their operations in their own way us private pursuits. “We introduced into the postal system not long ago a provision for carrying merchandise. but we did not think it necessary to buy out the operators of the Adams Express Company, or the Southern Express Company, or the Union Express Company, or the United States Express Company, and soon, although what we aid very seriously diminished their protits and impaired their business. Everything that the United State* does operates in that way upon the interests of its private citizens—everything except the appropriation for money directly. We cannot build a ship, we cannot build a postoffice, we cannot do anything in the way of furthering the material interests of this country that does not, by just so much, interfere with the operations of the people engaged in that kind of transaction; there is no doubt about that. Therefore l do not wish anybody to take up the idea that when (as I hope I shall he able to do if somebody else does not) at the session of the next Congress 1 propose the initiation of a postal telegraph for the United States that involves in any way dealing with auy existing or to exist telegraph company, but involves the simple proposition of authorizing the Postmaster-general to buy the poles and the wires and the machines and set up his first lines along the great post routes ot the country, North and South and East and West, and .hen, as time goes on and economy will warrant it, the extension of them to every hamlet in the country. Electricity is just as much a part of the forces of nature and of this world for the transmission of intelligence as a locomotive is, or ns the old post-horse was. and it is too lute at this dav to say that because the world lias advanced in the means of disseminating intelligence, the telegraph, under the constitution ot the United States, is not an appropriate means of the postal system just as much as it is ip transmit letters.” STRIKE NOTES. Uriel Mention of LuAne Cb*u*pfl by DelayOther Items of Interest. A subscription was taken up on the Chicago board of trade yesterday for the benefit of the striking telegraph operators and SBOO secured. The Boston Herald says: “Some of the Gloucester fresh-fish firms bnvo lost thousands of dollars through not being able to communicate witli agents and customers on account of the strike. The number of messages refused in the last twenty-four hours amounts to several hundred.” At the meeting of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, on Wednesday, a prominent broker i>aiu to a prominent railroad man: “Now is a good time to move the appointment of a committee of five to draft resolutions of censure against the telegraph companies.” “I would not Lake SSO und do it, and you daren’t,” said the railroader. “You are right; I dare not,” said the broker; and there the matter dropped. A representative of the firm of Simon A Husemao, of Cincinnati, bankers and brokers. said: “We can’t do a thing. It is impossible to get our answers by telegraph the same day. For instance, we telegraphed yesterday to Boston, expecting an answer the same day. and didn’t get it until to-day at 10 o’clock. No business, it seems, can be transacted at nil. Our business, anyhow, is entirely out of the question. Our sympathies are certainly not with the monopolies of any kind.” In his testimony before a committee of Congress, the late William Orton testified regarding the compensation of operators as follows: “I have ascertained that at eighty of our principal offices, employing nearly 1,200 managers and operators, and whose receipts amount to 40 per cent, of the gross revenue of the company, the average salary paid for the month of December 1873. was £10.50. Excluding female operators and males who served as assistants rather than regular operators the average would be about $00.” • This is the testimony of F. A. Armstrong, a Cincinnati broker: “It has knocked business higher than a kite. Trading has been stopped. A man won't send an order unless he can have it filled. This applies to stocks or anything else. Reports are coming in all right, but a little late. The trouble is that we can’t get any news from the small towns. We have many customers from small Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana towns whom we are cutoff from by this business. The general effect is a want of confidence. There is :t great deal of complaint on ’Change.” THE DEMANDS OF BUSINESS. flow the Telegraph Strike I* Felt by the Country-'' he Cry for Arbitration. MR. GOULD WILL NOT ARBITRATE. Brooklyn Union. Arbitration In such a strike as the one now in progress would demand at the outset a concession by the companies of the right of their employes and of the public to >e considered in the distribution of their profits, and that would be fatal to the stock-watering principle which Mr. Gould and his like regard ns the first requisite of corporate growth. The system which has averted strikes in the great iron industries of England presupposes a fair valuation of the capital invented in plant and machinery as the basis of the calculation bv which the rate of