MoRMoNIsM.-We give elsewhere this morn

the progress of the schism in the Mormon

Central Railroad, which connects Mormondom
with the civilized world by rail, was completed
yesterday, and Brigham Young, with q des-
perate firmness worthy Of the condemned man
who adjusts the hangman's moose round his
own neck, drove in the last spike. The cele-
bration Of the event among the Mormons was
apparently as general as il the railroad open
ing were not deathblow to their peculiar in
stitution. Brigham Young, in his speech on
the occasion, said that Utah now wanted to be
admitted II the Union.

HERALD NEWS HOME FROM EURoPE.-An
English financial writer went on to prove
yesterday that by the difference in exchange
United States fve-twenty bonds at eighty-six
are s'really higher in price than British consols
at ninety-two." This matter is telegraphed to
us through the Atlantic cable. The news is
peculiarly at home in the columns Of the
HERALD, having been first published in our
financial article and editorial page a fortnight
since, or just at the moment this satisfactory
point Of monetary adjustment was attained.
The words Of the despatch are therefore quito
familiar to US, and we are glad to say that the
subject matter has not lost any Of its force in
consequence of its double fash through the
Atlantic cable and that it stands the electric
shocks excellently well.
GRAND CHANCE FOR THE STREET CoMMrs-
sIoNER AND MAYoR.-A parliamentary party
in France demands that Baron Haussmann,
late Prefect Of the Seine, the great 'sstreet
improver" of Paris, shall be indicted and
arraigned for trial. The occasion Of this pro-
secution will furnish grand opportunity for
the Street Commissioner Of New York to learn
what the Baron has accomplished, what he has
left undone, and how he came to ssswing
round the circle" and out Of 1t in Paris Mayor
Hall should deputs dozen or two Of the mem-
bers Of the Common Council and authorize
them to proceed to the French capital and
report the case for the benefit of our fellow
citizens. It don't matter If all the party should
not know French. They win "make the thing
out" between French, italian and Gaelic.
MISSISSIPPI LEvEEs. New York capitalists,
It is stated, have arranged to build levee
along the Arkansas shore of the Mississippi
river, and they have hit upon a good plan for
making the enterprise pay. They propose to y
make Q railroad bed of the levee, and construct
a good, substantial road along the line Of some
of the richest towns and plantations 10 Arkan-
sas. The plan might be carried out on tho
lower Mississippi, in the sugar planting dis
tricts of Louisiana, where the population and
soil are both richer than in Arkansas, but tho
levees would have to be built further back from
the water than heretofore, In order to guard
against the encroachme9ts Of the river.

Prison Labor.

We publish elsewhere an article on s'Prison
Labor" which deals with the question of the
utility and benefit of the present system Of
letting out the labor of convicts to contractors.
From the evidence exhibited there can be
little doubt that great mistake is made ip
allowing the fruits Of penitentiary labor to go
into the pockets Of few private monopoiists
when the State, or, in other words, the people
who pay the taxes, could, under different
management, have their burdens considerably
lightened and the sum total of the amount
they are called upon annually to pay might be
reduced by many hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars. In the instance of Clinton Prison,
where no contract system of labor prevails, it
is seen that the State, which is it's own
employer, is gradually achieving revenue
which sustains the expenses of the institution
and leaves an ever increasing margin Of profit
behind. No better argument than this is
needed to prove that the contract system
is an entire failure-that it has been tried
to the fullest extent and found wanting
Sing Sing and Auburn are not self-sustaining
by any means; but we find that particular
branches of labor in the former which are
managed directly by the State, as the lime
kilns and quarries, pay handsomely, while the
work Of the contractors, side by side in the
table of statistics, exhibits painful deficiency
of revenue. Again, 1t appears that the marble
quarry, which under the contract system,
with one hundred men at work, returned an
average Of one thousand dollars monthly
earnings, now, under the altered management
and with slight additional increase Of labor,
turns into the treasury the satisfactory sum Of
six thousand dollars. 1t is hardly necessary
to quote any stronger argument in favor of the
State employing and utilizing the labor OF its
own convicts, and we trust the Legislature
will take notice Of the matter in practical
and serious spirit. Why should the people be
called upon to pay over one hundred thousand
dollars of deficiency to the prison Of
Sing Sing when there is such incontestable
proof in the case just mentioned and in that Of
Clinton Prison, that the abolition of the con-
tract system, which was seemingly designed to
enrich q few private parties, has been accom-
mentioned in the article alluded to. OF course
it should be the aim Of those who are author
lied to make the reforms called for that the
State enter not into injurious competition with
honest industry. Fears on this head are, per-
haps, more exaggerated than real, and labor
unions are apt to see q greater bugbear in the
subject than is wsrranted by the facts. The
Legislature, in considering the matter from the
standpoint Of common sense, can reach no
other conclusion than that penitentiaries
where the product Of the conyicts labor goes
in brief time to enrich beyond precedent the
fortunes of few contractors can be made
equally available in swelling the revenues Of
the State and rdding the people Of unneces-
sary taxation.

