RISE AND PROGRESS OF MORMON
ISM IN ENGLAND.

The following history of the propagation
OF the Mormon doctrines in England was
contained in a speech Of Mr. John Hyde.
Jr., at a recent Conv cntion Of Mormons in
London.
We quote from the London Sun OF
June Sd:
The speaker then adverted to the pro
sress of .'the Church, in England. observ-
| ING that in 1857, ono year before the saints
reached Nauvoo, X. G. kimball and Orso"
Hyde. together with several others. landed
at Liverpool, ftiendless and destitute.
They separated and went forth, preaching
into the towns on either side. Preston
first heard and obeyed the principles OF
truth. In eight months, seven hundred
members met in conference in that town.
rejoicing in the power and privilege Of the
Gospel. In very short time, severas
counties, among which were Yorkshire,
Lancashire, Stafford, Gloucester, Worces-
ter, and Hereford, had heard and received
creased so that in $40, after three years
labor, the general conference reported
$500 members. and sos in the priesthood,
making in all 4,ol9 saints.
But such triumphant success was not
confined to England Scotland enjoyed
portion, ard Ireland was also made to re-
ioice, and Wales testified. by her thou
sands, how the Church had progressed in
that province. In Scotland the blood
cementeL pyramid Of biso,ry and super
stition had been triumphan,'y attacked,
although sustained by the proverbial wari-
ness of the Scotch. The conference es-
tablished in Edinburgh. Notwithstanding
that hundreds had removed and hundreds
more emisrated, still represented more
than 500 members. Glasgow was also
proclaimed. and over 2,O65 members were
now reveilinS in the enjoyment Of the
spirit of truth. In 1851 more than $3.50
had obeycd the mandates of Heaven, and
thousands bad, beside, emigrated to the
gathering place of the saints. AS to Ire
land, it was not until 1880 that Dublin
had heard the principles of truth ; he was,
however, glad to say that small branch
had been established in that city,
In Wales, their success was still more
great and glorious. In 1851, the number
of saints in the principality was 4. .848, in
cluding officers. The statistics of January
last showed there were, altogether. in the
United Kingdom, AZ conferences, Coz
branches, % seventies, 70 high priests,
1,764 elders, I, 500 priests, 1876 teachers,
682 deacons, and 25,452 members, making
a total Of 5O,737 saints. During the last
fourteen years more than 40. 600 had been
baptised in ngland, Of which nearly II, 900
had emigrated frea, her shores to Zion.
He next gave brief sketch of the pro-
eress Of the work in London. La Feb !,
1911, the London Conference was organiz-
ed. consisting Of three branches-London.
w uolw;ch. aud Bedford, and, and com
posed Of about so members. The number
Of members. in 1912, had increased to 400
or 500. and the number of branches had
more than trebled. During the last five
years, 1881 persons had yielded in ODE
dicnce to the Gospel.

FRAUD UPON THE GOVERNMENT.

While we were in Washington city, it was dis
covered that i Mexican claim, (under the lat e
treaty OF peace with that Government,) amount
ing to half million of dollars had been allow ed
by the American board of Commissioners and
been paid at the Treasury, turned out TO be a
forgery It also appears that before the claim
was awarded BY the Board, it was purchased OF
the claimant by Mr. Corcoran, the Banker, and
perhaps others, for an amount not exceeding pro-
badly S. 90 ,00O one-f fifth its value.
Whether the money can be reclaimed or not,
time will show.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.

Mcssrs Foster and Fleeson, of the Pitts
bur.h Despatch was tried in that city last
week for libel, for commenting upon the
character of certain individual who pre-
sided at public temperance meeting.
by the bill of rights, under the const,tu-
ton Of the State. the public press is free
to discuss the acts Of the Legislature, Of
those occupying official positions, or who
may be in a public capacity. Col. Foster,
in conducting his own defence, took the
ground that the prosecutor was acting in
''public capacity" as chairman of pub
meeting. the object of which was to in
struct the Legislature. the public and the
court, in relation to its duties. that it was
of great advantage to the public to know
what kind Of men presided over and com
posed this meeting. and that with good
motives and justfiable ends the publication
had been made for public information.
Judge Mcclure charged the jury favorabIy
to this construction, t.,at not only lesisla-
tors and office seekers and holders under
the State and National government were
acting in public capacity, but tina, others
might be considered to come within the
meaning of the law. The jury acquitted
the defendants on this ground, and fixed
he costs on the prosecutor.

CENTRAL RAILROAD PROGRESSING.
BY the following from the Hillsborough IN c. J
Recorder, it Will be seen that the Central Rail-
road is being commenced in earnest, aud by the
right sort of men:
"Contracts were taken at this place Oh
Wednesday,, fos the grading. &c on the
the North Carolina Railroad. from Pratt's
store to the Alamance line, with the ex-
ccption Of small section about five miles
west Of ilillsboroush; and we learn from,
the Democrat. that or Friday. at Graham
contracts were taken for all that portion
of the Road which lies in Atamance Count y
except one or two sections for short dis
tances. We understand that since We'd
nesday last, the section west of this place,
which then remained to be contra cted for,
has been let out.
This is doing well and since the con
tracts for the construction Of the road have
been so readily let outfrom Goldsborousi q
| to Guilford. there canbe no doubt that the
remaining contracts will all be taken b,
the 10th of July.
The contractors for the portion of ths
Road in Orange are energetic, business
men, and we predict that the work vii
progress finely when they commence.

that the latter are inhabited each by single fam

We may suggest that, If Now York could de-

or Continenta Europe, the view might have been
extended to some of the German cities, which are
more densely packed with human hives than even
Paris,--as for example, Vienna, where, according
