Cards,

Methodist preacher has been Gg-
uring in the Young divorce suit at
Salt Lake. From what we can gath
er he has been officiating in the Ia
pacity of a peace lor piece maker.
He wanted the case compromised,
provided Brigham would pungle
handsomely. Judges Tilford and
Smith, the lady's counsel, did not
like the idea ofan outsider interfering
in business which had been entrusted
TO their hands. The result was a row
between the lawyers and the preach
er. OF course the preacher went for
them in a two-column card. The le-
gal gentleman carded him back at al
most as great length. Judge Tilford
evidently penned the reioinder. 1t is
in his best style-forcible and sarcas-
tic. He mauls the meddling divine
most numerically, but it seems he
did not succeed in squelching him.
The preacher is again in print, as will
be seen by some reference to the af-
fair in our Salt Lake advices, pub.
lished herewith. Meanwhile, Mrs.
Young, No. II, is in doubt whether &c
compromise or proceed with the case.

Grand Jury Report.

In to-day's SENTINEL will be found
the report of the first Grand Jury m
panelea in Eureka county. n variety
of uuestions came within the scope of
the investigations of the jury and all
were thoroughly and honestly con-
sidered. The general affairs of the
county were found in a satisfactory
condition. Nothing like population
or misconduct was developed on the
part of any official, and as a result the
Grand Jury had few recommends
tons to make. \ committee of
thorough accountants examined the
books and papers of the several coun-
" officers, and unanimously agreed
that everything connected therewi. h
was in the very best possible shape.
In the matter Of the alleged bribery
in the trial OF the great case between
the Eureka Consolidated and Rich
mond Companies, the jury report that
from the testimony elected they have
good reason to believe that money
WAS III SESILN lSCNi Wv
called out was not sufficient TO war
rant the Indictment OF any particular
individual. The truth of this whole
matter is, that many persons are
wont to indulge in assertions Of a
much brOaGer nature on the streets
than they are willing to swear to be-
fore a tribunal of competent jurisdic-
ton. 1t is s~elf-evident that to this
fact may be attributed the failure of
the Grand Jury to present bills of in
dictment in the cases of alledged bri-
berry.
In conclusion we think we are JUS
titled in remarking that matters per-
tanning TO the government of the new
county Of Eureka are subjects of earn
est cougratulation onthe part of every
taxpayer. and let US indulge the hope
that future Grand Juries may long
continue 10 find them in SO satisfac.
tory a condition. The affairs of this
county are in a much healthier condi,
ton, perhaps, than those of any other
county in the State.

The CARPENTER Scandal.

Senator Matt Carpenter, of Wiscon-
sin, is in trouble. Soon after his great
speech in support of the back-pay
steal, he repaired to Long Branch in
company with n of the tender sex
of doubtful repute. He was denied
admittance to one of the principal no.
tells, and a correspondent of the New
York Tribune getting wind Of the cir
cumstance, dished up the whole at
fair in the most readable style. The
scandal, of course, created a profound
sensation in fashionable circles. Here
is a late New York dispatch on the
subject:
The demands of the Wisconsin pa
pers that Senator Carpenter answer
the charges lately made against him
OF immoral conduct at Long Branch
Hotel, are not likely to be respond
ed to. The family of the lady have APP
pealea 10 the paper originating the re-
port TO fOrbear further comment, and
have demanded OF Carpenter that he
shall take no further action in the
matter. Carpenter has written a let
ter, in which he says tn 1t he has a let
ter, saying he was refused admit
lance only because the hotel was full.
The proprietOrs, however, say that
Thomas Murphy applied to them 10
write such a letter, but they refused.
The husband of the lady is now at
Long Branch collecting evidence, and
SWears he mean to proceed against
the Senator or the newspapers, which
ever Is at fault. ON application at the
Isfiy,,E Nffran IA * said To n n TN tnan
told that the paper las prepared to
prove all it had said. The husband
is a friend and protege of the Senator,
who got him an appointment to some
office. Great effort is being made to
conceal the name of the lady, but it is
known. though there is no disposition
to make it public.

