MK. IIAYKS AMI MIS I'AIITY.
Tlic llepiiblicntisof Iowa and Xew Hamp
shire have held Stale Convention, but tho
proceedings of those bodies are not of a na
ture to airurd any particular gratification to
H. II. Hayes on tlie contrary, quite the re
verse. Iowa Is the banner Stale of tho lie
publicans, giving majorities of 00,000 anil
upward for the candidate of that party and
Its fealty has never been disputed. Yet in
the recent Convention a resolution appro
ving tho course of Mr. llaye was igtiominl
ously tabled, and that too in such a manner
a to leave no doubts as to tho feeling of tho
delegate. The same day tho Xew Hampshlro
Kcpublicans treated a similar resolution in
ii very similar manner. They did not reject
it but referred it to tho Committee on Xa
tional All'ilrs, where It will rest perina
nently.
These bold expressions of want of confi
dence in Mr. Hayes bodes ill for the success
of the party in the coming election. If in
such strongholds of Republicanism as Iowa
disaffection prevail, it is more than proba
ble that it exists in other places with more
or less force. It is more than probable that
Ohio will be lost to Mr. Hayes in October
and that Pennsylvania will follow tho same
course. It is an open secret that tho Camer
on faction In this State is anything but ac
tive in its efforts to sustain Mr. Hnyes and
the recent squabbles over federal ollices has
not tended to allay the disquietude.
Mr. Hnyes must derive a very small
nmount of comfort indeed in looking over
the field, and will probably bo convinced
that tho machino politicians, by whose aid he
was put into tho white Houe, aro after all
necessary to his support. In fact these men
and tho olllce holders aro the only ones to
whom ho lias any rig'ht to look for aid and
comfort. His recent order has tied the hands
of the latter and it will be highly interesting
to watch the progress of political events.
TIJTTU.N.
Collector Tutlon, of Philadelphia, seems
to be an ins of unusual and surprising size,
even lor a Republican federal office-holder,
aud gifted with an obstinacy and stupidity
not altogether to be expected even in one of
his dimensions. Tuttou is apparently per
meated and pervaded by the conviction that
the Collector of the port of Philadelphia is
an absolute and uncontrollable despot whose
word is law and whose will is not to be
thwarted by any one or under any circum
stances. To such an extent did Tutton be
lieve in this doctrine of omnipotence that,
regardless of the Secretary of the Treasury,
he proceeded to remove Assistant Collector
Arnold, of Chester, and to put in his place,
a man of his own. Quite oblivious of a sug
gestion from Secretary Sherman, that it
would bo well to pause in his wild career,
Tutton attempted to oust Arnold and induct
the other fellow. Suddenly to Tutton's im
mense disgust there came a despatch from
Secretary Sherman to the clfect that Tutton
was not Secretary of the Treasury, but that
be, Sherman, was ; that Tutton would do
well to mind his own business ; and that
Arnold was Assistant Collector at Chester
and would remain so. And now Tutton,hav
ing been set down hard enough to loosen his
teeth, ha9 probably changed his views re
garding his own importance. If there is
any such thing as reform about the civil ser
vice a very good place for its application
would be in the Collector's office at Phila
delphia. Tutton is a machine politician,
placed in office for political services and
those, too, of a not particularly savory de
scription and is a capital fellow to kick out
in the interests of reform. He is very much
too much of a fool for his present place,
that's evident, and, if the Administration
must employ him' a foreign mission would
suit. This country is used to being repre
sented abroad by men of about the common
sense calibre of Tutton.

bent tho following delightful little despatch
to Grant, in England:

Commander-in-Chief, G. A. R.
Although Gov. Hartrauft's name was
signed to this charming bit of Fiiobbish stu
pidity, wo doubted from the first whether ho
was responsible for it. Since then it has
leaked out that Comrade Tanner is the indi
vidual entitled to all tho credit theie is con

Hartranft's sake wo rejoico at this piece of
information ; ho has preserved tho respect of
all ol his fellow citizens by a prompt disavow
al of authorship. Tanner ought to have some
thing done for him immediately. Such abili
ties as his should not be allowed to run to
wasto in this democratic country. He should
bo sent abroad ; sent whero ho can bo near
Pierrcpont if possible, and glow with retlett-
ed light from that great diplomat. Tauner
would just suit Pierrcpont and PierrepoHt
is a man after Tauner's own heart. There is
an originality about Tanner all his own. Xo
one but a Tanner would ever liavo struck such
a vein, at ouco so unique and so snobbish.

