Washington Hall wus weH flllSTUS evening with a very intelligent and ap preciative assemblage of our people, brought together to hear the lector* pf Mr. Colfax, on bia famous trip "across the continent." The honorable gentle man was briefly Introduced by A. W. Campbell, as the late Speaker of the last Gbngress and as one of the eloquent and conspicuous friends of West Vir ginia In the days of her struggle for admission Into the Union ss a new State. The large audience gave Mr. ColEax a hearty indication of the welcome with which they greeted him, after the sub sidence of which he proceeded with a cursory outline of the lengthy and haz ardous tour which ha had made through the extremes* limits of our Western possessions. A large portion of the lecture consisted of a highly Interesting and racy sketch of his travels, abounding with geograph ical and historical tacts and incidents, and constantly Interspersed with the most vivid and eloquent disoriptiona of the many localities visited during his long Journey. , He spoke of having long cherished a desire to visit the old world, but be final ly concluded that as an American it would be wiser first to see more of his own native land and learn from observa tion something of its vast extent and resources. The termination of the strug gle that preuerved this great country a unit, seemed a tilting opportunity The trip began with a stage ride of 2 000' miles across tbo mountains and plains almost uninterrupted, and ended " with an aggregate of iy,000 miles. In closing his account of tho Mormons, Mr. Colfax spoke of his plain talk t*}"1 Hrlgbam Young on polygamy. That worthy acknowledged that their special church creed prohibited polygamy, and lis only sanction was a direct revelation to Joseph Smith, and a direct command to himself. Mr. Colrax replied that polygamy was the weak point In their faith; that It arralnged civilisation and Christianity against them ; was Illegal, and that it was now time for a oonnusr revelation prohibiting It. Young sur prised him by saying that ho (bsslred such a revelation, hut asked If they would not also bo required to give up ths Mormon Bible. Mr. Colfex replied that the American people believed in civil and religious liberty, and would not interfere with their form of ecclesias tical organisation. Tho ton? of tho conversation Impres sed the party with the belief that the new revolution would soon be a neces Hity, und that Brlgbsm Young felt and knew it;"but the street and newspaper comment on this conversation was bit terly and deUantly against any abandon ment of tho plurality system. Whether Mormon wives .were happy or not, Mr. Colrax could learn only from Oentllo sources: but Isdles of re spectability, who had social Intercourse with Mormon families, found beneath tho lifted veil of religious faith, deep discontent, painful regrets fbr the hap mony of monogamio marriage, and fearlul forebodings lest jealousies or new attachments should rob them of the respect and love due from their hus bands. What was the remedy. Toler ation encouraged polygamy. The church, controlling the Territorial Leg islature, shields it, and the problem ol extirpating it la dlMcult or solution. Obedience to the laws alone will secure its abolition; trenching not on their re ligious faith or church organisation, but on their jlroctico of What civilization and the taws detluo to be u crime, the Mormons must learn that there U a limit to assumed revelations; that the Government cannot tolorate a revela tion to commit murder, arson, bigamy, or treason, in deflanceof Its laws. This clear line of distinction between tolera tion of religious raitli and toleration of crime must be drawn. II is now being drawn by the Mormons themselves, and sccoder* In largo numbers are lea v '"if he'speakor passed over their embr v otlc State Government, and their nrm lugand drilling, ostensibly to light the Indians, as likely to result in revolu tionary deflanoe, If the Government maintained an ample military force on the overland route. He closed this branch of his lecture by saying that the plain and palpable duty of the Govern ment Is to repeal the entire polygamy taw, and tolerate plurality In all terri tory subject to Government authority, or enforce the taw and tolerate It no where. leading United Btates officers In Utah practice polygamy. No man should hold an oOleo under the Govern ment whoaolawabe vlolatea. No polyg amic should be a Government contrac tor. Mining, which Is nnder the Mor mon ban, should beencournged, Tor the mineral wealth of Utah la Immense, and the minora are snti-pplygamlsta. A? the speaker Jocosely said at Salt Lake, that was the first place where he had found tlieaalnta all slnnersand the Jews all Gentiles. , ? Evangelical Churches should be es tablished and austained there. The members of tho Territorial Legislature should be required to take an oath of obedience to the anti-polygamy taw, as a test of their eligibility to act as such. Ths Homestead taw should be open onlv to those who obey all the laws of the Republic. These earnest measures takeu and the Pacific Railroad built, carrying a tide of Immigration Into Utah, the speaker believed the whistle of the locomotive would sound the re auiem of polygamy