THE MOIiMON QUESTION.
The passage of Mr. Cullont's anti-polyg
amy bill In the House of Representatives
indicates a feeling for active war against
the Mormon practice of much marrying.
Although the bill has been reduced in force
by the amendments which it underwent
before it passed the House, it still carries
with it considerable potency, enough to
disturb Brigham's conjugal happiness if
smartly administered. Mr. Ward of Xcw
York, a member of the committee on
territories, was for taking the monster
Polygamy by the throat and making short
work with it. He seemed to think that if
it were not throttled at once it would not
onlj^ corrupt and control tho adjoining
Christian communities, but become
the supreme power in the United States,
and put us all under the jurisdiction of
Brigham Young or his successors. Mr.
Schenck of < )hio, did not appear to love
the institution of Mormonism more than
the New York member, but to have more
confidence iu the strength of Christianity
and less fears of polygamy than the other,
and doubted whether Mr. ('idiom's bill
would prove, if tried, an effective iustru-j
ment in destroying the latter. Mr. Blair i
of Michigan expressed himself in favor of I
serving the harems of the Mormons as1
Cromwell did the convents, when he
stamped his foot on the threshold and said,:
“Go, spin, ye jades 1 Go spin Mr. Hooper i
of Utah, was the sole champion of the
many wives doctrine on the floor of the
House. Ho protested against the passage
of the bill, as a violation of the dearest
rights of the people of Utah and fraught
with evil. This was the first time in the
history of the American government that
the proposition was made to punish citi
zens for their belief or disbelief. The
bill declared that the social system which
Moses taught, which God allowed, and
from which Christ had sprung was a crime,
and that every one not simply practicing
it, hut believing in it, was to be—not tried,
but convicted; his wife turned otitjon the
world, his property confiscated for the ben
efit of the moral reformers who were the !
instigators of the bill. Thus argued Mr. ,
Hooper. |
\\ hue this discussion lets been going on
in Congress over tlie corner stone of Mor
monistn, tlie prophet of that faith, accom
panied by his favorite wife for tlie present
time, and several of his elders, has taken
a far journey from Salt Lake city to tlie
confines of Arizona. What this pilgrimage
is for seems to be a matter of doubt, in
quiry, and speculation. While Mr. Hooper
avows that Brigham is only journeying to
view his distant possessions, as lie often
does, there are those who do not hesitate
to express the opinion that lie is prospect
ing for a place for future settlement in
ease Mr. Cullom in Congress and the
schismatics in Utah make Salt Lake too
uncomfortable for him to remain in. ' It is
asserted by those who profess to know,
that if he concludes to abandon his pleas
ant places in Utah and seek safety for him
self, his doctrines and numerous wives in
some new locality, he will be followed by
but a small portion of the Mormons, and
that the separation will be the death of the
whole concern finally. This may lie so,
but there are good reasons to doubt that
we shall so easily get rid of tlie Mormon
evil. Brigham Young will not leave Utah,
where he has made the “desert blossom
like the rose,'' until dire necessity forces
him to leave, lie can be no more safe
from molestation anywhere else in tlie
United States than in Utah. Railroads,!
telegraphs, and Cullom bills will follow
him wherever he may go. He must go I
beyond the rcaeh of this government to 1
some other country to escape the tide
which is setting against him.
Like Mr. Schcnek, however, we place
more confidence in the Influences of civil
ization and Christianity to strangle in their
embrace the institutions of the Latter Day
Saints than the Cromwellian method sug-!
gested by Mr. Blair. True, slavery re
sisted them and died at last only of the
sword, but the contest in that case was
more equal in numbers and political influ
ence, and slavery took its stand upon the !
table. While there was no railroad to the
Pacific, and no Christian settlements being j
made in proximity to the territory which 1
he occupied, Brigham scoffed at the ef
forts of the government to interfere in his
affairs; but since the innovations of the
few last months thero is evidently more
uneasiness in the Prophet's mind than for
merly, and a fearful looking forward to
the result of the collision between the faith
which he professess and the Christian re
ligion.

Senator John Sherman has written to
The Cincinnati Commercial, under date of
March lith. answering various criticisms
t»n the hank sections of the Funding bill.
It is claimed, lie says, that it is unjust to
compel the National Hanks to secure their
circulation by a deposit <>1 the new bonds.
It is said to violate the public faitii pledged
to them, and lonfisoatc a part of their
property. This is not true in any respect. -
Some of the National banks hold the bonds
of’SI, stud the lil-lii bonds not yet due.
