ty of the Mormon militia, and places the
number of men enrolled at 25, 600, but not
more than one-fourth of these would be
serviceable in actual warfare. The force,
however, is badly organized and poorly
equipped. There is . mormon Temple"

It is believed by republicans that the adop-
tion of the fifteenth amendment will add
1000 colored men to the voting popu-
lation of Missouri. 1t may be calculated,
therefore, that the amendment will add TWEEN
ty-five thousand to the voting population OF
Maryland, as in 1869, the colored population
of the State amounted to 172.l3i. OF
these nearly ono-half were free, s3,942
being free, and 81, 1877 slaves. In Baltimore
the colorcd population has largely increased
since the war, the tendency being to gather

The Fundamental Conditions
of her Re-Admissien.
Letter of Hon. VIM. Lawrence, NO.

TOur communication, to which that below Is
a reply, has been totally and completely mis-
apprehended by Judge Lawrence. In 1t we
meant to say: ''We see you hesitated to admit
Virginia, unconditionally your hesitation,
"after the examples of Tennessee and Geor-
"gia. is reasonable and just; but since the
House has voted against you, we recall
"to your remembrance the consolation that
"by. the authority and duty of guaranteeing
"a Republican form Of Government, Con-
"gress can check Virginia, If she proceeds
"to do injury to her citizens"
Therefore, when we fnd the Judge ad-
ministering so severe but SO just castiga-
tion to what be supposed to be our position
on the question, we can only say that
not word of his repoof applies to US But
it does admirably refute the ideas of
those Republicans who have sought, under
whip and spur, charging "the Policy Of
Vengeance" ON all who stood In their way,
to hurry back the Southern rebels, individu-
ally, and as State organizations, into power.
We print the letter, therefore, with this
statement and simply remark that we can
see no reason why 1t would not be correct
ly addressed, if endorsed "to the Hon.
Horace Greeley, Tribune Office, New York. :"
1t is proper, also, to remark that subse-
quently to the writing Of the Judges letter,
the House agreed to the Senate's conditions,
and by the full vote of the Republican ma
jority, endorsed the arguments he advances.
