THE Mormons, according to recent relia-
BILE reports, are nearly all Democrats, and
States Rights Democrats at that If Utah
should be admitted into the Union, with
polygamy as a recognized institution, the
Democrats would be compelled to maintain
that twin relic" as they did slavery, or re-
pudiate the theory of States Rights as based
upon the DRIED SCOTT decision. This fact
is Of itself sufficient to make Democrats Of
them, and also TO induce the Democracy, fol
the sake of gaining two more Democratic
Senators and another Democratic State, tC
admit Utah.

personal ambition Is permitted to control
the nomination under an undue pressure
regardless of success, then the chances arc
that defeat will follow The party must
entirely disregard personal ambition and
seek ability, patriotism, high character and
answering fidelity to principle, with a
view to overcoming factions and personal
prejudices, thus bringing the party into
solid phalanx and making victory easy and
sure. One thing is assured by history
Whenever the Republican party in New
York is united and develops its full
strength, and the repeaters, ballot-box stuff
ers and illegal voters are held under re-
straint, the State is scored to the Republi-
can account 1t must be so this fall unless

GEORGIA was the first of the Southern
States rescued from the rule of scalawags
and carpet-baggers. Very naturally Geor-
gia is now the leader of all the States in
that section in official corruption, political
scandal and administrative deviltry.
At the same time she led off in Repu-
diation down South All of which does
not reflect material credit on Home Rule.
With her Governor smirched, her Senators
implicated in precarious prison contracts,
her Comptroller under impeachment for
peculations and bribing members of her
Legislature, her State Treasurer defaulter,
and the execution of the laws of the Gene
raj Government opposed by nearly all the
people within her limits, she does not pre-
sent the enchanting picture of reforms
achieved and good government that was
promised when her "rightful rulers" took
hold of things

THE memorial of DIR. ]. B. GREENE for
an investigation Of the affairs Of the New
port custom-house alleges, among other
things, that the new appointments of the
collector thereof had been filled mainly
"by the relatives of the Hon. H. b. AN
"THoNY." The testimony relating to this
specific charge, when boiled down." dis
closes the fact that it rests solely upon the
appointment of one E. c. ALLEN, who is n
son-in-law of CYRUS HARRIS, who is O
cousin of Senator ANTHONY. This rather
remote illustration of the crime of nepotism
will not shock anyone in these parts out Of
their accustomed equilibrium.

ONE oftbe Boston witnesses before Coffee

the voters being as gule free from restrain
ing or bull-dozing influences. Verify, C.-P.W.

to Chairman TELLER. The difference be-
tween the too, however, is apparent in the
fact that Senator TELLER would have

THE Washington Post speaks of local con-

THE New York Commercial advertiser
takes this view of the case
1t is clear from the letters and statements
of Mrs SPRAGUE aud her friends that she was
obliged to call in counsel to aid her In her
troubles with the maudln and idiotic SPRAGUE.
1t was at her request that Senator Conkling
advise in regard to her property. Had he any
other purpose in view he would have met
Mrs. SPRAGUK somewhere else than at Mr..
SPRAeUE's home. How this perverse and
wicked world is given to scandal and defam.

LOOK out for an early collapse. The
democratic wind organ has pretty much
played the full tune of the SPRAGUE scan

into its normal state of dirty stupidity, un-

only thrives when that is abundant.

The CoNKLING-SPRAGUE scandal is sad
commentary on the carelessness and frivolity
found in public, fashionable life. Nothing

SPRAGUE estate, which is declared not to be
insolvent, to risk all by infidelity to her mari

OUR morning contemporary proposes to
contribute something with which to buy
news for The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
We must certainly object to anything ofthe
kind, lest the creditors ofthat concern might
have cause of complaint on that account.
They might, and rightly too, object to hav-
ing its moneys diverted to outside purposes
until their claims are settled. Then, again,
q new dress has been announced long ago
to improve its mechanical appearance, and

tance. Get the dress first. Be just, and
then be generous, neighbor. Speaking OF
news. All the real newspapers in the coun-
try had an account of the death of Mrs
SARToRIs on last Saturday morning, while
our enterprising and fiatulent neighbor had
not heard of it until it's exchanges came in
they affording its usual resource for news
1t should put up its brass toot-horn, throw
away It's scissors by which its specials are
chiefly made, and invest in legitimate en-
terprise, which will afford more news and
less wind. Then it would be less an object
of derision with the public.

Hampshire, whic h declared that the Constitn-

aH@
The obligation of the Government to en-
force law is co.extensive with the obligation OF
tho citizen to obey law. Absolve either from
this Obligation and civil government be-
comes farce. When free thought
and free speech can be tolerated in the
South rs in tho North, then peace
and reconciliation will come to stay but to
expect these on any other conditions is to jest
with the subject. Since the cessation Of hos
tiities the life of no man in all the North has
been jeopardizcd for political opinions sake
The most extreme men of the South could
and have uttered their sentiments as freely
and safely on the soil of New England as in
the State of Mississippi or South Carolina
But to say that any Northern Republican
could prosecute political canvass in the
South, relieved from personal danger
is to insult the common intelligence ol
the country The fact that such q thing Is
not proposed or thought of is the best com
mentary on the actual condition of this coun'
try to-day.
Now, so long MS this condition of things re.
mains, so long must the Republican party
stand guard. [Applause.]

Poor little NELLIE GRANTw was the
involuntary exclamation Of Washington on
Saturday last when the news of her death
reached the city through these columns,
for she will always be remembered by peo-
pie hereabouts, as she was best known to
them, in the character of fresh, blithe,
good natured and sociable little bud of hu-
manity. She grew into womanhood, WIS
married, and went away so suddenly as to
leave only these impressions made in her
girlhood days behind. 1t seemed very
strange to hear Of her later rs q mother,
and there was that about her return to her
American home when this occurred which
had the effect to make it subject of COM
mon concern among those of her country
men who knew her never so slightly. And
the romance of her marriage at the Execu-
tive Mansion to foreigner, albeit he had
been manly enough in the days Of his pow
erty to work us day laborer in our Min
nesota pineries, added no little to this in
terest. But she has gone to penetrate the
mysteries of that echoless Shore" and d
generous, heartfelt sympathy is extended
by every American to her afflicted family
