This addition IS thus divided Revenue to the United

To which TIE TRIBUNE replies that all
the Salt mcde By Syracuse and Saginaw salt
"boilers" III 1871 was sold by them for less than
The aggregate enhancement Of price asserted
abore Jy The World. And, since Salt could not
have been afforded to our people for less than
nothing, even in the absence of tariff, we
submit that The WOylGs position is absurd.
Hear The World again:
1--WE want Coal because the whole Northern sea-
coast nom Ncw-YOrk to Portland. is made TO pay a
tribute home coal monOpollss We use In that region
ct asst five six million tuns Of Coal, which costs us
81 % per run more than 1: woud If Coal free AT
least maintain this and the only way to coniute us is
TO give us free Coal Tho derived from Coal is
s53s COO and therefore pay on the 6GO6O0O tuns or
Coal ws use In Ncw-York State and the New England
States alone something like s75OOO0O, of which the rev.
enue gets half million ana our home monoposts seven
millions. That is why Coal ought to be free"
Answer.-There is another way to confute"
The World beside that it uggests-namely, to
compare the price Of Coal under Free Trade
with its present cost. Happily, the monthly
sale of large quantities of Coal by auction
affords opportunities for testing the sOundness
Of Tic Worlds assumptions. We propose,
therefore, to compare the wholesale prices
(reduced 10 coin) of Coal at this port for the
last six months with those which ruled
throughout the corresponding months of dEy
year which The World may select as Illus
trating the advantage of Free Trade. Is not
that giving advantage enough3
Again We invite a comparison of the whole
sale prices of our common Anthracite Coal at
this port with those of the far inferior lin
heat-producing capacity Bituminous Coal
which drives the power and warns the dwell
ings Of the British metropolis. That Coal is
largely brought by sea to its destination--Of
course, more cheaply than it can be wheeled
! across the rugged mOuntain-ranges of Penn
sylvania. But never mind. Now let us see
whether our coal-cOnsumers arc or are not
paying SIT more for their fuel than they
would need pay under Free Trade!

v;tb;,. i've years. There is Mormon statute
oooinst le,5d and lasciviOus cohabtation ;
bnt il was deemed impossible to get
verdict under this law from any
iurv impaneed by Mormon Marshal.
Judge McKean's device was to declare
| his court United States court for all pur-
poses; to turn the local marshal and sheriff
and prosecutor adrift; to order all grand and
petit Jurors to be drawn as United States
Jurors and TO instruct the United States Dis
trict-Attorney to prosecute all felonies, even
| those which were only punishable under the
Mormon laws. Mr.. Hampstead, who was the
Federal prosecuting attorney when this gross
violation of law was begun, refused 10 take
part in the proceedings and 1--WE believe) re-
| signed. Judge Mexican thereupOn committed
fresh usurpation by appointing one H. N. Bas-
| ken United States District-Attorney ad In
terim, although the Attorney Generals Office
| had ruled that "a Territorial court cannot
"appoint an attorney for the Territory;" and
| under Mr.. Basken's instructions the prosecu-
| tions began. Mr.. Bates, who was appointed
| afterward. refused to sanction these unwar-
rantable proceedings, and referred the matter to
Washington. The Controller Of tho Treasury,
following the well established precedents, re-
fused to pay the expenses of the trials. AttOr-
ney Gen. Williams openly condemned Judge
McKcan's conduct, and declared that his
rulings would not stand when they came to be
reviewed But Gen. Grant put his foot down.
Law or no law, McKeans court should be
United States court, and if the Mormons could
not be punished in one way they should IN
another. Mr.. Bates was requested to resign,
and make way for more ignorant or more
docile attorney; but he very properly
refused and declared that he should
await the Judgment of the Supreme Court.
The President perhaps does not yet realize
the full consequences of his blunderlng oD-
stinacy. Not only are the MormoDs irritated
and the Gentles placed in danger, but the
illegal arrests Of the past two years are
all punishable. Tho indictments were void;
the trials were not trials by legally
constituted court; the sentences were usur-
pations; the officers who executed the
processes were trespassers. The organic
act of the Territory provides that
the United States Marshal shall execute
all processes issuing from the courts when
" exercising their jurisdiction as Circuit and
District Courts of the United States" and
there his authority stops. When he arrested
Brigham Young on Judge McKean's warrant
he was guilty Of false imprisonment, for which
lie can be prosecuted. The money he has ad-
vanced-about $S,OOO-fOr fees and expenses,
cannot be recovered from the United States,
and of course will not be paid by the Legisla-
turc Of Utah. The $1,000 additional now due to
witnesses and jurors also constitutes debt
incurred without authority. There seems to
be every prospect Of endless vindictivc litiga-
ton in consequences of the dongs Of this fic-
titious court and the violations of law have
been so gross and so clear that it is likely to
go hard with tho offenders. After this it is to
be hoped the President will leave the courts
alone

