Route of the Drive—Some Exquisite Feminine Toilets The coaebing parade to-morrow promises to be the most brilliant exbibition of the kind ever wit- nessed tn this country, as it 18 now nearly certain that twelve drags are to be present in fine. It ts rather curi- ous to look back ten years !n the history of outdoor sports and quictly observe the wonderful change that has taken place {nfthe babits of American gentlemen of leisure and fortune. In those days a four-in-hand coach, driven by an amateur whip, was a curiosity. Rowing was just beginning to excite @ slight interest in collogians and other young mon, Pigeon sbooting was the sport ofa limited few. Running racing was in {ts infancy and polo was not known, The gentle- men of leisure of those days occasionally drove a fast horse, passed @ day at a trotting meeting, and, a8 # rule, devoted more attention to business A more liberal spirit appears now to have sprung up, and New York city is rapidly be- coming like London, aris and other European capi- wis. The running races bring out large flelds of thoroughbreds of a class and quality—as recent per- formances bave shown—second to none in the world. "The Coaching Club has alist of seventeen drags on its roll, the polo clubs {n this and other cities are in ac- Live operation, boat clubs are thriving in every largo city in the Union, and our pigeon shots are celebrated the wide world over, This remarkable change in the hubits and customs of the American people 1s not the work ofaday or a year, but the result of a quict change that has becn gradually developing during the past ten years, Travelling abroad and visiting Kuro, pean cities hus given American gentlemen of fortune a taste for outdoor amusements that they have gradu- ally introduced at home, thus making New York city a8 fascinating to the wealthy man of icisare as the gay foreign capitals, HISTORY OF COACHING. Conching is itself essentially a British pastime, dat- ing back very many years, when the English squire used to takedelight in driving the old mail coaches that ran out of London in every direction prior to the introduction of steam, ‘That wonderiul invention gradually swept the ola mail coach out of existence, but could not kill the love tor the sport, as when the gentlemen had no public coaches to drive they started their own drags and drove tor the love of the pastime. Gradually, bowever, they found the want of an object in their daily drives, and some gentlemen conceived the !dea of running a daily coach to some picturesque Fpot at a convenient distance from the city of London and carrying passengers, tuus placing the recreauioa in the reach of many that woald otherwise b: debarred the pleasure of adrive and also dec: the expense of their establisnment, This custom has since become very popular and several coaches owned ind driven by private gentlemen are running daily out ot London during the season. N NEW YORK. t Colonel Delancey Kane first acquired a taste for couching, and after driving daily ture for a couple of seasons, during which time ho ac- guired the reputation of a frst class whip, he returned io New York with (he intention of introducing his fa- yorite pastime on this side of the Atlantic. The al- most remarkable. success and the very liberal patron- age tu was accorded to the New York aod Peliam Ouch last season must have been very gratifying to Colonel Kane, us it so plaiuly evinced the appreciation of his countrymen ard their approbation of the recrea- tion be bad estabished. 1t 15 also an assured i that e success Colone!

McCarthy on the charges preferred against him by the Rev. E.G, Swootser, A larger crowd was present than on the day betore They were mostly composes of the female wembers of the belligerent pastors’ congregations, and separated themselves into (wo groups according us thelr sym- pathies were with Mr. MoUarthy or Mr. Sweetser. The committee opened proceedings by aunouncing their decision in regard to the third and fourth charges against Mr, McCarthy. These charges wore to the effect that he had violated his trust, in that he was dismissed from the Bleecker street pulpit he immediately started another society in the same neigh- porhood and tried to draw our people alter him;” also, in that “be claimed to bave # grievance against the trustees of the society and proceeded to sue them ‘at the law instend of appealing to your honorable body fora settiement of the difficulty, thus acting i opposition to the express commands of the Bible— (Mauhew, xviti.,.15-17; 1. Corinthians, vi., 1-7)--and to the by-laws of our State Convention.” The committe who had heard arguments on this point the previous day, decided that the charges, 1f proven, would cou- der, The trial was then proceeded with, after ap im- effectual protest from Mr, MoCarthy againet Mr. Gun- nison acting ss clerk, DLERCKER STREET SOCIETY. Mr. Sweetser read the fifth charge—That Mr. McCarthy showed “a spirit of wickedness and dis- loyalty in saying to him that if this suit should come to atrial it would rain the Bleecker Street Society." ‘This he proceeded to substantiate by giving the details of aconversation between himself and Mr, McCarthy. ‘The latter bad spoken the words alleged, he said, in a threatening mannoy, Mr, McCarthy replied that his words, 80 far from showing a spirit of disloyalty, might bave merely shown bis desire to kecp out of a trial through love for the church, mm order to avoid an exposure that would be disgraceful to the Church, His accuser presumed to Judge of bis manuer of speaking and the spirit in which he acted, The point atissue was not to be decided by what might de bis accuser’s opinion, Mr. Sweetser answered that Mr. McCarthy’s words were spoken ino very puguacious manner, “Sapposing,” said he, “that Mr, Mcvarthy had sued the Board of Trustees for a certain amount of money, he was after the money. Therefore be pro- fesses to know that i be presses the suit he will bring the whole Church ito disrepute und ruin, unless te Board will compromise with him, If that 1s lovo, commend me to hate.’?

