THE Mormon FEUD-Speculatng upon the
recent movement in Illinois, under the leadership
of Joe Smith, jr., the St. Louis Republican says:
awe are assured that it is seconded not only by
the Mornlons in Illinois, but in this State, and if
only asserted with spirit the Salt Lake hierarchy
Can be crushed out, and the pretentious individual
! 'sprophet, seer, and revelator" who now so COM
fortably sits enthroned there. and his lecherous
advisers, can be made to take the city creek CANON
and hide in the mountains that surround the So
called Zion. We feel assured that the mass of
the people gravitate to the regular succession,
which is to be found in the person of Smith
They swarm to him as the representative of re-
ligious principle, and would not hesitate to throw
off their shackles whenever the opportunity is
afforded. We repeat then, that this movement,
if properly directed, discardine it does the OBJ
noxious and disgusting features and practices of the
Salt Lake tribe, will be more powerful for good
and for reform than all the enactments of the Ma
tional Legislature which, after all, if precedent
is worth any thing would prove only so much
waste paper: unless crammed down tratorous
throats with the bayonet; thing certainly not
likely to occur until very great change comes
over public men"

EXCESSIVE LABoR.-In the testimony taken in
the matter of limiting the hours of labor Of women
and children in bleaching and dyeing works in
New York, one child said that at times, when they
were filling heavy orders, he had not been in bed
more than sixteen or eighteen hours week. An
other, IL years of age, stated that he began work
at II o'clock on Sunday night, and worked until
o'clock Monday night, then started again on
Tuesday morning, and worked till II o'clock at
night, and did this for two or three months with
out stopping. The foreman stated that the ther-
mometer in the rooms often stood at l30 degrees,
and in this atmosphere the boys and girls often
worked sixteen, seventeen and eighteen hours per
day. A foreman of another establishment stated
that for three days of the week. during the sum-
mer, the girls work twenty hours per day, and
that their ages average from ten to eighteen years
The bill to limit the hours of work passed with a
large majority-N Cour. and Eng.

The ASSAULTS UPON THE PRESIDENT.-1hc
Constitution contains the Hon Miles Taylors mi
norty report upon the recent protest of the Presi-
dent. 1t is an able and conclusive document. lie
shows that were there good reasons for believing
that the President had been guilty of using money,
patronage, other improper means to influence
the action Of Congress, it was the duty of that
body to have made the charges formally and insti-
tuted the proceedings for his removal from office.
On the contrary, they sought to damage his char
acter by parfe Investigations, in which he had
no opportunity to defend himself This undign-
fed, ultrapartizan course is properly condemned
and exposed, and the disappointed Office seekers
and political ''strikers" will perhaps find them
selves in receipt of the Indignation of every honest
This assault upon Mr. Buchanan dictated by
the most unscrupulous party tactics. Nothing but
the most desperate necessities Of party would in
duce any one who values the American name to
degrade The Office of President If the Chief
Magistrate of this great confederacy ever becomes
unfaithfu to his high office-if he ever disgraces
the chair Of Washington and Jefferson with brbe-
ry and corruption-let him be degraded from his
high office amid the general execrations and con-
tempt Of the entire American people, without re-
gard to party; but let no secret star chamber in
vestigation-let no "smelling committee" of nous
ing politicians, bounded on by mercenary pol
troons, be allowed to try to afix by implication
what they cannot do directly, and thus degrade in
the minds Of the American people the highest and
most exalted official in the civilized world.-N

sezs~ Hear what the merry SAKE says of u model
husband:

husband:
| saw model husband in dream,
Where things not exactly as they seem;
A moral man, to skeptcs be it known;
The wife he loved and cherished was-his own;
And for the test saw the husband wait
With horse and chaise five minutes at the gate
While Jane put on her things; nor spoke one sour
Or bitter word though waiting half an hour
For dinner; and like patience on throne,
He didn't swear to find button gone.

washington National Monument
Proposed Movement on 22d.

WASHINGTON, Feb l8th.-On the 22nd of
February it is proposed that there shall be
an effort made throughout the United States
to raise sufficient funds to carry on the work
upon the Washington National Monument
during the coming year. Citizens in every
part of the Country can contribute through
the Postmaster of their respective towns.@r
About one thousand postmasters have boxes
for the purpose placed in their offices, and
have raised within the past four months
more than ~, 900. There are nearly rs ,0uU-
postm4sters who have not been heard from 4
and it IS to be hoped that they will cooper
ate with the others. Ii they will conselt
to do SO, and il the returns only average
Sl.5o per year, or H. u cents per month, the
work can be kept in progress. Every slight
effort made in each place throughout the
Country would ensure the completion of the
Monument in a few years. Editors of news
papers are desired to call attention TO this
patriotic enterprise.
