furnished by Mr. Webb, Of the Courier 8. Enquirer.
who had the very best possible opportunities Of
knowing the state of affairs ia London, and Of as
ceraining the intentions of the British government,
probably from the very mouth of Queen Victoria
herself
We understand that Mr. Webb has had very
interesting time of i, in England, und we the
more disposed to believe in the accuracy OF his in
formation with respect to war, from the success
of his mission to Eogland in search of loan for
the purpose Of bringing the coal mines of Cumber
land, in Maryland, into operation. We understand
that he, IN conjunction with Mr. Barwell,
has been operating in the coal mines Of Maryland,
and his principal object in visiting England was to
procure loan of million Of dollars to open one
of these mines, and from all appearances, particu-
larly the war between France and England he has
succeeded, TO the no small discontinue of Illinois,
who has been trying in vain for some years past to
get loan. But the truth is, the ga liant Colonel
had the certificate of solvency in his pocket, which
Illinois had not; and Illinois need not expect to
get loan til she goes through the bankrupt law.
We have private correspondence from England
giving full account of the movements connected
with the mission of Col. Webb, and the great inte-
rest taken in him in London, and particularly the
all which we are enabled to conclude that he sue
ceeded infinitely better in interesting Sir Robert
Peel than did his famous antagonist, General Duff
| Green. We indeed sorry that France and
England have gone to war, aud are now cutting
each others throats, but there is some consolation
in the reflection that The loan of one million Of dol
lars has been secured, and that the Cumberland
coal mines in Maryland will be opened immedi-
| ately.
| THE TARIFF AND THE REvENUE.-We refer our
| readers TO our money article to-day, for novel
and philosophical OF the operation of the pre-
sent tariff, far as it at present effects the cur
rency and all the great interests of the country,
and probably will do SO for some time to come.
| Perhaps there has been no subject which has been
discussed by the politicians, talked of at every
cross-road and in every street and corner, debated
In all circles from the highest to the lowest, by all
sorts Of men from Mr. Webster down to Philoso-
pher Greeley-on which SO much sheer nonsense,
and mere empty verbage, have been poured forth,
on the subject of the tariff
It is really astonishing to see men of such intel.
lectual caibre as Webster, and Wright, and Clay,
deliberately debating and discussing, week after
week, at this mass meeting and that mass meet
ing, the little, small, minute details about the
|
tacks, or some other paltry commodity instead Of
taking an enlarged and comprehensive view Of the
operation Of the tariff on the general interests and
welfare OF the country. BY reference to our money
article, clear and mathematical view Of this SUBJ
ject will be obtained. II will be that the
tariff ia rapidly bringing us to the same disastrous
era which the tariff Of 1892 introduced when it
created surplus revenue We are now on the
.l.~
financial and monetary elements OF the country to
great degree, if check be not speedily inter
posed
| We advise every reader and politician to peruse
this money article, and lay its facts and reasonngs
to heart. 1t presents the only accurate and sound
view of the tariff which has been yet given.
| EXTRAORDINARY Disclosures OF MoRMoNIsM -
| We received yesterday, by mail, from Nauvoo,
Illinois, and publish portion the first page Of
this days paper, Of very extraordinary narrative,
by person Of the name of Jackson, of the state Of
society in the Mormon country. A number Of af-
fidavlis affixed to this remarkable document,
giving II an air Of credibility, but we eay cannot
believe the one half of the revelations unless cor
roborated by additional authority. However, even
admitting this to be an exaggerated narrative there
| is every reason to believe that the revelations oi
inlquity and villainy which 1t contains, have TO
considerable extent but too substantial foundation
in truth. Still this presents not the shadow Of
justification of the barbarous and cold-blooded mas
sacre OF the Mormon leaders, after they had given
themselves up to The authorities, and awaited the
action of the tribunals of the country.
This narrative will doubtless obtain full credence
in Illinois, and shows the terrible state OF society
existing there at present, the two parties being ady
to believe anything of each other however grossly
exaggerated In such lamentable condition of
affairs, should not be surprised to hear soon Of
some terrible fresh outbreak Of popular violence.
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION IN PHILADELPHIA An
Episcopal Convention commences its session in
the city of Philadelphia this day. 1t has been
called together for the purpose Of taking into con-
slderation the recent resignation OF Bishop Onder-
donk, whose conduct for some time past, has il
appears, given great offence TO the Episcopal
Church in Pennsylvania. Some things are said OF
him that certainly astonishing even in this age
OF astonishing things. An effort will be made TO
reject his resignaon and depose him from the epis-
copae, after exposure Of his conduct in all its
most secret points to the Indignation OF the world
This will be very interesting assembIage, and
the proceedings and developments will be very
singular and exciting, displaying the clerical cha
racter Of very distinguished church in the person
of one Of its bishops. We have engaged a special
reporter for the occasion, and will be able to iur
nish readers with full account OF all the pro-
| ceedings.
