The President IL said to be exceedingly In
dignant because the nominations for census
supervisors for Ohio were rejected by the
Senate, and, It is eaid, threatens to send
In the entire list again. II he does, the duty
to the Senate is plain. The nominees should
be again rejected. When the census law was
adopted, it was understood that the super-
visors were to be fairly divided among the
political parties. This agreement has been
flagrantly violated by the President, and
especially In the appointments for Ohio, all
the appointees being Republicans 1t was
for this reason that they were rejected, and
the same reason will hold good should they
be sent In again. 1t Is not likely that Mr..
Hayes will risk another snubbing, however.

There are now only four States in the
Union which elect their governors annually
Maine, Rhode Island, Massachusetts ano'
Connecticut. Their legislatures also are
elected annually, except In Connecticut whsre
the Senators are elected for two years on
these States, two have recently voted on the
question OF changing their elections from
annual to biennial, Maine voting In favor Of
the change and Connecticut against It, The
lower house OF the New York Assembly has
been hitherto elected annually, but this sys-
tenn has been recently abolished and the bien-
NAL plan adopted instead. In sixteen States
the governors are elected for terms Of two
years, In two for three year terms and In six-
teen for four years. Besides New England,
four other States enjoy the luxury of an

TIE SUPPRESSION OF MoRMoNIsM,

The Judiciary Committee OF the United
States Senate has reported to that body bill
amendatory Of the present laws relating to
bigamy and polygamy, which, II 1t becomes
law and is enforced, will speedily deal a death
blow to the Mormon organization In Utah,
and either scatter the Saints or compel them
to abandon plural marriages. The bill In
question imposes fine OF not more than $500
aud not more than five years imprisonment
upon every person who has husband or
wife living and who hereafter marries
another, and declares that any man
who marries more than one woman ia
guilty 81 biEamy. This provision does
not extend to any person by reason OF
any former marriage whose husband or
wife by such marriage is absent for five sue
eessive years and Ia not known to be living
nor to any person whose lawful marriage has
been dissolved by decree OF competent
court. 1t provides that In any case OF prose-
cution for bigamy any person drawn as
Juror may be challenged II he is or has been
living In practice Of blgamy or polyRamy. or
II he believes Il morally, religIously or legally
right for man to have more than one living
and undivorced wife or to live In the practice
81 cohabiting with more than one woman. It
also authorizes the President to grant am
nesty to offenders against the law for offenhes
committed before January 1, 1879, on such
conditions and under such limitations as he
shall think proper, but no such amnesty shall
have effect unless the conditions thereof
shall have been complied with. The bill pro-
vides that the issue of Mormon marriages
born before November 1, 1879, shall be con-
sldered Legitimate and entitled to all the
rights Of heirs and next to kin OF their
parents.
While the bill is ga eral In It's application
It Is Intended particularly for the Latter Day
Saints. whose peculiar institution would be
struck down should Its sweeping provisions
be enforced. just here is the difficulty. The
laws on the statute books. while not "a COM
prehensive as the bill under consideration,
are yet sufficient for the suppression OF poly
gamy In Utah II they were executed. The
Mormon question has always been gingerly
treated by the executive departments. 1t Is
to be hoped that II the proposed law Is enacted
it will be executed with more vgor than
those heretofore passed for the prevention OF
plural marriages. AS Mr.. Hayes asked for
further Legislation upon the subject In his
annual message, It is to be presumed that he
will give effect to the response Of Congress
should 1t take the form OF the bill reported
favorably by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Gen. Dan. Ruggles, of Virginia, has In,
vented plan by which he hopes to precpitate
rainfalls by artificial means. This method.
for which he has recently been granted a
patent, he explained before the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture the other day. 1t
consists in sending up skeleton balloons into
the cloud realms, where the rain-clouds are,
and exploding from them cartridges Of dyna-
mite. The General declares that he has made
experiments with hts system and finds that
Il works successfully: and che Senate COM
mlttee was 80 pleased with his explanation
that they requested him to anplify Ills me-
mortal and present 1t again to them, SO that
they might thoroughly consider this I'M
portant question.

IF our memory serves us correctly
Davis Mackley, on one or more occa-
sions, remarked that not one of "that
Wormly Hotel crowd" would ever
again receive office at the hands of the
Republican party, or words to that ef-
feet. Well, since that threat was
made, Mr. Mackley has supported two
of the crowd for pretty high offices
to wit: Charley Foster for Governor
and General Garfield for President, and
it is not improbable that another one
of them-Judge Matthews-may go to
the United States Senate. Upon the
whole, "the Wormley Hotel crowd
seem to be getting along pretty we'll

Election Methods in Virginia.


