for such a cause as that which impelled the
Administration to send the army forward,
however necessary, would have been an inef
faceable stain upon our escutcheon. All ho

The formal entrance into Salt Lake City of

duce a collision between the army and the
Mormons are at an end. Governor Centsfum
may 'not be able to induce this extraordinary
people, flying at last accounts before the ad
vance of our soldiers,'to return and to re-occu
py tbeirhomes. It play be for the best that they
should seek other scones, inasmuch as it is
clear that they cannot live in contact with those
who do not sympathise in their rites, or pros'
per under laws administered by any but them
selves. Let us hope, at all events, that what
ever their destiny. - may. be, they will learn to
conform to the usages of the civilization
among which they may locate. If they con
tinue to fail in this, there is but one road left
them ; and that is, to seek out some distant
Island of the sea, where they may test the
doubtful experiment upon . which they have
entered, .and worship. In unenvied isolation,
their unchristian and revolting creed.
POOR. DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
On Friday evening, the steamship Ariel,
passing Cape Race, was boarded by the A. P.
News yacht. Her news, telegraphed from St.
Johns, Is to the 16th, or four days' later.
There is no further intelligence respecting the
Atlantic Cable. We already knew that the
Telegraph Fleet left England on the 10th inst.
The screw-steamer New" York, for New York,
has teen wrecked MY the Scottish coast with
out loss of life.
The Farts Mbniteur has an official denial of
the rumors that France was Making extraordi
nary war preparations:--we believe the fact
to be that she is strengthening and extending
her principal coast defences. The British
Government still declare their belief in NA
POLEON'S pacific declarations.
Whatever PoWer the Emperor NAPotcos
may quarrel with., it will scarcely be Russia.
A proof of the good understanding between
the,Russlin and French Emperors is supplied
by the fact of ALEXANDICR'S having invited
the French Ambassador to accompany him on
a tour to the Southern Provinces of Russia.
The Ministerial changes in France are worth
notice. So is the spirited conduct of Geneva
in the matter of the refugees.
From China there is a rumor, which In probe
bly:trile, that the Emperor's fotces had re
captured Nankin, and that they wore about
burning all the European houses on the Bonen
side of the river.'

NEW JERSEY POLITICS
Our immediate neighbor, New Jersey, is
being conaiderablypshirbed in advance of the
October 4etiois. % ..Tlici`rival parties are pre
:43lok strilo,lo;„with much industry,
and sonitstrangaddielopnients are 'already
4 0 6 * Thit ' which gives so mush intorest to
iliii'laetthat members of Con;
grass and a State Legislature, which - is to
elect a United States- Senator, are to be
chosen. The presents Senator, Hon. Wu:
WRIGHT,LIAaI is a candidate • for; re-elec.
tion. He voted steadily and pertinaciously
for Lecompton in the last session; and we
haVa no doubt that, at' any fair electiOn,'lce
would be defeated in every county in pe State
on that issue. Our .Washington correspon
dent, :It Occaliional," lifts the curtain upon a
curious scene, and intimates that; Senator
Watour is to be re-elected by the influence of
Commodore STOCKTON'S friends, in return for
the appointment of HOiI.JOHN P. STOKTON RS
Resident Minister at Borne, in vebich'it is Bug'
gested Mr. WRIGHT played a prominent part.
Among all the curiosities of politics, the spec
tacle of an anti,Lecompton American like
Commodore STOCKTON trying to, elect a Le
compton • Democrat to the Senate would be
the • moat curious. We hope sincerely that
no Democrat; true •to the Cincinnati - Plat
form, will' sanction any effort to ro.elect
•Mr. WKIOUT. He knew. that New Jersey was
hostile to the whole Lecompton swindle. The
majority of the Democrats in the Legislature
had denounced it, _ Some of the ablest Demo
crats in the State had appealed to him to op
pose it. The young and gallant spirits who
carried that State for• BUCHANAN ROdIBRICK

against it.- Men' like Gen. • Wtraltat Cobi4
:Eon. Mknorin • RYERSON, GAILKETT' S. CAN.,
NON, ONIALES • SKELTON, JACON, lirittArrk,
and West Jersey, almost in mass; took ill:lawns
against that double wrong. • But •Mr. *many
offensively disregarded these honest arid expll- -
cit manifestations. He certainly had few claims,
either of intellect or of services, upon the De
mocratic party ; •and here was an opportunityta
prove that he wss not a Densouret Or the pur

public and unwarrantable.
Of the other Democratic members from NeW
Jersey in the last Congress, but one, Hon. G.
B. Annuli, (from the Third District,) had the
nerve to oppose Lecompton.. We are glad to
hear that there is every probability that the
people will re-elect him. - Hon. - Jens }limns,

