The Baltimore Police Com m IsSIOners
and the GOvernOr-The Radicals
Threaten FOrcibIe Resistance.
Concerning the Baltimore Police Com
mission matters the Herald special says:
1t is said that the Governor acknowledges
that injustice has been done by the Judges
at the recent election, and will take the
matter into serious consideration and act
prior to the, ,November'election. The Rad
icals are very much excited, and threaten
forciblc resistance in case the Commission
ers are removed. In view of the fact that
they are greatly in the minority here, they
threaten that aid will be obtained from
Pennsylvania. A bad feeling exists, which
may lead to more important disclosures
than those of local character.
Mormon Outrages on GentiIes.
A Herald LeavenwOrth, Kansas, special
says: The Denver News publishes tue
following extract from a private letter to
Captain Cochranc: "We learn that Mr..
Weston, editor of the Salt Lake Union
Vedette, was taken by the MOrmons on the
night of the 81 inst. and severely beaten,
aud given six hours to leave the city and
take with him several prominent Gentiles.
Mr.. Weston refuses to leave, and denounces
MOrmOuism in the bitterest terms. From
the frequent occurrence of Outrages by the
MOrmoms on the GenCiles, serious trouble
may be lOUkeu for"

More BOsh About Secret Societies.
A Herald New Orleans special says :
The Louisiana Radicals are teariully afraid
over the discovery by detectives of about
1000 stand of arms and four pieces of ar
tillery, which they claim belong to rebel
associations, but which in reality are the
property of the knights of Arabia, who
are believed to be lifting out an expedition.
Lieut.. Hardinge, of Shenandoah nOtOriety,
left New York on the Evening Star for
this point, with Others to complete the ar
rangement for sailing, but as he went down
in that ill-lated vessel it is probable the
expedition will be delayed.
New York Central Railroad.
The Heralds Albany special says: There
| was an important meeting of the directors
of the New York Central railroad held to-
day, at which the chief question of discus
sion was, who shall control this immense
corporation. 1t appears that deeply in
terested partners have run up the stock
| from 80 to 1l9, the latter being to-day's
| price. The entire capital stock Is $42000,-
600. The party technically known as the
''South Shore party" made up of Western
railroad men, held about SS,000,000 of the
stock, an express company some $4,000, 600,
and other parties other large
amounts. The point to be accomplished
is to so work the combinations of these
various holders of stock as to totally Oust
the present Board and give the control of
the direction to one set or party of them.
| 1t is absolutely necessary that this cours g
should be taken to avoid great and serious
losses. This struggle, embracing these
elements of strife, will be solved by the
election of either a temporary President,
to hold Office until December or by the
permanent election at that time. New can
didates for the Presidency have come to
the surface since [ last had occasion to in
vestigate the subject in September, among
whom are j. V. l.. Pruyn, Erastus Corn
| ing, Alonzo G. Paige, Commodore e. Van
| derbilt, and his son-in-law, Horace +. Clay,
and Cornelius l.. Tracy, of Troy.
