The Unrest in Sal. Lake.

New York, Aug. 19.-The Ifibune's
Salt Lake correspondent says old resi-
dents of Salt Lake City say that at no
time since the coming of Johnson's
army to Utah, more than twenty years
ago, have the leaders of the Nor
mons felt that they had so much cause
of apprehension as now. The city is
in state of universal excitement, and
the Gentiles and Mormons, who in
ordinary times look upon one another
with suspicion and distrust, are now
indulging in threats against each other,
and the community seems to be drift
ing into state of feeling, which,
to say the least, is not assuring, and
causes much apprehension among the
conservative men of both classes. The
Tribune thinks there is possibility of
a riot or street fight, but no more
serious trouble.
A reliable report has been received
here from Atlanta, Ga, to the effect
that various Mormon congregations in
North Georgia are organizing for an
immediate exodus to Utah. A great
many native Mormons will go. The
movement creates some excitement in
that section, but the saints are deter
mined, and the field will be abandoned
for awhile.

The Stewart Remains.

New York, Aug. 19.-The letter of
DIR. Minor, Mrs. Stewards physician,
after denying the report that she had
been deceived into the belief that her
husbands body was recovered, asserts
that the animus of the story was spread
before the public by thieves, and was
undoubtedly to call her attention to the
fact that the body was still in the hands
Of the thieves, fact that she has
known all along. The thieves and
counsel have played their last card, but
the game is not finished, and the final
issue can neither be buried nor do
layed by such tamporing devices.

ces in a circular that an issue of 800, 900
shares of the Panama canal stock has
not been covered. He says he might

prefers, being certain of success, to
wait until more light has been thrown
on the value of the attacks which have
been directed against the scheme at
the last moment.
DeLesseps will shortly go to Americs
and on his return he will set the com
pany on its feet.

New York, Aug. 19.-The storm
which yesterday morning was concen-
trated near Cape Hatteras, has moved
in an northeasterly path, eveloping
greatly in energy and is now concen-
trated near Eastport, Maine. Heavy
rain has fallen in the New England and
middle Atlantic states. Newburyport
experienced storm today that was the
severest known there in ten years. The
wind blew hurricane, wrecking four
yachts and badly wrenching the steam
ers and schooners in the harbor and
scattering about twenty small boats;
the fruit trees were stripped and the
tents on the beach we're leveled or
blown into the sea. At Newport be-
tween twenty and thirty sail boats are
sunk or damaged. The Wanderer and
Murrill, of the New Y York yacht squad
ron, parted their chains and went
ashore. Three yachts were sunk at the
wharf, while others dragged their an
chors, fouled and were damaged. The
crew of the schooner, ashore at Cape
May, deserted the vessel in the evening
in their boats and were capsized and the
men washed ashore in an exhausted
condition. The captain remained on
board and the life saving crew got a
line out and remained on duty all night.
The velocity of the wind at Cape May
was sixty-four miles an hour. Total
rainfall was eight and 46-100 inches.
The crew of the schooner ashore at
Atlantic City were taken from the
rigging at a. M, by the life saving
crew. The vessel will be total
loss.
The gale at Cape Henry was terrific,
blowing out some of the glasses of the
lighthouse, the first case of the kind
on record.
The damage to coasting vessels was
very heavy; also to the crops along the
coast.

The Escaped Prisoner.

The LEADER of yesterday referred to
the matter of a soldier having escaped
from prison at Fort Russell. Since
then reporter has become acquainted
with the facts, which prove interesting
enough to publish.
The fugitive from justice goes by the
name of Taylor, and belongs to COM
pany NJ, Fifth cavalry. He is reported
to be keen, intelligent fellow, having
acted in the capacity of clerk in the
quartermaster's department for some
time previous to his trouble. The
cause of his incarceration in prison
was for forging the name of Gen. Mer-
ritt to some official papers. 1t seems
he tried to assist brother soldier to
obtain his discharge from the army, on
account of his having been married
man, and made out all the necessary
papers to procure such, and when all
was ready to forward to Washington,
except the signature Of his command
ing officer, he supplied it by writing
Gen. Merritt's name. The matter
passed along quietly, but unfortunately
the papers were returned from WASH
ington, to know whether or not the ap-
plicant had been married before enlist
ment. This ventilated the affair, and
Taylor was imprisoned, tried by court
martial, and sentenced to three years
in the penitentiary. This sentence, it
seems, was not known to any person at
the camp but himself, at the time Of
his escape, which he accomplished in
this manner:
He was permitted to enter an enclos-
ure adjoining the guard house, without
sentry having been placed over him.
At one of the sides of this enclosure
there was coal house. and in the wall
there was an aperture through which
coal was passed. Through this coal
hole Taylor escaped, and he has not
since been heard from. The sergeant
who that day was on duty, in charge Of
the guard, lost his marks Of promotion,
and now pines in the very cell the pris-
oner occupied previous to his escape.
He, it is believed, is either guilty Of
gross neglect Of duty, or collusion. II
not guilty of the latter it is indeed a
sad case. for it would then be presuma-
BILE that he allowed the more genial
thoughts of equality to predominant
and crowd out the frigid ideas tina,
should alone prevail with the strict dis
ciplinarian.

BOLD, BAD MEN.

A Large Band of Desperadoes in Kansas.
Chetopa, Kansas, Aug. 19.-From
reports of detectives who have been
1S0 miles west of Vinita in search Of
the body of the murdered Capt. Secrest,
mail contractor, it appears that there
is band of fifty desperadoes who are
ravishing that country, and who are
getting bolder on account of their con-
tinued successes. They are liable to
attack the border towns if not soon
checked.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Posts financial arti-

lower for the SIS and 414S, and otherwise un-

that the committee of ways and means are op-
posed to further refunding, unless it be into 81
per cent. bond, which about represents the par
of the government credit. 1t Is therefore eX-
tremely unlikely that the special authority re-
quired to refund the 1SS0-S1 bonds before their
maturity will be granted by Congress. Rail-

The Fight for the Presidency.

There is already talk enough among members
Of Congress about the Presidential canvass next
year to warrant the supposition that a good
deal OF time Will be devoted, this session, to
maneuvers that will affect the coming race. In
the lobbies, corridors and cloak rooms, where
Congressman meet, smoke and talk. 1t Is said to-
day that Speaker Randall Is an aspirant for the
democratic presidential nomination, and that he
has agents busily at work in his interest. One
piece OF gossip is to the effect that Randall and
his friends are deyoting themselves now to an
effort to kill OF Bayard. In proof Of this, the
recent Interview OF Congressman Blount of
Georgfa-one Of Randal's most intimate
frieDdS-is pointed to. BlOunt declared that
Bayard could not carry New York, and il Is al
legged by the Bayard men that Randall is en-
deav0rtng to weaken Bayard In the south by
creating that impression. 1t is said, further
that there ts no substance in the Seymour
boom; that it is but shadow; that the anti
Bayard men are using Seymour's name to pre-
vent the swelling OF the Bayard boom, hoping to
wear the Senator from Delaware out before the
meeting q the national convention; that If Bay
ard can thus be worn out, Tilden Will come IN
the front again. It Is evident that Sanstor
Bayard Is much stronger as presidential can.