fling omission when contemplating tho stu

the despatch. Tanner must read up a little
on tho subject of palaces "Birmingham" not
being the exact one ho meant. It wasn't far
out of tho way,"IIrummagem" is tho style of
his despatch aud ho might havo thought so
himself whilst preparing it. At the next

TIIAMPS.
Tho outrages committed by vagrants aro
becoming more frequent and moro serious.
The minor olTences of pilfering and robbery
have been supplemented by the crimes of
murder. 'ape and arson, and prompt and
measures must be adopted In prevent
tho continuance of Iheso atrocities. If tho
officers of the law aro powerless to arrest
and punish offenders tho day Is not far dis
tant when tho pcoplo will, in self defenso,
take tho law into their own hands and mcto
out stern justice to these vlllnins. Vigilance
committees, though uot to bo encouraged,
have at different periods In tho history of
this country, certainly put down criminals
with a strong hand, aud, for tho timo at
least, effectually suppressed outrages. Lynch
law Is a savage remedy at tho best, but It is
an open question whether its administration
at times is not justified by the condition, of
nlfalrs. In districts whero dwellings are
isolated and where tramps aro to a certain
degree free from that Immcdlato arrest and
punishment they would bo certain to receive
for their crimes in more populous place, tho
residents are tho greatest suflerers. Justices
of tho peace and constables do not move
wilh tho celerity of their city brothers and
the traveling ruffians, fully aware of this,
commit their shamtfnl deeds nnd too fre
quently make good their escape. Assuredly
if the tho legal authorities do not take steps
at once to protect tho people, thero will be
impromptu courts and speedy hangings
without aid from tho Sheriff. While the of
fences went no further than robbery the
law abiding citizens were fain to submit, but
when emboldened by immunity from pun
ishment, these .outlaws imbruo their
hands in blood, destroy valuablo property
and outrago women, forbearance ceases to be
a virtue. This tramp question has becomo
the most serious of our social problems nnd
it has now reached a point where tho law
must assist itself or bo overwhelmed by the
torrent of popular indignation and wrath.
Tho day is fast approaching when tho tramp
will bo the hunted and not tho hunter.
Tho toady Press prints this .-
It is the delibcrateropinion'of the London
Times that, "After Washington, General
Grant is tho President who will occupytho
largest place in the history of the United
States." The distinction between the two is
put thus: "Tho founder of the Atnericau
Republic was before all things a statesman ;
hi.s successor is before all things a soldier."
Tho Republicans have had two legally
elected Presidents, and one fraudulently
counted in. For a while Lincoln was a sec
oud Washington, but ho was aftcrnaids
dubbed a "saint," and Grant becomes the
"second V." It only remains for Forney
to mako Hayes an angel, and we have no
doubt ho is one, of tho fraudulent kind ;
counted in, you know I
The truculent iVfiyn laudation of Hayes,
follows this up by saying : "In its efforts to
reduce governmental expenditures the Nn
tional Administration has already perfected
a number of notable changes. On Iho -1th
of March, 1877, there wore 3,000 employees
in the Treasury Department at Washington,
One-third of this number bavo already been
discharged without detriment to the public
service. A reduction of $51,000 per annum
has been made in the rent paid for buildings
used by the department. A particular ser
vice in the engraving-room, for which $9,000
per year was formerly paid, is now perform
ed for $2,500. Political influence has ceased
to he a potent power in all the departments,
and they are all conducted on strict business
principles. In the Pension Bureau tho re
forms have been specially numerous and
mportant. Eleven divisions havo been re
duced to six, thirty per ceut of the former
employees have been discharged, and by the
sweeping reduction of tho number ol pension
agents employed in various portions of the
country, from 5S to 18, an annual saving of
140,000 in this single outlay has been ef
fected. Other changes have been suggested,
eluding tho abolition of voucher fees,
hich would make still further reductions,
and they will probably be enforced if they
are approved by Congress."
It ignores the fact that these reductions ol
expenses wero made by a Democratic House.

