A Warning from Congress TO Jef. Davis
In the bill which has passed the Senate,
by vote of thirty.seven to eight, regu-
lating the empanneling of juries, men
are made eligible as jurors who may have
formed an opinion on general reports,
but who may otherwise declare them
selves in their belief as competent to give
an impartial verdict upon the law and
the evidence. The bill is understood to
be aimed to meet the cases Of JEFF. Davis
and Surratt, and in view of juries that
will convict these men. The ex Presi-
dent of the late Southern Confederacy,
therefore, will act like wise pan in
keeping outside the jurisdictionsof the
United States, at least until the day
after our coming Presidential election:
The Radicals are after jury that will
convict him Of treason, and if convicted
under Old Ben Wade there will be no
chance for pardon.-Netc York Her

CHI A r EsT TON.
SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1876
Change Front.

Two disastrous years have taught the
Southern planter that he cannot live by cot
ton alone. The staple might be proftably
raised by slave labor, but it cannot be
raised by free labor to any advantage, unless
the freedmen are willing to accept small
wages and work even harder than they did
before the war. It was never wise to de-
pend exclusively on cotton, or TO neglect
the growth of cereals and the encourage
ment of manufactures for the sake of the
most precarious of all crops. This is well
understood, and the next step is to act upon
our understanding.
Our great need has always been diversity
of employments and of productions, and
this which was always necessary is now in
dispensable. Every Southern man must
encourage Southern manufactures; and they
who cultivate land should have vineyard,
and give fair trial to wheat, sheep and
other departments of husbandry. This was
not done q century ago in the South, it was
not done ten years ago; but it must be done
now. Nor is capital indispensable. Com
mand of means would admit of the building
of factories, mills and machine shops; but
every man has his head and his arms and
that is capital enough to begin with. The
small commencements are what is wanted;
and these, at least, every man can make.
Let him be careful and moderate in his ex-
periments, so as not to embarrass himself,
but look always to diversifying his products
and thus increasing his independence Of
foreign markets. And, in the words of the
New York Tribune,-if any one shall be
induced to start factory or foundry near
his estate, let him give that neighbours pro-
duct preference over any rival from the
North, and persuade his neighbors to do
likewise.
The planters and agriculturists of the
South must "change 'front.'" and the sooner
the better.

ELLA, OR SPAIN FIFTY YEARS AGO. Translated
from the Spanish of Feman Caballero. Con-
ISOLATION in Death. New York: D. Appleton
g. Co. 1868. Charleston: John Russell.
1t is not often that translations of Span
ish novels are published in this country,
and if the current literature of Spain is
marked by the quiet merits Of the volume
now before US, the little publicity that has
been given to il on this continent is much
to be regretted. Ella is tale of, the Spain
of fifty years ago, and thoughtful, genial
description of Spanish life and manners.
1t is overhowing with purity of thoug ht and
simple beauty of expression, and, with the
shorter tale called "Consolation in Death, y
which is bound up with it, is work which
will interest the gravest, attract the gid
diest, and fascinate the attention of the
young. The translation is natural and
easy, and the translator has given in cx-
cellent English faithful version of the
original.

The Latter Day Saints.

Mormonism must die; not more because
it is opposed to the tenets of Christianity,
than because its existence is incompatible
with those polite laws which are necessary
for the safety of nations and Individuals.
AS long as there exists form of govern
ment which allows its subjects to crafty
their passions under the cover Of yielding
obedience to the inspired teachings of its
head, there will be found men willing to
forsake the cities of the East and the fields
of the South, the factories of England and
the cottages of Ireland, for the purpose of
joining their fortunes with those of the
"Saints" in Utah. Salt Lake City may be
strictly and sensibly ruled, there may be
reward for labor and security for wealth,
but, as long as polygamy is there COM
manded and practiced, the canker is spread
ing which will bring to its end one of the
most marvellous social organizations of the
nineteenth century. Recruits may be OBJ
tanned, population may increase; but, as is
already shown by the schism arising out +

The Doctrine Of Allegiance.

