II viii be ohserved that Hyde, in the above
extracts, comedies that the Mormons prac-
tised polygamy in Nauvoo, stoutly Is they
denied 1t at the time. The reader will also
be struck with the complacent prediction OF
the Elder that by and by the Mormons will
have all the women and other people none

Wesuppose there can be no longer any
doubt of the purely bestial character of Nor
monism. The pretence go streauously urged
by its votaries, that it establishes purity, is
an evident absurdity, for, if It does SO, it is
by legalizing profigacy But the conclu-
sion Of Hyde's lecture Shove plainly enough
that plurality Of wives has no effect in pro-
noting purity among the Mormons.

The devils that drove the herd of swine
into the sea must have gone into these Nor
mons. We trust Col. Steptoe viii exercise
them. We earnestly hope he will accept the
appointment of Governor of Utah. Then let
the Government reinforce him strongly, and,
if Gov. Young will be only kind enough to
resist Steptoe, this unclean nest will be tho
roughly broken up. Elder Hyde seems to
anticipate such a result, for he says, "They
may break US up and rout us from one place
to another" &c. So may it be.
Capt B. F. CHILDREY, who recently re-
signed the Office of Captain of the train on
the South Side Railroad, had, by his obliging
and attentive manners, become highly popu

WAS certainly very efficient and faithful
officer, deserves well wherever he goes
We hope he will find ready and profitable
employment in Virginia. SO competent as
he is in such relation. we hope he may be
placed in situation not less public than that

vellers to meet with considerate and obliging
as well rs competent men, as officers of pub
