strength of the Mormons and weak
ems the government. Furthermore,
it will never do to- allow the princi-
pie to grow up in this republic that
the most abominable crimes, if they
only assume the convenient hypo-
critical guise of religion, are to be
shielded and protected by the con-
stitutional provisions concerning
the liberty of conscience. It has
become necessary for the govern
ment to assert, and to seal the truth
in blood, if it must so be, that this
republic knows something of law as
well as of liberty, and that it will
not tolerate libidnous license with
whatever divinity it may hedge it
self about. Liberty has it's limita-
tons, and the government can safe
ly permit no community to do vio-
lence to the fundamental principles
of progress. If Abraham and Isaac
and Jacob had many wives, in this
respect they may not be initiated
here, The basis of our political
system is Ionogamy, as it is of civ
illzation the world over, and every
thing antagonistlc to this principal
must go to the wall. This is an
American principle to which every
citizen and alien within our borders
must do homage. And in this sense
Mr.. Cullom's bill goes to the root
of the matter. 1t puts the brand of
civil and political infamy upon po-
lygamy. 1t prohibits all polyga-
mists, wherever found, from serving
as Jurors, and deprives them Of the
right of suffrage. 1t pronounces
polygamy, what it already is in all
the states, such an infamous crime
as forever bars one from public
honor and from civil rights. Under
this bill jury might be found to
convict, jury to condemn, and a
sheriff to execute, which now is i'm
possible in Utah. The friends of
aggressive measures claim that the
influence of advancing civilization
tends rather to increase the strength
of polygamy than to threaten its
overthrow. Like Ri, helieu, the
chief of the Mormons seems to be
drawing the awful circle Of his
church about him, within which the
shrek of the civilizing locomotive
is never heard. AS the tide of emf
grafton rolls westward the tyranny
of the religious despotism in Utah
is increased. Freedom of action
has ceased to exist. An edict has
been promulgated that the people
shall only trade at Mormon stores,
and the consequence is that Gen
tile merchants have become bank
rupt and exiles. In Salt Lake City
alone, seventeen Gentle stores,
which hitherto have conducted a
prosperous business, have been
closed within month, and in other
towns where the number of such
stores a year ago was ten or twelve,
there are now none whatever. Trade
and commerce with the Gentiles,
Instead of being increased by the
Pacific Road is more restricted than
before, indeed, is practically extin-
guished. So that there seems to
be no hope except from the strong
arm. IL ..

) Revoitinq Tragedy.

MIpDLErowE, N. Y, Feb, 1s, 10. =,
! A most horrible and revolving
tragedy was enacted at the village of
Phillipsp ort, Sullivan County, on
Saturday last, an inhuman fiend in
the shape of a woman cutting the
throat Of her own-child~an interest
ing girl fonr years DID, The woman
was the wife of a man pamedDaniel
Tice,a laborer on the Midland Rail
road. The husband was at this work
at the time the tragedyiswas 1colms
mitted, and the wife and two Child
rem wefe alone at the house. ] The
eldest, a boy Of about ten years OF,
age, was sent out of, the house by
his mother to do some e'schores.r
After he had left, Mrs. Tice took
the little girl and laid her neck
across an open trunk, and holding
her in that position, cut her throat
from ear to ear, almostsevering the
head from the body. The boysoon-
returned and found the mother ly-.
ing on the floor by the child. Ae
alarmed the neighbors, and when
they arrived she was in the same
position. She was placed upon a
bed, where she lay moning for a
long time. An Office took her lin
charge and she has been locked up
at Monticello. Ge,s SIS 3o. " s.
Various rumors are afioatT as to
the woman's motive for committing
the crime. "A gentleman who was
at the house short time after the
deed was committed, saws that she
stated that she killed the child to
spite her husband; as he thought a
great deal of the little girl. Another
says that she did it because she ex-
pected to die soon, and then if her
husband should marry again the
child would be abused. be All the
neighbors say that she has a very
vicious and morose disposition, and
some say that she ndd her husband
have never lived pleasantly togeth-
Ter Most of the neighbors believe
the woman to be sane. ga5f a+.--'si Il

flash of inspiration, discovers it to
their admiring gaze. In what does
Mungen's honesty consist? In not

lowing a friend to make merchand-

the case that he absolutely forgot tc

chinery, combined with human hand
could produce. He was shown a
number of superfne needles, thou
sands of which together did not
weigh half an ounce, and maryled
how such minute objects could be
pierced with an eye. But he was
to see that in this respect something
stin finer and more perfect, could be
created. The borer-that. is the work

ewes in these needles-asked for hair
from the monarch's head. It was

bishops, who sign everything in
favor Of Infallibility that is presen-

those whose opinions are supposed

been to unite with that portion of
the Freneh clergy most devoted to
Roman interests, in another postu-
latum, demanding. the solemn con-

Gallicari paftys which they propose
shall be declared heretical. It will
