In relation 90 the contested election case of
the Senators from Indiana, and the recent
action of the Legislature of Indiana, the Ma
tional IotalHgeucer says:--"As, by the Con
stituton Of the United States, each House OF
Congress is made ",he judge Of the elections,
returns and qualifications Of It's own mem
bers," i: must be obvious to ell that the de-
cison to which the Senate came 10 the prem
ises must be held and considered final ord
conclusive. Whatever question mag te still
raised in the minds Ct any with regard t. The
merits of that decision, there can lie no cues
ton as to the fact that it was t!'e sole and Ye-
cuiiar prerOgatve Of the Sonate to settle the
matter in dispute"

By our latest advices from South America
we learn that war had beon declared by Peru
against the contiguous State Of Ecuador, and
that tue Peruvian feet had proceeded TO
blockade the mouth of the river GnHyaquii.
The reasons which have induced Peru to take
this extreme step are stated to be the refusal
of Ecuador to submit to certain demauGs
made by the first mentioned Power. These
are the expulsion Of the political refugees "ho
have been driven ont of Peru oy the present
government; the recognition of the night OF

The Tax On 0ficials-Hov the Ysrty Is
Kept Up.

The following article is from the Wash
ington Union. Tie abo minable and ire
parable infamy that. could give. utterance td
such sentiments as are unblushingiy anhouS-
ced in it, has no parallel in the annals {
political corrup.ion:
We see it reported. We. do no. cars upon
what authority, that tax is levied upon the
persons employed in the government, ser-
vice, and the payment thereof exacted. We
are quite ignorant Of The su;horiy upon
whica this payment is demanded or the pur-
poses to which it is applied when received.
We trust, however, that whatever may BE-
thus collected may be wisely and economic
ally applied to advance the interests Of lie
democratic party in lis grea: struggle with
The opposition. It is said that from one.
quarter TO one-half Of one per cent. on the
salaries Of officials Is thus exaosed Now
without knowing anything of the alleged
tax, and with no belief in is existence, c.
general thing, We have just this to say on
the subject. If there is person in the pub
lie service who does not voluntarily con-
tribute the amount, at least, Of two dollars
and half year on each thousand dollas of
his salary 10 support the cause Of the De-
mocracy, he should be dismissed at once,
and his place filled by Ons who is patriot
ic and liberal enough TO double the contriss
button. We believe the cause to Justify its
support, and those who refuse to AID in ,ha.
patriotic work should be the last TO complain
if they are deprived of the special favors Of
those in power. We would recomend ne
system of espionage, no mean efforts to hunt
out the miserable scavengs who devote four
or FIVE hours Of iLdSlence at their desks and
the balance Of their time TO assaults upon
the Democracy; but that forbsarance which
keeps them in office moment after their
treachery is known is sadly misplaced. 1t
is aro:orisu sfaci tha. more III n half Il Q p,t-
ronage OF this government is bestowed up
on such unworthy men. We hold it to be
certain tina! traitor in politics only needs al.
opportunity to betray his trust and sacri-
fee the interests and character of the Gov.
ernmsnt. Political immortality and person.
al morality are impossible elements in the
same individual.

Brigham YOung's Wives, as seen by c
Gentle.

A letter from Salt Lake to New York,
furnishes The following description of the
spiritual wives Of Brigham Young. Il
says:
brigham is man cf some TASTE, and his
spirituals are generally fine-ooking women,
some Of them, indeed, quite pretty, snd all
OF them SO far as | could Judge, intelligent.
Is ppose saw in the shantr quarters
some thirty women, but whether they were
all of them wives Of the Propeet or whether
these constituted his entire hous ehold, of
course am not informed. The general
impression here seems 10 be that he has
nearly or quite fifty wives. He only claims
to have forty children living, having he'd
AZ altogether. This, doubtless, is the high
figure he can claim, as the Saints" con-
slider large number of children subject
of pride and boast. These wives are al
their owa servants and the nurses Of their
own children. To see them sitting under
the overhanging caves of the shan,ies just
at dusk, with their numerous children
hanging around them. all crying, ehsrtering
or teasing at once, was certainly suggestive
Of a fonndlmg hospital.
was curious TO know whether these
women were happy in the strange life they
led, and glance at their faces impressed
me with the conviction that theirs was the
happiness Of stoIid listlessness, an existence
in which all the higher and holier senii-
ments of refinement and affection had been
sacrificed upon the altar Of fanaticism.-
They seem 10 me TO be willing,
perhaps, and resigned-but nevertheless
unhappy victims of self-inficted tortures,
by which they hoped 10 merit sanity re-
ward. To few Of them, perhaps, these
remarks would not apply. Some Of The
younger females appeared thoushtless or.
reckless, but The elder, who were educated
IN circles where women were queens rath-
er than vassai slaves, wore their chains
evidently with inward murmuring.

Compromise. Or late, Gen. Pitcher has
been an active member of the American
party. The Louisville Journal says:
He was devoted husband, a fond father
and trne friend. In every capacity Of
his life he made himself useful member
To society, and the community generally
have sustained great loss in his dearh. -
His disease. that Of drop>y OF Tie chest,
caused him 10 suffer great agony of body,
but he died calmly. sereneiy, happily. His
last utterances were Of his abiding conf.
dence in God, and delightful, ecsiatic Wis
ions OF the future.
