THE LAKE PARK HATTER.So much of the celebrated Lake Front

bill as relates to tho sale of the throeblocks on Michigan avenue extending fromRandolph to Monroe street is nowbroughtpractically before the public by the formaltender of the first instalment of tho pur-chase money. Itwill be remembered thattheLegislature declared tbetitle toso muchof the Lake Pork as is south of Monroestreet to be in the city, and to be at thodisposal of the city, the proceeds to beused for park purposes. Tho same lawprovided that, upon tho payment of SBOO,-000 by the Illinois Central, theChicago,Burlington A Quincy, and the MichiganCentral Railway Companies, tho threeblocks of said park north of Monroe streetwere to become the property of said com-panies.—$200,000 to bo paid within threemonths ; and if, within three months fromthe date of the act, the Common Councilof Chicago refused to quit-claim to saidcompanies the titleof thecity tosaid blocks,then tho said roads were to be dischargedfrom paying the other Instalments of the$600,000. The act Lears date April IG, andthe four months will expire August 15. Tbe

- or iuo yrw,-000, which has been accepted without prej-udice.

The controversy upon the subject turnsupon the amount of theconsideration. TheCommon Council, representing the city,estimate the three blocks as haring a valueof from $1,500,000 to $1,600,000. Thecompanies refused to pay more *hnn SBOO,-000, and went to the Legislature and ob-tained an act compelling the city of Chi-cago to take that sum.

When the matter was brought beforethe Council on Monday night therewas considerable excitement, nnd va-rious orders were made ' tohare legal opinions taken. If therewas any purpose to contest the validity ofthat part of the act, the Council ought tohave taken legal advice long ago. The lawhas been in force three months, and yet,apparently, the Council isas unprepared toact as if the subject was o now one. OneAlderman gravely assured the Councilthe Corporation Counsel bod been engagedfor “ten days” in the Law Library huntingup precedents and authorities pertaining tothe subject, and, upon that assurance, thewhole subject was referred to a committee,to report, possibly, two weeks hence.

It looks as if the time in which the citymight have taken steps to secure a fair com-pensation for the land has been wasted, andthat there is danger that, under a fearof los-ing tbs remaining SOOO,OOO, the Council will,during the few days nowleft, virtually andpractically accept the terms of the act ofthe Legislature. Tin’s matter should havebeen attended to longsince, and not left tothe hurried action which must now be hadn the few weeks that are left.

ME. BOEZE OK HAVAL NOBEEHCLATUBE.Contrary to the general supposition,

Secretary Boric’s brief connection with theNavy Department was signalized by the per-formance of an official act. The degree ofjudgment with which this act was performedhas already been made the subject of criti-cism, insomuch that Borie, though retiredfrom office, is not permitted to rest in thatpeaceful oblivion to which it was supposedhis merits entitled him. As the State ofNew Hampshire has, through both itsLegis-lature and Historical Society, invited Mr.Robeson to reverse the single act whereinMr. Borie made his mark, wo cannot avoiddiscussing it.

Mr. Bone's official act was to change thenames uf fifty-nine vessels of the navy,taking forty-two of his new names from theBritish naval register, and malting up theothers “out of his own head,” or, what wasmuch the same, out of Admiral Porter’s.That forty-two of the names of our vesselsshould be the same os forty-two of those ofGreat Britain is a happy stroke of humor,for which wc giro Mr. Borie our apprecia-tive smile. Should the United States go towar with Great Britain, we will have theAmerican ship Atlas receiving the fire ofthe British ship Atlas, Her BritannicMajesty’s Goliath hulling the American warship Goliath, and the Admiral's flagshipMedusa attacking the Admiral’s flagshipMedusa,—all of which renders historyshort and easy for beginners, osthere are fewer names to re-member. It is true there willbe those who will think that these vessels,which won imperishable honor under thenames of the Nohant, Calskill and Nan-tucket, end under the command of Admi-rals Dupont, Dahlgren and Rodgers, oughtnot t« be compelled to exchange thesenames, which are nowpart of the history oftheir country, of the siege c f Charleston,the siege of Richmond and the capture ofNew Orleans, by,substituting for them thevapid and empty names of English vesselswhich have never been in action.Three little monitors which aided in thecapture of Wilmington—the Saugus, Ca-nonicus and Mshopac—are shorn of theirhistory by being renamed the Centaur,Scylia and Castor. The Sangamon, namedby President Lincoln, in pride, after hisown county, now receives the senselessname of Jason. The euphonious name ofOmaha is dropped for Benicia. Tippeca-noe, redolent of Indian, military and po-litical associations, is changed to Vesuvius.Warsaw, from the birth-place of AndrewJackson, gives place to Niobe. Fosh-ma-ta-ha, from an old Indian Chief and friendof Jackson, is changed to Cambridge.

In all these changes, cherished and patri-otic associations, dear to many of the offi-cers and sailors of our navy, are sacrificedfor some tminlelligible motive. The nownames are not naval, as names like Trafal-gar, Nile, Chesapeake, orPlattsburgh wouldbe; they are not euphonious, as many ofour Indian names are; nor hare they anyinspiring or patriotic associations. Theireffect to obliterate history is very likewhat would follow on army order changingthe name of the battle of Fort Donelson toFloyd's retreat, or of Vicksburg tcPember-ton’s compromised

But many of thesenames are conferred inviolation of the spirit of the statute. Thelaw provides that all vessels of more than70 guns shall be named after States ; thosebetween 40 and 70 after rivers; those be-tween 20 and 40 after cities, snd thoseunder 20 as the Secretorymay direct. Theclear intent is that the American navy shallcarry onr American names wherever theygo. The late Secretary bag given thenames of States to seven of the*-* vesselswhich have not a third of 70 guns,thus monopolizing names which be-long to larger croft, True, the revolu-tions in naval warfare lessen the numberof guns carried by the more effective warvessels. But this does not warrant theSecretary to issue on order, in which he

“in pursuance of law, to do pre-cisely what the law forbids. While wecan-not cl»im that the best taste haspreviouslybeen exercised in naming vessels, it is cer-tain that Mr. Borie made a botch of his at-tempted reform. We unite with KewHampshire in aaVing that Secretory Eobe-sou interfere in the matter, trustingthere mat be no doubt os to the result ofhis interference.

Mrs. Charles M. Pierce, of Cambridge,proposes to organize a “CooperativeKitchen,” to which twenty-five of the ladiesof Boston are invited to subscribe §IOOeach on behalf of their husbands; a bakerywith fiftysubscribers at §24 each ; a laun-dry with fifty subscribers at §3O each; and

a Btcre-room with 100 subscribers at §23

each. Upon this total capital of §6,700 sheproposes to relieve all her subscribers fromtbe vexations and difficulties of housekeep-ing: to send their worm meals, hot bread,dean linen and general groceries to their

houses at tho most economical rates—pro-vided they will themselves come or scudtheir daughters into the co-operativekitchen to do tho coohing, into the laundryto wash and iron, and into the store-room os clerks and bookkeepers.

