ing introduced bill in Congress pro-
siding for the issuing Of 500, 600 900
legal tender notes. This bill was sup
ported by old Thad. Stevens, who
proposed an amendment to the bill
making it provide for the issuing OF
$3.50, GOO, 900 to be issued for the pnr-
pose Of taking up the demand notes

ded that the legal tenders should be
received for all debts and demands,
public aud private, except for duties

Our Icelandic Letters.

There are many novel and interesting
features in the graphic sketches Of the millen-
NAL celebration in Iceland which we publish
fair readers will learn with surprise that there
exists in the icy regions of the far North
people singularly gifted in musical point of
view and speaking a language as melodious
as that of Sunny Italy. The specimen Of their
music which we give in another column is
full of rich melody, and brilliant enough to
find place on the opera stage. There
breathes spirit akin to the ode which Verdi
once composed in honor Of the Sovereign
Pontif. The description of the fashions of
the Icelandic bellies will also be read with
interest by the ladies OF the metropolis of
America particularly that Of the headdress,
which DR.. Hayes calls ''the cunningest thing
imaginable" A New York modiste would
be apt to look with disd.in on helmet
of white silk as high as an ordi-
nary stovepipe hat, which is carried
forward on the fair wearer's head and pinned
to the hair, while the wide-spreading veil falls
from the base of this strange headdress,
enveloping the form like mantilla. Yet over
the gold-embroidered jacket the effect Of such
diaphanous cape can hardly be unbecoming.
The excellent map Of Iceland which we also
furnish will enable our readers to trace the
course Of the gentle Prince of Denmark from
the capital to the wild lava plain Of Thing
valla and the 'Law Mount" The Icelandic
poster, announcing the order Of the millennial
festivities and the hymn, ode and greeting
from America, are curious examples of the old
Morse language. Altogether the narrative is
as strange and interesting as chapter from
the arabian Nights Entertainments, and is
striking example Of the power of the press
and OF the comprehensive talents and re-
search of the celebrated Arctic voyager, DR..

New Chnrch Arrangements.

When lady, with the full knowledge that
her proposed husband has already eighteen
wives deliberately consents to commit Brig
hamy she should be prepared to find mar
riage loss, for she certainly knows that she
will have small share of the prophet. This
has been the experience of Mrs. Ann Eliza
Young, the No. 10 of the Mormon ruler,
who, as every one knows, became weary Of
wedlock and devoted herself to locturing in
stead. But while in her tour through the
county she eloquently exposed the evils Of
polygamy she kept sharp eye upon her dis
solute Jordan abandoned husband in the
double sense of the word--and, though she
could not share his sorrows and joys, thought
herself entitled to 4 comfortable portion Of his
income. Mrs. Young, therefore, brought suit
against the prophet for alimony, and our de-
spatches to-day indicate the nature Of his de-
fence. Brigham actually has the audacity to say
that he has but one legal wife and that all the
rest are only "Church arrangements" The
CONSERVATION of the other ladies, from No. 2
to No. 63 inclusive, must be great. Church
arrangements are said to be common in the
Eastern States but we never supposed that
Brigham Young would be capable of such an
imitation OF the Gentiles. The result of this
novel defence will be awaited with unusual in
terest, and the mere fact that 1t has been adj
vanced ought to make all but the "a No. 1"
wives in Utah very uneasy about their legal
and social status. Imagine the prophet
gravely introducing his family, "Mr. Smith,
my wife. Mr.. Smith, my Church arrange
ment." No doubt it would end in a new
matrimonial phraseology, and prophet
might make distinction between his chill
dren and his Bible class ixings or his prayer
meeting combinations.

markable man is called by DR.. Hayes
''the Bismarck of Iceland" and, he
adds, would be chosen Chief Magistrate were
Iceland free to elect her ruler The very in
tensity with which the Icelanders have striver
to obtain the constitution, the love and
respect they have for the King who gave il
them, proves that they are not q dead
nation, from which the ancient spirit has de-
parted, as from the innumerable extinct vol
canoes the fires have faded which once made
pallid the auroras of the north.
Nor is it likely that Christian TX, who by
one act has sought to atone for centuries OF
Danish injustice, will fail to do more for Ice
land when the wisdom Of this experiment
has been proved. The interview which Dr..
Hayes, as the representative of the HERALD,
had with the King OF Denmark is additional
evidence that he is q monarch who would
rule, not by divine right merely, but by
the right of intellect and zeal for the
general good. He inteligently explained
the differences between the old govern
ment and the new, and expressed that
principle which formerly oil kings
held in horror, 'that in all constitutional
governments the people must have a system
attic representation and local form Of admin
istration." The sovereign who could speak
with this wisdom could not fail to appreciate
the purposes and the uses of our modern
journalism, and it is not surprising that
Christian *, should have been polite enough
to tell our distinguished correspondent, in
English, that he considered it great compli-
ment that the world should care to know his
opinions through so popular journal as
the HERALD. 1t is pleasure and an
honor for US to report the plans of SO polite a
monarch but Christian * should know that
there are many kings whose remarks the
HERALD could not consent to publish, unless
they were paid for as advertisements.
There is lesson in this celebration of the
thousandth anniversary of the birth of q
nation SO small, so weak, SO for away in the
Polar seas. Why should the busy, whirling
world pause to look upon this plain and unpre-
tending holiday in Iceland? 1t is because
amid those extinguished 6res those eternal
SHOWS, Liberty sat enthroned. Liberty
hallows the lava-strewn plains and the rocky
shores. Liberty has been the sole possession
of the people, and SO long as they love her
they will not be forgotten by the world.

