The Kill to Wipe Out 1 lie Mormons.
from the If. Y. Herald.
Mr. Ashley's bill concerning tbe boumUriea
of tbe Status of Nevada, Miuuenota, and Ne
braska, and the Territories of Colorado, Mon
tana, and Wyoming, having been twloe read
On the 11th irmtatit, referred to tho Committee
OB the Territories and ordered to be printed,
was on the 14 ih instant reported bajk with
amendments, and its iuituer oondideralion
was postponed until tho 2bth instant.
It is, almost without digitise, a bill to wipe
Out the Mormons. liy parcelling the region
wbloh, it is bnt just to say, was not long ago
a wildernesB, that the Latter Day Saints by
admirably organized and persistent industry
hare made to blossom like the rose, this bill
proposes to divide the Mormon forces ami thus
bring them more directly than before under
the control of the United States (ioverntueut,
of the common law, and of the almost uni
versal sentiment of Christendom condemna
tory of ptdygatny a preaohed and practised
by the disciples of Joe Smith.
We have nere nothing to say of the personal
schemes of political ambition and land specu
lations involved in this bill. It is of compara
tively little importance to tbe public at large
whether the pvnage of the bill would help
Mr. yiebley or anybody else to become Gov
ernor of Montana and future United States
Senator, or cheaply enrich this or that specu
lator at the expense of tbe Mormons, who
have already done so much to develop the
resources of the distant regions to which they
were driven by religious persecution, and from
which it is presumed they will again be
driven in consequence of the passage of Mr.
ABhley'8 bill. It is likely that this bill will
meet with spirited opposition on the part of
Mr. Hooper, delegate from Utah, and Mr. Bur
leigh, delegate irtm Dacotah, which also is
wiped out by its provisions. Others are
pledged to protest in Congress against the inex
pediency, if not the injustice, of such a muti
lation ot the map of the Uuited State3 as Mr.
Ashley proposes. Unquestionably CoDgress,
as composed of representatives of the people
of the United States, ha3 a perfect right to
legislate with reference to all territorial ques
tions. It has the right to sanction the parti
tion fef the State of Texas or that of the State
of Michigan, so earnebtly desired by the in
habitants of the Upper Peninsula, who would
like to have it ced;d to the General Govern
ment for the purpose of organizing the Terri
tory of Superior, and who olfered at the recent
Territorial Convention at Houghton very strong
arguments in favor of this purpose. But the
question of the proposed partition of Utah and
the abolition of its Territorial Government
presents a peculiarly difficult problem. It
wonld be undignified for the Government of
the UniUd States to try to cut the gordian
knot of this problem by anything like a Yankee
trick. Without discussing whether Salt Lake
City polygamy is or is not worse than unreoog.
ni.ed poligamy in Boston, New York, Phila
delphia, Washington, London, Paris, Vienna,
or any other city in Christendom without
comparing it even with what we consider the
much leBS objectionable system which pre
vails in Constantinople we must say that in
our opinion the question be'ore Congress
is mainly of expediency. Congress has
sow to decide whether it is more politio by
obnoxious, or only apparently obnoxious,
legislation, to afford the Mormons the im
mense advantages which every religious sect
derives from persecution, or to leave to the
Pacific Railroad, with all its irresistible oiviliz
inginflnenoes, the task of speedily eflaclng in
Mormondom whatever is inconsistent with
modern ideas of progress. It is not improba
ble that Mr. Ashley's bill, which would cut
Utah to pieces and give the fragments to the
adjoining States and Territories, which also
divides Minnesota and Nebraska, and which
despoils Idaho by giving naif her territory to
Montana, will be defeated.
Uencral Butler's "Similitudes."
From the N. Y. Tribune.
General Butler, as a financier, has done
better than some; he has added to the stock
of publij thought, and has widened the popu
lar view of our financial situation. It is too
early yet to predict whether any of his sug
gestions will become part of the financial
policy of the country. We regard his speech
as far more able than his plan, lie plans
badly; but the worse his plan the lluer the
opportunity for displaying his powers of
speaking well for a bad client. He proposes
that the present greenbacks and national bank
notes be withdrawn, and Treasury "certifi
cates of value," or pictures having a "simili
tude to money" not redeemable In gold, but
only receivable for taxes and customs, and
made legal tender in payment of all private
debts, be issued in their place, to the amount,
in disbursements by the Government, of
$350,000,000, and to the further amount, on
the application ot bondholders, of 90 per cent.
