At penal JilnxUch to The Tribune.
Memphis, Tcnn., Oct. 21.—Your correspond
ent finds little to write about to-day. The
fact that tho Belief Committee have resolved
not to issue rations after tho 23th has hod the
effect to crowd tho city with ration-floods to
day, and tho clamor and rush for tho last ration
has been enthusiastic. There has also been an
imprudent rush of refugees into the city, which
tho doctors predict will result In a fresh out
break of tho disease. Undertakers report nine
teen interments, nine of which were in the city.
Toe following is the list of whites; MaryE.

WHERE THEY ARE AT PRESENT AND HOW THEY
ARB EMPLOYED— MB. TILDBN'S CONFIDENCE
RETAINED BY THEM.
yna York Tribunt.
It has been reported that Mr. Tlldeo employs
certain aliases. One paper, for Instance, speak
ing of George W. Smith, alias Mr. TUdcn, an
other of “George W. Smith nee Tlldeo.*' These
are errors which It Is Important should uot be
too extensively circulated. Mr. TUdon never
signs any document with any other than his own
name, and Is too smart not to have people to
sign compromising documents when It becomes
necessary to transmit them by cipher dispatches.
The George W. Smith to whom the dispatches
of Thomas Harland, from Michigan, were ad
dressed, Is a gentleman who has been In Mr.
TUdcn 1 # employ as a confidential clerk for
many years. There are few abler men In sim
ilar positions In this city, and It Is well known
that for at least* ton years Mr. Smith has bad
the absolute confidence of Mr. Tlldeo. He Is a
gentleman of the discretion which would nat
urally bo acquired from long association with
Mr. Tlldeo in a confidential capacity, and only
grave necessity would Induce him to sign or
receive such-dispatches as appear over and un
der Ins name ta the Marquette business and the
Florida political Intrigues. Mr. Smith is sifll
lu Mr. Ttlden's employ, and bos vbarge at the
present moment of tils law olllce at No. 13
Wall street.
Col. William T. Pelton Is a son of Mr. Til
den's sister, and resides at No. 16 Gramercy
Park, Mr. TUdcn 1 * home. He has two ulllces
named lo the Directory, onu of which is also
Mr. Tlldeo 1 !, at No. 12 Wall street, and the
other of which is at No. 7 Broadway, toe odlce
of tnu New York Elevated Hallway, of which
Mr. Pelton was until lately a Vice-President.
Ho entered the Directory of the Company, as
understood at the time, to look after Mr. Til
den’s largo Interests in that concern. It was
stated and understood when be resigned as
Vice-President of the Elevated Hallway that
Col. Pelton would organize a new bureau and
resume tbo “still-bunt 1 ' of hla uncle for tne
Presidency. Ho rctaioa the confidence and
aharca the home of Mr. Tlldeo.
The “coparcener ll of Mr. Tllden who was loft
lo the Elevated Kail road office to look after his
intercali on Uoi. Pelton 1 ! retirement was Mortis
K. King. He la so employed there still. Some
of the Florida and South Carolina dispatches
were addressed to this gentleman, and It was
well understood during the campaign of 1870
that to Mr. King was Intrusted the delicate and
confidential duty ol dedobertug and transmit
ting the telegraphic correspondence of Mr. Til
den, Including, it appears, that in richer now
brought to light. Mr. King and Col. Pelton are
the only members of the “Bureau of Nincom
poops'l (as the “still hunters'' of Mr. Tllden .
came to be facetiously called) who figure promi
nently lo the cipher dispatches. Col. John F.
Tracy and W. 8. Andrews were other associates
who still cling to the fortunes ut their fallen
chieftain.
The chief “coparcener" In Florida, Manioc
Marble, courts privacy at bis bouse at No. &£3
Fifth avenue. Occasionally he visits the Man
battau Club. For a week or more his viiits to
that resort of good Democrats have been infre
quent. It (s supposed that bu is engaged in
preparing another attack upou “fraud In high
places" which may prove also an explanation
and defense of bis cipher telegrams. Mr. Mar
ble apparently retains the confidence of Mr.
Tllden; at any rate, the latter has not denied
knowledge of the turmer’s action in Florida.
the chief “coparcener" in Bouth Carolina,
the Hon. Smith M. Weed, was In the citv list
week, but has not been neard from relative to
hla course In tbe South. He has lately been
conspicuous os the leader of Mr. Tlldeu's friends
In the Syracuse Convention and in tbe meeting