HONEST MR. HAYES.
A correspondent of the Xew York Sun
says that "It was an open secret at Wash
Ington last winter that two certificates of
deposit, five thousand dollars each (fS.OOO,;
payable to .ach Chandler, and by him en
dorsed, and made payable to R. U. Hayes,
and endorsed by R. B. Hayes and paid, were
In existence." the correspondent asks, "Is
It not the first time in the political history of
this country mat any candidate for tho Pres
idency was ever the recipient of money from
tho campaign fundi"
We fancy it is. Such a charge was never
laid at the door of U. S, Grant, than whom
no man in public life ever evinced a more
utter contempt for public opinion, law, or
tho proprieties of life. Mr. Hayes is In
more particulars than one, an unimio sped
men. His whole administration is founded
on hypocrisy and canting professions of
reform which is broken to fragments beforo
the words have fallen on the ears of the peo
pie. Ho is one of the "goody'' kind of men
and we have no doubt if those two $5000
certificates of deposit were to be investigated
he would prove to the satisfaction of his
admirers that they conduced to the well be
ing and existence of some Sunday School
organization. So "good" a man as he would
never have used money for naughty politics.

IIIIW WAS CIIIIIST CIlUfJlr'lED?
A San Francisco correspondent of tho
Baltlmoro Sun writes as follows to that pa
per: "An admirable picture of tho cruci
fixion on Calvary has been exhibited for
criticism nnd correction beforo faking It
abroad. It Is full sire. The cross differs
finm all rxlant pictures. In height It is but
llttln taller than n man. Midway is n pro
jecting saddle, upon which tho person sits
nstrule. Ineneus, Justin and Tertulllau so
describe it. Modern artist havo omitted
this, but it is obvious that the outstretched
arms could not maintain, nor could the nail
ed hands havo supported, tho body as usual
ly represented. All historians say tho legs
wero tied to tho cross, and afterward spike
wtro driven through tho feet, as through tho
hands. Thero is no mention of a foot rest,
hut tho artist has supplied one, becauso tho
feet cannot bo spiked without. The inscrip
tion on tho cross, affixed to tho top, i pur
posely nnd ingeniously illegible, because
each of four gospel gives It differently.
There being no record of personal appear
ance, every one Is at liberty to draw on his
imagination. Hero tho artist exhibits con
summate skill. A more spiritual counte
nance wo never saw, Tho head is reclined,
as expiring. Tho hair is auburn, long, nnd
n ringlets. The person is spare and of
short stature. At the foot of the cross aro
only tho executioners of tho law. Xo ono
is represented as piercing tho side with n
spear. Xor aro there any connections, ns
Mary and John, present, this being a direct
contradiction of tho three synoptic gospels.
It is usual to show blood flowing from
tho wounds in the hands and feet. This
is omitted, becauso history tells us that
wrought Iron, being our best styptic,
instantly stops tho flow of blood. It is
popularly supposed that tho jieaciifice
consisted in the shedding of blood. Paul
makes this indispensable. Yet it is a mis
take. A slight cut on a schoolboy's finger
sheds moro blood. Death results from ex
haustion, not from bleeding.
There aro several marginal pictures illus
trating various miracles and other scriptural
stories. Perhaps tho most striking, and cer
tainly tho most artistic, represents Jesus es
corted to the placo of execution by a lowly
multitude exulting in His fate. Tho central
figure is clothed in scarlet, according to Mat
thew, in preference to purple, which Mark
and John say was the color. And the man
of Nazareth walks majestically as to a vol
untary sacrifice. It is usual, and almost in
dispensable to public taste, to show him
bearing His cross and bowed down beneath
the burden, according to John, lint the ar
tist, following the three synoptic gospels,
which deny John's story, shows Simon car
rying the cross, a stout plebeian, who walks
upright with it. The artist considers it one
great merit of his painting over others, that
it is truo to history, according to tho plain
est and most consistent non-sectarian inter
pretation. The Milk in the Cocoamit.
Washington, Juno 30. It has been
known that the recent order of the President
forbidding Federal officers from participating
in political conventions or taking anactivo in
terest in politics received tho approval of all
the members of tho Cabinet. Some members,
notably Mr. Sherman, maintain that tho Pre
sident has no idea of adopting a policy which
would exclude those persons from Federal ap
pointments who make themselves efficient as
political workers.
In reply to a question by your correspond
ent whether tho President's order would not
result in thoroughly disorganizing the politi
cal machinery in the several States, Secretary
Sherman said very decidedly that it would
not ; that the order would have a beneficial
ffect, in that it would force out of politics an
objectionable set of Federal officers, who have
been manipulating tho elections lor their own
personal interest, and would attract a new ele
ment to political organizations standing near
er to tho people. Tho new men who take
hold to manage tho party interests will work
harder and more efficiently, becauso they will,
e said, bo stimulated by n hopo of reward
for their services, and, added the Secretary,
'the outs aro always stronger than tho ins."
Mr. Sherman approves tho President's order
because ho regards it as displacing inefficient
political workers and substituting a class of
men who will go into politics solely for the
reward they expect to receive for their politi
cal shrewdness. This is the drift of his con
vernation with many persons, and also tho in-
ferenco to bo drawn from his recent appoint
ments in the Treasury Department. A. J

