rRAeE-A CALICO CHARGE ON THE POLLS.
We received the following interesting letter
from friend who, in visiting the new mines,
stopped few days in Salt Lake City, and
writes under date of August 9th:
Ed WORLD: Yesterday Orson Pratt, one OF
the leading Mormon Apostles, preached ser.
mon in the Tabernacle here on the theme OF
vanity, taking his text from st. John, On. IL
v. 30 and 81 1t was political harangue, ex-
horting all the Mormons, men and women, TO
vote the straight-out Mormon ticket. he has
as much right to make such political speech
in the pulpit as his compeer, Beecher. has TO
desecrate Brooklyn pulpit.
Well. TODAY the Territorial election came
on. and as you are aware, by Act of February
10, 1870, "every woman of the age of 81 years,
who has resided in the Territory six months,
&C., born or naturalized in the United States,
or who is the wife, widow or daughter OF q

States, shall be entitled to vote at any election
in this Territory" Accordingly, soon after the
polls were opened, and all day, we had splen

They came up to the scratch like veterans. an

one was challenged. The Mormons wouldn't,
and gallantry forbid the Gentiles. One OF the

the split-ticket, but am sure it was straight
up-and-down Mormon. Among the voters,
saw an aged widow whose husband was buried
only two or three days ago. Perhaps she was
one of four or five wives and thus survives
with divided grief.
There is an opposition ticket called the " Lib

CONFISCATION BY TAXATIoN.-A negro
in Texas, who is a candidate for Congress in
that State, recently made a speech, in which
he used the following language:
much is said about taxes, and the Demo
Gratis say they are groaning under them. Glad
of it. Let them groan.
If there is any virtue IN taxation, we will tax
and tax, until we tax them out of their lands"
This negro appears to speak the sentiments
of Southern Radicals. They complain bitterly
of the failure of Congress to confscate the prop
erty of the Southern people and divide it up
between the negroes and carpet-baggers; and
they propose, having no property of their own,
as they have control of the State Governments.
to tax Southern Democrats out Of their lands
and thus bring about confscation indirectly"
Senator Warner, thieving carpet-bagger in
Mississippi, has given utterance to similar SEN
timents, and the present condition of the
finances of nearly all the Southern States. with
the rates of taxation indicate that this system
OF confscation is being generally adopted and
carried out by the negroes and pet-baggers
of the South. 1t is not to be wondered at that
Horace Greeley, or any other decent man,
should be thoroughly Disguised with his par
ty brethren in that unfortunate section of our
country.

A FAILURE.-Thers can no longer be any
doubt of the failure Of the new loan. Negoti-
ations carried on at great expense at the great
money centres in Europe have failed, and the
subscriptions to the loan in this country have
dwindled down to such Insignificant figures
that even Secretary Boutwell, himself, at whose
instance the new funding bill was passed by
Congress, is forced to admit that it is an up
hill business endeavoring to induce people to
surrender Government bonds for new issue
of the same securities bearing q less rate OF
interest. Few men who have loaned money
at six or seven per cent. will voluntarily ac-
cept lower rate when they are sure of get
ting more. Leading Democrats predicted the
failure of BOutwell's scheme, and for so doing
were denounced as hostile to a measure which
was designed to tighten the burdens of taxa
ton by reducing the amount of interest paya-
BILE semi-annually on the public debt While
admitting the benefits which would flow from
practicability of the scheme and opposed it for
that reason. Congress, however, endorsed
the views of Mr.. Boutwell,, and the result has
been just what Democrats anticipated-an ut
ter and disgraceful failure of the financial pol
icy of the present Administration. About
eight hundred thousand dollars of the public
funds have been squandered in printing the
new bonds and advertising the loan, and yet
the telegraph informs us that Secretary Bout
well is not fully satisfied of the failure of his
"polcy." 1t has been reported that he GEN.
sures the National Banks for their refusal to
their deposits of old bonds and &c
cepr those OF the new issue. Banking corpora
tons, like individual capitalists, are not prone
to allow patriotism to curtail their profits, and
will not yield up two or three per cent. per
annum on their investments in Government Sc
curities merely to crafty the Secretary of the
Treasury by an endorsement of his crude and
financial theories. Congress, at its
next session, will, no doubt, be favored with
some new suggestions from this would-be
" Nick Biddle," and more time and money will
be wasted in tinkerng up Mr.. Boutwell'S great
scheme Of perpetuating" national debt.

