RED RITER EXPEDITION.

The Red River expedition moves very
slowly and with considerable difficulty
There is a good deal of division about it
in the Canadas, and some bad blood has
been engendered A Tribune cores
pendent at Ottawa says:
The force has been very badly differed,
all the grades being filed by political friends
and relatives of ministers. The job of get
ting to Fort William turns out rather more
difficult than was first believed. The expedi-
ton which was to have been at Fort Garry on
the Queens birthday may count itself thrice
fortunate if, in its entirety, it celebrates the
Fourth of July at Fort William. What with
delays, bad roads, and Encouragement, they
are not likely to trouble Riel before October.
That illustrious potentate does not seem to
trouble himself much about matters, but goes
on, confiscating, legislating, and appointing
as if he had lifc-lease of Manitoba. Your
readers may quake to hear that President
Re has discovered by an atlas-which, with
some household furniture, bed linen, and
damask curtains, he contiscated from Gov.
McDougall-that the United States boundary
line cuts off some Canadian territory at Lake
of the Woods. The President of Manitoba
has therefore declared that justice must be
done in the premises, or else he will muster
his standing army of 80 men and march upon
Washington. By the way, the North West
will be formally annexed to Canada on the
3oth of June, by royal proclamation.
Closely allied with political matters is the
illness of Sir John A. Macdonald. He still
lies at his office very weak, and though the
public bulletins announce his improving state,
he is really no better. His attendants dare
not administer solid food for fear of inducing
a return of the inflammation, and the heat tells
severely upon him, broken up as is his con-
stitution. The slightest turn would be sure
to be followed by fatal results, and, practical
ly, hope has been abandoned of his recovery.
In event of his DEATH an alliance would be
formed between the Quebec conservatives led
by Cartier, and the Ontario opposition under
Mackenzie.
The withdrawal of English troops and mu-
nitions of war, although for few days de-
layed by the raid, goes steadily on, and by
the 1st Of August there will not be one red
coat in Canada. Prince Arthur and his regi-
ment were to have left on the 3lst. The
Tory Press is intensely disguised and alarm
ed, and whines that we cannot defend our
selves, and should not be expected to defend
ourselves, and that well be ID before we
defend ourselves, and know not what. New
ertheless the exodus of the troops continues.

REORGANIZED MORMONISlf.
AU q u 8 II "A,
FRIDAY MORNING. June 9, 1870.

The last wonder brought to our notice is
a copy of Memorial 10 Congress" from
committee of reorganized Mormons,
now holding convention at Plano, Hi
nois, in which the 10 Smith schismatics
undertake to prove that polygamy is con-
trary to the teachings of the Book of Nor
mon as well as the Bible. This must be
as startling to Brigham Young and his fol-
lowers as it is surprising to the Gentiles
who are net learned in Mormon theology.
The most distant thing probably which the
Prophet anticipated was to have the Nor
mon record offaith flung in his face. Our
memorialists give him the following shot
from his own gun. In the Book of Nor
men, Jacob II, G, is the following
Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and
hearken to the word of the Lord; for there
shall not any man among you have save it
be one wife; and concubincs he shall have
none" II that is not square edged de-
claration in favor of monogamy we should
like to know why not. SO far, good for
the Book of Mormon, and very bad for
Brigham. Again our memorialists copy
from the Doctrine and Covenants what
ever that may be, as follows: Thou shalt
love thy wife with all thy heart, and shall
cleave unto her and none else and he that
looketh upon a woman to lust after her,
shall deny the faith" This is eurely good
strong doctrine in favor OF one wife, but
as ii it was not enough, here is another of
the same sort: And again say unto you,
that whose forbidden to marry. is not Or
dainea a God for marriage is ordained of
God unto man; wherefore it is lawful that
he shonid have one wife, and they twain
shall be one flesh OF course after read
ing these things one would like to know
how in the face Of them Brigham Young
upholds the sacredness of polygamy ac-
cording to Mormon, and ventures to prac-
fice upon 1t by taking to himself "a small
colony of wives.
This the memorialists undertake to un-
fold. They say that the Church of the
Latter bay Saints. in its beginning, under
the direction of President Smith, recog-
nized no such institution as polygamy.
The poiygamists, however, maintain that il

In the second volume of his work, now in

gives the following in regard to his first in
terview with Gen. Grant:
81 was never so much disappointed in my
life, in my previously formed opinions, of
either the personal appearance or bearing of
any one about whom had read and heard so
much. The disappointment, moreover, was
in every respect favorable and agreeable. !
was instantly struck with the great simplicity
and perfect naturalness of his manners, and
the entire absence of everything like affecta-
ton, show, or even the usual military air or
mein of men in his position. He was plainly
attired, sitting in log. cabin. busly writing on
a small table, by kerosene lamp. twas night
when we arrived. There was nothing in his
appearance or surroundings which indicated
his official rank. There were neither guards nor
aids about him. Upon Colonel Babcock's rap
ping at his door the response "Come in" was
given by himself, in tone of voice and with
a cadence which | can never forget. His con-
versation was easy and fluent, without the
least effort or restraint In this, nothing was
so closely noticed by me as the point and
terseness with which he expressed whatever
he said. He did not seem either to court or
avoid conversation, but whenever he did
speak, what he said was directly to the point,
and covered the whole matter in few words.
l saw before being with him long that he was
exceedingly quick in perception and direct in
purpose, with vast deal more of brains than
tongue, as ready as that was at his command

IRISH LAND BILL.

The Irish Land Bill, which has passed
the House of Commons, is a measure that
holds out hope of improving the condition
of Irish tenants. 1t gives to the Irish
tenant the right to his crops and improve
ments. These have always belonged to
him by the letter of the law, but the privi-
lege which landlords have had of increas-
ing rents exorbitantly, or annulling leases
without notice gave them complete power
over the tenants. By this law the tenants
rights to buy the land or to sell his i'm
provements on "notice to quit" are settled.
Interference with the domestic affairs or
religious or political concerns of a tenant
are also prohibited. The arbitrary pow
ers of the landlord are abridged; the
rights of the tenant are enlarged. SO
deep, seated however, is Irish hatred of
English oppression that it is difficult for
Irishmen to appreciate a measure for their
benefit by Parliament.
