The Springfield Republican, usually the most
" conservative" paper in Massachusetts except
the Boston Courier, now says of the President
- There are some things which, thank God, are
impossible, and is to make the moral sense
of the loyal north tolerate this man any longer.
Doubtless he is to be President three years more
but unless he is reduced to submission by the
overpowering voice and vote of the people, spea-
king through Congress, he is to be a Coppcrhead

MORMON ExposUREs-THE HIERARCHY TorrER-
ING.-Late exposures of crime and rascality in
Utah, for which the country is indebted to that
uncompromising enemy of the Latter Day Saints,
the Tedette, are beginning to exercise their effect
in promoting the downfall of the institution of
polygamy as naturalization American soil. The
day of dishonest and lecherous " Saints p" and
" Destroying Angels " is clearly numbered
Yet to eradicate this hideous disease from the
social system may prove no easy matter, and may
task all the strength of the Government, so far
has the influence of Joseph Smiths pernicious
teachings extended. The " flock OF which
Brigham Young is the leader at the Great Salt
Lake is made up of foreigners, but we learn by
the Cincinnati Volksblau that there is another
Mormon Society or community in Illinois and the
neighborng States, established by the son of the
late prophet" Joseph Smith, which numbers
ten thousand souls, nearly all of them Ameri-
cans. The chief of the Illinois Mormons is as
much in favor of monogamy as the Salt Lake
Saints are of polygamy and looks upon the
q Golden Book only as a supplement OF the
Bible, while the Utah Mormons worship it as the
Bible itself. While the latter style themselves
" Latter Day Saints, ~ the former are contented
with the title of Mormons, and are at the same
time as remarkable for their comparative intelli-
gence as those in Utah noted for their eyre

the Westerly press, and, according to the Osh-

slowly but surely declining. knowledge and
civilization are advancing in Utah.
While on this theme we may record some
strange and even vile proceedings on the part OF
" Saint Brigham" which if true render him a.

And this is but one instance of guilt out of hund-

which Brigham Young got his start-by using
his Office of Trustee in Trust to defraud the Nor

Wednesday b writes to him to recall the pair.

pair?
Mr.. Morrill, very properly did not vote OF FIRST.
His sense OF pTopriety told him not to. lie did
so upon the egeing of Mr.. Sumner, for very
great party purpose. II the point was clear,
why any hesitation on his partY Philip, sober,
would not vote; Philip, not sober, did. Now,
let us examine the Stockton vote. Five Sena-
tors hold, we viii say their seats upon the same
point. If one of them from one State votes
another of them from another State in, does he
not Judge his own case just as much as Senator
Stockton? OF course. Then the whole distinc-
tion is quibble. A Senator duly admitted and
before the Senate, unless we propose to inject a
reservation into the Constitution, If that can
be done whenever party reasons suggest, let
US know 1t, and we can apply the rule hereafter.
That motive of delicacyb which would restrain
any man from deciding anything in his own
favor, would naturally restrain his vote; bat if
his opponents discard delcacy, is be held 10 il ?

The United States Naval Station in the
West Indies.

ST. Thomas, the new naval station of the
United States Navy in the West Indies, Is one of
the Virgin group OF islands, belonging to Den
mark. 1t is thirty-eieht miles east of Porto
Rico, in latitude (east of Fort Christian) eigh-
teen degrees twenty minutes, and twenty-four
seconds north; longitude, siXty-tour degrees,
tiity.fve minutes, and forty-6Ve seconds west.
Its greatest length from west to east is seven
teen miles, and is about four and half miles in
BREADTH and has total area of forty-fve square
miles. 1t has a rugged and elevated surface,
which attains its greatest height towards the
centre, and descends gradually, but ottener alb
ruptly, to the shore.
II was once well wooded, out the cutting
down of the trees has laid it open to the full
force OF the SUMS rays, and it now suffers much
from deficiency of water. The soil being sandy
it remains uncultivated. The area under crop
is only about twenty-five hundred acres, OF
which nearly onehalf is planted with sugar.
cane. The whole island enjoys the privileges of
a free harbor, and the trade is very extensive,
ST. Thomas being depot of goods for many of
the neighboring islands. 1t has its central To-
cality, Charlotte Amalie, which is annually
visited by about three thousand vessels from
Europe, North and South America, and also
from the other West India islands. In Europe
the trade is chiefly with London, Liverpool,
Glasgow, Havre, Bordeaux, Marsellles, Genoa,
Altoona, Hamburg, Bremen, and Amsterdam. st.
Thomas is the principal station of the British
West India mail steamers from Southampton,
for which place large steam packet leaves every
fortnight. The population OF st. Thomas is esti-
mated at thirteen thousand.

