The Omnibus Pacific Railroad bill, introduced
in the Senate on Saturday, guarantees the inter
est of bonds to the amount Of $4,000 900, to
be issued to aid in the construction Of five differ
ent roads, the interest amounting to eight and a
half millions Of dollars per annum. There is
but very little doubt but that the bill will he
rejected when it comes before the Senate,
though the Hobbies in the interests of the various
roads concerned, viii make determined effort
to carry it through.

These are all excellent names, but there is the
little difficulty as to some of them, that the Cons
titution does not allow the Censors to be oh, sen
''out of the Council, (now Senate,) or Assem-
bly," Messrs. Miner, Dale, Faruham and Con-
verse, are all members of the Legislature, and
therefore ineligible. This is a very proper pro-
vision Of the Constitution. Without it, if the
Legislature should happen to be convened in
special session during the sessions Of the Coun-
Gil Of Censors, the presence Of members might
be required in both bodies At once; and at any
rate, it would hardly be proper that as Censors
they should pass judgment on their own recent
acts as legislators The State Convention at
Montpelier, will however, save b. II. W. the
trouble of re-casting his ticket

The call for a State Convention to make nom
nations for Council of Censors, appears in our
columns to-day. The Convention is called at
Montpelier, on the 25th inst. The call is signed
by the Chairmen of the State Committees, and
is for a joint Convention, without distinction Of
party, which seems to us, on the whole, prefera-
bic to separate Conventions of the two ties.

The Mormon Question.

The interesting article by 81 Carleton " of the
Boston Journal, which We copy to-day, presents
forcbly some Of the aspects of the Mormon
question. That question will demand attention
as soon the questions of reconstruction are
settled, and our Legislators in Congress are al
ready at work on it Two bills against the Nor
mons are now pending in Congress. One, offer
ed in the Senate by Mr. Cragin Of New Hamp-
shire, provides that only citizens Of the United
States shall be competent to act as grand and
petit jurors th5t 10 man shall take unto him
self more than one wife that all commissions
and appointments, both civil and military,
granted by Brigham Young shall cease and have
no effect after the first of next year that it shall
be unlawful for the officers or members Of the
Church Of Latter Day Saints to grant divorces
or solemnize marriages that al the acts and
ordinances Of Brigham's Government, done in
the name Of the Church as trustee, granting
lands and streams Of the Territory, and which
in any way interfere with the primary disposal
Of the soil by the United States, are disapproved
and annulled and that no restriction Of any
kind shall he placed on the free use Of the ballot
The other bin was introduced in the House Of
Representatives by Mr. Ashley Of Ohio Il
proposes to divide the Territory Of Utah, except
the portion al-eldg settled and occupied. between
Nevada, Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming
This would restrict Utah TO SO small compass
that It could never become a State. even if there
were no objections to its Inhabitants and their
institutions.
It does not seem probable that either of these
bills will be enacted within the few weeks re-
naming Of the present session Of Congress.
But there is little Ioabt that some law for the re-
preston of NIormoai,m viii he passed within the
next two or three ve.r,
