About the NIOrmOns.

From tie ". Y. World.
The telegraphic news which reaches us from
Utah is often startling but seldom trust
worthy. One time we are told that the
"Saints" were at lOggerheads, and number
of them had been read out of the Mormon
Church by Brigham Young himself. Subse-
quent accounts by mail failed to confirm the
story. On Friday last another story was
telegraphed, equally startling and, as we have
no doubt the event will prove, equally un-
truthful. 1t was to the effect that the Nor
mon elders We're making speeches stirring up
sedition, and boasting that they would not
obey the laws OF Congress. These stories, of
course, come from the "Gentiles," " who, living
among the Mormons, and not admitted to
their social life, hate the "Saints" intensely.
1t is from this adverse and angry minority
that the people of the country get their i'm
pressions Of the Mormons.
Some time or other this Mormon question
will come up for settlement, and it is, there
fore, desirable that the public mind should not
be bedeviled by the inventions of their per-
sOnsl enemies. Leaving out of view polygamy,
the leaders of this strange sect must be credited
with some good and even wonderful exploits.
They have taken the most degraded pOpula-
tion of Great Britain, the Welch miners and
English laborers, have trained them into ways
of thrift sobriety, cleanliness and a certain kind
of intelligence. They have literally changed
a desert into a garden, and soon an opulent
State will appear in what but few years
since was bowling wilderness. For the pre-
sent we ought to let the Mormons alone.
They are helping to populate thinly settled
section with hard-worBing and intelligently
directed people. We can safely trust to time
and a sufficiently large Gentle population to
rid us of polygamy; but in the interim let us
close our ears against the stories of their per-
sonal enemies.

Tightening the shin.


From The ~ y World.
The Republicans are acting like mariners in
a heavy tempest, who pitch overheard a great
part of their cargo to save the ship and crew.
The first bale of freight tumbled into the sea
was the liquor law in Massachusetts,. All the
prohibitory laws in that State have been Re-
publican measures, advocated by Republican
popers and stump-speakers, passed by Repub-
lcan legislatures, executed by Republican
constables, and opposed by Democratic
speeches, votes, lawsuits, invective, and rid-
cule. But the Republican State Convention,
warned by the sudden fall of the barometer,
have declared that the Republican party must
not be considered responsible for the liquor
law; trying to save their ship by heaving it
over, with some dim hope that it will float of
itself.
The next valuable piece of freight that is to
be flung into the devOuring waves is the Con-
stitutional Convention of this State. The
calling Of the Convention was a Republican
movement. No Democrat desired or favored
it. But since the Maine and California cleo
tions, the Convention is seen to be too heavy
for the Republican ship, and although it has
been decided by a caucus not to sacrifice it,
it is nevertheless certain to go. The vessel
careens so dangerously when this heavy in
cumbrance is carried to the edge of the deck,
that there is nearly as much peril in casting
it over as keeping it on board; but over it will
60, even if at the stern. 1t is load the Re-
publican party cannot carry in the present
emergency.
Even that precious part of the cargo, negro
suffrage in this State, must 60 where Jonah
went in the voyage to Ninevah but it is
doubtful if any compassionate monster will
give it subaqueous passage and vomit it up
on dry land. 1t may be said that negro suf-
frage will be necessarily lost with the failure
of the Convention. But this is not so. The
article containing it was long ago completed,
and the Democrats will generously propose to
submit it at once as a separate amendment.
In the stress ofpolitical weather the Republi-
cans will not dare to do this, so urgent is
their necessity of tightening the ship. They
WILL Of course, contrive all sorts of plausible
excuses; but whatever may be their excuses
for not submitting it, the real reason will be
that they are scared by the certainty of its
defeat.
The impeachment of President Johnson is
another part of the Republican cargo that is
destined to 60 overheard. Although the Pre-
sident has more boldly confronted and defed
them since Congress adjourned than ever
before, we shall hear little more about his i'm
peachment and that little will be fainter and
fainter. The party is getting seriously alarmed,
and the more discreet of its journals are warn
ing and exhorting it against raising or reviving
any issues on which the party is not unit.
All such warnings are, of course, signal-gun
of distress.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-09-24

