(Cheers.) We succeeded, and I think that ever since that time this constituency has stood high among the consti tuencies of England for independence of character and for an honest exercise of the franchise that the constitution bestows. (Cheers.) You have sup ported me since upon many occasions. You sup ported me when 1 was enabled to take part in the Government of the country, and although that tie is now severed between us, it is your support, it is your regard, it is your esteem that will, in the dis tant climate to which I am going, and to the altered duties that I shall have to fulfil, be a great comfort to me, and will enable me, I hope, by my earnest desire to win your approbation in the new sphere to which I am called, to fulfil the far different duties which lam called upon to perform. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, the tie between us is for the present severed. I have said that I hope it will be renewed. But at the same time, although I shall be far away, and although the climates in which we are called upon to fulfil the duties of our stations are far different, although my name will be removed from the list of those who are entitled to take a share in the affairs of this borough, yet I hope that all pre sent will believe that in any respect in which I can assist you, in which I can co-operate with you, and in which I can labour with you for the benefit of this borough, my services will be most willingly granted and will always be at your command. (Cheers.) I hope when I return to find this borough in many respects greatly improved. You have very ancient privileges and an ancient name ; you have besides at this time a prospect of great prosperity, great in fluence in the county ; and, in fact, an enlarged career and sphere is before this town. I hope and trust that in many local matters I shall find great improvement ; and let ine say one thing in passing in reference to that matter—l have heard with great pleasure that it has been mooted amongst you as a desirable thing that the ancient privileges of the borough should be restored or revived. I believe that it is the great want of the borough at this time that we have no local governing authority, and that, instead of having the new honours of a mayor and aldermen and that sort of thing, you would much prefer to have the ancient privileges of the corpora tion of the borough restored and revived. As a con sequence of that I hope to see the town-hall restored, enlarged, and adapted to the purposes for which it is required ; and if that restoration is undertaken I can only say that I shall be happy to put my name down for £lOO towards the accomplishment of that desirable object. (Cheers.) May I now turn to the I ladies ? From the very first moment that I came amongst you I fortunately found that the ladies have always been upon my side. (Cheers and laughter.) And upon more than one occasion I am sure those who have supported me amongst the gentlemen of the town will say that their success and mine has been greatly contributed to, if not secured, by the co-operation of the fair sex. I have felt it the more because those who were opposed to me have not been in that position. Whilst I have had the favour of the ladies, they have has, perhaps, just a gleam or two of sunshine, which, like a ray of light coming into a dark room, has rendered the gloom of their position in that respect the more remarkable. There are many that I see around me who treated me with their favour and kindness in the earlier parts of my career, but with whom time has dealt so lightly ' that it requires me to look back to political life and circumstances, and not to them, to remind of the years that are past. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) There are others younger who have been kind enough to give me their support in later years ; and there are also some who, . 1 hope, when I return, will follow the good example of those who have preceded them, and that when I seek to renew my acquaintance and position towards Testimonial to the Bight Eon.

Her Majesty's 11-gun screw steam sloop Rapid, 672 tons and 150 horse power, fitted out at Wool wich, and commissioned on the 10th of June, 1862, by Commander C. T. Jago, promoted April 11, 1866, arrived at Woolwich to be paid out of com mission on Saturday last, from the Cape of Good Hope, in charge of CommanderW. Stubbs (acting), from the flagship Seringapatam, Commodore Cald well, on the Cape station. Although there was a heavy fog hanging over the shipping in the river, the Rapid, appointed to undergo the official inspec tion, was yesterday visited by Commodore W. Ed monstone, C. 8., Aide-de -Camp to the Queen, and Superinteudent of Woolwich Dockyard, and his secretary, Mr. F.

Dupuis, the Master W. F. Rowe, the Surgeon, D. G. Pendrith, Paymaster Foster, Assist.-Surgeon Harvey, and five others, have returned with the Rapid. She sailed from Simon's Bay on the 21st of October last, and on account of the defective state of her boilers she made her way home under canvas. The voyage was performed with great caution, and extended over a period of 81 days. Her term of service—namely, four years and seven months—has been passed in the Mozambique Chan nel, on the coast of Madagascar, where she has been engaged in the suppression of the slave trade. She has captured ten Arab dhows, with about 500 slaves on board, by which the ship's company will receive prize shares amounting to £5 each. Her Majesty's Ordnance steam storeship Earl de Grey and Ripon, Commander H. T. Moore, da maged in the late gale in the Irish Channel, and ex pected at Woolwich on Saturday on her return from Cork, is still due.

