A MYSTERY.
What Will the Opening of a Door Reveal! Ia was currently reported about halfpast twelve or one o'clock to-day, that somebody had been seen at a window of the residence of W. D. Griswold, and it being well-known that the family were absent, quite a crowd gathered about the yard fence, and some of the police putting in aft appearance headed by Deputy Marshal O'Mara, they entered the house, the servant in charge appearing meanwhile and admitting them, though he was under the influence of beer evidently, and he admitted having indulged in that beverage. The servant in question alter expressing his indignation at the report and intrusion, asserting that it was all a proposition of the boys that the report was started, opened, all the doors of the house, but three which he asserted he could not open because he did not have the keys, one of the room9 he could not open the door of, is supposed to be the one where the person or persons were seen.
We came away about two o'clock and left the officers endeavoring to see the inside of that particular room, with what success we have not learned up to the hour of going to press. It may be all a hoax, but the officers are determined to solve the mystery and learn what there is of truth in the report.
What the opening of the door will reveal, is the question that agitates the bluecoats and all who have heard of the strange and mysterious affair.
OUT OF JAIL—LOOK OUT FOR BLOODCURDLES.—It will be remembered by many of the readers of the GAZETTE that at several different times we have taken occasion to denounce one William H. Gray, of "Family Favorite Burning Fluid" notoriety, in very severe terms, as having swindled an old citizen ot the place out of his earnings of a life time. Later we referred to him as being in jail in Washington, D. C., on a charge of perjury, for swearing to an invention as his own, which was claimed as having been invented by a jeweler formerly with 8. B. Freeman of this city, named Gardner, who still owned it. It now turns out, according to the Washington Chronicle, copies of which, Gray, or some one else, Bus flooded ttrlsUity "With, that Gardner, the complainant, had written defendent, Gray, a letter or letters, in which he referred to the patent lamp burner as his (Gray's), and advising him what" to So with it. Upon that evidence Gray was released from jail on a writ of habeas corpus, which was heard before a Washington Judge.
Gray beiiig now at liberty, and being a desperate character, as some have alleged, and swearing to kill some Terre Haute man, or men, as we learn, our citizens may prepare to read of a "bloodcurdling" sensation at any time. We presume he will commence on us, in which case we hope he will accommodate the readers of the GAZETTE by itemizing us in the forenoon, in order that we may furnish them with the, tragedy in advance of the readers of the morning papers—that is, if he does not kill us outright, in wb ioh oaee the senior, ^editor, or business manager, can write it up.
THE evening paperhighly com pa ends a policemait' for kicking a'man after-he is down,I—Journal. ...
We complimented a policeman for kicking a knife from the hand of It man who evidently intended using the weapon on a comrade who. was arresting him. Had Stewart kicked the whole crowd of "negro grocery roosters" into and across the Wabash, he would have received our thanks not 6nly but those of all citizens who love common decency. We learn that tfiere are number -of dead beat loafers who continually hang about the saloon in question waiting for some wood hauler to dome in from the country, make a sale, and then treat them to the whisky* *If a policeman is not justified in kicking such a dead beat as that when he^attempts to arrest him for fighting and disorderly conduct, and when he resists, we must confess that we don't know anything about the priviliges of a policeman. Their instructions are to use necessary force in making arrests, anfrTt -wasr Tprovwr
ttvthe
entire
satisfaction of the oouci, inthe case against Stewart, that he did not use unnecessary force, therefore we insist that the party, was "righteously kickejh" we stated before.

