Treaty, claiming that that treaty was upon .

States; that the Executive in his course In the

BRIGHAM You've was arrested yesterday by
the United States Marshal In Salt Lake City on
an indictment charging him, under the Terri
torial laws, with lewd and lascivious conduct
with sixteen different women, whom we may
presume were, according to his creed, his
wives. This brings the Mormon difficulty TO
a crisis, and we have nothing to do now but
await his utter demolition in the courts and
the immediate downfall of the last relic of
barbarism in this free country.

FORTY CoNvToTs ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE
from Sing Sing Prison yesterday by the tug
boat arrangement which they put to such good
use some time ago. The captain on this oc-
casion, however, was equal to the emergency,
and brought his boat to an anchor at once,
so that the convicts were all secured again.
Sing Sing has become mere mockery of a
prison, with its useless walls and lax guards,
and either ought to be abolished or improved.

politics, when an office was an honorable

"HERR's RICHNESS. The EOening Post
says that "the rumor which we mentioned on
Saturday that the Tammany leaders have
abandoned the hope Of controlling the State
Democratic Convention seems to be con-
hrmed." Rumor! Why, bless you, 1t is the
universal hue and cry that the Tammany
leaders will not be admitted into the Convsn-
tion, or it admitted at first that they will be
expelled before IL is over. Events travel fast
when millions are at stake.

legal interests Of the State

No HoPE.-We learn from the interior Of
the State that there is no hope for the democ-
racy in 1872, for that, with the collapse Of
Tammany, all the fat is in the fire, and that it

ages, and that John, Tom, Dick or Harry for

HoRATIo SEYMOUR is somewhat befogged
with the Tammany revelations. He speaks of
the general spirit Of waste and extravaganza
engendered by the late war; but in looping
of democratic corruptions he would avoid
harsh measures as far as possible. Mr.. Sey-
mour is too amiable for the crisis. We like the
idea of Mr.. Tilden that ''this gangrene Of cor
ruption must be cut out by the roots"

GENERAL JOHN A. GREEN, Familiarity known
as Johnny Green, the head centre Of ''the

any further association with s'the d.

TAHMANY must take back seat and be
humble and submissive and peuitent, and then,
perhaps, she may be admitted at Rochester.
These seem to be about the most favorable
terms that rustic democrats will yield to the
Tammany sachems.

THE Bosom OF DEsTRUCTIoN.-An intelligent
country democrat says that Tammany must
be destroyed-that Governor Hoffman and
the "Ring" have been at loggerheads since the
18th Of July-that Tammany must 60, and
that the canal ring and good many other
rings must be broken or swept away. Wake
up! That tidal wave, expected in North Caro-
lima, is moving over New York.

A. P. LANSING, hopeful agricultural demo-
crat, says that the prospects of the party, at.
ter oil, are good; but that everything depends
on how Tammany is shelved. The shelving
must be neat and complete or the party will
60 down with the Ring. That is what this man
means, and the time has come for plain speak.

Tho Tragic Death Of General Cinnton,
of Alabama.

We have already published accounts of the
tragic death of General James II. Clanton, Of
Alabama, at the hands of Colonel D. M. Mel
son, of Tennessee, in o one-sided renc0ntre in
Knoxville, Tenn. General Clanton was an
officer of high grade in the Confederate army,
but since the war was good, conservative
citizen, and at the time of his death held
an important political position and was in
all respects regarded as a worthy citizen.
Colonel Nelson, his opponent was an officer
in the Union army, member of the staff OF
the wcll-known General Gillem, and son of
General r. A. r. Nelson, now one Of the
Judges OF the Supreme Court of Tennessee.
They were, therefore, both Southern-born men,
who although they had in times Of war taken
hostile positions, were at the time of the TRACE
dy, in a state of comparative personal friend
ship. In an unlucky moment foolish quarrel
arose upon question of personal courage, when
Nelson hastily obtained double-barrelled gun,
loaded with slugs, and in moment of frenzy
fred at Clanton. The first shot disabled the lat
ter in his right shoulder and, as it is described,
he heroically upheld the MANNED limb with his
left hand to give direction to the firing of his
revolver at his antagonist, but without effect.
Now, what has the community to learn from
this mournful occurrence? What moral can
be deduced from it? Simply this, that South
ern men should take new departure from
their past associations. They should learn to
estimate the value of human life more highly.
Their internal prediction to shed human
blood upon any silly provocation should give
way to more humanizing sentiment, and it
should be their sndeavor to show by their
actions that they are both morally and physi-
cally courageous.
The death of General Clanton has naturally
cast gloom over large circle Of friends,
while the future Of the survivor in the rencon-
tire must be enshrouded in gloom, if it be not
followed by terrible retribution.

