There is but little advantage in talking
of what might have been done, yet when
such dangers threaten, and such mighty
consequences may flow from the neglect
of the last Congress to provide for this
election, we cannot help remembering
how readily they could have disposed of
this whole troublesome question, and
that too. how happy for the country, nor
can we forget the heavy responsibility
they have assumed in leaving it thus un-
settled. It's impossible, at present, TO
mark out the best conrse for the President
or the new Congress to take npon the
subject, for that can only be determined
when the future reveals what is to happen
in the coming months. We trust it will
be the wisest and best for the interests OF
the Union.

OuTRAGEs COMMITTED BY The Nor.
MoNs-The Washington correspondent
of the New York Times communicates
some interesting news from Salt Lake

Of alleged ou'rages perpetrated by Nor
mons against those whom they look upon
as unlriendly to them:
Numbers of houses had been torn down,
and their occupants thus turned Out in the
open air 10 suffer the rigors of the past

was one woman who was entirely without
a protector, and with three little children,
one of them nursing infant. The houses
occupied by Judge Stiles and Thomas s.
Williams we're also destroyed by incen.
diarism. Mr.. Stiles is the only federal
Judge remaining in the Territory, and Mr..
Williams, lawyer, who had incurred the
displeasure of the heads of The Mormon
church by bis manly independence.
There have been threats of late to mur-
der the surveyor general, Judge Stile-
and the United States officers remaining
in the territory, and their position hal be.

this article.
In 1896, Gen. Harrison was a candi-
date for President, and although his vote
was not heavy one, the people from
that time to 1910 considered him as their
candidate. The result we all know.
| have before me series of resolutions,
adopted at Columbus III March, 1899,
signed by Col. Dayid Chambers, as
Chairman, and T. Hughes, as Secretary,
which are, l think, admirably adapted to
the present occasion. They recommend
to every editor opposed to the then ad-
ministration, to place and keep the name
of Gen. Harrison at the head of his paper,
as the candidate for President in 1910,
and the appointment of State, distric,
and county central committees; and fur
ther, that every Wing be committee Of
one to do all in his power to promote his
election. Had that measure been earlier
adopted, its effects would have been still
greater than they were.
Every State and local election, from
now 10 November, A. D. 1860, should
exhibit our strength, and prove to the
advocates of the new doctrines of slavery
that the American people are aroused, and
determined to vindicate their institutions
and their ancestors, from the foul stigma
attempted to be cast upon them by these
modern perversions. ClVITAS.'

The Last Mystery Excitement in New
JERSEY.

The N. Y. Herald has long chapter
on the sudden and mysterious disappear
ance of young lawyer of New York,
from what is known as the " English
neighborhood," near Fort Lee, on the
banks of the Hudson, in Bergen CO., N.
Jersey. At this place his parents and
friends reside, and are among the oldest
and wealthiest residents. The story runs ::
" about year and half ago, the de-
ceased who was then practising law at
the New York Bar, made his appearance
at the residence Of his mother in the En-
gish neighborhood, accompanied by a
young lady about twenty five years of age,
to whom it was reported he was engaged
to be married The mother welcomed
her future daughter-in-law warmly, and
from that hour she looked upon her as
one Of the family. The lady took up her
permanent residence there, while her in
tended returned to New York for the pur-
pose of pursuing the practice Of his pro-
fession. The lovers met frequently f; and
always manifested devoted attachment
for each other. The lady was the object
Of much attention and sympathy, mas
much as her history was replele with
scenes of intense interest and events Of
the most remarkable chararter.
She represented herself as an heiress
delrauded Of her birthright and cruelty
prosecuted by some of her relatives, who
even went so far as to. menace her life
that she had been swindled out of large
amount Of property in New Orleans, and
that her relatives were endeavoring to rob
her of the last (arthing, when she acciden.
tally became acquainted with her intend.
ed, who was SO struck with her personal
history and appearance that he offered
her his professional services, and promis.
ed to do all in his power towards putting
her in possession Of her lawful rights -
The offer was accepted, and, as she
