a MORMON CoNvERr.-A respectable
citizen of Cannelton by the name Of
Thomas Scott, convert of some of the
itinerant Mormon preachers who have
visited the borders of the Ohio, gathered
up his worldly goods and left Cannelton,
about a year since, for salt Lake City
The family endured'all the hardships
and fatigues Of journey across the
plains and reached the city of promise
last autumn. A few months residence
among the Saints revealed their true
character to him. and in the spring he
left them, recrossed the plains, and has
got back to Cannelton, with his family,
peuniIess. but'rejoiciDg over his escape.
The Reporter says: He gives a deplora-
BILE account Of things in Brigham's do
minions. We should think Mr.. Scott's
experience would dampen the srdor Of
the saints hereabouts, aud that no sane
person would longer adhere to tho vile
creed, or remain identified with such .
gang of outlaws.

The Rev. 3. C. Smith Of the .Presbyte-
rian Church at Prattsburg, n. T., had
fallen under the censures Of the clergy Of
his Church, for preaching heretical doc
trines. The Presbytery met to investi
gate the charges, and as the most sum
mary and conclusive mode of setting forth
what the doctrines were which he had
preached. Smith proposed to deliver a
discourse before the Presbytery which
should embody all his views on certain
points, and if they were erroneous, they
could condemn him out of his own
mouth. This was assented to; and the
discourse was delivered and listened to
by the learned body with close and crit
ical attention, prepared to detect the evil
dence of heresy lurking under every
figure, or tapering off in every period
The hour Of judgement came, and the
clerical members Of the Presbytery, in
the presence Of the congregation, con-
demned him out of his own mouth. The
sermon was rank heresy. concentration
Of errors, and one man set it down as
blasphemy. When the whole body o
them had committed themselves unalter
ably against the soundness Of the dis
course, the pastor rose and gravely in
formed them that he had read in theil
hearing the 32nd Lecture Of DR.. Chal
mers on the Epistle to the Romans !!
Thssaudience burst forth In storms o
applause. The feelings of the Presbytery
depicted IN their faces, may be imagined
but not now described.

OF The immigration into Missouri,
the present season, exceeds that Of all
former periods. by more than 100 per
cent; and it is mostly from the free
States. The relative prices; of land in
Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri, have been
SD much less in the latter, that emigra-
ton has been turned in food upon the
Missouri, and the accession Of free labor,
it is thought, will have an important eff
feet in promoting the progress of eman-
cipation in that border slave State. In
the st. Louis Land District more than
40O, 900 acres have been entefo4 within
sixty DAYS. In the Warsaw District over
10000 have been taken up in the same
period. Two thousand acres per day are
entered in the Jackson District In Pal
myra District only $4,000 acres remain
subject 10 entry. The amount of lands
taken mp the last three months in these
districts, exceeds the quantity taken in
the three previous years. Missouri has
mineral and agricultural resources to
make her the richest State in the Union
and with the energies and intelligence Of
free labor to develope them, she will be-
come the centre Of wealth, industry and
trade, as she is the geographical centre
of the confederacy.

A BIT OF RoMAScE-On the last trip
of the Tennessee Belle from st. Louis to
Cincinnati, there was youn, lady Of
great personal charms, heightened by an
ample fortune in prospect; these combin-
ed attractions had SO fascinated young
man that he had left business, home and
friends to follow and guard her in her
journey. His dsvotions were being
lavished, apparently, upon cold and Oh
durate heart, and the suit seemed hope
less. But fortune favors constancy and
bravery. On landing at Carrolton, Ky,
the lady proposed to go on shore with
an aunt and the young man was reluc-
family permitted to accompany them
As the fair one stepped upon the gang
plank, it slipped from its position and
pitched the lady into the river and she
d s,ppeared dnder the wharf boat. The
hero, as quick as thought, plunged In az
ter her, dove under the wharf boat, aud
came out at the lower end OF 1t with the
lady in his arms. They were rescued
the lady very icet and very much fright
ened-the getleman with passion in no
wise abated.
When the lady appeared again in the
cabin, she appeared not only with a
change Of dress, but with change Of
feelings.
About ten o'clock, in the evening.
Captain Russell wait upon the passen-
gers, and requested their immediate
presence in the cabin. When they all
assembled, the gentleman and lady arose,
and were united in matrimony by the
Rev. B. G. Snodgrass, of S.. Louis, who
happened to be on board, and the subse-
quent hours all went merry as mar
riage bell, indicating that "all's well that
ends well.''