Hayes as u Personal fraud.
If the opposition to Mr. Hayes increases
in the time between now and the next Con
gress as it has here in tho last week, ho will
have no personal backing except from those
who desire his favor. Ho has gotten out
wi.th the extreme radical wing of his party,
and has mado this separation certain by his
recent order directed to Federal officials.
This is evident by tho way that the people
talk at this headquarters of Federal official
life. This loss would not count for so much
wero not Mr. Hayes losing every day tho
support of abetter class by his outrageous
violations of his own civil service protesta
tions. 1 fioie who were his most earnest
supporters when ho promised to reform tho
civil service are now against him, sinco
most of his lato appointments are on a par,

Hitherto it was generally understood that

the purpose of insisting upon the recognition
of their race in the distribution of the Fed
eral appointments, Their complaint is not
that the claims of the colored people
eflice have failed of respect, but that the ap
polntments have all been of mulattos, and
that, consequently, black men have had

To The Editor or Tun Sun Mr t In
letter addressed to The Sun of tho 15th
inst., by Joseph L. Topham, Usq., I find tho
following statement !
Mr. Buchanan took ground that tho Slate
had no right to secede from tho Union, and
nlso tho counter ground that tho l'Vdeial
Government had no constitutional power to
coerce them to remain in tho Union.
Fulling to mako further explanation of
Mr. Buchanan's views, which was necessary
n order to do tho deceased statesman full
stice, Mr. Topham leaves the Inference to
bo drawn that Mr. Buchanan believed that
ero was no way by which tho Union could
bo preserved In tho event of an attempted
secession by tho pcoplo of a State, but that
must bo destroyed, for want of constitu-
onal 'power to preserve it.
For nearly twenty J ears it lias been charg-
1 upon Mr. Buchanan, by his political cue-
ies, that if nn attempt wero mado by the
eoplo of a State to leave tho Union, there
as no constitutional power to cocrco them
to remain in tho Union and therefore ho
ould not permit tho Union to be disolvod
Ithout an effort to prevent it.
It is qulto truo that this calumny upon
Mr. Buchanan was repelled, nnd justice
dono to his memory. Mr. Buchanan never
held to the doctrino that, if tho people of a
State should attempt to withdraw from tho
Union, thero was no constitutional pow-
to compel them to remain In the
Union, llu held just the reverse. He held
iat a Stato,as apolitical organization, could
not secede from tho Union, but always re
mained in it, whatever its people might do j
that the Union is perpetual and supreme in
tho sphere of the powers delegated to It by
tho Constitution ; that it had nothing to do
with the political organizations called the
States, but it had power over the people of
tho States, and could compel them to obedi
ence to the laws of the Union, by force if
necessary.
This doctrino would retain the States per
petually in the Union, and if their pcoplo
hould rebel, or resist the laws of tho Union
it could conquer them and reduco them to
obedience. Aud when that was done, it re
sulted, as a matter of course, that their poli
tical relations to the Union would be at once
restored, tho States to which they belonged
never having been out of the Union.
This was Mr. Buchanan's doctrine. It is
the sound nnd true, and, I will add, the wiso
ind patriotic doctrine. If it had been re
cognized ns tine, tho fallacious nnd mis
chievous doctrino of State suicide nnd re-
onstruetion, nod all tho cost and trouble to
tho Federal Government, and suffering to
the people of tho South it has occasioned,
would have been avoided.
A doctrine which holds that the Union by
the constitutional compact is perpetual, is
forever intact, and cannot be dissolved ; and
that tho peoplo of the States in rebellion,
insurrection, or resistance to tho laws of the
Union, may bo conquered and coerced by
force into obedienco to tho Union ; and that
tho moment they cease their resistance to
tho Union and become obedient aud peace
able citizens, their political relations to tho
Union aro precisely tho samo as beforo their
resistance to iU supremacy, cannot be re
garded as an unconstitutional, nor an unsafe
doctrine.
Mr. Buchanan was not alone in the open
promulgation of this doctrine. It was also
held and advocated in the United States
Senate by ex-President Johnson.
The facts above stated can be unequivocally
established if disputed.
It will bo seen that tho real doctrines of
Mr. Buchanan would forever presserve the
Union as it was made by tho fathers, and as
it is. And they can bo objected to only by
those who would attempt to prevent tho
Union, or revolutionize it in its essential
character and power by the unconstitutional
and dangerous doctrine of State suicide and
reconstruction. Edmund Burke,
Nkwi'Okt, X. II., June 18, 1877.
Mr. Hayes has been down East, iu "Bos
ting and in Rhode Island, and the people
have made much of him. Rhode Island, the
most hide bound and intolerant of all tho
States, is just the spot where his Fraudulen
cy might expect homage. Massachusetts
did net enthuse quite.so much, probably be
causo Mr. Charles Francis Adams' bitter
words concerning Mr. Hayes aro still fresh
in the minds of the people. Mr. Prince, tho
Mayor of the city and also chairman of the
Democratic Committee, fell over his chin in
intense anxiety to toady to Mr. Hayes.
Prince had better take a back seat in Demo
cratic councils after this, and the chairman
ship he now holds should be declared vacant
at once.
George Boutwell, "the Groton grocer," is
a resident of Massachusetts, and presumably
has admirers, as ho was asked to deliver a
speech on Decoration Day, and did so, but

