ing the First Division returns thanks to the cav.
airy which, under command of Lieut. Col. LOOMS
of the 9th H. Cav, CALAMITY repulsed an attack
made upon them at midnight by a rebel force out
numbering them threefold, near Belmont, Tenn.
on the 29,h of March, 1868. BY such determined
fighting true glory is won, and we cannot think o
our brave sprnging from their slumbers
aroused by murderous volley, and rushing upon
the foe and routing him without thrill of pride
Well does country merit such glorious service
and may all our troops largely render il wherever
opportunity may be afforded. 1t is hereby ordered
that copy of this order be addressed to each com

CHAT ABOUT PEOPLE.
Senator SpOoners (Wis) luxuriant head of
hair has earned him the title of The Little
Lord Fauntleroy of the Senate"
Secretary Blaine has suffered during the past
week with rheumatism and lumbago, which
was aggravated by the long and heavy rain
storm. He is now recovering rapidly, and ex-
poets to be all right soon.
Hon. +. B. Wolcott, the new Senator from
Colorado, has already found much to dissatisfy
him with his new position. He is weary Of
ofice-seekers, and disguised with having to
curry favor with the President and the Secre-
taries 10 secure appointments.
VETERANS IN THE CITY.
Isaac B. Thatcher, CO. E, 10th Iowa. is in the
city, and expects to remain here if possible.
COmrade Thatcher was wounded at Shiloh, and
again at Corinth, the wounds rendering him
unable to perform manual labor as both
wounds were in the right arm and right hand.
He is trying for small position in the Pension
Office, and has every assurance OF success. AS
Comrade Thatcher was a good soldier, the
probabilities are that he viii succeed.
Comrade ID. l.. Thomas, Co. c, 91st Ohio,
Portsmouth, o. COmrade Thomas IS farmer
by profession, ana IS suffering HluCn ITouI us
abilities incurred in and since the war; He IS
a candidate for Indian Agent, and is strongly
backed by the Ohio delegation. The appoint
ment would be given him at once but for the
civil service policy, which prescribes that the
present incumbent, an ex-Confederate, shall be
allowed to serve his term-some three years
yet.
Maj. r Y Headley, Adjutant 32d Ill, came
to Washington last week on political matters;
not for himself, however, but for the purpose
of having justice done TO several old soldiers
who are applicants for various places in his
Congressional District in Illinois. Maj. Head
ley entered the service early in 1861 as pri-
vate soldier and carried a musket for nearly
three years He was finally promoted First
Lieutenant and Adjutaut of his regiment, and
was several times on duty as Acting Assistant
Adjutant- General. After the war he returned
TO Bunker Hill, H., and became the editor and
proprietor of the leading paper Of his County.
lie is also the author of Marching Through
Georgia" which is considered one of the best
works upon that great march. Maj. Headley
is yet young man, and has ability and push
enough about him TO bring him prominently
TO the front, and when he does come, the Yeter-
ans will have no better friend than he.

A HUMAN ROCKET.
Three Niles Towards the Noon with the Assistance
OF DynGascenimite.
ICE{c00o Eetrs

Manager Robinson, of the international Ex-
position, has secured a novel attracton-a hu-
man -rOcket-the handieraft of Mr. EdseIle
of Callao, Peru, formerly of the United States
Navy. His model has been successfully exper-
imented with in South America, and brother
in Minneapolis has fled caveat Signor Cam
araFa made the initial trip. The apparatus
consists of a combination OF rockets of immense
power with a parachute attachment which
folds over the apex. Four tubes form the
framework and contain the explosives The
nature of the explosive is secret, and is called
dynoascenimite. Its peculiar property is that
it is decorating. A small volume of the solid
makes an immense volume of vapor, and lifts
the machine with lightning rapidity into the
clouds.
The test took place under Peruvian Govern
ment patronage near Callao in December. The
charge touched by electricity sent the machine
over 1855 feet, and the descent by parachute
was perfect. Signor Camarara landed five miles
from the starting point no worse for the trip
Fifteen thousand people were present, and
watched with telescopes the rise and fall of the
machine Mr.. Edsclle viii start for Buffalo
within few days.

A Warm Day at Key West.
Isl. Louis Globe Democrat.l

"The hottest day that ever experienced,
said Paul MERCER, was during the Summer of
1859, while aboard ship at Key West Fla.
The sun beamed down upon the deck of the
vessel, and seemed to be so close that it would
almost raise blisters The fires had gone out
in the kitchen. and, as I was hungry, l pro-
cured several fresh eggs and put them on the
deck. The deck was covered with pitch, which
was boiling with the heat from the sun. In
less than five minutes my eggs were cooked
hard. This story may seem incredible, but it
is true"