Banks and Taxes.
From the Tribune.

from Tie JTIOUfe.
1t has been conclusivelY settled, by decision
of the Supreme Court, that the shares of any
and every stockholder in any national bank
are subject to State and local taxation unaE
feced by the fact that part or all the capital of
said bank is invested in national obligations.
Those obligations are not locally taxable as
SUCH but their use as bank capital as. In this
decision the Supreme Court has affirmed, we
beliae, decision of the Court of Appeals OF our
State.
We reiterate our record of this important
decision for the guidance of assessors and tax
payers Hitherto, if we mistake not, owners OF
shares of national banks have felt justified in
emitting from their return OF property subject
to taxation so much Of their capital invested in
national banks. Thus, III bank, having a
capital of $780, 600, had 100000 invested In
those securities, each stockholder felt warranted
in returning TO the assessors but onethird of the
amount of his stock. This is justihable no

Mr.. COVOde.
From The DaiIn Neaos.

From the Daily Nea1S.
Mr.. Covode, in his report upon the condition
OF affairs in the Southwest stated that he had
observed in Louisiana willingness on the
part of the Rebels, to take any terms from the
hands of the conquerors, until Governor Wells
came back from his interview with the Presi-
dent, and reported that he had found him a
friend Of the South. Thereupon, it seems, the
Rebels Immediately fell from grace, aud the
Tribune wonders how long ii will take to recon
struct the country in this style. Ordinarily
people are more easily conciliated by kindness
than by harshness; 1t is the genial influence OF
the sun, and not the fierce attack of the cutting
blast, or the arrowy sleet that causes the defen-
Bive cloak TO be discarded
But the Tribune thinks otherwise, and affects
to believe that If the President had declared
himself the determined enemy of the South, he
would have had more influence there, and would
more readily have restored confidence and re-
established harmony. Strange reasoning this,
| if the Tribune is really in earnest Unless,
| indeed, the Tribune believe that the Southern
| people have attained to that degree of Christian
| perfection that they will be glad of the oppor
tunity OF showing how they can love those who
| hate them, bless those who persecute, and pray
for those who despitefully use them,
| 1t would be well for the Tribune, and all those
| who seek TO make Poland OF the South, to re
| member that Poland has never been anything
| but thorn in the flesh of the Government tina
| destroyed her national existence.

General Lees Testimony Before the Recon.
stTuctiOn COMMITTEES


From the Herald.
We published yesterday the testimony of the
late Rebel General Lee before the Reconstruct
tion Committee of Congress. We have also been
supplied with the evidence, complete from the
record, but for which we have no room at pre-
sent, of John B. Baldwin and John F. Lewis,
members of the Virginia Secession Convention,
and OF the famous John Minor Bolts testimony,
which in the main is only interesting to the
historian.
1t is principally devoted to question of vera.
city between Baldwin on the one side, and Lewis
and Bolts on the other, as to whether President
Lincoln did or did not submit to Mr.. Baldwin,
as q messenger from the said Secession Conven-
ton, sent for by the President, a proposition
that if said Convention, without dipping into
secession, would adjourn sine die, he would
take the responsibility OF evacuating Fort
Sumter. Baldwin says he received no such
proposition. Lewis and Bolts say that from
his own statements at the time Baldwin did re-
ceive it, and that Bolts took him TO task for not
submitting it to the Convention, as a matter of
the utmost Importance But whether Bald win
or Bolts is right is a matter now of no sort of
Importance in reference to the business before
Congress- All such stuff from the Reconstruc-
ton Committee involves waste of time, money,
paper, and printers ink. The Rebellion is done
Tor, and the business before the committee is the
restoration off the latesRebel States. Upon this
question Messrs. Bolts and dLewis-persecutedVir
gnia Unonsts during the WARFARE naturally
President Johnson's generous Southern policy.
But they see things through distorted medium,
and their evidence, accordingly, is warped and
| unreliable.
We gave in full the testimony of General Lee,
| because, as the evidence of the great military
| leader of the Rebellion everybody was in.
terested in reading it, especially in regard to
| the present state of public opinion in Virginia
on the practical, living issues of the day. We
| presume, too, that General Lee is as well quail
| fed, from his personal observations and know
| ledge of public sentiment in Virginia, as any
other man in the State, TO represent that people
| fairly before the Reconstruction Committee.
| In this view his statements as to what the Vr-
ginians are prepared and what they are not
| prepared TO do in the way of reconstruction
are upon the whole as much as could be ex-
pected. II they are not in raptures over their
subjugation as Rebels, they are at least disposed
to submit to the new order of things and the
| Presidents policy in good faith; and in the
| midst of the ruins of the Rebellion they are too
much absorbed in the struggle for existence TO
be concerned in the plots of political dema-
| gogues. This is an important fact and, as with
! their best efforts to recover from their broken
fortunes, it will require from the Southern people
! years OF steady labor TO repair the damages oi
| the war; there need be no fears OF mischief from
| them with their restoration to Congress-
