Everything that fashion and wealth cam
bring together to make the opening Of . race
meeting brilliant will be at Jerome Park to-day,
to inaugurate the fall meeting of the American
Jockey Club. The unparalleled success of tho
last half dozen meetings has made it an actual
necessity for the leaders of fashion to be pres
ent when the flag waves from the handsome
club house and the word Ego" is given from
the judges stand to the numerous steeds en-
tered for each race. The interest and excite
ment created at Saratoga and Long Branch
will probably culminate during this meeting at
the American Derby. The programme to-day
is full of interest First we have sixteen start
ers in the handicap sweepstakes of one mile
and quarter, race which, from the number
and the calibre of the contestants, cannot fail
to be interesting in every sense of the word.
Then come the Champion Stakes, for three year
olds, with seventy seven nominations, something
almost unprecedented "The more the merrier"
is rule that always holds good at Jerome
Park, and out of such large number of nomi-
nations for this second race we may expect
quite number of horses at the starting post
The third race will be for the Nursery Stakes.
for foals Of two years, the distance being only
one mile. For this race thirty-four horses ara
entered. A purse Of four hundred dollars and
dash of three quarters of a mile constitute
the attractions for the fourth race. The ifth
race will be the grand feature of the day, for
the ladies in particular. 1t is q sweepstakes
for four -year-olds, distance four miles. Next
follows the handicap steeple chase of two miles
and half, in which everybody must feel in
terested The pro Tamms Possesses attractions
such as have never before been presented 70
the American public, and the magnificent drive
to jerome Park and the beautiful grounds
around the race track cannot fail in bringing
together the creme do Ia creme Of the metrop-
oils, and all those, besides, who love this sx-
bilarating sport and unequalled amusement.
Mr.. Theodore Moss takes charge, as before, Of
the business part of the meeting, and the COM
plete order and harmony observant at former
races are sufficient testimony of the efficiency
of the management.

Brigham Young, Jr., ON tho Verge Of Re-
bclli0n.

Brigham Young, Jr., the Verge Of Re-
bellion.
The language Of Brigham Young, Jr., to the
Conference of the Mormon Church at Salt
Lake City on Thursday, was very violent and
rebellious, and reminded us Of the speeches OF
leading secessionists ssto fire the Southern
heart" at the commencement of our late war.
This heir to the throne of Mormondom was
bidding for popular favor, probably with q
view of stepping ultimately into the ''old
mans shoes" when he exhibited such fiery
zeal. He said the Mormons were entitled to
the exclusive occupation and enjoyment Of
Utah, because they had first made a settle
ment there; that they asked no favors or
assistance from any source, and that they
deded all their enemies, the government of the
United States included. He called the officials
now prosecuting the Mormons tools of the
devil, and prayed God to curse them. Then,
with violent gesticulations, he exclaimed -
"Trust to God, keep your powder dry, aud
don't fail to have on hand good supply OF
fixed ammunition" 1t appears there were
eight thousand Mormons present, and among
them the great chief himself, Brigham Young,
Sr., and two former Presidents Of The Church.
Smith and Wells. The rebellious words OF
this hopeful scion of the patriarch were re-
ceived with q universal "amen" and loud
cheering and clapping of hands.
Now, it becomes question whether it is nos
the duty Of the United States authorities 70
arrest this frebrand or any others who may
talk rebellion In terms as plain. His language
certainly tends to incite open rebellion and
armed resistance to the government. We are
inclined to think the young Brigham was play
ing bluff game, that his more discreet father
will restrain the Mormons from any open act
of rebellion, and that the laws will be exc
cuted without bloody conflict. Still, whore
there is so much smoke there may be sparks
of fire that an accident might fan into blaze.
Fanaticism is always unreasonable, and too
often dangerous when suddenly grappled. Il
will be well for the government to be prepared
at all points, and, while doing everything not
to provoke conflict, it should show no hesi-
fancy in choking the very first efforts of resist
ance. The terrible civil war we recently
passed through ought to warn the authorities
of the danger of being unprepared or hestat-
ing. The Mormon question has eliminated,
and must be solved at once and forever. II
the Mormons talk gunpowder and arms they
ought to have both taken away from them
without delay. II the leaders endeavor to
incite rebellion, they should be arrested. In
the meantime let the courts proceed to prose-
cute for bgamy, adultery, lascivious cohabita-
ton or for whatever will reach the evil under
the laws

Consul Goaeral Butler Defends Hin,scaf.
In another place in these columns will be
found q letter from Consul General Butler de-
Tending himself from the attacks made upon
him by several newspapers in this city We
have no desire to be unjust to any man, least
Of all to q man who, in responsible public
Office, represents the dignity and honor OF tho
United States in foreign land. With Mr..
Buffers quarrel with certain New York jour
nails we have nothing to do. II may or may
not be true that these journals have misrepre-
sented him and done him injustice It is for
him aud them TO settle the matter as best they
can. So far as we are concerned we have
nothing to unsay and but little to add. In
spite Of his personal appearance" which. he
says, he ''cannot change, and in spite Of 'shis
friends, whom, he says, he twill not change"
Mr.. Butler must remember that he is public
man and servant Of the government OF tina
United States, and that as such he is liable to
be made the subject of newspaper criticism.'

