Amid the plaudits of the conference President Wool- sey took thechair, and said that the members had done him # good turn in one sense, but not in another. He was quite deaf and found it dificult to hear what mught be sald at the other end of the room. With regard to the objects of the conference, he felt that the gentlemen who had signed the per or call looked to those whom they bad Tavited for counsel. He bimselt bad not come large stock of wisdom ; he came to be taught on bject matter under consideration by those gentlo- Men who ba'replied im person to the invitations. Ho did know, however, that witniu the past ten yeurs tho country Bad been growing politically worse, and many of those presepst who had acted with the republican had often had occasion to blush for, the deeds of the sof that party, What in the crisis vow pending should be done to remedy this unfortunate condition of things was for the conference to discuss and decide, (Applause. ) CARL SCHURZ’S REWARKS, Ex-Senator Schurz arose slowly. after the applause had subsided, saying that he got up merely to submit | @ motion to the conference tor its cousideration. As one of the signers of the cali, however, he wook this oceasion to thunk those who had responded personally, nambers and individual impor- tance filled bim with ness. He bad not anticipated so influential ering and it furly surprised him. Ho augut from it that as the centennial anniversary of the nation’s independence approached the spirit of independence seemed to be rising, He, it had beeu said, had been out of active political life tor some time back; but he bad been so from choice, He then went on to sposk of parties, saying that parties must exist in politics and gooa citizens way belong to them; but, while they did, they had a perfect right to desire and inake a g¢ y. It had been said of the inaependents that for a long time they have been sit- “So they have,” said Mr. Schurz, “because the mud was too deep on both sides for them to drop into it,’? He said the invitations had been sent out at ravdom, and had not been forwarded to men because of their power or influence to got up a party. The only covsiderations that influenced the signers of the call to issurng an invitation to any man wore whether he bore a reputation for honesty, freedom from party rule and was a patriot. The mect- | ing was not a packed convention to favor the preten- sions of apy candidate. The gentlemen had convened to promote tue country’s wellare. This could be dono in two ways, viz, :—First, That as many gentiemen as possible should give expression to their views on the subjects under consideration; — second, that a committee of five gentlemen be appointed to receive — resolutions «and = tw prepare and report adefinite plan of action, ‘Ihe sec- ond part he put in the form of a motion, which was carried. The chairman then appoiuted tho following committee:—Carl Schurz, Park Godwin, Juuge L. 8. Foster, of Connecticut; John W. Hoyt, of Wisconsin, aud Murtin Brinneur, of Mugsachusetts. Those gentie- men retired to pertorm the duties required of them, The; pied by the Conference in listenmg to the views of tmany of the members, REV. DR, OSGOOD SPEAKS The President called on Rev. Dr. Osgood, York, to make a brief addres it was waiting for the Committee on Resvlutions to re- port. Dr. Usgood shid that he had not nad any idea of speaking at this time. He had come here because bo believed it was every man’s duty to bo a patriot, and he wanted to siguify hus belief in tbat duty. Retorring to official corruption, he remarked that in th disposition to scparate Church and State ty grown up a tendeucy if not a desire to go to the other extreme and t separate State trom morality, Many men bad accepted the President ol, the United States as a just man, and that idea Dr. Osgood, as well as tho of New other men to whom he referred, did not want to give | up now. They believed President Grant to be honest, . but he was uot fit to be President of the Unitea States; he was not ‘high toned enough” for the position. Ho was not aman of calture. He was surrounded by bad associates, in whom he placed implicit reliance, They were disreputable wen and had given the White House a bad pame, The*country wants an intelligent as woll os an % mau for President, It wanis one who could seo the way to do right aud would walk in that way fearleasly. principles would be substantially the Contérenco’s platform. In conclusion, he said that he was satisfied that as a clergymun he might be patriotic, and, in let- ting the world know it; he would not disgrace his cloth, FRANKLIN\MACVEAGH FOR, BRISTOW. President Woolsey mvited Mr. Franklin MacVeagh, of Illinois, to say a word ortwo 10 the Conference. Mr. MucVeagh did £0, and, it may be said, rather aston- ished some of its members. He began by remarking that.he would not Lave come all the way from Chicago if be had uot felt a peculiar interest in the objects ot the meeting. He was then quite free to say that tris interest aroge from his being un ont and out “Bristow ho said this, be must confess that he did not know what the Conterence meant todo, But he could assure its members that it would have very litile interest tor him unless it got out of polities in the abstract and became something more personal aud practical. A groat many gentlemen present seemed te be under a cloud, and whilo very able and sound workers under the rays of tho midmght lamp were too impersoual. To effect anything they should all become practical, and bo pre; #e to speak, to hit a head wherever they saw it, Mr. MacVeayh declined making any further remarks until after the report of tte Commit- tee on Resotatious was rendcred. He concluded with a hint as to ofrhooting off one’s ntie until the gam XCIS ADAMS, JR. “CHARLES Some one at the western end of the parlor called ame of Onarles Francis Adams, Jr., and the Presi requested the gentleman trom Massachusetis to say something. Mr. Adams humorously declined for much the same reason as that assigned by h predecessor—that 1 was unwise to shoot until the bi ‘was let out of the basket. He, therefore, begged to be excused until the return of the committee, A VOICE FROM THE YOUNG MEN. Henry A.