Mr, McCarthy protested in a jong argument, de- livered by nis couusel, Mr. H. H. Sbook, but their protests Were of uo avail The committee proceeded to find out whether a spirit of wickeduess could be shown from Mr, MoCarthy’s manner in using the words relerred to, Mr. Sweetser was asked to do- Mr, McCartby’s manner, and replied as fol —To descrive his manner is very difficult; jt is one of those indeserivable things. 1 can hardly say what his manner was—in gcneral a very lively motion of bis bands, with a somewhat upward tendency on that occasion, and the tone of bis voice was very tar from being musical, but one im which people usually express anger, That's all.’ The details of the conversation were next given, ‘As he was avout to leave the house,’’ said Mr, Sweetsor, ‘he said to me that | was not prepared to understand him beca: T aido’t stand in his position, to wuich I replied that I hoped 1 never should, whereupon he, evidently understand- ing me to mean that | hoped | snould never stand in his position morally, said to me thatif I did stand in his position morally 1 should stand a great deal higher than I did.’? Mr. McCarthy—That’s true. (Great laughter.) Mr, Sweetser—Immediately thereupon be uséd the words ] have quoted in the charge.

A MEETING OF MERCHANTS TO SECURE AMERI- CA’S BEPRESENTATION THEREIN—SPEECHES BY MB, SCHULTZ AND MR, ABRAM 8&8, HEW- ITT—-A DELEGATION TO THE PRESIDENT. * An important meeting of the merchants of the city was held yesterday afternoon, In room 26 of the Cooper Institute, for the purpose of taking measures to forward au American exhibit at the Paris Exhibition of 1878, There was a very large attendance, The chair was taken by Mr. Jackson 8. Schultz, who stated that the meeting was called to make good the omission of the general government in vot accepting the invitation of France to America to take part in the Exposition of 1878, He believed that it wi desir- able work, and that a way would be found to do it, Mr. Sehgman said that be bad been asked to use his influence in favor of the movement. America stood now almost at tue bead of all manufacturing and in, dustrial interests, and it was only rignt that it should make atair showing at the industrial Exhibition of 187% There bad been some reports in the newspapers \hat & postponement of the exnibition was favored by France, This, however, was scarcely probable. He would recommend that a committee be appointed to see President Hayes and Secretary Evarts to urge upon ‘them the desirability of some official sanction being given to the present movement. He had no douvt that if the President would signify his approval, that Congress, when it meets oo the lith of October, will make the needtu! appropriution. Mr. Nathan Appleton, of Boston, roferred to the great success of the Centennial Exhibition at Phila- Geiphia, to she impetus that was then given to the opening of new markets for the produce and manu- factures of*America, and to the opportunity that would be given of exhibiung to ali pations in 1878 what America can doin competing in the markets of the world, 1+ was, however, very requisite that the move- ment should recetye the sanction of the government; the autuoritics in Paris would not accept the proposals of any number of private citizens unless they were in- aorsed by the government. ‘THE NECESSITY PUR REPRESENTATION, Mr. Abram 8, Howitt: commenced by relerring to his inability to speak elearly and at length in con: quence of a sore throat, contracted in the bad atmos. phere of the House of Representatives during the last session of Congress. He thou explained how, owing to the protracted discussion of the Presidential ques- tion, the late Congress did not formaily and officially, olution, aécept the invitation of the French gov- ot that America should be represented