Sirs. Pierce has an impression thatthe ladies of Boston will find it so attrao*tiro to got rid of the tremble of haringcer-rants do their work in their own honeys, bythemselves “going ont to service,” anddoing thesame work In her laundry, thatmany of them will bo willing to pay herseveral hundred dollars forbeing taught thebeauties of this system ofcooperation. Ifshe succeeds in getting them to subscribeSIO,OOO to build her kitchen, laundry,bakery, and storehouse, then to come inand perform the labor themselvesnecessarytocany on these branches of business un-der herdirection, and, finally, in inducingthem to pay handsomely for theprivilegeof serving in her kitchen, we «b*n con-clude that Mrs. Pierce is one of the shrewd-est operators in the field, and if allthe movers of cooperation have os shrewdan eye to the main chance as she, they canscarcely fail to make itpay.

CHEAT LABOR.An attempt is being made in some quar-

ters to array the workingmen's unions inhostility to the introduction of Chineselabor, on tho ground that tho Chinese willunderwork end supersede the more skilledworkingmen of the UnitedStates. Weregardthis species of hostility to cheap labor asjust as 'short-sighted and mistaken in itsaim os the old enmityof labor onions tothe introduction of new machinery andmechanical inventions. If China sendsover a million of workingmen and womenwithin five years, we shall need the servicesof at least 100,000 American workingmenas foremen tomanage iheir work, and twentyor thirty thousand more, who might haveremained laborers without tbU cheaper sup-ply of foreign labor, will become employers,contractors and capitalists. The mistaketbe members of tho trades-unions moke is insupposingthat they are to bo always work-ing for wages merely. This may bothe condition in some countries, butit is nothero. They should bo aiming todirect, instruct and command the Chineselabor, instead. of to oompote with it andcontinue forever on tho dead level of-com-mon journeymen. There is a vast amountof plodding, material, sluggish, brainlesstoil to be done, which Americans must dothemselves in the degree that they excludeimmigration of any kind, but which they,*by their superior intellectuality, get rid ofdoing by means of tho immigrant cheap

labor, to which theygive intellectual di-rection. 'What would the South have been'without African labor? What would theNorth have been without the immigrationof pauper labor from Europe? Would ithave been so profitable for the educatedand skilled workmen of America to havedug their canals, built their railroads andhoed their cotton with their own frwndq asit has been to employ, organizeand directthe cheaper European and African laborwhich has done it nnder their direction ?

Does not tho introduction of cheap laborsimply relieve tbe American skilled work-man from barren toil •in tho ranks to thohonors and emoluments of command ? Thetrue question, therefore, for the laborunions to discuss is whether China andJapan can ever send over here a more com-

■ potent and skilled chum of workmen timu' those which constitute tho unions them-selves? If they cannot, then tho morothey send the moro employment will booffered to the members of tho unions indirecting and instructingthem. AH that isneeded to make manufactures as profitablein Chicago, St. Louis and Memphisas inBirmingham, Manchester and Sheffield ischeap capital and cheap labor. But to theattainment of this result it is not necessarythat tho existing capitalists of tho countryshall get less incomes, or that tho existinglaborers shall got lower wages thanthey nowdo. With everyarrival of cheapChinese labor, Americans and Europeanswill be promoted from drudgery todirection,from physical toil to intellectual foreman-ship and command. With every accessionofcapital, the diversity of tho modes inwhich it can bo applied, and the rapiditywith which it can be turned over, willaffordthe capitalist a larger income from a lessrate of profit. Both the growth of cheapcapital and thoImmigration of cheap laborwill lessen thocost of production of all thonecessaries of life, and hence will lessen thenominal expenses of living. Tho LaborUnions will bo starting on a falsescent,therefore, if they consent to drift into hos-tility to the introduction of cheap Chineseor Asiatic labor.

TEE ENGLISH HOUSE OF lOEOS.Tbo English House of Lords occupies nf

tbe present moment a most precarious posi-tion. They in no sense representany por-tion of tbo people. Each of them is onestate in himself, and votes for himselfalone. They have no constituents, becausetho whole body of Peers ore members of tboHouse. They have, in tho matter of thoIrish Church, not only interposed their voteto defeat tho disestablishment of thatChurch, but Lave done bo in bold defianceof tho public wilt They have not, it istrue, rejected tbo bill, but have amended itso ns to defeat its objects. Tbo IrishChurch is a political monstrosity. It has nolaymen, but it owns an immense amountof property, which is held for thopersonal benefit of tho Bishops andclergy. A number of theso Bishops holdscats in the House of Lords, and have, withnearly all their brethren of tho F.ngliahChurch, voted to uphold tho Irish establish-ment. Tho bill, os it passed tho Commons,provides for tho support of tho present in-cumlwnts of the Church out of tho revenues,bat prohibits any newappointments charge-able to that source. It makes the supportof tho Church in Ireland hereafter depend-ent, like that of the Catholic and Presby-terian bodies, upon tbe voluntary supportof tbe people. It, of course, puts on endto Irish Bishops sitting in the House ofLords.

Mr. Gladstone, who has become a Re-former bj reason of the antagonism inwhich he has been placed to the old policiesof whichho was once a champion, has beenslow in his movements. In ISCG hedared not vote for a reform bill, eachas, a year later, the Tory party voluntarilygave to the country. The disestablish-ment of the Irish Church was a necessityto which be had to consent; but, since It hasbeen approved by the people, it has beenvigorously supported by him. The Douseof Lords now, by its opposition to the bill,forces him 'still' farther to act with thepeople, and ho will find it difficult to re-strain thepopular demand, should itoncebe made, for the restriction of the parlia-mentary powers of the Lords.

The recent disgraceful personal conductof a number of the Peers, and the fact thatthe perpetuity of- their privileges and theperpetuity of the land monopoly is regard-ed os dependent, one upon the other, havecaused throughout England a strong feelingin favor of a limitation, if not a partialabolition, of the hereditary privileges of theorder.

The Ministry have resolved to acceptnone of the amendments mode to the billby the Lords. Unless, therefore, theLords recode, there will be an open rupturebetween that body and the government,backed by the Commons and the Britishpeople. Appeal to the country on an issueof that kind will bo the beginning of thatrevolution in" public sentiment which nowonly awaits some strong provocation to tokoactive form. In that tcvolution the Houseof Lords will disappear os part of the Brit-ish Parliament.

