But he did not get the wine. the Directory of twelve, William Jennings, a leading merchant in the Church, B. F. Cummings, a wholesale polygamist, and, finally, John Taylor. All these, with the exception of the last named, answered the questions put to them with apparent candor, and their replies, so far as pertinent to the matter, were written down in full, and sent to the Herald for publication. Some delay occurred in printing the communication, but it appeared in the issue of that sheet of the 15th inst., and it will be interesting to our readers to give the substance of the views expressed. Mr. Cannon pronounces this appeal to foreign governments a political maneuvre, designed to create a public sentiment against the admission of Utah as a State. Some European powers, he believes, may be averse to emigration on any account, and Mr. Hyarts, De Winks probable, wrote the letter with a view to play upon that feeling. But this action of the Administration he regards as a recognition of Mormon growth and influence, and it is a fulfillment of Latter-day prophecy; “for,” he says, “it was predicted at the beginning that the system would grow and receive the attention of townships, of counties, of cities and States of the Federal Government, and finally of all governments.” Before he left Washington he was told that the pressure of other affairs had alone kept the hands of the Administration off the Mormons, and that soon action would be taken with the view of deterring the Democracy from admitting Utah as aState. He thought it possible that there was a direct connection between the defiant attitude of the Saints under the. Reynolds decision of the Supreme Court and this proceeding of the Government. He said further; T learned while still in Washington that letters had been sent on from here stating that the Mormons were more determined to practice polygamy, and that plural marriages were entered into in greater number than ever, and such was the general impression in Washington. With regard to his proposal of amnesty for past violations of the antiPolygamy law, Mr. Cannon told his interviewer: 1 took this ground, that if the past were ignored, the Government would then have acted magnanimously, and would be in a position to enforce the law in future with good grace. Senators and the President agreed with me that the past would be well enough ignored, if the Government could have any security or pledge of obedience to law in future. Of course, I could not give that, and I don’t know any one who could. This is uncandid, because the heads of the Church have it in their power to withhold permits or dispensations tor polygamous marriages, or the officiating priests in the Endowment house and the St. George temple could be instructed to seal no ‘more celestial spouses. He denied to Mr. Hollister that he has urged polygamous marriages pon his devout followers since his return from Washington, having merely maintained that the principle is sound, that the practice was Divinely commanded, and that it is a tenet of the Latter-day reiigion, upon which the future salvation of the Saints depends. Then he p oceeded to give himself away by admitting that very many Mormons are not polygamists, theéoretically or practically, such persons being lacking in faith. “There are different degrees of salvation or exaltation,” he explained, ‘the polygamist alone reaching the highest degree of glory.” It was the most natural thing in the world for the interviewer to remark upon this, “It is the mystery of mysteries of my life to hear men like you talk in that way.” Albert Carrington pronounced Mr. Evarts’ letter a step in advance of the Reynolds decision, as that judicial award allowed freedom of belief, (al‘though restricting freedom of action.) while the former would restrain Mormons from coming to this country simply on account of their religious behef. Great Britain, he felt sure, would have nothing to do with such a business. ‘The British Government,” he said, “is more liberal than ours or than any other, and the citizen of Great Britain is freer and better protected in his rights.” But in that favored land, the apostle should remember, the citizen is not allowed to set up a claim of religion as authority for outraging public morality and polluting his home. He agreed with his fellow apostle (Cannon) that this letter to our consuls abroad will have the effect of drawing attention to Mormon propagandists and stimulating inquiry. “It is like kicking a mustard stalk when it is ripe,” he remarked, “the more you kick it, the more the seed will be. scattered.” Mr. James Sharp thought the Ad- present condition of the missionary field in Europe. “Some countries are pretty hard tolabor in now,” he said. “Outside of what are called orthodox sects, there is no more ideaof religious liberty in Germany than there is of republican government in France. There is no prohibition or law against our proselyting in those countries, but they will get alot of the lies that have been written about us and use them to