- In the House on the 18th. the Pacific
Railroads received staggering blow.
Mr.. Holman introduced resolution de-
claring the sense Of the House to be op.
posed to any further payment of money
or bends to aid in the construction of
railroads. Tho resolution created n SEN
sation which was rendered profound
when the vote on its passage was an
nounced to be 7s yeas to 80 nays. The
anti ruilroad subsidity men, elated with
their success, attempted to pass similar
resolution in regard to the granting Of
public lands for the same purpose, but it
was lost by very large majority. This
action of the House will have the effect
of clearing Washington of the presence
of the army of men who are here seeking
the Substitutes for railroad projects.

BREAKING Up OF TIE MORMON EN-
pIRE.-The bill introduced the other day
in the House by Mr.. Ashley, Of Nevada
providing for the dismcmbcrment of the
Territory of Utah, is really a statesman
like measure of the first class. 1t propo-
ses the best solution of the Mormon prob
lem which has yet been suggested, and
that problem is ono rapidly becoming
both serious and pressing. Mr.. Ashley's
bill proposes to cut one section from the
Mormon territory to be added TO Colora-
do, another to be added to Nevada,
third to Montana, and fourth to Wyo-
ming, leaving little more than Salt Lake
City under the dominion OF Brigham
Young. The effect of this dismember-
mont will be to so entirely break up the
political organization OF Mormonism and
reduce the power of its chiefs to that Of
nero religious or supertitious ascen-
dency, that it ceases to be in any degree
formidable. The strength Of Mormon

and independence. 1t has been actually
growing empire, rapidly gaining So
lidity and magnitude that would rem
der interference with its peculiar inssitu-
tutions an ugly aud troublesome matter.
TO divest it of this character and take
the counterfeit purple from the shoulders
of Brigham, lowering him to the position
of a mere high priest or prophet, prcsid-
ing over sect in several States and Ter
ritorics, is death blow to Mormonism.
1t no longer can hold a eompactness Of
organization that will resist the destroy
ing influences Of eneroaching Gentle civ
ilization. The problem OF what to do
without violence OF arbitrary interference.

MR.. REED-iSir: l see by reference to the
Mahoning Register of the 14th instant, that IL
contains the proceedings of tho annual meet
ing of the A. and N. L. Railroad Company, to
which the editor has appended the following
remarks which please publish for the informa-
ton of our citizens. Will not Ashtabula sec
ond any feasible plan to complete and put into
operation this road, upon which so much money
has been expendedp The response of every
one interested in the growth of the town and
the substantial interests of the county will be
in the Affirmative. H.
In connection with the projec. of a
Rail Road running to the north from
Youngstown, the ideas suggested in the
above resolutions become very import
ant. The old project of the Ashtabnla
and New Lisbon road was failure, be-
cause it failed to secure the traffic Of the
coal fields of Northeastern Ohio. But
lot road running through the midst of
this mineral wealth be built to BacOns-
burg, on the A. & G. w. Railway, and
it would not be long before the capital
now seeking to carry out the Ashtabula
& New Lisbon project would span with
iron the remaining thirty-eight miles TO
Ashtabula harbor. Who can doubt the
future of n road running tor nearly two
thirds OF its length through the richest
coal country on the continent, and hav-
ing almost exclusive shipping facilities
at its lake terminus More profitable
than the Mahoning Railway, because
the distance of transportation would be
shorter by twenty miles; more advanta-
geous to the public, because for nearly
fifty miles of its length it could devel-
ope mineral wealth short time since
almost unknown; more subscrvient to
the industrial interests of this section
because it would be controlled by no
soullessl gigantic monopolies-ths bril-
liant futurs which such project opens
up tor Youngstown and her tributary
regions is far in excess of our present
pros perity and growth. Youngstown
has only her part to do. When this is
done her future is assured

The Rev. J. p. Thompson, d. d., Of New
YORK, has contributed TO the New Englander''
an able paper, entitled How tobuild Nation
Among other elements OF free nationality the
suffrage question Is naturally discussed. DR.
Thompson has q very high opinion of woman,
but thinks that II they were allowed to vote
the men would be degraded, and they could
no longer view the fair sex with sentiments OF
honor, dellcacy and loyalty, II the ballot was
extended. Woman must choose between po.
li,ical emancipation and the consideration she
now receives. On another point connected
with the same subject DIR. Thompson says
1t 10 assumed that woman will bring TO
the polls soothing element and improve
the moral results of elections. On tho
contrary, her greater intensity Of feeling
for persons would bring 4 ksener acri.
mony into our political campaigns. We
can not fsrget how the women Of the
South melted the rebsllion and infiAmed
its hatred aud atrocity; nor that woman
produced the worst monstrositiss Of the
French revelation; nor can We shut our
eyes to the fact that ip great cities the
bridgsts would roll up the msjoritiSs OF
the dsmagoguss, and that Washington
would have It's Main ntenons and Pompa-
dours 10 add their iHtrigues to its politi.
cal corruptions. The history of Church
elections, in which Addresses had 4 voice,
Is . warning here. But the calamity Ia
be shunned is that mon, esasing TO RESPECT
and honor woman In their prerogative OF
influence, shall fear or oouit them as an
element of numerical powsr-for wher
the spirit Of ehivalry with its genera
!: loyalty Of sex is gone, tho glory of III,
ltepuSlic will be eKtinguishsd forever.

