A MORMON SENSATION.
The sons OF Joseph Smith propose to
dis-establish Brigham's pet lns;ttu-
tfOns.


A few days ago we mentioned the fact
that William Alexander and David Hy-
rum, the younger sons of Joseph Smith,
the Mormon Prophet. were on their way
TO Salt Lake City to set up the standard
of the re-organized or anti-poligamy
church. A singular interest attaches TO
the name of David Hyrum. A few
months before Joseph's death he stated
that "the man was not born who would
lead this people, but of Emma Smith
should be born son who would succeed
in the Presidency after season of dis
turbance." Joseph Smith was killed,
June 9th, 1874, and the son named
from his fathers direction David Hyrum,
was born at the Mansion House,in Nau.
VOC, on the 18th Of November. This
prophecy is secretly dear to thousands of
Mormons who are weary OF the tyrany
of Brigham young, and yet hold to their
faith in Joseph Smith. A few days ago
the young men reached Salt Lake City,
and soon called upon Brigham Young
and announced their intention to organ
ize their church at once, asking permits
sion to defend their faith in the Taber-
nacle, proposing 10 argue with the Brig
hamites from the original Mormon books
We have but scant reports of the IN
terview, but it is said to have been very
warm. Brigham was very angry ut
their presumption and denied them the
use of the Tabernacle, sending word at
the same time to the Bishops TO shut
them out of the ward meeting houses.
The brothers, at one point of the con-
versation, denied that their father ever
practiced poligamy, citing their mothers
testimony, to which Brigham retorted
that their mother "was q liar and had
been proven a thief" with much more of
the sort. Be it remembered that the Ia
dy thus spoken of is the Elecua Cyria,
or "Elect Lady of God" in Mormon
theology, who was like the glory Of their
early history. Like Pope Pagan, of the
Pilgrims Progress, Brigham doubtless
gnaws his nails in vain rage, that he can
not, as in former times let loose the VEN
geance of his Nauvoo Legion upon these
sectarians and crush the rebellion in
blood. If his power were now equal to
bis feelings we should have repeated the
story of the Morrisites, when high civ
il functionary of Utah led the Legion in
broad daylight to slaughter men and
women who had surrendered themselves
prisoners. But nothing more than petty
prosecutions will be attempted at this late
day, and we earnestly hope the young
men will succeed in their enterprise. OF
their religious principles as opposed to
Brighamism we know little but recognize
10 them tolerant men. good citizens and
!oYal subjects Of the United States.

THOMAS AND GRANT-AN ITEM OF
HIsToRY--Mr. Boynton, Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writes that it was General Grant that
procured the removal Of General Thomas
when there was SO much complaint that
be delayed attacking the rebels, shortly
before the battle of Nashville. When
Mr.. Lincoln received Grants letter re-
guessing the removal, he said to Mr..
Stanton that it was very bad business,
and he deeply regretted it. Finally, the
order was drawn up, but Cen. HaIleck,
on leave of Mr.. Stanton, held it back.
Mr.. Lincoln was so exercised about it
that he had Endorsed on the order for
removal that il was done at Gen. Grants
request. A few days after Gen. Halleck
pocketed the order, Gen. Thomas had
completed his preparations, moved upon
the rebels and defeated them most disas-
trously. As it is well known, the order,
so much talked of since, was never issued.
1t has been the received opinion that
Gen. Logan was to be the successor Of
Gen. Thomas. But Gen. Boynton says
that this was a mistake. +" According
to Gen. Halleck, the request of Grant
also specified Gen. Schofeld as the sue
cessor, and the order as finally written,
did designate him for the place. The
name of Gen. Logan did not at any
time come up in connection with the
change, either on the part of Grant or
the authorities at Washington, nor was
Gen. Schofield aware of the request made
by Grant Gen. Thomas friends--larger
now by many times than the great army
he commanded-will read this with in.