The over jealous and injudicious
friends Of tie blacks are more likely to
sggravate the evils and dangers that sur
round them, than aid or relieve them.
No true friend of the law ever desires to
try its strength against excited popular
passions, amid tumult. Its power is
in its appeals to the reason and calm re-
Fiction Of men. It's strength is not in
the force that executes it, but in the re-
verence for it and the habits Of obedience
to it, that pervade the people. 1t is the
worst injury that can be done to its au-
thority to make futile attempt to en-
force it. Never, if possible, bring it in
conflict with popular passions where it
is likely to be defeated. Wait till it can
resume its sway, and then demand its
execution.

Iowa Moss.-Ths Young State of Iowa


is gaining more unenviable reputation
Tor mobs and violence than Mississippi
ever enjoyed. She is ecliPsing in An in-
famous fame, the most barbarous South
Western border community. Some
twelve or fifteen men have been lynched
within three months in the Northern
part of that State, and hung up without
law, judge or jury. Another act OF law
less barbarity is added to the catalogue.
The 0skalosa (Iowa) Times Of July l6
states that Judge Stone, on the 18th, opened
special term of his court at Montezuma,
Poweshiek county. for the trial OF William Is.
Thomas, for the murder of Mr.. and Mrs. CAT
sell, who are supposed TO have been murder
ed-their bodies having been found in the
woods near Montezuma last fall. As soon as
the court was opened, Thomas rose and asked
Tor change OF venue. saying that he could
have no hope for fair trial in that excited
and exasperated neighborhood. The court
granted the change OF venue but no sooner
had the decision been made than mob OF
two hundred armed persons took the prisoner
out OF the custody Of the Sheriff, toos HIM
outside Of the limits Of the town. ant hung
him without going through even the formal
ity Of mock trial. Judge Stone followed
the mob and urged them 20 respect the laws
but at length had to leave the town. tC
escape the fate OF the prisoner. This make:
the sixth man hung by mobs in Iowa In thl
last eight weeks.

HYpRoPHoBIA.-Weh have seen frequent
accounts recently Of persons dying in the
most excruciating agony, from the effects
Of this terrible malady. No less than
five children were bitten by single mad
dog in Philadelphia last week, and in
New York several fatal cases of hydro
phobia have occurred. Intense heat, it
is believed, developes, if it does not orr
ginate, this disease amongst the canine
race. 1t is we'll to be careful. But it
has been remarked that the disease is
seldom developed in dogs kept along the
banks of fresh water streams. tits said
also that in Constantinople. which is a
city infested with innumerable packs OF
ours of all descriptions, without owners
or masters, that hydrophobia is scarcely
known. But with the Turks it is re-
ligious duty to feed and give drink to the
dogs and almost every Turkish house
has vessel containing water for the
dogs to slake their thirst at. 1t has
been inferred from these facts that ny
drophobia is generated by the suffering
Of thirst in the poor animals, and the
best preventive is to provide your dog
with water, and have it at all times &C
cessible to him. The practice II muz
zling dogs is the worst mode IT, induce
the disease, as it renders it impossible
for the poor animal to drink at all, and
the muzzIe acts as an annoyance and ar
irritant, that would drive paaceable anc
healthy dog into madness and hydropho
bia. Our laws for the management o
dogs do more harm than good. Either
kill them OF or give them the freedom
of the city, and the unrestrained use o
aiRand water. We have never seen Oh
heard of mad dog on the banks of the
] Ohio river; though the cry of mad dog
| is often raised. the animal is not otter
seen.

Yesterday evening an inhamatory
printed handbill was circulated, calling
for help to expsl the negroes from Union
and Perry Townships in this county.
The rendezvous is appointed at the ne
gro settlement in Union Township, this
day ct hal-past one o'clock. We under
stand our Sheriffs are taking efficient
measures to arrest this movement, and
will be on hand with sufficient posse to
arrest as large crowd as may assemble.
The publication Of the design will for
tunately defeat the Outrage. The civil
authorities will call upon all good citi.
zens to aid them in maintaining the SUI
premacy Of law. We advise all who
would avoid serious trouble, to refrain
from taking any part in this illegal and
unwarrantable proceeding Our citizens
are determined to sustain the law. and
to see that every violater of it,, in this
instance, is duly punished. Let every
one who is not either determined to sup.
port the officers or to be participant II
an affray-and incur its penalties-tt
keep away from the vicinity.