wages is to be determined. When the railroad and telegraph companies are willing to accept that as the starting point of an investigation into their ability to pay the wages asked from them there will be neither use nor apology for strikes. PI T THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS. Louisville Commercial. Strikes are like wars, very expensive modes of set tling difficulties; but, until a fair mode of arbitration, enforced by law and public opinion, is substituted, we must, so long as men are troubled with human nature and society is constituted as it is, have strikes. Let business men who are angry at the strikers because of the trouble they are put to, blame the right parties. The telegraph companies have been making a great deal of money, and are able to pay good wages. They have been given large privileges by the public, and in return have undertaken to perform certain important duties. Are they justified in refusing to perform these duties, simply because it will cost them a little more than they nave been paying, and because they won’t make quite so much money as they have been making? DUTY OF CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE. Raw York Evening Post. It cannot be said that in taking such a htep the Chamber of Commerce would improperly meddle with other people's business. This trouble is, on the contrary, the business of the whole business community, md therefore the business of the Chamber •f Commerce, no less than that of the Western Union and of the telegraph operators. It might even be said that the Chamber should recognize it as its peculiar duty to do all it ’an to protect the business community from incalculable injury in an emergency like this. A FAIR REPRESENTATION. N*w York Graphic. The Western Union declares that the situation at Its office has been grossly misrepresented by the press. The company would probably be better satisfied if Jay Gould >hould be represented as going into convulsions after an attempt to work a quadruple! wire, while Russell Sage stands by and rnshI v declares that any one who does such dirty work ought to receive at least a dollar a day, WHY BUSINESS IS AT THE COMPANY’S MRECY S*vr York lior*ld. Suppose the Western Union had not so rreedlly and persistently “absorbed” its several riyalfl and enormously watered its stock;

suppose to-day the American Union and the Mutual Union and the Atlantio and Pacific companies were all independently serving the public instead of having been swallowed with a great deal of water by the Western Union speculators? In that case the public would not suffer inconvenience and loss by the refusal of the Western Union managers to give a respectful hearing to the grievances of their work-people. It is because the telegraph lias been made the tool of a few unscrupulous speculators, who have piled up great fortunes by making it a monopoly, that the public now suffers. WHAT ARBITRATION SHOULD BE. Lafayette Journal. The countrv will, ere long, demand some remedy for tlie evil of strikes and of the arbitrary course of corporations. The public will not submit much longer to the derangement ot business arising from strikes. So far no remedy has been proposed except arbitration. Should this be adopted, the decision of the arbitrators must be of a judicial character aud be made binding, and each side of the controversy must be fairly represented. Otherwise the remedy will be no remedy at all. DELAY NO BENEFIT TO STRIKES. Chicago Time*. Every day’s delay increases the difficulty of an adjustment of differences, and the probability is great that while the strikers are amusing themselves with canards about a demand for their services at the terras and prices namedbv the Brotherhood, the company will have made arrangements that will bar them out forever. These things are said with no unkindly feeling to the telecraph fraternity, but arc a bare statement of what all impartial and thinking men see will soon be accomplished facts. Might atomck to negotiate. New York Ileraid. We can only re)>eat the expression of the convictiou, which we know to be that of the great body of the business community, that the companies ought immediately to enter on negotiations of a practical character to relieve the public of the vast and unnecessary loss which it is now suffering. THE GOULD ORGANS NOT WISE. VliiMnnM Hon. It seems to us that the organs of Mr. Jay Gould are not wise in compelling people to contrast the behavior of the Brotherhood of Telegraph Operators with that of tlie great organizations which he controls.

Regimental and association meetings were held in the forenoon, and in the afternoon the Grand Army parade took place. There were 3,000 men in line and ten posts represented. During the day speeches were made in the formal receptions by many distinguished gentlemen. Among the visitors are Mrs. Davis, of Perry county, and Mrs. McClain, of Cincinnati, widows of soldiers of the revolution, being the only two now in Ohio. They are receivings great deal of attention. There will be a general parade to-morrow.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 18S3.