After the conference was fuirly started several others fame in to learn what had been done and to indorse 1t if they could. The secretary of the conference, Mr. H. C. Lodge, stated that he had reecived nearly 500 letters from different persons in sympathy with the objects of the assemblage. Of these, perhaps the most interesting ‘and important were written by Judge Hoadley and J. D Cox, of Obio; Wirt Dexter, Governor Koerner, L. T. Chamberlain and Francis Lackner, of Iinow; William E. Dodge, Benjamin A. Willis and D. D, 8. Brown, of New York; W. H. Rawl,~ of Venusylvania; Robert ¥. Hil, of Michigan; R. B. Anderson, Alexander Me- Donald ava John F. Potter, of Wisconsin; Paul A.

Bryant and ir. Leonard Bacon were next invited to communicate their views to the assemblage. The former gentleman begged to be excused, as he was not prepared, REY. DR. LEONARD BACON said to President Wooisey that he had told him in tho imorning when they were commg to this city on the | train that he did not kuow what they were coming for, exeept it was to hear and learn something about the political condition of the country. “This evil com- plained of,” said Dr, Bacon, “is avthing now, It has existed from the beginuing and hus grown with the population and wealth of the country.”” He then remarked that if the cotintry was to be ned by parties, which he was not prepared to contradict, he wanted to know what was to govern parties, That, he thought, was the question to be cou- sidered by the Conierence. When a party outlived the issue that justified its existence its tendency to corruption was almost irresistible, The issue which had given life to the parties of to-day was obsolete, and its tendency was thereiore corrupt. There is an issue now belore the people—a moral issue. It is whether the nation shall pay ity debts or repudiate them. That which makes fraud and kuavery so common Is that the country ts | demoralized by the bad faith of its government, or what is known as that abstract person: cle Sam, Lying notes of his, which were frauds, were strewn all over the country, so that his condition pow may. be aptiy expressed by the follow- ing Sermptural text "He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath tyrued him aside that he cannot deliver his soul; nor say is there not alie in my right hand." The | great eadeayor of both the parties in the commg con- ventions will be to settle the qrestion as to who shall grasp the United States bbe and boid for its own ‘use, and who shail monopolize ali the fat offices. Timo ‘was when in this there were oitices of Lonor and offices of emolumgnt. The former nowadays are sought be- cause they may lead to cmolument, not because they ure honorable, Iu the coming campaign, if the ques- tion, Shali Uncle Sam pay his debts or ask for an ¢: tension of time? be submitted to the people, they will show what they think is best and most honorable. “I believe in the people. They always go in for honesty Father Uan fraud; right tustead of wrong. HOX, JULIUS HM. SEELYR, Tho next speaker wis Congressman Julius HL.

Speaking of the degeneracy ot the times, 80 much deprecated by previous speakers, he said tnat he could not see oO niuch cause alarm or ehame; for was 1 not @ fuct that when Congress had cast tts drag net all over the United Stites in quest of fraud and cofruption comparatively litthe had been found?