raise a feeling in the community. Then complaint will be made, the whole trouble being fomented by priests (not holy and everlasting priests, however), and the elders will be arrested and thrown into prison for a few days. We haye not been allowed much freedom in Germany or Russia. Great Britain, Scandinavia and Switzerland are our best ground, the latter being a sort of cover for operations in Germany. The baptisms are not so numerous as thirty years ago, but they nearly equal the shipments. Asto getting a supply of women to meet the demands of polygamy, we don’t have to go to foreign countries for that. The women of otir country apply in great numbers. I could get a hundred of thei if te amen to. , Dee” are glad to get good htisbands. In this they are moved by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Said the Herald correspondent: ‘When it becomes a settled principle that general reputation is sufficient proof of polygamous marriage, and we fill the jails with you, what then?” “Oh, we'll serve out our time,”’ was the jaunty reply, ‘and then come out and marry again. The principle has been given from Heaven, and its universal acceptance will dry up the foun- tains of prostitution.” The Herald editor comments upon this: “The confessions of one of the leaders of opinion that a hundred women are anxious to marry one man because they are moved by an inspiration of the Holy Ghost, sounds like an emanation from the devil.” But this exalted Saint must overrate his attractions, surely. He forgets that he is verging upon three score anc ten, and that his features are superlatively homely. Mr. William Jennings scouted at the idea of stopping Mormon emigration. “The class of Mormons coming here now,” he said, “I consider a very good class of citizens, and I don’t think any of them come here with the intention of violating the law.’ His further opinions conflict with those expressed by Bro. Wells. ‘“Wedon’t want to go into the pen,’ he added, or render “ourselves liable to. Besides, there seems to be about, as many young men as young women ready and wanting to get married, anl this has a pretty weighty bearing of its own.’’ fe believed there were fewer polygamous marriages made than formerly, for, said he, speaking from personal experience, “certainly no man who wants to lead an easy and comfortable life will ever go into polygamy.” He avowed his belief in the Divine character of polygamy, but quite astutely remarked, “at the same time, if the Lord fails to provide a way to carry out His will in this particular, why we can’t carry it out, that’s all.” Bro. Cummings stood upon “higher law.’? No man is ever asked to enter into polygamy, the aged Saint remarked, but they have all the right to dv so if they want to. (Mixing the number of his pronouns sadly.) It is a tenet of our religion, and we have a right to practice it regardless of any court in the world, and the Constitution bears us out init.’ This the reader can accept as a revelation. But he admitted that many of the emigrants—most of them—thousands of them—will never enter into polygamy, although they may believe in it. ut he was indifferent about the issue. ‘‘Because we are few and weak, they (the Government) do as they please touching us, regardless of law and justice. We have no friends but ourselves and our God. For my- self I am perfectly willing to leave the issue with*Him. And while I regard such action as wholly unwarranted, I care nothing what they do, no more than about the howling of a pack of wolves—not a particle.” The last man seen was ‘“white-headed John—the chief apostle and head of the Church.”? He looked feeble, and his attendants said he was cross— vexed at the suit of the heirs against him and troubled with the dissensions among his followers. He did not want to talk on the subject. He regarded the alleged circular as a very thin mist, he had no idea that it had any substantial existence. He thought it rather weak statesmanship to make Mormonism an international question, and for our Government to ask foreign governments to assist it in regulating the morals of the Mormons. Such is the conflicting testimony borne by half a dozen prominent men in the Mormon Church, from which the following points are deducible. (1) Bluster and threats will not be resorted to to deter the officers of the Government from enforcing the laws. (2) It will be the policy of the Church silently to drop polygamy. The will of the Lord ought to be obeyed, but if He provides no way, what are His perplexed children to do? WHO IS3 RESPONSIBLE POLYGAMY? FOR The last Heine of the Saints’ Ieraid, the official organ of the Re-organized Mormon Church in Illinois, contains the following paragraph, by which it appears that some interesting revealments concerning the origin of polygamy may be expected: The leading article in the Herald for ministration with its circular was playOctober ist will be the “Last Testiing into Mormon hands; “like much mony of Sister Emma,” wife of Joseph of our tomfoolery,” he said, “ playing the Martyr.

