New YORK, Sept. 9.-The Herald COM
ments on the Republicans claim that In
diana is very likely to go Republican next
month. The solid South is a broken reed,
and the Republicans can carry off three or
four southern States from their opponents
if the October elections make it advisable
to do SO. They will not hesitate to do SO
if Indiana should go Democratic next
month. They have already reaped all the
advantage from southern solidity which
that can give them, and the South is SO
ready to break up, that we see the singular
spectacle of Bayard ~speechifying in States
like South Carolina, which, according to
Democratic assertions, are so solid that
debate should be a waste of breath. 1t is
one of the comic features of the canvass
to see men like Wade Hampton, Bayard,
and others, getting out in the solid South
and entreating the white voters for
heavens sake and the Democratic party's
sake, not to split apart, at least not until
after November. Why don't Hampton and
Bayard go to Illinois, and try to secure
twenty-one electoral votes of that State,
and to Ohio to win its twenty-five votes.
These two northern States would enable
them to fling away half a dozen of the
petty little southern rotten boroughs,
which. if they should carry the election by
their help, would only embarrass them
afterwards.
The Louisville Courier-Journa has the
following special from indianapolis. under
date Of the LIST: Hon. VIM. Barnum,
Chairman Of the National Democratic
Committee, was in the city to-day. He
held a conference with the Democratic
managers, and tool careful note of the
situation in Indiana. In a conversation
with your correspondent, he stated that II
the Democrats carried Indiana next month,
New York, New Jersey. Connecticut,
Maine, Wisconsin, California and Oregon,
with the solid south, would vote for Cen
eral Hancock in November. He says
there is no trouble in New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut, and that these States
are certain for Hancock. The majority in
New York will not be less $4,000. Mr..
Barnum states that the Republicans East
are sanguine of carrying Indiana. but he
regards it as a game of brag. He says:
/ know that the Indiana Democrats are the
DCot POlltlCdi nkutClb Ill Luc OUlOu, anu i
feel confident that they will carry the
State. There is no possible doubt Of the
of Gen. Hancock if Mr.. Landers
is elected Governor, and consequently, if
there is a Democrat in the State who wants
Hancock elected, he must vote
for Landers.
Immigrants Going to Salt Lake to
Join the MOrmOns.
WASHINGTON, September 9.-The atten-
ton Of Secretary Evarts was to-day called
to the fact that a number Of emigrants
had embarked from Europe for this coun-
try, evidently with the intention Of going
to Salt Lake City to join the Mormons, |
where they supposed they would be unmo-
Tested in the full enjoyment of the religious
belief and the customs of that sect. II
will be remembered that some time ago a
number OF emigrants passed through
the country westward to Utah, having left
their own country to escape the restrictions
placed upon them, because Of their belief
M~ormonism, and especially in the prac-
tice OF polygamy. There was at that time,
and ID now, q law in force in the Terrific
ries, and particularly in Utah, prohibiting
polygamous marriages. Secretary Evarts
then issued a circular to the snbordinates
the State Department in foreign coun-
tries, giving notice to foreigners preparing
10 go to Utah, with the view OF practicing |
polygamy, that they would be duly prose
cuted If they did so. for violating this law.
The object Of the circular was to discour-
age foreigners from coming to this country
with q view OF joining the Mormons.
Secretary Evarts was asked what he pro-
posed to do with the immigrants now on
their way to Mormondom. He said that
