designated TO receive and receipt for the new

| by the president Of The board. Carried
Mr.. r. NJ. Ames, or Canton Massachusetts,
who was present, filed with the board three APP
plications for the funding OF s2eo.0e0 In Oha.ts
noogs Railroad bonds, Issued under act No. 90 o
1871.
Mr.. Black objected to the reception OF the
application, stating that the bonds
HAD BEEN DECLARED ILLEGAL
by the State Supreme Court, and also that the
Legislature had taken the same action. hence
The board had no right even TO entertain the
application.
The other members Of the board did not agree
with him In that view, and while they favored the
reception Of the application, they we're unani-
mously OF the opinion that II should be rejected.
Lieut. Gov. wiltz moved that the application
be rejected, az the bonds had already been passed
upon by the Supreme Court and the Legislature.
Carried.
Mr.. Jumel presented s27, 1000 In old coupons
that had been sent to his Office by the executor Of
the estate OF the late Mir. Pike the same having
been paid
DURING THE WAR
by order Of Ben Butler.
The object In sending them to the board was
to have them destroyed, but action upon them
was deferred.
The claim OF W. ?. Noble, for indexing certan
scLs for former Legislature, was rejected.
The board then adjourned, subject to call.
In the matter of the Chattanooga Railroad
bonds, Mr.. Ames' object was 10 secure refusal
to fund that he might take action In some Of
the courts. He will, doubtless, bring suit in
some of the state courts during the next few
days for nandamus, and will press IL until
final decision lie rendered by the highest tribunal.

BRITISH SUBJECTS.
The sioux i'm British America.
Montreal Herald. I

From time to time, since the troubles
between the United States authorities
and the Indians have been going on. we
have expressed our belief that the com.
plioations on the other side the lines
would be likely to place us Ia the posi-
ton of having to control q number Of
the hostile Indians whom the exigencies
OF their case and their own rebellious
conduct had driven across the lines.
Several small bands came across short
time ago, while others, emissaries OF
Sitting Bull, came over and threatened
our own peaceful Indians IL they would
not go over and help them In their con-
fiict with the Americans.
We find from Fort Walsh adyices that
early in March Major Walsh came
across q camp Of the Yankton Indians
about 100 miles west OF the fort. He
found the head chief OF the Tetons and
fifty. seven lodges crossing the line and
making q camp three-quarters OF @ mile
north OF the line and close to the Yank-
ton camp. He at once put himself in
communication with the Teton and
Yankton chiefs, and council was held
at which he was informed that the Irl-
dams had been told by their fathers
they would find peace ia the land OF the
British. They had not slept soundly
for years, aud were anxious to find
place whore they could Lie down and
feel safe. They were tired On living in
such disturbed state. Being N&ked as
to their ultimate intentions Hey af-
firmed that they had no idea cfreeross-
ing the lines to make war, and said
they would obey the law in this regard.
This particularly refers to the Tetoffs.
AS to the Yanktons, the whole OF tlleIr
bands not having arrived they could
not answer until after council hid
been held, but it Is believed they would
return to their agency on the other side
Of Fort Peck. The Tetons claim that
the Sioux are British Indians; that
sixty-fve years ago was the first they
ever knew OF being under the Ameri-
cans. Their fathers were told at that
time by q chief Of the British fathers
that il they did not want to live under
the Americans they could go further
could not tell why the British gave
them and their lands to the Americans.
From children they had been taught
that they were British. They had in
their camps medals given their fathers
by the British for fighting the Ameri-
cans, with whom they had never made
peace. The presence of so considerable
a body OF "hostiles" among US is GER
tainIy calculated to inspire uneasiness,
but Major Walsh believes that the chiefs
and old men will do their best to keep
in their places those who may be OF a
restless temperament, and 1t is more
than possible that, like the Minnesota
Sioux, who took up their abode with us,
they may become as quiet as any OF the
rest Of our wards. Although we may
not desire their advent, 1t is likely we
shall have to make the best we can OUT
Of it.

THE MORMON CHURCH.

DALI LAKE, oepI. ll.-ine
apostles of the Mormon Church,
joined by J. ". Young and Daniel
FL. Wells, late counselor OF Brig
ham Young, published a circular
last night stating that on Septem-
Der 4 they held meeting and
waited upon the Lord, who
blessed them and revealed to them
what steps they should take.
John Taylor, senior apostle, act
ing President of the twelve, was
unanimously sustained in that
position. 1t was also decided
that a quoram Of the twelve
apostles is presiding quorum and
the authority Of the church. This
was the plan pursued at the time
of the death of Joseph Smith,
and was so ordered by Smith and
sustained by Brigham.
TO facilitate the transaction of
business it was ordered, that Presi-
dent John Taylor be assisted by
John w. Young, Daniel FL. Wells
and Geo. @. Cnnnon. A circular
claims that the last day is at hand,
and urges all saints to be faithful
in building temples and paying
tithes.
New York, Sept. ia special
from Salt Lake says the Twelve
Apostles yesterday issued al
epistle te the Mormons, claiming
to have received a revelation from
God on the 4th inst, directing
them to preside over the Church,
without telecting a new prophet.
The PRONUNCIATION of the extra
ordinary doctrine created great
excitement among the Mormons,
and disgust among the Gentiles,
who are too we'll aware Of past
acts of several of the Twelve, not
to believe that the Almighty had
but a small part in the matter.
This revelation goes far beyond
anything Joe Smith ever dreamed
of, and is eaualed only by the
disgusting bulletins which Brig
ham sent forth from time to
time.
The Apostle Taylor is acknowl-
edged to be President by Q quo
rum Of the governing body. The
epistle declaring this doctrine is
very lengthy and is signed by all
the apostles, who clinch their
claim by quoting from q sermon
delivered at Nauvoo long ago by
Brigham. They quote the fact
that Joe Smith conferred upon
the twelve apostles all the keys
and powers belonging to the
apostles, which he himself held
before he was taken away, and
declare that no man can get be-
tween Joseph Smith and the
twelve apostles. either in this
world or the world TO come.
They waited upon the Lord,
who blessed and revealed to them
the future course they should
pursue. According to hundreds
of dispatches sent off yesterday, it
is evident that the twelve apostles
and their friends have given or
-ders that the church, meaning the
untutored masses, Ianst accept
this epistle settling the question
Of leadership as heaven has con-I
