It is reported that ono Of the features Of
Washington society during the coming winter
will be the kiss Quadrille." Tho distinguishing
characteristic Of this movement is that, at the
command, "a Ia main Left" each gentleman
kisses his partner. It is presumed that the
quadrille is one Of that complicated kind in
which each gentleman takes each lady in
turn as partner during some portion
Of the dance, in which case everybody
would have an opportunity Of kissing everybody

is safe to conclude. under these circumstances,
that tho dance will henceforth be more may

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. o.
At two p. NJ. to day Governor Woods
appeared before the Legislative Assembly
ami read his message.
On the subject of marriage he deprecates
the violation of the Federal law on polyga-
my, and says if one class can violate one
law with impunity. and shield themselves
behind the bulwarks of religious liberation,
another class can do likewise with some
other law, and SO on, until religious dog
mas take the place of constitutions and
laws, and anarchy ensues. As Il friend of
the wEole people, and earnestly desiring
the prosperity OF all, urge you to lake
such stops as will establish harmony be-
tween Utah and the Federal Government,
the Territories are wards Of the Republic.
and as such are subject to the will Ipt Con
gress.
The Constitution guarantees freedom OF
conscience i'll religion, but it presumes that
all religious convictions shall he in harnO-
ny with supreme laws, otherwise there
would be national suicide. There is no
statue in Utah on marriage as it should be;
marriage may be sacrTiment, but it is
none the less civil contract. This is the
established doctrine of the Republic, and
shall be So regarded in the Territory.

Irishmen and the Tariff.

One of the strangest anomalies of Ameri-
can politics is the blank stupidity with
which 50 many of the Irish voters support
the party Of British free trade. England
crushed Ireland by destroying the tariff
laws; yet curiously enough, Irshmen
support the Democratic party, that favors
the same policy here. Tue abolition, or
even reduction of the tariff, means the re-
duction of wages, the destruction of Ameri-
can manufactures, the enrichment of Eng
land, and thus, the tightening other grasp
on Ireland. We believe our Irish friends
would not knowingly relish this, as they
would undoubtedly be the principal suffer-
ers. We find that many of them preceive
matters in this light, and it is time they
did. John NJ. Moriarty is the author of n
very excellent petition to Congress in favor
OF the tariff, which is obtaining the sigma
lures of numerous Irishnen. We hope our
manufacturers and business men will give
a wide circulation to this petition, which if
numerously signed cannot fail to have a
very good effect upon Congress in the re-
vision of the tariff. If Irishmen are once
set right on the side of protection, there
will I've an end to tariff tinkcring in the
future, and our Legislators will be able to
devote more time to other much needed re.
forms. Philddelphid Post,

after the result was announced, was sere-
naded by the great Western Band, accom-

Mr.. Mackey, In response, expressed his
thanks, and said that his election this year
wac appreciated more fully from the fact
that it had been reached without any soil
citation on his part, and it would be his
effort in the future, as it had been in the
past, TO protect the finances of the State,
and at the end Of his term to retire with
the only ambition that he coveted, viz
that of having done his duty faithfully.

SToP THIEF.-We notice that the Demo-
cratic County Standing Committee have
already raised the cry Of ''stop thief. In
their proceedings of Inst week we notice the
following:
Any candidate attempting to bribe
Delegate, OF any Delegate receiviEga bribc,
shall be expelled from the Couvcution.n
Although sternly denied by the Demo
cratic papers of the county. this is n fair
and open confession that bribery and cor
ruption existed heretofore in that party.
How will our neighbor Of the Democrat
excuse himselfnow. after urgently request
ing to have the names OF his fellow Demo
Gratis noted down, who were unwilling to
vote for the ticket last fall nominated by
bribery and fraud. Surely party that is
compelled TO warn its candidates against
these practices, and intimate to delegates
that they were likely to be bribcd, must be
in an uncomfortable state. Wien members
ola party have become so corrupt that it
must be published to the world that they
must cease accepting brides, that party
cannot censure honorable men when
they leave Off their associations and ioin
those not addicted to such obnoxious habits.
Is it likely, that, if these practices have
been in force heretofore, that it will cease
through the adoption olthe delegate system,
when we see the same parties looking foI
the offices that have been trained to sucl
practices for the last eight on ten years past
Is it likely if they would see a chance, thai
they would refuse to take the advantage O
their competitors. Has it not been tho

The Philadelphia Press speaking of this
tragedy says:
"Fisk's death, in all its tragic and wretch
ed features, is an impressive lesson for the
hour. His life and example have been
bancful. and the manner Of his taking of
was perhaps needed to point the moral for
the thoughtlcss and easily dazzled. With
all his seemingly brilliant success, with all
his wonderful tact and power, with all his
resistless energy and inlinity of resource,
his life has been n misspcnt, fruitless, dis
appointed one. lie achieved nOtoriety
at the cost Of character. and everything he
plucked turned to ashes in his hands. it
is well for our youth to learn that all APP
parent success purchased at the cost Of
conscience is worthless, that the respect of
good men is better than riches, that CON
spicuousness may only by vugarity and
shut the doors of society instead Of open
ing them. With all his power and retinue
of servants and sycophants, Fisk was man
without influence for influence is the
measure of confidence had in the person
exercising it, and rests on moral fOunda-
ton. With all his money and ships and
titles, reputable society had barred its
doors against him, and he was literally
driven to the company Of the outcast and
homeless.
On the market to-day Fisk's death will
be recorded in the figures of the stock lis!.
His reckless daring and speculative tact led
him To dabb!e in nearly every operation,
and his style of dabblng was wild dash

and death is plainly read. We're Mr.
