Revival Of the Tariff Disc u.siop.

From the Washington rnon.
The country will bear us witness tha,
whenever there happens to be little unu.
sual pressure upon business when manu-.
featuring establishments are made to feel
that all is not profit, nor even solvency-we
are enlightened by various discussions abou,
the propriety and necessity Of remodeling
the revenue laws, so as 20 afford protection
to certain branches Of industry. We have
in the United States powerful and para.
mount agricultural interest, which is Just
now considerably depressed in consequence
OF the arrangement OF business during the
past season. We do not find the farmers
demanding Of Congress special protection,
aid, or bounty laws TO help them along.
They are sufferers but they do not expect
relief Of the government. How is such re-
lief 10 be afforded TO one branch Of industry
without charging or taxing another II
will not surely be contended that laws are
machines by which money is made. Laws
do not make money they simply effect dis
'ribution between capital and labor Now,
how is II possible TO secure a specially to
one class without taxing another TO the ex.
tent Of the benefit conferred ?
IL is perfectly natural that where capital
has been aggregated into one grand scheme.
it should find organs OF speech and make
special appeals 20 the legislature for aid
either directly or indirectly. All revenue
avs are special god 10 manufacturing
industry, and 10 that end We ere content 20
see them on the statute books and enforced
IN the public administration bat We can
not bat regard with suspicion the a,,emp,
made TO revive protective laws % no better
foundation than the constantly recurring
vicisi,udes OF trade. ADoiher year will. in
all likelihood, bring back general resump-
ton OF business. Money Is now Of very
,riaiug value is very abundant, and much Of
il unemployed. This state Of things eanno,
long exist, and TO tg,sais a change in the
Affairs Of the public would be in the last de-
gre absurd l, would be jos, as sensible
to tax the come, for is nightly exhibitions

OrIgi" or Poiysamy In the Mormon
Church.

A correspondent of the Louisville Journal
who processes TO be well informed in regard
to the practices Of Mormonisn, thus corrects
a statement made in the Journal that Brig.
ham Young was the author of the institution
of polygamy now existing in the Mormon
Church:
The institution Of polygamy, or the spir.
itnal wife system, which is the same thing
IN TACT. was first introduced into the Mormon
church in Kirkland, Ohio, whittier the Nor.
mons emigrated from western New York
about the year 1888.
Finding himself surrounded by many hun.
dreds OF devoted followers, the great mass
OF whom were ignorant and capable of be-
ing completely controlled by him, Joe Smith
attempted to impress upon their minds the
idea that parsonage resembling Jesus
Christ in character and relation to Tod,
would spring from him, and become their
prophet, after his (Smiih's) death, or de-
parturc to the realms of glory. TO accom-.
plish this object, he selected his victim from
one OF his flock-a virgin, pure and beauti.
iul her he made his spiritual wife, inducing
her to believe that she, like the Virgin Ma
~, was peculiarly favored of God above all
other women, and was selected to become
the mother OF gneat reformer and leader
OF Gods people. Ot course, Smith was to
stand in the same relation to this virgin as
the Holy Ghost did to Mary. Well. time
iiew on apace. and the highly favored virgin
was brought TO ACCOMPLISHMENT. when 10 the
promised Messiah turned out to be a g,ri :
But the cunning sducer was prepared to
face this difficulty he very deliberately,
and with the dignity becoming a prophet
informed the innocent and deluded victim O.
his lust that she had deceived herself. was
wanting in faith, and therefore was not. as
she supposed, the chosen vessel OF the Lord,
from whom q prophet should spring. At
that time the spiritual wife system was con-
fined, il | recollect Alright, to chosen few
OF the leaders OF the church. Indeed. il
was not acknowledged publicly by the Nor.
mons until some time after they settled in
their present locality.
The practices of this vile fanatical sect
well nigh ruined the morals OF the village Of
kirtland. during their stay. In the first
court that convened in tie county, after the
departure OF the Mormons for Nauvoo. there
were some fourteen or fifteen casts Of bas-
tardy IRON that township alone.