The Urgent, troopship, Capt. S. Henderson, went out of Portsmouth harbour on Saturday for a trial of speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, under the charge of the officials of the steam reserve and dockyard, but the weather proving unfavourableshe returned to the harbour, and yesterday was swung to ascertain the deviation of her compasses. The machinery was in good order and worked well, and it is supposed the trial will be dispensed with, as she is appointed to leave about the 25th for China, with a number of naval officers and supernumerary sea men. The Medusa, paddlewheel steamer, Master Cora mander Potter, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from Plymouth, with men paid off from the Gibraltar, screw steamship, Capt. Coote.

During the whole of yesterday the frost in Lon don continued very severe. At 9in the morning the thermometer at the receiving-house in Hyde- park stood at 13 deg. only, but between 9 and 12 it had advanced to 25 deg. It again fell in the after noon, until 5 o'clock last night, when it was again down to 20 deg. Early yesterday morning there hung over the metropolis a yellow fog, which wos extremely dense at the east-end. By noon, how ever, the fog had pretty well cleared away. As was expected from the continuance of the frost, the ice on the waters in the parks, with the exception of the less exposed part, the western end of the Serpentine, was tolerably firm, and in good condition for skat ing, being, on an average, from 2 to 2i inches in thickness, and a consideeable number of persons were thus enabled to enjoy the exercise. A large number of accidents took place during the day, but noun were fatal. In the Regent's-park about 3 ,000 persons were on the ice during the day. The members of the Skating Club, both ladies and gentlemen, mus tered in large numbers. About 2 o'clock, when there were nearly 2,000 persons on the ice, an alarm was given that some one had fallen in. A rush took place towards the spot whence the cries for help came, and the consequence was the giving way of the ice in several directions, and no less than 21 persons were in the water, which was very deep at the spot. The icemen promptly came to the rescue with their lines, poles, and wicker boats, and several of them, who were provided with cork jackets, at once jumped into the water. In about five minutes they had suc ceeded in rescuing the whole of the 21 persons from their perilous position. One only required medical attendance, and it was some minutes before he was restored to consciousness. With the exception of injuries from falls, no other accident of importance occurred in the park during the day. On the Long Water and Round Pond in Kensington-gardens, the ice was very firm, especially in the former place, and fully 5,000 persons were on it during the day, in cluding a number of ladies and gentlemen of the Skating Club, who have two spacious tents erected in the gardens. The Serpentine was entirely frozen over, brit from the receiving-house westward the ice was riot more than half an inch thick, and the park-keepers and icemen prevented any person from going upon it, although several persons were foolhardy enough to desire to do so. At the eastern end, near the Albert Bridge, the ice was tolerably safe, and several hun dreds were upon it during the day. About three o'clock in the afternoon Mr. J. Harman, of Ports- down-terrace, Kilburn, had a narrow eseape from drowning. He was skating very rapidly and the mo mentum carried him over the rope laid down where the ice became dangerous. In asecond he fell through into water nine feet deep. His shouts for help soon brought some of the icemen to the spot, but several minutes elapsed before any effectual aid could be rendered to him, and he was at last got out ex hausted and carried into the receiving -house, where he was placed in bed and attended by Dr. Christian. It was not until a late hour in the evening that he had sufficiently recovered to proceed to his home. One of the icemen, named James Taylor, also nar rowly escaped drowning while attempting to rescue Mr. Harman, having fallen through the ice into deep water. In addition to the above seven cases of severe injury from falls were brought into the re ceiving-house and attended. In one of these cases the skate twisted round the foot of the wearer and inflicted a deep wound just above the ankle. The wound was dressed, and the injured man went home in a cab, he having previously deposited a sum of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 15, 1867. money in the charitable box of the Humane Society on the premises. It is worthy of remark that, not withstanding the intense cold, Mr. Williams, of the receiving -house, reports ten persons as having bathed in the Serpentine yesterday morning, and thatthere is not a morning throughout the winter, however cold, when there are fewer than 10 to 15 bathers. On the water in the enclosure of St.James's Park the ice was generally very strong, and many thou . sands of skaters and sliders were upon it from