mode OF treatment is as follows: When the nreced.

pears that it has beer successful in England Russia

UTAH.-A writer on Mormonism says the feelings of
the first wives in Utah are any thing but cordial Our
author says these deuded women have long since be-
come dsgused with their horrible condition, and many
OF them have manifested their detestation and oathing
of pofygamy. Instances of that wretched old beast
Brigham Youngs cruelty and oppression are constantly
coming to light. The Saints too persecute all of the
denties in the Territory and exert themselves con-
stanty to make it disagreeabe for them. The ezper-
ience ofsome the women who have been interviewed
by some OF the reporters of the New York press are
painful and pitiabe. The sooner this hot bed of H.

| BRoWNLows EXPLANATIONS Old Brownlow has
been making an explanation of his course in the late
Tennessee election to the Senate in which he was as
vlndictve and vtuperatve as ever. A correspondent
says it makes nearly three columns of the Globe from
which we make up the following summary: He re-
iteraes that be should support Senter again if he had
chance; that he has not spoken to Andrew johnson
si- 1865, when he figured atthe Inauguration as
large as life and twice NATURAL that when he forms
an alliance with johnson it will be when he is lost to
all sense of honor and shame blind to all the code of
morals in the bible, and STEPPED to the chin and nose in
personal and political prohigacy He calls A. j. Rcks
OF the Cincinnati Commercial the tailend of Copper
head law firm and an inscriptions Bohemian who has
abused him. He adds that Stokes and Butler remain
in the Republican party for punder and that Butler
was trying to raise rebel troops while he (Brownow)
was dying in Jail; that the worst men in the South are
those who married negrostocked cotton plantations
before the war and then into the rebellion. and
they only seek now to destroy the Government by leg
slation He concludes as follows:
With an insulting consciousness Of the kind favor
which they will meet at court, certain malignant Re-
pubicans from Tennessee have gone to the President
either In person or through of his Cabinet off.
GERS and have disparaged the Senter Republicans in
general and myself and particular To those cowardly
assaults have made no reply, shall I, except as
contained in these remarks. have not seen the Pres
dent, nor any member Of his Cabinet since his cleo
tion to the hi gh office so worthily filed by him, nor
have | visited any of the departments have asked
ewer favors as believe of this administration than

sequence, have obtained fewer Nor shall seek by 1

A CARPET-BAGGER JupeE-The Cincinnati Enquirer
of late date throws little light on the antecedents
of one VIM B. Woods, lately appointed Judge of the
United States Circuit Court for the district of which
this State forms part This Woods is from
Licking county, Ohio, and according to the Enquirer
was 8 the Speaker of the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives, at Columbus which met in January 1858
When the war commenced he had realizing sense OF
where office and honor to go, and turned Repub-
can in order to share in them At its conclusion he
remained in Alabama, and turns up with one Of
the highest Offices of that section-that of Circuit
Judge. Woods made good speaker but he was never
suspecedsin this State Of being lawyer Of any but
the most slender attanments. His highest ambition,
if he had remained at home, would have been to fill
the office of Common Pleas Judge, if his desires had
led him in the direction of the bench To select him,
in State where he is a mere adventurer-a lawyer
with paucity of clients-over a crowd of eminent
and leading attorneys, is simply scandalous outrage