SIR: The following extract from II
private letter from one who was Il res
ident of the State Of Virginia for
many years shows one Of the methods
by which the Mother of Presidents y
disfranchises her children:
"Our precinct gave SO Republican
majority. In the precinct adjoining
they managed to kill time i'll such d
way as to crowd 200 colored voters out
entirely. The poor fellows had paid
their poll-tax-no small item for these
poor men-and stood from sunrise to
sunset trying to get chance to vote
The Democratic Judges Of Election
took up the time challenging votes
pretending to look up registration
lists, etc, until sunset, then closed the
polls, and told those who had not beer
allowed a chance, that they could moi
vote, it was too late. Many came tC
consult me, but [ had all | could do t.
keep the polls straight in my Owl
precinct y
By such means the proud State O.

racy. S.

ABRAM S. HEWITT, Tilden's hench-
man in 1876, and somewhat notorious
ly connected with the Morey-Letter
forgery Of 1880, is a striking example
of the danger of falling into bad COM
pany. Mr.. Hewitt has been regarded
as gentleman, and a man possessing
social qualities Of a high order In an
evil moment the forgers submitted the
bungling attempt to initiate Gen. Gar
fields writing to him, and he, blinded
by partisanship, was persuaded into
pronouncing it genuine. So glaring
was Mr. Hewitt's error, that he was
bitterly denounced from the Supreme
Bench, as well as from the pulpit, in
New York.

IT would seem that every Republi-
can politician expects President Gar
field to carry out some peculiar idea,
or hobby, in the new Administration.
Some of those Republicans who have
improved plans for running the ma
chinery of Government will perhaps
be disappointed. Gen. Garfield is a
great mana good man. We believe
he has the ability to fill the high Office
to which he has been called, with dis
tinguished honor. We are willing to
trust him. But we believe the mil
lenium is not yet, and while we are
looking forward to an Administration
worthy of the new President, and the
great party he represents, we should
not forget that it is our duty to give
the Administrator an intelligent sup
port, rather than holding aloof, and
exacting special departures on account
Of some peculiar notions OF our own.
Allow Garfield to select his own Cabi-
net. Allow him to make up his own
Administration and if intelligence and
patriotism do not govern his action
throughout, it will be something very
strange for Garfield

in the great broad field of humanity,
and for the cause of human rights
Cheers and applause. | consider it
an honor to extend him, as [ do now,
the warm, earnest right hand of fell
lowship."
As Mr.. Beecher said this, he turned
to Mr.. Ingersoll and extended his
hand. The palms of the two men
met with a slap that was heard all
over the house, and was the signal for
tumultuous cheering and applause,
which continued for several minutes.
Il now introduce to you" contin-
ued Mr.. Beecher, leading Mr.. Inger-
soil forward, "a man who-and | say
it not fatteringly-is the most bril-
liant speaker of the English tongue of
all men on this globe. Great ap-
plause. But as under the brilliancy
of the blaze Of light we find the liv-
ing Goals of fire, under the lambent
flow of his wit and magnificent an
tithesis we find the glorious flame of
genius and honest thought, Pro-
longed cheers Ladies and gentle
men, Mr.. Ingersoll."

when the expounder of the Cos
pei of Christ took the famous atheist
by the hand and shook it fervently,
saying the while that he respected and
honored him for the honesty of his
convictions and his splendid labors for
patriotism and the country, the en-
thusiasm knew no bounds, and the
great building trembled and vibrated
with the storm of applause. With
such scene to harmonic the multi
tude at the outstart, it is not strange
that the meeting continued to the
end such a one as has no parallel even
in these days of feverish political ex-
element and turmoil. The orator
spoke in his best vein, and his audi
ence was responsive to the wonderful
magical spell Of his eloquence. And
when his last glowing utterance had
lost its echo in the wild storm of ap-
plause that rewarded him at the close
Mr. Beecher again stepped forward,
and as if to emphasize the earnestness
of his previous compliments, proposed
a vote of thanks to the distinguished
speaker The vote was a roar of af-
frmation, whose voice was not strong

upon the audience to give three cheers
for the great speaker. They were
given and repeated three times over
Men waved their hats and umbrellas;
ladies, of whom there were many