METHODS OF THE MORMONS. A. Talk with an Ex-Elder of the Lat-ter-Day Saints. The Religious Belief of the Mormons—The luiqultles of Brigham Young—Personal Reminiscences. Interview with W. J.CoggHwell in Cleveland UerulJ. Mr. Coggswell, for some reason or other, was induced, about thirteen years ago, to forsake his profession [the stage], and, in company with his sister and brother-in-law, joined the Mormon church at Salt Lake City. lie remained a member up to 1874, when, seeing the iniquities practiced by its most honored members and its very head, Brigham Young, he used every means in his power to escape, which he succeeded in doing four years after he became a member. “I really don’t know to this day,” said Mr. Coggswell to a reporter, “what induced me to join that cut-throat gang. At first I Felt satisfied; but when I was elected as elder o i one of the wards in Salt Lake City, and was admitted into the secret council, I began to see the iniquities practiced there and shuddered at the thought of lending my aid, of being cognizant of the terribly outrageous deeds practiced there, and powerless to prevent them.” “How do you account for the large number of converts to tlie Mormon faith?” asked the reporter. “They are continually sending missionaries to every portion of tlie habitable globe. I might say right here that I have seen Mormons recruited from the people of England, Scotland and Wales, but l don’t think I ever saw one from Ireland. But to continue: These missionaries preach to them the doctrine of Morraonism, omitting, of course, all references to polygamy. They, of course, visit the down-trodden, low and ignorant European classes who have been enslaved, you might say, all their lives, promise them property, farms, and hold out the inducement of living under theirown fig trees, and all that sort of thing, and these people are so anxious fc lead better lives that they grasp utmost 4iything, and the result is that they emigrate to A.merica, their fare being paid out of what i’s known as the emigration fund of Utah. At Castle Garden, these people are manipulated by a man named Stearns, the agent of the church, who ships them to Utah. Upon arrival iu the land of the Saints, they sell them a few acres of land which originally cost them about $1 per acre for about sls an ucre, and give them a number of years to pay for it. The head of the family goes to work, tills the soil, digs away—he generally has a wife and large family depending upon him for support—but he cun never get ahead or succeed in paying for his land.” “How do you explain that?” “In the first place, one-tenth of everything he owns in the way of property must go to the church and is known at the timing money. The beads of the church have their eyes upon him through the bishops of the diderent district* throughout the State, and the very moment that the heads of the church see that he has succeeded in making a number of payments and is going out of debt, the order conies from Sait Lake City that brother so-and-so must take another wife; should he refuse he will be forever damned. In that manner they crowd him 1 with wives and children, weave the meshes around liiui to such an extent that lie will never leave the churoh, even if he hates it from the bottom of his heart,” “Should they become tired of it, are they allowed to leave the Territory?” “Not by any means. Only six years ago It was worth as much as your life to escape from their clutches, especially if a man had been behind the curtain; that ia, in secret session with the elders.” “In what does the Mormon religion differ from that of ordinary Christian?” “They believe in the Bible all the way through, from beginning to end, and further afiirni that Joseph Smith was a prophet, who appeared in the world for the purpose of populating it in its last days with saints or God's chosen people, to prepare It for the second coming of Christ. When he was killed Brigham Young took his place. Since the death of Young, John Taylor has occupied the position at the head of the chnrch, nut he has not been pronounced yet. The Mormons in Utah believe that iu course of time they will govern the world. They will first occupy all of the United States ana dispense law, counsel and religion from the throne at Salt Lake. They are instilled with an undying hatred to the government of the United States. They are educated in living just inside the laws; they don’t recognize the government in their hearts or actions, but being in the territory of the United States they are obliged to behave so that the law cannot touch them. This rancorous, bitter feeling is intensified and transmitted from generation to generation. They are as busy as bees, while the United States is actually sleeping over this important question. The Indians are all with the Mormons. While I was there I assisted in baptizing 300 Piute Indians, and I can say, without fear of contradiction, that the Mormon church, in case of necessity, can command an army of 100,000 armed aud drilled men at almost a moment’s notice. When Brigham Young was confined in jail, for only four lours, such a howl was raised thnttho United States government was compelled to liberate him on short notice. Had they kept him over night, the torches were ail distributed and ready to convert Salt Lake City into an uskpile, and I know that the massacre of between 6,000 aud 10,000 Gentiles would have followed the conflagration. If the government at this dav should send an army fully equipped they could not enter the city with any force they might bring against it.” “How are the religious services in the Tabernacle conducted?” “The