THE FRENCH REFORMS.He Emperor of tbe French has scat to

the Legislative Corps n message announ-cing his purpose to concede to that bodycertain privileges heretofore denied, butwhich are strongly demanded by the minori-ty. To the Americanreader thoseconcessionsappear comparatively small alongside ofwhat is still retained, but to the Frenchthey are vast extensions of liberty. It*should be borne in mind, however, that theEmperor, whenever ho thinks proper, maywithdraw these privileges in whole or mpart. For the first time for many years theOpposition in the French Parliament is notonly strong, but has been sustained by alarge popular vote in nil partsof France. To bravo * this mi-nority, and -to brave the peopleby an assertion of absolutism, or to mokeconcessions which of themselves amount tonothing, so long as the majority adheres tothe government, were the only policies tobe selected from. Knpolcon adopted tholatter, and he thereby disarms, for thotime, the minority, in the estimation of thepeople. He proposes that hereafter theLegislative Corps shall choose its own"offi-cers; that the process of presenting and ex-amining amendments to the laws shall besimplified; that all treaties shall bo sub-mitted to the Corps for approval; • that tho

1same body shall have control Jof the budget,

the removal of the inability of Ministers tobold seats in the Legislature, and the en-largement or extension of theright of in-terpellation, or of the right to diw-riflqquestion the measures of the government.•These reforms ore a great step towards aresponsible Ministry. They look to arecognition of an opposition togovernmentmeasures, which, if in the majority, maycompela change of policy. The subjectionof the treaty-makingauthority to .the ap-proval of the Legislature is unknown inEngland, and is a substantial concession tothe nation.

Thostrength of tho Opposition, and thepopular discontent at tho recent elections,must have been much greater fbnn hasbeen made known outside, or tho Emperorwould not have abandoned prerogativeswhich ho has arbitrarilyheld since 1822.

The Democrats of Mississippi arc prettywell tired of being ont of tho politics of thecountry. They regret having defeatedthonew constitution, and are actively engagedin educating themselves upto rigid recon-struction, including oven the FifteenthAmendment They have become very ardentadmirers of General Grant, and, bya unan-imity somewhat remarkable, have concludedto drop tho rebel General Humphrey astheir Governor, and nominate Judge Dent,nowin Washington, Lot a citizcp of thatState, for Governor. They propose to takethe constitution . which they rejected twoyears ago; to elect Mr. Dent os Governor;to comply with all the terms and conditionsof the Reconstruction laws; accept negrosuffrage and political equality, and gener-ally become reconstructed on tho most rad-ical basis. They propose not only toac-cept the negro os a fellow-citizen, but tomake him on integral ’part of tho Demo-cratic party.

Tho New York Sun, which, in ito.at-tempt* to shine for all, outstripsits originalin tho feat of shining on both of thofence at once, is forward to *nnVA knownits for Schuyler Colfax as theRepublican candidate for tho Presidency,and of JohnT. Hoffman ostho Democratic.So far as wo can at present judge, nochoice on cither side would give the coun-try less surprise or more pleasure. Politi--cal parties, however, are qnite in the habitof taking their nominations from those whointend to vote their ticket, and a paper thatshines for “good Lqrd and good Devil”commits just one shine too many to admit6l its attaining a reputation as a prophetIt is quite possible, however, that tho Suncares little for such reputation, provided itmaintains one forshining, and that it cer-tainly does.

The attempt of tho counselfor Xerger tobring the question of the legality of mili-tary tribunals in the unreconstructed Statesbefore Chief Justice Chase, instead of be-fore the Justice‘of the Supremo Courtwhose circuit includes Mississippi, seems toindicate a hope on their part that tho per-sona! proclivities of Mr. Chase, or his po-litical ambition, would incline ratherthan his fellow Justices, to omm! this fea-ture of tho Reconstruction laws os uncon-stitutional. When it is remembered howlong and persistently tho Chief Justice re-fused to hold his courts in tho unrecon-structed States, on the ground that the civilcourts could not exercise their functionsthere, and, by inference, that none bat mili-tary tribunals could sit there, it is difficultto see how he can now decide that nonebutcivil tribunals can sit whereof late he heldthat civil tribunals could not sit at all.

Among the numerous excursions whichore making the tour,of thel Pacific Railroad,we suggest that a housekeepers’ excursionmight well bo got up for tho radical cure of“servant-gnl-iam.” Tho Chinese are gen-erally reputed to bo tho best house-servantsin tho world. Tho contractors for Chineselabor at San Francisco ran furnish them atfrom $5 tos7 per month. At present weare paying from $lO to sl2 for servantswho are frequently incompetent and un-touchable, and always independent, indif-ferent and wasteful.

Salt Laxx cmr, July 7.Last Monday the Saints celebrated

by an imposing demonstration, tbe nationalholiday, Brigham, without doubt, frompolicy, the people, because he said m. Thefnxilade of fire-crackers and pepper-box pistolswhich, fora week, had madelife In the city a bur-den, increased alarmingly during the small boon

| of the morning, and as dayat last broke was com-plementedby quite a respectable cannonade, sow-ing tbe late el umbers of the slothful with baddreams. Soonafter breakfast a procession formedby countermarchingon South Temple street, par-aded tbestreets two boon, and then filed Into the

, Tabernacle, whose twenty odd thousand square; feet were packed as boxes with sardines before

the doors were fairly opened, leaving hundredsstanding in the aisles, door-ways andround the outside, within hearing.There we had the “Mareemalse,M fronithe largestorgan in America, “America’' Itself by a choir ofyoung people, readingof the Declaration, ora-tions, speeches, toasts, Ac., interspersed withband music, the entire ceremonial holding aboutsix hours. Colonel David McKenzie, of theKan-vooLegion, 1 suppose, read the Declaration, and.like “the within person, sot to poetry by MarkTwain, “who always done his level best," 44 hedid It witha zest." Tome, whoam nota preju-dicedperson—not moch—lt sounded as though Itwere being mentally at plied to the locality herea-bouts, as an arraignment. In other words, uf the

’ United Stales by the Mormons; which, U true,would certainly be unjust, since the United Stateshas never laid a feather in the Way of Mormon-lim, but, on the contrary, inthe greatness of itssoul has nourished the viper m its bosom. C. H.Hawley, lately appointed Associate Justice of theTerritory, delivered, the oration. It .wasa full and sometimes eloquent account ofthe long straggle with slavery and of itsfinal overthrow. Tbeapplication was left to theMormons, ofwhom very feware Intelligentenoughto make it He was followed by the MormonElder, John Taylor, who, while professing un-bounded devotion for“the constitutionas U wasoriginally,’’ saidflatly “thatIt hadbeen assailed un-der various circumstances and atvarious times, aadhadbeen mutilated andchanged tomeet tbe viewsof sectional politicians and fanatical demagogues,”leavingthe inferenceunavoidable that he does notlike It as It la Next on the stand was MajorF. H.Head, late Indian Agent here, who spoke brieflyand well to the general topic; bat, in making nisadicuz to the Mormon people; passed as high anenlogmm on them aa itwould bo possible to passonany people. Mr.Head has tberight to do ashepleases, and he has tbe right to Iwar the conse-quences. In the present case, having Joined ourenemies, weare obliged toregard him aa such,that is all. The commemorative exerciseswere closedappropriatelyfor the circumstancesand the day and the entire farce, by PresidentGeorge A. Smith’s arraigningthe peopleand Gov-ernmentof theUnited States for drivingthe Mor-mons from Missouri and Illinois, and chargingthat for that reason the late civil convulsion,which engulfed a million lives and ten thousandmillion dollars, came upon them. A very com-prehensive vlewof tbe tremendous events of thelast few years, considering the standpoint andwho It was takenby.

