NEW YORK, Sept. 18th. The
Posts financial article notes among
the stocks cons"icuOusly strong to-
day Iron Mountain, on account of
the large tariff of receipts,
and in prospect of the COM
pletion OF the TeXas-Pacific to
the eastern terminus of the South.
ern Pacific. Union Pacific contin-
ues strong, although it is doubted
whether the reports yesterday re-
specting its control by Vanderbilt
are we'll founded. Gould's recent
acquisitions in the South and West
are believed to have made him
comparatively Indifferent about
the control of the Union Pacific, it
no longer being prime necessity
for his scheme.
Laura d. Fair, now stopping at
the Everett House here, lectured at
Chickering Hall on the 23d. Sub
ject, "Chips from California" The
lecture is represented as sharp, sar-
castle and bitter.
Mys Langley aud the Prince Of
wnies.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1Sth.-A Times
London correspondent has it on
the best authority that the hus-
band of the famous London beauty,
Mrs. Langtry, has commenced pro-
ceedings for divorce, aud that the
Prince of Wales is set down as CO.
respondent. His informant had
seen the preliminary papers neces-
sary to the first legal steps in the
suit.
Prssideni Hayes on PresiasutiaI
Probabilities.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1Sth.-A Her.
aid Cincinnati special claims hav-
ing interviewed President Hayes,
who said that Grant was undoubt-
eddy the ablest general of the war.
He don't think he wants the Presi-
dency again. Everything favors
the denomination Of Tilden by the
Democrats. He will be the easiest
man to beat in the party. George
H. Pendleton is the most available
and strongest man. The question,
all important in the next cam
paign, will be national supremacy,
not national banks. He thinks the
latter now too popular to be aban-
doned.

NEW YORK, September 1S.h.-A
7ribu,ae's Utah editorial correspon-
dent says: The Mormon plan for
solving the polygamy problem is
to secure the admission of Utah,
during the coming Winter, as a
State. Every argument, every
consideration likely to have weight
in Washington, will be put for
ward to persuade Congress to pass
an enabling act, thus placing poly
gamy and other questions entirely
under the control of the Mormons.
The Tribune says: On its face, this
would seem al impossible scheme,
but we have seen enough OF Demo-
cratic rule in Congress to know
what the Bourbon majority means.
The State of Utah would elect two
Democrats to the United States
Senate, would cast three electoral
votes for Democratic candidate
for President, and would, in case of
an election by the House, give a
vote which would neutralizs that
of Puritan Massachusetts,. There
is a stake here for which the Demo-
cratic party might be desperate
enough to play.
The Canvass Ia N s,ssRcliuset
NEW YORK, September 18th. -
The Boston Herald thinks the Re-
publicans make mistake in the
nomination of Long, the result of
which will be q narrowing of the
party in the campaign. The work
of defeating Butler l. made heavier
than it might have been. 1t speaks
courteously of Long and presume s
that he will he elected.
The advertiser says: There is no
longer division in the RepublI-
can party of Massachusetts. From
this hour all disappoiutments are
forgotten, all regrets are buried. 1t
accepts the decision Of the Conven-
ton in good faith.
The Post says: Long will receive
no Democratic support. He will
encounter heated opposition from
both the Republican and Butler
parties, and at the present writing
his defeat is quite as probable as
his election.
