w. II. Seward has returned once more to the bosom
OF hts friends. Not all the etes and feasting OF the
nabobs in India, OF wlning and dining by privy
councillors and governor generals IN his honor, and
the grand and gaudy displays gotten up by various
Eastern nationalties for his amusement while he
remained among them could equal for heartiness and
genuine feeling the reception given hun by the
friends who met MIN in New York bay Yesterday. 1t

Mr.. SEwARD's RETURN HoME.-Our vener-
able statesman, Mr.. Seward, with his travel
ling party, returned to New York yesterday
in the stcamship Java, from which he was
taken by the steamer Fletcher up the Hudson
to the residence of his son, Frederick A.
Seward, near Peekskill, for little resting
spell, before completing the short remaining
distance to his homo at Auburn. We con-
graduate our distinguished fellow citizen on
the excellent state Of health In which he
comes back to his s'native heath" on the
extraordinary honors with which he was
received everywhere in his wonderful voyage
round the world, and on the admirable manner
in which he has borne himself on all occasions
in his great expedition, as the representative
of the people and the free institutions of the
United States. We hope now that he will
devote his leisure at home to the writing Of
book on his remarkable observations and
experience in the different countries he has
traversed since setting out westward on his
delightful tour round the globe; and, In any
event, we trust that his days may yet be long
in the land.

clled and reveal the relationship that Brigham
Young held to the murderers. From reliable
source we are informed that Hickman has,
with the encouragement of possible pardon as
States evidence, made full divulgencs Of thS
dark crimes of Utah in which he had taten
part.
1t is not probable that such shrewd, deep
plotting man as Brigham has shown himself to
be has committed himself directly In these
murders; but the Grand Jury have thought
the evidence sufficiently direct to his implica-
tion and haye brought in an Indictment for
murder against him. Now that the first step
has been taken towards his prosecution, it is
not likely that he can wholly escape.
! BY the telegram of last evening, announcing
the movement Of troops towards Salt Lake
City and the arrival there of General Morrow,
It is very evident that the government is
giving proper support to the judiciary in
this important investigation. With the clearly
waning influence of Brigham Young, the de-
sertion Of his best men during the last two
years, and the great increase of a GENTLE
population, it is very probable that the defiant
arrogance of the Mormons will speedily be
brought to an end. No one desires to see
illegal steps taken in this matter; but every
thing that is proper to be done to bring this
anomaly to an end will be hailed with pleasure
by the civilized world. 1t is fortuitous time
to expunge from our history the other twin
relic of barbarism"

The Injunction and tho Public Works.
Duty Of Deputy Green.


The modification Of the city injunction by
Judge Barnard removes all the difficulty in
the way ofraisiug money to carry on the pub
lie works now in progress under the direction
Of the departments of parks and docks. The
Judge very properly requires that the city
bonds to be issued for that purpose shall be
signed by Deputy Comptroller Green, and not
by Comptroller Connolly. The reason for
this is obvious. Connolly might at any time
revoke the authority he has given TO Deputy
Green and dismiss that gentleman from office;
and it is to guard against the risk of the power
to raise money being again placed in Con-
nolly's hands that the order Of the court es-
peciallY requires the signature of De-
putty Green to the bonds. Mr.. Green's duty
is now plain. He should at once raise suf-
fcient sum to carry on the public works with
vigor during the next two or three months.
This is critical time Of year, and any inter-
ruption of the works now must be attended
with great loss and danger. Yet we hear of
wages still unpaid and of great reductions in
the force of laborers, mechanics and gar

of Parks. For all this Deputy Green is re-
sponsble, and the belief is gaining ground
that the public works are to be obstructed in
order to crafty private enmity towards the
heads Of that department. 1t is to be
hoped that such rumors are unfounded
and that the money to pay the laborers
and continue the works will be supplied by
Deputy Green, who stands pledged to raise
such funds as are needed to carry on the city
government and to continue the city improve
ments. The people will require that this
pledge shall be redeemed. Union square must
not be left in its present condition; Madison
avenue mustnot remain heap of, ruins; the
boulevards and avenues must not be blockaded
because ex-Mayor Havemeyer wishes to ''stop
the supplies" and Deputy Green could not
agree with bis old associates on the Central
Park Board The money to pay the laborers
and to prosecute the public works should be at
once forthcoming. y u