Theparade and the procession were more in-teresting. All the principal buildings in the citysported a national flag, and these floated themountain breeze as though quite certainof It.Their bright colors seemed none the less Inspiringand assuring for tbe great shadow that rests uponthis volley like a blight. In the procession wererepresented all the industrial arts and trades, Inmany instances with much skill and In-genuity. The Mormons always succeed inanything of this kind, because, beingsecretly sworn to “obey counsel” under penaltyof death; when Brigham says wig-wag, evenman, woman and child wig-wagsas If moved by asteel spring. When an anasonda getswound wellround a horse, it has nothing to dobut be crushed.Therewas a company of mounted, and one of In-fantry mlituo, uniformedand armed, and present-inga very soldierlyappearance; two brass bands,which played ordinary pieces Indifferently well;a bevy of fair girls In white robes, hair dressed mcurlsand encircled with wreaths ol Cowers, wideblue ribbons foilingover the shoulder and acrossthebosom, npon which were printed the namesof the States mad Territories; a score of SundaySchools, carrying national flags and einhlcma,mottoes and devices of their own withoutnum-ber; and aa Immensemiscellany of persons la allsortsof vehicles and afoot. Some of tho Federalofficers walked in the procession.

There wasa fine chance to admire the womenand children before and while the processionwas fanning,but such an occupation in this cityhas Its perils. They do not believe here that menhave theright toadmire lovely women os the bestof tho works of God. We bad an Illustration ofIt only last week. Dan Costello was running hiscircus, gavenine exhibitions during the week, ar-craging |l,ooo gross receipts at each—l mentionas a (act for tbe carious that whereas, In Omaha,or Denver, or Chicago, one-fourth only of hlipatrons would be children (half-price); here one-half of .them were—well, oac night aa some ofhis men werereturningto their hotel In the dark,a man with two cocked revolvers stepped from be-hind a corner, and peering a second as if to makesure of his man, got quickly behind themand fin'dtwice, then ranaway and escaped, as lack wouldhave it only slightly wounding each of them.Next day tho church paper said it wasreported that one of them had insulteda Mormon woman I This is tho legitimate out-growthof thoeternal fulmlnatlons of the Mormonpress and pulpit about female virtue and tbereadiness of the male Saints to protect It, to re-pel oravengeany assault uponIt with the assas-sin's knife orbullet. It will readily be seen how’• insulting a Mormon woman"may ba made tocover theIndulgence to tho death of any privatepique whatever. A man Is found with his chinand 'locs turned up to heaven, minus tbe vitalspark, and the Mormons soy, “It is tho workofthe avenger of female virtue outraged." Godspeed himIn well doing 1 Yet they accuse us ofmendacity when we represent thanwo hold ourlives In Utah at their mercy, and'never tireofboasting.to thestranger of the quiet aud order oftheir city and country." This people " have no taste, no ' poetry

In their life or religion, all is plain andpractical and material, and so they arenot well-dressed any of them. Tbegins arc generally rather gracefullyformed, slen-derand well developed, and exceedingly naturalin everything. They never seem to think, even Intho mostpublic places, that anyone is observingthem; never seem embarrassed or show the leastbashfulness. Some, of a free, vivacious spirit,have much of the air and manner of what orecalled“fast ”women In theStates. The prepon-derance of girls In the procession, all dressed inlightcolors, gave Ita lively appearance, themostdisagreeablefeatures being their red hands aadarms, (poor things, they have to work fora living,most of them), made conspicuous by contrast withtheirlight white dresses, and their sprawling feet,which spoiledeverything. I soppose they cometohavebig feet from wearing shoes two or threesizes too large for them. It may be comfortablefor them, but, as the frogs said tc the boys. It isterrible on ua. Those young folks seem happy,too, when Intelligent enough to seem atall, not aware that nine-tenths ofthem are orphans In tho eye of the law. Youmight search through a whole Tabernacle full ofMormons,pew by pew, and fall to find as sod apair of eyes as you often meet elsewhere. Botperhaps this la because to have expressive eyesone must have a good deal of took Another un-pleasant feature of the procession was tho con-stant assertion, by means of mottoes and device?,of Mormonvirtue, chastity, Industry, courage, Ac.The truearticle never vaunts Itself, and U Us ownprotection. “Abash'd the devil stood, and felthowawfni goodness la.” But the courage ofaCommunitywhlrhTiptinM*ngcftadnatlnn imrfppnnjcircumstances has need, of self-assertion. So Idoubted the first and forgave them tho last. Thedisparity in numberof tbe Mormon children, fe-males largely predominating,gives a slight insightinto thoabsurdity of one of their Ideas. Theyclaim tobase polygamy chiefly onthe asserted factthat then are morefemales in theworld than males,But the tendency of ts in practice Is to reversethe order of nature, which has providedfora euz- ;pics of male births amounting to fiveper cent, and icause a vastly larger preponderance of female ibirths. So that if there U a surplus of women In <the world,and thatbo an evil, polygamy tends toIncrease instead of to remedy It. And farther,slncc,ln Morn.on belief,the woman cannotbe saved iexcept through marriage to the mao, who is tosave the last gcncration,whlch will be off women 7But perhaps they are willing “the devil. should itake the hindmost," . - . ,

Why, aa to their creed. It Is monstrous; com-pounded of all theabsurdities ever batched intheunhealthy turmoilof men’s thoughts. And onlylast Sunday, Bishop Elngaley, a high dignitaryofthe only distinctively AmericanChurch, theMeth-odist. recognized them as brother Christians byholding forthto them in the Tabernacle.