at the Exposition of 1878. Mr. Hewitt then went on to show that there had been a similar difficulty in reference to the Paris exhibition of 1867, and that. when, eariy in 1565, the invitation was received by President Lincoln, he, with ‘%bat Jarge and catholic spirit that governed him in everything he did,’”’ volun- tarily apna unofficially obtained tho co-operation of the Secretary of State and the French Minister ut Washington, 80.as 10 give the necessary official coloring to what was done, This, with the action of Commis. sioner Beckwith, at Paris, aud its subsequent approval by Congress, made the arrange! ts for the American exhibit access. Ai! this was done, of course, in ad- vance of legisiation, Mr, Hewitt suid, and there were now all the pecessary blanks fo1 plications for space at Washington, and there was every opportunity for remedying the delay, Mr. Hewitt then went on to show that the manufacturers of America would not have so much to learn in 1 au they aid in 1867, He then dwolt upon the tmportance of America availing berself of every opportunity of opening up new markets: Jor her manufacture, because of the large productive powers of the country. It would be quite Idle, hows ever, {or the Anerican people to do much or oxpect todo much at this 1878 Exhibition at Paris unless they were prepared to moderate the tariff, aud thus strike off the chains that havo bound the trade of this country 80 galiingly. {Applause.) That done, the sec- oud century of this Kepublic would bave a history, a far as trade was concerned, fur more wonderful than that which bad distinguished the history of the frst century. Mr. William Herrick, am Americap merchant re- siding in Paris, but now on a visit to this country, urged the desifabihty of prompt action on the part of the merchants. In Paris the people could 0} under- stand the delay of the American government, o pecially ag France was now a Kepublic and almost the only repubhe in Europe, England, the old and vigoi ous competitor of American manuluctures, was pre paring Ww do great things at the Paria Exhibition, ‘The Vrince of Wales, who is the President of the Eng- lish Commission, bad already applied for and had granted to him double the space originaily altoteed, ihe original space was double that which was now awaiting Lhe acceptance of America. After speeches from the representatives of American mapulactures, the following resolutions wero unanimously carried; — THX PRESIDENTS ACTION asKKD, Whereas we believe tnat a proper exhibit of the resvurces und manufactured products of the Uniied St at the Maris Expsition of 167% will bp tn many w estimable benefit to cur people. and whereas we vinced that it is the general wish Country aliall be represe tt position in wc i commensurate with its position ale ipanner an among the community of nations, ang whereas the ig wow so short before the opening ot the «x iu the interest of our proposed exhibitors th 0 Commission from t) | cou.” “thew # man cap be immoral, though be | Boi | obeys: the tev commandments?” Yes’?

A resolution was also passed authorizing the chair. man lo appoint a Comuiuttee of three to proceed to Wuahiugton and urge President Hayes and Secretary Evarte to take some action in reference to the invita- tion of the French government. A subsequent resolution appointed Mr. Jackson 3, Schultz, the chairman of the meeting, an additional member of the committee, The meeting then adjourned, | NOTHING LIKE I The Collector yesterday received a despatch from the Treasury Department im which was enclosed a docu- ment transmitted by the American Consul General at Berlin, Germany, requesting of the leather trade a con- tribution of American leather for the international special leather exhibition to be neld at Berlin from the 8th to the 20th of September, 1877.