32e5,963,O25-sl79,225,l 35 more than in

In the United States the accumulation OF
coin continues In the banks, and for the com.
ing year is likely TO continue 30, since the
imports Of goods are small, general industry
still depressed, and the exports of the leading
staples-cotton, tobacco, &c.--large. The
immense sums in coin and notes that have
been Withdrawn by the banks from circua-
ton IN the last ten months, show the great
stagnation 10 business which before actively
employed all that money, but AZ soon rs the

srvoir OF money capital began TO ill, and

will flow into its proper channels, in connec-

two years be four hundred millions OF gold TO

at least one hundred million Of paper issues,

The EcHo AND THE PRIZE MoxEy.-The
Washington States, deriving its information
" from the most authentic source" gives the
following account of the disposal Of the
Echo and the distribution Of the prize mo
ney accruDg to her captors:
The United States Marshal for South
Carolina gave Lieut.. Maflit q receipt for,
300 Africans, for which Lumber &25 per
head, amounting in all to $1,000, will be
awarded as prize money to the flag officer Of
the hcme squadron, and the officers and crew
Of the Dolphin. This sum will be distribut-
I'd as follows; The flag officer receives one
twentieth, the commanding officer Of the
Dolphin, according to rank and rate. 1t is
doubted, however, whether the flag officer
Commodore Mcintosh is entitled to one
twentieth. as be was absent, on leave, from
bis station at the time Of the capture. This
question will doubtless be determined by the
Attorney General.
After the prescribed legal forms have
been gone through with, and the Echo has
been iibelel, she will be sold at public auc-
ton. Half Of the proceeds will be taken
by the Government, according to a special
provision Of law. and devoted to the naval
fund. The other half will be divided among
the officers and crew Of the Dolphin, accord
ing to the same rule by which the per eapi-
"a prize money is distributed. Eighteen Of
the Africans died after their capture BY
Lieut.. Mafit. For these the per capao OF
s25 will not be paid, but only for those who
were delivered alive into the hands Of the
L. :. Marshal.

"G.ne. Ike Tbs basless fabric Of a vision"
The Crystal Palace, the fairy structure,
has persisted a. it was born, in night =!
Yet it was better that it should have per-
shed 50 than that it should ever have been
degraded TO such base ends as have been con
templated for it at different times, such as
cattle markets, and other nuisances. The
building was supposed to be peculiarly fire.
proof The result, however, showed pecu-
liar trouble 10 this style of building-iron
frames and glass filling. As soon as one
part OF the iron becomes intensely heated, the
iron framework Of the whole building BE-
gins expanding, pulls itself out Of shape,
and Of course cracks the glass into flinders /!
We have had, now, three coDfagnt;ons Of
public buildings within short time. The
City Hall CuPols, the Staten Island Hos
pital and the Palace. The building was, as
in the case OF the Staten Island Hospital,
damage to the adjacent property, which
but for this Palace would have been built
up with first class houses before this. A
first class neighborhood cannot Of course be
built up amid place where there are liable
to be large and noisy exhibitions.
The yellow fever has about departed from
Staten Island. but the troops have not. 1t
is rather serious joke for the members Of
those Regiments who are called out for
guard duty on the Island Living out Of
doors is very uncomfortable this cool wealth
er, and besides, many members Of the CON-
panies are obliged to neglect their business
for long time, receiving no adequate COM
pensation.
Business is very dull the weasher has
been so warm that the demand for winter
clothing has not set in yet, and this makes
the dry goods houses dali, as their far off
trade has all gone home. There are some
failures in this trade lately. Others have
got through by the skin of their teeth, and
others dishonorably. One very well known
jobbing house, which has recently moved In.
to splendid store in Broadway, is said to
have made large sum by its failure, by
advising its creditors to sell its notes at SO
cents on the dollar, and then buying all that
was offered, through brokers. This is not
an Illegal course Of conduct, but as to
whether it is honorable or not, we think
there will be but one opinion. !
There is considerable religions interest
still in the city though less noise is made
about it than was the case last spring. The
union prayer meetings are kept up, and
there have been recently some very interest.
ing cases Of conversion among hardened
criminals, through the influence of these
meetings. The feeling seems now to keep
up these meetings permanently-to make
them New York institution.
The book trade drags, and there is little
worth noticing on the taps. The opera
companies, English and Italian, are doing
well. -