George £hot, in her latest instalment ot the novel of “Daniel Deronda," epeaks of a man’s thought in com- parison with the ripples made by throwing a stone into water, They rise from somo mysterious source, and bo sooner do the outermost ones faintly die away than new ones spring heavily from the centre. So it is ‘with political discussion as we find it throughout ow exchanges. One strong force may produce innumer- able ripples of thought, always spreading into enlarg- ing circles, while new ones come to freshen the idea, Editors are beginning to go below the surlace for polttical forces, and to study not’ merely types like Blaine, Thurman, Bayard and Conkling, but the people themselves, who make or permit those types to be what they are. Tho Hxeatp has for some time been en- couraging the people to study themselves as well as their representatives. Mr. Seymour and Mr. Adams both struck this idea forcibly, The Boston Pst says that THE MATERIAL OP TUE TWO PARTIES “of the country for the purposes of a Presidential nomination contrasts as sharply a8 their positions.”” That the elements of popular covtest tor government supremacy are somewhat responsible for the ugly ac, tions of thoir representatives seoms to be appreciated by the Pittsburg Dispatch, which says:— “To raise the standard of morality we must not only cal things by their right names, but must punish dis- honesty and corruption, no matter in what form they | reveal themselves. Wo cannot expect that men will do honestly and act justly so long as they are bid god- speed in a career of theft and malfeasance, The public and private conscience scems to be blunted, and it must | be enlightened if we are to have greater integrity among bosiness men and officials, The press 1s the great social edueator, and to the raising of the standard | of morality it should lend all its energics, for so long | as it covers over and connives at guilt so long will we | have impurity and fraud, both in high and low places.” Of the non-politician eloment the Troy Times says: They can’t expect to be leaders at the start, Let | them join either of the two great parties, do their duty | at the primaries and 1m conventions, gee to it that only good men are nominated for public office, and use their | influence within the parties to which they attach them. selves, and perbaps they may accomplish something, | especially as they are one andall men of culture and intelligence. But in an independent, exciusive, more- righteous-than-thou sort of organization, like tho league proposed, they will be powerless fur good, and may do @ great deal of harm. Hl CALIFORNIA POLITICS areassuming definite shape. The independents have undoubtedly agreed to go buck to the republican’party. What course Leland Staniord and the powerful Central Pacific Ruilroad will pursue remains to be ascertained. The San Francisco Chronicle, which is a very conserva- tivo paper in its editorial expressions, say At the last election tho official count gave Governor Irwin 61,609 votes and Phelps and Bidwell, rival cun- j didates, a joint vote of 61,052 . Add to the latter iig- ures the 356 votes for Lovell, the temperance reforin candidate, and Irwin's majority over all was 101. But it is well known that many republicans, rather than vote for either faction of their own party, did not vote | | at all or voted for Irwin. Therefore California can | bardly be considered a doubtful State in the coming Presidential campaign, The present Lieutenant Gov- | | ernor ts a minority officer, having received only 58,424 | | Votes — 63,569 cast for his rivals. These last fig- | ures show the popular vow rather than those tor the | Goveruor, and give the republican party the advantage | of 2,080 votes mn their favor over the vote cast for tho | democratic Governor, and 5,145 better than Mr. Johu- son received, | IN PENNSYLVANIA | the republican politicians aro quite absorbed in tho | commg nomination, Mr. Darr, the editor of the Har- | misburg Telegraph, in @ private conversation, has said;— Your people underrate Morton’s strength too. He TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1876—TRIPLE SHEET. Daggers or military force, and of which the ean party has sivags been ‘deprived in that section, To Dominate Bristow is to insure two things—victory at the election und honesty in administration. Speaking of Bristow, the Cincinnati Commercial says:— ‘There are a number of journals ania great number of voters who would not support anybody likely to be botore the Cincinnati Convention, with the exception of Mr. Bristow. This isn’t what you call bolting, One has to be inside a party before he can bolt its nomina- tion. Bristow has an immense outside strength that another candidate couldn’s get, That is the whole story. ‘The Southern journals are discussing political ques- tions in good taste and with broad sense, “Let the past alone”’ seems to be the general idea. The New Orleans Picayune in a fair article says:— THE SRW SOUTH 4s to be controlled by a new order of men, nc longer by the aristocratic and unyielding planter nabob, im- Dued with ideas which belong to an extinct school of political philosophy; no longer by the carpet bugger, who bas no principles and no seruples, only rapacious greed and lawless an:bition; but by men who love not only the South, but the whole country; men who ac- cept the situation and understand its requirements, meu in accord