in the continuance of peace may revive a
little with the approach of winter. But the
prospect of business generally in Europe be-
coming very brisk is not encouraging. Great
Britain has more expensive national enter
prises on foot than usual. There is still con-
siderable discomfort in Ireland. The war
against Abyssinia is just beginning. Then
british capital is retreating from all quarters
of the world in which there is any sign of dis
turbanoe.
In France the Notifications at Strasbourg
are being strengthened. The Luxembourg and
the Danish questions have not been settled
satisfactorily to the Emperor Napoleon, and
occasional reports regarding their reopening
find ready credence. A conference between
the King of Prussia and the Emperor and EN-
press of France and the sovereigns of North
Germany has been called. The Roman ques-
ton still presses towards a solution which
it seems difficult to reach peacefully. There
is an insurrection in Spain. Russia is arm
ing. Preparations are being made for rising
in Bulgaria to drive the Turks out of Europe.
All these, and many similar indications of
coming trouble, added to the war in South
America and difficulties in distractions to
trade in other parts of the world, drive capi-
tai into the Bank of England, and must retain
most OF the surplus there for some time to
come. The people of Great Britain and the
Continent generally are not disposed to en-
gage III any sPeVuIatIOna az PieeehI, Vno lulute
is uncertain, and they have taken in sail in
view of the cloud of war in the distance
The only good outlet for the surplus capital
of Europe is this country. Here there is no
danger of war. Our natural resources are un-
bounded, and we could give profitable en-
ployment to far more money than we are
likely to obtain from any quarter. If the
present threatening aspect of affairs on the
other side of the Atlantic continues, we may
hope to receive large influx of foreign
capital.

Of work, we do not know. But would it not
be well If they induced a combined effort to
raise the business into more prominence than
it enjoys at present There is nothing to pre-
vent the compilation Of an inexpensive manual
which all the offices could circulate, for in
stance. The table before us does not contain
the kind of information which is most useful
to them, or those whose support they endeavOr
to gain. The information that would be useful
should be within reach of the Chamber, and
may be presented in such form that readers
will be attracted, and business consequently
increased.

The RecOnstructiOn Generals at Wash

F.o,n "a N. y. Hernld.
From The ". Y. Herald.

From Ute ", Y, Herald.
The presence of Generals Sheridan, Sickles,
and Hancock in Washington, in obedience to a
call from General Grant, puzzles the polit-
clans. The radicals, however, think it a good
sign, while the COpperheads are apprehensive
of mischief from it, in widening the breach
between them and General Grant. We dare
say, however, that the General-in-C Chief,
charged with the practical direction OF all this
business of Southern reconstruction, has sim
ply called these subordinate Generals to Wash
ington to give him all the information which
they possess on the subject, and that in the
interval to the reassembling of Congress the
work will go on quietly in the South, and
that, with the meeting of the two houses,
General Grant will submit to them a report on
the progress of reconstruction which will be
satisfactory to the country, though not, per-
haps, entirely satisfactory to the impeachment
radicals.

Ths Next Presidency In a Commercial


View
From the ~ Y. Herald
The London Times, in labored exposition
of the present aspects of the conflict between
our President and Congress, comes at last to
the conclusion that as the success of the
Republican party in the approaching Presden
tial. election is a sure thing, "the final choice
of candidates will be a matter of scarcely less
interest here lin England) than on the other
side of the Atlantic;' and that "the sooner the
country is completely settled the better it will
be for the rest of the world, if only for COM
mercal oonsiderations.' Now, while these
Commercial considerations" are well put,
inasmueh as the delay of settlement of this
work of reconstruction involves to the United
States commercial loss or gain of some two
OF three hundred millions year, our English
contemporary is, perhaps, a little too fast in
assuming that our coming Presidential election
is sure thing for the Republican party as 1t