and the pickaxe of le miner dig its grave. Utah with lta Immense advantages would be re deemed, and Salt Lake City become the great dty of tho interior. The route traveled by Mr. Colfax to California lay on the contemplated line of the Pacific Railroad, and' of courao he oould not but reflect on the feasibili ty and utility ol such a road. Always an advocate or the enterprise, he wsa more convinced than ever of its Incal culable necessity As a bond of union strength between the broad ex tra ineaof our vast country:. It Is a na tional neceasltyto have adequate moans of safe and apeedy transit between its different sections. As it Is now, pas sengers and freight are compelled to Journey as far aa from Boston to Liver pool and back across a foreign oouutry; through unhealthy latitudes and at en ormous expense. It Is a political ne cessity in order to preserve linrmony and unity of interest; it ia a military necessity, for if this country ever be coniee engaged In war with England or Franoe, the whole Pacltic Acres would become the prey of the \ enemy. Jt W& ^om^erclal ne?j?iilty, without which the vast extent ana* re sources of the tar West can never be 1 developed and nisde to enrich an<S ?and toe enterprise of tbe uaUOO- * ' The completion of the Pacific Rail- ; road will aid powerfiilly. In tho indus trial subjugation and clvtiitatlon of the whole coutlnent of America. In regard to the practicability < of the route, Mr. Colfax spoke from actual ob servation, and said fbr the first third of the way the grade is substantially made . by nature. In the next, third the dlf floultlea across.. tho mountains4 lire no greater than were surmounted by the Baltimore A Ohio Railroad. While the last third from Salt Lako to the Siearras, a route is practicable by the valley of tho Humboldt. He spoke of the rapid hold of In earnest. The completion of the road seems to be the first and last . first and only hope of visiting their for mer home, and Irion da. It is no doubt a aublect of prayer as well as specula tion. They speak of the Atlantic States as their bo maraud long to revisit them. It was this love of home which so .ef fxjtuslly crashed our lb* dlxloyalty <jf Uta public men who formerly domfnat jSdfnCalirrfmtaJu tavorof a Wclllo' Republic, and whlchntore tattezW pour ed gUch unstinted contributions into the _ . - - - T - :ptTT~ BoldiersM P limb vrmMMm ftM?d?U?.^ "There is one class ormen we most pity.

In the term of Governor Ward, which com mences January 17th, and continues three years, there, are to bo appointed four out of si^ jddfeea'of thecourt of I appeals, holding ofllce six "years, a chancellor, presiding pver the court of I chanoery, neven years, a chief justice I and thruo associates out of Blx, ilnd an attorney general, each holding ofllce soven years. Besides these, are the clerks, surrogates and sMrtflk of ooun- i ties; sixty-three ofllcer* in all, who will bo elected in 1887, for a term of Ave years. The Republicans will thus got ' control of tho xnost important .offices in the State, and will run tham,<we thist, more for the Interest of the people, and less for that of Camden and Amboy, than heretofore. A WODLD-BE CONGRESSMAN VROM I Georoia.?J. R. Stevens is a candidate I for Congress in the Rome (.Oa.) district, I In the Courier, of that place, he' pub-'j llshes n card. In which he Bays, "he was for secession In 1860-for secession In 1801?and 1* Ipll; a secessionist ** theory I but that inexorable necessity has 1 made him a good, loyal, Union man, and he bows submissively to the inev itable state of affairs which tate and the | weatnest of our armies have forced upon us." He tells the people of the Rome district: "Don't suppose for a moment that I intend to canvass the district and kiss I all the' children in it to secure tho sinlloi of their mothers and the votes of their fathers.-11 have no idea of under taking a task of that sort. If you like my principles and think loan truly represent you, vote for me) If y6u do nol, vole for Bomo one else. I shall not rejoice much if elected, and shall cer tainly not cry if defeated." The Reward fob Booth's aito Jbpf. Davis* Caftvbb.?Tho New York Ttrne.t says: It will be recollected that large sums of money were offered for the de tectlou and arrest or those engsged in I the assassination or President Lincoln, and subsequently for the capture oT JelT. Davis. Both matters were aooom plished. and the money for the.'arrest or Davis was not long since all paid over to General Wilson and hlc party. I Owing to the large number engage In hunting down Booth and hlsasBOcialm,. it was more difflcnltto tell to whom the reward was duo. The Secretary of War consequently appointed a oommittee to investigate the matter and make a prop er division. Thereportwasmadeontand sentto the Secretary ofWar.whoapprov ed arid Bent It to the presldentfor his ap proval and oider to disburse the money. Sro action has been take yet by him. A large nninber of detectives are now In Washington awaiting the announce-1 aonara, luauuvc ui ?and lu gold olftred In California. Now that tho New York Democracy I are eoundly beaten, the New York I Herald, which waa on the fence before Lhe election, takes courage, and admin-1 islets to them some sound raps..