THE VERMONT 49REFORMER6 t 9
One of the Peculiar idiosyncratic 'develop
ments of American society has just termi
nated. A convocation, which, for want of a
better title, has assumed the name of " Reform
Convention," has been having a lively time at
Rutland, Vermont., The present affair ap.
pears to have been-a combined demonstration
of the heterodox " Isms" which have already
attracted public attention and gained public
notoriety for their defenders..
Spiritualism has sent more than, its panel
contingent to the grande armie of reformers.
Socialism, Free-love-ism, Woman-rights-ism,
and. Anti-slavery fanaticism, have contributed
their-quota of strength and influence.
The assemblage which thus assumed the
peculiar care and guardianship of the interests
of human progress, numbered, 'Ho the tele
graph reports inform us, no leas than a thou
sand persons of both sexes. It was a rare
conglomeratien of the erratic Theorists of
different ilks who have infested the north
eastern section of the Union, to the discredit
of the really sensible people who live ;thorn
—an omnium gather= of "black spirits and
white, rod writs and gray," who came to mako
- the cauldron of agitation bubble.
The 'scope of their aesthetic deliberations
may be beet judged from the palatable hodge
podge served up "by resolution." The dish
was made savory by "spiritualism, anti
elitvery, marriage, maternity, the Bible, tem
perance, land-reform, free-trade, the Sabbath
and divine worship"—a mixture sufficient to
suit the most Untheoretical appetite. One of
the most enterprising spirits in attendance,
who rejoices in the name of "Mrs. JULL%
Bassren," ventilated her peeldiar impressions
of tho present imperfect social system, de
claring that " marriage was the badge of
woman's degradation and slavery," and-that
the marital relation, hitherto honored among
all civilized, and even savage, nations, effectu
ally deprived woman of "the control of her
name, personal property, labor, affections,
children, and freedom." This feminine crusa
der in the field of progress seemed anxious to
tilt madly against every institution which the
common judgment of mankind has sanctified
with its veneration. Another of the apostles
of "reform," in the ferror of a fanatical
rhapsody, declared before the convention that
"soonerthan one slave be held in bondage,
the Union, the Constitution, Religion, the
Church and the Bible, had better be sent to
damnation."
The true secret of all these absurd and blas
phemous demonstrations (the very violence
of which defeats the object of their utterers,
it it be to awaken attention or sympathy)
may be found in an insane desire for noto
riety. There is an eminence of infamy which,
through a false medinm of dense self-conceit,
is mistaken by fanatic zealots for fame. Un
able to secure notion in any other way for
their abominable theories, They rush into con
ventions with a reasonable certainty of having
their deeds blazoned over the country by the
kind assistance of the telegraph reporters.
There is no danger, however, of any harm
coming to The body politic from these insane
ravings of misguided enthusiasts. The very
ventilation of these empty bubbles serves to
dissipate them, and to prove conclusively their
titter hollowness. It is a cheap and easy game
to play reformer where there la nothing seribus
to reform ; but to uthieve the true distinction
of an earnest improver of social errors requires
the perfect abnegation of self, and the heroic
bravery of a martyr. The world has had
few of these—men who have towered
above the centuries, and left, upon so
ciety the indelible impress of their
deeds of self-sacrifice—but thousands in every
ago have pretended to this divine mission.
Time, " which sets all things even," has con
signed their names and their claims to obli
vion. The Vermont reformers belong par ex
cellence to this class of pretenders; for, to
dignify any of them with the title of moral
heroes would be tantamount to an overthrow
of all distinction between virtue and vice. The
beat and only cure to apply to these disorgan
izers is to let them entirely alone. This is
the most stringent style of punishment which
their delicate nerves will bear. Once tho
roughly applied, it would bring the most vio
lent of these reformers to reason, and might,
eventually, produce upon them a reasonable
consciousness of the inherent folly of the
dangerous doctrines they have espoused

