Wo do not sec how there can bo any con-
siderable opposition either in congress or in
tho state legislatures to tho amendment to
tho constitution proposed by Gen. Rosecrans
to abolish polygamy, and to give congress full
power to enforce the amendment. The adop-
ton OF the amendment would not interfere
with any mans religious belief Mormons
could continue to believe that polygamy ia
permitted by the divine law, but many things
which are not declared universal arc pro-
hibled by our laws, 1t is every mans right
to btlieve slavery to be divine institution
but o man can own slaves in this country.

The contest for the spc akership will close
this evening. Tho indications point strongly
to Carlisle's election. If it be true, as as
serted, that the Randall men raised the Sec
tional cry, they must now see their mistake
The "dare not elect southern man" argu-
ment seems to have had the effect of making
an almost solid south for Carlisle, which now
seems to have the swagger of success almost
assured. 1t is very evident that the solid
south knows its strength and that it dares
assert it. Tho logic that carries Mr., Carlisle
into the speakership, because he comes from
the section of country solidly democratic, car
ried out to its legitimate conclusion, will die

Judge Holman said: The sun forgets that the

has grown TO be q profession. Men enter into it
as they do into other pursuits that require SKILL

NATIONAL THEATER.

NATIONAL THEATER.
The production of now play is always q
matter of interest, but there was moro than
ordinary anticipation felt in regard to tine
presentation of For Congress- at the Ma
tional theater last night. The fact that the
author ofthe play was Mr.. ID. ID. Lloyd, OF the
New York Tribune, gave an additional inter-
est to the occasion and drew to
the theatcr large number of newspaper
mon. Indeed, the audience that greeted the
now play was noticeable one,lnot only on
account of its immense size, but because of
the number of distinguished persons scattered
about in tho auditorium. The President
occupied box, and number of able states
men found temporary relief from the cares Of
electing speaker in laughing at the telling
hits upon political topics with which "For
Congress" is filed.
The play, though called comedy, is in
reality four-act farce, tho main motive
being the exploits of Gen. Josiah Timber. a
professional politician, to nominate and elect
Peter Woolley, modest and respectable old
gentleman, to congress. The methods of
working conventions, securing votes, getting
up receptions for the candidate, aud iufluenc-
ing elections are all broadly satirized, and
while many Of tho pungent expressions are
not new, they arc happily introduced and
mado thoroughly effective, Tho love affair
of Timber with Miss Jermima Grimm, q
woman's suffrage woman, is complicated
and made very amusing by the mis-
taken delivery of letter intended fol
her to Miss Susan Muffin, widow
and Mr.. Woolley's sister, and the at
tichment of Mr.. Charles Montgomery, tn
rival candidate for congress, for Miss Annt

The work of the office is largely in arrears,

idly increa sing business in the office. As tho
fees exacted of inventors not only pay all the
expenses Of the patent office, but furnish
surplus for the treasury, IL does not appear
TO be unreasonable on tho part of such in
ventors to demand that their work should be
promptly done by competent men. 1t is
great hardship on the inventor, who has paid

cerning his application, to be told that for
