The ScuIsM IN THE MORMON CHGRCH.-Under the
head Of Mischief Brewing" the Salt Lake Ydette Of
June 26, states that conspiracy exists in Southern
Utah to throw Off the yoke of Brigham Young.
Anathemas and favoritism Of the The
Mormon people are tired of what they deem abuses.
Rumor says the break between Orson Pratt and 9TH
and Brigham Young is financial ind not doctrnal.
The church fund in the Bank of England had been
subject to Pratts order, and hitherto his checks had
been honored. Brigham shut down on Pratt hence
the difficulty Pratt has hasened home to consult the
saints. The funds are church funds, and Pratt says
Brigham is not the church.

The Past and Present.

History is full of contrasts which are at once curl
Gus and instructive. We will call readers atten.
ton to one: A little over half century ago one
Andrew Jackson then Major General commanding
the United States forces in and around New Orleans,
was served with process of Court, while foreign
foe still in the neighborlood of this city, and
arraigned before Judge Hall for supposed contempt.
The old Hero of the Hermitage" though made of
serner stuff than most men, had but little envy, the
vice of the republics, and yielded at to the
majesty Of law. It was at time when the passion
of men ran high. jackson the idol of the peo-
pie, and right wrong they were ready to sustain
him in any measure he might adopt. Under such cir
cumstances, the Judge, though he found his usri-
GUS prisoner guilty, yet hesitaed to assess the fine
which he considered due for he feared outburst of
popular indignation.
Thereupon the laurel.crowned hero-thc man of
iron w-arose and addressed the court in substance
as follows:
May it please the Court: This arm, which defen-
ded your beautiful city from the rapacty of foreign
foe is also ready to defend tbs court in the discharge
of its functions. Assess the fine. acknowledge the
supremacy Of civil oyer military poercr."
Need we add that the fine was assessed and paid.
Time rolled on and tythree years after this menu
orable event, Major General Of the United States
Army-a graduate of West Point who has high
distinction in the military service of the republic
not only removes Municipal but Executive and Judi
cia officers and in doing SO mpertinently boards the
President of the United States-the COMMANDMENT
Chief of our army and navy. Had his object been to
!" macadamise " a broad road over which military des-
pots could march to arbitrary power trampIng down
on their way the free institutions of the best govern
ment on earth he could not have laid his plans
adroty or gone nearer to the verge of grave insn
bordnation.
At such juncture in affairs all lovers OF their
country and its free institutions should ponder well
the historical contrast offered by two Major Generals
One recognises the complete supremacy of civil au-
thority; the other, while insubordinate to his superb
ors in command, commits fragrant outrage against
free institutions and free people As Webster said
in his Bunker Hill Monument speech, 'the military
must be kept according to the language Of bill of
rights, in strict subordnation to the civil authority
When this lesson is not both learned and practiced,
there can be no political freedom. Absurd, prepos-
ferrous, it sa scott and satire upon free forms Of
government to be prescribed by military leaders, and
the rights Of suffrage to be exercised at the point of
the sword" IN O. Times

Too Much GOLD IN EuRoPE.-The New York Jour
nal Of Commerce of the 21st utmo thus speaks Of the
plethora of gold in Europe:
A complaint is made of the accumulation of gold in
the Bank of England The rate OF interests reduced,
but nobody wants to borrow. There is a surplus of
coin beyond the wants of business equal to $40 OOO-
0o0 compared with the amount usually lying idle.
This condition contrasts strony with the state of
things one year ago, when the monetary system Of
England passing through serious crisis, and dis
counts difficult to obtain, even at the most ex-
orbitant rates. n May 1866 the stock of gold in the
Bank of England was only Ell 800, 600; now it is
nearly Ell 100000 say twice large. In fact it
is at present only little short of the maximum amount
Of specie which the bank has ever held.
The Bank of France exhibits similar condition
its stock of specie being at present less than e23,
800, goo, which is the maximum amount of specie
which that bank has ever held The London Globe
inquiries into the causes which have produced the
action and attributes the plethora Of gold to the
pension of industrial enterprise. The channels of
trade have been contracted that large amounts Of
capital longer required for business operations.
The foreign trade of England said to have declined
ten per cent since September last, compared with
corresponding months in the previous year; ontstoek
enterprise is stagnant; there new rail
WAYS or public improvements. In the money markets
of Europe, in the United States, there is tempo

TEsNEssEE.-The condition of affairs in Drownlow I
domnons is truly heartrending. Murder, arson ant
highway robbery the order of the day. The arcf
fend, traitor, thief and hcldeserying vagabond-the
Devils right bower-W. G. Brownow-has sent his
saddlecolored thiering militia into various counties
for, as he says, the purpose of keeping order bu,
really to intnidate annoy, harass, rob and murder
those who dare raise their voices against the perpe.
raton of his hellsh ourages. At Brownsville Bris-
toll and other points, where these ends stationed
the people are being robbed and murdered almost
daily, and many are fleeing from their homes to cs-
cape the insults and violence Of the incarnatc fends
Here is a specimen of their doings, which we clip
from the Chattanooga American:
1--WE understand that four negro recruits for Brown
lows militia got the train at Greenvlle on the East
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, last week, and
crowded themselves by force into the ladies' car
where they took their seats and commenced shouting
.Brownlow! The conductor, who had been Colonel
in the United States army, approached them and re-
quested their fare, when they refused to pay it, calling
him rebel, and saying they we're loyal militiamen,
going to Jonesborongh to be mustered into Captain
Grishams company. He attempted to pull the bell
rope to stop the train, when one of them presented
his bayonct to his breast and compelled him to desst
saying they would run the train to Jonesborough
They remained in the shouting for Brownlow, and
making themselves very obnoxious to the lady pas
sengers by their bosterous conduct until they arrived
at their destination"

