t1y- A company of one hundred and thir-
ty paupers were set down from the ears nt
Syracuse last week. The Syracuse papers
alleged that they were sent over from Bnden-
Baden, at the expense OF the Government,
that they arrived at New York in the Sarah
Sands, and that the local authorities Of that
place, in order to get rid of them, sent them
us far MS Syracuse. Syracuse, in turn, VIII

RIXATRIx CoMMUNIs.-ln the Sixth Judi
cial District of Pennsylvania, decision of
much public interest was recently delivered
by Judge Galbrath, in the case of the Com.
monwealt Us. Samantha Hutchinson, ndict-
ed in the Quarter Sessions of Crawford coun-
ty, as common scod. The defendant was
found guilty of the charge, whereupon her
counsel moved in arrest Of judgment and for
n new trial, alleging that the indictment was
defective in charging the defendant as "a
common scold and dsturber of the peace of
the neighborhood, and of all faithful subjects
of this Commonwealth" and also, that the
offence of common scolding is not indictabe
as Il crime in Pennsylvania. The Court held
that there was much force III the first reason
respecting the defective nature of the indict-
mcnt; but as n decision on such point would
be of little practical importance, it put the
case on the other ground and discharged the
defendant because the offence is not indicta-
bic under any known law of the Common
wealth. Judge GaIbrait said that he could
find no law defining the offence, prescribing n
penalty, or authorizing any Court to inflict
punishment for it. Every citizen, he said, has
a right to know what acts are TO be regarded
as criminal, but how could any one know
what acts constitute n common scold-morc
especially when ii is laid down in the law
books that the fact is to be established, not
by particular acts, but by common fame. He
rightly Observed
"The defendant is thus left to the mercy
of the witnesses, and the opinion they may
entertain and express through the poisoned
medium of prejudice or personal malice, as is
believed to be generally the case. And who
can prepare to meet such evidence? The
jauildired opinion of witness, operating
upon the opinion of n jury. is made the blsis
upon which n verdict is predicated, and upon
which the liberty, character and happiness Of
the defendant for life depend"

selection from one of its articles, as ger

"The little cloud is growing. Day by day
we see the two great Anglo Saxon States
stand further apart; and causes Of complaint
are being multip ied-we grirve to say it

public. Is this the fruit of our Austrian and

Our Austrian leanings all along have turned
from us the hearts of our cousins. Bat now
we are to suffer for the quarrels of the French
Emperor. Three or four weeks ago, official

stories false! Or our ministers gone mad
Have they not enough upon their hands ,
We tell them, England will tell them, that
the first wish of all hearts is peace, friendli-
ness, concord in our own family-that no
alliance, however splendid can be welcome
to us that involves the alienation Of the Uni

MORMON MOVEMENT.

The Chicago Tribune says that the Nor.
mons of Salt Lake City have now determin-
ed to form n chain Of Mormon stations
throughout the Western States and Terrific
ries, at which the pilgrims TO the Salt l,ak'
may stop to recruit, or TO pass the winter,
and from which they may be helped forward
by such aid as they require from the breth-
ren. BY this means il is expected that the
Mormons will the more readily undertake
the great journey through the United States
and the far western wilderness. Arrange
ments have already been made for Norman
settlement on the Kansas river, in Kansas
territory. and stations Of this kind arc to be
formed in a chain from Salt Lake eastward
This movement has two-fod Character
First, it is intended TO hasten the day when
the territory of Utah will have sufficient
population to demand admission into the u
non as State, and if the intentions of the
Salt Lake chiefs be carried out, this wlll not
he long hence, for it is stated, ard, no doubt,
truly, that there are one hundred thousand
Mormons in Europe, all Of whom are willing
TO emmigrate TO SILT Lake. Next, it is in.
tended to establish Mormon churches or col
ones in all the principal cities of the United
States, so as TO give the Salt Lake settlers
friends who will defend their cause, and con-
gregatons from which they may derive emf
grants when desired. They are greatly
pleased with the squatter sovereignty prnei-
pie of the Nebraska bill, and calculate to
come into the Union under it, This is the
idea held forth by the Deseret News, which
of course, speaks the sentiments of Young
and his associates. The last train which
arrived at our western frontier from Salt
Lake brought the intelligence that fresh
batch of missionaries had been appointed to
60 forth 10 the United States aud Europe and
stir up the church, that emigrannts might
poor into Utah more rapidly, and so enable
it to become sovereign State.