WANTED \ STATERooM.- Although
thu" flush times" have passed away on
the Mississippi they still have some queer
and sometimes rough customers on the
river boats. On a recent trip of the
HighfyeT, which was crowded with pas
sengers, the clerk had allotted the last
ststeroom and was about to close his of
fee, when he was as!onished by the ap-
partition of a tall Missourian who ex-
claimed:

''but our state rooms are al taken"

sour; "Tve paid my fare, N want one

"AIlow me to see your ticket" said
thA siill polite clerk.
Putting his hand to the back Of his
neck the passenger pulled out ten-inch
bowie knife, and diving it quiyering into
the counter, said:
I'm from Pike county, young Teller,
and thar's my ticket. | want one Of

Before the steel had ceased to vibrate
the prompt clerk quietly thrust loaded
anil capped six shooter under Pixies nose
and ooolIy answered:
"Tve only six chambers, and you see

The Missourian edged out of ''range"

THE SENSATION IN GOLD.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS IN New YORK
The New York papers of Friday give
graphic accounts of the scenes in Wall
street, at tn, stock and gold exchanges,
during the excitements of the corner in
gold and combination in stocks that have
heen going on for the past thee or four
days. The scenes Of Wednesday, it
would seem, were illustrated by greater
excitement even than on the previous
day, when the "street" was suddenly
startled by the rapid descent in the price
Of Central Railroad stock, and the equal
" rapid advance in the quotations Of
gold. The New York Times says:
"During the whole day, (ThursdayD
the gold room was the arena OF an up
roar that would only find its parallel in
previous scenes of similar kind in the
same loc lity. The bear party at times
seemed to be perfectly frantic while un-
dergoing punishment at The hands OF the
exultant and defiant bulls; and, as the
roar of battle and the screams Of the vic
TINS resounded through New street, it
seemed as though human nature was un
dergoing torment' worse than any that
Dante ever witnessed in hell. In stock
operations the day was hardly less excl
ting, and Central was of course the prin-
oipal point of interest, as it had heen on
the previous. The fluctuations we're less
violent than those of Wednesday, when
they covered twenty-three points, but
still they were sufficiently wide, (eighty-
three tt ninety-one,) as will be seen by
our regular stock report, to arouse ope-

CORN GOES UP AND COTTON
COMES DOWN.

Since the opening of the season cot,
ton has been pushed down stendily from
thirty-one and halfto twenty six cents
while corn has gone up to one dollar
and half per bushel. The first article,
which has hitherto commanded cash in
all the markets of the world, has been
hawked about our streets for week
past on a credit. while an order for
twenty-five bushels # corn could not
be filled for cash. The pres Of the
North has been Aattering our people
with the idea that they have more m"-
uey than anybody else, when in the in
land markets of this State currency
sufficient cannot be scraped together
for few wagon loads of cotton. 1t is
time that our planters were looking facts
in the face, and just such facts are re-
capitulated in the opening of this artl-
Gle. They are not rich They haven't
got any money, nor will they ever have
any to brag of until the present system
of agriculture iu the South is altered
1t is true that they ere beginning to

They are making some efforts to edu-
cate their sons, and are enabled to put

asks "who shall 60 to Congress in the

answers the question:

A DISTURBANCE IN ABBEvILLE.-
The Abbeville Press has the following
notice of a disturbance which took place
in that village on Monday last: "a
Mr. Il. G. Newly, fiom the lower part
of the district, who was under bond for
his appearance at court, and had come
up for th It purpose, was quietly seated
in the barber shop waiting to be shaved
when he was set upon by two of the
constabulury force with drawn pistols
and very roughly handled. Sustained
and supported by crowd of excited
blacks with raised clubs aud meaacing
words, these constables, with loaded
pistols at his head. for a, time put him

only forced to desist by the interven-
ton of Mr. Penn Gufin. As we have
said, the blacks "pitched in" to aid the

share imposed oD their neishbors. That
it is the duty of those in poN'er to slnl-
plify the taxes, and distribute them on
the property of the couutry-reduce the
tariff to a revenue basis, and thus re-
lease industry from its heaviest burdens
and give freedom to commerce.
That the proposed fifteenth amend
ment of the Radical majority in Con-
gress is in a spirit of contempt OF the
people and the rights of the States to
regulate the elective franchise and in
utter disregard of the pledges of the
party, and attempted to be forced upon
the States as condition of their return
to their representation, is intended to
place the question of suffrage in the
hands of the central powers and by de-
basing, to demoralize the representa-
tive system.

will again be successful, there can be
no doubt-that success, together with
the favorable issue of the elections that
have already taken place, as we'll as
others that soon will come off favorably