LETTER FROM UTAH.
Salt Lake City—Its Location, Streets, Business, and Private and Public Buildings—The Tabernacle and its Great Organ—Brigham Young's Harems—Arri val of Terre Hauteans, &c.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, August 23,1871.
Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: As a continuation of my last letter, I now propose giving you a description of this country and city: Salt Lake City was laid out in the year 1846, shortly after the Mormons took their then "new departure" or "great Mormon exodus" from Nauvoo. They crossed the barren plains and Rocky Mountains, and descended into this basin, to plant their new home in a scene of the most picturesque and unusual beauty. The city lies equidistant from Utah Lake and Salt Lake, stretching along the right bank of the Jordan, which forms its western border for about two miles, situated on one of the lower, but not lowest terraces of the mountain range, it has a double slope, from north to south, which is the direction of its- water supplies, and from east to west, which is the course of its drainage into the river. The area of the city is 3,000 acres, it is laid out like your city, on a rectangular plan, the streets intersecting each other at right angles, and all starting from Temple block, which is to be the "Holy Place of Mormonism." The streets diverging from this, on either side, are 100 feet wide all the streets in the city are planted with locust, ailantus and box alder, streams of freshwater coursing through ditches from the mountain side to refresh them. Each square includes 10 acres originally each block was divided into lots of 1J acres, but now it is changed in that respect to accommodate the population of 12,000 people.
The houses are nearly all built upon the same model, and it not one of any architectural merit or beauty, more like barns, generally facing, but sometimes turned side ways towards the street. There are some few exceptions among the "Gentile" habitations and those of the Bishops and more.wealthy Mormons. The material used is a sun-dried brick, called adobe and "dobys." The business houses .are built of frame mostly. There are some fine store rooms built of a red ferruginous sand-stone, but the beauty of the city lies in the garden plats. Attached to all the houses, whether of the rich or poor, are gardens ,carefully cultivated and kept with neatness, many of them richly planted with various kinds of fruit trees, and most of them blooming with a profusion of flowers, walls and palings frequently adorned 'with spreading vines, and in snug corners may be seen growing goodly supplies of vegetables. The streets are named in reference to their situation to Temple block. Thus, the main is, strictly speaking, First East Temple street, in its rear Second East Temple street, and so on. The reverse sides First West Temple street, First South Temple street, First North Temple street, and so on in the different directions to east, west, south and north, sometimes to Twentieth Temple street. It comes awkward for a stranger to get the run of the thing at first, but like a great many other Mormon "peculiarities" you become accustomed to them and give them no further notice.
The main street is devoted to business for some three blocks on either side, and also some of the side streets leading from it now show evidences of trade. Since the advent of the hardy miners and speculative Gentiles, a change has come over their manner of doing business. -The currency of "Uncle Sam" is now the circulating medium, where before they bartered "truck" of all kinds, even paying their entrance to places of amusement in vegetables, grain, &c. The "Gentile" houses and the "Apostle" Mormons take the lead in large stocks and sales, although there are some extensive Mormon stores doing business under the co-partnership plan. Their trade, however, is principally with the "bretnern." A striking features of the Mormon places, are immense signs on the front of their stores (so ordered by Brigham) "Holiness to the Lord," "Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution," an all-seeing eye occupying the center of a semi-circle. To strangers, at first, the latter conveys the idea that there is a surplus of eye doctors here. These signs were intended in times gone by as a designating mark, so the "brethern" could make no mistake in dealing where they were commanded. In this way they hoped to "freeze" out the few Gentiles and Apostates then doing business here, and I suppose thir plan would have succeeded but for the discovery of the silver mines. The "Bull'sEyes" (so termed) are now becoming unpopular and fast disappearing, as they have a tendency to drive Gentile trade away, and the brethren having "stamps" can go where they please to trade. In the language of "Sam," "things is workin'."
Among the principal public buildings is "the Tabernacle." It is, to a certain extent, a temporary structure, which is to be replaced by the "Great Temple," (that is to be.) It consists of a red stone building 250 feet in length, and 150 feet in width, and 90.feet higi. Its interior is covered by an elliptical ceiling 60 feet from the floor the roof is of shingles and domed. The speaker stands in the west end of the building, which is reserved for the high dignitaries—the first Presidency, the twelve Apostles, and the President of the State of Zion. In the background stands the "organ," which is a master-piece of workmanship, (the handiwork of a Mormon.) It is a beautiful sounding instrument, and in size is 47 feet high, 33 feet wide and has 2,000 pipes, only second, if not equal, to the great Boston organ. The floor rises from the front to the rear, giving every one a chance to see. The seats are open through from north to south, and a tier of circuit gallery seats are above. The females occupy the center rows of seats, and ttfe males flank them on the right and left. The seating capacity of the building is 10,000, the interior size being 132 by 232, and is so constructed that it can be emptied in three minutes. The entrances encircle the entire building, it resembles an immense dome set on pillars. Their services consist of preaching and singing, they having a good choir. In addition they break bread and pass it throughout the congregation in platei trays, together with water, from tin pails, in brittania cups, each person partaking of the bread very many drinking from the same cupfull of water until empty, when it is replenished to go through the same form, until all are supplied with their little "bread and drink." (I took my bread dry.)
The other public buildings, as City Hall, Court Mouse, theater and Ward Assembly Rooms, are mostly of stone, having some pretention for architectural beauty. They area credit to a city situated in the wilderness, like this one. Distinguished by their size, and a high wall inclosing them on all sides, are the "harems" of the "Prophet," three in number, and called by their names, as

TERRE HAUTE, IND.. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 30, 1871
designated by distinguished marks—the "Lion House" from having a full sized lion crouching upon the top of the portico, the "Bee House" from having a bee-hivestuck upon the front, the "Eagle House" has a huge eagle carved out of wood, perched upon the gateway, with wings spread and neck stretched, as if he scented the hated Gentile afar off. Brigham is "muchly" married, therefore the need of so many mansions. He also has, I understand, a few of the most favored planted around the city in cottages. Of the Endowment House, Tithing Office, and the "Temple," which is in course of construction, I will write you again when I have more time.
Among the late arrivals from the East, I was pleased to see and meet your townsmen, J. D. Herkimer, J. C. McGregor and James McGregor, who are here sight-seeing, and perhaps trying to get away with a silver mine or two. I hope they may, and strike it rich. Until I come again, adieu. R. A. T.

