THE Utah TRIALS.

The dispatches and letters from Utah which
we publish to-day indicate steady and sure
progress of the proceedings recently initiated
against the Mormon leaders for pOlygamy and
disregard of National and Territorial law. Up
to Saturday the action of the Grand Jury was
supposed to have been directed wholly to the
punishment of Brigham Young and his asso-
ciates for the infraction Of the Territorial
statute making punishable "lascivious CO.
"habition with several women; )" but, to the sur
prise of the Salt Lake people, Henry W. Law
renee one of the leading dissenters from
Brigham Youngs Church, was at the same
time arrested with George Q. Cannon, the
editor of The Deseret Ners, and the principal
spokesman for Brigham Young
This very prudent as well as very just pro-
cedure on the part of the Grand Jury will
rob the Mormon leaders of their principal cry
of persecution;" for now here Is indicted,
arrested, and held for appearance. beside one
of the leading apostles, gentleman opposed
to the Mormon Church; and what makes the
occurrence still moro interesting and very sig
nifcant is the fact that Mr.. Harrison, the as-
sociate of Godbe, was a member of the Grand
Jury that indicted the wealthest man of the
Liberal movement and his own close personal
friend. This arrest of Lawrence shows the
determination of the Court to deal with
poygamy in a spirit of fairness. Mr.. Lawrence
is only the husband of two wives, and is o
proper person to be the first dealt with, as he
has wealth that can procure the best legal de-
fense and test the constitutionality of the
law but it is great pity that Mr. Godbe
Io1 Cot for ha wit
four wives, would have been a still better
subject to have appeared in court by the
side of the aged prophet and patriarch.
The reported "incendiary talk" of Macken-
zic. the private secretary of Brigham Young,
has the significance of being a reflection of
Brigham himself, as every one familiar with
Mormon discipline knows that no one has any
liberty to express q personal opinion upon a
matter that affects this people. Whatever he
has threatened was said for o purpose; but
with the knowledge of the recent Rebellion in
his mind, Young cannot be 80 insane as to
mean moro than the continuance of that policy
of bravado which he has always found 80
effective.
After the arrival of the United States troops
in Utah in 1853 and the successful establish
ment Of q new Governor over the Territory,
and new Federal officers to administer law,
Brigham Young confessed that all his warllke
speeches and assembling of troops in Echo
Canon were only for effect. 1t is to be hoped
that the present food of injudicious eloquence
has no other meaning. If however, the sed-
tious language continues to threaten the pub
lie peace it might require the attention of
Gov. Woods and Judge Mexican.

are of the new era; they were impossible in
the oden time; and let no man therefore de-
eide that these fungi have no use but to e1-

some wholesome lesson for those who shall
come after. And even now, while we laugh
at Tweed's clumsy ignorance in adopting the
armorial bearings of a marquis, at Murphy's
pretending to write letters which he can
scarcely read, at Fisk's burlesque Of gentle

btion of these creatures of a day shows US

.JT,ST A WORD.

That our next Legislature will be Repubi-
can. we cannot doubt; that it will be anti
Ring we regret to say, is not nearly
tain. Nearly every rotten rascal in our party
is seeking legislative nomination, in the evil
dent belief that our Municipal thieves will
badly need dozen Republican votes next
Winter, and will be constrained to pay fancy
prices for them. 1t seems to be understood
that Republicans "On the make" will have
such chances in either House next Winter as
never before were and are not likely to be
again.
Now we cannot name these villains separ-
ately, and characterize them as they deserve,
because we cannot prove what is yet matter
of notoriety, and our denunciation of them
would be used to damage the good and true
men whose names are associated with theirs
on Republican tickets. We choose to say in
stead to the electors of every county and dis
trict, enquire for yourselves ascertain
which are trustworthy and which corrupt

"suffages, and vote for no thief, no
"matter how strongly pressed to do

ballot you propose to vote, be sure to erase it
&c and substitute that of an honest man. Listen
L" to no sophistry as to the damage your party

should be, they are responsible for it who
"nominate bad men, not you who defeat them.
"Only let them be beaten for two or three
"years, and these knaves will be tired of buying
nominations and the wirc-workers still more
tired of nominating them"
party man can render his party no better
service than to beat its candidates who are
thieves. And this year, especially, 1t Is of far
greater consequence that the Legislature to be
chosen shall be upright and incorruptible than
that majority shall be of this party or Of

On Sept. 2S we announced the flight of An
drew j. Garvey, and stated that he had made
over all his property to his brother John, by
assignment dated the 21st September. He also
constituted the said John Garvey his attorney,
the power of attorney being signed by himself
and Isabella his wife, and acknowledged be-
fore and delivered in presence of Charles F.
Wells, Notary Public. In the light of recent
developments, it is to be hoped that proper
steps have been taken to secure the presence
of those who may hereafter be wanted, before
any more of them get away.

