THE REVENUE DEPARTMENT..

The great debt brought upon the ma
tion by the war of rebellion, has neces-
STATED the levying of burdensome
taxation upon the people To- provide for
the payment of the interest on the debt
and the decrease of the principal. The
war ended. the two leading problems
this country had TO solve, were, the re-
construction of the rebellious states and
the payment OF this debt. The one is
almost completed, but three civil State
governments remaining in allegiance;
the other is Yet almost in the chaos that
il was at the end of the war. THE nu p
merous measures heretofore adopted
were but temporary,-a wild struggle
TO keep the country above water until
our finauciers had determined in which
direction they would strike out for terra
frnia-for. until the present Adminis-
tration was fairly in power il was not
determined fact that the debt would
be paid at all.
Grants Inaugural was the first official
assurance from an Executive that the
debt would be paid in money. and one
OF his FIRST movements is, and subse>
quent ones will be. TO see that payment
is rendered possible. To this end he
will have the cordial cooperation of the
present Congress. ln the succession OF
Mr. Delano TO the office held by Mr.. Roll
Inns, there is not much significance; the
latter was probably as honest, able and
efficient as The former will be Mr..
Rollins hands were tied. and every eft
fort 10 secure efficiency defeated by the
corrupt rings organized by Binck-
ley and kept in power by
johnson. Mr.. Delano will have the
assistance of the Executive and Con-
gress to secure honest officers and close
collection of the revenues. The plum
dering middle men will be driven from
the departments; the assessing and col
lecting pirates be strung up at the yard
arm of the ship of State, and with hon
Is. and equal collections the taxes can
be reduced one>half by another year,
aud the revenue still kept up to that of
1868. Next to New York, New Orleans
is probably the worst den of revenue
thieves in the country, the revenue coll
lections being olutely insufficient in
the State to pa. 20 salaries of the Rev
enue officers. /. viii seen by the tele-
grams that clean sweep has been
made in the city district, and New York
will next receive attention. to be fol-
lowed up in other cities until the whis>
key rings and tobacco rings have been
broken up. and a faithful collection of
revenue secured. The fate of Grants
administration depends upon it's finan>
cial success, and that success, in great
measure. depends upon the Revenue
Department. II is the inflow to the
Treasury. With that pouring steady.
copious stream, and the leaks well
stopped, it will give tone, vigCr and con
fidence to the country. and lead to q
speedy adjustment of all financial issues
TO the honor of the country and the re-
lief the people.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMsELF.-Yes-
terday afternoon about three O'Clock.
Mr.. Beadle, editor of the Reporter. Pros
fessor Reyes and two other gentlemen
started from this Office TO witness the
game of base ball being played on the
Arsenal grounds. While the game was
in progress several gen ntlemen, accompa-
MED by Mr.. Beadie. proceeded a short
distance from the players To- practice in
the more amusing pastime, (I) that of
practising with their revolvers. Mr.
Besdle recently purchased a new weap-
on. the trigger of which was very hard
TO pull blck and in trying TO cock it his
thumb slipped and the pistol went off,
the ball taking effect in the cap of the
right knee, shattering it TO some extent.
He sank back upon the ground. pulled
out his pocket knife and with n forti-
tude but seldom eQualled, cut out the
ball. Although the wound is little
painful, il is not serious, aud in a week
or so he will be able TO get around again.
DIR. Fowler is attending the patient and
the Reporter will be edited as usual
lSat Lake Reporter, March 9.
We regret TO learn of the accident TO
our esteemed brother editor and hope
for his speedy recovery. The skilful
care of DIR. Allen Fowler and the COM
panionship OF Prof. Keyes. comes as near
being compensation for such bad luck
as anything We can imagine.

HOW THEY DO 1T.

Tne Salt Lake Reporter in re publish
an article from the PusT touching on
Mormonism SAYS, cit shows in one or
TWO points that the same general mis-
take prevails everywhere outside OF
Utah, in regard to polygamy being "the
only great evil of Mormonisn. After
enumerating various evils of the Utah
Hierarchy, il asserts that incest is not
even denied ard is rather advocated. -
and TO put them 10 the proof. asks the
following questions of the Mormon pa
pers. They are rough, # true, and If
untrue. their falsity can be easily
shown.
/. Are there not many instances IN
this Territory where a man Is married
To the mother. and one, two or three
daughters
Are there not several men here. each
of whom is married TO two or three Sis
tersg
,. Did not one of the foremost men
of the Church marry a widow, then get
her oldest son sent on n mission and
marry that sons wife while he was
gomez His step sons wife?
4. Did not well>known Individual
in this city marry his halt-sister. with
the consent of Brigham Young, and live
with her as his wife several years?
). Has not Brigham Young openly
justified such marriage in the pulpit,
saying. the time might come when
brothers would marry their oIca sisters
in order TO raise up a pure priesthood 7
q. Did he. or did he not. make sub
stantially the same statement JO Hep>
worth Dixon, as set forth in the latter
work on this country, adding however.
that he kept that doctrine to himself
just now-it was too strong doctrine
for the people?'
.. Have no; men here married their
daughters>in-law, directly contrary 10
Gods word, as laid down IN DeuterOno-
my xxviig
Has not the President of the stake
at Brigham City two OF his brothers
daughters for wivesT
These are a few of the questions TO
be answered. II they are " slanderous"
ii will be easy to show il. If denied,
We will proceed TO offer some proofs.
