Mr.. Tennyson received three hundred
guineas for his last piece of poetry pub
lished in the Nineteenth Century, and it is
said that he is angry now because he
didn't bargain in advance for five hun
dred. It is possible that some English
periodical might have been found to give
the latter sum; but it is safe to say that
if the poet laureate had omitted his name
from the lines he couldn't have got them
printed as an original production in any
paper in the United States-and most
likely not in England--for nothing.

to hold the Office. The law of Rhode
Island requires property qualification
for voters, and the joke on Van Zandt is
that his wife is the property holder of the
family. Not being qualified voter, he
is ineligible to election as an officer.

PREPARING to MAKE THE NEW DOLLARS.
WASHINGTON, March IA million Of dol
lars have been placed to the credit OF the
Philadelphia mint and $500, 900 to the cred
it of the Carson City mint, so that both of
these mints can begin the coinage of silver
dollars at once.
The first of the new coins are to come out
in Washington, and upon their reception it
is now believed that acquisitions for funds
to pay salaries of members of Congress will
be filled with silver dollars.
The dollar of the fathers is alive again,
and DR.. Linderman says that the Philadel-
phia Mint will begin work to-day. Whether
Mr.. Sherman will in good faith carry out the
law is still doubted by many people; but if
he does not, 1t may be set down that Con-
gress will pass another bill, compared with
which this one is mere triae.

SALT LAKE March 1.-At large enthusi-
astic meeting of nom -Mormons presided over
by Cen. Nathan KimbaH, personal friend
of Gov. Emery, the following resolutions re-
garding the infamous Election Law passed
by the Polygamist Legislature Of Utah, were
adopted:
Resolved, That we, the freemen of Utah
and citizens of the United States, declare
our unalterable opposition to said election
law and record our grief and amazement at
its enactment"
This law gives the Mormon Priesthood
the power to provide machinery to work
and plan, and its engineers to operate the
machinery.
1t etfectually disfranchises large
majority of the liberal voters, while it
throws wide open the doors to the wives,
be they many or few, and many to vote at
the instance and under the covering man
tie of their citizen lord.
Resolved, That free men in this Terrific
ry anxiously look to Congress for the en-
actment of an election law that will secure
them in their constitutional rights as citi-
zens of the United States and of this Terri
tory, and that they will annul this Utah
burlesque on the elective franchise"
Yesterday, the last Thursday in the
month, sixty-two Mormons passed through
the Endowment House in this city, and it
is announced that the place will remain
open two days longer. A prominent Nor
mon, who was asked why it was the Saints
non, delegate in Congress from Utah, had
confessed to the Territorial Committee that
he had four wives, and the Saints were in
formed that Congress had legalized polyg-
amy. Over one thousand polygamous mar
riages have taken place here in the past
twelve months, and the law-abiding portion
of the community think it time the Gov
ernment of the United States, with its re-
form powers, take some action to stop it.