with the altered institutions of the land, men who know their rights under the constitution as tis and who mean to maintain them. pith AL el iM a JUDGE DAVID DAVIS’ CHANCES, To rux Eprtor oy tux Heraty:— The democrats, so far, seem to be governed with more pradence than heretofore. They are more than ever disposed to regard availability in the selection o a candidate rather than personal devotion to a particu, larman. They do not intend to hazard success in an cflort to advance the aspirations of any one msn. They desire success now, as a failure would renew a long lease of power to those who have so long exercised it, It is for these reasons that they send so many of their delegates to St. Louis unpledged, They aro left free tomake up their minds on a survey of | the whole ficld, as it presénts itself after the Cincin Rati nomination, as to what 1s best to be done to secure success. These facts render it very difficult to even make a guess at the respective strength of the various gGentlomen named us candidates, The republican leaders, to avoid being put on the @eience of their control of affairs, are determined to put the democrats upon the defensive; to iinke te election turn entirely upon the question whether the | late | | government shall be Febeis or republicans, administered by the So tur they have been vi ry Buccessiul, as witness the amnesty debate and the right of secession, in which Messrs, Hill and Tucker furnished all the materiais desired. If they can now force tho democrats to nominate some Man identiiied with the democratic organization which Opposed the war to mamtain the Umien they will have the tssue made up to their satisfaction, because, on that issue they feel certain of success. The old light will be bright over again, and the result cannot be duuvted. That issue is to be deprecated by all who desiro a | restoration of that good teeing which can alone secure the happiness and prosperity of all sections of the | country. It is for the purpose of avoiding this issue that so many of the most sagacious democrats in various Swites have mentioned Judge Davis ersun on whom to unite, It is thought that his great honesty of character, ability and conservative views are such as | to call to his support all who desire an honest adminis: tration of natioual affairs, and a restoration of an era Of good feeling, such as distinguished the administra- tion of Bir, Munroe, Judge Davis is nota candidate for the nomination, He has,not done nor will he do anything to secure it. If it comes to him it must come as the result of the de- hberate conviction of those who go to St. Louis that it is the best thing for them todo, Snoutd it come in | that way no doubt be will resign his seat on the Bench | and accept it. It is kuiown that, in all the delegations yet selected, there are many who entertam views favorable to his Nomination ; but how many in each delegation it ts difll- cult to say. ' After it is apparent that leading favorites cannot receive a two-thirds vole the delegations from the Western and Northwestern States, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, West Virginia and other States will be very anxious for his nowimation. Itis thought that his nomination would do much to carry the States of Ohio and Indiana in October, which aro so important as iniluencing the election in November. His triends are cortain that ho can get the votes of Illinois and Wisconsin, Indiana and Unio, if nominated. Wasmixcros, May 12, 1876, VINDEX. BLAINE AND BRISTOW CLUB. tow Club was held last night at Science Hall, No. 141 Eighth street. The committee of conference which had atiended the Independent Republican Conference held at the Filth Avenue Hotel, reported, and on mo- tion it wus resolved to continue it until the conference adjourned. Mr. Henry C. Robinson related his experi- ence with the members of the todependent party during the day, and gave it as his impression that a third party could not be ized at this late date and the better plan was to place in nomination reform candidates within the party lines. He thought that tho party in the aggregate was pure as the powertul dem- has a much better standing inthis State than you thu you ‘Wi entirely too new & find tts to be the case with } Moral conviction.

The attendance at the Exhibition to-day has been very largo; larger, apparently, than on any day wince the opening, judging by the length and number of the lines of ladies, gentlemen and children who passed through the turns.iles, After the morn- ing rush of visitors was over, and the throng had seattered through tho grounds apd buildings of this 450-acre enclosure, a new comer would bave hardly imagined that there were about 15,000 people inside, The distances are so great, everything is on 80 | vast a scale, that the grounds would hardly be well | filled were there 60,000 people within the gates, BY THK WAY, this 1s about the number of visitors which the Exbibh tion will have to average every day during the #2 months to make a return to the holders of Centennial stock. It is estimated that to pay back im full, withoul interest, what has been advanced by the subscribers te the stock, the receipts must be about $30,000 pes day, which, at fifly cents a head, would be 60,006 | visitors per diem. Weduesday last, the opening day, was the only occasion upon which this amount was Teached ; consequently, frum a pecuniary point of view, | the