- very s eitensively, , on June 11, in ti the City
artleici" : ,of ,the' Tinier, which we know in this
`coatitry.as to this money-market article." The'
Times thus sums up the charges, condensing
the ACl3olllltfrom the New York Times :
"The State of Wisconsin is held up as that in
which the exposure has' been most complete. The
affairs of rt , eoneern called the La Crosse and-Mil
waukee Railroad 'loving lately led to a demand
for inquiry which sold not be resisted, a com
mittee of the Legislature was appointed to examine
anti report, and the whole history of the concern
is now embodied in an official report of 400 pages.
From this it appears that the company obtained
their donations of lands by the direct bribery of
the entire Government of the State, Thirteen
members of the Senate 'received bonds of the com
pany to the amount of .£35,000, in sums varying
from £2,000 to £5,000 each. Sixty members of the
House of Assembly received sums ranging from
£l,OOO to £2,000 each. Only four members voted
for the bill. without pay. The Governor of
the State received £lO,OOO, his private Bee•
raters , £l,ooo,.the Lieutenant-Governor £2,000,
the Bank .Controller £2,000. and the clerks of
the House from £l,OOO to £2,000 each. In ad
dition, about X51),000 was distributed among a set
of persons - termed !outsiders,' lobby agents, &o.
Among the witnesses examined was Mr. Byron
Klibourn, the president of the company, and this
gentleman described, in a manner worthy of an
stooomplished hand, the operations which bad been
carried on. He studiously selected ills phrases,
abstained from using the word bribe,' but ad
mitted that the leghtlatars had had ' a pecuniary
compliment.' In fact, the subject of gratuities'
had been discussed with them,
and he had said
that in return for their votes he would 'exorcise
a reelprmtal liberality.' The 410 000 paid to
the Governorwas simply to propitiate his fettl

Most undoubtedly, this is ayettbad case.

are-as disgusting as they aro unprecedented,
we trust and believe, in this country. But we
think that England is not exactly the country
which should Phsraisaically thank Heaven that
it is purer and better than America. Before
she does this she should look and see that her
own bill' of health is clean. We assert, very
00 it!ld ently, that the LOndon Times should
not have Chuckled over Wisconsin corruption
until it was quite sure that a similar charge
against English legislators could not stand.
One of the most celebrated English novel
writers of the day is the author of "John
galifaxy Gentleman." This lady's name is
800. Mani+ liciocit. Her father, now a
.very aged man, was on pretty friendly terms
with Gtcoaqi: Caxnino, the English orator and
statesman, with whom he bOcame
it is said, when both were fellow undergradu
ates at Oxford ; nearly forty years ago, while
residing at Geneva, Mr. ItiTILOOK wrote a work
against Atheism, to convert BYRON, whom he
greatly eulogized. In a letter to THOMAS
1110011 E, Britoil said of Itini.oort "I thought
that there was some wild talent in him, mixed
with a due leaven of absurdity—as there must
be in all talent, let loose upon the world, with
out a martingale." Exactly forty years ago,
Moost journalized kim as "Mr. Blezoax, a
pedantic young Irishman, and a mighty genius
in his own estimation, who, having trted liter
ature and place-hunting without success, be
came a merchant in Liverpool, and by natural
process a bankrupt."
• Just at the moment when the Times was
exulting over " Wisconsin corruption," this
same Mr. MuLocic, who bears the character of
being a truth-telling man, and indeed has
suffered for being veracious out of place and
time, wrote a letter to the Carlisle Examiner,
in which the following demonstrative anecdote
is related - '
"For many years I enjoyed an intimate acquain
tance with the late Sir John Gladstone, of Peeve—
the father of an ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Ono day, in the winter of 1841, I was conversing
with Sir John. at hie Mania, in Carlton Gardens,
when the worthy Baronet condessended (as the
Scotch lawyers airy) upon the fruitful theme of
the enormous frauds and deceptions perpetrated
by railway schemers, In getting up and even carry

the Legislature did not adopt some stringent mea

striking example. When the Liverpool and Man

not taken the precaution of bribing every member

Sir John, who was quite 'up' in all snob clever

and I stood on either side the committee door, and
as each member approached we ;dowel an hit nos

so; but the well-known William Holmes spited to

The WILLIAM HOLMES hero named was

many years. Mr. liftmocx concludes his anec

legislative body, related by a credible witness,
on the authority of the actual agent of the
bribery, himself an ex-member, and likely to
be remembered as having reared a colossal
fortune by trade in Liverpool, and also as
father of Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE, the States