MEMPHIS, July 23.-The cholera is decreasing here.
The president of the board of health states that no
cases have occurred in the vicinity where the Niehol-

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-Some time has
elapsed since l wrote you from Coshoc-
ton County. Every thing in this place
is prospecting finely; crops of all kinds
look we'll. There never was a better
prospect for fruit, especially peaches.
One orchard here with 2200 trees will
bear thousands of bushels. All kinds
of fruit promise an abundant yield.
Some of our Trumbull County friends

Longs, of Brook6eld. your county.
There we're shipped from this station
last year 10000 head of hogs, all raised
in this county, beside a large amount
of cattle, horses, mules and poultry
There are several families located here
from old Trumbull, all well pleased
with their new homes, with plenty of
every thing to make life comfortable.
If any of our Trumbull County friends
think differently, let them call and see
for themselves.
We have fish in abundance in the
Muskingum river. There was a little
boy fishing the other day, who caught
a pike weighing q pounds.
While writing and thinking of old
Trumbull county friends that have
made us a visit, and those that may
come, we have a warm feeling for them,
and will always remember them. Those
who sympathize with myself and fami-
ly, we shall remember as long As time

Minutes of last meeting read and APP
proved. The committee appointed at
last meeting to secure the printing of
a portion of the Code of Ethics in the
county papers, stated that they had
had a portion of the Code printed in
the Consultation, but that the editor of
the CHRONICLE was unwilling to print
it as reading matter, and the commit
tee did not feel warranted in paying
for it. DR.. Casper stated that he had
seen the editor of the Niles Register,
and he would also print such portions
of it as the Association desired. The
committee appointed to attend the
State Medical Society was called upon
for a report, which report was very brief
owing to the non-attendance of any of
the committee. DR.. NJ. c. Woodwork
was called upon for a verbal report of
the transactions Of the Pennsylvania
State Medical Society at their late
meeting in Pittsburgh, he being a del
egate to that Society from the Ohio
State Medical Society. The report wss
very interesting. At the suggestion
of DR.. L. K. Webster, he also read the
resolutions introduced by DR.. Stewart
of Erie and adopted by the State Soci
ETY. for the purpose of showing how
quackery in its various habiliments is
regarded by the profession in that
State. A request having been made
by members of the Crawford County
Society and Portage County Society,
that this Association send delegates to
their quarterly meeting, it was moved
and carried that three delegates be sp-
pointed to attend such society at their
next meeting. The chair appointed
Drs. R. P. Hays, A. Jones and NJ. C..
Woodwork to attend the Crawford
County Society, and Drs. D. B. Woods,
II. Beech and N. S. Clark the Portage
County Society.
1t was moved and carried that the
Secretary of this Society correspond
with the Secretary of the State MedI-
cal Society, to learn what steps are nee
essary for this Association to take that
it may become auxiliary to the State
organization. The chair appointed DR..
NJ. C. Woodworth to conduct the Sur
gical clinic, aud DR.. F. Casper to con-
duct the Medical clinic. DR.. Wood
worth read an extract from an address
made by DR.. Derby, at the Massschu
sets State Medical Society, showing
showing that the percentage of the
Confederate army that died from dis
ease to be much less than that of any
previous army. vas moved that the
Society hold an annual meeting, invi-
ting some member of the profession
from abroad ito deliver an address,
which after some remarks was carried.
Ii was also moved and carried that q
committee of three be appointed to Sc
sure a speaker to deliver the address
at the coming anniversary. The chair
appointed Drs. NJ S. Clark, NJ. G. Wood
worth and CT. Metcalf that commit
tee. DIR. J. Harmon then presented
Nj. W, a boy in blue, who was
wounded three years ago last Noyem-

SESSION.

Called TO order by the President
The case of Mr.. W was first in Or
der. The bullet was found at the
depth of seven inches from the exter-
nal opening. The attempt to remove
it by the bullet forceps at that distance
was unsuccessful. sohloroform was
then administered and the external
opening enlarged, bat all attempts TO
remove the bulle. were unsuccessful,
it being firmly impacted within the
bone, the instrument at hand not be-
ing adapted to the case. The wound
was dressed with the intention Of get
ting a proper instrument before next
meeting, and then removing the bull
let. DR.. Woodwork introduced a gem
tleman fo%rty-seyen years old affected
with general paralysis, affecting more
particularly the lower extremities.-
The paralysis came on quite suddenly
about three years ago. Lately he has
acquired more power over the lower
extremities, though still requiring the
aid of clutches in locomotion. DR.. Cas-
per presented a lady forty-eight years
old, With phropic rheumatism affecting
ali the joints She was taken about
seven years ago with inffammatory
rheumatism. Every joint of the body
is enlarged and very painful which
renders her nearly helpless. She oc-
casicnally suffers from severe attacks
Of dyspepsia. Or. II. Beech presented
a boy sixteen years old with chronic
Opthalmia. Was attacked thirteen
months ago with catarrhal opthalmis;
for the last seven months he has been
unable tosee suficientto 90 about with
out aid. The case illustrates the calam-
itous results that often follow, and
what all may expect who resort to
quack doctors by whatever name they
may please TO style themselves. A boy
with exostosis Of the hnmerus was
then presented. Advised All operation
for its removal. An old gentleman
was then brought before the society
gitk chronic oPthalmia of twelve years
