Two Nice Watchmen.
A Washington dispatch saws:

George H. Chase, messenger of the
Postoffice Department, and Frank McGraw,
watchman at the State Department, have
been arrested on the charge of rObbing the
latter department of number of gold and
silver treaty seals. The accused, on being
taken to police headquarters, finding that
the detectives were in possession Of the pro
ceeds Of their guilt, confessed to the larceny
Of seven seals, which they had melted and
sold, and earnestly begged that they be
dealt leniently WITH as it was their first of
tense.
Acting under the direction of the prison
ers the detectives recovered a number of
gold and silver nuggets, which they were
assured were what remained Of the seals,
which they confessed to have stolen several
weeks ago The department claims that
ten seals have been stolen, as that number
are missing. One of the seals was attached
to a Turkish treaty. one to the German con-
vention. and others to different treaties be-
tween the United States and foreign coun.
tries. The seals, most of which were gold
We're inclosed in circular boxes, some gold
and others silver. about an inch high and
from three to five inches in diameter. Their
money value is of course not of so much con-
sideration as the embarrassment under
which the government necessarily labors to
replace them on the important documents
from which they were stolen. The value of
the melted silver received is SIS. while that
of the gold is several hundred dollars. 1t
is roughly estimated that the money value
OF the stolen seals is between $500 and $500.

An Opinion of PolyGamy.

SALT LAKE, September 2.-In relation to
the challenge and rejection of Elders George
Cannon, II. B. Clawson and James Town
send as grand Jurors, they having testified
that polygamy is one of the fundamental
doctrines of the church of which they are
members, that they believe that poly gamy
Is revelation of God to that church. and
that they do not believe that q man living
in polygamy is guilty Of adultery, Chief
Justice Mexican has just pronounced the
following opinion: The sophism BY which
polygamy is sought to be justified as being
in harmony with American civilization is
that polygamy is a religious practice; that
religious tOleratlon is one OF the funda.
mental principles of the federal constitution
that therefore polygamy is protected by the
constitution, and all laws enacted against il
axe unconstitutional. If the masses of
the American people were barbarians: if
the patriarchal or the liberal system of
needless to say that our constitution and
institutions could not exist 1t is not a
little hu1niliating that it should seem to he
necessary to add that our constitution and
institutions do not require, nay, do not per
init, the federation of any practice which
wages war against the existence of civiliza-
ton. There have been religions which re-
quired them to offer up human sacrifices to
the sun and casting infant children to croco-
dlles OF the Ganges, but if such deeds were
done IN this country, is there in all the land
one man SO dishonest that he would sttemut
tojustify them by the plea of religious toler-
alton! But why waste time in DISCUSSING
such proposition rs that involved in this
case. When the burglar is a fit Juror to in
4nir,e into crimes Of burglary; when the
robber is fit juror to inquire into the crime
OF larceny; when the assassin is q fit Juror
to inquire into the crime of murder. then
the biSamlst who swears in substance that
crimes are his religion, may be fit Juror to
inquire into the crimes of bigamy and adnI.
terry. But, thanks to the centuries of Chris
tan civilization, that time is not now. and
Judging from the steady progress of the
human race, that time will never come
The challenge is sustained, and the three

There is some talk of the presence of vel
low fever at Cedar Keys, in Florida, and at
New Orleans. The disease at Cedar KEYS
appears to have presented itself at first as
malarial fever, which afterward devel-
oped into yellow fever, as certified to by a
physician OF high standing, from Gaines
vile. Florida, who went to the Keys to at
tend sick patient there who is said to have
died of yellow fever. The statement that
the yellow fever prevails in New Orleans
is doubtless false alarm. 1t is based upon
private dispatch said to have been re-
celved in Cincinnati from New Orleans, and
which. says Cincinnati paper, announces
that the yellow fever has again visited
New Orleans, and that its vixulence is equal
to that OF any of its preceding visits: hun
dreds, according to our informant, have
been stricken down, and but small pro
portion OF the number attacked have re-
covered" This statement is extraordinary
IN view Of the fact that the New Orleans
city papers make no mention of the disease
there, and it may, therefore, be put down
as false. Should the fever, however. mani;
fest itself in that city, it is fortunate that
the season is already so far advanced that
Its ravages would soon be checked by the
cool weather. The same rule, we hone
will hold good in the case of Natchez
vicksburg and at other points along the
river, where telegraplIic dis
patches announce the presence of the dis.

Stop It..
From the Attakapas Register.


