ELECTRICITY SUBSTITUTE FOR CoAL OIL A few years since one of our ablest chemists demonstrated the practicablity of producing light by electricity, but as the apparatus was somewhat costly, il did not come into general use, although it is the softest clearrst light ever produced by mortal means. Lately We see the papers are disposed to accord its in- vention to Russian as new thing.
 The dangers of kerosene may possibly be done away by the invention of a Russian who claims to have discovered a process for pro- ducing light by electricity, which Is thus de- scribed:
 "A small tube of glass. not more than six inches in length is filled with pencil of charcoal; the air is exhausted and the tube dramatically sealed. 4 moderate current of electricity is then passed through the charcoal from an electro magnetic machine, causing it to glow with brilliant, but at the same time soft light. IL is stated that tue char coal is not Perceptibly consumed by the pro- cess, but will last for an indefinite period and that the strength of the current reauired Is so small that two hundred of these lights. at considerable distance apart. can be easily maintained by a single machine. The in- ventor claims that he can light the whole city of St. Petersburgh-street lamps, stores. and private residences-by single fifteen horse power machine, with no greater cost than that of running a machine. Moreover. all the lamps of the city would be lighted at the same moment, and private lights would need no attention, except the shutting off of the current from the house when desired.

 largely, and raise crops ss they hac never done before.
 But tie fact is, since April 15, ths time spoken of by the "reliable contributor
 when Mr. Cum arrived, little or nothing has been done for the Indiane in this particular. On the contrary, they are allow ed to roam st large, and many are at least 5o or 60 miles from the agency. All this be- ing the case, the urgency in having them put in their crops is not so apparent, whilst their interest in the same being decidedly on the wanc, is much more certain.
 The success of Mr. Cum at the San Car los reservation, so far as obtained, was vel. provided for in the fact that those Indian. were thoroughly whipped and completely GisarIned, and in the case of an accession there lately, of the Verde Indians. Mir Clum's reason for having them disarmed was 10 place them on the same footing with the others.
 Under the present state of things, and with the attempt to remove the White Mountain Apacbes, an outbreak is very likely to occur. It will bc known then how far they have been pleased, and who is accounta- ble for such outbreak
 It is very we'll understood that there should be the greatest harmony between the military and Indian agencies, to the end that peace and good order may be preserved among the Indians. and for the safety and protection of settlers Generally speaking, this harmony exists where military posts and Indian agencies are near each other, and un- der it there is a perfect good will und under standing The branches of Government act in concert, and so carry out the wishes of higher authority. But it must be frankly admitted there can be no real gain in depre ciating one to unduly extol another, and thereby distort the truth P.

QUEER RELATIONSHIP AMONG MoRyo,

QUEER RELATIONSHIP AMONG MoRMoNs. -Brigham Young married two sisters oi Charley Decker, and Decker married two daughters of Brigham by other women All have children. Now the offspring of Clara Decker Young and Lucy Decker Young are cousins of Charley DeckerS children But the latter are grandchildren of the formers father, and consequently nephews and nieces of their own cousins. But the nephew of q cuusin-blood relationship holding-are second cousins. hence Decker's children hold that relationship to each other. Deckcr's wives are half sisters of their own sister-in- law; they are sisters-in-law to their own father, and aunts to their own halfsister. Now if the relationship were blood through out, the cannons of descent would exclude them; but as 1t doubles on both sides, they would probably be included. Hence the two Mrs. Deckers are Gin law) their own aunts, while Clara D. and Lucy D. Young are legal grandmothers to their neces, and the two sets of children are respectively cousins, aunts, and nieces, and the Lord knows what besides.
 Elder Allsop, of Sandy station, married willow and her eldest daughter, having at the same time young daughter by for mer wife, now happily deceased. All this family live in one house. The daughter of the oldest wife is half sister 10 his second wife, and to his second wifes children, and consequently her own aunt in-law. The daughter of the deceased wife is balf-sister to all the other children, legal granddaughter to one step-mother, legal halfsiste to the other, and consequently aunt-in-law 10 her self. If they keep on as they have begun they will eventually produce a boy, who will be bis own grandfather.

TERRITORIAL

Tucson, May 29.-The Citizen of to-day contains an able criticism on the lecture de lvcred by Judge Dunne, Jan. lst, 1875 favoring the division of the public school
 monies and giving portion to the Catholic 1 church. The Citizen gives as a reason for
 not criticising the lecture before, that so long as the lecture went no further than the audience that listened to it, knowing that it had no harmful effect, it was disposed to let it pass, but now that it has appeared in
 pamphlet form, it considers it a duty to
 correct some of the many errors it contains
 The Citizen charges that four fiiths of the
 money that was put into the Catholic
 school houses and church was paid by friends
 of the public school; that they had been
 among the best paying patrons of said
 school but as soon of the friends of public
 education desired to get up a social party,
 the proceeds to go for the benefit of build
 ing public school house, the leaders of the
 church tried to break up the party. The
 Citizen argues that Government has the
 i'SHt to N' ai4 HtNtSSdil lO pSlu-
 ate its own existence that education, to
 make the people capable of selfgovernment,
 IS one of the chief necessities. It denies. as charged in Judge Dunne's lecture, that we are robbing the Catholics, and says that ninety per cent of the children attending the public schools in the Territory are of Catholic parents, and that about as many as we are educating have been turned away from the schools for want of room, and that the Catholic people have never asked for any change in the laws, or have never complain ed of the schools that all the complaint so far has come from Judge Dunne and the Priests; that the people in Mexico have commenced system of education similar to ours, and are being fought there as here by the Priests. It shows the countries that have gone down which have been under sectarian rule. It charges that our school system Is the purest republication that the system Judge Dunne would force upon us comes from Rome, ordered by foreign Prince who claims infallibe powers. and is therefore the purest monarchism. It charges that if the youth of America are turned over to sectarian churches to educate that the at once commences for the mastery that as soon as one gets complete control. then Church and State will be united. and then will follow the scenes of blood and tor ture that has always followed absolute con- 1 trol of Church united with State.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. }
Monday, March %, 1875. I

