1.-THE VExED QUESTION -
REPORT OF THE UTAH COMMISSION TO 7
SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR

REPORT OF THE UTAH COMMISSION TO THE
SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
WAsHINGToE, December 5.-The Utah
Commission, in its report 10 the Secretary oil
the Interior, recommends that a msrrisge
law be enacted by Congress which would
form an auxiliary in the suppression of poly
gamy. The commission say that, owing to
the peculiar state of aft ,irs in Utah, the Ter.
ritorial law allowing women the right of suf.
frage is an obstruction 10 the speedy solution
OF ''the vexed question:" and should be re-
pe1led or annulled by Congress. The CON-
mission say the law mas so far been decided
success in excluding polygsmists from the
exercise of suffrage, and they are of the
opinion that the steady and continued en-
forcemeut of the law will plsce polygamy in
the condition OF gradual extinction. The
commission notices rs an encouraging sign
that many OF the "Liberap meetings have
been largely attended by the Mormons, and
that tn .se meetings have been chsracterizs ID
by exceptional good order and good humor
10 conclusion the report says, after counsel
ing moderation: III, however, the next ses
sion OF the Legislative Assembly elected un'
der the act of Congress shall fail to respond
10 the will of the nation, Congress should
have no hesitation in using extraordinary
measures 10 compel the people IN this Ter
ritory to obey the laws of the land"

CIEcINNATI has become famous as great
musical center. From the simplest forms Of
concerts the work Of musical advancement
has grown to what few years ago would
have been considered the impossible proper

week. This is to take place in January
next when there will be produced LAfi-
came, by Meyerbeer; SemirGnidc, by Rossini; /;
Don Giovanni, by Mozart; William Tel, by
Ros.ini; The Figiag Dutehndn, by Wagner;
Trariata, by Verdi; La SopnambuIa, by Bel
lini; LOhengrin, by Wagner. To interpret
this programme, the greatest living artistr,

been engaged, TO be supported by the rsgu-

orchestra of 100 instrumentAlists, under the
direction OF Arditi and Otto Sspger, by
noble and earnest public spirit, such
as the APPEAL desires TO arouse in Mem
phis TO help the Mozart Society in it's
work, especially in its effort 10 produce the

TIE PhiIadell hia Times states that the act
OF the Maryland Legislature of 1882 reviy-
ing the whippirg-post is to be contested as
unconstitutional. The case of Thomas
Foo;e, colOred wiie-beater, who was sen.
fenced to receive thirteen lashes, will be
used as The test case. Heretofore Delaware
has stood alone as the exponent OF corporal
punishment, but now that Maryland and
Virginia have adopted this sixteenth cen
tury custom the question of its usefulness or
barbarity will no doubt be thoroughly dis
cussed and decided. General agitation il
desirable. If the whippiug-post will put a
stop 10 wife-beatiug aud petty crimes il
should have place in every county Jail
but If it will not reduce the number of petty
crimes with better success than the peni.
tentiary prevents burglaries and the gallows
prevents murder', it should be left with the
other relics of the dark ages. Maryland and
Virginia will perhaps decide the question
within few moDih.

says that neither the whisky nor tobacco

Congress to pass bill for their relief, which

missioner of Internal Revenue at this session,

caused the appointment OF a committee of
investigation, of which Senator Window was
chairman, who repo led on The last day of the

for the charge. Thus the bill was postponed.

The part lie had taken in the affair, although
il was Will known that he had acted on the
attornsy-gsnersPs express advice. The talk
about the people OF the island being dissat-
isfed with their government and desiring an
nexation with the United States is sheer
nonsense.
Out of the 10000 whites, who are the rep
rssentatiye men of the island, 49, 900 at least
uphold the imperial government, and have
petitioned the homo government TO extend
Sir Anthony Mnsgra7e's period of Office.
This the English government rsidsed 10 do
on principle, because they do not believe In
allowing their governors to remain for two
terms in the same colonial station. The
Canadians made like petition in the case
of Lord Duferin, but they too were un-
successful. Sir Anthony Musgfa1e has done
much 20 improve the condition of the island
and will leave regretted by the best citizens
there. His term of Office will not run out
until late in the spring. After leaving ia
maica he will probably come to New York
and pass the s1mmer with his father-in-la law,
Mr.. Cyrus Field. Sir Anthony has lived in
the mountain district of the island during
the hot weather, and consequently his health

PENSIONS.
WHAT IT WILL COST TO PAY chem THE COM
ING YEAR

WAsHIEeToN, December 5-The statement
is made by S.nator Plau, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Pensions, in an inter-
view, that in his judgment S150,OOO,OO will
be required for the payment OF pensions in
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1884. Com
gress will make appropriations for that year
this winter. The amount appropriated for
the current fiscal year was Sl00, ,00O, 900. The
commissioner of pensions has asked Congress
TO give him for the fscal year ending June
so, 1884, SI03, ,952, $50, which includes ST.
377,9s0 for the payment of salaries, etc.
Congress, at S last session, authorized the
employment of very large number of ad-
ditional clerks, at an additional cost of ST.
100000, in order that the pending cases
might be promptly adjudicsted. The COM
missioner estimates that the sum named
above will meet the payments required as
the result of the increased clerical force and
judicial labor. 1t is possible that the clerks
will clear away so much of the accumulated
work as TO render the appropriation OF a
larger sum than this necessary. 1t is prob
ably this contingency which Senator Plat
had in mind

THE LITTLE NEW YORKER EXPRESSES HIM

WASHINGTON, December 5.-Sunset Cox
says he thinks il little premature for Car
Isle and Randall to be distributing the
Offices of the House, In view of the fact thst
Ken'uckv has only six votes for Speaker and
Pennsylvania only twelve, while New Y ork
will have nineteen. Mr.. Cox says his friends
are urging him to be a candidate, and if
they insist he may consent o enter the race.
He thinks Gen. Slocum good man for the
Office, and would willingly retire from the field
IN the generals favor. He thinks New York
will have candidate, and whoever they de-
eide upon will, iu his opinion, be the sue
cess!ul man. Mr.. Cox Believes there will be
little else accomplished at the present se--
sion than the passage of regular appropria-
lion bills, the consideration of which the
Democrats will not Interfere with unless
they contain riders that are not strictly ger
main. As to an extra session, Mr.. Cox be-
lieves the only prospect for one ia in the
Republicans attempting 10 force Legislation
on the appropriation bills. The Democrats
would undoubtedly hail with delight an OPP
portunity to reorganize the House and satisfy
the hungry horde of place-hunters who are
demanding office, but this would be an in
significant consideration compared with the
responsibility of bringing on an extra ses.
