On last Saturday was witnessed
an unusual spectacle At the United
States Capitol; both houses of Con-
Gress were in session throughout
the day The memory of the old.
est chronic.er rune not to the con-
trary that Congress has always ad-
journed over the first Saturday Of
the first week of the session. The
fact that neither house took the
accustomed Saturday holiday ls un-
derstood to mean that the house
means business. Indeed, the &C
tiVlty Of Congress- during the first
week Of the sessioo is matter OF
general comment. o. course every

In our humble opinion the most
important bill yet offered during the
present session of Congress was that
introduced last week by Represen-
tatlVe SPRINGER, OF Illinois, propos-
ing constitutional amendment re-
latipg TO the election oil President
Vice President and members of Con
gress. 1t fixes the term OF President
and Vice-President at six years and
makes the President ineligible to
election for the next succeeding
term abolishes The electoral college
and provides for direct vote for
President. The term of members Of
Congress is fixed at three years.
Mr. SPRINGER is a Republican, but
that does not, or should not, change
or modify the fast that bis propo-
sition not only carries with it all the
reason and common eense involved
in the question, but it is altogeth her
essentially and peculiarly Democrat
ic in letter and spirit.
The advantages which would be
secured to the country in the adop-
ton of such plan as is proposed by
MIR. SPRIEGER's bill, are Az manifest
as they are vitaly important. It
you'd rid Us Of the Electoral COL
lege--an sntiquated, cnmbrous, com
plicated and anti-DemoGratic ma
chine that has shown itself to be
ready and potent instrument in the
hands of rascality to defeat and set
aside the popular will Of the nation.
II would also relieve the country Of
the humiliation. Generalization and
official abuses resultant from Presi-
dental Pipe-laying for a second or
third term, remove the recurring
Presidential contests from every four
years to every si1 years, and the
Congressional elections from every
two years to every three years.
AS device for the equalization OF
Of national representation 10 the days
Of slavery, the electoral college or
come such system was necessary, but
the ezigency which called it into ex.
istence has passed away. Born Of
slavery, it sho1ld not have been per
mitted 10 survive il.

The saints of mormondom are be-
coming slightly agitated over the COM
plexion they have assumed in the eyes
of Washington law makers, and have
proceeded to protect themselves as our
Christian churches are fighting them,
by resolutions.
In the proceedings of the council of
the Utah legislature, as published in the
Tribune, Is found the following sooth-
ing compound of American eagles, star
Spangled banners, polygamy and United
States history:
Councillor Thatcher offered a concur
rent resolution, which set forth that as
the government of the United States
had been misled by a false and unrea-
soning mob Of religious clamorers, and
were about to pass unjust laws which
would d~isfranchise the good citizens of
Utah and desolate thousands of happy
homes, from which the voice Of prayer
was daily ascending, it begged congress
to pause and recollect the baptism of
the glorious flag of the Union and the
honored traditions Of Washington,
Adams and Jefferson, and while paus-
ing, to send out a commission with
power to send for persons and papers
and fully investigate the question.

On Monday evening the McAllister
company will appear in this city, pre-
senting London Assurance, a play
which is sufficiently well known to
need 40 introduction. The company
goes from here to Denver, where they
play a two weeks season at the Tabor
Grand. That the entertainment will
be everything an audience could desire
Is assured by the success ST the compa-
ny else where, as shown by the fiatter-
idg notices Of the press. In an extend.
ed critique in the Hastings, Mich,
r9lRy News are found the following
e1Aplimentary words:
The McAllister company surpass all
theatrical organizations that have ever
visited the northwest. Every person
participating in their repepertoire is
perfect In voice, action and e1-
preston. Their plays are the
very best, their make ups to suit,
Snd their scenery applicable in every
speciality. Their performance OF Hon.
eYmoon last night delighted a fair audi
once, and although lasting until nearly
eleven O'Clock, the audience was sorry
when the curtain closed upon the final
scene. Miss McAilister is an artist of
the highest merit, and she has selected
for her support those who are accom-
plished In the profession"
The diagram of seats is displayed at
Hollis, and the most desirable positions
go to the earliest buyers of course.
On Wednesday .eTening Jarrett &
Rice's Fun on the Bristol party will ell

afternoon matinee.
On Friday evening, at Library Hall,
In the new opera house, will occur the

direction of Mr.. Whitcomb, and which
promises to be the musical event of the