Tun Knw-En TnonvE.—During the post week,
as we mentioned before, the celebrated Keller
troupe have been performing at Wheatley's Arch
street Theatre. Louis Keller, with a truly artisti
cal mind, is fully master of a description of per
formance of which, until he visited this country,
we scarcely had any correct idea. Ile is one of
the men who never relaxes from the study of his
beautiful art. For him every additional success
is the inducement to seek yet further triumph
Last week his performances were a sort of drains,
called "Joseph in Egypt," arranged after the
opera of that name It was a parcel of cu
rious anachronisms—but they passed, as the
dialogue evidently way talking against time,
to afford Mr. Keller, in the intervals, the
necessary time to arrange his exquisite picto
rial groups. We may say, however, that Mr.
V-Cuticch as /mac end Mr. Wallis as IThan,
utile i with spirit and ability. Nor must we for
get Mr. (filo as Joseph—Mr.Gile in action, voice,
and manner, conjuring up to our mind an idea of
what Mr. Pater Riehings, the Methuselah of the
stage, might have been, in early manhood, some
sixty-three years ago. Miss Emma Taylor, as
U/irku, looked so lank and lathy, sane hoops,
that we were almost converted to the propriety of
crinoline as a figure-improver. The drama was
a vehicle for numerous tableaux, arranged with
picturesque beauty. Of these. the finest were,
The Battle of the Amazons, Famine, The Four
Seasons, The Shower of Gold, and the exquisite
Finale of the Flowers. After these, a great num
her of charmingly graceful young girls, forming
the juvenile ballet troupe, danced lu a piece called
"The Enchanted Bower," and Keller's 'noble
national picture, "The Temple of Liberty," In
which beautiful Madame Keller appeared se the
Goddess of Liberty, with the lending members of
the troupe as the States of the Union. Charles
Dodworth's tine orchestra did " discourse most
eloquent music" during the evening. Mr. Kel
ler's nightly speech is on amusing part of each
night's performances, though ho has not gone much
beyond the length of saying that he wanted some
body to write a speech for him—which the said
somebody never does! Tennight, and throughout

LETTER FROM ""OCCASIONAL ++
[Correspondence of The Prem.]
WAROINOTON, JllllO 27, 1858
Who can be found equal to the American mis
sion at London? I have always believed and said
that Mr. Pallas is, by all odds, the most compe
tent and accomplished citizen in the country for that
high position, at least sioco Mr. Buchanan has re
turned—unless, indeed, it is proposed to select
from the statesmen of which Mr. Everett, Mr.
Rives, Mr 7. P. lionnedy are specimens. Nor can
I see any living reason for recalling him. It is true
that Philadelphia has beenwell loaded with diplo
matic appointments. Mr. Randolph Clay, (who
is an old stager, but a most accomplished minis.

of Mr. Spencer, the new consul at Paris, who,
though charged to New York, wan really recom
mended for rhiladelphia by Robert Tyler and a
few others, multi, up a considerable aggregate.
But Mr. Reed will shortly return, which will leave
a vacancy in the Chinese diplomatic corps, and a
now temptation to aspiring politicians. Besides,
Mr. Dallas is in a position which should be charged
to the whole country and not to a State simply. Ile
has so well and wisely managed the affairs of the
right of search, moreover, and is so popular at
court, that, however strong the disposition to re
move Lim may be, I hope he will be allowed tore

Mr. Vass is succeeded at Rome by John P. Stock

ever, will doubtless avoid the dangerous prece

former letter Z was led to suppose was the case.
'The thing was gracefully done—and though Cul.

New Jersey Legislature. he voted for Lecomp
ton, and in this way he succeeded in doing groat
injury to Col. Wall, of Burlington, who would not
endorse his first election, and who, though the
eon of an old friend of the President, was defeated
fur a resident mission by Senator Wright. It is
wholly impossible that the latter can be re-elected,
though Commodore Stockton is said to be fully
committed to him, in consequence of his opposition
to Wall.

for him a triumph of the most overwhelming cha

fear the groat strength of Judge Douglas in the
North; and many of those aho denounced him
for his late course earnestly insist on his electim
to the Senate.