TIE BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN POSSESSIONS
AND THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. Senator Corbett
offered resolution in the United States Senate
yesterday providing for the annexation of Bri-
tish Columbia, and movement is believed to
be on foot to annex the whole Of the British
North American possessions. General Grant
seems inclined to take the advice the HERALD
gave him some time ago and accept the New
Dominion and the outlying provinces in liqui-
dation of the Alabama claims.

VIRGINIA.-A sharp fight was made in the
House yesterday for the admission Of Virginia.
It came within one vote Of being successful,
and the opponents Of admission only saved
themselves by superior flibustering In the
Senate the bill was taken up and discussed

Nor A PRIVATE MATTER. was COM
mitted in this city on Sunday an act of un-
common barbarity. in the mutilaion of a
father by the teeth Of his son; but no one
gets punished for it, and the instruction hence
to the masses is that our laws afford complete
immunity to such offences The son was ar
rested, but was subsequently discharged be-
cause the father refused to appear against him.
Just here is the great error. No magistrate ia
justified In dismissing such case. If the
father did not appear it is the magistrates
duty to send for him and hold the offender till
he gets him. The public peace and the moral
sense Of the community are involved in such
cases, and great evil is done every time such
an offender goes unpunished.

Our ST. DOMINGO CORRESPONDENCE. E.-The
letter which we publish in another part Of the
HERALD will be read with interest. II shows
that there is determined hostility on the part
of the representatives Of European monarchies
to the project of the United States obtaining
even the slightest fccthold in the West Indies.
The British Barkis in St. Domingo is willing
that this rich and fruitful island should remain
as it is, the prey Of conflicting partisans and
native military chiefs, rather than that it should
become, under the protection of the American
flag, rich, prosperous and peaceful territory.
Indeed, her British Majesty's agent has gone
so far, according to our correspondent, as to
enter into conspiracy for the overthrow Of
President Baez. We should like to know il
his action is endorsed by the home govern
ment. However, whether there is opposition
or no, these islands must come into the possess
sion of the United States, Notwithstanding the
plotting and planning Of foreign agents to the
contrary. 1k4

VIVA. she Oldest Iuhalisaat says, :