Of all the feix per cent, bonds outstanding,
provided the holders of those bonds shall
deposit them with the Government as secu
rity, and pay 3 u'5-100 per cent, per annum
for their use. Fractional ooins are also to be
issued of the intrinsic value of 50 per cent,
of the nominal amount of the present frac
tional currency, now worth in spade 75 par
cent, of its face. The proposition closes the
national banks as banks of Issue, and con
verts the Trearury into one vast national
bank f issue, authorized theoretically to loan
the bondholders, on the security of $1,750,
000,000 of six per cent, bonds, a volume of
enrrenoy amounting to f 1,575,000,000, which,
with the $ii50,000,0O0 of currency to be iss ied
in redemption of the greenbacks and for Gov
ernment expenses, amounts to a granl toul
of $1,925,000,000 of currency thus legally
authorized.
The question how much of this will ever ba
issued depeuds, by ttie terms of the bill, not
on the will of the Government, or of the
Seoretary of tbe Treasury, but on the interests
of the bondholders alone. The principal
bondholders are at pre. entth-i national batiks,
savings bauks, insnrauce and trust compa
nies and foreign and American capitalists de
aler! them as a means of investment. It is
Important to bear in mind that very few of
the bonds are held by the commercial and
business classes. Mr. Butler argues taat this
enrrenoy will be uniform, eouud, clap, sta
ble, and elastic. He cannot mean, by uniform,
that we will not still be compelled, by good
,), law. and express contract, to pro-
-m. nin with which to pay the in-
lavaaf An fin T live per cent, and six per cent
bonds. To this extent we must still hva oue
currency for the Government ana us creation,
and denreolated one for the
people. In order to provide coin for paving
the interest on the bonds, if our customs as
veil as internal taxes are payable in these
similitudes, the Government must sell them
A Its tmndft In ttiA market to get the gold.
Either the Government must repudiate the
interest (as well as principal) oi in uli
and its express promise and written law (s
well It" -I00 faUb), or it must in some
way receive and payout about ijslUHKMXO
in gold per at cum. To this extent our car- I
lencies wonld be no more uniform than befor. I
'1 bat the Government oould buy half a million
of collars in gold a day with paper "simili
tudes," which can be Issued to auy required
extent, ai d contii.ne to do this from year to
jearnntil tbe country wonld have "grown
np to" ttfecie payments, more smoothly,
cheaply, and tfficieutly than it oould collect
that sum for duties, General Batler my
fully believe. We do not. He explains to us
with preat clearness that the valae of our pre
sent currency depends upon, and is conferred
by, that of the bonds, insomuch that when the
rectnt German war caused l'rassiaus to sell
our lords largdy, in order to invest in tho
tew loans their owu Government was putting
on the market, and in consequence our bonds
declined, for a reason wholly disconnected
with our own credit or business, all the efforts
of Secretary MuOnllocu by selling gold to
previBtour greenbacks from deoliuing also,
as shown by the continued rise in gold, were
unavailing. Greenbacks fell to the level of
our bond. General Butler was on a good
scent here, and he should have followed it
further. Having shown that the value of
our present currency depends on that of the
bonds, be should have told us what the value
of tbe bonds depends upon. He could not
have avoided the conclusion that the value of
the bonds depends upon the adequaoy of the
provision made by us for paying their ooin in
teiec. Capitalists judge ot the value of any
investment by the adequacy and certainty of
tie interest. If that is kept right they can
get the principal at any time by selling the
bond. German, English, and American capi
talists will pay only 75 per cent, of its face for
an American bond, because under our system
of government there is about one chance in
four that, all prcision for meeting the in
terest will be repealed. Our bonds sell a 78
at Frankfort, because we can show our Ger
man friends that we have a gold revenue
ef 4100,000,000, all pledged to the payment
of a coin interest of only $130,000,000. If ou
this argument alono the consents to pay 78
cents per dollar for our bonds, and if this
causes our greenbacks to be worth 72, what
would either bonds or greenbacks be worth if,
as proposed by General Butler, all provision
for a gold revenue were repealed, and the Gov
ernment oould get no gold whatever, except
by buyii.g it in the market ? What would he
the nature and extent of tbe "corners" and
the gold gsniVliDg which wonld result if the
brokers of Wall street knew that the Govern
ment must buy gold at tbe rate of half a mil
lion a day in open market, or repudiate its in
terest at the end of six months 1 Whether it
may not bs possible at some future time to
bate a paper currency emi.ely u credit, to
have it irredeemable in gold and yet maintain
a steady v:dne in exchange for other forms of
wealth, is a proposition apparently Utopian,
but upon which, as we have said, we aro not
disposed to dogmatize. We do strong'y be
lieve, however, thut if to-day General Butler's
bill repealing all provl'ious for a gold revenue
from customs, with whioh to meet our annual
interest, were passed, our bonds would tum
ble down to twenty five or thirty cents, gold
would rise to three hundred, the Government
would find it impossible to buy half a million
of gold per day with its new Batler "simili
tudes," and, unless it promptly returned to
its present poBi'.ion, it would have to repu
diate its interest within six months for want
of coin.