Results of the Teachings of Fa- naticism and Ferocity. WRITHING OF THE SAINTS. THE BRACE OF THE POLYGAMISTS NEARLY RUN. {From tne Elizabeth Herald.) ‘The United States government has been very lenient toward the Latter Day saints, but never was leniency Jess appreciated The day is at band, however, when the consideration of their orrmes and their contempt of the benign influences of the (ree institutions which have made 1t péssible fof them to build up a garden in the wilderness must demand serious attention and such offences receive the punishment they richly merit, Of late, inspired by the revelations attending the trial of Bisbop Lee for murder, in which Brigbam Young was his accomplice, tne New York Heraty bas taxen this matter in band, and it is uot to be denied that 1% bas, through able correspondents in Utah, unmaskea the villanies of Mormonism a8 they bave cever been velore If the people of the United States have not been stirred to indignation by these disclosures it must be because they have not read them. But as the continual dropping will wear away the rock, the Hzraxp is bound to make an im- pression if it keeps on at this rate, The history of the Morinons 16 literally written in blood, Tho people who compose the colony are drawn from the lowest classes in Europe througb the lies of Mormon mis- sionaries, There are nearly forty thousand children tn Utab who have been born there, and they are to grow up under influences in every way bosiile to vir- tue and loyalty. They are taught, aa their ignorant fathere and mothers have been, that adultery is a Christian duty; thatthe life ot a Gentile 18 worth no more than the life ofa dog)! tt stands wm the way of Mormon advancement, and that the United States gov- ernment, which has given them a home and all that they hav @ creature of the devil to be fought with Gre and ord. Time has been when a Gentile daro not show bis face in Utah alter oightfall, aud now bis safety depends only upon the knowledge that he can- not be murdered with impunity. If Brigham Young bad his way none but Mormons would live in the Ter- ritory which he claims to hold by divine right, With- dzaw the four of retribution at the hands of the United States government and the flaw of blood would be greater’ toan that which has mado St. Bartholomew's Day memorable as the bloodiest mm the calendar. The question is, How long js this community of polygamists and cutthroats to be tolerated? Weare not prepured to say that the tame has arrived when the federal government should proceed to extreme measures, but we do say that the day is not {ar distant and that the Mormons are has- tening it, The leading spirits among the polygamists know that their race 1s nearly run, and instead of in- stituting reforms that would insure to them the pro- tection ot tolerance which they have so eadly abused seem to have hardened their hearts for the provoca- tion of the sword of justice, Governor Emory and District Attorney Howard, the most responsible federal officers in the Territory, confirm the report that the Mormon. militia bas been reorganizing and drilling with the viow to the defence of their leaders against prosecution for crime of which they are Known to be This means war against the United Sta aro doing ail in their power to fan the flame, The tabernacle is crowded weekly with audiences lashed into excitement by the profane and disioyal ravings of aposties, bishops and elders.

Serious charges against Mormon leaders multiply, Nearly all the links in the circumstantial chain have been found and it 1s thought the responsibility for the Mountain Meadows massacre will certainly be ixed on Brigham Young. Great credit is due the New Yore Hgraco tor its good work performed to the end that the Mormon miscreants may be unmasked. THE HERALD AIDING JUSTICE. {From the Wilkesbatre Record.} If the New York Hgracp continues its researches in Utah it will make the conviction of the Mormon lead- ers easy, The Hegacp representatives are doing what the authorities of the government should do, THE MORMON SIDE. [From the Doseret Nows. ]. First—it is not im accordance with the genius of American government to use Jederal troops to do police and militia duty at home, Second—The announced policy of the administration {g not to use the troops for any such purpose so long as it can possibly be avoided, Thrd—Thie conservative and moderate policy has given peuce to the Southern States alter years of dis- turbance through the use of troops, and caused many to say that the civii war did not end until after the ac- cession of President Hayes aud the adoption of bis Southern policy. Fourth—Thore is not tho slightest necessity for more [troops in Utah. The peopie are eminently peaceable, There is no interference with the courts, present or Prospective. There is no interferouce with a single |, fedoral official, civil or military, im the discharge of his / duty. Thore is no insurrection, no rebellion, no riot, no mob, nO public disturbance, none actual, none con- templated. Fifth--Thero is not the slightest necessity for any troops in Utah, Those who are here already have nothing to do, Their occupation is gone, and nobody interferes with them inthe least. Can anybody tell what there is for troops to do in Utab except tu spend the public money? What have troops ever done in Utah that could not have been just as well done by the people, so far as it was necessary? Of course the troops have to obey orders. They are nut to blame for coming here, officers or, men, Siath—Novertneiess and notwithstanding, if more troops are sent here, no trouble