The claims of Great Britain to the per-
petual allegiance of her subjects are now
discussed by the English journals in o mod
crate and sensible manner. No regard is
paid to the declamatory appeals Of the
American politician, but there is an evident
desire that the Governments Of Washington
and st. james should come to better un-
derstanding upon vexed and troublesome
question. Among others, an able writer
who signs himself "Historicus'' has taken
up the subjects in series of elaborate
essays in the London "Times." Most per-
sons will be surprised to find from the ad-
missions of this writer, not only that the
allegiance of British born subjects is indis-
soluble, but that their children born abroad
are made by statute natural born subjects,
whilst, on the other hand, every man born
within the dominions of the British crown
is British subject, whether the parents
are British subjects or aliens. "1Iistori-
GUS" however, comedies that these maxims
had their origin in system which is now
obsolete and that the political facts of the
present day are wholly irreconcilable with
the legal theory. These facts may not be
recognized by the technicality Of the law,
but an enlightened craftsmanship must take
them into consideration. Emigration is a
phenomenon for which the feudal law made
no provisions, and "Historicus' therefore
makes the following suggestions for the
amendment of the allegiance acts, both
with respect to the acquisition of citizen
ship and also as TO expatriation 81. Bri-
tish citizenship should belong, as Of course,
only to persons born of British parents
domiciled in the British dominions. 2. The
children born of foreigners in the British
dominions should, as in France, have the
capacity to take up their citizenship. 8.
AS to descendants born abroad Of English
parents, who are domiciled abroad, an cleo
ton should be given to become citizens, to
be testified by certain prescribed formalities.
f. Every British subject should be allowed
to withdraw himself from the State by
some formal act disclaiming his citizenship.
S. Certain acts should be defined as consti-
tuting in themselves forfeiture of citizen
ship, whether so disclaimed or not
The necessity of some such concessions
is too palpable to be gainsaid, and, whether
England makes them or not, they will pre-
vail in practice as far as the United States
is concerned.

differences of belief upon the subject of
polygamy itself, the sect will in course of
time work out its own ruin. Polygamy is
the cornerstone of the Mormon temple,
and polygamy must be maintained. BRIG
HAM YOUNG and his apostles can make no
concessions upon this point, and upon this
their chief dogma they must make their
battle.
There is, however, one greut danger.
Persecution will strengthen any party and
any creed, it excites an enthusiasm which
causes men TO do what in their sober sea-
sons never would be done. This, persecu-
tion has done and will do for Mormonism.
The Saints were driven from Illinois, from
Missouri and from Ohio; but their number
Increased as the taunts and shouts of their
enemies grew louder and more violent.
From handful of fleeing men they have
grown into community of more than
seventy-fve thousand souls; and this, in
great measure, is the result of persecution
And the. experience Of the past is lesson
enough for the future. If the Mormons
are left to themselves they will assuredly
fall away. Discussions will arise, schisms
will increase, the axe will be laid to the
roots of the tree of many branches. But
any attempt to dispossess them of their ter
ritory, or to force them by blows and knocks
to renounce their faith, will add yigor to
their body polite and defer the day of its
ruin. Mormonism will not last many years
if left undisturbed; it may endure for de-
cades if it is strengthened by active perse-
cution.
Many persons believe, nevertheless, that
the United States should compel the Nor
mons to content themselves with one wife,
and that there is no hope for this poor land
while single polygamist breathes. This
view may be adopted by Congress, and, if
that honorable body is OF loss how to act 30
as to keep the law to the letter and
break it to the spirit, and how to make
certain the speedy downfall of the prosper
ity, wealth and quiet Of Utah, it is recon-
mended that Utah be converted into Mill
tary District under series of Reconstruc-
ton acts, and that few thousand Southern
negroes be sent there as controlling citizens.
If these things will not cause Mormonism
to collapse, nothing will.
