81, and the House went into a Com
mittee of the Whole on the subject,
and made some amendments to the
bill as it was reported. In the SEN
ate, Mr.. Wilson, the Chairman of the
Military Committee, introduced a
series of resolutions providing for the
equalization of bounties to soldiers
in the late war Its main feature is
the providing for bounty of eight
and one.third dollars per month to
be paid to every soldier who has
been honorably discharged, for each
month of actual service. The bill
to provide for an annual inspection
toi Indian affairs was called up.

The Vedette, published at Salt
Lake City, is waging an unceasing
warerare against the Mormons. 1t
seems confident of success. 1t says:
There has been time, extending
through a period Of eighteen years,
during which the will of one man was
well nigh supreme in Utah. That
time is past, never to return. The
reign Of the Autocrat Of Polygomy
is over. The star Of his destiny is
declining, and as its disc sinks below
the horizon, the dawn Of better era
Is tecn breaking in the east-a dawn
which will usher in brighter future
for Deseret than anything Of which
her earlier career gave promise
The struggle for supremacy is not
yet over, indeed, but the course of
coming events, now forcshadowed
with sufficient distinctness, is clearly
defined, Tor us to calculate the event
with tolerablc certainty.
In the same number it notices an
institution--the Sacred Guard--the
existence of which is probably not
known to most of our readers. We
quote:
The citizens who are early risers
may almost any morning see persons
IN the form of men--but with few ol
manhood's proud attributes and lofty
sentiments, or they could not bring
themselves to submit to the desc
cration--skulking home, from ths
menial and degrading service Of
guarding the harem Of the chief de-
lgrader OF woman In Utah, while the
grand Bashaw slumbers Ia that un
hallowed place where crushed hearts
are imprisoned, ard woman's font

lowing instance as proof that,
though Mormonism fills the nursery,
It does not proportionally increase
the resources Of the pocket:
A Mormon at Coalville, Summit

two "babbies" born to him the other

From the Hamilton Times, March Is.
AT the meeting of yesterday after
noon, the feeling in favor of tho i'm

well be asked il the danger is not as
imminent IN Canada as in Ireland.
Is it not indeed, much more so? To
make objections about inf ingin9 the

let the Government be armed with
the power of dealing with them in the

folly. We shall be laughed at for
our simplicity by the miscreants who
will take advantage of the same, il
we allow them, for want of our adopt
ing every precaution, to have the op-
portunity of doing damage. The
damage that few hundred ruiflans,
scattered over the province, might
do, without there being any actual
earned invasion" by large body OF
men together, is incalculable. If the
alien act is sufficient, good and well,
but we fear it is not. Those who
object to the suggestion should be
asked to demonstrate that the suspen-
sion of the act is not as much revived

The Fenian excitement seems to
have subsidized to considerable ex.
tent, not only in this country, but
also in Canada, England and ireland.
The Canadians were apprehensive
that Canada was the first point to be
attacked by the Fcnions, nnd they
expected that the invading foe would
be upon them on st. Patrick's Day.
The day passed without any foe ap-
pcaring, aud that frightened people
now rest without much fear. A little
frightening will do them good, and
learn them lesson. It will be re.
membercd that many Of that people
we're, during the rebellion, staunch
friends of the South--they did not
object to the organization of rebel
raids, the right hand Of fellowship
was extended to rebel incendiarics
and even the courts winked at rebel
robberies. But when the Fenians
talked Of raiding on Canada, the
people saw that IL was not just the
right thing to uphold such doings,
and they were frantic in their fear.
They called upon the Government,
the people and every one to stop the
Fenians; and those who had been
the llrmest friends of the South, were
the loudest in their cry for help from
our Government.
1t is more than probable that the
Fenian bubble is about to burst.
We have no doubt of the honesty
and determination of The rank and
file of the Fenians in the idea of res
cuing the Emerald Isle from oppres-
sion. So far rs it goes that is we'll
enough. OF this class as fine an ar
my of devoted, earnest soldiers as
the world ever saw might be raised.
But of what avail is that, as there is
no way Of putting them where they
would be of any use. The Govern
ment, if it were so disposed, canno,
look idly upon the fitting out of O
large army to invade country with
which we are at peace. 1t might,
perhaps, under some circumstances,
be done secretly, but rs the matter
now stands, England is too well post
ed to allow the possibility. The fact
is, the Fenians leaders have been too
windy in their movements, and have
shown too great desire to handle
money, have not worked together
as closely as they should, and gener-
ally have fell short of the standard
of great leaders. All these things
work to their disadvantage, and must
result disastrously to the cause in
which every true Irishman's heart is
bound. 1t is to be feared that the
upshot of the whole matter will be
to line the pockets of the Fenian
leaders with a liberal supply OF
greenbacks.
Ireland should he rescued, but can
it be done by the proposed means I

SPRING ELECTIONS.

What work is done towards rous-
ing anil getting the Union men at
work for the Spring election must be
done soon, for the time Is short.
AS far as we can learn, but few of
the townships have moved in the mat
ter--they seem to thin kthey are on
the right side, and are willing to
trust the balance to Providence.
Not meaning any irreverence, we
would suggest that Providence does
not vote, neither does He help along
a good cause, if those who profess
to have it in hand are Indifferent to
its success.

Some of the townships have called,

with increased Union majorities, in
the face of the assertion by the Cop.
perheads that the people had become
dissatisfied and would vote for the
Copperhead ticket. The people put
veto on this assertion, just as they
will in Ohio. Hancock county will
