pOIYGAMT IN TAR

From the Washington Republican, April Is.
81 know that you come to hear me
from curiosity. 1 do not know why
there should be anything curious in my
being the nineteenth wife of Brigham
Young. Polygamy IS sanctioned by
you in the National councils. While
George o. Cannon, of Utah, a poly
gamyist with four wives, sits there, the
peer of delegates from the other terri.
tories, Congress is responsible for the
system which makes a plurality of
wives possible in the Mormon country"
Such were the ringing words with
which Mrs. Young opened her address
to an audience last evening composed
largely Of members of Congress and
their families. They had an electrical
effect. They were earnestly uttered,
and they were unhappily true. The
Republican party in Congress is re-
sponsible for the existence of polygarny
in Utah to-day, and this apostate, with
her silver-tongued e~loquence is a living,
present witness of its frightful
generalization and oppression of
the softer sex. The presence of
Apostle Cannon as a Territorial Dele
gate in Congress is another evidence of
the political power of the institution as
welded by the church of the Latter
Day Saints" He was chose- cnief1y
by the votes of the numerous wives Of
Mormons, cast under the dictation of
the heads Of the church. This is the
whole cas- in a nut shell. He was not
the choice of the people, but the choice
of Brigham Young, The imperious die
tatOr of law and gross immortality to
the deluded and awe-stricken Mormon
people. OF the truth of this assertion
those who listened to Mrs. Young last
night will no longer doubt
The next question is, how long Will
Congress quietly rest under this re-
sponslbilty without making an effort
to clear its skirts? How long will it
suffer its statutes prohibiting such a
state of affairs 20 be nullifed by the
Vaccinations of this pretended church?
Shall the laws of a great and powerful
Christian nation be set at defiance with
lmpunity by a handful of blasphemous
polygamists and no effort be made for
their enforcement?

From the MurfreesbOrO News.


Radicalism left us with a heavy debt
to carry, and thanks to wise and
economical administration, it has been
greatly reduced, but we have yet
enough left to be a burden upon us for
years, and the question is, shall we con-
tinue to reduce it, or allow 1t to ac-
cumulate.
Our State finances need a little miser-
ly handling; such management as a safe
business man would give to his individ-
ual affairs, and by the repeal of some
and the enactment of a few more laws,
we could reduce taxes until they
would be a burden to no one. We
would warn u people against taking
up any man merely upon his profess
sions of a certain tax. If a candidate
for the Legislature wants to pledge
himself before his election to any
line of policy, require him to have
a new assessment and collecting law,
and provide for the collection of the
taxes for 2 per cent. There L hum
dreds of good men who would gladly
take it for that sum. We favor the
payment of our State debt; we favor
low taxation, but let it be accomplished
by reducing current expenses, and not
by Reputation. But if we are to have
a partial reputation. let us make a
clean sweep of it, andbya constitution
al provision prohibit the State from
ever contracting one dollar of debt, by
bond or otherwise.

A COTTON CLAIM.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.

WASHINGTON, April Is.-As a mat
ter of information TO the many hum
dred persons who have or believe they
have claims against the Government
for property taken under what is known
as the Captured and Abandoned
Property Act" it may be interesting
to cite, as q precedent that will hold
good in all cases of a similar nature, a
matter which was brought to the atten-
ton of Congress to-day in the shape of
a petition setting forth the following
facts: A citizen of Illinois named
Brown claims S3S, 900 as his share Of
the proceeds of the sale of eleven hun
dred bales of cotton, which Brown de-
GYered at Cincinnati In 1868, under the
provisions of a contract between him
self and VIM. P. Mellen, a Treasury
agent. Brown holds that there
is evidence on file in the Treasury
Department to sustain his claim. He
demanded payment there, but the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, put in a poser
IN the shape of a letter in which be
declines to enter into a formal exami-
nation of the claim, as even in the
event OF 4 decision upon its merits and
legality favorable tothe claimant, there
are no moneys subject to the control of
the Secretary of the Treasury which
could lawfully be applied TO the pay
ment of such demands, inasmuch as
all moneys derived from the sale of
captured and abandoned property were
covered into the Treasury in obedience
to the requirements of the Congress
sional joint resolution of 1858, and
there is no appropriation suhsisting for
the payment of expenses incurred in
the collection of such property.

GRANT AND CHA.

From the New York Tribune, April Is.
An Administration organ at Washington,
The National Republican, which draws its
inspiration directly from the White House,
had an elaborate article on Monday giving
reasons why the Cuban Republic should be
recognized. Its first reason was that the
struggle for independence has been in prog
ress long enough to warrant the interfer-
enc of Deutral powers, and that such inter-
ference would be completely justified by
internatiOnalslaw. Secondly, the CONNER
eial interests of this country are suffering
greatly by the ~prOlongation Of the contest,
and would be largely promoted by ~recogniz-
ing Cuban independence and forming in
innate commercial relations with the new
government. Thirdly, the present moment
is oppOrtune for such action, since there is
no probability of the Establishment of a re-
publican government in Spain, and we
should not give our moral support in favor of
an attempt to crush out a republic in Cuba.
Further, a recognition would put an end to
barbarities practiced by Spanish officers in
Cuba, and would settle the question OF
slavery. In conclusion, the Republican
urges Congress to take immediate action in
the matter by recognizing the independence
Of Cuba, and authorizing the President to
negotiate a commercial treaty, aud adds;
at may be inferred that the President will
lose no time in giving effect to such a re-
solve"