an aarly hour in the morning until dusk. Numerous immer- sions took place, and some severe injuries from falls occurred, but none of a fatal character. The above cases were all taken to the Humane Society's tent, and those requiring it were promptly attended to by Dr. M'Cann. The Humane Society have 37 ice- men on duty in the parks during the frost, some of whom are on duty all night, and the secretary, Mr. L. Young, makes a daily round of all the parks to see that the duty is properly performed. The Battersea and Victoria-park waters, as well as the ponds on Hampstead-heath and Clapham-common, and the lakes at the Crystal Palace, were all largely patronised by the lovers of skating. Great masses of ice were yesterday floating up and down with the tide on the Thames, and the traffic through the bridges, especially at Blackfriars, was very dan gerous. The Scotsman of yesterday says :—" The weather in Edinburgh on Saturday was very severe. There was a keen frost, and in addition a strong, bitter wind prevailed. There were one or two slight falls of snow during the forenoon, but, save at these in tervals, the sky was clear and by no means threat ening. In the afternoon, however, an unpleasant change occurred ; the wind increased until it blew almost a hurricane, and the snow, which was finely pulverised, came down in blinding thickness, and drifted in places to a depth of several inches. To wards 4 o'clock the storm abated, and the night was clear though intensely cold. Sunday was a clear frosty day, with much sunshine, but no warmth. The barometer was steady, and during the night the thermometer, even on the walls of a heated build ing, fell to about 20 deg. The lochs on Saturday were crowded all day, and skaters and curlers, un deterred by the gale, enjoyed their sport with great success. Of the accident near Aberdeen the Scotsman says : —"We learn by telegraph from our Aberdeen cor respondent that a fatal collision occurred near Muchalls Station, on the Scottish North Eastern Railway, about 6 o'clock on Sunday morning, be tween two pilot engines. One engine coming from Aberdeen, with a snow-plough attached to it, met another which was going north, and in the darkness they ran into each other. Thomas Cormie, fireman, and Alex. Anderson, foreman platelayer, were killed instantaneously. John Guild, pilot, however, saved himself by leaping off, when he perceived his danger from the engine. John Methuen, the driven, had both legs and one of his arms broken, and his in juries were such that he died soon afterwards. The force of the collision was such that it knocked the tender to pieces, and it was one of the splinters that struck Anderson and killed him. Cormie, a native of Markinch, leaves a wife and family, who live in Aberdeen. Robert Petrie, the fireman, was also much injured. Dr. Keith left Aberdeen for the scene of the accident in a dogcart. All the injured men were taken to Stonehaven, and were there attended to by Dr. Keith." EDINBURGH, Monday Night. About 20 mail bags from the north are overdue here. On Sunday many of the Aberdeen and Inver ness mails due on Friday and Saturday were received; but there has been again a large arrear, and no through communication has to-day taken place with Edinburgh from places north of Blair Athol on the Highland line and Montrose on the Aberdeen line. The latest telegrams from the north, however, inti mate the reopening of the communication between Perth and Aberdeen. The snow fall here has been slight, and a keen frost prevails. ABERDEEN, Monday Night. During last night and to-day snow continued to fall heavily at frequent intervals. Since telegram of last evening there has been no railway communica tion whatever to the north or upDeeside, and traffic in these directions has ceased. The London train of Saturday due at Aberdeen yesterday at noon did not arrive hero till this forenoon, 23 hours behind time. A mail for London and the south was despatched this afternoon, but in the evening it was reported not to have got beyond Stonehaven, 16 miles from Aber deen. The weather to-night is fair and frosty. PORTHDUILLAEN (North Wales), Jan. 12. During a heavy gale from N.N.E. this morning (reports the Rev. John Hughes), the smack, Cathe rine, of Barmouth, bound to that port from Liver pool, with a general cargo, anchored too far to leeward in Porthduillaen Bay, and at low water struck the ground, on which she for some time beat heavily. On seeing the dangerous position of the vessel, the Cotton Shepherd lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was at once launched. On reaching the smack, which had parted from one of her anchors, the master availed himself of the assistance of the lifeboat, and some of the men from the boat were put on board, and ultimately the vessel and her crew were brought safely into harbour. But for this timely aid the vessel must have become a total wreck in a very short time, and this is a fresh instance of the great..advantage having a lifeboat stationed here. in reply to signals to the National Lif SWANSEA, Jan. 12.