The Springfield Republican says of the DEM
ocratic State ticket:
Is successful 1t will be through the continuance
OF the crass stupidity and Incredible bungng Of the
other side"
The Democratic State ticket triumphed in
this State in 1868 through simple, naked, gi-
gantio swindling in casting and counting the
votes. How does The Republican know that
it will not be 80 this yeari We believe that
ticket will be badly beatens but, if elected at
all, it will be by wholesale repeating and false
counting as in 1858.

tho aid Of the German Cabinets. What
Catholic dogmas the Old Catholics accepted,
and what they desired to reject and do away
with, must be accurately and authoritatively
defined. A preliminary convention of the
leaders of the party, held in Heidelberg sew
eral weeks ago, resolved upon calling gen.
eral Congress Of Old Catholics in Munich dur
ing the present month. This Congress has
held its session, and we already have brief
summary of the creed it has adopted.
The Old Catholics repudiate the dogma OF
Papal Infallibility and the dogma giving to
the Pope the prerogative of supreme jurisdic-
ton. They base their belief on the canOns
and DEGREES of the Council of Trent, to all of
which they give adherence. They favor the
abolition of the order of Jesuits
These declarations were but combinations
and definitions Of the policy they had pursued
throughout the controversy; but the Congress
adopted, in addition to these, resolutions in
dicating spirit so liberal and true as to call
forth earnest hopes of new unity and pro-
gress These resolutions embody the belief OF
the Congress that the time is not far distant
when there may be possible q gradual
union of the old Catholic party with the
Greek Church in its various forms and not
this only, but they express the hope of the
leaders of this movement of reform that ere
long an agreement may be reached, if ever 80
gradually, between the protesting branch of
the Roman Catholic body and actually Prot
estant Churches-especially perhaps, the Epis-
copal Churches of England and America.
Comment seems needless on this hope, the
influence of which must be so widespread
the result of which would be so far beyond
prophecy. But the fact that Catholics should
even have given it expression marks an era
il religious history.

The London press Ia undergoing one Of its
periodical visitahons of conscience over the
lack of an international law of copyright.
1t seems also to be myopic In its observations.
1t sees very plainly the crimes of Tremont-st.
and Frankln-square, but never cares to talk
about the piracy Of American books by Eng
lish publishers. Still, as we are much more
anxious that the question be properly put in
Washington than in London, we hail every
piracy which appears in the English capital as
a means of grace for the authors and pub
fishers of this country.

The Reform movement against the manifold
yillainies of Tammany municipal government
sweeps on, growing every day in volume, COM
plexity, and force. Ample evidence we have
already that the City has been robbed of tens
of millions. Messrs. Donnarumma, Keyser,
Schuyler, and others are now furnishing specific
testimony which ought to bring complete e1-
posure and merited punishment to guilty indi-
viduAls. The prospect Of union of nearly all
the political organizations hostile to Tammany
Is said to be favorable. We may reasonably
hope that the election q month from now will
be less vitiated by false counting and illegal
voting than could have been expected had the
power of the Ring remained unshaken. This
alone would be an immense accession of force

THE PROTESTING CATHOLICS At MUNICL


We found in the recent receipt of reports
from the Congress of Roman Catholic Bishops,
at Fulda, an opportunity to review the course
of the D0llinger movement in Germany, to
point out the important concessions 1t had
forced from the adherents of the dogma Of
Papal Infallibillty, and to show how it had
afforded the long-sought occasion for firm
progressive action on the part Of the State.
A very brief history of the controversy
served to show that the Old Catholics-for 50
the adherents of the D6llinger party have
justly named themselves-had fought q good
fight for reform and liberal Catholicism ; but
the results, until the meeting Of the Bishops,
had been made definite and visible principally
in political affairs, and by means of Gov
ernment support. This was not enough and
the leaders of the party felt that they had
seen the political effects of their protests be-
fore they had accomplished the reforms in
the Church ITSELF which were with them mat
trrs of conscience. For this latter object, diff

Facts are undoubtedly more valuable than false
hoods whether they brought to bear upon the Fe
male Suffrage question OF some other To Chicago
lately returned one Mrs. Tracy Cutler from tour
along or adown the Pacific slope. Calling meeting
of her Suffrage sisters. she told them that Female
Voting was working beautifully in Wyoming and
Utah. At Laramie grand jury Of women had shut
up every whisky shop Whereupon somebody
writes to Tho Chicago Times that he is just from
Laramie; that every shop there is q whisky-mill;
and if they shut up at night it is only to resume
business in the morning; while the same thing is
true, we are sorry to be informed, Of Cheyenne.

The Times writer, speaking Of what he knows, re-
joins that there are not fifteen women in the Ter
ritory of Utah who have cast q vote at all" Verify
here are differences Of assertion which it s not easy
to reconcile Nor do we exactly understand what
this horrid man means when he says that though
Mrs. Cutler knew that there was not word Of
truth in what she said, undoubtedly she believed
every word she was saying" This is very mysteri-

The fact that Miss Charlotte Cushman is attract

The fact that Miss Charlotte Cushman is attract
ing crowded houses, at Edwin Booths Theater, in q
Shakespearean character is an agreeable indication
Of the pure taste Of at least portion of the COM
munity. 1t shows capacity for thoughtful admira-
ton Of intellectual art, such as ought greatly to
cheer the devotees Of acting and the sympathetic
friends Of the stage. Such personation as Miss
Cushman's Queen Katharine can only be appreciated
by persons who are capable Of exaltation above
trivial matters, abnogation of self, and compre-
hension of grandeur and of anguish. Shakes
peare has lsvished q prodigious mental yigor
and lovely refinement Of feeling upon the portrait
ure Of Qseen Katherine and, ,thereforeto sympathze
with her character her noble assertion OF virtuous
womanhood, and her awfully desolate grief
over insuted purity and royal life ruined by high
handed power-is to rise into mood Of feeling far
loftier than that Of everyday. Very many persons
have shown this capacity Of sympathy, in their at
tendance on the true tender, and grand impersona-
ton that is given by Miss Cushman: and this may
be accepted as most auspciOus sign of the current
state Of public feeling with regard to the drama.
We record it. with profound satisfaction, and ear
nestly wish there were many more tokens, of Like
import, to hail with glad welcome.
