famous.

Mr. Wendell Phillips was always fond OF
novelties. 1t was always enough for nm 10
know that somebody else had mounted hobby
of his, to cause him to give it up. He was a
pretty good Republican until there was a Re-
publican party, organized and with promise
of victory. He formally denounced and aban-
doned it as soon as it became practicable.
When the LOYAL people of the North stood as
one man by President Lincoln in his defense
of the national existence, Mr. Phillips called
him slave hound, land would not be COM
forted because Gen. Fremont was not In the
White House. The rose that all are praislng
is not the rose for the Boston orator. IF by
any accident he assumes a position which
il a lust and reasonable one, and which
other men come to occupy, he moves away
from it with the same disgust which Daniel
Boone felt when he heard that a pioneer was
building cabin ten miles from him. " 1t Is
getting too crowded around here said the
taciturn hunter and moved few hundred miles
further West The popular opinion of the
country has made such rapid advances of
late years that it has kept Mr.. Phillips NOV
ing very lively to avoid being on the winning
side The work has been invariably done by
men he reviled, through means he has pre-
tended to despise, and yet he has a curious
sort of afectation that he has somehow done
it himself. Brilliant and noisy as he is, he is
no more leader in the movements he has
preceded than the sparkling and dancing foam
on the crest of q wave Is the cause of the
vast swell and flow of the tides.
1t is probably a half-confessed and I'M
easy sense of his own incapacity to accomplish
anything practical, that induces him to speak
with tone of cynical persihage of all that is
done, and of the men who do it, Occasionally
he allows certain degree of commentator
to dead man, who is out of his way but he
rarely admits any merit in the living. 1t is
only where it would seem eccentric to praise,
that he allows himself to speak in terms of
approval of an actual politician. When he
feels himself secure in his solitary alteration
of some self-created divinity there is no limit to
his gushing devotion. In this point of view the
most fitting object of worship which he has ever
cherished, and the one which offers most pros
| pect of permanelce, is Gen. Butler There is
| no other human being to whom this warrior
and statesman appears in the lovely colors
which he wears To the siiver-tOngued talking
man. Mr.. Phillips worships III him the crea-
| ture of his own gorgeous Imagination, and
whereas the rest of us see in the General only
a middle-aged politician with an exceedingly
tattered character, his friend and trumpeter
finds in him the gloriied features of the hero,
statesman, and philanthropist. We cannot find
it in our hearts to criticise such an infatuation
1t might wound an innocent bosom to say that

lamatiOn fOrbidding any assembling or tne
militia, and a collision seemed inevitaDle.
Col. De Trobrand was called upon by the
acting Governor for an armed force to sup
press any such demonstration. Things were
evidently ripe for small rebellion, and a
summary and bloody extinguishment OF MOT
mon pretensions.
Fortunately for the peace and good name OF
the whole country. there were wiser counseis
than those which prevailed in the office OF
the absent Governor of Utah. We must thank
the United States military commander ana one
or two officials of the United States Courts,
who interfered in the interests of peace, that
there was no collision. These persons instead
of issuing orders and proclamations, talked
good sense to the Mormon officials,
to such good purpose that the discreet
Saints withdrew their poor little parade.
OF course, since the acting Governor had
mounted his high horse and said there should
be no Mormon militia display, it would have
been an ingOrious surrender for him to shut
his eyes and quietly permit one. But little
less desire to exhibit authority and little
more spirit of Cancellation, would have pre-
vented the rising of this raw breeze in Nor
mondom Luckily, we have escaped bloody
collision with our Mormon brethren, but the
Cancellation and the argument for peace
came from those whose aid had been
invoked to quell the small contumacy by
force We shall never unite the Mormon knot
in this way. 1t is useless to be forever
nagging these people and exasperating them
by drawing lines with harshness and imposing
every possible burden. The solution of the
Mormon Problem is a peaceful one; it will
not melt away under influences which forbid
Fourth-of-July parades and order out The. troops
from Camp Douglas.

RREEzE IN MORMONDOM.

