THE MORMON DELEGATE.

A Washington dispatch says that
there IL little doubt that Geo. q. Can
non. the polygamou, delegate to Con-
gress from Utah, will be expelled.
The Committee on Elections, to
whom was referred the consideration
OF the charges made against him. will.
II 1, said. report la favor Of his expul-
sion. A large majority OF Congress.
mcn are reported as desirou, OF voting
for his expulsion, aud the only ques-
tisn Ia. whether IL requires a simple
majority or a two.thirds vote to kick
him out. The general opinion seems
Ia be that In the case Of n Territorial
Delegate. who IL not a Constitutional
officer, a majority Is sufficient. II Is
certainly to be hoped that this prom
luent representative Of a system which
ages ago was banished from all pro-
xressslve peoples, aud which, resur-
rected Ia the nineteenth century, Il n
rsproach to our civilization, aad n
standing to the moral
culture OF the age will not be suffered
to retain a representative position In
the Congress Of this nation, and thus
become tho exponent not alone OF the
peculiar class Of misdlrected people
for whom no claims sponsorship, but n
member OF the highest OF the three CO.
ordinate departments OF this Govern
ment. The expulsion OF Cannon will
be the entering wedge which, let US
hope, will Ia a few years eradicate
from this nation a relic Of barbarlsm
second only to slavery. We are Ia
favor Of no sweeping legislation to-
ward Utah which will render mothers
harlots and children bastards, but the
practice OF polygamy should DO stop
ped aud arrangements DO made to so
lesalize existing marriages rs to In
sure 4 fair distribution OF family as
sets. But some a may suggest :
What In such case would become Of
the husband? Who OF his numerous
wives would be entitled to lay claim
upon him? In IA opinion this IL n
question OF no gravity whatever. The
great majority Of men whose in'tincts
lead them to polygamou, relations are
Of too little value to justify their wives
In asserting a claim for them. But to
settle any possible dispute, a quiet
game OF seven up might be INDUCED
In. the winner, or II thu claimants
number moro than two. the champion
to be adjudged possessor OF the pelyg-
amous patriarch. We charge nothing
for this hint.

EsIrGRANrs FROM EUROPE.

count It q good radiance when hum
dreds Of thousands Of labsring men are

tide OF emigration has assumed such
vast proportions that thinking msp are
locking at the subject In a very differ

Ter says: "The United States are pay

the envy and despair Of old.fashlonsd,

No cunning alchemy, no juggle Of n

zled aud delujed Engllshmen, can be
accountable Tor the substantial dlmln-
ution Of tho American debt" And
the Courier accounts for 1t by showing
that the average value Of our lmml.

over $500, aud that from this source
alone we reap m unearnsd profit oil
G 1000, 900 per annum. Aud, on tho
other hand, we do rs much and more
good to the immigrants than they do

lug only grief and hope, aud