expression of intense admiration for Mr,
Hayes or his policy. Which of tho two
frauds do the Boston people prefer Bout

In various parts of this Stato thero seem

hended. One of these marauders, Benton
Mitchell, was shot and killed by a farmer
named Cranston, living near Hackettstown

A Washington correspondent of the Xew
Orleans Democrat, whose communication is
pparently inspired from the Secretary of
State's office, comments at lengtli upon a re
port recently published in the Sun respecting
the contemplated annexation of tho X'orth
Mexican States. He says:
'Tho Government desires the reestablish
ment of tho Lerdo Administration, and will
not negotiate with Diaz for any purpose. Hut
tho authorities hero are as yet undecided
whether it wou d advance Lerdo s interests to
extend to him anything more tangible than
moral support, meanwhile, however, vigorous

In plain language, Hayes Government
means to take measures which Diaz must re

be invaded.
Preparations to Ilcscno l'at Hester.
Special Dispatch to "The Times."
Pottsvii.ix. June 20. On Sunday nieht
a meeting of Mollie Maguircs was held in
the tavern of Dooley, a son-in-law of Pat
Hester, at Jianauoy nane. louu speeches
wero made, aud at the conclusion of tho
meeting thirty men filed out of tho room.
It is supposed Pat Hester, who is to bo hung
nt Bloomsburg August fi,is to bo rescued un
less precautionary measures aro at onco ad
opted. As a rule tho Philadelphia Times is not give n
to sensation, nor is it necessary that it should
bo to ensure it circulation. Tho abovo dis
patch is utterly untrue, and tho Times well
knew that a writ of error had been taken to
tho Supremo Court in tho Hester case, and
that ho is not to bo hanged August Jitli.
nor was he even sentenced to bo hanged at
that date.
It is the mission of a certain class of news
papers to get up all the blood-aud-thunder
yarns they can ; nnd tho recent accounts of
Mollie Maguiro outrages, which havo sinco
proven to bo untrue, show how reckless such
publications are.
A Washington telegram to the Baltimore
Gazette charges that Secretary Sherman is
using the influence ot bis high office to make
money in real estato speculations. He
purchased a block of land somo timo ago,
and has caused the District Commissioners
to mako somo Improvements which havo in
creased tho valuo of the possession very
much. This is one of tho methods which
Boss Shepherd so successfully practiced to
put money in his purso.
Sherman is the man whose most notewor
thy action, according to Wendell Phillips,
was entering the United States Senate poor
and coming out rich.
John Sherman, Hayes' Secretary of the
Treasury, is following the example of Boss
Shepherd by makirg an extensive purchase
of real estato in Washington, and the Dis
trlct Commissioners are increasing the val
ue of the land by improvements. If Sherman
knew that these improvements wero to be
made, and failed to mention the fact to tho
party from whom ho bought the property,
he was guilty of sharp practice. If as is
asserted, he first bought tho land, and thon
Induced the District Commissioners to cm
banco its valuo at publlcexpensedio is guilty
of using tho influence of his position as
Secretary of the Treasury for his personal
aggrandizemont. But John Sherman wQl

