BRIGHAn YOUSG,s ESTATE.
No Successor 10 the Prophet Like.
~ 10 be ADDOinfed.

| = - ~ "PPVAhNGNe
NEW YORK, September s.-A special
70 the Herctd, from Salt Lake City, Gays:
Nine Of the twelve apostles who con.
troll the destinies Of the Church Of Latter
Day Saints, and who unlike their prede.
ceSsors Of old have very keen eve for
temporal a. we'll as spiritual matters.
have been engaged during the past two or
three days in looking over the deceased
Presidents accounts.
INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS.
This peculiar weakness Of Brigham
In his lifetime Is likely to be followed,
now that he is dead, by some veIy inter.
estiDg developments. The estate Of the
Prophet will be sworn under 100000,
and i Is currently reported that extern
siVe liigalions are likely 10 grow out Of
It's settlement. The duties Of the head Of
the church,a as Interpreted by himself, were
varied and striking, and among other
things involved the holding Of
titles 10 real estate as such head, while, by
some arrangement or understanding
growing out Of the church government or
discipline the real ownership remained
elsewhere. Now, unfortunately, the law
does not know such a person as the head
Of church, and considers the ownership
TO follow the title. Therein, rs in many
other respects, Mormonism has way Of
lis own. Nevertheless, II Is probable
Brigham's heirs will hGvV recourse to tho
law IN the matter, aud lay claim 10 all
the property the title Of which was in
their father, whether as citizen or seer.
This Is likely 10 lead 10 endless suits by
parties thinking themselves agVrieyed,
and by the time the courts get through
with them il Is probable the estate will
belargely pared down.
THE PRESIDENCY.
The belief is becoming general here
that there will be no election Of President
Of the church at the conference, which
meets on the 9th Of October rext, as has
been anticipated. With all Of their pro.
found respect for and subseryiency 10
Brigham Young, it is evident that the
church authorities have had enough Of
the despotism which lie exercised, and
have no disposition to place il in the
hands Of another. While It is difiicultto
understand the theory Of the church gov.
ernnent, which Brigham was in the hab.
it Of interpreting for himself and for his
own purposes, it is certain that the
twelve have power TO exercise supreme
control; and, with all their love for the
methods Of ancient times, there remains
among them sufficient Of the leaven Of
TO prevent entire sub.
mission 10 another autocrat."

GheGntelLiae1ttr,


After reading in this mornings dis
patches what Senator Bayard, Of Della
ware, said al Richmond, Va, about
Hayes, and, pcxt, an account Of the man
ner in which the people Of Loubville
Ky, are preparing to receive him and
his Cabinet next week, we can hardly
realize that II is actually 4 Republican
President around whom centers go much
seeming cordial good will and hearty
friendship on the part Of the people oi
the South.
Not since the days Of Monroe's admin
islratiOn has the country seen such an
abandonment Of party feeling, North and
South, as Ia now to be seen in the mani.
iestatlons OF public sentiment toward.
President Hayes. He possesses the popu'
lar respect and confidence to a wonderful
degree, and the secret Ia that men Of all
shades Of political opinion believe that
he striving with all the sincerity OF a
truly honest man to give the country not
only a national but likewise purified
and elevated administration Of the Gov
eminent. ..Y..
The people believe that Hayes is seek
ing no personal or partisan end in his
manner Of discharging the difficult duties
Of his high Office, but that he ia acIuated
solely by his views Of what right. They
know that he is not a candidate for re.
election, and that he has therefore no ia.
vorS to ask Of any political ring or clique,
They know also that the record OF his
previous life is pure and unEpOtted, and
that both in peace and war he has always
had the reputation Of being true man.
Who never shirked the responsibilities
that were laid upon him. This we'll es.
tablished reputation among the people is
the explanation Of his popularity.

soprano; Miss sallie Campbell, alto; Mrs.
G. Y. Lucas, tenor; MessrS. Hobart
Whitney, g. G. Gutenberg, bIsSo; Mr.. G.
". EoG, organiSt
The "Te Deum,"o Of Mrs. Whitney, is a
very elaborate composition and Is one Of
the best we ever heard, Il having the ele.
ments Of melody and enthusiasm which
should be characteristic Of a song ot
praise; in case II is published We pre-.
dict for II great success. The "Bene.
dictus" Of Hobart Whitney was very odd
and original and will meet with favor.
One thing was in the favor OF the COM
poSers and that was that il was hardly
possible 70 have their efforts better per.
iermed. The fine reading and sermon Of
Mr.. Armstrong made the services very
attractive, and we venture the assertion
that in few churches in this country we're
the beautiful and impressive services Of
the Episcopal service better rendered.

THE MAYORS FOR 1879

The elections for the Lord -Mayoralty of
Dublin, aud the Mayoralties of Cork, Bel
fast, Limerick, ETC., ETC., came of on tho
lst inst. In Dublin, Alderman Taepy, who
filed the Office of Lord Mayor for 1877, was
unanimously reelected Lord Mayor for
1873. He is Catholic, bot whilst never
shrinking from any work to the help OF
which his Catholicity was invoked, and
never abandoning any of it's public duties,
he has prOfessed and maintained his re
ligious belief and opinions without offence
to any one of that body of citizens over
whom he has been called to preside as chief
magistrats. The Catholic Corporators of
Cork, who are greatly in excess of Protest.
ants IN the civic body, did generous thing
on Saturday by electing Protestant for
the Mayoralty of that city. Alderman Gretf,
the gentleman elected, is not only a Pro.
testaut but q strong Conservative, TIE
federation of Catholic constituencies il not
emulated or initiated when Protestahts are
IN the majority. There is scarcely a Cath
Ollie in the large corporation of Belfast, and
as to the selection of Catholic for the
msyoralty Of that city, it would be easier
to set the Lagan tae river that flows
through Beifastl on fire than to accomplish
such q revolution in the religious and po-
litical sentiments of its ron Catholic inha6-
itants.
