rare instances been enforced, and from causes
to which reference will presently be made,is
practically a dead letter. The fact that the
adherents of the Mormon Church, which rests
upon polygamy as its corner stone, have re-
Gently been peopling in large numbers, Idaho
Arizona and other of our Western Terrltor-
les, is we'll calculated to excite the liVellest
interest and apprehension. It imposes upon
Congress and the Executive. the duty Of
bringing against this baTbarous system all
the power which under the Constitution and
laws they can WELD for its destruction. Ref
erence has been already made to the obstruc-
tons thea United States officers have en-
cOuntered in their efforts to punish the vlo-
lators Of the law. Prominent among the OBJ
stacles is the difficulty of procuring legal evil
dence sufficient to warrant q conviction even
in the case Of the most notorious offenders.
Your attention is called to the decision of the
Supreme Court Of the United States, explain
Ing its judgment Of reversation in the. case
Of Miles, who had been convicted of polyga-
my IN Utah. The court refers to the fact
that the secrecy attending the celebration of
marriages IN that Territory makes that part
of %polygamy very difficult, and the propriety
is suggested Of modifying the law of evidence
which now makes wife incompetent to tes-
tify against her husband. The suggestion is
approved, and [ recommend also the passage
Of an act providing that in the Territories
Of the United States the fact that a woman
who has been married to a person charged
with bigamy, shall not disqualify her as q
witness upon his trial for that ofense. | fur
ther recommend legislation by which any
person solemnizing a marriage in any OF the
Territories shall be required, under stringent
penalties for neglect or refusal, 10 file 8 Ger
tifcate Of such marriage in the Supreme
Court of the Territory, unless Congress may
devise other practicable measures for obvia-
ting the difficulties which. have hitherto at
tended the efforts to suppress this lniquity. /
assure you Of my determined purpose to CO.
operate with you ia any lawful and discreet
measures which may be proposed to that
end.

VIENNA, December 9.-From the ruins Of
the Ring Theatre, burned last night, 27O
bodies have been recovered. The fourth gal
lery has not yet been explored. It is believ-
ed that not a single person escaped from that
gallery and that very few escaped from the
third gallery. The corpses last recovered
are little more than charred fragments.
Gross neglect is charged against the manage
ment Of the theatre. The law prescribes the
use Of oil lamps in the corridors of the the
aters, so that exits shall be observable in
the event Of the failure Of gas, but this pre-
caution was utterly neglected. The person
in charge Of the iron curtain between the
stage and auditorium appears to have fled at
the first alarm.

Cabinet

WAsHINGToN, December 9.-There is 8 re-
port that Hunt will remain in the Cabinet in
bis present position. One of his closest
closest friends says the talk of the President
to Hunt has been of q character to retain
him. Hunt expects to remain. He said
this morning that the talk that he will get
Bancroft Davis place on the Court Of Claims
is untrue, and he would not accept, if he was
offered, the circuit judgeship made vacant
by the appointment of Judge Woods to the
Supreme Bench by Prefident Garfield before
the latter was shot. Present indications are
that Hunt will remain in the Cabinet for a
few months longer at least.

THE success which Messrs. Lorillard and
Keene nave met with in England during the
past season has encouraged others to emulate
their example. Among the notes in the turf
world is the assertion that Mr.. Charles Reed
is teaching the famous FLY, s'Thora, to
jump, and that he will take her across the
water il the spring and to win the Grand
National Steeplechase, one Of the most i'm
portant races il the old country. Thora is q
FLY of rare speed on the fat, and has beaten
such 6rst.class horses IS Crickmore, Check
mate and Monitor. If she takes kindly to
jumping her chances for the Grand National
will be decidedly rosy

which he has 50 satisfactorily filled, we hope

The Utah Delega1eshIp.

