C1vIL1zATIoN.-Brigham Young,
has made speech to his followers,
and among other things, is reported
to have said: Onr outside friends say
they want to civilize us here. What
do they mean by civilization Why,
they mean by that to establish
gambling holes-they are called
gambling heHs-grog shops, and
houses of ill-fame on every corner
of every block in the city; also
swearing, drinking, shooting and
debauching each other. Then they
would send their missionaries here
with faces as long as jackasses,
ears, who wonld 60 crying and
groaning through the streets, "Oh,
what a poor, miserable, sinful world !"
That is what is meant by civiliza
ton. That is what priests and dea-
cons want to introduce here !; trades
men want it, lawyers and doctors
want il, and all hell wants it. But
the Saints do not want it, and we
will not have it. Congregation

The Columbus Journal contains
the following incident:
! During the terrible fire Wednes-
day night at the Lunatlc Asylum, no
persons more exerted them selvt 8
or performed more efficient service
than DR.. Morell and DR.. Steward, the
, Assistant Surgeons, Both perform
ed many acts of herolsm, and both
were many times in the greatest dan
ger.
DR.. Steward had a most thrilling
adventure in attempting the rescue
of the large woman who, on being
taken to the Amusement Hall, crea-
ted a sensation by a dance upon the
piano.
This woman was one of the strong
est and most violent in the Asylum.
She made no effort to escape from
her room, though the cinders from
above were falling about and the
ceiling threatening to fall. DR..
Steward rushed to her rescue at the
risk of his life.

against it, thus preventing the es-
cape of tile man who had come to
save her. She was SO powerful that
the Doctors efforts to force her from
the door were unavailing.
An attendant had followed him,
however, and the two finally succeed
ed in dragging her from the burn
ing room to the Amusement Hall,
where she celebrated her rescue by
a dance upon the piano.

IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS

IMPORTANT TO PENsIoNERs.-An
act was passed on the 9th of July
last, declaring that all pensions shall
commence from the date of the death
or discharge of OF the soldier Ma
ny pensions were comI enced at the
time Of finishing the last papers OF
the application, and SO the pensioner
lost from one to two years Of pay.
All these pensions are now made
payable from the time Of the sold

less for US to- caution our readers
against leaving their potatoes ex-
posed to the light either. out doors
or in the cellar. They will, if so
exposed, soon turn green, become
soggy, and almost unfit for USE
They should, if possible, be kept in
dark, cool place, away from all
danger Of frost in winter. We think
potatoes used to keep better in times
gone by in the old dark cellars, than
now, in the modern cellars, with
their numerous windows. Some
are in the habit of keeping their po-
tatoes in pits in the ground, dug
deep enough to be safe from the
frosts. This may keep them we'll,
but is a troublesome plan. We have
known them to be kept in the very
best condition in barrels and cover
ed with sand"

Gen. Howard is engaged in clos
ing up the general business of the
Freedman's Bureau, which will be
discontinued at the end Of the pres
ent year. After that time there
will remain of it only the education
al department and the business of
collecting the money due to soldiers
and sailors. In organizing the edu-
cational department., Gen. Howard
has acted with proper regard for
economy, and at the same time with
a proper regard for the necessities
of the case. Each Southern State
will have an Assistant Commission
er, who will act as Chief Superin-
tendent of Schools. The other Off
GERS will be few in number. The
Bureau has done great and good
work for the Southern freedmen
during it's existence; and in the
more limited sphere which it will
hereafter possess, it will still be of
incalculable benefit in the elevation
of the blacks. N. Y. Times.

The news from Louisiana this mo

The news from Louisiana this NOR
ming will surprise all parties. Il
seems that the Democrats who bull
lied the election through on election
day in several parishes, with con
sistent disregard and contempt OF
law, made their returns without ref
erence to the forms of procedure by
statute made and provided. The
consequence is that the Board OF
State Canvassers, as bound by theil
oaths to do, threw out these infor.
NAL and irregular returns, which
gives the State to Grant and ColfaN
by amajority Of nearly twenty four
thousand. 1t seems, too, that col
ored man has been elected from one
of the districts to serve out the un-
expired term Of somebody in the
present Congress. The gentleman
elected was, we believe, a delegate
to the Chicago Convention, is not
so black as many men who consid-
er themselves white, and is person
Of courteous manners and superior
culture.-Cinm. Guzette, 2Sth ult.

and / refer to them for details.
would earnestly renew my recon-
smendation of the last year that the
control of the Indians be transferred
to the War Department. I call
special attention to the recommen
dation Of General Sherman on this
subject. 1t has my earnest appro-
val. 1t is unnecessary that the ar
guments in favor of the transfer
should be. repeated, the necessity
for it becomes stronger and more
evident every day. While the In
dian war continues I do uot deem
any general Legislation for the re
duction of the army advisable. The
troops on the plains are all needed
the troops in the Southern States
are still needed, and further reduc-
ton can be made in the way already
used and now in operation where ii
is safe, namely, by allowing compa-
MES to diminish by discharges with
out being strengthened by recruits
and by stopping appointments OF
second ieutenants. If it should be
deemed advisable the veteren re-

Congress meets next Monday.
The finances and an Amendment to
the National Constitution, making
Suffrage Universal, are questions
that demand and will receive early
consideration.
We. trust that the Funding Bill,
which was carelessly allowed to be
temporarily. 7smothered in Andrew
Johnson's brceches' pocket, will be-
come a law at an early day. At
any rate, something must be done
to reduce the extortionate interest
now paid on the National Debt.