ELECTION FRAups-Loud and conf

ELECTION FRAups.-Loud and conf
dent charges were made that gross frauds
had been committed in various precincts
in Philadelphia, at the State election in
October last. They passed then unheed-
ed, IS such charges usually are, as the
natural complaints of the defeated and
disappointed party. But the candidate
OF the Republicans for District Attorney,
it appears, being convinced that he had
received majority of the legal votes,
determined to claimthe Office, and intro
duced judicial proceedings to obtain it.
The case has been some time before the
Courts, and q most thorough sitting Of
the ballots and returns have been made.
The existence of = registry law greatly
facilitated the investigation, and some
extraordinary facts have been developed,
exhibiting state Of corruption and bal
lot-stuffing, that is truly startling. The
Court, after examining into the returns
of but eight out Of some thirty or forty
districts, found ele,vn hundred and sirty'
ciqht fraudulent Democratic rotes. There
were but I'LL legal votes in all these
eight districts, and yet the Democrats
managed to cast 1853 illegal votes--put'
ting into the ballot box one fraudulent
ticket for every legal ticket, nearly
That is certainly the most wholesale
fraud ever heard Of and surpasses even
the box stuffing at San Francisco.
l. These facts, let it be remembered, are
e. tablished after patient judicial investi
CATION, and upon legal evidence. The
result is that the Democratic Distric
Attorney has been declared not elected
and has been turned out Of the Office
which he has filled Cor several months
ENJOYING its fees and immunities withou
any legal right. The majority in thu
whole State was but little more thar
1000 In that election, and there mas peei
discovered in eight wards in the cit,
nearly 1900 fraudulent votes, cast TO
the successful party. 1t is not ilkei.
that frauds so bold as these. would b
confined to one district. Men that hat
the nardihood to plan such assaults upol
the right Of suffrage, would aim at hlghe
game than the petty offices of district
The inference is inevitable that the.
were extensive enough to change tn
majority in the State. The result OF tn
contest for State Officers in October, de
termined the issue of the vote for presI
dental electors, in November; and tn
conviction follows that the national can
, vas was influenced, ifnot determined, b
these frauds in a single city.

The NATIONAL HOTEL SICKNESS AGAIN.
The editor Of the Scalpel pretends tn
have at last discovered the origin of the
National Hotel sickness. He says that
he is prepared to prove that the rats on
the premises were poisoned with arsenic
and were drowned IN the water tank
used for cooking and other household
purposes. Arsenic, mechanically diffus-
ed from the. decayed rats, and slowly ac-
ting on the stomach, is sufficient to &C
count for all the symptoms.

@As evidence of the degeneracy of
public sentiment in relation to mobs, ri
OTIS and lynching. the indianapolis Amer
lean says that Judge Perkins of the Su-
preme Court twas an approving specta-
tor-an accessory before the fact" in the
Firemen's riot, that washed out" the
Cyprians in Indianapolis. He was res
ident in the neighborhood of these nous
es Of i'll fame, and was called as a wit
ness before the court for the examination
of the rioters. He testified shat he liv-
ed in the neighborhood; know them to
b houses of i'll fame. The houses were
subjects Of serious complaints to parents
who had sons and daughters growing
up. The effect of such houses upon the
neighborhood was very prejudicial.-
Property is undervalued by them. He
knew what had been said to have been
done to remove those houses. Persons
residing in the vicinity of those houses,
were afraid to let their daughters go out
after nightfall unprotected" And thus
IS the Americans thinks, indirectly JUS
tifying, by his testimony, the proceed
ing of the mob. The clerk of the Su-
preme Court, was an active participant
IN the riots. When the highest law of
ficrs OF the State, the judge and clerk Of
the Supreme Court, are byt heir presence
passive accessories or active participants
in riots--it Is not wonderful that law
has lost its moral force among the peo-
plo.
