AMoRNoS's PREDICTION OF WAR;
Elder orSon Pratt, OF Salt Lake City,
made an eloquent appeal TO small gath
eriug OF the Latter Day Saints in Will
liamsburg yesterday. He urged them to
wind up their business and flee to Utah
"bcfore the war cloud that is gathering
over this country shall break" He add
ed: 1--WE have 10000 saints in Utah
against 1000 inhabitants who arc not OF
the true faith. Nevertheless, so power
full is the enemy that seeks to break us up,
cur rights are greatly abridged. God ia,
however, with uS, and when the reign Of
anarchy, which is surely coming in this
land, begins, and every state is at war
with another, the Latter Day Saints will
be safe and secure,"-M Y. Sun, SOD.

The Increased Popularity of the
Regular Army HS Compared
With Militia:

The regular army il Justly in high ia
vor with the people just now. 1t has put
down more OF the riots than all the mi.
litia put together, and it has not killed
one man. The discretion of the officers
and the GOODNESS and obedience OF the
men prove that the service the army has
been engaged in, in the South for the last
len years, has taught it the lesson how to
handle a mob almost perfectly. There
will be no difficulty about the army APP
preparation next fall, and the only diff
Guilty Congress will experience, will be tc
resist the temptation TO increase the
army to unduly largo proportions, in
answer to the popular demand for q
"tOrce large enough to insure law and
order.p

The interest upon this sum, at six per
cent, and much Of it bears far higher
rate, amounts to the vast gum OF SAP :
100000. Now there are about 10000, 900
voting population in the whole United
States. The amount Of interest per capita
would be S44 %. Thus to pay the inter.
est upon the debts owed by us as a nation
each man, at the present rate Of wages,
Il per day. must work AL days. Add
to this amount the private debts Of the
people, and We have at least $780, 900, 900
more. Now take tho full indebtedness
say $7,475OOO,O OO-(this being rather
within than above the actual amount)
and We have upon the shoulders Of each

shall we be able to pay? INQUIRER.

BROTHER ZEB ULON PHILLIPS
GONE WHERE THE WOOD
BlNE TWJNETH

A despatch to the New York World
from Amsterdam, N. Y, says:
"There seems TO be no doubt that
Rev. Zcbulon Phillips, one of the most
prominent and trusted business men Of
this part of the State has absconded
with a large amount of money belong
ing TO firm of which be is q member
and has managed to elude pursuit
Mr.. Phillips began life as Methodist
preacher and was member Of the
Troy conference, filing some Of the
most important charges in its gift. He
was formerly financial manager Of the
school in Troy. Some time ago he re.
signed from the ministry and became
a member of the banking firm of Nor
ris & Phillips Of this village subsc
quently he obtained an interest in an
extensive knit goods mandatory in
Amsterdam, the firm name being Phil
lips, Gardiner & Co. Phillips partner
resigned the entire financial manage.
ment of the concern to Phillips. A
short time ago certain irregular pro.
ceedings were noticed by them in Phil
lips management, among them being
the drawing of notes in the firm name,
and using the proceeds for his personal
benefit This matter was arranged,
however, TO the satisfaction Of the firm.
On the 2lst inst, one OF the members
of the firm was surprised to receive
intelligence from one of the banks of
this place that il had several checks
given by the firm on Schenectady
bank, and which Mr. Phillips had had
cashed at the home bank. Invcstlga
tion into the matter resulted in the
lact that Phillips had drawn cheeks for
large sums on the 10Th, goth and 2lst,
all IN banks in Schenectady, and all Of
which the Amsterdam banks had hon
ored. A call was made ut Phillips
residence, but ho was not at home, and
has not been home since. A dispatch
was received on Monday by his family
from him, dated Baltimore. Furth
than this no trace OF the absconder
has been obtained, more than he told
friends in Baltimore that he was going
to Chicago. The fact of Phillips dis.
appearance was kept as quiet as possi.
BILE, his friends believing that he would
return in a few days and arrange
everything. No hope is now enter.
tpincd that he will. The exact amount
Of tho defalcation is not publicly
known yet, but il is the general belief
that II will be found to be very large.
The confidence that had been given to
Phillips by the entire community of
all classes was unboundcd. Many peo-
pie are charitable enough inclined to
declare their belief that he is insane.
The greatest excitement prevails over
the affair"

THE FEA RFUL CONDITION or
THE COUNTRY.