According to present indications, the next.Congress is pretty sure to be Republican, -and this will be death tothe fruition of their hopes. So that the investing of polygamy with sovereign power is not within the range of probability, and its supporters will be left to fight it out on this line, though they should wage a losing conflict. And how will the fight be conduct. ed? An appeal has been made to Almighty God to protect His perseeuted Saints from the rage of sinful man; but the Almighty does not intervene. Higher law has been invoked for a reversal.of the judgment of the Supreme Court, but the Celestial tribunal announces no edict. This leaves the Mormons unsupported in their antagonism with the laws of the country, a position which no prudent man—no law-abiding citizen, would be willing to assume. Itis true the law against polygamy is not enforced now, being so defective in its provisions that a| conviction under it can hardly be obNo money either is furnished tained. the District Attorney to prosecute such cases, hence a very vigorous raid upon polygamists can hardly be expected at the approaching term of Court. But however ineffective the law, it has all the sanctity of a law, and the man Who violates it, knows that he becones obnoxious to public sentiment. Crime can no longer be justified by the plea that the law which prohibits it is unconstitutional ; it has been pronounced valid by the highest court of the land, and from this judgment there is no appeal. Hence it is‘not to be wondered at that pdlygamous mar- riages are falling off. “We don’t want to go into the pen,” says Bro. Jennings, “or render ourselves liable to.” B. F. Cummings says that most of the emigrants thatare now gained from Europe will never enter polygamy, however much they may believe in it. . They may regard marital multitudinousness as the will of the Lord, but since He has failed to provide a way to carry out his will, they cannot be blamed for diregarding it. Under such circumstances, polygamous marriages naturally fall off, and the impure relation will grow more and more into disesteem as Gentile influences diffuse themselves in Zion It would be an easy matter for John Taylor (the only authorized revelator of the Church—a sort of prophet laureate) to get a revelation forbidding its continuance; or it would be an easier matter to issue an order to the officiating priests to celebrate no more polygamous marriages inetemple or Endow ment house. . But this would be eating crow, ap unsavory dish, and partakes too apparently of selfstultification. {[t will be allowed to die a silent death. All who have entered into the unhallowed relation admit that it is destructive of domestic happiness. Bro. Jennings in one of his candid moments, says, “Certainly no man who wants to lead an easy and comfortable life will ever go into polygamy.” And a rustic Saint who visited the present writer in his tent during a recent outing, exclaimed with intense energy, “If you want to have a hell upon earth, marry two wives.” The misguided soul had been there. As the champions of polygamy fall away in number it will become odious to those unstained with its foul presence. It is a hissing and a reproach to the spirit of the age, and has only been retained by the appetite of the’ gross and the folly of those who believe : a Divine command. But as rows into — disuse... among ite Saints, there will be a restiveness under the reproach which it brings upon the whole people. The followers of the sons of Joseph ing halfas tion) have Smith, (aumber- many as the Brigham facpurged themselves of the impurity, and a similar tendency is also in operation in Utah. It will be combatted by the holy priesthood because they are jealous of their power, but as the lawless practice is pretty much divested of its sacred character, they will find their authority—the powers, and keys, and mysteries—inadequate to resist the sober judgment of their followers.

If any one doubts this he has only to note the fact of the arrival yesterday from Europe of 350 converts to this modern religion.

All their converts can be POLYGAMY. ot “The price the Mormons. will prepared to pay for admission’’ THE Jury brought to Utah, they say, by resortin tothe simplest of devices. To avoi interference is, they believe, “casy as lying.” The main idea of Mr Evarts, it has been intimated, is to impress upon the class of foreigners who generally fall victims to the wily missionaries, that polygamy is punishable as a crime in the United States. The answer of the Mormon apostles is that it flourishes in Utah; that it is part of their religion; that the spasm of “persecution” will pass by and all will be rosy again. It merely puts upon the missionaries a little extra aaa one dashed occasionally with bold mendacity, to smooth matters over. This, we know, the missionaries can bear. They have long preached in the United States and abroad under difficulties, and have even been wont, where they detected any squeamishness among the inquirers, to slur over the polygamous side of their faith altogether. Where, however, the carnally inclined neophytes were greedy for particulars _ of erfect harems in the Salt Lake Valley, they could be obtained without any difficulty from thesé same missionaries. A system of proselytizing so elastic has little to fear from so simple a missile as Mr. Evarts’ letter. It may do some good as a warning fora little while, but the Saints are patient and can wait until the circular is forgotten. What will really act as a deterrent is stern action by the government in Utah itself. Inthe series of defiant ormon utterances we printed a few days since, might be detected an undertone of discouragement when the possibility of the law being put in force against polygamists there -was brought before them.

That not until after Bailey’s confirmation and Mosby’s dispatch had in part been published. in a Washington -paper, did the Secretary of State take notice of the charges. The Department then sent General Stahl, Consul at Hiogo, Japan, a friend of Seward and Bailey, to investigate the truth of the charge made by Mosby. General Stahl sought to have Bailey explain the charges. Stahl has concluded his investigations and has reported to the Department that the charges of Bailey’s embezzlement from the Government while consul at Hong Kong, as made by Mosby, are true. Also Seward’s private secretary, olcomb, has written letters to various officials in China denouncing Mosby; also that Seward is using his influence to shield Bailey and prevent investigation.
