lowing from the Register Of this MORN
ing: As yesterday evenings down
passenger train from Virginia was
coming through one Of the rock cuts
above the Mound House, a stone weigh
ing four or five pounds fell from the
top of the cut and struck the conduc-
tor, John Shrieves, on the left foot In
filcting a painful wound. 80. We under
stand that Roderigos, the Mexican
who shot Ben. Ellsworth In Pine Nut
Valley some months ago, has been re-
arrested and lodged in Jail. Ellsworth
was very low q few days since. but Is
again improving slowly. We are
happy to announce that F. II. Isaacs,
the wounded guard whose right leg
was amputated on Monday last, Is i'm
proving, and strong hopes are enter
tained that he will recover. - Three
9 who are evidently escapes, were
seen on Monday scouting In a suspi-
clous manner about the willows be-
tween wellihgton's Station and Sweet
water. They are Swallowed by tho
people, and will probably DO captured.

AMONG THE HORIZONS.

It would be not a little marvellous
If what was once the strong point Of
proselytism to the Mormon institution
should eventually prove the entering
wedge that shall rive In lasting dis
m~emberment the inglorlous structure.
Mormonism In its infancy was, beyond
doubt, a purely religious belief. What.
eyer the motives Of Its protector, the
disciples were as sincerely devoted as
they were enthusiastic. But anon q
change. The organization did not
possess sufficient elements Of spiritual
truth to insure its own vitality. The
leaders, upon whom had fallen the
mantle of the venerable Smith without
his inspiration, began to forecast a col
lapse and contrive a remedy. It was
shrewdly conjectured that II spiritual
Mormonism could be clothed with
something a trifle material, tangible,
and fascinating, the point desired
would be gained, and tho religion
would become an institution. Hence,
while the great principles Of the sect,
as originally i~nculcated, were pro-
claimed with as. much solemnity and
earnestness as ever, 1t was added In a
whisper that a good, conscientious
Mormon should have a. many wives as
there are articles Of faith In his Book
Of Mormon, aud rice versa. Thus, q
rose-tinted amendment vas saddled on
to the original resolution to ave the
resolution, and both were carried by a
heavy vote. Presently, when the Pc
culiar charms Of the social part Of the
Institution became all-powerful, the
resolution was still kept prominent be-
fore the public, only for the purpose
Of preserving the amendment. Hence
1t was that polygamy came to be tho
whole Of modern Mormonism. What
was once a religious system Of belief
passed into an institution made up
wholly of a false and unhallowed
theory of marriage. This was the gilt
of the structure. So long as the United
States Government was 10th to inter-
fere, all went on we'll ; and this it was
10th to do by force of arms. But a
new phase Of the affair was recently
presented. The Mormons have been
indicted on charges Of adultery. The
military gives way to the civil power.
The courts are likely to achieve what
the army never would have attempted ;
and the Mormon doctrine Of marriage,
that has contributed 30 powerfully to
the growth Of the system, that consti-
tutes, indeed, its only element, will
set do the work Of a suicide, and cause
the world to rejoice.

BUDD DoDIE.-If by his success we
may judge him, Budd Doble, the
driver of Goldsmith Maid, Is the very
prince and master of pilots Of the
swift-footed track birds. This Is his
record He drove Dexter In his best
harness time Of 2:17L; Lucy In her
best harness time Of 2:l2% and Gold
smith Maid In her best harness time Of
2:l7. He rode Dexter In his best sad
die time of 2:lS, and drove Jesse Wales
and Darkness In the best double team
time on record Of 2:27A. He also
drove Dexter in his best wagon time
Of 2:24 which time has been only once
equalled by that of Lady Thorne, In
exactly the same time. He held the
straps over Goldsmith Maid in 4 wagon
race where she trotted in 2:2fla and
pulled up the mare inside Of the dis
lance stand. The three best consecu-
tive heats on record of 2:201a, 2:l7 and
2:2OL, by Goldsmith Maid, were driven
by him, the time being ~ seconds
better than any other yet made, and,
to conclude his brilliant record, he
drove the Maid at Minneapolis recent
" in 2:l71f. Verify, Budd has a most
persuasive way about him with the
equine family, and when he climbs
into q sulky seat he mounts a throne.

A Mnn Accused Of Murder Proved
Iuuocent Afer Death.