A specially vexatious quality of unwisdom has
been exhibited in the management of the bel
ligerent Latter Day Saints by the paternal Gov
eminent of the United States. At times they are
wheedled, anon scolded, and again left severely
alone TO 90 to the bad in their own way. Once
in a while an Army man in command OF the
handful of troops enscOnced on the mountain
bench which Overlooks Salt Lake Valley, burn
ing with ardor to solve the Mormon Problem with
military directness and chatting for permission
to blow the whole crew into the air" has
stirred up such a sudden flood of mutlny among
the Saints that only sheer good luck has saved
us from lust such another campaign as that
which made the opening years of Buchanan 3
administration famous, and put much money
in the pockets of the Mormons, who fed their
hungry invaders at fabulous prices This
time the wisdom is on the side of the Army
men, and by little judiciOus diplomacy we
have been spared collision between the
United States authorities and those of the
Mormon hierarchy.
The militia of Utah, with one or two small
exceptions, are recognized by the officials of
the Mormon Church as their arm secular and
militant. The "Gentiles" have one or two
military organizations, but the great bulk of
the citizen sOldiery Is made up of MOrmons,
and is known as the NauvOo Legion. Ii is
the more modern representative of the Legion
which defended MOrmOnism with carnal weap-
ons when that faith was first set up in visible
form on the banks of the Mississippi. But the
Nauvoo Legion, like all other Territorial mill
tia is subject to the command of the Gov
eInOr of the Territory; and that functionary,
unhappy for the temple of the Mormons, is a
Gentle outsider, whose orders it irks them ex-
ceedngly to obey. The Fourth of July came
on and preparations were made for a
grand celebration of the day for the Mormons
though largely made up of aliens. have always
observed the anniversary of American indie
pendence. The NauvOo Legion should not
have been ordered out by the Mormon Off
Gals as it was. without applying to the civil
authorities of the United States for permission
But the Saints were determined to have their
celebration with the militia, aud without ask
ing leave of anybody. AT such a juncture,
the Governor of Utah, following the bad
precedent set by almost all other Territorial
| Governors, was absent. His substitute, clothed
with little brief authority, thought best 70

not parade. When the MOrmons gave signs
| of disobeying his authority, he issued proc

SHORT METER

Nothing can be 80 agOnizing IA the effort to
scream when there is no medium to convey the
sound, to move the lips and gesticulate tiercely,
and in the midst of the scOlding to have the
person scOlded calmly looking on, unconscious
of an utterance. SO we take pity on Mrs.
Lyermore, and lift her to platform
whence her vituperation can be heard.
We take from the best report we can find of
her remarks at birmingham, on the 4th OF
July, what she had to say of The TRIBUNE. III
scarcely seems needful to offer any other refuta-
ton of the wild talk about THE TRIBUNE'5 " blls-
"tering its every issue with abuse OF women
and other equally insane charges wherewlth
this foolish woman blistered her own llbelou5
tongue, than to place them before the half
million readers who have seen from day to
day what she thus describes:
Mrs LvermOre casgated in severest terms the policy
of THE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE, which, she affirmed, blis-
tered ts every with attacks on women one might
DE fashionable fool and dance half naked at public
ball with the smell of liquor upon her lips and THE TRIB
USE would spare her; but il a tried to demand her
rights she reved and denounced The same course
was pursued by this sheet concerning woman's demand
honest work and pay During the last even days THE
TRIBUNE had INDUCED in a villainous crusade against
$4,000 women in New-YOrk who had no homes but filthy
boarding houses, where tney slcpJ WIN FoIl anu ld
after giving such pictures OF the OF the country that
any woman who respected herself would rather die than
marry them. What the editors experience with women
could be she could not imagine"
We can conceive of no adequate motive for
such amazingly absurd Justification this
and can therefore only conclude that the
angry woman has not read what she so glibly
denOunces.
Possibly it is worth while to notice the
exceptionally foolish statement about womans
work and wages. THE TRIBUNE has paid,
within the past two years, for journalistic
work from women, at precisely the same rates
paid men, more money than all the Woman
Suffrage organs in the United States
can possibly have paid for like purposes,
from the day of their foundation down to this
hour. 1t pursued the same course, without
thinking it worth while even to mention
it, before Mrs. Livermore was ever heard of
and will doubtless do the same after she Is

