Mr.. Chandler viii be the stronger candidate
for the place of the two from the present in
dications, although the election of either
seems doubtful. Mr.. Frye's proposition to
change the system of representation does
not attract much attention, owing
TO the fact that ChandleT's propo-
sition, which was similar III
character was discussed and defeated at the
meeting of the committee held here last
spring 1t is thought that it will only be
supported by the New England members
generally and those from New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio and opposed solidly by the
south and Illinois and Indiana, although the
last two would make substantial gains by it.
By the Frye plan the north would gain 100
votes, the south lose 81, and the
territories remain unchanged, making The
convention to consist of $40, instead of $40 as
under the plan now in force. The point has
been raised by some of the committee that
the representation cannot now be changed
under the rule adopted by the Chicago con-
vention, as follows: "And said committee
shall within the next twelve months
prescribe methods or rules for the selection
of delegates to the national convention to be
held in 1854, announce the same to the
country, and issue the call for that conyen-
tiol in conformity Herewith; provided that
such methods or ruleS shall include and Sc
cure to the several congressional districts in
the United States the right to elect their owp
delegates to the national convention" This
is held by some to preclude further action, as
more than twelve months have elapsed since
the Chicago convention, later than which no
changes can be made.

DETACHMENT
1t was said that an English officer of artil
lery who came up the bay few days ago i'm
mediately cabled to his government to send
two or three iron-clads to Gibraltar, as it is
rumored here that Mr. Bennett proposed TAX
ing the Namouna down there and ornament
ing that historic rock with puff of his jour
nal. It is said that this escapade of the
owner of The Herald may lead to unpleasant
complications between Gen. Hancock and his
subordinate officers. 1t is pertinently asked,
where were all the boys in blue on that
eventful night: The general naturally
throws the blame upon his subordinates, and
they as naturally shirk it one upon another.
But the bare fact remains that Fort Lafayette
was captured without resistance by the I'M
armed Herald yacht.

MORMON AND MESSAGE.

SALT LAKE. Dec l0-The Salt Lake Herald,

the Mormon delegate in congress, and others,
says of the presidents Utah recommends

ing measures that has ever been proposed
for the coercion of Utah. If is full of evil
possibilities, which become probabilities when
we reflect upon the character of the persons
who would likely have the enforcement of
the statute, When Arthur recommends the
adoption of such an extraordinary measure
for dealing with the Mormon problem as
this, it is evident that he contemplates Wig
orous action in the event of congress
untying his hands AMI giving him full
swing according to his ambitious inclina-
ton. However, we do not apprehend the
occurrence of anything serious or radical in
the immediate future True, Arthur has
gone frrthur than any OF his predecessors in
the matter of recommendations, but if one
will take the trouble to recall the events of
the past dozen years he will understand the
anti Mormon storm that is raging through
out the land is not more violent than the
storms that break out previous to the as
sembiing of congress every winter within the
recollection of the people of this generation ,
This question is discussed all over the terri
tory, and the church leaders are agitated.

New YORK, Dec. 10-Thc SUMS ''Midweek
Echoes" says: When Mr.. G. Bennett Or
dered The Herald steam yacht down the bay
to decorate the walls of Fort Lafayette with
the announcement that nobody should pay
more than 2 cents for his paper he stirred up
a bigger hornets nest than he expected. OF
course, the government could not stand such
a piece of impertinence as the DETACHMENT of
the walls of the fort with an advertisement,
and the conductors of The Herald were pre-
emptorily notified to remove the obnoxious
sign.
But it seems that Fort Lafayette is built of
peculiarly porous stone, and that the EN-
bryo Raphael who painted "The Herald,

no unsparing hand. A corps of The Herald's
employees went down the bay withe rasers,

papal organ, strongly censures the Catholic
clergy at Newry, Ireland, for their attitude

in the cathedral at Newry on Sunday last,
in which he characterized the action
of the government in prohibiting
a Nationalist meeting there as having tend
ency to drive the people to rebel, and as

biographies of the jurymen in the O'Donnell
case, in order to enable their obituaries to be
prepared.
