commenced against the importers of three
cases of magnificent embroidered goods which
came over in the last trip Of tho steamship
America. They were seized By the reve-
nue. officers Of Boston for violation of the

Their appraised value is $l,473, while they
were invoioed as worth 1856.
The Eaturalized Voters Question The
Circuit Court for the District of Columbia,
Judges Morsell and Dunlap presiding, this
morning decided that persons who have re-
sided in this corporation for year, and have
been naturalised since December last, haze
the right to vote in the election TO- day; but
that the lists having passed out of the hands
Of the corporation Register into those Of the
judges Of the election at the several voting
places, who are themselves quasi judicial ofi-
Gers, they the Circuit CourD have not power
to issue tho mandamus to compel the election
boards to accord to such citizens their rights.
Such citizens should, by all means, Offer their
votes, and if refused they have a remedy in
suits at law against those depriving them
Of what the Circuit Court decides to be their
rights. Besides, if they offer them, they must
be counted by the revision power in deciding
the general result.
The Know Nothing judges are even refusing
the votes Of citizens naturalized on the 9Th Of
juno, 1854, on the ground that they have not
been citizens for one year. The decision
above mentioned shows that they are depriving
such citizens of their rights, and they will of
course be sued by all such persons tomorrow.
II the illegal votes they are receiving on their
own side, and the legal votes they arc reject
ing on ours, vary the result in any case, their
illegal action will of course be appealed from,
and set aside by the Circuit Court

Der upon departing for India said in his farewell
sermon-"Lifo bears us on like the stream of a
mighty river. Our boat at first glidcs down the
narrow channel-through the playful murmuring
of the little brook, and the winding of its grassy
borders. The trees shed their young blossoms
over our young heads, the flowers of the brink
seem to offer themselves to our young hands; we
are happy in hope, and we grasp eagerly at the
beauties around US, but the stream hurries on, and
still our hands are empty. Our course in man.
hood is along wider and deeper food, amid OBJ
jects moro striking and magnificent. We are an
mated by the moving picture of enjoyment and
industry passing us we are excited by some short
lived disappointment The stream bears us OF,
and our joys and our griefs alike left behind
US. We may be ship-wrecked, but we cannot be
delayed; whether rough or smooth the river hast
ems towards its homs till the of the ocean is in
our ears, and the tossing of the waves is beneath

the foods are lifted up around Ia, and we take
leave of earth and its inhabitants, until of our

Condition of Mormon Women.

An officer belonging to Col. Steptoe's command,
now stationed at Salt Lake City, in a letter to
the Providence Journal, thus speaks of the con-
d;tion Of the Mormon women =" With word
abou, their melancholy condition, will bring a
long letter to a close. AS general thing, wo-
man here, having satisfied what we call the
..lust,'' but what the Mormons call ''the holy
desres' of some righteous elders, is left to shift
for herself: not the least support does she re-
ccive from him to whom she has been in many
cases, forced to prostitute herself. Their condi-
ton is infinitely worse than that of the Slaves
Of the South. Che Of the wives of ''the chief of
the twelve Aposiles,'' washes for board
ing house here to support herself. Two
wives Of Parlcy p. Pratt, another apostle,
have repeatedly begged for work. Women
he.e have told me that their pretended hus-
bands had not visited them for months and years.
One of the apostles asked family of three
girls to marry him, and to get them he would
take the old mother. They refused and he has
since maligned them in every way.
We received many requests for assistance to
leave, from women in every position. Their case
is peculiarly hard, saparated by hundreds Of miles
of plain and desert from the outside world,
brought here by the false inducement, degraded
and oppressed, with no hope Of succor-thcy are
in great very great numbers, entirely d:satected.
They abhor the very thought of polygamy, the
very name of MOrmOnism. This is the honest,
simple truth.''

SIZE OF LoNDoN.-London extends over an area
OF 5000 acres or l22 square miles, and tho
number of its inhabitants rapidly increasing. was
,239 on the day of the last census. 4 con.
ccption of this vast mass of people may be form
ed by the fact that, if the metropolis were sur
rounded by wall having a north gate, south
gate, an east gate, and west gate, and zach of
the four gates was of sufficient width to allow u
column of persons to pass out freely four abreast
and peremptory necessity required an mmedi-
ate evacuation of the city, it could not be accom-
plished under four and-twenty hours, by the cx-
piraton of which time, the head of the four COL
umns would have advanced to no less a distance
than seventy five miles from their respective gates
all the people being in close file, four deep.