.4s- The quantity of cordage consumed
by a nation depends greatly on its religion.
Owing to the immense number of holidays
which occur in Catholic countries, commerce
can never become matter of very great i'm
portunce with those who reverence Fridays
aud cod fish; and for this reason that these
countries cannot carry forward manufactures
with any great success; and without manu-
factories there can be no sailors and rope
yarn. Introduce the holidays of Madrid into
Manchester, and in less than twelve months
half the capitalists of England would become
bankrupts. The Catholic religion is pccu
liarly adapted To the wants oi an agrcutur !
people. Wheat will grow even on holidays.
Drive Professionalism out Of the United State,
and we would work an entire revolution in
the business habits of our people. With
twelve holidays month, even the Erie Canal
would cease to pay.

the following item in the Fort Smith Herald
of the 10th inst.
We learn from gentleman from Scott
county that mountain, about five miles from
WaIdron has exploded three times during
the last week. The explosions We're loud
and terrific, causing the earth around to quake,
throwing up stones and earth, and filling the
atmosphere with clouds of dust aud smoke.
The report of one of the explosions was
heard in the vicinity of this town, few
mornings since, distance of torty-fve or
fifty miles. The earth on the mountain has
sunk to n considerable depth. The people in
the vicinity are very much alarmed. These
are the facts, MS far as we are able TO learn;
but we hope to hear more fully and partcu-
Iarly in few DAYS.

edy The only positive work which tbs
Constitution does in regard to foreigners is
10 proScribe The Constitution has but five
clauses touching the subject: four of them
are prohibitory, and the other simply permis-
sire There is no guarantying clause WHAT
ever We must be pa.dohed for recalling the
very language of the Constitution, for this
progressive generation is fast loosing sight
of even the plainest features of that docu.
ment.
See. s, Of Article II, of the Constitution
says; "NO person, except natural born citi-
Ten, or n citizen of the United States ut the
time OF the adoption Of this Constitution,
shall be elcpibIe to the Office of President"
That is prescription.
Sec. g. of Article XII, Of the Constitution
says: "No person constitu!ionally ineligible
TO the office of President shall be eligible to
that of Vice President Of the United States"
That is prescription.
Sec. 8, Article |, says: "No person shall be
Senator who shall not have attained the age
of thirty wears and been nine years citizen
of these United States" That is prescription.
Sec Q, Article ], saysi "No person shall be
n Representative who shall not have attained
the age of twenty-five years and been seren
years a citizen" That Is prescription.
These are the disabilities imposed upon
foreigners after they have been made citizens.
But more than this, the Constitution leaves il
discretionary whether TO make them citizens
at all. 1t simply coniers the power, simply
permits.
See. s, Article l. says: Congress shall
hare po,cer to establish uniform rule Of ma
turalization, and uniform laws on the subject
of bankruptcies throughout the U. States.

The MuGMOys-Late dates from Utah an
nOuncr that the Mormnhs were betdming d.
vided among themselves, and the prospect
WAS that they would soon split into factions
that would eventually lead to the breaking
mp of the fraternity. The Gladdenilps are
sid to be IN de div opposition to Brigham
Young, and should he and his followers al
tempt +" carry out their threats of resistance
to the new Governor, the former will turn
ag inst their old conicdcra,es, and assist in
bringing them to terms. The Internal rdn.
fusion is precisely what was predicted from
the beginning with regard to these people
So long MS they were opposed and hmrrasscd
from without, they had no opportunity of
deliberately scruiinizing the character and
intentions of each other; but, so soon rs left
entirely To Themselves. the case was altered
they then were ;ifnrded chance of "read-
ing the designs of their leaders," as one Of
the dissenters remarked, and, rs a matter of
course, became dsaflrcted. Let them alone
a while longer, and the prospect is, that Nor
monism will work out IFS own redem2tion.-

EXCESS OF IMPORTS OVER ExPoRTs.-The
New York Courier publishes table showing
the excess of imports over exports since 1887,
on which it rcmarks.-
The enormous balance against the United

| lions in the past five years alone, has been
| iiquidatcd in part by the negotiation of over
! two hundred millions of bonds and stocks in
Europe-srcnndly, by uptces--thirdly,
by large sums imported from and by foreign
ers, who have since made their homes in the
country. and, in a small part. by profits on
shipments abroad, by freights, &c. Let it be
remembered that the millions negotiated
abroad in public securities, are only tempo