General Butler argues in a circle as to the
value of these "fiimilitudes." He says they
will be valuable because they will pay ous
toms as well as taxes and debts; but he for
gets that the value of the customs will de
pend on that of the currency in which they
are paid. He cannot rest the value of his
similitudes on the customs duties and the
value of his customs on his similitudes, with
nothirg for either to rest on. In reality, the
value of the "similitudes" will be only what
they derive from being "legal-tenders;" and
this, as General Batler shows, depends on the
value of the bonds, which in turn depends on
coin interest, which General Butler abolishes,
by abolishing a coin revenue. This lets the
bottom out of his whole plan. General But
ler's currency would fail in soundness, there
fore, even more signally than in uniformity.
General Webb In Brazil His Contro
versy with Admhul Dans.
From the If. Y. Time.
We have recently published in the
Times a very interesting official corres
pondence between General J. Watson Webb,
our Minister in Brazil, and Admiral Davis, in
command of our squadron on that coast. It
seems that, in its official publication under
direotion of the State Department, this cor
respondence has been very materially emas
culatedthe Secretary not deeming himself
authorized, under the call of the Senate, to
publish so severe an arraignment of the action
ef the Navy Department as is contained in the
letters of General Webb.
It will be seen that General Webb deals
with tbe whole question, and with all the par
ties involved, with characteristio frankuess,
independence and impetuosity. Where he has
instiuctions he follows the line ef oonduct
which they mark out, with vigor and fidelity
especially if they seem to him adequate to
the emergency; where he has none he acts all
the same never hesitating to "take the re
sponfciLiility" upon himself.
The whole difficulty, as the publio pretty
well understands, ,retv out of tUe refusal of
tbe Comitauder-in Chief of the Allied armies,
and or tie Brazilian forces, to permit an
Ameiicau waivessi-1 lii,t to puss the blockade
and convey our Minister, Mr. Washburn, to
his destination, the coital of l'aiaguay, and
next to bring him away utter his position hid

b'vun. IWnjr. Iu the "Tribune."
FiomlheN. Y. World,
It is a heinous thing and not to be borne
which tbe 'Jribmie has done iu respect of
Geu;ra.l Oraut. There wy be miuiv uituis of
many men as to the civil oapaolty or the mili
tary merit of General Grant, but there can
be no rational dissent from the proposition
that be is at this present writing a "high per
sonage" in the land. He is the actual Commander-in-Chief
of the Federal foro-a and the
prospective Chief Magistrate of the Republic.
Tbe reduction of the army may have impaired
his importance in the office which he is about
to resign, and the distrust of his radical sup
porters may curtail his influence iu the ofllie
which he Is about to assume. Bat a General
of the Armies muat always be a functionary of
some consequouoe, and a President must
hierarchically represent the collective diguity,
even if an usurping Congress forb;d him
politically to exert the collective foro. of th-)
Republic.
And therefore it is that the Tribune, by sun
dry recent publications concerning this con
spicuous citizen, has made itself guilty of the
ancient and abominable offense of scandulum
maynatum. This ollense consists, according to
the statutes by which it was first defined in
the reigns of Kdward I and Richard II, "in
any wrong, by words or in writiug, dona to
high personages of the land, such as peers,
judges, ministers of the crown, officers iu the
state, and other great publio functionaries, by
the circulation ot scandalous statements, false
news, or horrible messages, by which auy de
bate between them and the Parliament or any
scandal to their persons might ariao." Such
a wrong is scamhtlum matjiialuni. It dilt'ra
from mere promiscuous and maligmtut lying
about private persons in that it ia reduced to
no certain rules and definitions, but it may
be whatever bhall be judged to ha deroga
tory to the high character of tiie person of
whom it was spoken. Au old Nisi Prius
report tells us that, while it wa3 held to be
harmless to say of a common person "he is
no more to be valued than a dog," it was
held to be scanrlalum tnutnatttm to say the
Bame thing of a peer.