PARIS, August 29.—Excitement in political circles appears to increase rather than diminish, and the greatest confusion exists among all parties in the Assembly. The members of the party of the Left have pledged their support to M. Thiers, and it is probable that they will favor the adoption of the report of the committee on prolongation of the executive powers, when it comes up for debate on Wednesday.
A meeting of Deputies to the number of 250 was held at Versailles to-day, for the purpose of discussing the political situation, and if possible, agreeing upon a plan of action and proposal to confer the Presidency upon M. Thiers under conditions similar to these of the Constitution of 1848. This proposition was received with evident disfavor, and without agreeing on any resolution the meeting adjourned. The meeting was characterized by much discussion, and want of harmony was noticeable among those present. From the chaotic state of the different parties, it is apparant that the final vote upon the report of the committee will have an important bearing upon the question of the future good of France.
PARIS, August 20.—M. Thiers declines to accede to the report submitfed by the Committee on Prolongation of Executive Powers, in the Assembly yesterday, on the ground that it confers a dictatorship on the majority of the Assembly, placing the true seat of the executive power in the Assembly, instead of the Ministry and President. The present crisis in the Assembly continues to engross public attention. The debate on the report of the committee, which has been ordered for Wednesday next, is looked forward to with much anxiety, as it is expected thaf. it will be productive of important results.
A communication has been issued by Count De Chambord, addressed to the Deputies in the Assembly, recommending them to give their earnest support to Thiers in the present controversy regarding the Presidency.
LONDON, August 29.—He* Majesty Queen Victoria is again indisposed, suffering from a severe affection of the throat accompanied by a violent headache. The physicians to Her Majesty are bestowing every attention on their royal patient.
NEW YORK, August 30.—Thefollowing is a Herald's special cable correspondence: ROME, August 29.—Violent demonstrations took place in the streets of Rome Sunday, 27th inst. A drunken crowd led by one Tognette, a brother of the man who was beheaded for murder by the late Papal Government, marched toward the Vatican. The crowd made a furious uproar, shouting against the priests, who fled in terror in all directions, and uttering threats against the inmates of the Vatican. Tognette harangued the rioters, inciting them to deeds of violence. All were flourishing daggers and pistols and yelling.
The authorities were alarmed at the threats of the mob, and the police being unable to suppress the riot, the Mayor called upon the military commanders of Rome for aid. The soldiers arrived very soon afterward, and charged the mob, which resisted at first, but finally fled in confusion. Many of the rioters fired and then ran at the soldiers, who repelled them by shots, killing one and wounding several of the mob. The city is greatly excited over the occurrence.
VIENNA, August 30.—The Free Press, official organ, states that at the recent Imperial Conference at Gaskien a treaty of peace was agreed upon between the Austrian, German and Italian Governments by which these powers bound and ailied themselves against any power or powers henceforth disturbing the peace and tranquility of Europe. The privilege has been extended to Russia -to join the alliance. The Russian will do so.at an early date.

PARIS, August 30.—A rumor is current here that the Due de Aumal has refused to become a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, and has followed the example of the Count De Chamborg in strongly recommending his adherents to support the candidature of Thiers.
ROME, August 30.—It is stated on au thority that King Victor Emmanuel will probably appoint Count Sulopio as arbitrator for settlement of the Alabama claims.
NEW YORK, August 30.—During yesterday, hundreds of persons called at the Morgue to identify, if possible, the remains of an unfortunate woman, which was found in a trunk at the Hudson River depot. It was claimed last night that the woman had been recognized by several acquaintances from Bayard street, as Miss Lena Rosenswig, a native of Poland, aged 19, and a niece of Dr. Rosenswig. They stated that she lived at No. 98 Bayard street with some relations.
The Doctor had not seen his niece orf upwards of seven years' till she came to this country about a year since, when she removed to his residence in Amity street, where it is said, he effected her ruin. The Doctor then took up his residence in Twenty-second avenue, and from that house it is supposed the corpse Was taken to the railroad depot. The pretext he made for removing her to his residence was that the air of Baxter street was not good for her.
Yesterday morning Captain Kennedy received information which led him to watch premises No. 450 Pearl street, and during the day arrested Mrs. Hannah Goldwaser, the half sister of the doctor, who was supposed to be the woman who had conveyed the remaihs to the depot. She was confronted with the boy and carman Ricett, but'they failed to recognize her, and she was subsequently discharged. It is believed that the woman who had the remains conveyed to the depot is still in the city.
It is expected that the Grand Jury will, to-day, present to the Court of General Sessions indictments against Messrs. ^Vanderbilt, Braisted and Robinson, well known in connection with the Westfield disaster.

LOUISVILLE, K&fiA August 30.—The fourth story of the grain and produce house of Whitly, Brown & Co., Main street, broke doWh at half-past 10 o'clock under the weight of a large quantity of wheat stored in bulk.
The break in the floor is about forty feet, commencing about that distance from the front, and fell through with a tremendous crash, carrying each floor with it for about the same space, precipitating the whole in one mass of ruins into the cellar, the concussion of the air beneath bursting doors and windows on the first story. The alarm was given, and several engines were promptly on the ground* The Hook & Ladder Company remained on the spot, and assssted by the police, are cleaning away the ruins as rapidly as possible.
Two dead bodies have been taken out up to this time, one white and one black, employees of the house. Two more are yet buried beneath the debris, but it is not known with certainty how many persons were in the building at the time.