Some of the crew of the lifeboat were put on board the vessel, and the lifeboat also secured the services of a steamer to tow the disabled vessel into Swansea. She was the Jeanne d'Arc, of Nantes, bound from Swansea to that place with coal, and she would doubtless have been lost but for the assistance rendered by the lifeboat. Paris Universal Exhibition of 1867. The whole of the following paper will repay minute study. It affects, perhaps, the most vital question of the day, the struggle between labour and capital ; and no words of ours could add to the appreciation which these latest labours of the Impe rial Commission must win from all thinking men. The official document issued by the British section on the topic we have alluded to above runs thus : A distinct order of reward, " instituted in favour of persons, establishments, or localities, which, by a special organisation or special institutions, have de veloped a spirit of harmony among all those co operating iu the same work, and have provided for the material, moral, and intellectual well-being of the workman.

The Grand Secret.—With the ogs and foul vapours of winter health will creep in unless the blood from time to purified, and noxious matters expelled from the body. In this matter the public may be its own physician. Hollo way's pills may be purchased at a trifling cost ; instruc tions for taking them will be furnishad with the pills, and a little attention, with a few restrictions, will enable per sons to keep themselves in health under very trying cir cumstances. These pills act as alteratives, tonics, and aperients. Holloway's medicine should find a place in every house and home, where it should be ready for in stant administration when the slightest symptom gives warning approchipg indisposition. 'HE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The Ides of March are upon us. There may be frost and snow without, but the symptoms of the coming spring thicken. Streams of eloquence which have been pent up during the winter are waiting but a signal to issue forth once more. Al ready we hear of the Parliame n t ar y di nners which solemnise the opening of the sealed waters, and after—is it the deluge? What will it be when the floods come ? is the thought of many a member now snugly ensconced in the country as he notes the signs of the advancing season. Will he be swept away clean out of mind, or will some lucky chance bear him into an eddy where he may, swiftly re volving en his own axis, escape d es t ruc ti on ? This is the question which haunts the unhappy member as he looks backwards and f orwar d s . P er h a p s he is a Liberal who has always voted on the right side with a cheerfulness proportionate to his belief that nothing would come of it, and now dimly perceives that something may come of it. Perhaps he has been a Tory, stout and stubborn, and is tormented with a fear lest, like Lord Castkragh, he may be required to turn his back upon himself. Anyhow, his peace of mind is troubled. The prospects and retrospects of many a member of the House of Commons are alike unpleasant, but we are assured that every cloud has its silver lining. If the recol lection of our own mistakes be irksome, we can divert ourselves by dwelli ng upon th ose o f our neigh bours. " There is something in the misfortunes of our best friends," says the cynical Frenchman, "not unproductive of consolation, and our friends luckily are not aware of it." Among the signs heralding the coming Session may be reckoned the republica tion of speeches, and it will indeed be hard if they bring us no comfort. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer and Mr. Bright, acting, as we may sup pose, independently of each other, have resolved to reprint their speeches on Parliamentary Reform. The announcement of Mr. Disraeli's intention to collect his disquisitions on this question was first, made, but, while we are still waiting for the fulfil ment of this promise, Mr. Bright's speeches have appeared. Mr. Disraeli's printer is, perhaps, a laggard ; perhaps his own Christmas holidays have been unusually prolonged ; perhaps his speeches require a great deal of editing, and the time of a Cabinet Minister is naturally somewhat occupied, However it may be, Mr. Bright has forestalled his formidable antagonist, and is first at the post. We cannot help regretting that it was thought advis able to include in the eightpenny pamphlet before us, the price of which might have been increased for the purpose, a reprint of the collection Mr. Bright published eight years ago. A certain repetition —a harping on the same theme with little variation of treatment, and no marks of progress, might, no doubt, have been observable ; but the earlier collec tion has long been out of print, and i . t would have been well to take the opportunity of giving it to the world anew. Mr. Bright's speeches are un questionably the best thing about him ; his warmest admirers will probably allow that the legislation he has from time to time proposed gives little promise of practical statesmanship ; while his fiercest op ponents, if their ignorance be not equal to their must admit that in his own style of robust and manly eloquence he is without an equal. But we must be content with the speeches delivered since the end of last session, in the absence of a com plete collection, and, indeed, they exhibit pretty fully the character of the speaker and the simplicity of his plans of Parliamentary Reform. All the sub stance of Mr. Bright's political philosophy is here. His reasoning is always transparent, and, indeed, it is impossible to glance through this little pamphlet without understanding why he should . be regarded with dislike by one