The MoRMoNs An important decision was
rendered by the I. S. Supreme Court, yester-
day, in the case of Clinton ct al. VS.. Engle-
brecht ct al; error to the Supreme Court OF
the Territory of Utah This was civil action
for the recovery of penalty fort the destruction
of property of the defendants in error by the
plaintiffs, who were officers of the Territory,
acting under law thereof, and is important
because under it portion of the legal proceed
inqs in the United States Court at Salt Lake
CITY are -annulled The points involved were,
that bv the Territorial, law of Utah jurors, are
selected by County Court Commissioners, but
Judge Mexican, when the Mormons were ar
raigned before him for oygamy, held that the
Legislature had no right TO pass any such law,
and issued instructions to the /. S. Marshal
for the District to summon jurors, from the
list of whom the Judge selected the panel,
striking off all Mrmons. In this case IA writ
of error was taken to the Supreme Court, the
plaintiff arguing that the Court below erred III
ovcrrulIiug his cha'c rye to the jury, which
was made on the ground that they We're not
selected in accordance with the laws Of the
Territory The Supreme Court now sustalns
this appeal and in so deciding virtually upsets

which have been obtained in the Y. s. Circuit

Mount VERNON charges made against
the management of the Mount Vernon estate
now owned by the Ladies Mount Vernon As
ISOLATION, to which We referred yesterday, are
attracting much attention. We do not know
how far the author of these charges may be
correct in her allegations, but they are of such
a nature as to call for investigation will
probably be made, and request is even made
upon Congress to interfere. Is the assertion cor
rect that the steamboat Arrow has paid $500
monthly into the treasury of the Association?We
did not before know that under the charter,
Miss Cunningham is Regent for life. If it is
SO, and she manage the estate properly, we
have no objection. The question is, are the
charges now brought forward true?

L1BER1A.-The African Repository (puo-
lished under the auspices of the American Col
onization Society contains, 10 full. the Message
of the President of the Republic Of Liberia to
the last Legislature. Flc is colored man, and
has served in the same position he now occu
pies, for several terms We have read this
message with interest. 1t is highly creditablc
production, and contains valuable account OF
the condition and prospects of the country over
which he presides as chief executive officer.
The establishment Of Liberia, and its com
parative success, SO far. is most important
event in the history of the African race. AS
one of the means for the civilization and chris
tianizing of Africa, every philanthropist should
be pleased to hear of its favorable prospects.
The colored people in this country have hither-
to, by the evil advice of some who pretend to
be their exclusive friends, not generally been
interested in the new nation which has sprung
up in their father land; and, indeed, seem not
only indifferent but rather hostile to it. They
hold back from the support of the mobiles,
scheme ever devised for the benefit of their
race. We hope better counscls will prevail
among them

THE SHIPPING INTEREST. THE Washington
Chronicle says:-"Our foreign commerce is by
no means in a consumptive condition whatever
may be the condition of our shipping. We
regret that this great branch Of our national
enterprise is now suffering from stress of cir
cumstanees, but we have abundant faith that
this deadlock is but temporary" Now, it is
this state of our shipping interest, which so
much demands attentention. The deadlock
has lasted too long-and does not. as yet, seem
to be but temporary. That interest is thriving
in Canada and the British provinces in the
North East, and in Great Britain. Why should
the deadlock be continued in the United
States, if proper legislation can cure the evil?

A special dispatch from Lafayetta
Ind, to the Chicago Inter Ocean 90,
tains the following startling story
The Lafayette Dispatch Dem

cocted an infamous SANDER on Hem.
I. Sample, Robert Sample, Hon Har
ry Taylor and Charles G. Parker 81
leging that they had bargained with !.
gang OF repeaters to vote the RepubG,
can ticket on the L. W. 4 W. Railwav
The charge was supported by an afS
davlt from one Beard, and Mckay. all
OF which WAS sworn to and published
with exaggerated headlines, and tele.
graphed to the Chicago Tribune In
dianapolis Sentinel, and other Demo
cratic papers. Beard was arrested las,
night and Mckay this morning and q,
raigned before the Mayor on charge of
perjury to which they pleaded eniltv
and were sent to Jail. Several prom
insnt Democrats were summoned bn,
denied all knowledge of the affair. Tbs
young men had no motives personal
to themselves, and the parties at whose
instigation the perjury was committed
will be prosecuted to the full extent Of
the law.
Tim McCarty, the notary public who
administered the oath, testified that
the men were brought to him by Fred
Williams, son of Colonel John S. vii.
liams, Democratic candidate for Con.
gresman-at-large.
The affair has created intense azcitp.
ment in Lafayette, and the SANDER is
denounced by all honorable men. The
infamy of the proceeding is unparal.

