WHY HE WOULD NOT COME TO VIRGIL
MA TO KEEP SHEEP.

A gentleman from New York, whom we
met to-day, stated that on his way to
Washington, he encountered friend who
was on his way West, and about to engage
largely in sheep-raising. ''But why," said
our informant, ''do you not 60 to Virginia,
where lands arc cheap and the climate mild
and healthful for sheep ?" The only reply
was "DOGS"!! Nearly every farmer in
Virginia will make the same answer when
asked why he does not keep sheep
That simple monosylable describes the
bane of our agriculture. Sterility will
curse our State till we turn our attention
more to grass and stock, and especially to
sheep. The sheep is the best friend of
the small farmer. 1t feeds him, clothes
him, manures his land, clears it of noxious
weeds and useless briars, and fits it for
vigorous and paying crops. But this poor
mans friend, so gentle and useful, is
driven away from us by savage beasts of
prey, kept for no earthly use by portion
of our people.

WE understand that, if "the uniform
decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States has been that State may issue
bonds with coupons receivable for taxes,
and that subsequent Legislature can't re-
peal IT," there is probably some lawyer
within thousand miles of Richmond who
can refer us to the authorities. Most of
the uniform decisions" of the Supreme
Court have been SO collated in judicial
form that they can be easily referred to in
the textbooks. Let's have 'em.

history of the Mormon troubles, that much
of the indignation against them grew out of
the care with which they guarded the vir-
tue of woman, and their resistance to the
expensive vices of miscalled civilization.
What is to be thought of court which
finds law to sentence a man to imprison-
ment for marrying two women, but which
releases men and women living in promis-
euous lasciviousness under the same laws.
The claim of such court for payment of
expenses, is very properly refused, and we
hope to record that Congress has taken up
this matter in earnest, and effectually
squelched this contemplate combination of
religious intolerance and brutal lust, in
their savage attack upon people who, at
worst, are the victims Of religious delu-
sion whose vices are at least no greater
than those Of other communities, and whose
industry, frugality, temperance, and re-
gard'for the welfare of their children, arc
matters of favorable remark by all unpre-
JUDGED travellers who have visited Utah.
That just and conciliatory course will
bring these erring fellow-citizens Of ours to
the true faith, we fully believe. That per-
secution will strengthen and extend their
influence, is as certain as anything well car
be in the nature of things.

We understand that If the Legislature repeats
the coupon clause Of the funding bill, it will be
set aside by the courts.--Eaquirer.
The Legislature, in one of its branches,
has repealed the coupon clause of the fund
ing bill, and it is understood that the other
branch will Ego and do likewise" And
now it remains to be seen whether the
courts of the State do as our contemporary
understands" they will. By the way,
sohat judges upon ,ohat benches in the State
are thus "posting" the Enquirer man in
advance Of their Judicial decisions?

We understand that the widows and orphans
OF the State own about ~ 10000 of State bonds,
on which they have not received cent of interest
for several years-Bnquirer.
We understand that where there is one
widow or orphan in the State who owns
one dollars worth of State bonds, there are
hundred other widows and orphans who
don't own any. And we understand that
our understanding Of the matter is just one
hundred per cent. nearer the mark than
the Es,ouirer's.

THE UTAH TROUBLES

Alexander Majors, Esq, of the firm Of
IIajors, Waddams & Russell, is at pre-
sent in Washington in company with del
esation from Utah. This delegation, en-
tirely composed of persons who do not be-
long to the Mormon church, unite in de-
bouncing and deprecating the late action of
Judge Mexican. They speak in glowing
terms Of the future prospects of the terri
tory, if undisturbed by prejudiced sectarian
interference, under the color of law. They
say Judge Mexican has acted without pro-
per warrant of law in the interest of par
ties who seek to foment discord in the hope
of securing private advantage. Mr.. Majors
states, that within the past six months
gambling shops, houses of prostitution and
drinking saloons have multiplied rapidly
Under the protection and encouragement Of
the especial guardians of virtue who APP
pear before McKean's court. The vile
,cum of the borders have collected to fatten
upon the ruin of the Mormons. The vices
which were held in restraint by them
appear to run riot as the power of the
church wanes. He further says that, pre-
rious to the arrival of Joe Johnston's army,
tlere was not drinking house in all Utah.
Vicious resorts were unknown. The peo-
pie were too busy to think of cards or
strong drink. Until recently these things
were rare, and no man who INDUCED in
them held position among the Mormons.
This class of men who insist upon putting
down polygamy by the strong arm Of the
law, are, in fact, establishing the worst
forms Of vice in Utah.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.


The WoaAYs JoURSAL.-The friends of woman
suffrage, who wish to keep the issue clear from
entangling alliances with other reforms and the
endless host of individual whims and yagaries--
who would pursue it with the same singleness of
aim that marks the movement in England, and
the temperance and other special reforms in this
country, have established weekly paper the
Woman'a Journal, published in Boston and Chi
cago, and edited by Mrs. Livermore, Mrs. Lucy
Stone Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mr.. VIM. Lloyd

accomplished friends of the cause. The W0-
mans Journal is a fair and attractive paper in
appearance, while the variety and spirit of its
articles, and the dignity, selfrespect, good
humor, and earnestness Of its tone, will show
how profoundly mistaken are those who suppose
that folly and extravaganza are necessarily char
acteristc of the discussion of the question. The
Journal is indispensable to those who would

THE GENEVA CONFERENCE.

We will not "holler' before we are out of
the woods. The obstacles that have arisen
during the attempt to settle the Alabama
controversy are too fresh in our memory
to permit us to announce the arrange
ment of that matter as thing accomplish
ed. Even if the report be true that the
Arbitrators at Geneva have awarded three
or three and half millions sterling DAM
ages for our losses, yet we are bound to
consider thatit has not yet been paid that
England has not yet accepted the verdict
and may endeavor to escape through some
of the loop-holes that diplomacy so fire.
quently leaves open. We will not antici-
pate, and should certainly, for gravest rea-
sons, deprecate any such result. But
should such result obtain, should it even
become again an open question, to be an
swered only by the dread arbitrament of
war, still the page that records the history
of the effort to secure peaceful and blood
less adjustment of our difficulty with Eng
land will be ever of priceless worth. The
expenditure attendant upon it is not to be
considered for moment. There can be no
monied equivalent.
It is equally unimportant whether the
award of the Arbitration is equal to the in
jury inflicted by the English cruisers. In
this report we have no idea that either
party will be fully satisfied. One will say
the consequential damages should not have
been thrown overheard, and the other will
say they have bought peace at too high a
price; but this feeling will be brief; swal
lowed up in the important consideration
of the fact of settlement itself.
