Salt Lake Citt, Aug. 7. llev. Dr. New
man and party have bon received with
marked attention by the Federal generala and
other Gentile residents of this city, and they
created a very favorable impression. Mr.
Newman has held ft correspondence with
Brigham Young, which closed late last eve
ning. Mr. Newman informed Brighaui Young
that he had arrived to debate the Bible doc
trines against polygamy, in accordance with
the challenge he had receivod from Brigham
Yonng. . Young disclaimed ever giving
or knowing anything about any chal
lenge. Mr. Newman expressed disap
pointment after receiving Young's
disclaimer. Mr. Newman accepted an invita
tion to preach this evening in the Methodist
meeting house. Meanwhile, Orson Pratt and
other apostles called and incidentally re
marked that Newman could preach in the
Tabernacle if Orson l'ratt could do the same
in the Metropolitan church at Washington.
Newman made no reply. Afterwards Young
wrote, inviting him to preach ,in the Taber
nacle, but Newman, having made other ar
rangements, declined. It is universally con
sidered that Brigham has backed out, for
Newman would be too much for him. The
following is the correspondence:
MB. NEWMAN TO BRIGHAM TOTJNCf.
"Salt Lake City, Aug. C, 1870. To
Tresident Brigham Young Sir; In accept
ance of your challenge given in your journal,
the Salt Lake Telegraph, of the HA of May
last, to cUbcuss the question, "Does the Bible
sanction polygamy?" I have hereby to inform
you that I am now ready to hold a public de
bate with you, as the head of the Mormon
Church, upon the above question, under
such regulations as
may be agreed upon for
the said discussion,
and 1 suggest for our
mutual convenience
that, either by yourself
or by two gentlemen whom yon shall desig
nate, you may meet two gentlemen whom I
shall Belect for the purpose of making . all
necessary arrangements for the debate with
ns little delay as possible. May I, hope for a
reply at your earliest convenience, and at
least not later than 3 o'clock to-day?
"llespectfully, J. P. Newman."
TOTJNG TO NEWMAN.
"Salt Lake City, Aug. G, 1870. Rev. J.
P. Newman Sir: Yours of even date has
just been received, in answer to whick I
have to inform you that no challenge was
ever given by me to any person through the
columns of the Salt Lake Daily Telegraph,
and that this is the lirst intimation I have
received that any such challenge ever ap
peared. You have been misinformed with
regard to the Salt Lake Daily Telegraph, It
is not my journal, but was owned and edited
by Dr. Fuller, of Chicago, who was not a
member of our Church, and I was not ac
quainted with its columns.
"Kespectfully, Brigham Young."
NEWMAN TO YOUNG.
"Salt Lake City, Aug. (5, 1870. Presi
dent Brigham Young Sir: I confess
my disappointment at the contents of your
note in reply to mine of this date. In the
far East it is impossible to distinguish the
local relations between yourself and those
papers which advocate the interests of your
Church; and when the copy of the Telegraph
containing the article of the 3d May last
reached Washington, the only construction
upon it by my friends was that it was a
challenge to come to your city to discuss
the Bible doctrine of polygamy. I have
chosen to put a different construction upon
that article. To take no further notice of
it, you could then have adopted the
Ttlegraph as. your organ and the
Raid article as a challenge which
I either could not or dared not accent. That
I am justified in this construction is clear
from the following facts: The article in the
Telegraph of May 3 contains these expres
sions: Alluding to my sermon, as reported
in the New York Herald, it says: 'The dis
cussion was a lengthened argument to prove
that the Bible does not sustain polygamy.
The sermon should have been delivered in the
new Tabernacle in this city, with 10,000
Mormons to listen to it, and then Elder Orson
Pratt or some prominent Mormon should have
had a hearing on the other side, and the
people be allowed to decide. Dr. Newman,
by hi3 very sermon, recognizes the reli
gious element of the question. Let us have
a fair contest of peaceful argument, and
let the best side win. We will
publish their notices in the Telegraph and
report their discourses as far as possible, use
every influence in our power, if any is needed,
to secure them the biggest halls and crowded
congregations, and we are satisfied that every
opportunity will be given them to conduct a
campaign. We base this last remark on a
statement made last Sunday week in the
Tabernacle by President George A. Smith,
that the public halls throughout the Terri
tory have been and would be open for clergy,
men of other denominations coming to Utah
to preach. Come on and convert them by
the peaceful influences of the Bible, instead
of using the means now proposed. Convince
them by reason and Scriptural arguments,
and no Cullom bill will be required.