The recent Republican triumph
has already had most salutary in
fiuence upon the malcontents of the
South. A recent dispatch from
Washington says:
Representative Heaton, from
North Carolina, arrived to-day, and
reports that since Grants election a
wonderful change has taken place
in all arts of the State. The very
men who, before the election com
mitted the outrages then so COM
mon, are:now the most quiet and
law abiding. Many Of the late reb-
els freely express their satisfaction
at Grants election because of their
conviction that in case of his defeat
the whole South would have been
given up to violence.

The Two Extremes.

Massachusetts and South Carolina
can now no longer be quoted as the
two political extremes. They stand
side by side, in the support of the
grand party of freedom. The two
antagonistic states are now Massa-
chusetts and Kentucky. The one
gives the largest Republican, and
the other the largest Democratic ma
jority, and the two, as far as major
tiles go, about balance each other.
Massachusetts gives Grant 1876, ,447
votes, aud Seymour 59,408-giving
Grant majority of 1909. Ken
tucky (nearly completed gives Grant
3S,922, Seymour 1I4,757 Seymours
majority $685.. The two States
very nearly match each other.-C.

The Columbus Ministers have
been deprived of the use of the State
Library by the present Democratic
Legislature, and in retaliation said
Ministers refused to open the ses-
sion of that body with prayers, upon
which the Cleveland Herald re-
marks: 1t strikes US the Legisla-
ture has the best Of the Clergy, for
while the use of the library is a
great good to the Reverends, the
prayers of all Gods people could do
but little good to the Democratic
majority Of the Legislature.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1868-12-03


Our Democratic Legislature, says
the Cleveland Herald, is an expen-
sive luxury. Not content with run
ming its last winter session into the
hot months, at an expense of many
thousand over and above any Re-
publican Legislature even during
the exigencies of the war, it ad-
|Journed over until the unusual month
of November, and having had =
weeks session-for what purpose
nobody can tell-it again adjourned
nntil January, makiug three ses-
sions in Que year.
/ When it is remembered that the
Convention which framed our pres
ent Constitution was a Democratic
body, that its greatest boasted con
stitutional reform was in the max
ing Of biennial Legislative sessions,
thus to save time and money!
when it is also considered that we
are in profound peace, no rebellion
on our hands, no war with outsiders,
the people may we'll ask, What has
Ohio gained by, .electing a majority
Of Democratic members tc her Leg.
islature
In the history of Ohio we cannot
recall such body of reckless, silly,
and :unprincipled men gathered in
the Capitol, as is now made odious
by the present Democratic majori-
ty. The legislation of last winter
was either marked by folly or fraud.
1t was a disgrace to the age and to
the majority that had control Of
such legislation, while the session
was, by far, the longest since the
present constitution was framed,
and the most expensive in the his
tory of Chic. Not content with
this the majority have now held two
sessions and propose to hold third.
Perhaps the secret Of this short
November session can be explained
by the prompt voting down of
motion that no member shonld
charge mileage. What a beggarly
thing is Democracy that holds a
useless Legislative session Of a week
that it may draw its mileage. We
think the people will be ready, by
the end of next winters session to-
take up the boy refrain "three times
and out"

Edwin Nj. Stanton.


The Consmoner pays the follow,
ing tribute to our illustrious country
man, whose immortal name heads
this article:
We have always considered Mr.
Stanton as a person upon whom the
President might choose to lean,
from habit as we'll as inclination.
Mr.. Stanton was The atrongest spirit
Of the war. He duly understood the
crisis. He knew that it was not a
mere war of forces under stable in
stitutions, but it was strife of ideas
which attacked systems. He leaped
over forms and put himself into di-
rect electric communication with all
the free States, so as to inculcate
them with his own rabid aversion to
slavery, and not so much to that,
rs to the shareholders. He collect
ell his resources from every quarter,
regardless of legality or cost. He
poured out the war material; he
lavished men and money. He Or
ganized the victory Of the North
and the defeat of the South. He
made the reputation of General
Grant and all other Generals. We
have often stated, what we still be-
lieve, that if Mr.. Stanton had been
the Southern Secretary of War, in
stead of the Northern, he could
have reversed the result, and we be
lieve it. Had it not been for his
method, energy, boldness, persist
ence and confidence, our Generals
and armies would have been frustra.
ted by their opponents, and the in
finite variety Of adverse forces to be
surmounted in such a difficult war of
invasion.