They are Just now making a strong efforttowardcommunism, Joseph Smith, the idiot, first or-dained It, thirty or forty years ago, bat It has sofar been too strong meat for even Mormon humannature. Now another attempt Is being made Inthe co-operative trade movement. George Q.Canon, oneof theheadlights of Mormon adven-ture, appealed to the people almost patheticallyatthe conference In April, to prove themselves equalto the demand, telling themIt was their callingtopossess and rule the earth, and particularly partsof Missouri and Illinois, whence they were drivenyears ago, and what a pity It wouldbe should they prove unworthy of theirmission. A communism in property attained,and it win be only one step moretoa communismof women and babies, like that ofFather Noyes, at Oneida, N.

passed at the last session ol the Legislature, isanothercommentary on forty-day legislation. Solong as thatbody Is composed of needy lawyers,who dependfor their pay upon “fees,” ao longwill the great agricultural Interests of theStatebe thus treated. Hundredsof similar unconstitu-tional and impracticable laws were passed or ar-rested in their passage by the Governor. So longos our villages and highways ore filledwith worth-less curs, so long must the small farmer foregothe profit and pleasure of growing mutton formarket or family use.

Theremedy is simple enough. The Constitu-tional Convention could provide fora specific taxon the caninefamily, or theLegislature might haveprovided foran ad reform assessment that wouldhave made the tax legaland collectable. If a doghas no value, order his destruction osa nuisance,for a dog of no value to his owner has noright tolive. Then, again, those who lose sheep by thesesheep-killing dogs should be paid lor them out ofthis land; and if It is not sufficient let it be paidoutof the general fund, to be reimbursed by an-other levy on tbe dogs. A tax of three or flvodollars on each dog would lessen their numberrapidly. On a farm near here is a tenant whoworks by the month. He owns two pigs, threedogs, a dozen chickens and six children. He neverowned a cow, and, perhaps, never wtlL The dogsorehalf fed,and are a nuisance to tho neighbor-hood; but there Is no way to getrid of them Inalegal manner, and of course no sheep would besafe within a mileof them. Almost any farmneighborhood can present similar cases. Itis a matterof surprise thatfamilies that have herdwork to make a living cannot see when theykeep a dogthey mightin its place keep a pig. Ifthepig Is given a good,clean warm pert, U makesas gooda pet for the family to lavish Its affec-tions uponas a great flea-breeding dog. Thesub-'juct laa matteriboth of law and of education.

A large number of our farmers, and of thesemostly small farmers,keep one ormore largeugly-looking dogs,under tbemistaken Idea of watch-ingthe premises. These dogsare aterror to boa-c?t strangers, bot to thethief are of no account,for they soon finda way to manage the dog; andwe read of murdersand thefts committed withoutany notice from the dog—“ the dog failed to givetbealarm.'’’

Experience has tanghtoa that nothing short orsome legalenactment or thekind wCI protect oneclass or honest industrious farmers from thevidonflhabitof another class. It Is bat anotherform of man's want of respect for himselfand the rights of his neighbors. Untilthe Legislature comes to oar aidor thecoarts pronounce the whole canine race>nuisance that la to be abated on every occa-sion, we cannot keep small cocks of sheep. Largesheep-ownerscan afford to herd their sheep byda; and pen them up at night;but this the wmifannercannot afford to do, and is thus drivenfrem the business; and then these large flock-mtstere ask of Congress to protect themby aidofa hightariff—that is, to give them a monopoly ofthebusiness.

It the dogswere out of theway, or if theown-ere of dogs should be taxed topay the damagedone to sheep by dogs, then we would see smallCocks of sheep on every farm in theState, andevery family tn the State would have cheap mut-ton, and the' manufacturers cheapwool. If the

profit oa wool-growing Is small, when pursued asa separate busmens, it will be vastly improvedwhen combined with mutton-growing. GreatBritain is calleda becl-catlng nation, which is alibel upon the Intelligence of her rulers and thecultivators of her sod. Theamount of beef con-sumed inproportion to mutton Is small. There thelawmakers havtan interest In the*oU and Its pro-ducts, but here ttey haveno such Intents, but aromainlya needy set ofpolitical rampjrcs. Whilewe have no faith In the present system of legisla-tion. It Is to be boiied that the coming Constitu-tional Convention willbe composed of a classofmen with more enlarged views—men who will nottlciic an audience of fanners with the Idea thatthey arc thepillars of the nation, when they aromade but the football of shysters. Let nshave such changes as will give to the crude ele-ments of the State a chance for their develop-ment. We need cheap transportation; the leastpossible restriction on trade with countries thatsupply us with those products thatcannot so wellbe grownhere. Takeoff the dogs, and you maytake thetariff off of foreign wool Giro us cheapInn and cheap machinery, and we con pa;a Jo-mcf-ne tax on home-grown beet and cone sugar.

The farmers and mechanics of thisSlate have ItIn their power to protect themselves in the next

COXfcTItmOKAL CONTENTION,and if they fall to do it,let themsuffer thecons c

quencea. In this county it hasbeen emphaticallysettled that no lawyeror professional man shallrepresent them, but some person of broad views,who hasbeen long identified with the progress ofthe country and Ita great leading Industrial Inter-ests. Sixth-rate attorneys, aa legislators andJudges, havedone more to bar the wheels of pro-gress than allother causes combined. They harecompelled the pioneer to fence in his forty oreighty acres of a homestead, to defend It againstthe herds of the stock-feeder, who. didnot ownanacre of land, but who has been given theright byourcourts topasture on the land of any man whocould not fence ont his stock. Had thecommon law In regard- to enclosures been en-forced, this State would to-day bare been worthmillions of dollar* more than she Is. Our best tun-ber has rotted downIn the thousands of ‘□files of

; useless fencing,that has been made to protect ourcrops from the cattle-owners. In some Instancesneighborhoods and townships have asserted theirnatural rights and thus protected themselves. ThetownofPhilo, In this county, la an exampleof thinkino. In that township every owner of stockmust takecare ofIt. And the result u, It is thomost flourishingtown in the county. Experiencehas shown them there that it is cheaper to fencein their stock than to fence out the grain. Appealafter appeal has been made to the Legislature tocorrect the evil, but these appeals could not haveattention, simply because no “fees" wm* withthem.I woule not exclude one eminentJurist, whether

of the bar or the bench, but no political lawyer,doctor, minister or schoolmaster shouldhold a seat in that convention.But let ns ’ send eueh men as havesome idea of the value of agriculture, mechanicsand commerce. This is no political party meas-ure, but one In which tbe great of tho peo-ple are interested, if errors are committed, theylost a long timeto plague ns, forwe cannot cor-rect then at the annualsessions. A goodconsti-tution will check class legislation, and give toeach departmentof industry an equal chance infhe race ofusefulness.

Our twoagriculturalcolleges need to be put ona basis of utility, and taken out of me hands ofimpracticabletheorists, and placed onthe road toprogress. These two collegesand the attachedfarms ought to boof value to the Industries, in-stead of tbe professions «n«i ■**•*»*** charities.The farms could be .rentedfor two or three thou-sand dollarsa year each, which would be betterthan tohave them so badly managedas at pres-ent.

