WHY so MANY GO ABRoAD.-Those of
our readers who have noticed the list of pas
sengers on board the foreign steamers, must
have been struck with the number and char
acter of those OF our citizens who are seeking
amusement by travel in other lands. The
astonishment al the number is augmented by
the inspection of the wealth of the tourists.
Men whom we have never esteemed rich, who
were in comfortable circumstances, and who
have modestly passed their days in compe-
tence, but not wealth, now suddenly appear
in the character OF travellers, and seek a home
among the hills of France, or the groves and
lakes ofItaly. The truth of the matter is, that
for persons who receive certain annual in
come from investments, it is the course dictated
by economy to live in Europe. According to
the last Home JoUrRGl-the statement is
rather exaggerated, we think, ,.on the score OF
comparative expense-the reason why so
many Americans are going abroad, is. in the
fact that a family can live in England or
France on the rent of their house in Philadel-
phia. One, it is said, can live in Naples, in
Dresden, in Edinburgh, in Paris, or even in
London, for about one-haG of the cost of liv-
ing in our city, and pay fifty per cent
for exchange. The article says -
"The temptation to persons of fixed and
limited incomes, who have no business pursuits
to detain them here, is quite irresistible. They

great wealth is now exploded. To be sure,
to reside in certain portions of the Old
World is as expensive as remaining at home,
but nowhere is it more so. In Germany the
cost OF living averages less than two dollars
per day, while in certain parts of Italy, aud
parts where ii is most delicious to have a resi-
dence, the expense falls short of one dollar.
| Nowhere does it run beyond an ordinary
American hotel bill, and one can travel over
all portions of the Continent, see everything,
and live luxuriantly on less than five dollars
| per diem. The consequences are natural.
Those Of our people who like to maintain a
reputation and who have really not the money
whereon to found it., can go abroad. Florence
and Naples are most desirable places, and
when to the balmy climate is added the ex-
pense of four hundred year, it is astonishing
how much more salubrious the atmosphere
becomes. There is, therefore, no cause for
surprise. We would have Witnessed the same
social phenomenon during the war were it not
that the rate OF exchange was from two hum
dred to thIes hundred per cent; but now
when it is but fifty, it is cheaper and more
distingue to seek in a foreign land new
sights, new amusements, combined with greater
| economy

MoBMONDoM AND MEMBERS OF Con-
oREss.-BRIGHAM You've, In his message
to the Legislature of Deseret, says:-
II regret that indications do not appear favor
able or any action during the present session
of Congress, This delay on the part OF our
Government appears the more remarkable, us
other Territories of less extent and population
have gained their status as States, and no good
reason can be assigned why Deseret should con-
tinue to he thus excluded"
We fear BRIGHAM does not read the de-
bates in Congress. If he did he would have
seen an excellent reason why Ais admission
should be refused. We think it was "Sunset
Cox who put the horrid proposition, that "lf
the representatives from Utah should bring
their wives, they would monopolize the gal
lery and invade the floor of the House, thus
excluding the other ladies and impeding legls-
lation" The thought Of the consequences,
domestically considered, of thus shutting the
doors of Congress on their own ladies, SO
affected the members that the motion to
admit the delegates was at once laid on the
table. The Prophet further says:--
1.-THE question as to ho,o Tong IL ,oiH be proper
for as TO submit to thus have our constitutional
rights and franchises withheld from us is an i'm
portant one, but we leave its solution to Him
who rules all things"
We really cannot see what the Injured
saints can do except leave it 10 the settlement
of the future. 1t will be proper just so long
as Congress sees fit, and it is probable
that they will see fit through all eternity
unless the Mol Imons repent OF their evil ways
and turn from toe crime of polygamy.

The Marysvillc Appeal of March Sd
has the following:
A PoLIricAL PaEpIcrroS.-Any Union man
who to-day endorses and hurrahs for johnson will
in a few weeks throw up his hat for jeff. Davis.
We have the authority of the States
man for saying that the following promi-

johnson, viz:

1t follows, of course, that all these loyal

equal in rights. II is her nc crime, but
the truest virtue, to insist upon State
equality. They made the States sover-
eign as to all powers not delegated BY
them. 1t is then not treason, but the
purest patriotism, to contend for that soy
~ereignty. The Constitution was made for
all, and the Union was intended for the
benefit of the whole. 1t is therefore the
high province of true Americans to resist
any measures calculated for the benefit OF
a few to the injury of the many-designed
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of a section only.
When such great issues die We will have
found a political millennium condition
of more than human perfection or the
paralysis of despotism.