BEAUREGARD FAvoRs THE NEW DEPARTURE
and Gratz Brown for the next Presidency. He
very sensibly says the Southern people, how
ever. do not feel disposed to dictate to the
North in the matter, and very unwisely says
that General Grant will inaugurate military
despotism If he 10 reelected.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-10-03

JOHN GANsoN says that if Tammany comes to
the Convention she must come with her head
from New York city but one fresh from the
people. The rural democracy are fired with
indignation, and the grave yawns for the con-
demned sachems.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-10-03

GONE ANYHow.-If the Democratic Convens
ton at Rochester compromises with Tammany
the party is gone, and if Tammany is cut
adrift the party is gone for this election any
how, for the Greeley republican bolt, it APP
pears, is all moonshine.

WILLIAM G. FARGO thinks it will not be
necessary to 60 far to settle this Tammany
question in the Democratic State Council. He
says that Tammany must be squelched, and
the day OF judgment is at hand.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-10-03

GOVERNOR HOFFMAN, according to General
Green, is politically dead, being the cloak Of
responsibility to ''the Ring" and its tool in big
measures. The Governor, however, may
come out all right this coming winter in sign
ing the bills Of ''new departure"
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-10-03

GOVERNOR SEYMOUR of course attributes
Tammany stealing to the demoralizing
influences Of the late war. The Westield
explosion and the revival Of tight-fitting pan
falcons are also due, no doubt, in his opinion,
to the same baleful cause.

money should be spent without the people
knowing Of 1t. II the Convention will clearly
and specifically make q platform with these
objects In view it may reconstruct the party,
secure the confidence of the people and give
the democracy fair chance of maintaining its
power in the State. No half measures or COM
promises will do. Thorough reform, earnest
ness and sincerity are required. Nothing else
will satisfy the people or can save the party.
General questions of public policy or as re-
CARDS national affairs are of much less import
ance just now than such as bear upon the city
and State, and particularly upon the city.
These, in fact, are entering into national poll
tics. Nearly all the republican orators through
out the length and breadth of the land make
our city affairs a prominent theme in their
speeches. The State Democratic Convention
at Rochester, therefore, will hold prominent
position for good or evil, in national point of
view, as well as with regard to the State and
city and the local interests of the party.
Much depends upon its action. Let MS hope
1t may not disappoint the wishes Of the demo-
cratic masses of the State and country.

QUEEN VICTORIA days ago we heard
that Queen Victoria was sick unto death. The
Prime Minister, Gladstone, and the Prince Of
Wales were both summoned to her presence.
Hours and days have elapsed and we have had
no news. Does it mean that the government
is determined to preserve silence at all haz-
ards, or that the Queens condition is 80 pre-
carious that silence is deemed wisest in the
premises ? To us the silence is ominous. II
seems to imply that the government is fully
aware of the fact that q crisis has been reached
The British people, with all their faults, are
conservative. The present generation is bound
up in Victoria. We are willing to hope for
the sake of our British cousins that the life of
the Queen is good for many years to come
for, SO far as we can see, after the Queen
must come the deluge. Nothing like this has
happened since George the Third was proved
to be confirmed lunatic.

The Labor Question and Trade Strikes In

4 Constitutional Revelation.

The Labor Question and Trade Strikes In
Great Britain-Rapid Progress Towards
Constitutional Revelation.
Great Britain is being still more deeply
agitated by the labor wages and work time
questions. The trade strikes remedy is now
attempted on every side by the men, while
capital appears to be still more alarmed at the
idea of the financial consequences which must
inevitably result from an acquiescence in the
demands of the operatives. The most impor-
tant interests Of the nation are now involved
in the struggle. The cable kilograms report
that the Newcastle miners assembled
In mass meeting yesterday. They re-
solved ito insist on their demands and
to persevere in the strike until its
objects are accomplished" The vast hard
ware shops Of England are affected. The cut
lers and scissors grinders of Sheffield have
'struck of" work. The carpenters Of the
town have followed their example. The cot
ton spinners of Bolton joined the movement yes
terday. Scotland sympathizes with the popular
cause. The spinners of Dundee have quit work,

in Bolton. The strike of the Newcastle
engineers still continues, and the breach
between the workmen and their employers
Is as distinct as ever. The attempt to
import foreign workmen proved . failure.
Several of the Belgian and German artisans
who were brought to England to fill the places
made vacant by the men on strike have re-
turned home. Mr.. Mundella, the English
Member of Parliament who visited this coun-
try some months since, is engaged in endeavor-
ing to heal the differences between the engi-
neers and the masters. His mediatory attempt
is treated with respect, but the grand indus
trial whirl which now prevails in Britain
will not be Gained by individual interference.
The causes which produced 1t are deep-seated;
the cure must be radical. Its application will
strike at the very root of feudalism in the land,
revolutionize the monetary system of the en-
pire and oblterate the law Of entail in property.
When British industry has passed the chasm
which separates 1t from aristocratic idleness it
will enjoy the benefits Of a democratic republi-
can government-that is, provided 1t remain
true to its first principle in its new position.