We have no goodcommon roads, for want ofasystem adapted to tbe condition of the country.We mustcome to the same system pursued withthe streetsof cities—assess thecost on the proper-ty benefited. Until we do so It is nselw tothink of good roads outside of the city and vil-lage corporations.

In legislationthe great Interest has centeredIn,the “fees,” or, In vulgar parlance, “bribes,”without which tbe wheels of legislation moveslow, ifIt all. We should send our best men; menof probity, intelligenceand wealth. Suchaof men will be more out of thereach of impropermotives than any other. Theindustrial and com-mercial classes have moreat stake inthis matterthan would at firstappear. The new constitu-tion, if rightly constructed, will do much toin our onward march.

Outside people talkof Illinois os simply a greatagricultural State, and appear to Ignore our Im-mense water power and great supply of coal formanufacturing,and the part that we mayplay lalocal and general commerce. These two last con-ditionsof things give doable interest to thecon-vention that Is about to be chosen to changeoarorganic law.

A XXW HIBJIOW TOOTH.A new invention in the wayof harrow teethis

being offered to the farmers. It is called “thestccl-polnted hollow harrow tooth." Halt-inchgaspipe la cut Into sections of six Inches, usingseventy-two for a double Scotch barrow. Intotbe end of these is driven a plaof half-inchroundsteel, which is welded and pointed, making a

. strong yet light tooth. The samplebarrow triedon my premises contained twelve bars with sixteeth each, ten Inches apart fromcentre tocentre.It is a superiorharrow for our prairie lands. Theteeth ore the only thing patcnled. We regret tosee so gooda thing hawked about tbecountry forthe sake of township and farm rights. Gentle-men, manufacture your teeth and* put themon sale In the implement stores, withthe Irons for meharrow, and you will pat moneyla your pocket and receive tbe thanksof the farm-ers. Your expenses will catap the profit in sell-ing the patent. A former who buys apatent mustsemi the deed to the Patent Office for record, orhis right is of no value and ho cannot enforce luThe actual cost of making this superior harrow isabout 115,and theIdeals, that they will retail at(30, which Is no such a thing; no farmer will pay|3Ofora barrow, for hoknows U Is doable the cost.Any farmer having tho teeth and ironcan makethis harrow Just as good os it Is doneat the shops.

MAXING A QASBOW.Wc want ofoak—12 pieces 2x3X inches, S feet long;C pieces inches,0 feel long.

40 carriagebolts, *;x3yt Inches.The bars arc set two inches from centre to cen-

tre, and the cross bars three to each part of thebarrow, and Joined into the bora half aninch, on abevel of two and a hair Inches tothe foot. The teeth oreset ten laches apart in thebars. This gives a capacity of twelve feet to theharrow. Theironingwill costabont threedollarsforhingesand irons for hitching the ends of thebarrow to theadjustable bar to which the whlffie-trecaare attached. Those who have seen oruseda double-swathe harrow will have no difficulty Inthe premises, and will have a very superior har-rowat a costol material and labor not exceedingfifteen dollars, and Includinga fairroyalty for tbepatent teeth.

The way harrows arc now made and sold costtoo much for transportation and commissions.Last spring 1bad occasion to purchase two har-rows, but the two cost twenty-eight dollars, withthirty-six teeth caclu Instead of purchasing theharrows ready-made, I obtained tbe Umber for theframes at theUmber-yardf the teeth ready-madeat the Implementstore, with carriage bolts, andhad thehinges mode; and, when done, tho cost,with labor Included, aud all at retail .prices,footed up sixteen dollars—asavingof six dollarson each barrow. The large harrow with thopotent hollow teeth will leave a good profit tooilat fifteen dollars. A hand-saw, an Inch chisel, abrace andbltts oreall the toolsrequired, and theseevery formermust have on hard.It is timethatwc began to cheapen some at oar

(arm Implements, ana sec that wc get the verybest.

Theproposition to abolish the Patent Office laEngland, 1 sec is meeting with favor, and unlesswc can abate some of tbe evils in our own. Itwouldbe better toabolish thatalso. Few of thoreal Inventors can make a dollar out of their in-vcnUons, but the money goes Into the hands ofsharp*™- More thanono-half of tbenew patentsare a fraud uponthe public. Tho new order ofthings in thePatentOffice may have a goodeffect—at least It is tobe hoped for. Wo are outof pa-tience with seeing Mr. John Jones with hU doubloback action ring bolt attachment, or hli model ofa new fly trap.

SEEDING WITH GRASS.Every farmerhas found a difficulty In seeding

with gnus and clover; not so much with tbe lat-ter, forthat Is quite uniformlysown la March andgenerally makes a good stand. Not so of tbegrasses, for the seeds of these are small, and Ifcovered too deeply do not germinate,aud If theweatheris too dry-thesmall plants are killed be-fore they can penetrate deep enough toreach per-manent moisture. In Central and South Illinoisthe losses In this directionare greater than at thenorth. When the seed la sown with the springgrains they oreoften killed with the dense shade,or make such asickly growth that the sun killstheplants so soonas tho grain iscut. When onewonts to seed with tbe spring grainsit is better towait until the grainis cut, then harrow thestub-ble and sow at once. Thestubble netsas a mulchand a good stand Is assured, and aheavy crop ofbay or good pasturage is obtained the next sea-son. In case tbe land must be plowed, thisshould be done in the fan, the ground,harrowed and rolled ready for seeding, and tbeseed sown during any of thewarm daysof winter.If a light snowIs on tbe ground one U enabled tosow more evenly and this time is moch to bepreferred. A good crop of hay can be cut thesame season. Rye is the only small grain at allsuitable to seed downto grass, and this Is not ad-visable, only when used lorpasture.

tPBOU OUB 6TBCUL OOBRBSPONDBNT.)acquets, ua, July8, iso.

It was the fortune of the writer, not long since,to hear theopinion of Ben on the questionswhich have agitated thepeople of Georgiasincethe war. While the coune taken by EUI hasbeencondemned by many of the more conservative amimoderate Democrats, there Is no doubt but behas donemore any other man intheState tomonld and form the opinionsof his people andcontrol theactionof his party; and he Is to-daythe ablest mao to the conservative party ofGeorgia, not excepting A. H. Stephens. Stephensis oftentimes Impracticable, and easily turnedfrom his course, milIs more practical-and un-yielding In any -position assumed by him.Stephensloses the confidenceof his party by dis-coveringthat they make mistakes, and Is some-times inclined to pursuea moderate,conservativecourse, mu adopts the most ultra views, and, 1he doubts the policysometimes adopted by bisparty, does not make his fears known, but laoorsto bold theparty in a soUd phalanx, ever confi-dent in the Justice of theircause and the goodJudgmentof their leaden.In theconversation referred to mil explained

thepolicy adoptedwhen the work of reconstruc-tionin Georgiawas commenced. Bo said it wasevident to h's mind that in order to unite the vir-tue, respectability and wealth of the white peopleof Georgia,and oppose a party In solid mass totheRepublicans, the prime requisite was to moleHadieaUmi ditreputallt,and be accordingly labor-ed for the attainment of that object. Be said beknew Seymour was already defeated by the bondInfluence, at tho time he made his July speech, lastyear,and the effort on that occasion .was only apartof hisplan to makeRadicalism odious.

