The TURNvEREN.-In these times when
shams are so abundant and the public are so
constantly called upon to support exhibitions
of one kind and another, which make great
pretensions and advertise extensively their SO
called abilities, which exist only in the imap-
ination of the performers, it is a great pleasure
to attend an entertainment that so thoroughly
satisfies as the one of last evening did. We
had none of the giant swings" or "Niagara
leaps" or any of the great trapeze feats, but the
posturing, tumbling, Indian club exercises.
rings, pyramids and horizontal bar acts were
all very neatly and admirably executed. Mr.
Levantine's little son, judging by the ability
he already displays, will become bright and
shining light of the acrobatc school when he
has attained to mature years. The exhibition
OF the velocipedes was very interesting and tn
bicycles were admirably managed by CONNIE
tent riders. We think Messrs. Kimball & Lar.
kin may consider their velocipedes fully equal
to the best Partisan workmanship The eve
nings entertain ment closed with a GRAND
promenade concert music by Chambers Band
And we wish here to bestow a word of praise
on the band for their rendition of the overture
to Aubers Grown Diamonds" 1t was well
done, and we like to hear our band play some
thing besides dance music, no matter how
good the dance music or how we'll executed.
There was a fine house and we have no doubt
very pretty sum was netted.

QUAKER MEETING.-A small audience, and

move her to visit our city. This lady COM
menced the meeting with very fervent PRAYER,
we'll worded, and delivered with earnestress.
After gentleman made an exhortation. she
commenced her discourse and spoke earnestly
for more than an hour. Her voice is deem
toned, and was just as fresh and musical at
the end of her sermon as it was at the begin
ming. Her speaking is not rapid, but deliber-
ate and earnest. The burden of her remarks
was the Importance and the necessity of all
Christians to be united, and not quarrel about
peculiar tenets or doctrines. Her charity was
broad enough to cover all, and she never once
alluded to the doctrines of her own sect No
one would take her for a quakeress from any,
thing she said, but her bonnet and can gave
unmistakable evidence of the religious society
to which she belonged

The dose admins cred To tho
Saints at the Townsend House in

Colfax Oh the occasion Of his speech

has called out various replies from
the adherents to Mormonism. Among
others the Apostle John Taylor in
letter to the New York Tribune at,
tacks Mr.. Colfax's Speech, and to
which letter, the Vice President has
seen hit to reply in four column AT.
ticle in the New York Independent,
in clear convincing and full expose
Of the crying evil oi Polygamy,
Mr.. Colfax in the close OF his art-
sic puts tho question to the nation of
attending at once to this Iittlo re-
bellion of Brighams, in the following
terse language:
"Here only, in the whole civilized
world, arc practices like these | have
referred to tolerated. Here only, IN
the nation, are the laws of the Uni
ted States openly ignored and dctied.
Here only, from ocean to ocean, dare
any man proclaim that, as he has
done before, he will drive out The
officers Of the Republic if they per
form their duties ohjovtionably to
him. Four long years the nation
struggled, in an agony of blood, to
compel obedience to it's laws and cub
mission to its authority all over tho
South. ! would not rovive tho re
collections of that struggle, now
happily ended, except to say that
hundreds Of thousands of those who
warred against US were led by pull
pit and by statesmen alike, as we'll as
by the public opinion which surroun-
ded them, to believe that they were
right. But the nation resolved that
wherever the territorial area of the
Union extended, and wherever the
flag Of the Union had right TO float,
there the laws of the Union should
be obcyed and the authority of the
Union should be respected. Unlike
those, however, who sought to secede
from the Union, the Mormons claim
the benefit Of every law that they sec
fit to approye--homestead, naturali-
cation, protection Of property by
coarts and government, legislative
and judicial Offices in their territory,
etc.-and trample under foot such
laws of the government under whose
flag is their home, as they see fit to
reject. II is time to understand
whether the authority of the nation
or the authority Of Brigham Young
is the supreme power in Utah; wheth.
er the laws Of the United States or
the laws of the Mormon Church have
precedence within its limits.
have endeavored fairly, and
without bitterness, to discuss this
question in the various phases in
which it is presented by the Mormon
preachers themselves. | have not
looked to armies as tho solution of
this question. But there is moral
power in the people of the United
States, if they speak in regard to this
stain on the national escutcheon,
with one united voice, AS England
did to the Brahmins. There is an
authority in the Congress of tho Uni
ted States, which is everywhere else
recognized. And in that power and
in that authority, if combined and
made manifest, | have faith aud
hope"
