Interesting Discussion --- Abolition
of slavery i'm Porto Rico Promised.
MADRID, Nov. 15.-The proceedings IL
the Constituent Cortes Saturday were in
teresting and important.
One of the Porto Rico deputies asked
Senior Becerna, Minister for the Colonies,
what course of government would be
adopted toward an island that was peopled
by 600, 900 faithful Spaniards.
The Minister replied that the treatment
people would be proud to call themselves
Spaniarls.
The deputies suggested and advised the
abolition of slavery in Porto Rico, with
indemniflcation to the owners. Becerna
replied that that question would soon be
solved, and in way to cause the least in
jury.
Subsequently the Minister in reply to the
question of Senior Badial, said the govern
ment proposed to treat Porto Rico not as
only a colony but as a Spanish province
He did not hesitate to condemn the system
of slavery in existence in Porto Rico, and
agreed to its adjustment, with indemnif-
cation to owners for losses.

THE MORMON SCHIsBI.

The Expelled Sasnts--Carsls and Pro-
tests.
A Salt Lake City correspondent gives
an account of the sehism now pending in
the Mormon church. 1t was caused orig
inally by a proposition to open up the
mining regions and favor the immigration
of capitalists, at which Brigham took UNI
bragg. He recently claimed to have a
revelation directing him to draw $25,
900, 900 now deposited in the Bank of
England, and remove to the Sandwich
Islands with it, but the people did not
respond cordially, and he has given up
the idea.
The Utah Magazine for October 30
contains cards from the accommodated
MomOns w. S. Godbe and Eli b. Kelsey
fan appeal to the people, " and formal
| protest against Brigham Young and the
Council. The editor says: ''We have no
intention of suspending the issue of this
magazine The war has evidently open
ed in earnest. The ''protest" sets forth
that it is the right of all MormOns to re-
fuse to accept principles or measures on
the sole authority of the priesthood; that
they have right to retain standing in
the church, solong as their lives are pure,
without regard to the opinions of the
| leaders; that the right of public discussion
| exists; that il is ian illegal and unright-
eous use of theholy priesthood to expel any
person from the church because they can
not cOnscientiOusiy admit the divinity of
any measure presented by the priesthood;
| and the final protest is against compuL
sion. "
Mr.. GOdbe declares he is still a faithful
Mormon, but substantially reiterates the
declarations of the formal protest. He
adds that he has paid thousands of dollars
10 the Mormon authorities, at times when
| he thought the measures in contemplation
were not wisely planned, but he was moi
prepared TO destroy ''unity of action" by
| refusal.
Mr. Kelsey says: 81 have apOstatized
from no doctrine nor commandment ever
| given to the church by revelation through
Joseph Smith; nor, indeed, from any of
the measures of President Young-saye
wherein he claims infallibility for Presi-
dent Young, at the same time admitting
his fallibility as a man"
| This is the substance of the respective
| utterances of the men who now stand ar
rayed in open hostility to Brigham.
These editors, it win be remembered
wished TO encourage immigration to de-
| velop the mineral resources of Utah.
Brigham Young objected, and the editors
persisted in defending theirposition. They
were brought before the High Council and
to grief. One of the elders remarked that
'it was apostasy to differ honestly with
the measures of the president" and an
other venerable sinner wound up by say
ing, "that we might as well ask the CUES
ton whether man had the right to differ
with the Almighty.

Manifesto of The Opposition.
The manifesto of the opposition members
of the Corps Legislatif is published and is
signed by % deputies. They say the de-
mand by the people of the right to govern
themselves means an inevitable transforma-
ton, the necessity of which is each day
proved more and more imperative. The
opposition intend to use peaceful means
to that end, unless an attempt is made to
silence them by force. The manifesto in
dictate the reforms, which the opposition
will insist upon.
They pronounce against the preliminary
oath prescribed for members of the corps,
and for the abolition of the military law,
the country to be armed merely for self
defense. The manifesto concludes as fol-
lows:
The elective principle is the only one
which will stand through all revolutions
and must not only be the base of the insti-
buttons of the country, but kept clear from
monarchial compromises and the violence
of demagogItes.

On the 1lth inst, a strange case came
up in the Supreme Court, in New York
before Judge Barry. Andrew Carr
claimed to have married Phoebe Pearsall
twenty years ago, the marriage to bepub-
licly proclaimed and the parties to live
together as man and wife only in case
Phoebe acquired certain property. Carr
now asks that the marriage be adjudged
valid, and that Phoebe be given 10 his care.
Phoebe denied any such marriage, and
claimed that the suit was brought to ex-
tort money, she being women of consid-
cradle means. The Judge held that no
court but spiritual one hal any jurisdic-
ton in such a matter, and that the action
was one unknown to jurisprudence. He
therefore dismissed the case.

The Washington papers think there is
no doubt whatever that the national capital
movement idea of the west is a systematic
and well-digested jOhbing scheme. The
0hrORiele takes the ground against the
movement that the land bought, the houses
built, and the money invested in WASH
ington were all on condition of the inn
piled promise of the government that the
capital should forever remain where It now
stands. That unquestionably was the under
standing of the original contract by which
Maryland and Virginia ceded the territory
for the District of Columbia. Does any
one suppose thBt these two States, strong
in their belief of their supremesoyereignty,
would have given up their soil for 8 10,

J. W. DoGeLAss, Acting COMMIT

"OFFIoIAL ENTERTAINMENTS. - The
King of Prussia recently paid a visit to
the town of Kiel. The aldermen of that
burgh testified their loyalty to their soyer-
eign by getting up agorgeOus dinner, which
the king honored by his presence. The
aldermen sought to have the feast paid fol
out of the municipal fund, but the citi.
zens said no. The matter was finally re-
ferred to the Minister of the Interior, and
that functionary tells the aldermen that
they must pay the bill out OF their own
pockets, or take the consequences. This
precedent should be of interest TO oul
own officials. Let them be careful how
they give feasts at the public cost, else
their constituencies may rebel, as did the
peasantry of Kiel, and force them to pay
the expense out of their own pockets.