We called on the Oldest inhabitant the other
day for any facts he might have kept in mind
Of the condition of the river in former years
by comparison with its condition now. The
old gentleman has come out very handsomely
with his record Of forty-two winters, whose
SHOWS, we trust, sit lightly on his head. We
find in his statistics that it is not by any means
an unprecedented thing for the river to be open
all the way to Albany at this season, but we
also find some things that may be Of greater
profit to keep in mind than this isolated fact.
It Is clear by the record that when the river Is
open in January we have not much to appre-
hend Of subsequent severity Of the winter.
Note this, extortionate coal dealers. All the
winters in which the river is noted as open in
this month are set down emphatically as ''mild
winters" with only one exception. In fact
the rule Is so general that we may almost put
down an open river In January as the oharac-
teristic sign of mild winter for this vicinity.
There is only the exception Of ISO9-1O, in
which year the winter was remarkably mild
till January 49," at which date the river closed
and from which time the winter was "severe."
For fourteen winters the river was open In
January, and twice did not close at all till
February. II was closed in December In
twenty-three winters and in November In four
winters. The rule Of the river, then, as drawn
from the observation of forty-two years, is that
for seasons of ordinary or great severity it
closes In December and remains closed, and in
seasons of exceptionally cold weather 1t may
close in November, while moderate seasons
commonly see it open as late as January and
sometimes as late as February; and it's re-
naming open as late as January is a sign from
which we may safely infer that the season will
be mild throughout.

GENERAL Cox's CAsE-AN AUTHORIZED YER
BIoN.-The correspondence relative to the
NcGarrahan claims, which is supposed to
have caused the resignation of Secretary Cox,
as published else where in our paper this
morning, as well as an authorized statement
regarding the other matters that are con-
pected in popular opinion with the resigna-
tion. 1t would appear from these that
General Grant requested Secretary Cox to
withhold his signature from the land patents
IN the McGarrahan case in order that Con-
Eress might take action upon it, especially as
it had been the subject Of deliberation under
the previous administration. At this sugges-
hon General Cox appears to have become
Very much nettled, and to have threatened
resignation unless he could do as he liked In
ethe matter, and, the President offering no
objection, his resignation was rendered and
accepted.

The Other Side of the story.

One public scold having spoken loudly,
iercely, viciously, the party assaIled i cxs-
pected, of course, to reply. SO the World
responds to the Iri6upes attack ell about
Geographic news and the Associated Press,
and theft and felony, and all that, in terri
bic passion of language. The Tribune and
the Wor3d, it appears, cannot agree upon the
point as to who steals the others dispatches
who ''pads" them and who "dumps" them,
and so forth. These are matters with which
the public have very little concern, and we do
not suppose they care straw about it. If
these papers have any soiled linen TO wash
they should hang it up in some retired quarter
where it will not offend the public vision If
they needs must pelt each other with de-
moralized eggs they should not select the
public highway for that kind of combat, but
should withdraw into some quiet cerner and
there bespatter themselves to their hearts
content.
The contest now going on between these
two journals can only serve to make them
ridiculous before the whole country and espe-
cially the country press. The World threatens
to tell tales out Of school for the purpose of
infiicting vengeance upon the Tribune by
publishing the proceedings of meeting of
the Associated Press. We fancy that the
more quiet the proceedings of the association
are kept the better for these belligerent Jour-
mails. Now there is a very easy remedy for all
this bother. Let special dispatches to one
paper, If used by another, be fairly credited to
the journal to which they belong. That will
settle the difficulty. AS for ourselves, as one
of the Associated Press, we are quite willing
to accede to such an arrangement. Probably
nearly two-thirds of the special dispatches
used In common under the present rule are
our property. They come from our CORE
spondents, and we do not get them for nothing.
We are ready to give credit to every paper for
all their special dispatches which we may use,
provided that they do likewise for us. That is
all we ask. As for the morning papers which
copy our special despatches-the interview of
our correspondent with Chargarnier for in
stance-one day behind, we care very little
whether they give us credit or not; or if they
do the same with the important interview of
our correspondent with Napoleon, in our
columns te-day, we shall not grumble. How
ever, if the Tribune and the World are deter
mined to carry on this silly controversy, we
suppose it must be because, now that the cleo
lions are over, they have nothing more impor-
tant to interest their readers with. For our
own part we renew the proposition, in which
we are sure to have the concurrence Of the
public-that the embargo which now, by the
rules of the association, exists on newspaper
enterprise be removed, leaving to each paper
The right to obtain intelligence at its own
expense and for its own exclusive use.
