POLYGAMY.

Tho Senate Committee on Judiciary
have considered and reported favorably
the bill introduced by Senator Christian
cy to carry into operation the recent de-
cision Of the Supreme Court affirming
the constitutionslity of tho anti -pOlyga-
my law of 1862, and an attempt will be
made to pass it this session. The bill is
not materially changed from the origin
al form, and provides that in any prose-
cution for polygamy whore the defend
ant is believer in any religious system
or sect, among whom marriages are not
celebrated, it shall be necessary to OBJ
tain evidence of an eye witness to cs-
tablish such marriage. But evidence of
h-bi'u"l recognition by defendant of his
or her wife or husband, "uu mutual roc
ognitlon of child or Children as their
own, shall be doomed sufficient as COM
petent evidence upon which tho jury
may find tho fact of marriage. Tho bill
allows the President to grant amnesty
to those who have committed polygamy
before tho 9th day of December, 1873,
and provides that those who ack nowl-
edge belief in thc-Mormon religion, or
themselves practice polygamy, shall not
be eligible to servo as jurynen in trial
of these cases.

Tho "black death" which appeared on
the shores of the Caspian sea some
months ago is advancing into tho heart
of Russia at q ratio which causes great
alarm IN that empire and among its Ger
man neighbors. The plague soems to
be at present moving up the valley Of
tho Volga, but of course it cannot DO ex-
pected that its ravagos will be confined
to that region. Excitement and alarm
seems to prevail throughout the east
countries of Europe, and great scarcity
of doctors is complained of, the profess
sion in Russia having suffered heavily
in the Turkish war and in the pestillen-
tial fevers which followed it as q conse-
quence of the neglect of proper salutary
measures in the Russian camps. The
chances seem to be that the scourge will
find its way to western Europe during
the coming summer.

Last summer Senator Christiancy formally applied
to the President for appointment Is Minister to Mexi
but his appointment WAS not fAvorably consider

was familiar BY long experience with Mexican A6airs,
should be retained. About four weeks ago IN appli
cation was made by the Mexican delegation in Chris
tiancys behalf for any foreign appointment dignity
BETTING his political and judicial position, being
his desire to the effect OF foreign and tropical
climate upon his health. At the request Of the Sena
tor. the matter regarded confidential until
some Official announcement should be made. but the
wide publication relieves the njuncons Of secrecy,
aud il be stated that the President has ten

which Is SO 600. and Christancy has accepted. His
nomination will be Ia the Senate this week prob