head of the church announces that brother so-and-so will preach to-day, and the preaching generally consists of a mixture of domestic, religious and political matter, and to an outsider sounds very much like a business session.” “Have women any rights there?” “Women have nothing to say, nor the men either, for that matter. When the head of the church opens his mouth they must obey, lie holds them in submission, under the fear of God’s wrath; all, mind you, under the cloak of religion. The president and his three counselors ar e at the head of everything; below them is the council of seven, then comes the council of seventy, then the council of ninety, composed of the elders who are distributed in the different wards and districts. If the president and his three counselors promulgate an idea, the remaining counselors will invariably agree with them; but that sort of thing looks more honest to the common crowd, and it is done for tho purpose of closing their eyes to the real state of affairs. One peculiar thing I noticed atuoug the Mormons—that is, that one person can be baptized for his entire family, the person baptized believing that it will lift tlie people he is being baptised for one step higher into the kingdom of Owl. The ceremony is very simple, and requires nothing but a simple ducking in cold water.” • What disgusted you first with the Mormon Church?” “1 was disgusted with it shortly after I entered it, but what capped the climax was when tho Bishop of Ogden fell lit love with

my married sister, and with a stroke of the pen undid the civil marriage recognized by the authorities of the United States. He de- # dared my sister divorced and married her as* his fifth wife. My brother-in-law was obliged to succumb—the Bishop said so, God’s representative on earth, you know. He remained in Salt Lake for awhile, but the separation from his wife killed him, for he died soon afterward. Shortly after his death I began to air my views in public, and they suspected that I would make an attempt to escape, so Brigham Young’s son Joseph called upon me and asked me whether I whs discontented with my lot. I told him that the affair concerning my sister made me tired of their religion, and he left dissatisfied. Next came a visiting committee of six. They had a long talk with me. and said that as an officer of the church I expressed myself too freely, and from their warning I gathered that if I wanted to leave them I must do so as soon as possible. Next day a wagon drove up to my gate. I jumped aboard, reached a railway station outside the city : limits, boarded the train and left for San i Francisco. I received a great many letters | of warning while there to desist from giv- I ing vent to my opinion in public. I met a Mormon at Sacramento who gave me to understand that if I valued ray life l should leave that part of the conn tv j at once.” “Did Danitc3 ever make any attempt upon 1 your life?” “In Chicago, I was followed after midnight by two men into a dark street. I had been talking pretty loud that day about Mormoniam. and something peculiar in their manner and walk warned me that they were after uiv life. I whispered my suspicions to my friend; we at once drew our revolvers, turned and faced them, compelling the Danites to beat a hasty retreat. At a Louisville hotel one evening I had a conversation with a man who, as I afterward learned, was a Mormon elder. He looked at me In a peculiar sort of wav, and just at that moment I discovered that his face was familiar to me, but could not place him. He called me out doors, and the moment we stepped onto the sidewalk he turned as quick as a Hash and made nil attempt upon my life. I freed myself and escaped into the saloon.” “Are the Danites still in existence?” “The name of Danites is extinct, and they are now known as the Nuuyoj Legion, whicli is really the nucleus of the Mormon army. Tiiey drill almost daily iu the Tabernacle, and are a splendid lot of soldiers.” “How are these Mormon murders committed?” “When the head of the church pronounces the deatli sentence of a man he is called to the door of his house and shot down, or if he makes an attempt to leave the city he is killed on the roadway. This is called the blood of atonement; it is part of the Mormon belief, and a few years ago it was practiced quite extensively.” “How do the Kirtiand Mormons differ from those of Utah?” “The Kirtiand Mormons do not recognize those of Utah. They believe in the prophet, in the promulgation of Joe Smith, but respect tlie laws of the United State*. They claim to be the original branch of Nauvoo, and abhor polygamy, which was introduced by the Salt Lake branch. I respect the Kirtiand people because they disown the thieves and murderers of Utah. All their iniquities in Utah are kept under cover. When strangers flret go there they are only shown the bright side of everything, and are generally there a number of years before they are well acquainted with all tho ins and outs of Mormonisni. There has not been a law enacted as yet sufficiently stringent to keep these people in check. The government does not know that they are growing more powerful every day, and sooner than surrender, they will destroy the cities, pillage and murder ail the gentiles within their reach.” A Blow at Medical Societies. ‘Chicago Tribune. Professor Rudolph Virchow, the mo9t eminent physician and surgeon in Germany, if not in the world, lies published a card withdrawing from the Society of German Physicians. The cause for this action he states to be that during his illness last winter he received a box of pills from an apothecary in Sohaffhausen which