! at last!” he yelled. ‘They said I stoie it, aud now the wath is out! Great God! Aiter twenty years of patient waiting my honor is cleared and my good name ts returned to me!” Like a flash the circumstances all came back to his memory, and, burying his-tace in his hands, he ere Wept {or joy. ‘'uen he to.d tis irlenda ail about the case, relating each detail, now he lost the money, how he was accused vi stealing it, and how ip consequence he bad wandered about the earth for twenty years with tue brand of shame upon his brow. OFF FOR SAN FRANCISCO. There was no more scouring of knives that dey, Colter straightened himself up; by the help of some iriends he got some clean cloches, and hurs- day morning he lett for San Francisco to find Mr. Knowlton, the lawyer wuo advertised jor intorma- tion concerning him. That gentieman had gone to Oregon, but he bad leit word that he would be back in a few days, aud go Coiter went in searcn of bis former partner, E. H. Parker. That gentieman was found after some little trouble, He recognized Colter at once, and sent him to the Cosmopolitan Hotel tv await Mr. Knowlton’s return, Mr. Parker confirmed the intelligence of the windfall, and laughingly told Colter that as the original $4,800 that was stolen was half his property, 1t was no more than jair that half of the legacy should be his also, Last night Mr. Colter called at the Chronicle office to thank tue people there for giving him the news Of his good fortune. He was laboring under great excitement, being. as he said, more picased and overjoyed at liaving his name cleared than at | the news of his sudden wealth. He said that siace tue robbery he had been utterly good for nothing. He had come near drinking himself to death s.ve- ral times, and he had worried and fretted over the thought that by all ms old acquaintances he was believed to be a tmef, until he was unfitted for any respectable employment. For years ne had been @ wanderer over the whole Pacific coast. HOW HE LOST THE MONEY. in answer to @ question how he first lost the money, Colter said that he was oringing the cash ($4,£00), which belonged to his firm, or rather it Lelouged to other parties, though they were re- sponsible for it, from Olympia to this city. Jessup “od another man, whose name he haa forgotteu, leit m the game steamer with bim from Oly mpia— | the steamer America. On dhe way Colter says he gOt ou @ terribie spree, and wille in tuat condition yvave the money to Jessup to carry to Mr. Parker, | tte did this, he says, because he did not want Mr, Parker to see him in the state he was | in, Jessup ran away with the money, aud that was the last he ever heard of him uatil last Wednesday. Ruined in pocket and bank- Tupt im character Colter tyrued over the business to nis partner and bechwe a wanderer. He did a little of everything. He became a guide jor @ surveying party of the Pacitic Raudroad, gusd- ing atone time General McClellan (then Captain McCleilan), who was running a survey acrogs the | Continent. He then enlisted in the army and | served thirteen years, being discharged jast from | the Second Artillery, Previous to this, however, | he nad worked for Dent, Vantine & Vo., at Knignt’s Ferry. Dent was brotner-in-iaw of “tiat man up there,” said Mr. Colter, poming to a picture of over toward the old tunne! on the hillside they saw sight that thrilled them with rapture. A | young girl, about fifteen years of age, beautiful as a Cleopatra, bareiooted and bareheaded, with a wealth of rich anburn hair dropping about her like a silken robe, stood sunning hersell on a grassy knoll in the bright morning, aud they supposed ele was a wild girl, ame that must be bagged alive. Cautiously they crept through the Heagied thickets toward the | spot where the beautiful Nanetta drank in the giorlous beauty of the morning. All at once, from under cover, the hunters made a dash for the wild beauty. But she was off like a | frightened fawn at the approach of the sportsmen. | suddenly she disappeared und “though lost to sight to memory dear’ the chase was not avandoped. Intu the dark tunnel, as the likeliest place o1 refuge, the keen hunters plunged, only to | sStana agbast at the sight that met their gaze. | When thetr eyes became accus omed to the i ness they beheld their beautiiul wild girl swooning | in the arms of the rough old miner. The burly | miner had seen the poor frightened fawn chased | to the tunnel and saw the Keen hunters at bay | before him, He disengaged his arms irom the tn- animate beauty. He advanced a few paces, made @ little oration of one word:—*“RuMans!” then | litted a heavy boot, drew it pack a lew feet, see- | sawed with it @ little in tue air and sent them back to their saws and hammers the fumes. | That entire day the flume was neglected. The | young Wild girl hunters were busy repairing the | canvas seats Of their trowsers and reducing swellings. They have no longer a desire to huat wild giris in the Idaho thickets. Moral—Never go wild girl hunting without the permission of her papa if you would avoid pantaloon rents and tatlors’ bills, HYDROPHOBIA, A Supposed Case in Plainfield, N. J.— Death of the Victim—His Brother Bit- ten by the Same Dog. A supposed case of hydrophobia has puzzled the brains of the physicians of Plainfield, Union county, | N. J., during this week. The victim was one Royle Hillman, @ lad aged about fiiteen years, Two years ago he was bitten, in (he finger by a dog, which bad been chased by a party of boys of Piain- field under his Jather’s barn.

Pretty soon the old gentleman took from his pocket an envelope, which Ray at once grabbed, andran of with toward the Astor House, Devins gave chase and arrested Mr. Ray and took him to the station house, at the same time requtring the old gentleman to go along for the purpose of making a charge, Arrived at the station Mr. Kuy’s friend would not make a charge, saying no offence had been committed. After getiing out in the strect again the officer told Ray that if he did not ‘ive him $200 he would cause him trouble. r, Ray at once reported the case to Superin- tendent Walling, who advised hun to send a note to Devins agreeing to pay over the required amount. The meeting was to be had at the notel, and In- spector McDermott placed himself in an adjoining room to await results, first having given Ray two $100 bills, marked, to give Devins, The oficer was promptly on band and got his money, when the Inspector stepped in and arrested him. He reiuged to be searched, aud during the conversa- tiomwhich ensued took the money from his pocket, and dropped it behind-him. The inspector picked it up and 1ound it to be the same he nad given Mr. Ray to pay over. A charge was made against Devins yesterday be- fore the Commissioners, and when, in the after- novn, the trial came up Devins failed to put in an appearance. He was promptly dismissed the force.