Letter from General Slgpi.

The Indianapolis Journal publishes
letter from General Franz Sigel. adj

of that city, III which he characterized
the nomination of Mr.. Greeley at the
Cincinnati Convention as the most
surprising and bare faced trick that
ever occurred in American politics, -
and says eff those who have been
sincere il their efforts would tell the
truth, they must own that their i'm
preston after the corrupt thing was
done, was as bad and demcrallzing as
their last will be after the November
election That first impression was
spontaneous natural and moral revolt

prepared iii darkness and executed
with the most INSCRIPTIONS dexterlty.
1t would be mortal blow to the re-
public if not disavowed, frowned down
aud voted down the masses of the
American people; because if success
full in its ends and aims, it would
glorify political apostacy and
lnaugurate the maxim that political
parties in a republic can be formed by
the most mean elements, simply on the
strength and potence of political pro-
nunciamento called a platform. 1t
would sanction any alliance under any
pretext, even with a foreign enemy, for

The FonGncSs Of the Romans for Purple

Romans of rank, II they had one dar-
ling weakness, manifested it in their
passion for purple 1t was not merely
because the dye of the Tyrian shell
fish contrasted well with the prevalent
whlteness of classic garments, but be
cause the purple hue was sacred to
Caesar, aud a reflected glory of imperial
/ dignity chung about those whose high
/ station gave them the privilege of Dor
! dering their gowns with stripe, more
or less narrow, Of the courtly color 49,
Never did the envied scrap of red rib
bon that decorates Irenchman's but
ton-hole occasion such proud delight,
such angry heart burnings, such eager
longings, us dld the concession to wear
purple among the masters of the world.
Even the pearls OF the Orient, brought
by Alexandrian keels to the harhors of
Neapolis and Ostia, hardly fetched a
higher price, weight for weight, than
the precious pigment for which the fish
ermen were ever seeking among the
lone rocks where once had stood the
Venice Of Syria. Alaric's greedy de.
mand, the ransom of besleged Rome,
coupled I" all the purple, with gold,
silver and slaves for nothing, as the
willy Goth well knew, sold better at
every mart, from Gades to the Persian
frontier. Sumptuary laws limited its
use within such straight limits that
had there not been the usual discrep-
ancy between theory and practice, n
very few uetfuls OF the valuable mol
lusk would have supplied Emperor,
Consuls, and Senators with the little
they required for their own adjournment.
But an indictment, then as now, could
not lie agalnt nation, and the knights
AM notables of the provinces We'd with
the anstoclacy of Old Rome and New
in staining hem and fringe, scarf and
buskip, with the coveted tint. Yet the
imperial purple was but Il duslIy dye,
often ANONYMOUSLY likened to bulls
blood, and the whole of the colors EN-
ployed by the aucients in staining tex
tile fabrics were interior in bmllancy
and beauty to those with which we are
now familiar Al the Year RoHHd.

Greeley and the Soldiers.
The following address tells its own

story:
Headquarters VETERANS NATIONAL
Com, FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL,
New YORK, Sept. rs. 1872
TO the Soldiers and Sailors aDho serUed
IN the Union Army and Nary dur
ing the late War:
Comrades: We,your representatives,
met at Pittsburg and adopted series
of resolutions which you have already
seen. You have discovered that we ex-
pressed sentiments which are enter
tanned almost unanimously by the vet
Grams Of the country. In view Of the
fact that Mr.. Greeley has charged us
with the desire to engender feelings of
hate toward the survivors of those who
were in armed rebellion against the
government, we desire to reiteIate our
wish that all differences may be obllt
Grated, with this one single condition,
that under no circumstances will we
support a man for Chief Magistrate
of the nation who, in the hour OF his
country's greatest danger, did not APP
preciate the situation and, by words
and acts, step forward to its defence.
We deny that one single word, either
in the speeches or the platform Of that
Convention, justlfies Mr.. Greeley in
the remarks which he uttered at Pitts
burg and his entire lack of courtesy
toward the soldiers aud sailors who as
sembled there, serves to confirm us in
in the opinion that he is quite unfit to
be trusted in any position where fealty
to his government, a just regard for the
feelings of others, and an abnegation
of self is required. We believe he will
live long enough to regret the SANDER
Gus utterances he made on the occasion.
1t only remains for us to impress
upon you the great Importance of the
issues which are presented to you, and
to urge that you.will organize h rough
out the entire country III harmony
with the regular Republican organiza-
tions, aud do all in your power to re-
elect General Grant chef executive of
the government for four years
more, and thereby complete the
great work you began in 1861,