In like manner, while it would be harmless
for tbe Tribune to say of a common person
aB, for example, of U. G. before be is raised to
the rnuk of Bnvoy to England that he "lies"
or that be is a "villiau," it would be scan,
wag. to say the same thing of H. G. after he
bad been presented as the American Minister
to her Majesty Queen Victoria. Or for the
Tribune to have said cf Ulysses S. Grant,
tanner in Galena, that bo "didn't know his
own mind," or that bo "went back on his
own words," would have been harmless. But
for the Tribune to say, as it said the other day
of General Graut, "by authority," that he
denied ever bavins utteied "to any human
being" any opinions whatever on public ques
tions and public men, was an open scand-Jun
mugnalum.
Apain: For the Tribune to have said of any
private person as, tor example, of George
Francis Tiaiu that he objected to the treaty
just negotiated betwt ju Uugland aud America,
because the "true tueasuie ot our American
claims against Kugland was the sweeping of
our whole commerce from the seas and the
prolongation of the civil war for a year by
Kuglish sympathy with the Confederates,"
would have been harmless. But for the Tri
bune to say this, as it said this Wtduesday, "by
authority," of General Grant, was also au
open scumlalum magnalum. For though such
words of themselves really may mean no
more when put into the mouth of General
Grant than they would if put into the mouth
of George Francis Train, still such is
the responsible position of General Graut
that tbey commit him to one of two alterna
tives, either of which is a "horrible" thing to
think of. If they are to be supposed to pre
figure the foreign policy of General Grant, the
utterance of them must be interpreted either
as a most uuworthy and artful attempt to
prevent the outgoing administration from
effecting the settlement of an important
question (and this, by exerting an unoansti
tutional and debasing influence upon the
Senate through tbe personal hopes aud fears
of its members in the matter of patronage yet
to be), or as designed to make tbe English
Government recede from the treaty, by put
ting that government, as it were, under a
direct menace from the incoming American
administration.
If, on the other hand, they are to be sup
posed to represent nothing at all but an ebul
lition of personal feeling and temper on the
part of General Urant, then tne utterance oi
them would put him into the odious light of
seeking to persuade tne popular mind that, it
the country would only nave watted until
after his inauguration for the settlement of the
"Alabama claims," the country would have
seen Great Britain compelled to atone for her
misdeeds by the payment to us of tne dille
rence between the value of our foreign com
merce in 18U0 and its value in 18u'5, plus the
whole of the last year's expenses of the war
a sum which, in the aggregate, we need not
say, wonld go a long way towards olearing oil'
the national debt, ur course, uenerai urant
never uttered the language imputed to him
by the Tribvne, But there are many lly-
gobblers in the land, readers of the Tribune,
who will believe that he did utter it, just as
the same persons en the same authority be
lieved that he really did deny the authenticity
of the much more rational and respeotable
observations recited as falling from him on a
variety of topics by a trusty aud intelligent
correspondent of the Wot Id.
And therefore, we repeat, alike by Its
denials and by its affirmations, the Tribune
has committed the crime of scan. mag. against
a "high personage." It has done its worst to
discredit and make him appear ridiculous. If
the perpetrator of these misdeeds will give
himself up, we should recommend his being
let off with a few years In the Dry Tortugas.
If he obstinately bides under Windust's table
or in the crown of U. G.'s hat, then let tbe
whole Tribune staff be arbitrarily arrested by
Superintendent Kennedy, aud subjected to the
peine forte et dure of reading Badeau's "Mill
tay History of General Grant" or Greeley's
"American Conflict" until the guilty person
bhall consent to plead.
Congress Nothing but a Caucns.
Fi-oni"Z!rck" I'omeroy'a If. Y. Democrat.
Under the despotic rale of the radioal ma
jority of Congress, legislation has become
nothing but the partisan action of a political
caucus. Everything is decided upon in a
caucus of radioal members, and then is put
through under the spur of the previous ques
tion," cutting off all debate, almost choking
down all thought about matters of the most
vital importance to the present and future
well-being of our country.
ine inbuilt t Washington correspondent
of Tuesday saye: "A caucus of the Senate
will be held to-morrow morning, for the pur
pose of considering the relative importance of
tne vanous measures before Congress, tul ae
teimining the course of action thereon."