criminal attacks upon the DatioBal life. He
had done all these in way as grotesGoely

tagonism against the magnates Of the reigning
school. Already a radical journal, attacking
NJ. Meissonnier for this political bigotry, cx-
tends its hostility to his art, and calls him
ga colorer of photographs" The pettiness OK
the one side is thus balanced by tho Stiffness
of the other. The verdict of the court painter
can no more quench the talent Of the radical,
than the attacks of the sans culottes critics can
iBjure the farae and fashion of the most petted
painter of the time. But this abuse of tho
prerogatvc of the jury Of painters to crafty
political hatred will inevitably injure tho
prestige of the schools Of art in Paris.

The impression that Gov. Hoffman will veto
the Charter is deepening. at Albany, where
the rumors fly thickcst, it is currently re-
ported and believed that the Governor will
exercise his veto power in relation to the bill
early next week. He has certainly taken
time 10 consider the matter, and the people
now wait anxiously for his decision, which is
likely to be final as to the fate of the Charter.
One of the small printing jobs which still
hang about the Legislature provides for print
ing a mass of medical books for public dis
tribution. The Senate must decide whether
these reports, illustrated with fine engravings,
and costing about $4,000, shall be printed or
not. That body. in a spasm of good sense,
refused TO indorse the Assembly proposition
TO print $4,000 worth of Red Books. Now
let it decide that the doctors ought to pay for
their own books; they would value them then.
Although it is understood by the Admins
tration whippers-in of the Senate that Congress
must adjourn before the first OF June, the
House has cOurageously entered upon debate
on the Tariff bill, just as though tho session
were to last forever. Hour-long speeches are

Cen Daniel f. Sicklcs goes out this morn
ing in the steamer Adriatic, to resume his po-
siti0n as Minister Plenpotentiary of the United
States in Spain. He will probably, however.
not remain very long in that Legation. 1t is
understood that he has already asked to be re-
called, and only goes to Madrid for the Sum-
mer, to arrange some pending diplomatic busi-
ness and to bring back his mother and dauSh-
ter. who have remained there during
his recent visit to this country. 1t is to be
hoped that the case of Dr. Houard Will
now be rescued from official bungling,
and from the tedious wind of Congress elo-
qucnce Gen. Sickles has probably more de-
finite ideas of the law and the fact Ill this
case than those eminent statesmen WHO de-
hated it for two days without having read
the Executive Message on the subject. We
hope to see Olher and not less important re-
suits follow this visit of Gen. Sickles in
Madrid, if on arriving there le finds the dy-
nasty of Savoy in possession and not the Mid
die Ages incarnato in the person of Carlos
VII. Gen. Sicklcs will return to this country
in time to vote at the Presidential election,
with margin o. ugh to consider how he shall
vote-which Is likely to bc a question requlr-
ing some reflection on the part of sagaciOus
politicians before next November.

Ncw-York and Cass County, Missouri, seem
10 represent two extremes of popular senti-
mcnt. Here, such men as Tweed and Barnard
long defy public opinion and dcceney, and
appear wholly to escape punishment. In Mis-
sour, the corrupt Judges and their thieying
accomplices are riddled with bullets and their
mangled remains left by the railroad track.
The horrible story which reaches us from
that State recalls the discovery Of
the fraudulent issue of Cass County
bonds, made last March. These bonds were
originally issued, fourteen years ago, for the
use Of the Missouri Pacific Railroad; but, some
dispute arising as to the fuifllment by the
Company of their contract, they were locked
up in the County treasury. Taken thence by
Federal troops during the Rebellion, they
finally found their way back to the County au-
tbOrities during the war. The railroad COM
pany waving all claim to them, corrupt
Ring resolved TO reissue the bonds with ac-
crued interest, the whole sum amounting to
1929 coo; and Judges Stevenson and Forsyth
surreptitiously convened the County Court
and, assisted by James Cline, r. b. Higgins
and several others, approved the issue OF the
bonds The cOnspirators divided their plum
der and fed in all directions, pursued by
officers. Higgins was first caught, and he
Immediately committed suicide. The others
hid for a short time only, and last Wednesday,
while travelling in company with Judge Ste
venson, Cline and DutrO, felow-criminals,
were caught by a mob, which seized the train.
and most barbarousy murdered. Judge For
syth is reported to have been shot and hanged
to a tree in that region. The end is not yet,
as tho Cass County mob is said to be bent on
the exteInination of the Eing. This affair is
fearful commentary on frontier lawlcssness.