l herewith send you the Evening Sta,
Of this date containing synopsis of ex-
President Johnson's speech made in the
Senate to-day. 1t was delivered in a
collected and deliberate manner, and
while the speaker dealt some heavy
blows at President Grant, he abstained
from any vul gar TRADES or undignified
language. While be endeayored, per.
ceptiJly endeavored, to keep within
the bounds of parliamentary language,
it was evident that the Senator from
Tennessee did not forget (if he failed
to avenge) the wrongs of President
Johnson. The few mistakes into which
the pressure and hurry of debate be-
trayed him, and which the report in the
Star takes note of, were as straws de-
noting the volume and rapidity Of the
torrent. 1t was in word a telling
speech, carefully prepared, lucid in its
arrangement, and delivered in earnest
and impressive manner. When he told
the Senators" and his fellow-citizens
that there 'cds an Empire before them
and that a third term would be the
knell Of the Republic" a round Of ap-
plause greeted the Senator. Pending
this demonstration from the galleries
and while the speaker, with dilated eve
and outstretched arm, foretold in ''pro-
pEetic fury" 1.-The fate of nations and
spoke of justice, Temperance and judg-
ments to come, / could not repress the
thought, or rather the question, "Is
this the man who sent an innocent wo-
man to a cruel and SYNONYMOUS DEATH"
The amendment to Mr.. Morton's mo-
ton will be carried by a strict party
vote. What the Republican party viii
gain by thus indirectly endorsing Grants
Louisiana policy, it is difficult to UNDER
stand. The odium and responsibility
of military interference with q deliber-
alive assembly had better remain where
it fairly belongs as far that party's IL
terests and future are concerned.
/ was somewhat surprised ut the alb
sence from their places in the Senate of
many of the Republican members of
that body. do not think that one
third of them were present. Whether
their absence was intended as q slight
to Mr.. Johnson or not, it is difficult to
determine. The floor of the Senate
Chamber was by no means crowded,
although the galleries were filed to
their utmost capacity. There is moth
ing here outside politics and the reli-
gious services of Holy Week to inter-
est strangers or soiourners.
The many friends Of Mr.. John Llovd
WILDE pleased, I am sure, to learn that he
is doing heavy and profitable commits
sion business ct his new stand on LOU
isiana Avenue. He has for partners
gentlemen of large means and high
character, having extensive Virginia and
Marylan connection. I think it a great
advantage to the shippers of produce
from st. Mary's county to have so ac-
tive, industrious ard honest q man as
cur friend John Lloyd to cOnsign to.

Gen. Grant Is persistent in demand
ing that his republican allies in the
Senate shall trea. him to q coat Of
whitewishing on the Louisiana ques-
ton before they adjourn. The first
garment of this kind presented for con-
sideration was rejected in republican
caucus and subsequently one of less
Immaculate wilderness was accepted
Modified, however, as the resolution
has been, it is still doubtful whether
it can pass the Senate. We vote for
the first coat and that failing, for the
second. Lime is disinfectant and the
more our radical rulers are disinfected,
the better.
A few unpleasant incidents in con-
nectien with the practical working of
the much discussed Civil Rights bill
have already been recorded, and many
more are likely to occur. The mis-
chievous nature of the bill il in its ten
dency to provoke and perpetuate social
prejudices. Special legislation in such
cases can never be productive of good.
The good sense Of the white and color
ed people will, however, settle the vex-
atious question in more harmonious
manner than ever the promoters of the
bill contemplated, and the extremists
of both races will find, we hope, that
their endeavors to perretuate race
antagonism, which has already existed
too long, has resulted in signal failure.
The Internal Revenue Commissioner
has not ruled, as some suppose, that
notes made payable at a bank in the
ordinary manner, and in the course of
business heretofore usual, are subject
to stamp taxes. 1t Las, however, ruled
that notes payable at bank given in
lieu Of checks for the purpose of evad-
ding the stamp tax upon checks are
vouchers" within the meaning of that
word as used in the statute, and require
two cent stamp.
Two thousand colored workingmen
went to the White House in a body
lately for the purpose of laying before
the President their grievances in the
matter of the application of the money
appropriated by Congress to pay GER
tain pressing debts of the District Gov
eminent. They wanted to say to him
that the contractors were getting all
the money and TIE laborers nothing
The President refused to see them, and
they went away indignant.
The aggregate sum in tie twelve gen.
eral appropriation bills passed during
the late session of Congress is about
s175,o0o,000, apart from many other
bills appropriating money.
tAfar as newspaper talk indicates.
the Hon. N. E. Kerr, Of H.
diana, has the best prospect of being
Speaker Of the next House of Repre-
sentatives.
