QUICKLY ANSWERED.

The Bee asserts that since the consolida.
ton of the Record and Union, the RECORD
UNION "has lost number of subscribers
"equal to the circulation of the Onion
" and Record at the time Of consolidation,
land that at the present time its entire
" circulation does not exceed, by many, if
sat all, the circulation of either of those
"papers some seven or eight years ago. "
The Bee wants to know chow this is %
We answer that it is an unmitigated and
preposterous lie. The circulation of the
RECORD UNION has not declined. On the
contrary it has been steadily increasing
from year to year, and is to-day larger
than at any previous time, and far larger
than the joint circulation of the Record
and Union at the time of the consolidation.
The Bee should not tell such stupid lies.
It should be content with the lie which it
keeps standing at the head of its editorial
columns, about its own local circulation.

DANA AND THE moRBY LETTER.

1t is intinated that Dana knows who
wrote the Morey letter, and that he knew
it to be forgery many days before it was
exposed, and that, knowing this, he suf.
fered innocent men to be imprisoned on
account of it. This is serious accusation,
but Dana is accustomed to be abused, and
no longer minds it, whether it is true or
false. If he knows all about the Morey let.
ter he may be relied upon to keep his in.
formation to himself until he can hurt
somebody by publishing it, and unless he
can do mischief with it he is quite capable
of concealing it as long as he lives. It is
no use appealing to him to crafty public
curiosity on the subject. He is too old a
bird to be caught with chaff of that kind.

THE CITY DEBT.

A meeting has been called for this after
noon. to discuss the city debt, and to ar
range some means of putting an end to the
constant disputes and injurious representa-
tons which are made concerning the sub.
iect. We trust that this meeting OF
property owners and taxpayers viii begin
by informing itself thoroughly as to the
actual situation; and that it will not com.
nit the mistake of attempting to formu-
late programme upon inaccurate or i'm.
perfect data. Those who have examined
the question most thoroughly long since
reached the conclusion that the city has no
other course but to pay its debts. All the
talk about evading judgment, about the in
ability of the bondholders to compel pay
ment, and SO forth, is moonshine. 1t
has no support in legal decisions or in
common sense. The only possible result
of experimenting in the direction of repu-
diation could be to fasten upon the COM
munity the stigma of dishonesty, without
in any way relieving it Of its obligations.
The folly, and worse, of all these PROPOSE
tions, has been demonstrated so often that
it is not necessary to go over the consider
atoms again at this time. Probably the
only effect of continuance of such dis
honest and silly propositions would be to
precipitate the danger which it is the in.
terest of every intelligent person in Sacra-
mento to avoid. So far as the handling Of
the debt question is concerned, therefore,
the aightforward, honest way is the only
one available; but it does not follow
that it is impossible to make better terms
for the city if the outstanding bonds could
be redeemed from the present holders, and
carried by those who would possess an in,
terest in Tightening the burden of the city
as much as possible. If something of that
kind can be brought about it will certainly
be well worth whatever trouble is bestowed
upon it, but any attempt to wriggle out of
the existing obligations will bring down
upon our heads far worse evil than has
ever yet befallen US. If the indebtedness
could be refunded at a low rate of interest
with long term, or with the shortest
term obtainable, the arrangement would
make such reduction il the tax.rate posi-.
BILE as would have most important effect
in building up the city. It is very well
known that high tax rate frightens in
vestors away, and it should be equally well
apprehended that if investors think there is
any danger of Judgment and execution for
heavy debs being entered against city,
they will be very careful not to settle
there. The meeting to-day will do well to
reflect upon these things, and if it begins
by appointing a committee to ascertain and
present the exact condition of the city
finances, it will put itself in fair way to
ind solution for the whole problem by
upright and business-like methods.

poog RosEcRANs.

General Rosecrans has much reason to
complain of the resurrection of the Gar,
field Chase letter, for it has set all Gar.
fields friends to proving that the latter's
criticism of his old commander was jastif-
able, and they have brought to light some
facts which really go far to show that Gar.
field did not hit half hard enough. The
statement about the dispatch sent to
Stanton from Chattanooga on the afternoon
of the first day of the battle of Chicka-
1nauga tells terribly against Rosecrans from
a military standpoint A General capable
of sending such dispatch at such time
could not have been fitted for an important
command.

CANkoN ON PoLYGAMY.

The Mormon Delegate Cannon has been
expatiating upon the beauties Of polygamy.
but he has not brought forward any new
Arguments. We have sometimes wondered
why the Mogmons did not furnish them
selves with weapons from the armory Of
the ecclesiastical author Of the strange
treatise entitled Poiygamia 1riunapldtTiT,
which was published in the sixteenth
century, much to the scandal of the Church
at the time. MIR. Cannon, however, con.
tents himself with the hackneyed argument
drawn from the alleged absence of prostitu-
ton in polygamous societies. The newt
aule answer 10 this, of course, is that the
reason why there is no prostitution per Sc
III polygamous eocieties, is that polygamy
itself is neither more nor less than a
legaliza!ion of prostitution. Precisely IN
the same way it might be said that there
were no thieves among the Lscedemouians
the fact being that larceny was taught
and encouraged under the Spartan laws.
Cannons argument on this head has nc
force, and his statements about the de.
lights and beauties of his favorite system,
as illustrated by the peculiar vigor and
health of the children, are open to serious
doubt. They. in fact, belong in the pos
hoc ergo propter hoe line of arguments.
The children, he says, are healthy and
vigorous; therefore polygamy has made
them go. This is non Se9uitUr The
climate, simplicity of diet. many Other
agencies, may be posted as the
causes of the phenomena he describes
Or the truth Of his statement may be i'm
peached. AS to his pretense that poly gamy
produces a superior order Of domestic rela
tons, it is SO palpably and VIGOROUSLY un
true that refutation is hardly required
That polygamy destroys the family is
undeniabie. 1t tends to produce q kind o.
communistic relation which is also Of
necessity fatal to all delicacy and refine
Inent among the women. and to all those
home influences which have ever been the
most potent factors in civiliz ,tion. The
children who have mothers bat no fathers
are virtually hali-orphans from their birth
just as the women are much less than half
wives. The whole arrangement is pro
ductive of consequences so miscellaneous
that it never could have been maintained
all these years had not the Mormon Church
initiated system of literal terrorism
whereby the authority of the husband wa
increased TO that of the master over hi
slaves The women were cowed anC
brutaEzed at the same time, and the mer
were bIutalized themselves in the process
Only the coaIser feminine organ z,tioni
could stand the torture. The finer ouei
succumbed under it, and lie to day in tn,