In reference to the chargethat he is the head ofthe Ea-Hlux organisation In Georgia, he scoutsthe Idea of the existence of any snch body, and■ays it Is merely this eomnninlty of sentimentexist-ingtn the party of virtue and respectability whichImpels them torise up, without organization, fortheprotection of theirhomes and firesides, againstthe lawlessness which stalks abroad In the land.And it is tbe knowledge of the existence of thissentimentamong the people which deters the massof Ignorant vagabonds and cut-throats fromtheperpetrationof crime. Besays it la thisunity offeelingamong tbe people which alone makes lifeand property secore In Georgia.

In the present condition of the country, he ofcourse only sees an overthrown constitution, ap-proachinganarchy, dissolution, and other evils toonumerous tomention. Of Grant he hasa betteropinion'than some of our Republican Journals.He thinks Grant wants to be honest, and,'ln fact,is honest, with adesire to do right; bat be hasbeen elevated toa position for which he is neitherfittedby capacity nor education. He loots uponour President aa totallywithout theelements ofstatesmanship. In his effort to forman adminis-tration which should ignorethe politicians, he se-lected a Cabinet of weak men, who were takenbythe politicians as easily as they would capture aflock of sheep. With such men as Millard Fill-more inbis Cabinet, theadministration wouldhavebeen able to cope successfully with the politicians—would have been strong with tho people, andwould have made a lasting reputationforGeneralGrant.

Han; other things were spoken of during tbeconversation, which was given In a public place,without special reference topublication.

By therecent decisionof the Supremo Conn ofthis State it la decided that the negroes have theright to bold office in Georgia, butas each branchof theLegislatureis made the Judge of tbo eligi-bility of its own members, this decision would notreseat the expelled colored men. There la quite astrong feeling, since the decision, in favor of vol-untarily reseating the members, since tokeepthem oat woald be exercising a mostunjust privi-lege after their action had virtually been pro->noonced illegal. Whether this honorable feelingwill continueuntilthe Legislature convenes willdepend somewhaton the coarse of events, and thenecessity for tbeexercise of policy In order topreserve the presentState organizationfrom revisionby Congress, If the colored men ore permitted totake thclr.seatsIt will still leave theRepublicans Ina minority, and It Is, therefore,of little Importanceto the Radicals, aside from the vindicationof thelaw, whether the expelled members are reseatedor leftoat in tbe cold.

In this connectionthere is quitean amusing in-cident regardingBelcher, the United States As-sessorfor this district. When the colored menwereexpelled on tbe ground that they hod morethanone-elghth negro blood, Belcher and Clarkwere foundto bo so near white that they werepermitted to retain their seats, not having (hoamount of African blood which constitutesa barto holding office. This spring, however, whenBelcher was appointedUnited States Assessor forthe Augusta District, the astounding discoverywas made by the Democrats that Belcher is a'’Digger,” and by some was thought tobe as"black as tbeace of spades.”

Bcichcrisa descendant of one of the first fami-lies of the Palmetto State, being tbe natural sonof a wealthyplanter In theAbbeville District, lieIs well educated, and tonear white thatthe pres-ence of African blood woald not bo recognizedamong acrowd of his "superiors.” Ho enteredthe Union army from Philadelphia, and was pro-moted to the Captaincyof tho company in whichhe enlisted. The papers here do not have muchto say about, and nothing against him, exceptthat heIs a "nigger.”

TheMacon Postmaster, Turner, la an African ofmore decided hue and less exalted parentage.Thopolicy of appointing negroes to Federalofficelaof exceedingly doubtful propriety, evenIf theywere in every case honest and competent. If theyarc appointedhere in tho south simply to showthetr former masters how powerless they are inthe choice of their own rulers, (t Is tho exercise ofa contemptiblespite totally unworthy of agreatgovernment and a greatpeople. If it Is absolutelynecessary to demonstratethat the colored man isjustos goodos the white mao, and In every wayos capable, let tho President appoint a negroPostmaster forBoston, on the recommendation ofSumner, Wilson and Boutwcll, where It certaintycould not appear Uks exercising petty maliceagainst » conquered people. No one rejoicedmore at tho downfall of the rebellion than yourcorrespondent, and over five years’ service attest-ed his faith In the Union cauite; but It dues seemos though there may be "too much oi a goodthing.”Tbe abstract right of tho colored man to hold

office should not bo abridged, *nd whereverbecan be elected tooffice by themajority of suffragesbe should bo permittedto exercise and enjoy theprivilege. Under such on arrangement be wouldperhaps hold office more frequently In the Souththanat theNorth, for he would be occasionallynominated here, while at the North he neverwoald be, though he were ten tunes a Fred. Doug-

lass in ability.SOCIAL 03TIU.CIHX.

The efforts of UUI and Toombsto make Radical-ism odious have been eminently successful, andthe white peopleof this sectionare almost a onitagainst the Republicanparty. They will not asso-ciate with a Republican, nor trade with him, ifthey know it, in factthere are instances in thiscity where men have deliberatelywalked into thebusiness places of Republicans, and taken custom-ers by the hand, telling them, in the presence oftheproprietor, thatthey must not trade there, forIt was a Radical concern. Menbare been drivenoutof business inthinmanner, and to feelemphatically that it was not only socially disa-greeable,bat pecuniarily a losing matter, to con-Unac in their political faith. And yet some ofthese men have dared to continue inthe faith,trustingfor time to mollify or changepublic opin-ion. There cxe some Republicans In the Stalewhoarc foolishenough to think they can *"■*«» aplatform moreacceptable tothe people by eschew-ing negro office-holding Radicalism; trot thismovement is not likely to {wove a success, for theold rule that he who “Is not for ns is against ns"Is tbo maxim here, ami there is no halfwayground. They most either leave the party en-tirely or support the national platform.

