PERVERTED GENIUs.-Weston, the peripateti-
clan, has taken to lecturing, like his illustrious
predecessor; and Adah Isaacs Menken an
nounces a volume of poems as soon to be
forthcoming, with dedication to Algernon
Charles Swinburne. The former, we regret to
say, is not as we'll received by the newspaper
critics as Charles Dickens-one of them who
has actually listened to his platitudes declaring
that "all his genius runs to legs, and his lee
lures are wishy-washy affairs" The first part
of this curt critique might be applied to the
Menken with propriety, and we opine that
when her rhymes are made public they will
be found quite as "wishy-washy" as are the
literary performances of the man who failed
to walk one hundred miles in twenty -four
hours

The BRUTAL TRAGEDY enacted in New York
day or two ago teaches lesson which the
authorities of every large city in the country
would do well to act upon. In the fatal en-
counter between the rival minstrels, the fact
was developed that two of them at least were
armed with revolvers, in consequence of which
defiance of the law Furnishing as a crime the
carrying of concealed deadly weapons, one life
was sacrificed and another is despaired of.
This practice has become almost fashionable
with a certain class of men, who lay claim to
some respectability, but who are nevertheless
subject to violent fits of passion, as well as
other mertals. If the police of this city and
New York should arrest without further
delay every man whom they have good reason
to suspect of violation of the law in this
way, the calendars of the criminal courts
would be materially decreased.

Mr. Moodward,s Speech.

THR House was startled yesterday by the able
legal argument of ex-Chief Justice Woodward,
who boldly declared in favor of that rule of
the law which allows Congress to prefer art-
Cles of impeachment against the President or
any officer for an offense which is not indicta-
BILE. Judge Woodward spoke purely as law
yer, and laid down what he considered the
true Interpretation of the legal rights of the
House. While opposed to impeachment he
boldly declared it lawful for it to be done,
without any specific crime being charged.
This view is one held by large number of
our ablest statesmen, and is only noticeable as
coming at this time from bitter Democrat.
The effect of the speech, we are told, was to
greatly surprise the House. We are glad to
see this tone among members. They desire
to rise above mere considerations of the pre-
sent, and to declare what, in their view of the
Law, is right. We hope to see such spirit
prevail much more generally among our
members than it does. .ll

THE Mormon question has loomed up in the
political horizon at various times, but in the
pressure of more momentous affairs, and
through the utter incompetency of those who
have been charged by the Federal Government
with attending to the matter, nothing has
come of the agitation 50 far The time is fast
approaching, however, when Brigham Young
will begin to figure more largely than ever in
politics, and when definite settlement of his
chronic disagreement with the rest of the
world will be forced upon us. The rapid
progress of the Pacific Railroad will soon open
up the fertile valley surrounding Great Salt
Lake, and its natural attractions, augmented
as they have been by the studied thrift of the
Saints, will be irresistible to tens of thousands
of sturdy pioneers in search of permanent
homes. Then will ensue social, and it may
be hand-to-hand, struggle between the fol
lowers of the Prophet and the Gentiles, tn,
result of which no one can reasonably doubt
Mormonism, with all its attendan
eCOentricities, will certainly go down in tn
encounter, especially if it come to blows. An

Il will receive no sympathy from the outside
world. AS far as mere vagaries in religious
doctrines are concerned, the Saints are entitled
to the privilege of stulufying themselves by
protesting to believe in the ohioanery of Joe
Smith, prophet and martyr, and by submitting
to the jugglery Of his by-no-means unworthy
successor the uxorious Brigham Young. II
the sanity adherents Of the latter will absn-
don the demoralizing practice of plurality Of
wives, there are none who will dare or care to
molest them or make them afraid. But If 1t
be their intention to continue it, their sum-
mary suppression is inevitable, and it be-
hoOves "the quorum Of twelve' to be on the
lookout for more eligible and less accessible
retreat than Utah, with the great highway of
the nation fairly cutting it in two. II may be
that Mr.. Secretary Seward can furnish them
with desolate island in the South Sea from
among his recent purchases. Let them make
the application without further delay.

THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS, who deserves to
rank as the Prince of Horse Jockeys, has come
to grief. At the last Derby his losses footed
up the sum of f8O,OOO, and these comprised
but moiety of the i'll luck which he has en-
countered of late. He has, therefore, been
obliged to put his racing stud under the ham
mer. 1t comprised twenty-one yearlings,
twenty two-year-old nags, and eleven horses
in training, all of which netted f37, 900. The
poor man has probably not dozen horses left
to console him.

not afraid to taste Of it himself lest he should
be poisoned by its destructive properties. It
was cordial to the sick man and balm TO
heal his disease. But what is the history of
to-day, of the year 1867, in the science of
medicine We say II has retrograded and
gone back faster than all other sciences have
advanced. The doctor Of to-day has turned
his back upon the great store of the forest
and said your healing virtue requires too
much labor for me to perform. His presOrip-
tion is given, and remedies prepared from tbe
destructive magazines Of poisons.
Such is the prejudice Of a certain fraternity
of doctors, that IL one Of their number was to
prepare a great remedy for the cure Of a GER
tain disease, and offer It for sale to the needy
sufferer, he would be kicked out of their midst.
and they would refuse to hold counsel with
him. We say shame on such wicked conduct.
God will weigh you in the balance, in His great
day Of reckoning, and reward you according
to your evil deeds. We say to the sick, hope
in God, that you may be restored to health by
the use of DR.. WIsHART's PINE TREE TAR

BONDS OF OFFICERS OF BENEVOLENT In
sTITUTIoNs.-As large number of our be-
nevolent institutions are shortly to change
their officers 1t may be of interest to them
to know that the Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue decides that the position of
Treasurer in the organization of Free Ma
sons, Odd Fellows or similar institutions is
not an Office within the meaning of the
Statute and that bonds given by persons
holding such positions are not subject to
the stamp Of 81 each, as bonds given .'for
the due execution or performance of che
duties" of an office, but to twenty five
cent stamp only as bonds mot otherwise
charged in schedule B. This ruling will
save many dollars to the funds of these in
stitutions. Their habit heretofore, we be-
lieve, has been to affix the ST stamp.