is apprehended, and some local benefits will accrue, though at the expense. of the general public, which the people here do not desire, as they wish to bear their own expenses and not be chargeable to the government in any way if they can possibly avold it, Lf more troops should come they will be ready to give protection to anybody that may need it, though we do not appretend that such necessity will arise, so far ns the peo plo are concerned, if the troops should stay here a whole century. There wm ove thing that more troops will do, if they come— they willspoud more money, certain, which wil! bene- fitthe community so far, and go far the community will be thankiul, and would ve thankful if the gov ment were to send the whole United States army to Utab and locate the same bere. Our farmers would be as busy as bees raising breadstufls and forage to sus- tain them—wheat, Yariey, oats, corn, potatoes, cab- bages, beets, onions, peas, beans, garden se"? fruits, bay, &c, Our mechanics would be on hand to butld quarters, storehouses, barracks or anything el The coal and wood men would be glad to supply fuel, The merchants weuld have their share of mil- itary patronage and the whole community would par- take of the financial and commercial benefits that would flow from the extensive numerous military presence, Seventh—If it should be determined to largely rein- force the military already he and the soldiers should come, we have no doubt that the people would endeavor to turn the circumstance to advantage. They would as soon make an honest dollar of a soldier as of a civilian, and they would do it if it could be done, GOVERNOR EMORY’S APPLICATION FOR MORE TROOPS—PROBABLE REFERENCE OF THE RE- QUEST TO GENERAL CROOK. Wasiinatox, May 24, 1877, The lotter of Governor Emory, of Utah Territory, to the Secretary of War, requesting that Camp Douglass im that Territory be provided with five companies of infantry and two of cavalry, that Camp Cameron shall Rave two full companies of infantry, tnat one infantry company shall be quartered at 3t. George, that another ‘shail be sent to Logan, in Cache Valley, and another to Fort Hall, has been referred to General Sherman to inquire 11 the matter and report upon the necessity of increasing the military force at those places. THB GOVERNOR'S REQUEST, Governor Emory, it will be remembered, asks that the force tn Utah be increased to promptly put down any outbreak among the Mormons, whom, he says, have recently beon arming aad drilling. General Crook, wno commands the Department of the Platte,in which the Territory of Utah ts located, has been so busily employed with Indian matters for several weeks past that be has not had the opportunity to inquire into these Mormon troubles, but the leticr will probably be referred to him by General Sherman when he returns to the city to-morrow or next day. GENERAL CROOK'S Cove General Crook will then go to Utah tor the purpose ofconsulting with Governor Emory, and if, in his opinion, any real necessity exists for increasing the force, the additional troops will be ordered to that Ter+ ritory. A few companies of the Fourteenth infantry are now at Camp Douglass and Fort Cameron, the two military posts in Utah, A GRAIN FREIGHT WAR. MB, WILLIAM 8. VANDERBILT'S MIS-ION ABROAD—WHAT BE SEEKS Tu ACCOMPLISH ‘There have been rumors of late in the financial cen- tros of this city that a war was threatened betweeo she Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central and Hudson River road in the matter of passenger raves. It was stated that Colonel Scott had been asked by Mr. William B. Vanderbilt to agreo to a certain running time on passenger trams between New York and St, Louis; that Colonel Scott refused, and that Mr. Vanderbilt conséquentiy determined to reduce his time The statement that Colonel Scott had taken this, position was doubted last evening, The rumor that there was this difference on the part of the management of the roads in the matter of running time—a difference, o! course caloulated to appeal to, that portion of the travelling public which 18 always ia a hurey— was supplemented by the report that the New York Central intended, as the noxt stage in the war, to ro. | duce the passenger rate. betweea New York and Qhi- cago from. $20 10 $15. mr.

Following op the heels of these rumors are atill others of far moro decided importance not only for railroad circles, but for the general commercial inter. ests of this city, These relate to the groat grain transportation and other freight from the West aud the aims of other cities agai pros ence of Mr. Wiiham H, Vanderbilt in Europe has sad. devly assumed a fresher aud stronger significance, ‘What it means in the minds of some can be gained trom the following outline of ® conversation last even. ing with a gentleman weil posteu on the inner history of the commercial circles of which be sp “Why is it that the commerce of New York city is crippled 1p the smportant matter of grain fretybist” “Because, a8 the statistics of last year’s grain freights will sbow, thig port in this particular line of ireighte from the West has been between the upper and retner millatones.

As thore seems to be a popular misunderstanding regarding Mr, Barnuny’s oflerxot $10,000 for the return of the child, it may be well to explain that Mr, Ross has not entered into an arrange- ment with the gr showman by which the latter 1s to have the contro! of the stolen child it he is recovered, for the purpose of exhibiting him and enablin; Mr. Ross and himself to make money by charging o much a head to sco th unfortunate little fellow.
