HIGH PRICES FOR SuGAR.-We have received
numerous communications in regard to recent
and present speculative movements in sugar,
and coming as they evidently do, from oil classes
and conditions Of society they show the great in
terest that is felt in the high price Of this article,
now held as one Of the necessaries of life. Some
of them complain OF its dearness and wonder why
IL Is so; others openly lay the blame on the spe-
culators who control the markets others, again,
think that the English Abolition Society is the
true cause Of the advance, by freeing oil the
negroes in the British West Indies and urge us
TO favor their new scheme of free negro emigra-
ton from Africa purchased there at e7 los
head, while not few want us to scold the gro
GERS for adulteratng their supply. We should
not have room to publish tenth part of these
communications, even IL 20 doing would reduce
the price Of sugar to every man, woman and
child Of our readers. The price Of great staple
cannot be written up or down by few commu-
nications to q popular newspaper. II depends
upon the imperious law Of supply and demand,
and can only be momentarily controlled by spe-
culators If the demand exceeds the supply the
price win advance and II the consumption falls
off 20 as to be less than the supply, prices will
fall off too. One of our correspondents takes
this true view Of the subject, and sends us the
following statistics of the stock of sugar on the
LIST instant, at three important points, compared
with the stock at same date last year

THE ONO DEcrsIoN-The decision of Judge
Leavitt, in the contest between the United States
Marshal in Ohio and the State authorities, will
be found elsewhere, and will repay perusal IL
will be seen that the Judge goes very fully into
the facts of the case, and brings out the collision
between the two sets of authorities 10 very
clear and striking light. Proceeding from the
facts as gathered and grouped to the law govern
ing them, the Judge arrives al the real question
involved namely-csn law of the United
States be evaded, because certain citizens do not
like ~
This question of course the Judge answers in
the negative, and puts the point very conclusive
ly as-if every man were law to himself and
could choose what laws he would obey, the result
would be unmitgated anarchy and dissolution
Of the socid fabric lie therefore decides IN

The MoRMoNs.-We noticed the other day, the
graDdiloquent celebration Of the Fourth of July
by the Mormons at Norwalk, Conn, and drew
attention to the confident language in which the
speakers of the day predicted the spread of Nor
monism and the consolidation of the empire of
Brigham Young on an impregnable basis. If
these Norwalk orators are to be believed IL is far
beyond the power of the administration at
Washington to shake the edifice Of Mormondom
or TO tamper with the fidelity of the ever Loyal
subjects Of "the Church"
II is unfortunate for the reputation OF the Nor
mons that this outburst should have been ID
quickly followed by circumstances not exactly
calculated to confirm il. A few weeks ago We
noted the arrival in California of several parties
Youngs tyranny and quite recently we are in
formed that some sixty Of the same people hal
arrived at Fort Leavenworth, having left SaR
Lake City from the same reasons These facts
are not easily reconcied with the state of halcyon
felicity in which the NorwaTk orators would rep
resent their co-reiigionists of Utah nor can
mere assurances Of loyalty to "tbe Church" coun-
tervaD the practical evidences of discomfort af
forded by the escape of these fueitivcs
Brigham Young appears to have reached tina,
necessary dilemma in his career where he is
forced to choose between perilous inertia or ty-
rsnnical activity and, in electing the latter, he
thrusts his people into dilemma whether TO risk
their necks by standing by him, or rick their pro-
perty by deserving him. Things look as though
Brigham would not spare them the choice, and as
though they, like sensible men, would elect to
sacrifice the least valuable part of their posses,
sions-their farms and houses-and save their
nccks The events that are passing are full of
instruction for Colonel Cumming.