New YORK, DECEMBER 5.-The Harazd's
Washington special says: Mr. Mcpherson,
prospective clerk OF the next house, is given
as authority for the statement that probably
the names Of the Delegates will not be called
till after the house is organized. 1t is then
probable that when Cannon's name is called,
he vii he objected to by Page Of California
Haskell of Kansas, or some other Western
man. This will bring UP the question who
is entitled prima facia, to the seat, Campbell,
who has the Governors certificate, or Can
non who has been placed on the rolls BY
the clerk? The precedent was established
in the Forty-Second Congress, when Cam .
himself had the certificate, and his right to
be sworn in was challenged by George +.
Maxwell, his contestant. Cox and Potter or
New York, and Hoar, Of Massachusetts,
Maynard of Tennessee, and others insist that
as Cannon has the certificate Of election
from the Governor Of the Territory, he must
be sWorn ID, and il was done accordingly.

POLITICAL POINTS.

In the ballot at Albany for Senator
on the 23tn ult.. for the short term. Potter got
40 votes, Wheeler AZ, and ConSling 81. For
the long term Depew had so, Herman 40, and
Plat o. The fact has developed that State
Senator Sessions was indicted for bribery, and
lac has been held to bail In $4,000. long
conference between the Republican factions
was held in the evening, and it is stated that
the administration men refused to trade on
the basis of Depew for the long term and
Conkling for the short ono.
The Republican State Committee OF
Virginia met in Richmond, June %, with full
ranks. John +. Lewis took the chair, but soon
called upon State Senator Early to preside. A
resolution cal ing upon Lewis and Gen. Wick
ham to resign was finally adopted. 1t was re-
solved that convention be held in Lynchburg
on Aug. TO- TO which no person would be ELI
gible MS delegate who had participated in the
ReaAju.ter Convention. j. W. Cochran (col-
ored), OF Rockingham, was elected Chairman.
The Greenbackers of the Second dis
trict of Maine have nominated w. r Gilbert

The Iowa Republican State Conven-
ton, held at Des Moinos, June 49, called to the
chair Hon. James Wilson. The delegates in at
tendance numbered 1,019. Hon. John Y. Stone
was made permanent Chairman. An intorma,
ballot for Governor gave Sherman 4l6 votes.
L .rrabee 36S, Harlan 146, Campbell rs and
Kimball II. On the twelfth ballot Sherman

was made unanimous. On the thiri
ballot o. IL. Mining of Carroll
county, was nominated for Lieutenant Cover
as candidate for Supreme Judge, and John w.
Ackers for Superintendent Of Public lnstruc-
ton.
The monotonous bulloting at Albany
shows little change. For the short term on
the Goth ult., Potter had 50 supporters, Wheeler
Al, and Co1lkng 80. For the long term, Ker-
nan got SO votes, Depew so, and Plat %.
In the ballot at Albany on the 30th

votes, Wheeler 43 and Conkling 49, For the
long term, Herman had SO supporters, Depew
81 and Platt %. motion in the Assembly to
adjourn sine die on Saturday was Ia
bled, the Democrats voting in the neg
alive. The Grand Jury indicted A. d. Barber
for paying E. r. Phelps Sl2,5O0 with which to
bribe State officers, and Charles A. Edwards
FOX receiving from Joseph Dickson $1,000 fos
the same purpose. Phelps was also arraigned,
and all three gave bail 1t is said that fifty
signatures to a call for a caucus were obtained,
but sixty-fvo were required. The latest sensa-
ton at Albany is q scandal involving the name
of Plaut.
On the announcement of ballot for
the long term at Albany, on the LIST inst, the
name of Thomas G. Plat was withdrawn, at
his own request, aud that of Crowley was sub
stituted. The ballot for the long term gave
Dcpew and Herman each 49 votes, Crowley 20.
and Cornell 10. For the short term Potter hac
AZ votes, Wheeler 49, and Conkling 28. The
Bribery Investigating Committee held meet
ing without reaching vote on its report.
