gin their work Of blackmail on the southern
states. The whole scheme seems 30 ridcu-
lous and improbable as to create doubt
a. to whether it has any existence except in
some reporters hot.weather imagination. The
Herald's comment is comprehensive and to
the point "rho Confederate bonds are on
their face due and payable only ia a stated
number of years after the declaration Of
peace between the Confederacy and the
United States AN event which has not yet
happened and will never happen. The four
teenth amendment to the constitution de.
clares that neither the United States nor any
state shall assume or pay any debt or obliga-
ton incurred in aid OF instruction or rebel.
lion against the United States, or any claim
for the loss or emancipation of any slave
but all such debts, obligations or claims shall
be held Illegal and void This ought to be
conclusive to every human being except En-
glishmen and idiots"
Dispatches later than those above referred
to aver that all there is to this movement lies
in the fact that S11 900, 600 of money from
cotton sales was deposited by the Confederacy,
before its collapse, in certain banks in Eng
land, France, Holland and Belgium, to pay
the interest coupons Of July, 1865, and that
it is to secure this money, which is still lying
in those banks, that the European syndicate
is working The syndicate profess to have
good legal advice to the effect that the July
coupons must be paid by the banks out Of
this money on presentation, and it is said
that no bonds are bought that do not have the
July coupons. II the syndicate does not sue
coed the European banks will be Sill 900 600
ahead, as there is no doubt that that amount
of cash to the credit Of the Confederate States
is deposited there.

FROM the New 1urk Times
The ,ilicacy Of the Edmunds act will be
tested on Aug 6, when there will be a gener.
al election in Utah, at which members of the
legislature, sherids, judges Of probate and
9th local officers will be chosen. The act
provides that no person Of either sex who is
polyganist or bigamist shall be allowed to
vote or hold Office. The work of making a
new registration OF voters was intrusted to
the Utah commission, and the commissioners,
proceeding under the act, refused to II gister
any person who bad ever practiced polygamy
or bgamy. The chairman Of the commits.
sion declares that, as a result Of the commits.
sion's work, the next legislature must be
elected by mouogamists, but he is unwilling
TO predict that this legislature will enact laws
IN harmony with the spirit Of the Edmuuds
act.
1t is now said by persons in Utah who are
studying the political condition Of the t. ri.
tory that the influence Of polyRamists Who
have been disfrauchsod is still supreme.
From day TO day the nominations in the sew
eral counties are becoming known, and it ap-
pears that the Offices formerly held by polyg.
amists are hereafter 10 be held by their sons
who are entitled to vote and can hold Office.
1t Is also said that these SONS will attempt to
retain their fathers as deputies. We are also
told that each OF these county tickets received
the approval OF the head OF the Mormon
church and Of the Twelve Apostles, all Of
whom are polygamists. 1t is fair to suppose
that there could be placed upon a Mormon
ticket the name Of no one who did not &C.
knowledge the authority Of the Mormon
church and who did not support its doctrines.
Twelve years ago the right of suffrage was
conferred upon the women of Utah by the
territorial legislature, and it has been admit
ted by the commissioners that this law is a
great stumbling block in their path 1t is
said that there are in the territory 1s.722
male voters and / 494 female voters. and
that the church ticket in the coming election
will receive at least 50 per cent Of these
votes.
The Geutiles Of Utah hold that the Ed.
muuds act will be evaded, because the uomi.
nees who will be elected in August are com.
pletely under the control Of the church.
They may have proved TO the commissioners
that they had not practiced polygamy, it il
said, but they are polygamists because they
are Mormons, acknowl,d dying the authority
OF the Mormon prophe; and apostles, who
have been DISTINGUISHED. The commissioners
hold that they must disfrauchise only those
who were practicing or had practiced polyga.
my, but the Gentiles declare that Mormon.
ism cannot be effectively attacked until those
who maintain the lawfulness of polygamy as
well rs those who practice it shall be deprived
of the ballot and excluded from offices The
course pursued by the new legislature will
show whether the Gentiles are right or not