large section of his countrymen and with distrust by a still larger number. Mr. Bright himself is, we believe sincerely, unable to comprehend why he should be the object of such feelings. The only explanation he can discover for the fact lies in the resentful arrogance of a proud aristocracy, or the natural depravity of the human heart. Dispassionate observers can be at no loss for reasons more satisfactorily explaining why men differ from Mr. Bright. We are not speak ing of the fanatical outbursts of those who have re cently been doing their best on the hustings, or under the excitement of Conservative tea parties, to further the ends they dread. Liberals of unimpeachable character stand aloof from the member for Birmingham. We find in these speeches an expression of regret that Mr. Baines had declined to appear at o ne o f the meet ings he addressed. It is not very long since Miss Martineau—whose faults are c er t a i n ly neither timidity nor illib era li ty -- d enounced Mr. Bright as a representative demagogue. It would be easy to multiply instances of such feeling, and the pamphlet now published shows how it arises. If we use Miss Martineau's phrase, we do so in no offensive sense, but it is because Mr. Bright is in herently a demagogue that his influenceis distrusted. Mr. Bright's power is purchased at the cost of breadth of view. Inflamed at the sight of what he deems, and often rightly deems, to be an injustice, he hurries to its reparation without taking count of the mischief he may do in the process. Like the cannon-ball, he goes "shattering th a t h e may reac h , " if not " shattering what he reaches." His concep tions of a State are alike crude and superficial. He has never said anything to l ea d us to believe that he has conceived a nation as containing an infinite num ber of classes, the members of which may and should pass from one to the other, but w hi c h a l ways rema i n themselves to maintain by their varied tastes, habits, and culture a healthy and vigorous national life. On the contrary, Mr. Bright's arguments and plans of Reform point to a national uniformity, which is not redeemed by any to uc h o f l o f t i ness. His pattern nation would co ns i s t o f men moulded after one fashion. His pattern Legislati ve A ssem bl y would not be a deliberative body furni s h e d w ith every variety of thinkers so much as an assemblage of men of the same opinions shortly determining on the same ends. If we may b orrow the party names of the United States, we may say that Mr. Bright is naturally a Democrat rather than a Republican, though accident has thrown his sympathies in the contrary direction. It is a consequence of the de fect we have noticed that Mr. Bright should be un able to see why people differ from him, though it cannot excuse an impatience which refuses to try and comprehend the grounds of difference. Mr. Bright is thus habitu a ll y , if not w il fully, unjust. A singleinstance may be cited out of the many with which the pamphlet before us abounds. Referring to Lord Stanley' s s p eec h on the amendment to the Franchise Bill of last session, Mr. Bright says that it led to the conclusion that Lord Stan ley would give no votes t o any of the working th classes osev o u t n es ti e l o h n e l d sa b w o by of theno n s oto them. of seatsochar a t r h g a e t could be more unfounded, and none could be more characteristic that such a o f the misinterpretation accuser. ,it impos sibleexcept by one wh o h a d narrowed his mind s uld b o e as made,snot to admit the existence of opinions sincerely differing from his own. If th e co ll ection of Mr. Bright's speechesimpress us only too strongly with the same sense of the partiality of vision, the narrowness of thought, the inj us ti ce of judgment, which we felt in reading each when it was delivered, we shrill not copy the speak er ' s errors in therefore denouncing his speeches as vain. Th e use f u l ness o f t h e M em b er for Birmingham in the body politic is sadly marred by these defects, but his great gifts cannot be ren dered wholly worthless. Much of his labour has to be counteracted ; but he still does service in urging us forward. The main fault of Mr. Bright lies, however, in an impatience of mental labour. In the first of the speeches before us he told the people of Birmingham how well he remembered 1832, when his young heart was stirred by the trumpet blast that was then sounded. The impressions of early manhood are always those most vividly pre served ; but it is to be feared that Mr. Bright has done little or nothing to correct the first judgments of his youth. There is nothing in these speeches, there is nothing in his political career to induce uz. to suppose that he has modified one opinion or ad vanced one hair's breadth since the time of the Re form Bill. 'The ideal of representative institutions to which his speeches point consist of household, if not universal, suffrage, equal electoral districts, and vote by ballot ; and it would seem that he has never for a moment doubted the justice or wisdom of a creed which is founded entirely on the prin ciples of Lord Grey's Bill. In the years which have passed since 1832 men have discovered the Radical defects of a scheme which, if realised, would destroy representation altogether, but Mr. Bright has been unaffected by this growth in knowledge. As he goes from town to town addressing meeting after meeting he reproduces arguments which are of no force, except in supporting ideas of legislation which may be pronounced obsolete. The arguments are embellished from time to time by quotations from the rhetorical poets ; but they are no otherwise varied. This absence of growth springs, possibly, from the impatience