SPECIAL TO H DAILY SENTINEL
NEW YORK.
NEW YORK. August 26.


No cable dispatches have been re-
ceived since Saturday night, owing to
trouble on the connecting land lines.
In the case of Michael {. Broderick,
the alleged murderer of his son Rar-
~, on Friday morning, by Stabbing
him twice III the heart, the Coroner'S
Jury to-day rendered a verdict to the
effect that the Stabbing was done in
self defense. The Coroner committed
BrOderick to the Tombs. His bail
will be fixed tomorrow.
The San Francisco Cadets arrived,
and marched to the Seventh Regi-
ment Armory, which has been placed
at their disposal during their stay
here.
Some one who affects to know, gives
this story in connection with the
Goodrich murder, interest in which
has been revived by the recent action
of tie police authorities: Kate Stod-
dard, when she was known by her
true name, Betsy King, went to school
where there were four Spaniards, and
one of them was called Rosioc. She
was attached to the young man, and
before she disappeared from her pa
rents abode b was regarded as his
betrotheG. She is said to have re-
newed this acquaintance afterward in
NEW n, anu tlIo, lOO, dl d lllllc
when Goodrich appeared on the
scene. This Rosioc is probably the
man to whom Lucette Myers points
as the one who killed Goodrich for
robbing him of the affections of Kate
StOddard.
y. l.. Lancaster, of Chicago, return
ing there for the benefit OF his health
arrived from Europe Saturday, hav,
ing with him $4,000 worth of dia-
mOnds, obtained in the gold fields of
South Africa. On landing on the
pier at the custom office, Livingston
took from Lancaster a small satchel
containing the diamonds, and declar-
ed them seized. alleging that LancaS-
ter denied having dutiable goods.
The latter gentleman, however, as
serts that he told the inspector that
he had diamonds, and accounted for
their possession by saying that he had
dug some and purchased others in
South Africa. He also claims that
there is no duty on uncut diamonds,
and denies that he made any attempt
at concealment, having displayed
them among his fellow passengers,
and refused offers OF purchase, deSir-
ing them for his W use. Lancaster
goes to Washington to demand the
restoration of his property, and bears
afidavits from his late associate trav-
elers certifying TO the truthfuiness of
his statements.
ROCHESTER,, Aug. &c.
AS the express train due here at ter

Batavia, it ran into a carriage, killing
both occupants. The engine struck
the launches of the horse attached to

the carriage a complete wreck. The

makes the following good point: The
matter has been arranged so that
members Of the Forty-third Congress
can draw their pay monthly from the
4th of last March, at the advanced
rate, although they do not commence
to earn it until december. 1t is re-
ported from Wisconsin that Mr..

is to do the work for which Mr.. Saw

Cameron for Butler

An interviewer got hold of Simon
Cameron the other day, when the
crafty old politician happened to be in
a very communicative mood. He
was especially DESTROYS that Butler
should succeed in his Gubernatorial
aspirations, and gave it as his opinion
that the Administration was inclined
to give him a big lift. During the in
terview in question Cameron gave the
following scrap of political history
relative to Butler and the Presiden-
tial campaign Of 1864:
I'm the Spring of 1864, when it was
determined to run Mr.. Lincoln for a
second term, it was the desire of Lin
coin, and also that of Stanton and
myself, hat Butler should u on the
ticket with him a. Vice President.
Accordingly, Lincoln sent me on a
mission to Fortress Monroe to see
General Butler and to say to him that
it was his Lincoln's) request that he
General Butler should allow him
self to be run a. second on the ticket.
l, accompanied by William II. Arm
strong, afterward member of Con-
gress from the Williamsport distri t
in this State, did visit General Butler
and made the tender, but he refused
to accept the position. He said there
was nothing in TIE Vice Presidency,
and he preferred remaining in COM
mand of his army, where he thought
he was of more service to his country.
l hope Butler will be elected Cover
nor he wants to be. though 1
would rather have him remain in the
House or come to the Senate