he took with good’ es feet. He subsequently wrote a note to the apothecary, thanking him for his courtesy, which the latter printed without his knowledge. Although the note contained nothing that could be construed as an advertisement for the pills, the physicians set up a terrible hue and cry, und bis name was placarded by the officious organ of the society referred to above. Inasmuch as the pills contained no secret remedy or patent medicine, and as he was not responsible for the publication of the note, he frankly declares “that he can no longer belong to a society that arrogates to itself the right of so arbitrary and offensive criticism,” and he adds, in closing his letter: “It is to be hoped that a similar spirit of petty obtrusiveness, such as is shown in this instance, does not now and never will prevail among the medical faculty.” Dr. Virchow has dealt a hard blow at the pretensions of medical guilds,* which is applicable in places nearer home than Germany. Drowning of Miss Cramp. Philadelphia, July 26.—A reception was given to-night on board the new ship Alameda of the Oceanic . Steamship Company of San Francisco, just completed at Cramp’s ship-yard. Among those who favored the company with selections on the piano was Miss Maggie Cramp, of the well-know firm of ship-builders. On leaving the ship and descending the gapg-plank to the lighter alongside, Miss Cramp made a misstep, falling into the river and was drowned. Her body has not been recovered up to 1 o’clock. The sad accident brought the reception to an abrupt close. Commander-In-Chief Robert B. Berth. Denver. July 26.—At the election this evening Robert B. Berth, of Philadelphia, was elected commander-iu-chief of the Graud Army of the Republic, on the second ballot. Many of the Grand Army attribute General Barnum’s defeat to his expressed opinion of the Fitz John Porter case. The election of other officers will be held to-morrow. All Signs of Republican Victory. Madison Star. There will be no room for a Democratic victory at the next presidential election. The crops are good; the people are prosperous; want is almost unknown. There will be no croaking, ami therefore no disaffection in Republican ranks. May Be llin Own Successor. .Madison Star. Arthur may be his own successor if he choose. He has been fair in his administration, judicious in his cabinet appointments, modest in his demeanor. The following recipe is said to eradicate the woody smell often observed in refrigerators: Scour the interior with a preparation made of one-fourth pound of lime, one-haif pound of washing soda and ono quart of boiling water; mix all this well together and leave until cold; then pour off some of the water and scrub with the sediment instead of with soap. Sage lea, or any other beverage made of herbs, should be made in an earthen vessel, and never in tin. as it will turn black unless immediately emptied out, an l it muy do so even then. “FOR thirteen year* I had dyspepsia," wrote John Albright, of Columbus, O. “Samaritan Nei vino cured iue.” Diuggisis all keep it. $1.50.

I AQUATIC, TURF AND FIELD. * Hanlan, Hosmer and Lee Have a Close Race at Syracuse. Pittsburg; and Boston Present Some Good Trotting Races—The Paris, 111., Races Opened—Base Ball. A Fine Race Between Hanlan, Hosmer and Lee, at Syracuse. Syracuse, July 26.—Tho Hanlan-Hosmer-Lee race at Fulton this afternoon was witnessed by nearly 5,000 people. Tlie course was three-quarters of a mile, rowed over twice. There was very little betting, it being conceded that Hanlan was a sure winner. There were a few even bets on the result between Hosmer and Lee. The start was made at fifty-six seconds past 5 o’clock. All took the water together, Ilanlan ,ee pulling thirty-four and Hosmer .*c y-six strokes. The boats kept even in the half mile, and Hanlan then drew ahead, with Hosmer a trifle the best of Lee. Hanlan turned the stake in six minutes, Hosmer ten seconds later, and Lee five seconds behind. Back to the start Hanlan drew well to the front of Hosmer and Lee, between whom there was a fine struggle. A quarter of a mile from the start Hanlan slowed up. and the others gained on him. Hanlan turned the starting point four lengths ahead in nine minutes and thirty-four seconds; Hosmer and turned together. Hanlan soon stopped rowing and took a drink of water front his hand. Again starting Ilanlan was two lengths the best of Hosmer and Lee. The three kept their positions to the quarter, when Hanlan crossed to Lee’s water and rowed to the turning stake. Lee and Hoarner kept up a fine struggle all the way up. Hanlan turned the stake in fourteen minutes and fifty seconds. Lee ten seconds behind him. Hanlan spurted after all three had turned, and gaining a good head settled to twenty-eight strokes per minute. Hosmer. shortly after turning, spurted and was soon alongside of Lee, and both pulled a fine race all the wav back, and about a quarter of a mile from the finish both drew un to Hanlau, and the three rowed side by side, for a short distance, when Haitian, by a few strong strokes, opened a lead of several lengths from Hosmer, who was still a length ahead of Lee. When a few rods from the finish, Hanlan quickened his stroke and crossed the score the winner. Hosmer half a length ahead of Lee. The time of Hanlan was 19 rain 49 sec.. Hosmer 19rain. 50 sec., Lee 19 min 51 sec. Henlv, of Oswego, pulled outside, and was a bad fourth. The time is regarded as showing that the course was not a full three miles. Hanlan, Ilosiuer and Lee have started for tho St. Paul regatta. Opening Day of the Pari* Association. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
