The smalI.Pox at Bethlehcm

PnILADRLpHIA, March ia special from
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania says: The small
pox excitement at South Bethlehem con-
tinues undated. One hundred and twenty
cases are now reported in a small town Of
about 1000 inhabitants. The faculty of
Lehigh university decided this morning to
allow any students to leave who desired,
until further notice, and the students are
nov hurriedly leaving. Many heads of fam.
lilies are arriving on every train.
taking their daughters from this school
which is located on hill short distance
from town. 1t is probable that the scare
will close the school also. 1t is too early to
state definitely the violence of the disease,
although it is known that several cases of
continent smallpox have been reported
No deaths as yet. The authorities are talk
ing about arresting the drunken doctor
who visits the patients and then travels
around with the same clothes ON. Ten
more houses were quarantined this fore
noon.

ANrI-roLyGAMY.

The house OF representatives day before
yesterday after considerable debate, passed
the anti-polygamy bill. So our Geographic
reports inform us. We trust that the evils
supposed to exist in the territory of Utah,
if actual, will be met and corrected by this
proposed legislation thereon, but we can
not see from the manner of its conception
and enactment how it will be done. Aside
from the objections to the bill
on constitutional grounds, there will most
likely be found other and graver
troubles in the way. How is it possible for
three hundred men in Washington to frame
statute that will operate successfully and
with ease in the eradication of abuses in
distanttcrritory, about which not one OF
the three hundred probably has an intelli-
gent conception, and which the anti
polygamy residents of Utah themselves are
unable to uncover? Legislation con-
ceived in political or religious preiu-
dice by men unacquainted with all,
save the newspaper accounts, of a
system and hastily rushed forward to graf

have to be variously aud often doctored
before ii accomplishcs the desired object.
Innumcrable violations and evasions of the
law, which could not under the circumstan-
ces be anticipated, may be looked for, and
the last state of Utah will be worse than
the first. Then again, as urged by the oppo-
nents OF the bill Tues day, the political and
governmental affairs Of the territory will
inevitably be thrown into state of
anarchy and much costly confusion must
result. AS before contcnded by us, q com
mission of mixed character ought first to
have seen by personal and thorough in
vestgation where the bad features of the
Mormon church were and how best they
could be corrected, and then intelligent
legislation to reach the desired end might
have proceeded thereon. If polygamy
there is the institution of lust and not
religion, and if, as it is claimed, its own
victims long for its abolition, let those
facts be learned and then let practical
craftsmanship devise remedy which shall
not be Objectionable either for its unconsi-
nationality or impracticablity, or its ten
dency to create revolution. We view this
matter just as we do all political questions
Of moment--not from moral, but prac.
tlcal and utilitarian standpoint, allowing
to every ono the utmost latitude of opinion.
If the present bill indeed really
strikes at and will correct foul
blot upon our civilization" all
good and well, but from its conception
and manner OF development and passage
We greatly fear it will prove an abortive
and ridiculous attempt to abolish prac-
tice or strike down system about which
tho outside world and even the brilliant
legislators at Washington know literally
nothing, OF if anything, merely from the
hcarsay testimony of political and religious
enthusiasts

AN ABSURD PROPOSITION.

We are lplOrmed that Dill has been but
recently introduced in the New York legis.
laturc, providing that the governor, secre-
tary of state and II half dozen other officials
shall be carried over all the railroads in
that state free of charge. We have never
before heard of such bill, and are aston
lshed that any man intelligent and promi-
nent enough to DO returned to the assem-
bly, OF the Empire State would take it upon
himself to-champion meas urc of such
manifest absurdity. The same princi-
pie would include any and all
officials of the state however numerous or
however Insignificant, and the same au.
thority which could say such and such men
should be carried free by the railroads,
would be equally entitled to declare that
all citizens Of New York could go, without
charge, wherever they chose in the borders
of their state. 1t isamusing but almost be.
yond comprehension to notice the various
attacks upon the railroads by the
average legislator. These latter seem
to think because the roads
represent a great amount of capital and run
through great extent of country and
carry the general public, that they there.
fore belong to tho state, and can be ma
nipulated and controlled by the hair.
Drained Legislation Of any member of the

every such'case an attempt is made to vic.

and set at naught the recognized

| corporations to manage them in accord.
ancc with their own views. Railroads,
like water-works.or IN iron-mill, are private
property, and no more subject in reason to
special legislation and the imposition of
special burdens than any other property,
and 1t is 10 be hoped that some time or
other men will be elected 10 office with
sufficient enlightenment and liberality OF
thought to appreciate this fact. All these
attempts to make railroads do so and so
are not only foreign to the true channels of
legislation, but invariably arise from a. dem
agorical spirit which is as contemplate
and disgustingas wanting in justice and rca.
son. No legislature or Legislative assembly
has any right to say who shall or shall not
ride free ON the railroads, or what these

and thoroughly Disguised at the regularly
recurring efforts of the politicians and dem.
agoguos to got solid" with the great public

Just as much reason and right the

The Strike.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March l5.-The strik-
ing .spnners assembled this morning at the
mill gate, but created no disturbance.
Many went into the mill and removed their
private effects, going quietlyt to their homes.
Owing TO the strike about $50 spoilers and
Wrappers are thrown out of employment
temporarily, making q total number at
present unemployed of about $50. The
spinncrs appear determined not to resume
work unless wages are made at old figures.
New help will not be employed Tor some
time, rs the authorities of the mills propose
to give the strikers reasonable time to con.
slider the matter of returning. Among the
weavers in the worsted department great
dissatisfaction prevails, and strike is
feared.
