As FAR BACK rs 1860, twenty years
ago, when the Republican national con-
ventiOn met at Chicago aud nominated
Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency,
pOlygamy in Utah and slavery in the
South were denounced in the platform
then adopted as twin relics of Oarbar-
ISM" and ever since the war clio. ed in
1865, and with its close an end was put
TO slavery, the Republican party at its
conventions, through its papers and by
its stump orators, has been telling the
country that pulygamy must gu-that a
crushing and final blow was about To be
struck for its complete determination.
But polygaIy in Utah, Notwithstanding
all these pledges and promises of "the
party of great moral ideas, - is to-day as
tuurishtng and vigorous as it was in
1850. Still the country must be fooled
to the top of its bent, and Garfield now
proposes TO play his part in the peTiodi-
cai farce Of Wjping out MOrmOuism.
Governor Murray, of Utah, Il kentuck-
ian appointed by Hayes and who IN his
official capacity decided few weeks ago
that Cannon, the Mormon delegate 10
Congress, was not elected because the
NCrmOUS practIced pO!ygamy and there
fore had 10 legal right TO vote, and on
that wonderful theory actually gave the
SS't4hC@te "a tlCCtIOII 10 cannon OppO-
usut, who did rot receive a tithe of the
vote cast-Gov. Murray, we say. has
been in Washington since Garfield's in
auguratiOn and has been assured Ly him,
so his organs say, of Ibis determination
TO use every endedvOr to suppress poly
gamy.' This promise will answer its
purpose for the present and until it be-
comes necessary to repeat il, and it
will come to pass that under Garfield po-
ly2amy always is to Be, but never is sup
pressed.

SAM WILKEsoG, who claims to have
loaned Henry Ward Beecher ten thOus-
and dollars to enable him TO complete
his contract with the publishing house
Of F. B. Ford x Co. TO write Life of
Christ, - which Beecher failed TO do, the
said book owing to the TiIton scandal
and trial having been, as WilkesOE said
IL would be, knocked higher than a
kite" has sued, or is about to sue, the
plymouth church preacher to recover
back that amount of bad investment.
The world will never know the iTTepar-

An ELoPEaENT EXTRAORDINARY.--
thirty miles from Kingston, y. Y, in the
heart of the CatskillS, an elOpement quite
ont of the usual order took place last week.
Mr.. Sam'l Snyder is the pOSSrSsOr of small
farm aad family. Among the members Of
the latter is a bright and cOmely daughter
not yet fourteen years of age. Living not
far from the Snyder homestead is a widower
named Martin White. His occupation for
some years past has hePn the doing OF Odd
chores for the nrighbOring farmers. During
the past winter he has been engaged cOnsid-
erably by Mr.. Snyder. 1t was noticed that
he paid great deal Of attention 20 Emma,
but little was thought Cf il owing to the dis
parity Of their ages, he being over sixty.
He has three grown up Children, all OF whom
are Older than the CHI q upon whom lie was
bestowing his attentions.
On Thursday last Emma left her home, Os-
tenSinly for the purpose of spending the day
with neighbor. In the evening size did not
return. visit 10 the neighnuT's house in
quest of her revealed the fact that she had
not been there that day. Alarmed At her
sudden disappeaTaucp, her father went to
the house Of the gray haired widuwer. He
too, was not ~ home lie had rorp IN the
morning in his wagon tn C4tSkili with some
butter, eggs aud potatoes 10 iud market

THAT JOHN /. MITCHELL, the new
Senator from this State, is a profound
and faT-seeing statesman is made per
fectly manifest from the broad view ne
takes of the bargain entered into by his
colleague, Don Cameron, with Malone,
who advocates the doctrine that the
honor OF a State consists in Iepudiating
her public debt. Mitchell says II
think that the action of Malone means
the dawning of new and bright day
for this country. 1t means the estab-
lishment of national, not sectional, par
ties. The fetters have been broken and