DAMAGE TO THE Long BRANCH RAILROAD. -
Considerable uneasiness and annoyance was
felt at Long Branch on Tuesday evening,
owing to an accident which occurred to the
road, which, being unprotected from the
Sea, is liable to be damaged when the
waves ara high. In the present il
stance the track was rendered impossible,
to the annoyance and discomfort of the pas
yengers. A similar accident happened at the
yame spot last year, yet the Jersey Railroad
Company have taken no serious steps TO pre-
vent its recurrence.

Horse Racing In Amcrica-The Mon
mouth Park Meeting.

mouth Park Meeting.
We are getting to be nation of horse
racers, and soon the turf will be with US, as
national sport. Our jockeys are showing
year after year decided improvement in
their riding, and our horses are beginning to
prove their excellent qualities as more atten-
ton is paid to their care and training.
We have already this season beaten the best
pirant tor fame, Fellowcraft, and we ore be-
ginning to learn that it only requires devo-
ton to the sport and proper spirit in the
lovers and patrons OF the turf to show the
world that we can breed as good if not better
blood horses than are to be found in Eng
portance Of training. A horse, four years old,
that has never accomplished anything Won
derful before, suddenly runs four mile
race as such a race was never run by
the most famous horses on the turf. What is
the explanation? Simply that Fellowcraft at
Saratoga was in as perfect condition as racer
can attain, and in sporting parlance eft to
run for man's life" The fact that we are
paying more attention to the care of our
horses has been manifested in every succeed.
ing meeting this year, and in none more than
in the August meeting at Monmouth Park,
the first day Of which is recorded in our Long
Branch correspondence to-day.
1t is desirable that the love of the turf
should bs encouraged among our people, for
there is no more interesting and harmless
sport than horse racing, provided We can
profit by the lessons of experience
and avoid it's evils. There is no
reason why the turf should be prosti-
tuted to gambling any more than yacht racing.
Both are the sports of gentlemen, if gentlemen
will take them in hand and properly control
them. The spirit that has ruined hundreds Of
homes and broken hundreds of princely for
tunes in England will never, it is hoped, be
encouraged in America. Indeed, the people
are differently constituted here, and we should
seldom find Marquis Of Hastings on the
American turf. But the improvement Of the
breed and in the care and training Of horses is
very desirable, and nothing can accomplish
this but lively interest in the turf. We are
therefore glad to record the success of the
Monmouth Park August meeting, and we can
see no good reason why the prediction Of our
correspondent should not be fulfilled, and
Monmouth Park track become to New York
what the Derby course is to London.

An Indian Chiefs Talk.

We publish in another column an interest
ing interview between the celebrated Sioux
chief Red Cloud and our correspondent.
There are the usual complaints against the
Agent No doubt the dislike of the
Indians is well founded. There is no
reason why supplies should be short, as
the sums appropriated by Congress are
more than enough to maintain the tribes in
luxury if it were honestly distributed. Most
of the small troubles that arise with the red
men are directly the result of dishonesty in
the Indian Ring, and until the government
takes steps to put an end to the present sys-
tenn all efforts to reconcile the tribes to civili-
zation must fail 1t would be much better to
place the Indian administration in the
hands Of the army officers, who would be pre-
served by professional pride from the mean
nesses TO which the present class of agents so
frequently resort. The fear of dismissal and
degradation which the officer would have
constantly before his mind in the event of any
scandal would also exercise deterrent effect
OH military agents inclined to be dishonest. 1t
is evident that tho adoption of system of
Justice in our dealings with the Indians would
insure peace and render the civilization of the
tribes comparatively easy. Under the present
system it is not to be wondered at that, finding
himself plundered and having no means o.
redress, the Indian should put OH his war
paint and seek to execute vengeance on his
oppressors

contests with the Britishers they would be
successful, because it is so distinctively q
national game but not alons have they main-
tained the superiority of Americans in this
sport, but they have carried off the palm Of
victory in the truly British sport of cricket.

Massacre Of Negroes In ren.s.sss.

Massacre ef Negroes In Tennessee.
Sixteen colored prisoners were taken out Of
Trenton Jail yesterday by band Of armed
men and murdered in cold blood. This
atrocity was committed by the white men Of
the district without any provocation
which would give to their cowardly
act even the color of justification.
the white men in the South
imagine that acts like these will be tolerated
by the nation they are sadly mistaken. The
spirit which led the masked band at Trenton
to invade the sanctuary of the law and commit
a cowardly and brutal crime may yet
bring on the South countless mis-
cries. The men who hate most bitterly
the negro race can scarcely hope that they
will be allowed to massacre the colored people
without interference; and acts like the pres
ent point to the necessity of making the
law respected at all hazards. revival of Ku
Klux outrages will inevitably lead to the
adoption of such repressive measures
as may be necessary to the security
of the peaceful inhabitants in the
disturbed district. In the present case the
duty OF the government is clear. Unless the
local authorities Immediately arrest and bring
to justice the perpetrators of this cowardly
massacre the general government should take
the matter in hand and see that fitting punish
ment be meted out to the murderers. Such
crimes are blot on our civilization.
