to take part in an imminent battle.

THE MEETING or THE EMPERoRs.


BUCHAREST, Aug. 1O.-Politically, the
aspect OF affairs Is entirely changed,
and from unquestionable sources [ am
able to assert that not only will there
be no opposition made to the participa-
ton in the struggle of Servia and
Greece, but that these nationalities will
be encouraged to commence at once.
The alliance between the three Emper-
ors Is considered here to be a certainty.
Austria will occupy Bosnia, not as the
ally, but as the enemy of the Osmanli ;
Germany will keep down all troubles in
Poland, and Russia will be aided-ma-
terially IL necessary-to push on to
Constantinople. In themselves insig
nificant as adversaries, Servia and
Greece will be most useful to the Rus
sian plans by obliging the Turks to
separate their forces, and by giving q
nucleus to the instruction which has so
long been biding its time in Thessaly
and Epirus. There will be stirring
events within the next month, and in
the ministerial circles here all hope has
been abandoned of localization of tn g
struggle. It remains to be seen what
action will be taken in England with
this catalogue of murder, rape and ar
son to throw in the teeth of an admins
tration which would sacrifice the inter-
ests Of humanity to that antediluvian
bugbear, Russian aggression against
India. He would be a rash man, in
deed, who would venture to predict the
future; yet, from the look of affairs
now, the chances are that the year 1878
will be the date of one Of the most
bloody wars which has ever been fought
on the European Continent.

The Various Candidates For The success.
sion and Their Chances,

SALT LAKE. CITY. Sept. 1.-The two
sons of Brigham Brigham, Jr., and
John W.-would undoubtedly have the
best chance, either OF them, to step in
the dead prophets shoes If either had
the requisite ability. In his recent re-
organization of the priesthood Brigham
Young put in presidencies and bishop
RIGS all over Utah men upon whose feal-
ty to himself and his kindred he could
depend. Still there is an impression
among the dullest Mormons that Brig
boy is dolt, and that John w., his
brother, Ia an apostate and scape-
grace. Neither OF the brothers is we'll
liked by the other chief counselors and
elders who surrounded their father in
his lifetime.
The talk to-day is, mo more Youngs."
Daniel Ell. Wells, second counselor and
Lieutenant General Of the Nauvoo
Legion, q man of experience and a
thorough fanatic, Is far more capable,
except for his imprudent temper, than
either Of the Youngs; but he Is not In
the race. George @. Cannon, an adopted
son of Brigham Young, one of the
twelve apostles, and at present the ille-
gal delegate to Congress from Utah, Is
more popular, shrewd and cunning
than any OF his church associates, but
lacks the faculty Of denomination. Mr..
Cannon has for years been favorite
with Brigham Young. He was elected
for reasons similar to those which in
spired the Prophet to send Mr.. Hooper
to Washington, and although he has
not evinced exactly the same qualities
by which the latter genial and persis-
tent gentleman attained his ends, he
has succeeded in binding the judgment
OF congressman who know nothing OF
Utah, just as he has succeeded In blind
folding the poor wretohes who live in
the outer settlements of this Territory.
He is thoroughly Mormon, bound up
in Mormon fanaticism, and though
probably not sincere believer in the
extreme tenets of the Mormon faith, he
would be prepared to go any length to
secure the high place emptied yester-
day.
The church naturally falls under the
leadership Of "The twelve" Of whom
John Taylor Is the priest. The latter
has firm will and q strong following,
but is devoid Of qualities essential If he
would gain rulership.. He is unlikely
Brigham Young, formerly In his place,
accomplished by impudence and ca
jolery. It will be hard to convince the
Mormon people, who for months past
have been hearing and reading the ex-
posures and fraud practiced upon them
by Brigham and his INSCRIPTIONS cabal,
that any member of that cabal has sud-
denly become what Brigham himself
pretended to be-the special and only
earth deputy and revelator of the Most
High. The poor dupes believed that.
perhaps, of the chieftain who now lies
dead In the Lion House. They can
hardly transfer the belief at this time TO
another human creature. The absurd
doctrine of revelation, the wicked and
senseless rites Of the Endowment
House, the sanctity of polygamy, fraud
of celestial marriage, the slavish sub
mission Of mind and will to the dicta-
ton of single tyrant-these have had
their day. They will eventually cease
to be.
