How to Subdue tho NEOrmonS.

Elder Orson Hyde, reformed Mormon
who is lec;uring on that form Of vice, is
thus reported by the States as to his speech
in Washington few days ago:
But they are traitors now and the
practical question, is, how they may be
subdued? They are military people,
Of their 60, geo people, they number 8, 600
soldiers. They are all trained to arms and
Injured to active service They have man.
ufactories Of arms of all kinds, of balls,
bombs, and gunpowder, producing all the
materials necessary for these manufactures.
And they are next spring to receive from
Europe full Is, 600 of their recent prose-
lytes. So perfect are there business ar
rangements that the whole cost of Transport
ting each person from Liverpool or London
to Salt Lake City is but $40.
They have ceased to prose)yte in the
United States, having recalled their mis-
sionaries and discontinued their papers but
they urge the work with great yigor in
Europe.
MIR. Hyde presented three plans for sub

and will be until an appointed successor
shall arrive, and who will not let that sue
cessor arrive, will cease to have the color Of
authority.
ID. Proclaim martial law over the Ter
ritory, and send out bold, energetic, and
discreet officer, with an adequate number
of men, and require him to cut off ali com
munication between the Mormons and the
rest of the world-of course preventing ae-
ccssions to their numbers by immigration

they can--to the South Sea islands, or any
where else. Their practices are savage
and Lead them to savage mole Of life.
They have boosted that they can hold out
against siege of three years but Mr..
Hyde demonstrated, from their history du-
ring the past few years, that this canpot be
true-that their resources are very slen-
der.
Were they to take to tie mountains, they
would suffer much; yet they could infiot

This he forcibly inculcated. by citing the
example of the Swiss male and female war;
riors, who harrassed the grand army of Ma
poleon from the impregnable fortresses of
their mountain gorges. The Hills of Utah
would prove second Switzerland, for the
Mormon men and women were as heroic,
and impelled by an enthusiasm as ardent,
religious infatuation as complete.

The Shadous ofan AmfM Hinder
The following eloquent extract is taken
from discourse lately delivered by Rev.
e. IL. Chaplin, to his congregation in New
York city
ut is not the ruined merchant, merely
it is not the spectacle of deprecated
property and lost credit, and the manifold
discomforts of usual bankruptcy must
make us shudder and grow sad. Around
the gloomy shadow there is still darker
rim. Away down below the platform of f.
naneial transactions there looms sea of IA
cos-these faces of workngnen and work
ingwomen, looking up among the stopped
machinery of the factories, and the silence
of ship yards, and all the desolations of
suspended labor; looking up to the shad-
ows of an awful winter overcasting them. -
Men and brethren. what shall we do for
those whose hard-earned dollars are not
merely honor and credit but bread and
blood and life itself What shall we do for
the poorest of babes, that must soon hang
upon the wilted breasts Of famine, and for
the women for whom we must say some
thing more than "God help them p All,
yes, financial crisis is matter of tears
and shuddering as well as for arithmetic
and rumor"

The K.n.es Constitufion.

The delegates elected in Kansas to frame q
constitution for the future State, had, at last
accounts, nearly completed their labOrs. The
question Of adopting or rejecting slavery
clause was to be submitted to the people on the
goth of December. In voting for or against the
slavery clause, however, it was necessary, by
the terms In which it was submitted, to vote in
favor Of the Constitution ITSELF Every white
male citizen of the territory, over twenty-One
years Of age, is allowed to vote. 1t would per-
haps, have been better had the Convention sub
mitted the Constitution to direct vote of the
people, but as the principal question upon which
the citizens of the territory differ in opinion is
submitted, 1t is not probable that any serious
objection will be made in Congress to the ad
mission of Kansas as State. Should 1t be evil
dent, however, that gross frauds had been per-
petrated upon the ballot box, similar to that re-
Gently attempted in McGee and johnson coun-
ties, Congress will be justified in referring the
matter back to the people of the Territory. The
election for State officers, members of the Leg
islature, and member of Congress, is to be held
on the first Monday in January, and the Presi-
dent Of the Convention is required to convene
the Legislature within thirty days after the
State is admitted by Congress. Provision is
made for amending the Constitution, "after the
year 1s64;' but as nothing is said in regard to
amending the instrument previous to 1864, of
course the people will have the right to amend
1t in any manner they may deem proper.
During the present session of Congress there
is every reason to believe that three States

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, DEC. %, 1857.
Collection OF Taxes.

A writer in the last number Of the San Juan
Star, over the signature Of Taxpayer" makes
the inquiry of the County Collector Of taxes,
"why it is that he refuses to receive the taxes
on the undivided half Of property that has been
assessed by the County AssessorW Had "Tax-
payer'' examined the revenue Law passed last
winter, he would doubtless have discovered that
the Collector had no right TO receive a portion
of the taxes in the cases referred to. Where
property is assessed to two or more men, joint
ly, they are each and all equally liable for the
tax, which the whole property is holden the
same as though 1t belonged to one man. On
the contrary, had each mans interest in the
property been separately assessed, then one
partner could have paid his own tax and his in
terest in the property would not be holden for
the tax on the other interests. The writer says
there are several instances in this county where
property which has been assessed Is owned by
two individuals; that one wishes to pay the tax
on his portion, but the Collector refuses to re-
ceive it unless he pays the tax Of his associate
owner also. In all such cases it will be found
that the property is assessed to the parties
jointly, and had the Collector received the
amount Of tax due from one Of the partners, the
property would still be holden for the balance
due. The fault Is with the parties themselves,
as each might have had his own interest assess
ed to himself separately.

LOCAL INTELLIGENcE.

SCHOOL ExuBTIoN.-T largest audience
that we remember ever having seen within the
walls OF the Theater, assembled last Friday
evening to witness the exhibition by the pupils
of Mr.. Stratton's school, The dress circle was
crowded, and the seats being mostly occupied
by ladies, a majority of the gentlemen were
compelled to stand up during the evening. We
venture to say that no entertainment given in
the place ever excited more interest on the part
of our citizens. The scholars, without an ex-
ception, acquitted themselves handsomely and
the manner in which the various exercises in
reading, declamations, dialogues, DC. we're con-
Quoted, reflected great credit upon themselves
and teacher. The farce of the "Quack Doctor"
went off in fine style, and was performed in
manner that would have done credit to regu-
lar theatrical company. Testimonials, in the
shape of quarters, halves, &c, were showered
upon the stage, for tho benefit of number of
the smaller pupils.

ALEXIS ORLNsKT, the thief who escaped from

weeks ago, was re-arrested last Friday evening.
1t seems he had been wondering about among

money, he went boldly into q pawnbroker's

pawn aColts pistol for five dollars. The pawn