I understand the article containing the
above expressions was written by Elder Sloan,
of the Mormon Church, and at that time
associate editor of the Ttleg rapli, and that he
was and has since been in constant inter
course with yourself. The expressions in the
said article, as above cited,, were the founda
tion of the impression throughout the coun
try that a challenge had thus been given
through the columns of the Telegraph, and
as such I myBelf had no alternative but so to
regard and accept it. I may add that I am
informed that an impression prevailed here
in Utah that a challenge had been given and
accepted. Under this impression I have
acted from that day to this, having myself
both spoken of and. Been allusions to the
anticipated discussion in several prominent
papers of the country. It was not until after my
arrival in your city last evening, in pursuance
of this impression, that I learned the fact
that the same Elder Sloan, in the issue of the
Salt Lake Herald of August 3, attempts, for
the first time, to disabuse the puMio of the
idea so generally prevalent. Still acting ia
good faith and knowing that you had never
denied or recalled the challenge of the 3d of
May, I inform you of my presence in your
city and of the object of my visit here. My
note this morning, with your reply, will serve
to put the matter before the public in its
true light and dispel the impression of every
man in all parts of the country that such a
challenge had been given and that each a
discussion would be held. Following tu,
I have now fully discharged my share uf the
responsibility in the case. It only remains
for me to subscribe myself respect fully,
"J. P. Newman."
TOTJHC TO KEWMAN.
. 'Salt Lake City, Aug. ti, 1870. Rev. Dr.
J. P. Newman Sir: It will be a pleasure to
us if yon will address our congregation to
morrow, the 7th inst., in the smalltabernacle,
at 10 A. M., or, should yon prefer it, in the
new tabernacle, at 2 P. M.. same inst., or
both morning and evening.
"Respectfully, , BHioham Young.
T. S. I hope to hear from you immedi
ately. B. Y."
NEWMAN TO TOUNG.
"Salt Lake City, August 68 P. M.
President Brigham Young : air In reply to
your note, just received, to preach in the
Tabernacle to-morrow, I haveto Bay that,
after disclaiming and declining, as you have
done to-day, the discussions which I came
here to hold, other arrangements to speak in
the city were accepted by me, which will pre
clude my compliance with your invitation.
Respectfully, J. P. Newman."
The Methodists gave Mr. Newman a re
ception last evening.
THE NATHAN MURDER.
IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AT
QUEST THE MURDERERS
THE COBONEIt 8 IN
HEAKD AT THEIR
BLOODY WORK.
In the continuation of the coroner's inquest
on the Nathan murder held in New York
yesterday, the followinc testimony was
elicited:
WASHINGTON m'kENZIE.
I reside at No. 35 E. Nineteenth street ; we
use no such instrument as the "dog," now
shown me ; have visited Mr. Nathan's house
was there on the 21st of July; never saw
that instrument, either in the coach-house or
anywhere ; never said I had seen it in the
coach-house ; never saw it till I saw it at
Police headquarters ; Thilip de Maistre has
been two years in my employ ; he was reoom
mended to me by the Young Men's Christian
Association ; his conduct has been excellent,
as has the other carpenter, Mr. Smith.
Officer Mangam was here again placed on
the stand The "dog" was lying inside the
outside door; I picked it up and handed it to
Mr. Nathan; he handed it back to me, and I
afterwards took it up stairs; I put. it between
Mr. Nathan and the window bo that the
Coroner might see it; can't tell whether it
was the first or the second time I entered the
house; when I came down I think I left the
sons in the room with the body; the second
time, if it was the second time I entered,
Mr. Washington Nation was in the hallway;
the hallway is marble, not carpeted near the
door; the "dog" was lying close by the front
door.
t By Foreman of the Jury I noticed no
carpet in the hall; I repeat that the door was
certainly closed when I passed at a quarter to
six; I was close to the stoop and could not be
mistaken; there was no one on the steps;
might have been a paper on the steps and I
not see it.
