MORE HORHONS.

A steamship which will leave Liverpool to-
morrow will bring over about 400 Mormon
converts, mainly Scandinavians. On Monday
evening by special train on the pennsylvania
Railroad, about 1S6 MOrmons, principally
Scotch and Welsh. started for Salt Lake City.
IL has been customary to think and TO say
that the Mormon religion, if not upon Its last
lecs. is mt least IN n shaky condition. Of
course the facts concerning it areinOt under
stood by the ignorant classes abroad, among
whom converts are chiefly made How are
they to know anything of the extremely bad
repute INTO which Latter Day Saintship has
fallen7 Of the execution of Leei Of the
Mountain Meadow massacresf Of Brigham
Young's dubious and dangerous position
They only hear a new faith preached, nor can
they be expected to discover how absurd, het-
erogencous and almost worthless 1t is. 1t Of
fers them chance of emigrating under ia
vorable circumstances, and to emgrate has
long been the desire of a great many OF the
poorest Of them. 1t is no wonder that they
eagerly embrace the opportunity of thus pro-
noting both their temporal and their spiritual
welfare.
Many of these emigrants, certainly the more
intelligent of them, are destined to be greatly
disappointed upon their arrival at the New
Jerusalem. A pretty condition of things they
will find, with one of the Saints just hanged
for committing murder, with the great Brigham
himself in some little danger of a like fate,
and with about 30 Of the older brethren
amenable to indictment. Bishops and Pres-
dents and Apostles, who may at any moment
be sent to Jail, without bail, and capitally
indicted, convicted and executed, for plain
violation of the laws and not as martyrs to
their religious taith--these are the shepherds
to whose care these neophyte pilgrims have
come across the sea to commit themselves!
Clearly great many of them are the victims
of false representations and it is much to be
regretted that the whole strange eventful
history of Utah. so far as it is a religious
State, cannot be made well known to the
whole world. Young early organized his mis-
s0nary system, and it is still going on as
part of the machinery of his establishment.
Conversions in the United States cannot be
numerous at present, but in certain countries
abroad the business is as brisk as ever.
Tie civil power of the leading MOrmOns is
upon the wane, and their spiritual power must
inevitably follow. There is nothing in the
doctrines and polity of Mormonism which can
give it pelpetuity 1t Is the most absurd and
foundatiOnle5s religious" system with which
We are acquantod and there is absolutely
nothing in it which can secure its hold upon tho
hearts or heads of mankind. 1t will probably
he modified into some decent form of Chris
tianity IN good time. Meanwhile Utah will
be settled by sober and industrious class,
and these emigrants, after the Arch-Sants are
all dead. will gravitate into respectable Gentle
ways, even though some OF the formal absurd
tiles of MormOniSm may remain.

4 GRANGER DECISION.

Another very important decision, affecting to
a degree which cannot yet be measured the
value of nearly all important railway stocks,
has just been rendered 10y the United States
Supreme Court Like the other decisions re-
Gently published, il concerns the validity of the
s0-callcd Granger laws, and the powers OF
State Legislatures TO pass laws of that char
acter and the series Of decisions taken to-
gether forms a complete exposition of the
constitutional relations between chartered cor
p0ratiODs and the States from which their
powers are derived. The latest decision is in
the case OF the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
against the Attorney General OF Iowa, and it
holds that the Burlington and Missouri River
road, now leased by the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, is subject to the State law Of
Iowa regulating charges for transportaton
The points decided are that the law is consti-
tutional, that the corporation, notwithstanding
its charter, is subject to That law, and that the
lease, though made prior to the passage of the
law, does not exempt the road from control
thereby
The great importance of the recent decisions
will be best appreciated if their combined eff
feet is considered. 1t is clearly decided that

The address of Clarence King. delivered
before the Sheffield Scientific School at New
Haven yesterday, which is Published III full
herewith, is the first OutspOken protest against
the doctrines of the Unif0rmitarian school
from within the ranks Of the scientists them
selves Mr. Kings presentation of his theory
of CatastrophiSm is radical boid, and aggres-
sive, and is destined not only to receive wide
attention but to arouse at once an animated
controversy. There has not been for many
years so significant and bold IN utteraGce in
the field of science or so confident a challenge
to the upholders of opposing views The i'm
portance Of MIR Kings theory of the evolution
of environment may be judged from the fact
that its establishment is at once fatal
TO the fundamental doctrines upon which
has been built the scheme of Develop
ment by natural selection and the. sur
vival of the fittest The publication OF this
address will have the effect of changing the
character of the discussion, and in measure
the ield of controversy, for in it Mr. King
has turned the guns of Geology upon the
Biologists, and given them broadside from
their own weapons.