These thev may withdraw at am time, or
sell, or bold, at their pleasure. 'Vlie Fund
ing bill places tlie 'Mis above par, and the
banks enjoy the premium. The (iovern
inint will ask only, by this hill, that the
banks either use the new bonds for secu
rity, or retire from business with their
property unimpaired, -•> that new hunks.
\villitig to niil in reducing the public debt,
in exchange for a valuable franchise, may
take their places. Thi-'is clearly within
i the power of Congress : it i-ju-t : it is for
the interest of the banks: and it* defeat
will tend to overthrow the entire system.
The right to i--ur note- i- held by the
hanks at the pleasure of Congress, which
reserves the right to change or modify the
: hanking system. The national Hanks
j were organized to accomplish three objects
: (1) to absorb the paper of State bunks ;(*J)
* to furnish a uliitorni currency: (H) to tur
1 nisli a market for I'nited States bonds.
The system has been prolital.de to both the
banks*and the public. The Funding Hill
i is hased on the -opposition that it will
! continue to be so. It proposes to witli
; draw the greenbacks and give the hanks
the entire Held of circulation. It is said
j the National banks pay heavy taxes; it
they go intoprivate banking they will pay
| he:tvi**r tax®. As to going back to local
j State bunks, that absurdity is out of the
I question. Senator Sherman asserts that
11r* ha.- always been a frb ’ I to the Nation
al Hanking system. The movement
against tiie bill, in* says, does not come
from tin* West, but irt iu tin* men who
have a sec tional monopoly of the. banking
frnnehise, and “chiefly from a gentleman
who, when Controller of the Currency, in
violation of law, gave this monopoly to
the old banks in New England and New
York.” The English Parliament did with
tin* Hank of England exactly what this bill
proposes to do with our bank-.
TUI 111) PARTY.
A call is issued for a meeting of the
••State Temperance Political Committee''
of the third party, to be held at Lewiston,
April 13. The Temperance Advocate of
Hath, says it i- pleased to notice this early
action,' and hopes there will lie a toll at
tendance of the members and that they i
may call a State Convention for the nonii- j
nation of a candidate lor governor at an
early day. The Advocate adds:
• Now is the time for us to come nut anil
work for the cause. The party has commenced
under very favorable auspices in this State,
is supported, we believe, bv the most active
workers in the cause. The temperance or
ganizations are fully committed to its inter
ests. Let us make early nominations for the
State officers, not forgetting the most impor
tant w ork of nominating and electing, if possi
ble, men for Congress who will act in l'nvor
uf the entire prohibition of the importation
and manufacture of intoxicating liquors in the
l'lilted States.”
THE TH E SOME SON AT ST. JOILYS.
SINKING OK I.AND, WIIAKYLS AND HIUUl
LANDINGS.
The St. John's (New Brunswick) Tele
graph gives the following particulars of
the phenomenon at that place, recently re
ported by telegraph:
■‘On the lnlh iust.. just before the be
ginning ol tin snow storm, a strange noise,
similar to that accompanying the earth
quake on the inumillg of the ZL’d of Octo
ber last, was heard by the residents of the
lower end of Protection street, Carleton.
The noise roused many lrum their beds,
who, on going down to the harbor, found
that a Startling change had taken place in
the appearance of the land and wharves.
The tide was nearly down, and, though it
was quite dark, it could he seen that the
idil ferry landing, which should be several
feet above water, had vanished. Messrs.
Littlehale and ('drain's wharf-—better I
Known as ( Oram's wharf-—had nearly dis
appeared.
“A frontage several hundred feet in ex
tent, running from the line of the demol
ished wharf towards the breakwater, has
gone down, leaving a steep embankment
sloping towards the harbor. About mid
way along this new embankment, and less
than one hundred feet from it into the har
bor, is the place where the old ferry land
ing was. On this spot soundings were
made by Mr. Joseph O'Brien, Mr. Clark
and others, last evening, and where the
old ballast or reef was the day before,
rising above the water eight feet, they
found six fathoms of water, showing that
evi 11 so m ar the -1 ,ne as that the bottom \
h<vl just thirty-tiro jut. Near where
the portion of the whan settled away, or
where a moderately sized vessel used to
ground at low water, there is now between
six and seven fathoms at low tide. One of
Messrs. Adams' buoys, moored about four
or live hundred feet from the shore, had
disappeared, and last evening, when tin*
tide was at its lowest level, the current
was just showing a ripple over the top of
it. As the tides rise nod fa!! about Ihirtv
feet iii St. John's harbor, and the chain of!
this buoy had several fathoms of scope, it
may be inferred that the bottom sank as
much a- nine or ten lathoms at this point.