DR. WALTER H. TEEKMAN,
Live at the corner of Fifth avenue; there
are twenty feet between the side of my house
and Mr. Nathan's; I sleep on the second floor;
the night of the storm (Thursday), after the
shower, my wife opened the green blinds of
the windows; we had been asleep some time
when my wife called out to me, "Doctor,
there's some one in our house;" I said, "It's
not in our house, but Mr. Nathan's or the
other;" while we were speaking there was
another noise, which she thought was the
shutting of a chamber door; we then heard
THREE DISTINCT SOUNDS,
much lighter than the other; I cannot de
scribe the sounds; I again said it was not in
our house; my wife went into the bathroom
and looked into Mr. Nathan's yard, but it
looked all right; no more was said; about
seven she looked out and said there was some
heavy trouble at Mr. Nathan's; before I got
down stairs some of the girls said Mr. Nathan
had been murdered; I distinctly heard the
first Bound, as well as my wife; I should
think it was between two and half-past; did
look at the time ;'he first sound did not
seem line tne tailing ot a Dody;
canrJot hear feet with the shoes off
either on my stairs or Mr. Nathan's, which
were just like mine; when I entered the
chamber and saw the body, I looked f jt any
thing to account for the first sound; there
was a small table in its place; there was a
chair with back to the door; I was told since
that a leg of that chair, if it were struck by
an instrument, might account for the first
sound; the blows on the Bkull might account
for the later ones: when my wife got up first
the streets were quiet, no carriages or omni
buses were running; in the left hand corner
of the large wall there was blood two feet
high; I mean the south side, farthest from the
front where the body lay; the marks on the
wall were like the impress of a bloody arm;
my wife thinks she remained ten minutes at
the windows; I don't think it was bo long;
she might not have seen any one leaving Mr.
Nathan's, and a man might have left without
being heard; the chain en my door was like
Mr. Nathan's; there is very little noise in
opening the door; I think Mr. Nathan's
door might have been unfastened, and the
assassin had got out without being heard;
Mr. Nathan was very near-sighted; I never
saw him without glasses; he would not be
likely to recognize the face of any one in his
chamber without glasses, and in a dim
even with them.
light
By Juryman Russell I believe the first
blow brought him down on his hands and
knees. '
By the Foreman If the murderer had
walked our way to Fifth avenue, in my belief
we must have nearl mm, but line went to ward s
Sixth avenue we should not; on whichever
side of the street the person walked, if to
wards Fifth avenue I think we should have
heard it, but not necessarily his going down
the steps.
Prince Chablie's Target. The Edinburgh
Courant tells a circumstantial story about a
Highland target which has just been sent
home from New Zealand, and which, "on un
impeachable evidence," of course, ia stated
to have been the buckler worn by the ill
fated Prince Charles at the battle of Calloden
lhe story is sumciently romantic: "Secre
tary Murray, the constant atteuduut of the
Prince, noticing that the target bad fallen
into the midst of a whin thicket, marked the
spot, and under cover of night returned ua
observed, when he succeeded iu securing the
precious relio." Unfortunately for the possi
bility or this, Murray wan Hi wnen Culloden
as fought; and while its issue was yet in
doubt, he was carried on a litter
to Fovers, in Louhness-side, and after
wards removed to Ulenuiorriston. Ttie defeat
had been over for days, and Cumberland's
butcheries were in full blast before Murray
knew that the cause was lost and that bin
master was a fugitive. Dr. Archibald Came
ron br ke the evil tidings to him while he
was slowly recovering in Glenmorrtstoa
House. We have all . tlds set down iu a MS.
narrative in Murray's own handwriting; so
that the pretty story about the target is un
tenable. But apart from this, Murray of
Broughton, was too much of a coward to run
the rihk of any such piece of Quixotry. The
abject wrtti'h who turned king s evidence and
gave Government the information that en
abled it to send Lovatt to the block and
others to the halter, was not likely to return
among the midst of Cumberland's red-handed
soldiery on the chance of finding a disoarded
buckler in a whin bush. That the shield
which Mr. Wilson is said to have sent home
from Taranaki may be a relio of Culloden, and
not a souvenir of the Maoris, ia probable
enough; but there is no scarcity of such
relics in the north of Scotland.
Mrs. Margaret Burns, a centenarian, the
oldest woman in Pennsylvania, died a few days
since in Pittsburg, having retained full posses
sion of her faculties to the last.
