when Senator Ross had the 'little unpleasant

SION OF the Senate closed, he threatened that he
would not visit the White House again. adding that
he had no favors to ask. II seems however that he

several little matters TO be fixed at Washington.
Yesterday he made his appearance at the

Farmers. Beware !

Under the infamous Radical reve-
nue. law the farmer is not allowed
to entertain or keep over night
any traveller or travellers and take
compensation therefor. In the good
old times of the Democracy, any far
mer could open his house and make
the weary traveller comfortable with
out having Federal spy to insinuate
an inquisition; but times haye changed
sadly changed. Ulysses is our Pres
ident, and although he rolls his White
House over the country on wheels
accepting the free gifts of all those
who expect remunerating offices, the
farmer must be inhospitable in his
conduct, and turn the cold shoulder
to traveller, unless he can afford to
entertain him for nothing. Such is
Radicalism. Therefore, we saw. far
mers, beware; you know not the min
ute nor the hour that an Abolition
SPY may pounee upon yea Vincennes
The above is the kind of garbage
upon which the Sun feeds the Demo.

SALT LAKE CRY, Sept. 10.
This morning broke brightly after
the storm of yesterday. The glory
of this unique city is ins.its grand
mountains, bold range of the Wah-
satch rising on the east side of the
town, and beyond the Jordan on the
west a bluff headland standing out
prominently on the Lake, and long
line Of snowy peaks recede far inland
along up the river and opposite the
city. The early dawn and then the
run rise OF these two opposing spurs
of the Wahsatoh Range, as seen from
the valley of the city, will to me be
memory of lifetime. 1t was the
great Creators glorious ushering in of
the Sabbath of rest and worship.
Visitors to the Pacific usually en-
deavor to place themselves in the
City of the Saints for the Sabbath,
especially that they may see the Nor
mon religious services In their great
Tabernacle. Without this expert
enee, we can only imperfectly compre-
bend the influences which mould the
character and control the lives Of this
people. Two general services are
held during the day, one in the fore
noon, in the old Tabernacle, and the
other In the afternoon, In the new
Tabernacle. And besides these. each
bishop holds a service at night In the
respective ward, CT district, meeting
houses.
A walk about the city before the
morning meeting found the stores
and shops all closed, and real Sab.
bath quiet prevailing. The Gentle
drinking saloons were probably ac-
oesslble, but they were not open, and
the only sign of business was the
open door of fruit and news stand
and the Postotice. The morning
meeting at the Old Tabernacle, which
I attended, is the less important one.
and not largely attended, and with
services of similar character to that of
the afternoon meeting, and need not.
therefore, be described. In the after
noon, at o'clock, the services in the
New Tabernacle begins. AT an early
hour hocks of people may be seen
moving from all parts of the city In
that direction. The building has no
parallel IN It's shape and construc-
ton. as far as have ever heard. It is
oblong on its ground plan, with round
ed corners, two hundred and fifty feet
long by one hundred and fifty feet
IN width. The roof is supported

BURLEIGH, the reliable New York
correspondent of the Boston Journal,
says the story IN circulation alleging
a defalcation in the Methodist Book
Concern was not altogether without
foundation, but was sensational and
very unfair, as it clouded all the
present officers of the Concern. and
many of the eminent men who have
been connected with it for years. He
gives the following as the true state
of the case: 1.-Two parties, who have
charge of the publishing department.,
have been in the habit Of receiving
a per centage of five per cent. on all
the sales In the department, and dur
ing the term of years the revenue must
have been enormous. One Of the
parties is the son of gentleman long
connected with the publishing depart
ment." 1t may be proper to say that
even BURLEIGH's version of the facts
is denied by the parties charged
with the offenso, who assert that they
will be able to prove that no defalca
ton whatever has occurred. and that
nobody connected with the establish
ment has made any money out of it..

THE New York Times seems to be
confident that the present gold infa-
ton cannot be of long duration, even
if left to the operation of the common
law of trade. The reasons for this
opinion are four: First. We have ex-
ported 100000 less thus far this
year than we did during the CORES
pouding period Of last year, while our
production of the precious metal has
been fully as great as last year.
Second. Exchange is now 4 per cent.
below the point at which gold can be
proftably exported. Third. four
enormous crops of cereals and cotton
will soon be on the market, and sup
ply all the exchange wanted without
shipping any gold this Autumn or
Winter. Fourth. The gold interest
due from the Government during the
nezt shree months is nearly $50, OO0,-