The Brooklyn Republicans are in tears over

The Third Avenue Company's FIVE steam ears are
to be run under the supervision of special COM

While the meeting to raise money for the
st. John sufferers was hardly as large or as
representative as it was hoped it would be- it
still succeeded in etiecting an organization
which may do effective work. NewYOrk's
reputation for Open-handed hberality ought
not to be endangered by neglect of the New
Brunswick unfOrtunates.

The Presidents order has begun to operate,
and in the way in which 1t is likely to operate
everywhere. Three Brooklyn oiice-holders,
being compelled to choose between an Office
with it's salary and the party committee with
no salary, choose the Office, and step out of
the committee. But there must be more than
three designations due IN Brooklyn. Come,
gentlemen, We want more subscribers to this
list
New-York tribune., 1877-06-27

At last we shall get a decision on the ques-
ton of allowing the use Of steam on the Belt
Railroad. Even the Aldermen. have grown
tired of the intentional dawdline of the Com
mittce on Railroads and have directed it to
report at the next meeting. When that report
is made. we shall know just how much COM
merca patriotism the Aldermen have, and
whether they have joined the conspiracy to
drive away the trade Of New-York.

The story is told elsewhere that an i'm
portant witness in a civil suit was arrested by
a New-York policeman in another city, with
out warrant, which had been previously denied
the complainant, and thrust into the Tombs
practically without bail on allegations OF lar
ceny to the amount of fifty dollars 1t is not
at all certain that the woman thus locked up de-
serves any particular sympathy, but il VIII excite
great indignation, and might we'll create some
apprehension in mems minds to learn that
such laxity exists in the administration of the
criminal laws. There is a very grave sus-
picon that this particular arrest was made in
order to get the woman ont OF the way as a
witness. The onOrmity OF the Ofiense OF the
officials will be increased by any evidence oil
conspiracy in the case.

In South Carolina the Republican party
seems to have abandoned itself, if the Charles
ton election is a test. Though the county was
two-thirds Republican on the vote of last No
vember, 30 opposition was made yesterday to
the Democratic ticket for members OF the
Legislature. The Democrats rather ungIa-
ciously refused to nominate a coalition ticket
Of ten of their own party and seven RepubIi-
cans but they made at least a slight conces-
sion in putting three negroes among their can
didates.

No such list of failures among insurance
companies follows the great fire at st. John
as was the case with Chicago and Boston.
The people of the burned city are fortunate
in having for the most part obtained their
insurance in large concerns that can meet the
loss without hnchng. But the experience OF
British fire underwriters in American risks Is
not q fortunate one, and their prospect OF
making profits enough to balance losses on
this side of the Atlantic must again be post
poned fur few years.

Details of the damage by the storm at the
West show that it extended over vast area.
There are few instances of loss of life, and
although 10 great calamity is recorded
from any one place, the aggregate destruction
of standing crops, houses. barns bridges, and
fences is very large A storm of more or less
violence is apt to close term of hot weather
when the air has been unusually damp FOR
two or three days. and we may esteem our
selves fortunate when, was the case III tins
city last night, only heavy shower onsues
after such sulhy weather Several of the
storms of the present season at the West and

amount of their rainfall, and the Nebraska re-
ports notice that as feature of The storm Of

The value of five minutes was pretty well
illustrated the other day in the Grndt case.
Though many persons were present in court
whom this defauting "banker" had swiDdled,
the lawyer who had evidence on which he
could be held under a criminal charge was not
t'are and did not get there until five minutes
s'.er Girndt had been discharged. Now he
has disappeared again, and though every day
reveals another sad case of the hardship which
his vilainy has brought upon many poor people,
there is 30 sign of the man himself

The invasion which began last Friday prom
ises to give the Russians control of the Do
brddia in a short time. The column. 2S,OO0
strong, which crossed at Braila has established
communication with the forces which passed
over unopposed and occupied Hirsova AS
soon as these armies have cleared Tultcha and
other Dobrudja towns Of Turkish troops they
will march solidly against Cemavoda and the
line extending thence to Kustendje on the
Black Sea- Here they will be within four
days march of Silstlia, and may either choose
to attack the Turks or keep large force IN
check, as the Russian commander is doing ID
Armenia, at Batum. The prestige which the
Russians have acquired thus far in the Do
brudja, will encourage the main army III crossing
the Danube above the quadTilateial. The de
parture of the Gar ior GIurgeyo indicates that
this important movement is about to begin.
