Virginia.

The senate of Virginia consists of forty
members, of which number sixteen are
Bourbon Democrats, twenty-three Read
iusters, and one straight Republican. A
bill to district the State for congressional
purposes recently passed the house of
delegates by strict party vote, and was
Thursday defeated in the senate by a
vote of sixteen in the affirmative and
nineteen in the negative. 1t was OPP
posed by all the Bourbons, by four Re-
adiusters, and by Mr.. Wingfeld, the
straight Republican. One of the four
Readjusters who voted against it was q
Rcpubican-Mr. Williams, of Nottaway
County. 1t is exultingly stated by the
Bourbqps that if this apportionment bill
had passed the Administration party
would have elected eight of the ten
members of Congress, Under the old APP
portionment not more than two can be
assured. 1t remains to be seen whether
Messrs Williams and Wing6eld or either
of them will join with the other senators
favorable to reapportionment in devils
ing bill which can be passed. Six
members of Congress may determine the
complexion of the next House of Repre-
sentatives Twenty of the twenty-four
anti-Bourbon senators can surely agree
upon a measure, and with the casting
vote Of the chair that number would be
sufficient. The occasion is one that calls
for good temper, mutual concession, and
higher devotion to a cause than to any
personal wishes. We are unwilling to

No, not at all; Polygsmy will, after q
while. be done away with; as it is now,
q polygamist can no longer hold office.
The Mormon church will not suffer
particularly. The people are not any
resdisr to risk term in the state prison
in Utah than they are in any other state.
The TTi6u7e'S editorial on the above
is that polygAmy may be the first to go,
but it will not be the last. More legisla-
ton may be needed, but finally, under
the new laws of Utah it will be much
more attractive place of residence than it
is now. Then Is Christianity and decent
civilization spread through the territory.

this church will crawl away not only