Itwouldbea very nice question to determine,.from theappointments In this State, whether Gen-eral Grant's policy Is Radical or Conservative.The Assessor here is of negro extraction, and &

“straight-out "Radical. Turner, of Macon, is afall-blooded African anda Radical of the SumnerschooL Bryant, the Postmaster here, is a con-servative Republican, believing that niggersshould have oil the., rights except office-holding.He is from Maine, was formerly connected withtheFrecdmen's Bureau,- and ft Is supposed re-ceived his appointment through the influenceofSenator Joshua Ttm, Ferros, -the Collector, Is anative, is s conservative Republican, on thesameplatform.with Bryant. -• Neither(A these gen-tlemen hare gainedanything by conservatism, forthey are both looked down upon by the whites,and their course construedasmerely a little“art.fol dodging’’ to keep themselves within the paleof respectability. In'conversation with a gentle-man of this dry yesterday, he remarked that hehad known Colonel Ferran for twenty years andhad always looked upon himas a highly respecta-ble man until he joined the Radical party.

This city is said to have the best class of men inoffice,and the best government enjoyed for manyyears. Of coarse the cityofficials are all Dcmo-

, crata, for noneothers could beelected. Thecon-: trol of affairs has Insensibly passed from thegrasp of the Republican party, and the appoint-ment of negro Assessors and Postmasters will notrestore uto the party, wane iheifhppotntmeaiagainst the wishes of the great majorityof the people does but exasperate and embitterthe Community against the government. If Mr.Sumner and Mr-Boutwell think they can restorethe control of the State Goverement to the Re-publican party by persisting in this policy, thesooner they come down hereand learntheirmis-take thebetter U winbe for the whole country.It has been a misfortune to the country that

someof ourpublic men hare attempted to buildplatforms on the basis of a superficial knowledgeacquiredby aresidenceof tiro or thru dam to theSouth. Not a few have foiledentirely to van the ‘

reconstructed States. Something more practicaland less spiteful Is required. Jar.

THE QREEHYIIXE MURDER.Fnll Accounts of ttoo Tragedyi

From the St, Louie Democrat, July 12.On .Wednesday and Thursday mornings ourreaders were startled by the announcement ofone of the most brutal murders ever perpetrat-ed, at Greenville, Bond County, Illinois. Thevictim was Mrs. Jesse McAdams, a young

married woman, scarcely 15 years of age,and the circumstances plainly indicatedthat an attempted ravishment had beenfoiled by her,and that. In maddened desperation,the villain whose lust had led him to one gravecrime, committed another of the most bloodywickedness to screen himself from detection. Themurdered woman had probablybeen decoyedfromher house to the barn, where the attemptedrasewas to havebeen consummated,-and when shesaw tbe objectof the villain, she fled, screaming,fromhim to thewheat field, possibly to hide, butwasovertakenand foully murderedby stabs witha small knife, and at last by cutting her throatfromcar to car.Thenews was spread by a neighbor, and thepeopleof tbe vicinity gathered fromall directionsunderthe most intense excitement, that has in-creased ever since. By degrees itcame to be rea-soned thatthe crime wascommitted by some onewho knew the circumstances surroundingthe vic-tim, and onealter another erldcuccs that pointedto the neighborwho heralded the murder werebrought to light, and hla arrest followed. Pointsare strong against him, bat they are yet entirelyInsufficient to show that some one else may notV* the fiendwhobos donethe deco. The friendsof the excellent woman murdered are natn-rally under great excitement, and the prisoneris in danger of a speedy death by lynch-law.Bat we counsel them to refrain froia sounjustifiable a proccedure. The accusedshould be fairly tried, and all the moredeliberatelybecause of the indignationfelt againsthim. If guilty, he will be proved so, and a terri-ble doom will follow. Bat if by chance ho be In-nocent—and there Is a chance of U a deepercrime willrest npon those who take violentmeas-ures against him thanhas been committedagainstpoor Mrs. McAdams. Bat we are glad to learnthatwise and considerate counsels are prevailing,and we doubt not our friends at Greenville willtemper their just indignation to legal exactions.We have two fulland interestingletters fromthescene of themurder, by differentauthors, and thesubject has excited an Interest thatwill iasttfy asin giving them in full, notwithstanding some ,statements an mode In common.

She had received fiveknife wounds In her left and three In her rightside, about two Inches deep. Her threat was cutback to herran, and had been stabbed on eitherside. There were also two severe bruises onecr faceevidently Inflicted by blows of a fist. Nofacts were elicited by tho Coroner's Jury thugcaused suspicion torest onany person; but on thefollowing dayabout seventy citizens assembled atthe scene of tbe murder, determined to ferret tbomystery to its depths. A Chairman was electedand attorney# appointed, after which two wit-nesses were examined, neitherof whom gave im-portant testimony. Next, John More (not“Moore,"as In the despatch), who was the first toreport tho murder, and against whom suspicionhailby this timearisen, was sworn, and gave thisaccount of what hoknew of

Two or threehoora previous to the discovery of the murder,according to his wife’s statement, hoadvised herto goand keep company witha lady livingnearby who was about to be confined, bnt with whomshe had scarcely acquaintance.After having visited the dead body in companywith the men from the wheat field, he wenthome and changed his panta and boots*

when.' Tuesday, questioned under oath, andbeingtold that his wife bad toldthat he had sent her toMr. Dnlreea’after returning from his wheat, hesaid he hod sent her “because Mrs. D. waa lone-some,”and thenacknowledged he had remainedat tbe house whileshe was gone about three quar-tersof an hour.

More having changed hisclothes they were sent for, and stains ofblood be-ingfound uponhis boots and pants fixed the sus-picion nponhim, as he couldnot give any accountofbow they came there.

ARREST OP MORE, AND D.TEX3B FEELING.It was finally decided (after further investiga-tion and no new discoveries) to arrest More,which was immediatelydoneat hU house, he hav-

ing gone homea few minutes before. When toldby tbeSheriff thathe wa* a prisoner, it Is said hoburst into tearsand sold If he hada gun he woaldshoot himself. Thefeeling la the enurecommu-nity has been intense, and crowds have been col-lected on the streets discussing the altar, andsome boldassertions bare been made in favor oflynch-law, but it is hoped and believed that themajority of the citizens would not countenanceorpermit such outlawry, and that the prisonerwill have a fair and impartial trial, and, if notfoand guilty,will be allowed to go unmolested.

The evidence of thefact Is his owaconfession oftho diabolical deed.

Mrs. McAdams was young and beautiful, of apure character and unblemished reputation. Thowifeof a worthy mao, she had modestly filledherstation with universal esteem and tho warmat-tactunentof all who knew her. John More, thohusbandof a goodwoman,with one child to claimhisprotection, was tho nearest neighbor to thehappy family. They knew each other intimately,and fora year had been friends. Mure, thoughbearing m general a good character, was given tolicentious indulgences, more or less concealed,and thus became lost to all morel character.