BUREAU OFFICERS FORNENST RE-
TRESCHMENT.
From the Cincinnati Commercial

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, April I5.-The Ad-
jutant General has written a letter to
Congress protesting against the con-
templated reduction of clerks in his
bureau, saying that the effect Will be
detrimental to the Government inter
est.
The bill for the reduction of the
army, rs reported by the House Mill
tary Committee, contains a provision
that soldiers shall be paid, as are pen
sioners, by means Of checks. AS this
threatens to take away the occupation
of Army Paymasters, Paymaster Gen
cral Alvord, as might be anticipated,
ONE promptly to the front full of rea-
sons why the proposition should not
become a law. He sets forth his views
In a letter to tie Secretary Of War,
which that official forwards to the
Speaker. Gen. Alvord urges that the
soldiers don't want such a change
made; that under the present system
the majority of them draw their
money, spend but little of it, and de-
post the balance. If they are paid IN
checks they will be at the mercy of post
traders ana other usuriously inclined
dealers, VINO will exact a discount from
them. He submits also that the de-
post system will be broken up, to the
injury of the soldiers. This system,
authorized by the law of 1872, allows
soldiers to deposit their savings with
the paymasters until their term Of SER
vice expires, receiving interest at the
rate Of four per cent. per amman. He
says that the system Is now working
admirably, the deposits averaging about
S25,O 0O per month. He objects that
the proposed system Will divide re-
spons.bilities between paymasJers and
captains Of companies, and will neces-
state the risking of valuable vouchers
to tn, mails; hat twill demoralize and
chang the whole theory of the Pay
Department, and willwork tOthe preju-
dice cf the interests of soldiers sta
toned neal large cities; that there is
and can be no analogy between the
Pay Department and the Pension Blu
reau; that the Pay Department fur
nishes checks now to the officers and
soldiers whenever desired, and that the
present system has been demonstrated
b. the test of war to be effective and
economical.

MISTAKEN THE WORST SORT
From the athens Post, April il.

IIuM Tit aN-itlAc 4 NStf -lllA O.
The following occurs in one of II. Y.
Redfela's late letters to the Cincinnati
Commercial. He is speaking of Ten
nessee:
1.-The people are oppressed with debt
and taxes. The sheriff and tax-gather-
er go hand in hand over the country,
and every other man owes mor than
he can pay. At such times there is a
universal desire to put such men In
Office who believe in low salaries and
retrenchment. johnson, all his life,
has been the advocate of these and
therein is his strength with the uoiling
masses"
H. V. r. is mistaken the worst sort.
The people are not oppressed with debt
and taxation, and the sheriff and the
tax-gatherer are not going over the
country, arm IN arm and hand In hand
grabbing the last COW and selling peo-
pie out at ruinous sacrifices. Nothing
of the sort. We speak for our own
section. Monroe, McMinn, Polk, Brad
ley, Meigs, Rhea, Bledsoe and Sc
quatchie are unembarrassed with debt,
and, Notwithstanding the taxes for
all purposes do not exceed one dollar on
the one hundred dollars worth, most
of them have a surplus in their county
treasury. The people are in favor Of
wholesome retrenchment, but they are
not anxious to put cheap men in Office,
as that sort go to stealing as soon as
fairly seated. 1t is true, Mr.. johnson
has been the advocate of low salaries
all his life. He has been in Office pref
ty much all his life, too; but we never
heard of his refusing to take in the
way of salaries all that the law allowed
him. II. V. r. is a ready and racy
writer; but, like most Of his tribe, his
pencillings n frequently deficient in
a very important element.

HOW GRANT wINKs AT FRAUD.
From the Louisville C-ourier-Journai.

y 49, -. ~. St1AA@
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April I6.-The
fraud, trickery, and violence, by which
Brooks obtained possession of the Execu-
tive Office of Arkansas, has created a marked
sensation here. Gov. Bakers right was af-
firmed by the Supreme Court Of the State
but lie has been fair and liberal to the
Democrats. and the Radical Congressman
therefore, headed by Clayton, are warmly
supporting Brooks, with, perhaps, a single
exception. The Presidents, or rather
the Attorney Generals decision RENTS
Governor Baxter to the slow process of an
appeal to the Supreme Court, though
that body has ever decided the question in
Bakers favor. This is the reverse of the
Presidents position in the case of Louisi-
ana, where the President relied on the de-
cisiOn of the State Supreme Court. Sena-
tor Clayton, who last session upheld the
title of Baxter, now insists that Brooks
shall be the Governor. Ii is supposed here
that there is IN understanding between
Brooks and the friends OF the President that
Brooks will SO manage the next election as
TO perpetuate Republican ascendancy, no
matter how the State may 60 in the cleo
tion.

LEGALITY OF THE DISTRICT GOV.
ERNMENT.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-In the de.
bate on paying the school teachers of
the District, to-day, Senator Carpenter
made ar incidental observation in re-
gard to the District government, which
Is causing much comment. He declared
that every lawyer must have very grave
doubts whether there is any validity in
this government as now organized. 1t
is known that his views are shared bv a
number of the very best lawyers in Con-
gress, and at the District bar, and this
question is certain to come up when the
debate ensues upon the report to be
made by the committee Of investigation
row sitting. The remedy proposed by
some who share Senator Carpenters
opinion, is to govern the District by a
commission directly. responsible to Con-
gress.

abundant" In the banks of that city,
though transactions 7 limited-an-
other evidence of a lack of confidence.
Money in abundance, but hesitation
about investment, Is the cry from all
quarters. Initiating the currency will
but increase the distrust, by rendering
the marketable value of a legal tender
or national bank note still more uncer-
tain. Not more money, but more con-

through. BIT this confidence cannot
be restored till provision is made for a
return to specie payments.-Menephis