NEW DEPARTURE.
A DEMOCRATIC AED MORMON PLOT TO CAITORB

MOKMONISM AND I*OLYaAMT IN VARIOUS WKST
BKN TBKKITOKIBA.
ftpictai c'omipoadmcs o] n« Tritons,
Salt Lake, Utah. Oct. 14.—Recently there
boa come to light a scheme of the Mormon
priesthood and some of the Democratic leaders
In Congress to colonize New Mexico and Arizona
with Mormons, and admit them with Utah and
Idaho Into the Union os Democratic States.
Lance numbers of Mormons have been quietly
ordered by their leaders to emigrate to Arizona
and New Mexico this (all and winter. Many of
them have already gone from Utah, and all the
new converts to Mormoolsm made In the
Southern Slates, where there are sev
eral hundred* Latter-Day-Salut missiona
ries engaged la proselyting, are
emigrated to oue or other of these Territories.
The plan, as reported to your correspondent
from reliable sources high up la the Mormon
Church, show* that J. Proctor Knott, of Ken
tucky, Pen Franklin, of Missouri, and 'several
other leaders, manipulators, and schemers of
the Democratic party « ,
MATURED TUB tCUBMN
lu connection with George Q. Cannon, the Mor
mon Delegate to Congress from Utah, and Dele
gate Feua, of Idaho. My Mormon Informant
here says J. K. Luttrell, Democratic Member of
Congress from California, wbo was consulted
In tbe matter by Knott, opposed the scheme,
because it would clothe tbe Mormon hierarchy
with too much power, aud decisive action was
then delayed In autlclpatiou of an In
crease ol v Democratic members lu tbe
House, who would not oppose It, and
tbe possible chance - of the Senate
also being Democratic. Tbe llou. Ben Frank
lin, Chairman of tbe House Committee on
Territories, in one of bu conversations with
George Cannon on Ibis subject, so Cannon
reports here, told him that the Government's
Territorial system la all wrong. No true Dem
ent, be said, bellavea In a Territorial vassalage,
which la utterly foreign to the genius and spirit
of our Constitution, and. Just as soon as we can
get matters our own way In tbe Senate, It la
our Intention to cut up Utah, New Mexico,
Arizona, aod Wyoming Into about six smaller
Territories, and then admit each of them Into
tbe Union,
WITH TWO DEMOCRATIC BBNATORB.
"Why. Mr. Caanon,” said he, "there fa no
reason why Idaho should not have two Senators
and an equal representation In Congress whllh
Rhode Island. That Territory certainly has
magnificent natural resources, and, with a large
population of vour people, is as capable of sus
taining a State Government as Utah or any
other of tbe Territories.
“As to tbecomplalntof polygamy made against
your people, that will adjust ttsell In time; and
aside from that there Is no earthly objection to
you Mormons; you arc nil good Democrats. Your
people, you assure us, are to emigrate to Ari
zona and New Mexico in large numbers, and tho
fiulKUlment of your obligations made with the
Democratic Central Committee, whereby you
agreed to send 5,000 Democratic voters to each
of these Territories for election purposes, will
losure us
A PERMANENT DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY
In the Senate for a number of vesrs, and possi
bly the Government itself."
Delegates Cannon atidKcnn.who had frequent
consultations with the Democratic lenders on
tlui subjtrt last winter, but chldly with Knott
and Franklin, and have since their return been
secretly at work carrying out the programme
laid down lut winter bv tbe Democratic leaders,
are over-sangulno of their success.
Now, auvone familiar with Murmonlsm known
that all the church-loadcrs have to do is to order
a certain number of coilirratits to any part of
the country, and It matters not whether It Is at
all agreeable, they have to so, as well as vote as
directed.
Each Bishop Is ordered to furnish so many,
and he selects the number from his flock, ami
they are on the ruafoh In short order.
Late movements indicate that the Church Is
EXECUTING ITS PROMISES,
and, should the ilouno remain Democratic, ami
thev secure a majority In the Senate, the Terri
tories named will be admitted with Mormon
Senators and UepresenlatiTes, and thus tho
Mormons will hold the balance of power, and
dictate to Congress their owu laws, which tho
Democrats dsru not oppose.
When the bill to prohibit and punish polyga
my fell Into the bands of J. Proctor Knott, tho
Chslrmsn of tho Judiciary Committee, he qui
etly pocketed the document, and when urged
by the Liberal Delegate from Utah to act on
the otll, he tamed It off, saying If th* Morraou
men and women seen proper to prostitute them
selves as polygamists, bo did not see as It con
cerned him.
The facts now show be did not dare to offend
bis Mormon friends and co-schemcrs.
The Mormons of Utah so lamely outnumber
the Gentiles that they could spare 40,(M) voters
to colonize territories desired, and yet retain
control of Utah; so tbe matter of creating ten or
twelve new Democratic Senators, and, as many
Representatives, Is a mere question whether the
mass of tho people of the United States will
send men to Congress that will favor such a
diabolical plot to saddle Mormontsm and polyg
amy on the United Statea fur the sake of party
power.

district by a largo majority, but O'Brien Is

Tbe little clique of educated conservative

Dr&alb, Oct.2l.—From all over the country,
and in fact all over the Fourth District, comes
the report of growing dissatisfaction with
Parson Stoughton, Democratic candidate for
Congress. Life-long Democrats say freely that
the party "put their foot In It” In nominating
such a political back, and boldly assert that
they cannot, and will not, support him. Pro
hibitionists feci that they cannot support a

radical Prohibitionist os Sol Sberwio Is a candi

Stoughton will be left out In the cold in Num
ber to start a new party, and Sherwln will bo
elected nv the usual Republican majority. When
the canvass opened Stoughton advocated tho
Issuing of an unlimited amount of non-redeetn
able currency, and uu this ground attempted to
obtain tne Greenback nomination, expecting
the support of the .Methodist church and the
vote of the Democratic party, lie failed with
tlic Orcctibackers, lie will tall with the Metho