Hear that, people of Amerioa I All the action
of Congress is "determined" iu a purely par
Mean caucus. There is no act of your National
Legislature that deserves auy higher respect
than tne edict oi a caucus. So far as the dig
nity and justice of legislation are oonoeruid,
this caucus might jnst as well be held in the
"Loyal League" pest-bole in this city, aud its
daily action proclaimed to the public in the
columns ot the tribune, as to go through the
expensive farce of doing the business at the
Cupitol in Washington. The eutire legislation
at the Federal capital ia controlled by some
fi'Httn. or twenty radical leaders. Thy cou-
ccot all and shape all, while the rest of the
radical members stupidly acquiesce in their
work, and then the whole is ruched througtt
tbe abominable face of Congross by the om
nipotent previous question. Now we say these
fifteen or twenty leaders might Just as well
meet in pome congenial whisky hole for "de
termining" what shall be law, and then pro
claim tbe same through the radioal press,
thereby favmg the people all the useless ex
pense of Congress. And this course would
also save the Democratic members from the
humiliation of belonging to a so called legis
lative budy, in which they have really no more
Influence or recognized light than they htve
iu the negro Assembly of Hayti.
For example, there are a great number of
vacant, offices, both at home and abroad, aud
President Johnson, with a proper regard for
the publio welfare, has sent to the Senate
nsiiies to fill them. Forthwith the radical
leaders call their caucus, and in secret session
determine not to act upon a single case, there
by leaving this groat number of offices still
vacant nntil Grant has a chance to supply
them from tbe great batch of thieves who
are waiting without to be let into the public
crib.
Recently President Johnson nominated two
of tbe best officers iu the whole army to be
advanced to the poft of briga'lier-generals iu
tho regular army. The radical caucus was
called to "determine" upon these case3, aud
it was decided that tbey should not be con
firmed, for the simple and sole reason that
they fire gentlemen of too much respectability
8':d too much honor to be relied upon to do
whatever infamous aud dirty business the
caucus may please to demand of them.
So gradually both the civil and the military
service aro being weeded of all efficiency and
all respectability, and their place filled with
tbe disreputable tools of the caums.
Our Government is a cau cus, particularly

Ilirre Llatk Crews
from the N. Y. Tribune.
The investigation of tbe Alaska purchase
stems to have nearly reached bottom at last,
and a very pretty little affair it is wheu we
get at the truth. Our readers will remember
that a Captain It. J. Hinton wrote from Wash
ington to tbe Worcester " a story that over
$sU, 000,000 of the price paid for Alaska had
been distributed among newspaper editors,
coneFpocdeiits, lobbyists, and other persons,
for tbe puipose of promoting the sale, and a
list was given of the principal newspapers
cuid to have been bribed. A committee of
Cungrets has been about six weeks looking
into these charges. One journalist after
another was called and examiLed. Noue of
theiu hid received any bribe or been offered
any, bnt several bad "heard" that money
bad been ut-ed. Sl'bere was rumor of a
m:in named Noah who had said that
Mr. Robert J. Wuiker, tbe Czar's "counsel,"
paid him 2000 for services as a newspapsr
correspondent; but Noah, being found,
ptotested that be never bad got a cent
and rever had spoken to Mr. Walker in his
life. The man named Hinton was called, and
confessed that he had no knowledge of the
truth of the statements he bad beeu the first
to publish, and got all Lis information from a
man named Martin, who professed to have a
list of the persons bribed by the Russian Gov
ernment. The man named Martin was exa
mined, and knew nothing at all about the case,
lie referred his questioners to a man named
1'atistro The man named Tasistro was
equally ignorant, but thought Mr. Seward and
General Banks, at all events, must have beon
bribed, because they were both "flush" of
money about that time; and if they did not
get it from Baron Stoeckl, where the mischief
did they get it f So the story of the Russian
bribery seems to amount to this that General
lifttks has bought land and Mr. Seward has
paid off a mortgage. Really we think the
farce has gone far enough.
Several interesting fact3, however, have
been developed in the course of this otherwise
barren investigation. There was the high
principle of Mr. Rebert J. Walker, who would
not touch a $2G,000 fee for lobbying the pur
chase through Congress, unless it came in the
shape of a regular "counsel's fee." There was
the unexampled kindness of the Washington
Chronicle and National InteUigtneer, which
gave up their spaoe to Mr. Walker's articles
on Alaska. There was the gratitude of Mr.
Walker, who hinted that one or both of them
ought to receive some pecuniary recompense
for the damage they must thereby have suf
fered There was the delicacy of the editor of
the Chronicle, who waived his claim to the
$3000 offered in obedienoe to this suggestion
in favor of the publisher. There was the
promptness of Mr. D. C. Forney, who didn't
waive bis claim at all, but took the money,
and we hope has made good use of it. And
finally, tbe investigation has shown us how a
certain class of journalists manufacture
Washington news, and with what extreme
caution it is necessary to read the Worcester
Spy. Upon the whole, the information may
I e worth the trouble it has oost to get it.
