Special to the Gazette.
HoUsToN, TEX, Sept. 2.-To-night
about O'Clock Capt. Mike Hennesy,
chief of the Hennesy Detective agency,
was arrested on a charge Of carrying a
pistol. When approached by an officer
he declined to be arrested unless war
raut was produced, and at once stepped
into Usener's billiard hall. The police
man called for assistance, and being re-
inforced by the deputy marshal and an
other policeman, entered the saloon,
overpowered Hennesy, took his pistol
from him and landed him In the office OF
the station-house. On the arrival OF
Chief ct Police Shaughnessy, Hennesy was
released on his own recognizance. The
arrest was made based upon recent &C.
ton of the city council by which Hennesy
and mis- force were deprived OF police
privileges. Hennesy claims that the ar
rest was through political acts, and
asserts that he has the right to carry
weapons under authority OF a commission
as deputy United States marshal OF this
district. The arrest and circumstances
surrounding 1t caused decided sensa-
ton 10 that part Of the city. over two
years ago Hennesy was arrested In Gal

"RELIGIoUs," TO A DEGREE,

The lips OF those who have kissed the
blarney stone OF the Mormon Church are
ever after inspired with an extraordinary
love for religious" liberty. And yet, OF
all the religious sects oil this country, the
Mormons, individually and collectively,
have and exercise the least of personal
morality, TO say nothing OF deep spiritual
experience. They are of the earth earthly.
What theyhave OF boasted religion appears
ut present to run TO beastly and polyga-
nous riot, Their outlaw prophets and
penitentiary-bird apostles threaten the
Government that, unless its unsanctiiied
hands are withdrawn from Joseph
Smiths ark full oi sealed and perfected
polygamous Saints, the judgments of their
Adam-God will he let loose, and this
Government with its iiity-iive millions
OF sinners will be destroyed. The
Mormon hierarchy with its record OF dis
loyalty, is nothing ii not religious"
And yet, rs no one travels up and down
the Mormon settlements, he will find in
the country, rs in this city, that profanity,
drinking, and other violations OF the
moral code, are almost universal among
the so-called Saints. The old custom
Of blood-letting to save the soul and
to thin out the enemies of this
people," is at present attended with
too much risk and is practically
abandoned, but the hatred that kept
it alive remains, and finds vent in denun-
citation and lying. When this nation,
finding that forbearance has ceased to be
II virtue, shall deprive this vile church Of
its abused political power, and continue
TO enforce the law against its crimes, the
institution will then be remanded to its
proper place rs disreputablc and insig-
nificant organization OF cranks and Grim
inals.

CONCERNING THAT INTERVIEW.

That interview of the Governor with the
"persecuted" Saints at the Pen, was a ten
strike. 1t will show the people of the East
the insincerity of the Mormon professions,
and ought to have an excellent effect in
Utah matters in Congress.
The above is an extract from a letter
written to citizen OF Salt Lake by gem
tleman now sojourning in the West, and
who, us the representative OF Il great
newspaper, recently spent several
months in this Territory studying the
peculiar condition OF affairs here. With
the writer OF the letter, the DEMOCRAT is
convinced that the interview referred to
can be effectively used in the fight now
being made for such legislation as Utah
has been found TO stand most
in need of-lcgislation which will
strike from the hands OF law-de-
flying, polygamous priests the