"So tar as could be ascertained yester
day, alter the blinding snow storm sub
sided, it was thought that at the surface of
the harbor bed a portion extending over
an area of perhaps three acres had been af
fected. ft would not he surprising if,with
the swift current of the harbor, the break
water on the east side would become af
fected in time.”
In a note to the Portland Advertiser,
Mr. .Johnson, State Superintendent of
schools, makes the following summary of
the action in relation to schools of the Leg
islature at it- recent session :
1. Establishment of the school week, 5 1-2
days, ami school month, 22 days. Special
agreements may he made otherwise.
2. Creating the office of town supervisor,
instead ot superintending school committee of
three.
3. Authorizing towns to purchase or con
tract for school books.
4. Enabling act, to abolish the district
system.
8. Establishing clerkship in the office of
Superintendent of Schools. Salary $1200.
0 Absolutely transferring the employing of
teachers from district agents to the school
committee. This and the specified authority
to abolish the district system arc two long
strides in the right direction.
7. $4,000 appropriated for institutes.
3. $ 10,000 appropriated for county super
visorships.
0. 810,000, ''last year $0,000) for Normal
schools.
THE DAMES CASAL.
In a lecture recently delivered by S. P.
Pinsmore before the Geographical Society
of New York, upon’the subject of the Da
rien Canal, the lecturer said :
‘•I am glad to say that a company of
wealthy, active, and intelligent men lias been
tunned in this city for the avowed purpose of
cutting a canal across the Isthmus of Darien,
ami that a United States expedition, under
Commander Selfridge, is now in Darien sur
veying. 1 believe that we may soon hope to see
a capacious canal cut through the Isthmus
which w ill realize the pet dream of Columbus
-—a shorter route to the Indies." The speaker
then enumerated the various routes which
have been surveyed, including the plan ot Mr. j
K. M. Kelley of New York, who, in 1S(>4. pro
posed cutting a canal at San Bias. where the
land is only do miles wide; also, that in
Tehuantepec and in Nicaragua. The plan of
cutting through at Nicaragua—a favorite one
of the Emperor Napoleon—is to connect with
Lake Nicaragua, overcoming the difference of
llo feet in level between the Lake and the
Pacific by locks. This canal. Mr. Pinsmore
said, would be 1114 miles long, and vastly ex
pensive. The short route at San Bias, if
adopted, has the drawback that the moun
tain- ri-e immediately from the sea. so that
after three miles of rock-cutting, a tunnel of
seven miles will be necessary. A glowing
description of the rapidity w ith which the
Iloosac tunnel is now proceeding was given,
and the belief expressed that by similar means
we could cut this canal easily and cheaply,
mukingtft a door to the seas, and a key to the
universe.
An error occurred in the transmission of
our despatch concerning the Maine State
legislative report, by which the onslaught
of Mr. Barker of Stetson upon the com
mission, and upon Governor Chamberlain,
was made to appear as by Mr. Baker of
Augusta. The latter gentleman's posi
tion on the question has been entirely dil
ferent front that of Mr. Barker, and he
has always been a cordial supporter of
Governor Chamberlain's administration.

A CASE OF TWENTY YEARs* STANDING.
1‘iiil u>i:u in a . Penu , June 25, ujg7.
II T. Iln.MUoU), Druggist—Pf.vr Sir: i have
been a sufferer lor upward* of twenty years with
gravel, bladder and kidmy affections, during which
time l have used various medicinal preparation!*,
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relict.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised. 1 consulted my family physical! in regard
to using v our Ei|tract|Huchu
1 did tins because 1 had used all kinds of adver
tised rehiedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite ipjtiriotis; in fact. 1 despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies*
hereafter unless 1 knew of the ingredients. It was
this that prompted me to u-e your reinedv. As you
advertised that it was composed of bin hu, eubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
ician as an excellent combination ; and with hi- ad
vice. after an examination ot the article and con
sulting again w ith the drmrgi-t. 1 concluded to try
it I commenced to u-e t about eight mouth* ago,
at which time I va- confined to my room
From the tlr-t bottle 1 was astonished at the ben»
eli- lal effect, ami alter using it three weeks wait
able to walk out I felt much like writing to you a
full -fst.-ment of my c.-i-e at the time, hut thought
my improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore •••minded to defer, and -ee it it would
effect a perfect cure, knowing that it would be of
greater vaiiu to you andinoie satisfactory to me.
I am now able’to report that a cure is effected,
alter using the r« inedy l«*r live month-.
1 have not used any now for three months, and
feel us well in all respect- a - 1 ever did.
Your Hut hu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, a nice tmue and invigorntor of the system.
