Mr.. TiLDEN's PrRrOsE.--An influential DEM
ocratic chairman of one of the leading investi-
eating committees of the House remarked to-
night that if the final decision of the electoral
count should he adverse to Governor Tilden, ,'he
will not accept the result without further testing
his rights in the courts. The last section of the
compromise bill provides that either Of the par
ties in interest, notwithstanding the award of
the commission, shall not be deprived of any
rights now possessed under the constitution or
the laws to try the right Of the Presidency by
an order in quo warranio or otherwise. This
chairman says that Mr.. Tildcn will certainly
begin the biggest law suit Of the century to oh
tain the Office if hc is declared to have been de-
icnted.- JdshiMgto" TrIegram 10 New Ioyh Tr'6,

Death of Brigham Young.

The great Apostle of Mormon
ism, after ten days illness with
inflammation Of the bowels, died last
Wednesday at Salt Lake City, in
the 18th year of his age. lie was
born in Vermont and, removing to
Illinois, made the acquaintance of
Joe Smith and fell into the Nor
mon church, Of which he became a
greater leader than Smith. His
ability to organize and lead has
never been doubted. After a ca
recr unexampled, in which he de-
fed the American Government and
sat up within it for himself a uni~
fed and wealthy empire, he has
died at the very time when the
slow but mighty march of Justice
about to lay its heavy hands upon
him. There is no doubt that he
was as guilty as was John ID. Lee
of the Mountain Meadow Massa.
ere, and, when the evidence of his
guilt had been prepared until it was
ready to be fitted into the scaffold
for his deserved execution, he has
passed under the string at the end
OF life's course, waving the flag of
defiance at the world.
With his death Mormonism dies.
1t never had the elements of long
Tito within it. Its prime claim to
success was its concealment and
isolation. Unlike Christianity, it
fled to the wilderness, and, like
Adam, felt ashamed and hid itself.
Christ said, ego ye into all the
world and preach my gospel" >
Brigham Young said to his adhe-
rents, "gct you ont from among
men, and hide with me in the will
derness." The result is the armies
of the Cross have surrounded and
overwhelmed Mormonism, an d
Mormonism mast die.

importance while two large Turkish
armies threatened the Russian cons
municetions north of the Balkans. -
The triangle Of country described
as being occupied by the Russiars
forces, separates two Turkish armies
whose forces would be joined by those
of Suleimnn Pasha, if the latte
could force his way through the
Shipka pass driving the Russians
before him and that is The object of
the desperate fighting of the last few
days. A short time ago the Rus
slams were beaten at Plevna, on the
western side Of their triangle, ard
last week there was some hard fight
ing at Aghaslur, on the eastern side
of the triungle, with no marked adj
vantage to either side. The Turks
are now forcing the fight with the ev>
ident purpose Of gripping the Rus
slams before the arrival of expected
reinforcements for the latter, and
the next few days will probably de-
termine the result Of the years cams
paign. If the Russians should be
driven from Shipka pass, they will
have to fight with as much pertinaci-
ty as the Turks to regain the advan-
tagc, and in the meantime they may
be compelled to 20 irto winter quar-
ters in Bulgaria. Turk has appa,
rently met Turk in the reckless Draw
cry with which assaults are made and
attacks repulsed, and, j. dying from
recent dispatches, neither party
knows when he is beaten.