We have watched with considerable in
terest the progress Of the educational de
partlnent Of the State government. and
have repeatedly commended its acts, and
we are still ready and willing to do so when
they shall merit it. We are now com
PEELED to censure, but hope that our censure
may assist rather than impede its work.
1t began under great difficulties: it is the
result of partisan tight. and the Repub-
lcan party fathered it and is now RESPONSE
ble for its conduct and success. 1t was
never the intention OF the Republican party,
however, to establish partisan schools. Su
perlntendent Conway mas justly appointed
school directors and officers in many in
stances without regard TO party or race. He
has called to his aid eminent teachers hay
ing in view no other consideration than
their fitness and appreciation of the work
BY this conservative spirit he has SO far de-
stroyed the animosities which confronted
him as to be able to extend the work of his
department into parishes where. otherwise.
it would have been an impossibility to es-
tablish public school or send division su-
perintendent. The best citizens of all classes
by this means becoming convinced that the
department was not political machine,
but an institution for the general public
good, have given it their hearty co-Opera-
ton. And this is as II should be.
We regret 10 observe, since the late
troubles i'll the Republican party, that such
men as Hon. J. Henri Burch. of Baton
Rouge, a member of the House and a
champion OF the school bill at the last ses-
sion: Hon. Anthony Overton, of Ouachita.
a member of the House Committee on Pub
lie Education. and Hon. A. J. Sypler. OF
st. Mary. a State senator who voted for the
school bill, should be removed for no other
than partisan reasons. To say nothing
about the violation of the intent, spirit and
letter of the law under which these gentle
men We're elected school directors, we would
still protest against such arbitrary action
on the part OF the State Board of Pub
lie Education. We hold that when
school officer meets all the requirements
of the law. can not be charged
with negligence or incompetency. and
is friend of education. that it would be
quite as appropriate to remove him for his
opposite religious as well as political views
to those held by his superior officers. In
either case it would be violation of popu-
lar and well conceived notions of repub-
licanism Besides either effort would seri-
Ously retard the school work bv creating a
host of enemies where no necessity exists
for them. 1t is a disorganiZin. influence,
and we ask the press Of the State to Join us
in this protest.
Let it be understood that the department
of education is above the broils and tur-
molls of political strife, and that it is de-
voted alone to the nobler and better duties
pertaining to the imparting of knowledge
to the neglected youth of the State. 1t Will
then become the common pride and receive

We copy the following from Western dis
patches:
The vote on candidates for governor has
inst been declared. William B. Washburn
is nominsted BY vote 0t CAB TO .464 for But
ler. The scene that ensued when the vote
was declared is indescribeble. Cheer after
! cheer rent the air. Washburn men were
seen in all parts Of the hall congratulating
each other, while little was seen or heard of
the Butler men.
General Butler declares that he accepts
the action of the convention as final, and
agrees to stand by the result. This state
ment was received with cheers on the floor,
but there was little demonstration in the
4 galleries. where Buffers friends have been
very demonstrative during the day.
Resolutions were adopted:
l. Declaring that the Republicans of
Massachusetts give their renewed adherence
to the great principles of the Republican
party, and pledge their support in enforcing
| all laws in every part of the land in the
payment Of the national debt, reducing tax
alton and reforming civil service.
2. 1ndOrsing the present national admin
istratiOn.
3. Declaring the reform party of Massa-
| chusetts has been and is the party of pro-
gress, and indOrsing the present and past
Republican administration of the State gov
ernment.
4. Calling upon Congress to enact such
laws as snail restore ship building and ship
owning interests to health and prosperity.
5. Declaring the Republican party of
Massachusetts is mindful of its obligations
to the loyal women Of America for their
patriotic devotion to the cause of liberty,
and reioices at the action of the Legislature
of the State in recognizing the fitness OF
women for public trusts, and that the sub
.iect of women is one that deserves the most
careful and respectful consideration.
6. Indorsing the administration Of Gov
ernor Claflin.
Z. That the Republican party will do its
best to elevate the condition and wages of
the :laboring portions of its citizens by
full and searching inquiry into facts bearing
upon their condition, and by such legisla-
ton as that inquiry shall show to be for
their advantage; having respect to the judg-
ment of labOrers of the commonwealth
themselves, as to what measures are beet
adapted to their wants.
The president was directed to notify Mr..
Washburn of his nomination and ask his
acceptance.
The remainder of the State ticket was
made up as follows: j. p. Tucker, ieuten-