TIE CASE OF THE MORMON CHURCH,
FEATURES IN THE PECULIAR CASE NOW BEBoRE
THE SUPREME COURT

FEATURES IN THE PECULIAR CASE NOW BEFoRE
THE SUPREME COURT.
Washington, Jan. 2o.-Argument has been con-
cluded IN the Supreme Court OF the United States in
the case OF the Church of Jesus Christ OF Latter Day
Saints appellants against the United States brought
here on appeal from the Supreme Court of the Ter
ritory Of Utah. BY the terms Of the Edmunds Anti
Polygamy act the church corporation was dissolved
and its property escheated 20 the United States.
Colonel O. H. Broadhead aud ex-senator Mcdonald,
OF Indiana, appeared for the appellants. They ar
gued that Congress by the dissolution Of the church
corporation had assumed judicial power; that the
act of the Legislative Assembly OF Utah Incorporating
the church in the nature Of a contract which
could not be impaired and that therefore, the corpora
ton could not be dissolved by legislative enactment
the doctrine Of esaheat counsel further maintained,
had never been applied in this country TO religious
and charitable corporation The only thing the Gov
eminent could do was to hold this property TN an
equitable claimant found and In this case the
title never having been held by the corporation but
BY trustees, who filed claims for the members In The
court below, there was no color OF right Tor iis
seizure and possession by the Government This
was tho first time in the history Of this Nation that
an attempt had been made TO conscate the property
Of religious corporation. This robbery said ex-
Senator Mcdonald could not be perpetrated without
the sanction Of the court and he believed the court
would never sanction 1t.
socitorGeneral Jenlus for the United States main
tanned that the clause OF the Constitution giving
Congress the right TO legsate for the Territories gave
it power to repeal Territorial enactments. He dc
clarod, moreover, that as the constitution OF Utah
provided that acts passed by the Legislative Assembly
should be null and void II disapproved by Congress
fhe EXPRESS power 10 repeal Territorial acts had been
thereby conferred upon the Legislature OF the Fedefa
Government. He also contended that tho act OF IN
conorafion Of the church was invalid because in con-
fiet with the provision Of the Constitution forbldding
the establishment of a religion. He furthermore as
serted that the corporation was rghiy dssoNea ~, io
CORPORATION might also be dissolved under the general
police powers of the Constitution Tho corporsaluon
was nothing left for the United States TO do but 10
annolnt receiver 10 tale charge Of the properly OF
be corporation for the reason that the dlssout4n
The CORPORATION left officers in whose control TIE
nronerty might be placed.

GOODWIN SMITH on AMERICA.
r. ns Edttor OF The Trt0une,

Sir: Professor Goiwn Smith is not going to
allow the American people to have tho credit Of
being honestminded II he help II. He is almost
a. particular about that he Is about proving that
an Irlshman Is essentially blackguard and villain
In maintaining these two positions that lnshmen are
inevitably knaves and Americans cowardly time
servers, Mr.. smith Is restless and aggressive HIS
letter to The London Tines commenting upon
Professor Bryoo's book Is so insulting aud unfair
that II would not be worth noticing but for the
fact that somo English people naturally disposed to
think III Of the United States, viii give 1t credenoe
and circulation and point geefully to It as estab-
fishing their opinions The truth s-but Professor
smith Is 20 saturated with his prciudices as to be
incompetent to perceive it-that the Liberal party's
espousal Of the Home Rule cause has moderated the
Irish feeling against England TO an extent that Is
remarkable. The truth IS also that tho Irish IN
America exercise only their proporuOnate influence
They happen to DO especially numerous, and conse,
Quenty strong, In Newfork, chicago, boston anu
some other cities but their influence In the Nation
and its councils Is no more than It Justly should
be. -.

SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.
MIR. MURDOCH AS YOUNG MIRABEL.
TO the Ldftor o(The Trtbuns

MIR. MURDOCH AS YOUNG MIRABEL.
TO the razor oIThe TrtbUne
Sir: In reading tho remarks OF your dramatic
critic upon the production Of "The Inconstant' at
Days Theatre In yesterdays Tribune am reminded
that to the list Of eminent actors referred to by him.
as having shone consplcuously IN the role OF young
Mirabel, one other name must be added-that OF our
own incompatible comedian, James f. Murdoch.
In the early fall OF 1856 Mr. Murdoch made his
first appearance upon the London stage at the Hay
market Theatre In the part OF young Mirabel, In
which he at once achieved most brilliant and com
plete success; and In the famous red Burgundy
scene, the severest test, perhaps, OF the actors
peculiar fitness and qualifications for the part his
acting was simply magnificent; the transition from
the feeling OF doubt and fear to that Of reckless
and almost insane gayey producing upon the audience
a falrS electrical effect. Throughout the play, in
deed, Sc threw himself vita delicious abandonment
into the character presenting in the most vivid
and realistic eolors the portraiture OF the gay,
frivolous and dsshing young prongate; and doubt
any actor Of the past could have excelled, or even
perhaps have quite equaled Dir. Murdoeks rendering
euiogistc, tho only blemish being as IL said, that
a. tines his tones were somewhat nasal But as
al Americans, the English say, talk through their
noses, they considerably allowed his national
failing 30 deraet but very little nom tho full need
OF their praise. To the other Americans who like
upon tia, occasion, II must ever remain partlcu-
larry bright spot IN their memory OF bygone histr9nlc
excellence. II II. +.