Exhibition is not a success thus far, The pumbet | Of visitors on Saturday was 11,650. Twice that num ber would have gone in yesterday if the Commis stuners had had the good sense to OPEN THY GATKS ON SUNDAY to the thousands who peeped through the palings an@ went away in disgust, perhaps to arop into some of the gin mills which have sprung up by the thousand om the avenues around the Exhibition enclosure, These frame structures form what is calied “Shanty Town.” Some of them are most disreputable places, and all will | reap a profit as long as the gates are closed on San day to those who desire a more ‘nnocent amusement than getting drunk. All the beer saloons and barrooms, and ail the side shows of every description withine milo of the Exhibition grounds, wero crowded to es- cess all day Sunday, and there was more hard drinking dono and more unmorality indulged in on Sunday than on any other day in the week, Such 1s the effect of debarring trom iustructive and innocent amusement a city full of strangers, Tbe openimg of the gates om Sunday is bound to come sooner or later, A TOUR THROVOM THE BUILDINGS TO-DAY | showed many gratifying advancements, proving that the exhibitors, at ali events, had improved each shin. ing hour on Sunday to complete their unfinished dis- plays. The Russian goods are arriving to-day, and it is gratify» ing to know that Russia’s vacant space in the main build ing will soon bo filled. Her goods aro packed tm heavy boxes—very bulky, many of them—and made of water. proof wood, closely joined, a8 though weil prepared for a voyage of half way round the world. ‘The Brazilian section is one of the few that is em tirely completed. Yet one of the most attractive few tures of their exbibit they have been unable to display | because of the Custom House regulations. The Custom House department is the béte notre of all the Commis. sioners,\home and foreign, and many of them think that it should be called THE ONSTACLE DEPARTMENT, The Brazilian Commissioner says that among otnes articles brought on from his country for the Exhibition ‘was & magnilicent dispiay of diamonds, The collection is worth €3,000,000; but as the Commissioner was in formed at the Custom House that he would be required | to give his personal bond for twice this sum betore the valuables can be taken from the Custom House—to guarantee against their sale—and ag the Commissioner could not conveniently do this, the visitors to the Exhibition will be deprivea of the brillant spec- tacio of TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS’ WORTH OF DIAMONDS, in the British section very little remains to de dome. Queensland and sume of the other culoutes are behind- land, but tho mother country ig im time, India’s goods ure for the most part in place, and a very rich show they make. The first object in India’s space that | attracts the attention is a large case containing a uum- | ber of brocades of beautitul lustre and tnish; fine silks; a cashmere,coat olaborately embroidered in gold and silver; also handsome golden satin ilk gauze em- broidered white turbans and specitnens of wild silk, | the worms of which feed on castor oil plant, | _ In the rear of this case are various wrticies of furni- ture, mado of blackwood, artistically und sktitully carved and of unique designs. Some ot the articles are | President ot the Republic, to whom, it 1s thought, | ; General Mariayo Y. Prado will, if elected, gnortly | hand over the Presidency. | AN IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL QUESTION SETTLED, |. The nitrate qacation bes been settied with tho | | banks. Anthony Gibbs & Son, of London, aro 10 bo | the consignees of the shipments of the migm@evof the | government, They aro to advance $200,000.at once and Pay the threo months’ interest due on the purchase | Money. The proxent export duty is sixty cents per | 100 pounds weight, It is proposed to increase that duty to $1 500r $2, hard money, while the govern- nent shipments will be freo of duty. Private owners and shippers will thus be forced out of the compe- | tition. ENGLAND'S RELATIONS TO THE REPURLIC. A report is current that Great Britain purposes send- ing ships of war to Callao to protest against the con- tinued imprisonment of the Captain and officers of the steamship Talisman. MONEY AND TRADE. Finance and commerce aro still at a low ebb, Exchange, 33d. per sol (hard dollar), and scarce, BRIGHAM YOUNG'S PROPHETIC GIFTS. (From the San Francisco Chronicle.) There is hardly a day that some startling develop- ment in the physical world doos not reveal itself, as- | suming form‘and force sutficient to be characterized as phenomenal. The Gentiles have for many years doubted and derided the prophetic gifts claimed by | Brigham Young, conceding to him only that consum- | mate shrewdness and cunning which enabled him to make capital out of the bigotry and superstition of the weak and ignorant, Certain current events, however, will segve to strengthen the Mormon faith tn Brigham’s powers of divination, and convince them that tho Pro- phot’s mantle bas really fallen upon the shoulders of this modern vaticinator. The Chronicle is the first to rove bit of sturtling bistory in connection with the ; foresight of the leader of the Later Day Saints. It is weil known that for the past twelve months ; the grand project for transferring the Mormon popu- | lation to New Mexico has been under co: | Brigham