WEDpINe.---A very large ssscmblage gath.
erod at the house of J. d, HUBERT, Esq, on
Tuesday evening last in attendance upon the
marriage Of his second daughter, MARY, to A,
G. STeNE, Esq, of Lawrence, Massachusetts,.
The occasion was one of more than common
pleasure, from the number and character of
the guests, the genial and happy feeling that
prevailed. the rich and bountiful creature com
forts, and from the general respect and kindly
regard for the young couple thus starting upon
the Journey of life. Besides the usual interest
and enjoyment of wedding occasion, this
was heightened by the celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary Of Mr.. and Mrs
HULBERT-their Silver Wedding. This fea-
ture added much to the cxuberant happiness
of the occasion, by the congratulations ex-
tended to both parents and children. The
marriage ceremony was performed by the
Pastor of the Congregational Church, Rev.
EDWARD ANDERSON. After joining the young
couple, the Reverend gentleman, with his usual
felicitous and happy manner, turned to the
elder pair, who had plodded through twenty
FIVE years of conjuga life, fulfilling its various
duties so as to secure high place in the
esteem Of the community, the enjoyment of an
easy competence, the result Of diligence and
social and business probity, and who were
now permitted 70 see their children taking po.
sitions In the world that promise an adherence
to the same paths Of virtue and usefulness, and
addressed them with such words as were sug-
gested by the rare and unusual occasion. Still
another consideration added to the interest of
nj
the family were represented in the company.
The grand parents-Mr and Mrs JAMES
HALL-whose Golden Wedding was noticed
in our columns some months since, the parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. HUBERT, their children, of whom
were Mr.. and Mrs. ID. w. HASKELL, and their
infant child, making the grandchild, and fourth
generation. The groomsman was Mr.. NJ. II.
HASKELL, and the bridesmaid the younger sister
of the BRIDE Miss ANNA HULBERT.
Mr.. and Mrs. STONE left for Lawrence, their
future residence, on Wednesday, with many
earnest wishes for their welfare and happiness,
but with glistening eyes, that the society Of
one so cherished and beloved Was to be lost
to have an existence only among the pleasant
memories of the past.
The presents were numerous and of much
merit and value.
Another weddng-where the attendance
was even larger than ut the abOyc-came off
at the Congregational Church, on Wednesday
evening, at seven o'clock, the parties to which
were Mr.. RICHARD ]. HoRToN, of the firm Of
Horton & Hendry, and Miss NETTIE STRICK-
LAND. The church was packed with friends
and earnest spectators. Though the ceremony
was brief, it was appropriately solemn, and
gracefully easy and interesting The bride and
groom wrro attended by two couples-CHAR-
LEY ROBERTSON and Miss EMMA JANE FAs-
sETT, and BURT. Wilcox, of Morgan and Miss
RETTA ANDERSON. The parties left ON the
midnight train on their wedding tour.

THE N. Y. Methodist hasa touch of
good ssnse in discoursing on the essen
tial value of fresh mir. In regard to the
ventilation Of rooms, designed for public
assemblies there 10 too much indifferente Q,
and too little care The Methodist dis
courses on "fresh air as means of
grace" and says:
"Manya coed sermon has been spoil
cd for want OF fresh air during its de-
livery. The preacher has felt heavy and
the people drowsy; tho ono perhaps
blaming his flock for listlcssness, and the
other finding fault with the minister for
being so unintsrssting; whilo all the
time the fault is in the foul air.
Who has not noticed the deadening
effect Of bad air in q prayer meeting,
when held as such meetings often are, in
the basement of a church, room usual
ly built with hight OF ceiling absurdly
low in proportion to its size in such q
place, full OF people, the air becomes
vitiated in few minutes, and every
breath inhaled after that, is poison. We
have no doubt that many ministers have
broken down in health and gone to pre-
mature graves by reason Of preaching
and praying, night after night, for weeks
at a time, in badly ventilated rooms
Architects, building committees, trustees
and sections, ought to have some one to
remind them perpetually that fresh air is
vital necessity in churches. A living
gospel ought never 20 be preached in 4
dend atmosphere. Give us plenty Of
fresh air, and the preacher will preach
better, the brethren will pray better, tn,
brethren will sing better, all our meet
ings will be better attended, and fol
lowed by better consequences.
Give each one of us forty cubic inch
es of fresh air for every inspiration
and for ovsry minute OF the service
the eightssn pints TO which we are
justly entitled, according TO the doctors
and we shall complain less of languor
headaches, poor preaching, and dull meet
ings, and be less in danger of baeksliding
for we devoutly believe that fresh air il
the means of grace"

The PkRrs CONFERENCE, it is asserted,
has nearly brought its labors to close,
having met on the 10th for the purpose
of signing the declaration. We gather
something of the character of the conclu-
sions reached, by the tone of the Paris
Journals. She asks, as wa are informed,
that Greece, in the interest Of an Euro
poan peace, to suppress the bands and
vessels intended for incnTsions into the
ueighboring States of the Ottoman em-
pire, and conscls Turkey to withdraw
her ultimatum. II concludes By express
ing hopes OF a speedy renewal of diplo-
matte relations between Turkey and
Greece. The conference maintains the
policy of strict non-intervontion. While
the conference thus seeks TO tranquilize
these two bulegsrcnt parties, the
parties themselves, as the latest ad-
vices from Athens show that prepara-
tions for war are actively going on in
all parts ofGreece The banks of Athens
have loaned the government $40, 100000
for war purposes. ..... ....,.