SOUND ADvICE.-Two negroes were re-
Gently hung for murder in North Carolina and
one of them made a speech, confessng his
guilt of the crime of which he had been con-
victed, and he gave the assembled crowd of
negroes some wholesome advice. He advised
them to steer clear of the Radical party, and
used the following language: There is party
called the Union party-the Radical party.
They never do us no good. They do us harm.
Theymake usdo nleanhings." That negro told
the truth in his dying declaration, and many
white men, as well as negroes, would do well
by following his advice and renouncing their
allegiance to that corrupt political organiza-
ton.

UNSUITABLE SUICIDE.-An Oregon paper
contains, among its telegraphic dispatches, an
item, stating that q young man named Stucey,
machinist at Headsburg, California, recent
ly committed suicide by shooting himself through
hopeless disease of the throat, which justified
the act" That is what we call carrying the
Mosaic code to extremes. "If an eye offend
thee pluck it out" Now if your life is bur-
den, shoot yourself through the head.

RADICAL ADMIssIoNs.--The Now York Sun,

RADICAL ADMIsSIONs.--The Now York Sun,
one of the leading Radical journals, whose
columns are not subsidized by government pat
ronage, tells some plain truths about Grant
and his administration, and frequently gives
some home thrusts to the Radical party gener-
ally. In late issue of the San an article ap-
peared entitled, The Impending Ruin of the
Republic" which contains more truths in o
small space than we have seen in Radical
paper for many day. The carpet-baggers
who rob and plumber the South are denounced
as unprincipled adventurous. who are encour-
aged in their scopndrelism by the national adj
mipistratiop. The S9n acknowledges that "lax
Interpretations of the Constitution. and the
Wrestling therefrom of unwarranted powers
are gradually changing the form of the Gov
ernment" That is just exactly what the De-
mocracy charge upon the Radical party-the
abolition of State rights, the obiteration OF
State lines, and the Capitalization of all pow
ers in Congress and the Administration. A
strong central government is the Radical
theory; while Democrats oppose any such
change. or any change at all, in the form Of
the government. The San says that honesty
among public servants has almost become an
obsolete phrase, and that Grants ideas of the
Constitution are so latitudinarian that it may
well be doubted whether he has any ideas at
all on the subject; that he does not hesitate
for moment to "wield almost kingly powers
without warrant from the Constitutions" and
as to money matters that "his administration
is VIGOROUSLY the most venal in our history"
The Sun admits truths which are self-evdent.
Grants imbecility and corruption have become
as "a stencil in the nostrils of the people," and
the alarming inroads made on the Constitution,
by the party in power, afford substantial
grounds for the people to fear that, in few
years more under Radical rule, there will be
very little, if any, of the old Constitution left

STAMPED ENVELOPES ILLEGAL-AttOrney
General Alderman has recently given a writ
ten opinion to the Post Master General to the
effect that, under the act of March 3, 1871, en-
titled, "An act, making appropriations for the
service of the Post Office Department for the
year ending June 80, 1872 and for other pur-
poses," the universally of the language
forbids that any letters, devices, marks or
characters should be printed upon envelops
furnished for the Post Office Department ex-
Gept the "return request" and that the envel-
opes should be perfectly blank, without litho-
graphing or engraving, with the exception of
the "return request" If the opinion is cor
rect, stamped envelopes are of no use, and peo-
pie will be obliged to fall back on the old pos
tage stamp practice. The opinion was given
in response to request made by the Post
Master General, who desired to know whether
tho printing of black lines upon envelopes, for
the purpose of facilitating the writing of the
address or superscription upon the face, was in
conflict with the act of Congress referred to.
After Alderman had given this opinion, the
Post Master General requested an opinion ON
the same matter of NJ B. Field, Esq, an EN-.
inent New York lawyer, who was formerly As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury under Chase's
administration. Mr.. Field, in his opinion,
concurs with Alderman in regard to the print
ed marks or lines, which assist persons to di
rect their letters by writing in a straight line,
and even went farther in saying that the water
marks Up. O. D." to be easily distinguished in
the postal envelopes, by holding them up to the
light, are covered by the opinion of the Attor-
ney General and also abolished; but Mr.. Field
does not concur in the opinion of the Attorney
General as to the stamp being prohibited, and
refers to the emitting of the clause of the ap-
preparation to which it applies, which is "for
stamped envelopes and postage stamps"