POSTFP'S CASE.
to cOnnnlcrC

Fosters counsel obtained, yesterday, the
stay of proceedings applied for on Monday
before Judge Pratt of Brooklyn, and the
execution of sentence against the Putnam
murderer is thus deferred until after the first
Monday of next November. II is also an
nounced that Gov Hoffman will hear on
Monday next. an argument in favor of the
communication of Fosters sentence from death
to imprisonment for life, and the Reform
League of this city has already urged upon
the Governor the same exercise of mercy.
A damage which it will be difficult to esti-
mate has already been done by the ill-advised
interference of Judge Pratt in this case The
chief advantage of the prompt trial and con-
victiOn of the ruflian is lost. There was a
genuine sensation of alarm created by the
sentences Of Foster and McNevins among their
associates in violence and crime The impress
sion which had formerly been prevalent of
the goodwill of the bench towards a certain
class of malefact0rs was cOntradicted by these
convictions, to the great relief of the public
mind As in all cases of great public feeling,
every incident of the case excited an undue
influence, and there is no question but that
timd people slept more sOundly after it was
known that Foster had been sentenced to pay
the ultimate penalty of his crime
1t is not impossible that the sentence may
still be carried into effect. But-such is the in
herent vice of our present punishment for
murder-it will be much moro difficult to exc
cute it next Autumn than now. The further
indeed the date of any severe punishment Is
removed from that of the crime the stronger
is the tendency to forget the Offense at the
natural prOmptings of Christian charity. If
Foster is hanged six months hence, it will pro-
duce a painful and unwhOesome effect upon
the city at large. morbid sympathy will
have grown up in his behalf by that time,
which will ignore his crime as well as the pub
lie welfare, and will ClamOr for his pardon
simply as an object of interest. His cell will
be regarded as a shrine by every cut
throat in the city, and his final fate,
whatever it may be, will be wrested
into pernlcOus example. If he
is pardoned, crime will be emboldened and en-
couraged and if he is hanged, a halo of
mawkiSh sentiment will be thrown around
him which will be equally false and dele
FERROUS. 1t is hard to conceive what motives
have led Judge Pratt to this illadvised meas
ure. He has chosen deliberately, upon facts
which have twice received judicial investiga-
ton and decision, to reopen most. injurious
cause of excitement, and has nullified the
effect of the most righteous verdict which our
criminal courts have lately known. 1t Is to
be hoped he finds in his own conscience a
satisfaction which will recOmpenSe him for
the reproach he has incurred from the good
citizens Of New-YOIk.

Warned. perhaps by her neglect of the Suez Canal
project az a time when she might have attained VIZ
tua control over that route, England now seems in
cliued to encourage tue building of railway
along the Euphrates Valley as highway
to India. Parliament has appointed Spe-
cial Committee to examine and report on
the subject. and leading men declare themselves
in its flavor. Leaving the Mediterranean on the
Syrian coast it proposed to run the road along the
Valley of the Euphrates, with its eastern terminus at
the head of the Persian Gulf The saving of dis
lance compared with the Red Sea route, would be,
in straight line, 1000 miles, and as vessels proceed
ing by way of the Red Sea have to make detours OF
500 miles and upward during the monsoon months,
the actual gain would be something more than this.
The route proposed would, of course make neces-
sary the transshipment which the Suez Canal has
obviated but it clear that for passengers and for
some kinds of freight, it would, on account of the
marked saving Of time, bepreferred to any other.

A press dispatch from the City of Mexico
somewhat explicitly declares that Juarez has
been elected by the people, and that the Con-
gress will not be called upon to decide the
result of the Presidential election. With re-
freshing impartiality it is said that all parties
used fraud and violence i'll carrying the cleo
tons. and that a Committee of Congress has
declared the elections in the capital to be
invalid And it is added that the politicians
are the only persons who are at all exercised
about this state of affairs, the people gener-
ally being quite unconcened about it. Prob
ably the election of Juarez is accepted as an
evidence that things are all right.

OF course the impudent publication, by firm
calling itself Fuller & Raymond of 10 Broadway, of
a pretended editorial Endorsement of its conduct OF

we don't think it worth while very often 70 indulge
in such contradictions. THE TRIBUNE has been pub

From Nebraska we have the extravagant
story that railroad train near Fremont, in
that State, the other night, was lifted from

rails. The country through which the railroad
passes is an immense level plain, along which

such marvellous tales as this usually come
from Nevada, where these disturbances of the
Air are plavfully called "Washoe zephyrs.'

common there, nevertheless.