TIRE LANDING OF PENN.
Great preparations are being made for eel
ebrating the approaching 2o0th anniversary
OF the landing OF William Penn. The Park
IL 10 be the scene OF the celebration, and the
affair is To continue for several days. One
OF the features of the occasion Will be the
entOmbing OF the remains OF William Penn
with appropriate ceremonies, such as a
musical festival, professions OF the military
and of the trades, etc. vessel the coun-
terpaTt OF the "Welcome," which conveyed
the founder of the city to the shores OF tue
Delaware, is to be built. The State Legisla.
ture Is to be asked for an appropriation OF
$4,000.
CoHMENDABLE ACT.
The ladies OF the lie brew Sunday School
Association of Philadelphia gave their pupils
r merry day In celebrating the Feast OF
PuTim. They engaged the Chestnut Street
Opera House for the performance Ot 'Cln-
deTilla," and In order that other chIdren
outside OF the faith might participate IN the
endowment the pupiIs of other schools were
invited, and eighteen hundred little ones made
the Opera House ring with their merry
shouts.
THE PRESIDENTIAL TRIBUTE or ADAIIRA-
The Philadelphia Times, in speaking OF
the w ite House boquet-1hat imperial to-
ken OF the Presidents approval Of Malone 5
virtue, says The ill-natured might assume
that the fragrance IF the flo @ers was TO
serve as a deuderiZer to the stencil of the bo-
quet he sent to the Senate in the name OF
Stanley Matthews" 1t says further : II
we could but know the genus OF the nOSe2ay
we should have better Understood the subtle
chord of sympathy that thrills between the
bury stalwart Of the White House and the
attenuated manikiu VINO forms the majority
of the Senate" The Times then asks Was
It rosemary that made up the blooming trl-
butte Of Presidential admiration? Had the
White House fiower-beds been turned into
cabbag age- plots, as Democratic trOgloditeS urg-
ed, what would the President have done to
attest his grateful sense of MahOnp's Demo-
cracy Q" President Garfield having htStOr-
icaI bent, has revived the practice OF royal
and imperial persons acknowledging The ser,
vice Of their gassals by gifts of medals and
flowers. The President laid this delicate
tribute Of his satisfaction and approval to
mark the reward of rrpudiation.
THAT BASKET OF FLOWERS.
There is more in the bargain between the
President and Malone than the basket OF
flowers, but after all, to use y Western
phrase. Mr. Malone, has "bit;en off more
than he can chaw." Between the jealousy
of the Virginia Republicans in and out of
Congress- the hostility of Democrats in the
Senate, and the ScOTn and cuutumely he
must meet at the hands of his deceived CON
stituenIs at home, Mr.. Malone will find to
his SORROW that a rtadjuster's life is not
happy one. Virginians have something to
say and will insist Oh saying it. G. y. ;.

Il JOINT RESOLUTION expressing SYM
pathy for the people of ireland IN their
struggle against the consuming curse of
landlOrdism, which passed the House at
Harrisburg week before last, and on be-
ing sent 10 the Senate was referred to
the Committee on Federal Relations in
that body, was reported back tcith neg
attire recommendation by said committee
on Friday last. Why this resolution
was thus reported, If the committee gave
any reason for its action. we know not,
but we don't believe that similar res
solution could or would have been stran-
gled by committee of any other legis-
lative body in this wide Union, always
excepting the Legislature of bigoted
Rhode Island, in which a resolution of
sympathy with Irish liberty recently
met the same fate-a performance emf
nently becoming a State in which an
1rishman, a German, or any other for
eigntr, even though he fought bTavely
for the UniCn in tue late civil war, is not
permitted to vote without a landed quail

Relations in the ST ate Senate consists of
four Republicans, ttcO Democrats aud a
GTeenback Democrat, as follows Herr,
Rep, Of Dauphin county, chairman !;
Reyburn, Rep. Philadelphia Jones,

Chester county; Alexander, Dem, Cen
tire county; Gordon, Dem, Philadelphia,
and Nelson, q. D., (which is an abbre-
Walton, not of an oath, but of Green
back Democrat,) Wayne county. The
passage of this resolution by the Legis-
lature, although it would neither alarm
England nor materially benefit Ireland,
would still show to the people of that Op-
pressed country that Pennsylvania, like
every other State in the Union with the
exception of Rhode Island has "A becom-