From the New York Tribune, September 2o.]
Some workmen digging holes for the
posts Of a fence in Unionville, West
chester county, a fortnight ago, un-
earthed the skeleton of q man, evil
IDENTIFY long buried. From the posi-
ton Of the bones, the skull resting be-
tween the knees, IL was surmlsed that
the unknown deceased had not re-
ceived the customary burial, and that
murder had been committed. A Shoe
maker-Ephraim Jones-lived near
the spot where the skeleton was found,
and the go;sips Of Unionville quickly
connected him with the supposed muir
der. 1t was remembered that, nearly
twenty-three years ago, Thos. Brown.
a journeyman shoemaker, had suddenly
disappeared from the village. Some
one Of tenacious memory called to
mind that Brown had been paid $l75,
due as wages, by Jones, and that the
shoemaker had removed his shop from
It's site in former years. Upon fur
thcr investigation it was found that
tho old shop had stood directly over
the place where the skeleton was
discovered.
With these facts In their possession,
Coroner Weeks and Detective Stoway,
of Westchester county, determined to
search for further proof against Jones.
The story of the finding of tho skcle-
ton and the suspicious Of the cemmu-
nifty against Jones 500 came to the
newspapers Of this city. When the
Journals reached Unlonville the nc
count was read by Jones. who ap-
peared greatly Mortified That he should
be accused Of murder. Hc vas an old
nan, and was so greatly shocked at
the charge that the following day,
while lamenting 1t, he was Frustrated
by some sudden attack, aud died In q
few moments. The nelghbois loudly
limited that Jones had poisoned HIM
self, but a Coroner's inquest d~lsproyed
this suspicion and proved that the de-
ceased had died of heart disease.
On Monday evening q nephew Of
Jones visited the police headquarters
In this city, and asserted that facts
were in his possession which fully
proved his uncle's innocence. He
said that Sergeant Louis Young, of the
Twelfth Precinct, testified that twenty
three years ago lie Ind witnessed the
death of Brown at No. 43 CORTLAND
street. The Sergeant was n step son
of Brown, and was twelve years old Mt
the timo. He recoliected clearly
Browns return from Unionville, the
money he had with him and his death.

verses to that gem, aud addressed
them to his friend and kinswoman,
Mrs. Bates, Of London, whose husband

There's no place like home; there's no place

NO MORE DETECTIVES IN THE INTER
NAL REVENUE DEPARTMENT.

NAL REVENUE DEPARTMENT.
From the N. Y. Sun.
1t is reported from Washington that Gene
raj Pleasonton, the new Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, appeared before the Commit
tee of Ways and Means on Wednesday, and
recommended IAN increase in the number of
supervisors and inspectors That is to say,
he wants more detective officers and spies at
tached to his establishment.
In 1869 General Pleasonton succeeded
Joshua f. Bailey as Collector of the Fourth
district in this city. When he took this Office
his predecessor, Bailey, was defaulter there
to the amount of about eighty thousand dol
lars. General Pleasonton remained for
whole year in charge of the Fourth district,
and in all that time he never discovered that
there was any defalcation there, or that there
was anything out of the way in Bailey's ac-
counts.
In consideration of this proof of official
genius and energy, he was transferred to the
scene of Baileys greater exploits, the Thirty
second district, with double the salary of any
former collector, and less work; and now, as a
further and more brilliant testimonial to his
capacity, and in accordance with the princi-
Piles of the present administration, he has
been put at the head of the department No
wonder he thinks there should be more in
spectors and detectives. If he had had few
more of them to help him in the Fourth dis
trict, he might possibly have found out about
Bailey and his robberies a little before the
year was out, so that he need not have waited
for Bailey's fight to reveal the villainy to his
knowledge.
Another reason why the new Commissioner
wishes for more detectives is that he will have
the appointment of them. A thousand vacant
places to fill would be fine thing for the
military ring. 1t is true that there is no need
OF them, and that if more men were neces-
sary in the internal revenue service, the pre-
sent assistant assessors could be used for the
purpose, since they have very little to do,
and are already paid by the Government.
But these officers are not dependent on the
Commissioner; and ii General Pleasauton
could get their number reduced, and lot of
inspectors substituted for them, his power
would experience en- agreeable augmenta-
tion.
On the whole, we presume that Congress
will not be in hurry TO comply with the
Commissioners application for an increased
number of detectives.