luiportnnt Land Derision.
Tho Cameron iVcwsays that in 1801, W,
J. Robinson and J. It. Clark had n contro
versy about tho tltlo to two tracts of unseat
ed land In Shipped township, and tbo name
wero sold nt treasurer's sain In 1 SO I and bid
nil' by Robinson. From this salo Clark re-
leenied In 18(10, paid Iho redemption money
nml the amount of taxes that had been paid
by Robinson for 1804 and 1805, to tho coun
ty treasurer. In 187-1 tho parlies settled
their claims and Clark was authorized to re
ceive tho redemption money. After n de
mand, nnd refusal on tho part of tho county
to pay, this stilt wa commenced. Tho
county claimed that it was not linblo, for
tho reasons that this redemption money had
never been audited and the commissioners
had therefore no control over it, nlso becauso
tho claim wa barred by tho statute of limit
ations. Judgo Wilson held, when tho enso
wa tried beforo him at January term last,
that the statute of limitation wa a good de-
fenco and directed tho jury to find for tho
defendant. Upon a writ of error taken by
plaintiff tho case was argued in tho Supremo
Court on Monday last and tho judgment of
tho court below afhrmed. This decision
saves tho county of Cameron about ono thou
sand dollars.
The Xext Consress .
A copy has been mado of tho pay certifi
cates for tho Forty-fifth Congress, as fur
nished by Clerk Adams to Scrgcant-at-Arms
Thompson, and constituting his vouchers in
account with tho United States Treasury,
and given to some Republican papers ns the
roll of the next House mado out by Adams.
Tho list shows a Democratic majority of six
teen, with seven members to hear from. Xo
further changes have been made, and none
will bo until tho timo comes for making up
tho roll. What that will bo no ono yet
knows. In tho Colorado case the law is all
against Belford, and Patterson's title to tho
seat turns on tho construction of nn enabling
act. The Supreme Court of California lias
given Pachcro, Republican, tbo seat in the
Fourth District of that State, and Wiggin
ton has appealed. Tho contest in the courts
over the Third District in Missouri is in
much the same shape. The record of Flori
da, and tho Fourth nnd Sixth Districts of
Louisiana are covered by conflicting certifi
catcs from tho rival Governors. Adams will
probably follow the example set by Hifycs
in this matter, anil recognize Xicholls nn
tho Democratic Congressmen.
What a deplorable fortune has that b ecu of
the confiding, but deluded colored peoplo who
put their faith and their money in the hrred
man's Saving's Iiank 1 After years of waiting
they are told that ten per cent, ot tho as
sets" have been realized, but that tho expenses
of distributing it will, in somo instances,
amount to moro than tho dividend, and so
they must wait a littlo longer for that wretch
ed apology for tho good time which has al
ready been so long coming. They are in tho
situation of the far off heathen, for whom
some money was being collectod inGroat Brit-
am, when a benevolent man stepped up and,
laying down a guinea (twenty-one shilling)
he said he wanted to send a shilling to the
heathen, and ho left tho twenty shillings to
pay the expenses of getting it to them. Of
all tho cruel swindles ever practiced upon poor
people through rascally savings-banks this
upon the ignorant freedmen, witli their little
savings, was tho crudest and tho meanest
Xo reflection is intended by this upon the
present managers of tho concern, for they aro
doubtless making the best of a bad business,
Phila. Ledger.
A Salt Lake correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune shows the falsity of tho reports rc
specting tho military strength of tho Mor
mons. Instead of the Mormons being able
to show -10,000 well-armed fighters, it is
doubtful if oven half tho number of able
bodied men could bo mustered in Utah to
day for any military purpose. The popula
tion of Utah, by tho census of 1870, was
S7,000, of whom tho full normal proportion
wero women and children. J. he increase
has certainly not been more than fifty pe
cent, within tho past seven years, and at
that rate tho population would now bo 130,
000. Tho littlo principality of Montenegro
has 200,000 inhabitants, and its fighting
force all men between 17 and 50 years of
age is 21,OOU. The samo proportion ol
about one to eight would givp Utali about
10,000 fighting men, of whom at least one
fourth would never fight iu tho Mormon
ranks.