Chaaan u son ffouf. The notion can only be termed a strange freak on the part of the bridegroom, -which "was acquiesccd in by his complaisant bride. The lady was at first strongly opposed to the no toriety, inseparable from the affair. After considerable correspondence (between the contracting parties the 1 negotiation was completed, and then Prot Lowe set about making the neces sary arrangements. The first thing re quisite was a suitable car, and he forth with ordered one of the largest wicker balloon cars ever constructed in this country, capable of seating six persons comfortably. This car was moat superb ly decorated, being furnished, with new Brussels carpet, damask cushions, lace curtains, and a blue silk canopy, mak ing a tout ensemble at once rich and apr propriate. The coat of this beautiful balloon car was 9500* OPJSNINO SCENES. At an early hour yesterday morning theprocess of inflating the mammoth balloon "United States" was com menced, and it continued in slow pro gress for several hours. The time fixed for the start was two p. m., but the want of common gas from the gas works Srevented punctuality. As the hour row near for the balloon to ascend, great crowds began to assemble in the vicinity of the ceronautlc enclosure, corner of Sixth avenue and Fftyininth Istreet. The neighboring rocks and T houses were covered with impatient spectators, and the slight eminences throughout that portion of Central Park were black with visitors, all desirous of catching a glimpse of the wedding party as they soared above their heads. In side the enclosure every available seat was occupied long before the appointed time?the majority of those present be ing ladles. Aa the sphere of the balloon rose above the walls of the amphitheatre, in the process of inflation, the crowds out side increased, and the box-keepers were kept busy. A steady current of visitors continued to pour in, despite the want or seats. Those arriving lata de scended to the platform and clambered upon the rocks which form the sur roundings of the incloaure.. In the centre was the platrorm, and over it labored uneasily the gradually growing bulk of silk and vapor destined to car ry the voyageura through mid-air. In front of the staircase was erected a neat evergreen arch, prettily decorated with flowers typical of the interesting event soon to take place. Over the arch hung the words, "Ever Thus;" in evergreen leaves. From the arch to the car of the balloon waa laid a carpet, flanked on olthor side by growing cedars. ?WAITING TOR THE BBUffi. Two o'clock and the balloon seemed to be rapidly filling, and yet ho bride or bridegroom made their appearance. People walked' about and viewed the ! balloon from every possible point;th'ey also visited the black bear up in the rocks, who waa very fat and quite soci able. In fcct, those present whlled away'the time as best they could, until the start. They found, by eager In Sulrles, that everything waa favorable; lat the day waa calm,' the wind did not blow seaward, the bride was in per fect health and Jfull of bravery, and so the spectators patiently waited, receiv ing every minute fresh accessions to their already crowded ranks. ARRIVAL OP TJIH WEDDING PARTY. Meanwhlletheballoonsteadlly, though Imperceptibly tills, the elasticity Is more upparent, and the time fixed for the departure is long past. Suddenly a stir is observable, aua in a minute the large gate at the rear of the enclosure opens, and two covered carriages drive In. These vehiclesarequickly surround ed by the people In the ground, while those in the balconies above becomo agitated and nervoualy excited. In a very short time the carriages approach theplatformund the bridalporty alight. The bridegroom is a tall, well featured man, and his bride is fully as good looking as rumor said she was. She appeared a little .flurried, but evidently determined not to withdraw nt the last stage of, the proceedings. The bridal palrweire accompanied by the Profes sor's family and Mends, all looking well, and no more flurried than the cir cumstances would seem to warrant. It was a part of the programme that the marrago ceremony should, be per formed on the platform just previous to the start. But this part was changed. The couple were quietly married in.one of the parlors or the Fifth Avenue Hotel, berore leaving for the baloon. To somo this was a disappointment, but the ma jority voted it "ail right." A marriage contract, however, had been drawn up for signature while lu the air, dated "Floating In Mid Air." . TUB START. I The air-ship proved -to be too weak in lifting power to carry all that were In tended to go, so the wedding party dwindled down to the married couple, one of the bridesmaids, Miss Susie Boynton and Professor Lowe.. As soon as the platrorm could ,be sufficiently cleared a start was attempted, but the freight was still too heavy.' A' change was therefore made, and the brides maid stepped out and the little daugh ter of Professor Boynton took her seat' within the car. This proved satisfactory,-and at the word the balloon waa cast off, slowly rislng as she canglit the rebound. A cheer was attempted but was interrupt ed by the seeming danger of the bal loon striking a flag-staff, and . every tongue was hushed. The oar collided, the flagstaff sprung beneath the blow, a sudden twist and all waa dear.. Then the crowds below cheered: most lastly, the ladles waved Iheiitbandkerohleb, and so tho start was complete. The balloon rose, glided upward beau tifully, and as the sea breeze caught its ailken sides, the ferial craft bounded up almost Instantly to a hlghtof some thousand feet, when it again drifted, sailing slowly over the Central Park toward High Bridge. The setting aun gilded the globe of the balloon into splendor, giving it the appearance of a golden ball." ' As thb crowd dispersed they seized npoh the evergreen arch, and1 in a very few second* nothing t>ut a wreck re mained. So ended the wedding in the air. RETURN OP THE RRIDAl. PARTY. Alter courting an hour and a half through space, and traveling a distance of twenty-five miles, the bridal p^rty landed without Untoward event, *t Mount Vernon, Westchester county, at five o'clock,, within fifteen minutes ride of the New Haven railroad. The serial tour, we are Informed, was eminently satisfactory ? to all concerned. One of the incidents of the trip was the specta cle of the mirage.
