Mr.. KuGoUR's SPEECH AT PORTSMOUTH.
The Norfolk Journal in its account of the
Greeley and Brown meeting held in Portsmouth
on Tuesdey night, thus speaks Of the speech of
Mr. William Kilgour of this city: He
made grand speech in behalf of constitutional
liberty and political reform, and in his enthu-
siasm and wealth of language it is no extrava-
rance to say he fairly entranced his hearers
with the very sublmity Of impassioned oratory.
The effort was full of majestic and stirring
energy, and the rigorous truths enuu!ncated
produced profound and inetfaceablIe impress
s;nn ON the minds of all in the vast throng.

SENATOR SUMMERS RESOLUTIONS.

Mr.. Summers resolution to en-.
quire into the connection of the
American Government with sales of
arms to the French Government dur
ing the Franco-German war, created
a tiutter in the Senate. There was a
disposition to put it off under the plea
that it would arouse discussion and
postpone important business. Con
sidering the character of the debates
in that body during the past ten
years the suggestion of Mr.. Sherman
was amusing.
We are left somewhat in the dark
as to the nature of Mr.. Summers
statement as he did not conclude his
remarks, but there is enough to show
that the apprehensions of the Adj
mInlstratiOn Senators were we'll
founded. The Senator has introdu-
ced a bombshell into the Grant camp
of the most dangerous description.
This Government is now u more
by personal influences than political
convictions. The German element
is a powerful one. 1t holds the
balance of power in this country;
and II the Senator succeeds in show
ing that the Administration party
has heretofore obtained that vote by
false pretenses he will strike one OF
| the most effective blows at General
Grant that the genius of man is
capable of inficting. The Admins
tration Senators may well be
alarmed.

GROWLS FROM SALT LAKE.

The Gentiles at Salt Lake pOlled
nearly Goo votes. The Tribune says
that as Il rule no women voted the
National ticket" though it claims
that there are more American-born
women in that city on the National
side than on the Mormon side. had
they chosen to go to the polls-a
statement which to u ears, sounds
very improbable. The Tribune
claims that though You may find
Jack-Mormon men, there are no
Mormon women" This ex-
pressiye phrase Mormon is
used by the extreme Gentiles to des-
ignate the Gentiles who favOra mod
crate course, as Thos. Fitch, for
instance, Judge Hayden, Col. Buel,
etc. The Tribune claims that unit
ing this element, male and female,
and there could be cast over a tbous-
and true citizen votes, while at the
most, the Mormon side could not
cast more than fifteen hundred. in
Guiding the Jack-Mormon and the
ONE American born. Already
then the National party is a power
in the land. and will soon triumph
if granted a registration act for
Utah"
The Tribune also goes on to figure
out two thousand fraudulent votes
cast last Monday. It claims that
this can be established by the fact
that at the census OF 1870, the total
population OF the city was shown to
consist of 12,346 souls. while in the
beginning of 1872, five thousand
votes are polled. If from two to
three thousand women voted, we
don't think the enterprising Tribune
makes out a cast by that statement.
The proportion in the older States
between total population and the
number of voters, is usually about
one vote to five residents. The re-
suit is that city shows that the pro
portion there is not far from that of
the Eastern States.
We are not surprised however,
hat the Nationals, as they call them
selves, are disguised with the exhi-
bition. Elections Of this kind are a
glaring farce. Woman suffrage in
Utah, and everywhere else where it
has been tried, has not worked salts
factorily, and is growing into bad
repute.

Is THERE A JOB IN THE SNOW
BLOCKADE.


IRON the san Francisco fost.l
The three weeks blockade of the
Union Pacific road is beginning to
excite suspicious that the railroad
officials do not really want the track
cleared. 1t is true that the weather
has been bad; it is true that a large
force is engaged in shOveling snow,
but it is beginning to be suspected
that these laborers are not being di-
rected in such ann as would best
accomplish the work. We I in
formed by an old railroad man, who
came over the road with the last
through train, and who has had years
of experience in fighting snow, that
the stories of sand and earth being
mixed in with the drifting snow are
all humbug and that the original
difficulty has not been greater than
Is constantly met on roads running
through cold countries. He says
that the packing of the snow, of
which so much has been said, has
been caused by the railroad people
themselves. Instead charming their
locomotives with snowplows, they
drove them into it and Over it, with
their pilots, or GOV %catchers, at least
81 inches above the rails, by actual
measurement. The snow was at first
very light and dry, but by the time
two or three trains had passed over
it in this way, it had been compressed
into Il solid bed. which was harder
than ice. No neknows better what
should be done than the employees
OF the Union Pacific, who have been
fighting snow on the Chicago and
Northwestern. and other high latl-
tude roads for years and that they
have gone TO work in this way, raises
strong suspicion of a job. 1t Is not
difficult 10 imagine a motive for thus
blocking up the great highway for a
month. 1t may be that the great
railroad king, Tom Scott. who is now
President of the Union Pacific,
wishes to bull its stock and depress
its bonds, either as a move IN a
grand stock buying operation, or for
the purpose of buying in cheaply.
Or it may be that this blockade is
gotten mp to aid in selling the bonds
Of the Atlantic and Pacific road, IN
which Scott is largely interested.
The greatest impeachment to the sale
of these bonds in Europe is the ex-
istence of a parallel road. If it can
be shown that the existing road Is
useless in Winter, there will be much
more disposition to invest in the
bonds of the southern road.

ILLUsTRATED.-Ihe San Francisco

ILLUsTRATED.-The San Francisco
Chronicle says:
\ bill will shortly be introduced
to perpetuate the history of Cali
fornia in a series of large oil paint
ings to be placed in the rotunda OF
the Capitol, or in such other place
as the State Capitol Commissioners
may determine. The bill proposes
to authorize the payment of S23,oOU
to CT. J. Denny, the artist, for paint
ing six pictures, 6x10 feet; the sub
jects to be selected by the Commits
sioners. The pictures are to be
painted within two years, and to give
satisfaction or mo pay" Some OF
our un;esthetic Senators, like Minis,
McMurray and Larkin, are expected
to jump the proposition still
legged" on general principles.
Whether the State is quite prepared
to go into the picture business IS an
open question, but the fight will be
made against the bill Oh the grounds
of economy.

In a recent letter of John Quincy

In a recent letter of John Quincy
Adams, of Massachusetts,, he says:
l regard the present Admins
tration as a national calamity, a con.
tinuance of which should be averted
at almost any sacrifice, not because
it is Republican in politics, but be
cause it is mean in character, sordld
IN tone, corrupt and arbitrary be
cause, more than any we have had,
it has disappointed the hopes and
deadened the aspirations of the good
men of all parties ; because it is do
ing more to permanently dlsunlte
the States than the Government OF
Jefferson Davis ever did because
its chief can conceive of no means Of
free government but military force,
and no motive of public action but
private profit. Four years more of
such an education in family patron
age and martial law will SO blunt the
keen sensibilities of popular liberty
that our ignoble incubus might as
we'll remain a fixture.