which is the root of Mr. Bright's other faults ; but it is in itself a main cause why the men of the younger generation are repelled from his side, and his apparently studied ignorance of all that has been written or spoken for the past thirty years on Reform justifies their refusal to ac cept him as a Reformer and a guide. to 1;)1 THE AMERICAN PRESS. Our claim to be a nation has been vindicated, and it must be confirmed by the energy with which from a new point of departure, we shall swiftly ad vance along the path of empire. Without wasting time in attempting petty and spiteful encroach ments upon the executive powers of the President., Congress will now have ample scope for the exercise of its own legitimate constitutional functions. Ter- ritorial legislation, for instance, will open a wide and important field for this, particularly in Utah. An initiatory step in this direction has been taken by Senator Howard, of Michigan, who offered the other day an amendment to the amendments re ported by the Committee on Territories to the bill of last session to regulate the selection of grand and petit jurors in Utah, and for other purposes. The most significant feature in this amendment is the following clause :—" And if any person shall presume to solemnise marriage in said Ter ritory who is not by this act authorised so to do, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, and, upon conviction thereof before any court of competent jurisdiction, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars nor le s than one hundred dollars, or be imprisoned in the Penitentiary not exceeding six months, nor less • than one month, or both, at the discretion of the court." This is a direct blow at polygamy as practised among the Saints in Utah; for it extends to that territory the provisions of common law enforced elsewhere in this country, which prohibit magistrate or mi, , ißter from sol mniz3ilg a 111rri.ige between a man and a woman when either party to the con tract has already a wife or a husband. If this amendment be adopted by Congress, and enforced by legal and military authority, Brigham Young and the Mormon elders may well tremble lest they lose even the heaven-delegated authority which they will plead in opposition to it. Of course, all the Mormons in Salt Lake City will groan over this profane interference by Gentiles with what they deem their sacred right of regulating marriage by the rules of their own Church. Nor will there be wanting, perhaps, some opponents to it among the strangers within their gates. Certain Gentiles, there and elsewhere, may contend that, inasmuch as marriage is legally re cognised in this country (in the State of New York for example) only as a civil contract, and as all acts of legislation are ultimately dependent for their force upon public opinion, Senator Howard's amendment would prove virtually a dead letter, so long as public opinion in Utah should remain irre concilably hostile opposed to it. The change iu public opinion as to the matter of slavery has wrought a change in the laws relating to it, cancelling or ren dering obsolete those which, as the exponent of a different public opinion, formerly sanctioned and sustained it. A similar change of public opinion as to marriage might leaven legislation concerning it, either changing the laws entirely or practically nullifying them. Nay, shrill voices have scarcely ceased echoing in the halls of Cooper Institute (where the Women's Rights Convention has just been held), which predicted that the move ment for equal rights, irrespective of sex or colour, is bound to be successful, and will end by giving women votes, simply by the force of an inevitable change in public opinion. Now, as there must be two or more women to one man in each polygamous marriage—" seven women laying hold of one man in the good timecoming which is anticipated by these petticoated philanthropists—the women will be the principal parties to the contract in question, and when they shall come to express public opinion by voting, legislation may finally pass into their hands. And is any man competent to say what their deci sion may be ? Seriously, now that the old laws of the Church have been so generally annulled by society, and a fatal facility of divorce exists in the Eastern States, while polygamy flourishes in Utah, I it is high time that thoughtful men and women should thoroughly study a subject in which our social and national life is so deeply involved. They should not overlook such tendencies as are indicated by Senator Howard's amendment towards recogni tion of its importance and definite legislation regard ing it.—New York Herald. • The New York Herald first announced Mor monism at its very birth, and closely watching its extraordinary growth, has frequently called attention to its possible influence as a disturbing force amidst the social, religious, and political elements of our American system. Philosophical foreigners have thus been led to study Mormonism as a problem which struck many of them as not less difficult and dangerous within its sphere than the problem of slavery. Its vital importance has at length engaged the practical attention of Con gress. Not only Brigham Young and his seventy elders, the apostles, bishops, missionaries, and other eminent saints of Mormondom, together with their wives and children, " too numerous to mention," but all families throughout the land are interested in the results of Senator Howard's blow at polygamy. Polygamy was denounced in the initial platform of the dominant Republican„ party as one of the " twin relics of barbarism, and it behoves this party to do all that appro priate legislation can effect towards its anni,' hilation.
