Mr.. Buchanan's Administr att on-In suo-
ceses-Its Enemies and it, Supporter In
Congress-
With the closing Of the present session of
Congress we can begin TO comprehend what
has been accomplished within the first sixteen
months of Mr.. Buchanan's administration Its
practical results within this interval are
greater, better, more comprehensive, and more
decisive than all the work done by poor Pierce
and Fillmore put together. These results en-
brace the practical settlement Of the Mormon
question, the Kansas question, and the virtual
settlement not only Of our AngioICentrai
American embarrasments, but also of the right
of search In reference to the African slave
trade. The Mormon difficulty, the Kansas en-
tauglement, and the Central American imbrog
Ito, were among the lcgscies transferred to Mr..
Buchanan by Pierce and Fillmore; and IL was
generally conceded in the outset, that IL Mr..
Buchanan could bring these formidable and
compile ated troubles TO definite solution during
tunate.
The real origin Of the Mormon trouble was
the appointment of Brigham Young as Cover:
nor Of the Territory of Utah by Mr.. Fill
more. This was equivalent 10 the official
recognition of Mormon sovereignty, Mormon
polygamy and all attendant sbomina-
tons by the federal government But
this grave mistake Of Mr.. Fillmore might have
been readily corrected by bis immediate sue
cessor, In the dismissal of Young and his Nor.
mon subordinates in the Territorial executive
government, and in the substitution of discreet
and competent men. Mr.. Pierce, however, had
too many other irons In the fire; and, with the
failure Of little army movement TO Great Salt
Lake, Brigham Young was quietly left the alb
solute dictator Of the Territory. Thus en-
couraged and stimulated, the denominations OF
Mormondom ripened rapidly, so that when M.
Buchanan entered the White House be imme-
diately saw that nothing would he competent to
abate this Mormon nuisance but new corps OF
executive Territorial officers, under an escort of
a strong detachment OF the army. In thiscon-
nection our readers are familiar with the events

WASHINGTON, June II, 1885,
Gcaer Scott has received important ocsi dispatches
nom Utah. Ave days later than those received by hs Pre-
sde1t rom Governor Cumming, which have been pub

The dispatches state that the Mormous have deceived
Governor Cumming that there il no dispcslheu 10

their women and children from Salt Like CITY, The msa
had returned, strengthened their posts and assumed

too outrageous to last long. Such Schaferisms,

LATER FROM SALT LAKE CrY-THH NOR
MONS FoRrFYNG THEIR Posrs.-Despatohes
which have reached General Scott, and which
are said to be five days later in date than those
received by the President, bring us the an
nouncenent that the Aormons. after sending
away their women and children, had returned
to Salt Lake, and were fortifying their posts.
This, it should be recollected, is army news, and
as there is a difference of opinion between
Governor Cumming and General Johnston as to
the course to be pursued to bring these fanatics
to terms, il should be received with qua!idca-
ton. The letters that we have been lately re-
ceiving from the partisans of both have par
taken so largely of their respective views that
this reserve is justified. At the same time there
is nothing in this statement which is incon-
sistent either with the expectations Of
Governor Cumming or the policy AID de-
claratiOns of the Mormon leaders. In
certifying his chief points Of resistance
Brigham Young is only carrying out his
expressed intention of not suffering the army to
enter Salt Lake City, whilst his friendly recep-
ton of Governor Cumming would go to show
that he still hopes to effect d peaceable solution
of the difficulty. If this cannot be obtained on
favorable terms there is no doubt that he will
burn and destroy every vestige of the Mormon
settlements before proceeding southwark.
Whatever, however, may be the purpose Of the
Mormon leaders-whether they are sincere or
notin their professions to Governor Cumming
the Executive has but one course to pursue.
The military operations should be pushed for
ward with as much decision and vigor as if no
negotiations were on foot. The army should
proceed at once to Salt Lake City, and make
itself master of it without reference to the
threats of Brigham Young or his pretended
Difference to the civil power. 1t is only in
this way that the cunning tactics of the
Mormon leaders can be defeated, aud the
Territory promptly reduced to submission.

New GOLD DISCOvERES--It turns out that
there is after all truth in the stories which have
been circulated about the new discoveries of
gold on Frazer's river and several points on
the Pacific. There seems to be no reason to
doubt that ere long these new gold countries
will be adding their rivulet to the stream Of
precious metal which flows twice q month from
San Francisco to New York. The event may
possess considerable Importance. An addition
of twenty millions year to the gold product
of the United States would help the country
very materially 10 revivs from the effects Of

and ignorantly imagines that censure Of the

there Is but little direct analogy between rcli-

Is the acquisition Of landed property. All are,

demoralized. Religion, on the contrary, IL a
pure sentiment, planted in the breast Of man
