Review of the Week.

Yellow fever still fingers in Charleston.
Mexico is tolerably quiet-for Mexico.
The Cuban resurrection has been ex-
tended. sent more than $4,000
to Chioago.-London has sent upwards of
100000 to Chicago. fires are
still buraing.-Mormon news was lively
at the beginning Of the week.-Besides
details Of Mr.. Hawkins sentence, it was
announced that a large number of Nor
mon chiefs had been arrested for murder,
or would soon be arrested. Bills had
been found against them for the murder
of two men, Yates and Buckley, victims
of the "Danites" of whom so much was
at one time said: Wells, Stout and Bel
den, all "Saints" of the utmost capacity
for wickedness, were taken-but Orson
Hyde made off; and it YVES added that
Brigham Young, against whom a warrant
was ont on the charge of being concerned
in the murder Of Yates, had fed, taking
soatherly direction. st. George village
300 miles from Salt Lake City, was sup.
posed to be his objective point. Joseph
A. Young, one of his sons, is included in
the list Of the murderers of Yates.
A man named Hickman tells the story
of the killing of Yates. He fell
by Hickman's hand, but Hickman says
he acted under the orders of the two
Youngs, and at the instigation of Wells
and Stout. Mr. Hooper, who is the Con-
gressional delegate from Utah, and who
il a single man in the Mormon phrase
chat is, he has a wife, and not "plurali-
ty of womsn,"-has gone to Washing ton
TO "intsrview" President Grant, in the
hope of effecting compromise, whereby
prosecution can be stopped. But the gov
eminent has gone so far that it must go
farther in this Norman matter. How is
it possible to compromise the business =?
If 1t ia right to send Mr.. Hawkins to
prison, would it not be wrong to cease
proceedings against the great sinners?
Eithar Hickman tells the truth or he tells
q lie. If the truth, then Brigham and
the other murderers should hang. If a
lie then the Mormon chiefs should de-
mand trial, and clear themselves from
the bloody charge and Hickman be
Hamsnized, 30 far as the law would ad-
init of his elevation. Whether is was
wise to begin work against the Mormous
this year, is point for dispute; but as
work began few weeks ago, it should be
completed. The Mormons would claim q
triumph, were the government to cease
proceedings, and consent to compro-
raise, which would be surrender