and his emissarics, As alread: iy the Chronicle, Governor Axtell, formerly of Utah, but | | quietly working with this end in view, paving the way | tor the establishment of a new Mormon ompire. Tho | | worid has been puzzicd to know why the Latter Day | Saints, after working for more than @ quarter of a | century to build up Zion in Utah, should be willing toabandon all the magnificent improvements of the Great Salt Lake Valley, and become once more pio- neers of tho wilderness. | But the inciting caugo is now as palpable as it ts inevitable and irresistible, The great Prophet by his powers of divination bas discovered why the Great Salt Lako has boen rising at the rate of twelve inches every twelvemonth for many years.” There 18, as is Well known, no surfuce outlet to the waters of Salt Lake, although sev- eral streams of considerable volume are coutin- finished with fabrics of exquisite tints, Near the fur- | mitaro aro several casos of gold and silver jewelry, | comprising heavy bracelets, necklaces, &c. ; aiso ivory | goods inlaid with gold and a number of samples of } ee table Niger digonp noon weer ingens oo Dlagree bese hen one an opportunity of | partment in- detatl the most beautiful and curious things Can be seen. We can hardly settle down to this yet, among such an emparrassmont of riches, MACHINERY HALL | this morning presented an appearance which was de- | eidedly an improvement on what it has been at an | time heretotore, showing that the exhibitors took ad- vantage of the closing of the grounds yesterday to ar- range their exhibits, and many of them perfected their connection with the steam power, so thatthe ma- chinery in aciive operation is noticeably greater thap it was on Saturday. THR WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT. The goods forexhibition in the women’s depart ment are coming in rapidly. A large box of goods trom Wisconsin has been received containing articles | of curiosity and value, There has also been rocetved « box of gouds from the State of New Hampshire. The two collections embrace almost every conceivable ar- tcle manulactured by women, and are said to inclade some of the finest specie: yet exhibited. They | were opened this morning, and will be placedin the positions they have been assigned at the earliest pos sible moment. GILMORE’S CONCERTS. Gilmore’s concerts in the centre ban are 8 great traction, and ure daily listened to by thousands, The stand is most eligibly situated, and it will be foand @ mustake if 1t be removed tv any other portion of the grocnds THE SWEDISH SCHOOL HOUSE. Thegovernment of Sweden bas erected in the grounds, situated east of th x to Memorial Hall, a Swedish school house. It is a square building, one story in height, is composed of a light wood, stained, the boards forming its sides being about a balf foot in th ness, the ends extending out several feet, and notched to fit across, after the same plan used in the construction of a log house. Over each of the doors and at the sides are gables, giving to the building a pleasing architectural finish. The doors are very ornate, They are covered with nickel plated nails a iew inches apart, Stopping within, we pass through a small entry into the olroom. The windows of this are larger, admitting a sufficiency of light, aud the matter of ventilation is well looked after, Hout is supplied by ineans of a patent tireplace, whieh is surrounded by a polished tile, which extends to the coiling, The desks ure fitted to accommodate but one Person, and are similar to thovd in use in our own schools. as are also the chairs, except that tbe latter have straight backs, The walls are covered with- charts und drawing cards, while one corner is occu; by a cabinet of natural curiosities and minerals, another corner is a small orga: The school ie very complete in all its details, and a Swedish ue hae been sent over by the government to afver this building and to arrange the interior. AR RIVAL AT LAST OF THE ARGENTINE REPUB LIC GOODS FOR THE EXHIBITION. The schooner Nancy Smith, from Buenos -Ayros, ar* ually discharging their waters into the lake. In the opinion of all scientific explorers of this inland salino | | seathere has existed « subterrancan outlet through | | whieh its surplus waters have flowed, But Brigham’s | prophetic eye has discovered that this outlet has been | | gradually ch&king up by precipitations of vast quan- | | titres of chioride of sodium, damining the waters of the | | lake ag well as the (uture hopes of Mormondom, It is | | only @ question of time when this sabterranean waste. — } gate shall be completely closed, aud then a single | | spring flood in all the tributary strearos will cause tbé | | lake to overflow itx bounds and submergo the entire | | Sult Lake Valley. This result being inevitable Brigham | ts more than anxious to flee trom this second deluge | | before the engaliment and ruin of the new City of | Zion. He has no time toemulate the example of Cap- } tain Noah and build arks for his numerous followers, but prefors to wae ek away to New Mexico, leay- ing the hated Gentiles, who have se unceremoniously | invaded his kingdom, to enjoy the great salt water bath so soon to be provided tor their accommodation, In the interests of humanity, however, and as a timely | warning against an impending disaster, we feel con- | rained to divulge the true reason for the contem- plated Mormon exo from Utah.