The fruits OF great Presidential
fraud are multiplying hourly. Hayes
is making the case OF the country, ~
bad when he came in, very much
worse, every moment he usurps the
place Of Samuel J. Tilden in the White
House ut Washington. Money, capital,
SECS in Hayes, naturally, a dangerous
agent. A man whose presence ut the
seat of government is simply that of u
fraudulent occupant of the Presidential
chair, logically withcrs confidence, de-
stroys credit and blasts the prosperity
Of the Nation. Idicnoss is increasing.
Citizens Of this city are touched on the
shoulders daily, when walking the
streets, by ragged and starving beg.
gers, who multer out, "give mo money
Tor plate Of soup or u dinner, or |
shall die from hunger" Street begging
never existed in New York to such u
degree by fifty per cent. One cannot
walk block in the most frequentcd
portion Of the town without being nc.
costed. Men, women aud children, not
only beg on the highway, but crowd
otiicesa stores, and besiege dwellings,
aud If relief OF some sort is not afford.
cd, a threatening scowl declares the
desperate character OF the claimant.
All this misery is the logical result OF
the wretchedly governed country since
the warclosed. Pauperism has struck
high and low, to u more or less extent,
and with the Republican Fraud and
Usurper Hayes fastened upon us for
the next four years, We need some
philosophy to bear it.--N. Y. Day

THE Ma TIER Nv A NUTSHELL


Nov that the Senate is out Of the
way, Mr.. Hayes aud his Cabinet can
apply their minds T., the Southern sit
uation. A deal of nonsense has been
written upon the question oi the diff
Guilty, complications, aud embarrass-
ment OF 'the situation" Any difficult
" there is in the case arises, 50 far as
any public evidence g,cs, solely from
the danger il may give to the Admin
istration To break" with the men
whose conceded frauds brought il into
power The withdrawal Of the troops
is u mat er'as slmple Us the issuing ol
an order that they bc Withdrawn.
That done, evil Processes will enforce
themselves in the two Statcs. T. issue
this order or not to issue il is tho ques.
ton with the Administration, and it
will remain the question to the end
All the talk, discussion and gossip on
the matter, aud all the suggestions and
propositions made in connection with
IT, may help throw light ou the necess-
ity of eventually deciding whether to
withdraw tho troops or not, but they
will not alter the fact that that is the
question i they will only make il more
emphatic. lfthe troops are withdrawn,
local seli-governmcnt will follow and
the Southern question will be ques.
tion no longer II the troops stay,
they will stay as part Of the Military
Government which will have to place
both organizations in both the States,
for the people will never recognize
Chamberlain and Packard, aud can
not DO made to do so.

A SAD CONFESSION.


The New York Tribune has at last
come to the conclusion that the South.
crn Policy of the Republican party in
all i.s aspecls has been aR utter failure.
Carpetbag rule through negro suffrage,
II declares, has been an attempt to
make the political pyramid so wisely
constructed BY the fathers of the con
stitution ''stand on its apex" This is
u sad confession. But how much has
It cost the country, and especially the
States of the South, to learn the lesson
of the last ten years2 The pegroes of
the South have been forced upon "thc
bench and the jury box, they have
made laws, collected the revenue,
handled the money-DONE EVERY
THING EXCEPT PAY TAXES"
With every opportunity to develope
their capacity the Tribune admits that
as u race thcy are idle, ignorant and
vicious" This is harsh and, we be.
lievc, a basty judgment. The position
In which the negroes have been placed
between the adventures who used
them for their own selfish ends and the
white men Of the South to whom they
had occupied the relations Of slaves
will account for their failures as citi.
zens as much as the inherent vices Of
their character. II must take gen.
Grafton or two before the colored race
Of the South will show much aptitude
tor the management Of political affairs,
and those who expect that they would
at once enter upon thu Intelligent per.
formance Of the dssies oi citisensbip
svince their impatisncs instead Of their