pains or expense has been spared in tho jiro-

The Patriot says " Grangerism is said to bo
on the decline in different sections of the
State. Tho rise and spread of tho "Patrons
of Husbandry" was really wonderful. In a
very short timo thousands of granges wero
organized throughout the Union, and tho
membership aggregated hundreds of thou
sands. It was a ixjwer in tho northwest,
where it carried all beforo it. Candidates for
offico wero swept along with the tide, and
even governors connived at questionable legis
lation to gain its influence. All this is over.
Starting out as an organization entirely freed
from politics, it was nevertheless cajiturcd by
the politicians ; in fact, too much politics did
the work, and tho grange is only another in
stance of an untimely death at tho hands of
tho politicians."
1 'Kiss me, George," tlio saidi and chain
cd to tho rest of tho gang as ho was, Georgo
managed to kiss tho girl. 1 ho other prison
crs looked on iu envy, and tho sheriff looked
ou indulgently. Hut how much moro the
prisoners would havo envied that kiss, and
how sternly would tho officers have prohibited
it, had cither known that between thoso coral
lips there was a small key, lifting tho steel
bracelets on George's wrists. Precisely how
he put to practical uso that farewell kiss is
not known, but ho did unlock his bonds,
aud, although tho train was going at a very
rapid rate, conveying him from Springfield,
111., to tho State prison, ho bounded through
a window aud escaped.

Death of a Centenarian.
The funeral of Joseph Mishow, who died
Friday night, took place Sunday afternoon,
and wa largely attended. The deceased had
reached the extraordinary ago of 103 years,
3 months and 23 days, and at tho time o
his death was, without doubt, the oldest man
in northern Pennsylvania, if not in the
stato. Ho was of French origin, and was
born in tbovillago of Madawaska, now era
braced in the stato of Maine, in March, 1771
where he resided for a period of ninety-one
years. Mr. Mishow was married in 1791
and his wife died in 1801, after they had
lived together for seventy years. In 1875
ho removed to Willlamsport. Ho was tho
father of fifteen children, only four of whom
attained to manhood. Thu oungest of the
family died in that city about two years i
aced fifty years. Tho oldest of the three
survivors is about seventy seven years o
age, and they all reside in one of the west

One of the most significant papers brought
to light by the Herald's Mormon campaign
has been found by investigating the record
of Brigham Young ns an Indian agent
Among tho accounts appears a voucher for
goods distributed to tbo Indians September
30. 1857, at Mountain Meadows, The mas
sacre at the placo where these goods wero
sworn to bo delivered was only fourteen
days before, and this placo was three bun
dred and twenty miles from Salt Lake City,
Among tbo items aro a remarkablo number
of coats, pantaloons, bats, shirts, leggings,
blankets nnd tobacco, exactly the sort of
goods which would form part of an emi
grant's outfit. Tho total valuo represented
by this voucher is $3,500, and it is the larg
est of all tho 144 turned in by Brigham
Young, tho nverago of all the others being
only $200. Jlore than this, the certificate
of witnesses to tho delivery of tho goods is
Biguod by John 1). Lee. This is certainly
strong circumstantial evidence that these
are the goods taken frsm the murdered emi
grants, and important developments may be
looked for if John V. Lee has told District
Attorney Howard about tbo affair, Phila,
Cassius M. Clay, In a letter to tho Chica
go Tribune, on tho Eastern Question, sayB :
"Spread out tho map of the world, and the
color which marks the British Islands marks
the strong posts for military operations of
all the earth. She subjects men and nations
not as civilizers but as plunderers. She
meditates the supremacy of the world j and
if the world is weak enough to bo deluded
by her pretenses of philanthropy, Bhe will
achieve ft. Now for hundreds of years she
has been the backer of the brigand Turk,
who holds it the highest merit to despise
and crush tho Christian, body and soul ; and -yet
she has her Christian Illblo and mission
ary societies. So far as America is concern
ed, wo havo but ono rival on earth, and that
is England, Shall we bo fools enough to
play into her hands? In our hard fight fr
national life wo had but ono efficient friend
iu Europe, and that was Russia, To go
against her now, in moral or physical aid,
weuld be tbo most unheard of ingratitude."
It is stated that all the advices thus far
received by the Interior Department from
Idaho indicate that tho Indian hostilities
wero preconcerted, and without the provoca
tion of murder or outrages by white men. j