The SPANISH CABINET CRISIS. Admiral
Malcampo remains in Office as Premier Of
Spain. His Cabinet was incomplete, how
ever, at late hour yesterday evening. Seniors
Olozaga and Alvarez declined to serve. The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and that of the
Interior were vacant in consequence. Pend
ing the acceptance Of the seats by some Of
his friends Malcampo personally assumed the
discharge Of IMPLICATED duty-the presi-
dency Of the council aud the two most i'm
portant of the portfolios of State. Prim was
compelled to an official centralization Of this
sort during his latest term Of office. He
found it exceedingly dangerous--dangero Gus
even unto death.

meet II in manly manner. All Of them are
rich-many Of them are miIlionnaires. Let
each of them pay one hundred thousand dol
lars into the now empty treasury, SO that the
Croton Board, the Health Board, the lighting
ofthe city, the work upon the docks, boulevards,
avenues, streets and parks, and all the neces-
sary work in the various city departments may
go on as usual. The HERALD will subscribe
one hundred thousand dollars for the
same purpose. The money thus advanced
will be honestly expended by Deputy Comp
troller Green, and the city will repay the
amount when the present troubles are over.
The committee is doing well in recovering six
hundred thousand dollars from Keyser, and
seeking to force other overpaid contractors to
restitution; but it must not suffer the gov
ernment to come to standstill, the
laborers to 60 unpaid, the public works to be
stopped, the people to be deprived of water
and light, the health of the city to be jeopar-
died, for want Of funds. We call upon the
seventy members, therefore, to come for
ward at once and place each one hundred
thousand dollars, or seven million dollars in
all, at Deputy Comptroller Green's disposal
for the use of the government The HERALD's
one hundred thousand dollars will be paid
as soon as the committees money is
ready. The amount thus raised will
carry on the administration until the Legisla-
ture shall have met and given us q new
charter and an election for city officers.
When the city treasury is full the work of
prosecuting the corrupt contractors and un-
faithful officers can be carried on with all the
more vigor aud effect. Let the committee
prove its sincerity and its patriotism by
redeeming it's pledges in the manner we have
pointed out, and there will then be no occa-
sion to solicit ten cent stamps from the work.
men of the city.

Highly Important News from Mexico
Rcvolution on tho Line Of the Rio
Grandc.
The HERALD special kilograms from Mexico,
which are published in our columns this morn
ing, bring news Of most important charac-
ter from the territory of the neighborlng re-
public. A revolutionary movement has been
made against Juarez. Quite a number of
military chieftains, many of them old and
tried soldiers are in arms against the govern
ment. They are supported by many ad-
herents The frontier line is deeply agitated,
as will be seen by our reports from Mata-
moros and Tobasco. The State of Nuevo
Leon takes the lead in the movement. The
objective point of the insurrection appears,
at present, to be the capture of Tobasco and
the seizure Of the Custom House at that
point. General Pedro Martinez, with all
the State officials Of Nuevo Leon, ad-
heres to the policy of change. The capital re-
NAMED quiet, but the citizens were alarmed.
1t is the old story, and sad one. Mexico is
not afforded time to consolidate her home in
terests or develop her foreign commerce.
Her children are unquiet in their ambition and
unstable in their political aims. President
Juarez appeared to be doing very we'll It
looked 80 to the American people. His course
of policy will be just now interrupted, if not
absolutely reversed. Mexicans enjoy, how
ever, the privilege of judging what is best for
the interests of their country. In efecting

sadly with the rights Of foreigners engaged
in the peaceable profession Of lawful pur-
suits. This has occurred in the present
case. Capital has become really affrighted,
and the members Of the trading community
fear the loss both Of their property and profits.
Mercantile marine squabbles prevail on the
coast, and attempts at their solution tends
to add to the general unquiet as well
as to the setting of cause for ulterior
international complications. President Juarez
retains his majority in Congress. His
address to the members of the legisla-
tive body was couched in words
of constitutional advice. He pointed out
the direction in which industry should
be pointed for purposes of industrial gain.
He processes himself anxious for the perfec-
ton Of useful treaties with foreign govern
ments. Mexico looked as if her people were
going happily. indeed, just previous to the
initiation of the present revolutionary out.

tunate in many respects. Temporizing trials
of experimental craftsmanship will not save
her. Her rulers must eventually permit-no'
only permit, but encourage-an influx o.
| emigration from abroad. The blood of the
Anglo Saxon must neutralize the effeminatt
current of what now remains Of the ''blut
blood" of the Hidalgos on the country. After
that Mexico will fully atone for the faults o.

THE SPANISH TREASURY ACCOUNTS are in q
very confused condition. Malcampo's Minis
Try recommends a course OF the most rigid
economy In the administration Of the public
funds. The intention is excellent. The car
tying of IL into effect will be exceedingly diff
cuik The truth is, the treasury deficits and
public debt of Spain are sufficiently heavy for
she instant embarrassment ofany Ministry, and
bhe endangering of the throne itself, as will be

PARIS during the siege had to eat her

The PARKS are about to become wilder
nesses. The plants and animals, and the rare
collection of curiosities in the museum will
have to be sold if Comptroller Green makes
no provision for paying those who attend to
them.