ATLANTIC; CABLE
'Preto the London Times,)
Thu expedition started on Juno 10. It has bean
erroneously supposed by some that, as during the
experimental trip the cable was broken two or
three times in rapid succession on board each
ship, the trial woo, therefore, a failure, and that
the path to success with the undertaking itself is
still as obscure and difficult as ever. these opi
nions, hoe over, have no foundation in foot. The
experimental trip was decided on for the purpose
of putting the cable and the various apparatus fur
laying it to the most severe tests, and, in fart, to
make mishaps, in order that the value of the
different machines for remedying such disasters
might be practically ascertained.
From the beginning it was intended. to lose or
expend the cable with which the experiments
were made, and for this vary purpose the Aga
memnon and Niagara were each provided with
some twenty miles of coil which had boon con
demned as worthless by the company's engineers.
Some doubt still exists whether the Agatnetnnon
will Lilt or be towed to her destination in mid
ocean. Captain Hodson, of the Niagara, is deter
mined on •teaming; but the Agamemi on is al
ready so full that it to no longer doubtful that she
cannot take the coals necessary for eighteen days'
steaming. Though the sacks are stowed In tempo.
vary bunkers along the main-deck, it has not been
found possible to cram more into her than 480
tons, or, at the most extreme computation, only
cool fur fifteen days. Under the most favorable
circumstances this is the time she must ocoupy in
the voyage, but If even a single day were bat in
making the splice she would be unable to ream at
the most ethical part of the voyage. namely, when
approaching the coast of Ireland now this difficul
ty is to ho got over is not yet decided, though most
probably it will be arranges! by giving the Aga
memnon, towed by the Vaiorous.a couple of days'
start of the Niagara. This would do all that is
wanted. The Porcupine surveying vessel has
already been despatched to Newfoundland. She
will wait for the Niagara at Trinity bay, and pilot
her carefully through its intricate navigation to
the Bay of Bulls, where, if all goes well, the wire
will be landed. and the latest advioes fietu Now
York and Wasl.ington instantly transmitted.
During the paying out no messages are to be sent
through the wire from ship to ship, but merely
constant currents to show that the insulation and
electrical continuity are porfect.
The rendezvous in mid pecan for which the
squadron steels on leaving is 52 deg. 2 min. north
latitude, 33 deg 18 min. west longitude. Where
the American side of the cable will be landed is in
47 deg 49 into north, 54 0 west, and the telegraph
house at Valentin is ill 51 deg 56 min. north, 10
deg 25 min. west. The preci•o distance between
the two points is 1 720 nautical miles. The length
of wire in both vessels amounts to 2 966 nautical
miles, so that there is at least 80 or flii per cent.
allowed fur slack and contingencies.
Fatal Effects of the Heat.—Yesterday was
deeidediyAbe warmest of the season, and its effects
wore manifested in a number of fatal eases.
Mrs Elton Diroor. 45 years of age, residing in
Mullen's court, Lombard street, between Twen

afternoon, from the effects of the heat. Au in

TM inns Killuws died suddenly from the same
cause, at S.mth street wharf, Delaware. Ho wits

o'clock lest night, the Coroner had nut held an
inquest in any of these eases.
Committee of Councils has been appointed

of the central station of the police and fire-alarm

oramnedsup place, so treaty one-tenth us large as
it should be to accommodate the business th it is
transacted there. We learn that It is in contain
plation to shift the quarters of the water depart
ment and to give the telegraph the use of the room
on the first 11,or of the City Hall, now need by the
Register of water. If this is done, we hope the
Coroner will have allotted to him the route now
occupied by thd telegraph. or the smolt in to in
the rear of the present apartment of the liNister
of water. Since the establishment of the local
telegraph, nearly all the mersages sent to the Cor

to the central elation of the telegraph. The (alte
rable accommodations of our public offices are
pretty notorious; but a little management would
enable the authorities to overcome many of the
inconveniences now suffered.
Overcome by the Heat.—There was a good
deal oleo:faring from the exeesdve heat on Satur

•
Wesnitiovoh, June 27.—Count Sartiges, the
French Milliliter, had an official Interview yester
day with Mr. Cass, during which he tendered the
fullest and most satisfactory disavowals of all corn
plioity, by the French Government, in M. Belly's
project in Nicaragua and Central America.
The Union, in noticing the subject, says,'; "In
volving, as the operation of this personage did, if
they had been official, a clear violation of the well
known policy of this Government in regard to
European colonization anti the establishment of
e.e.olusive European jurisdiction on this Continent,
it was not to have been supposed that the French
Government could have authorized the action
taken by M. Belly in Nicaragua."
The Administration contemplates ordering a
larger naval force than we have heretofore had in
the waters of Central America and the Gulf, not
on account of any new demonstrations of interfer
ence by foreign powers in that quarter, but with
the general design of more effectually protecting
the lawful rights of our citizens, and guarding
our national interests from jeopardy.
The Union congratulates the country on the
most auspicious settlement of the visit or search
