A GOOD deal of eloquence was expended on

but happily the debate was entirely free

Mr. Cox delivered the longest speech of the

regular report of the proceedings whether
he favors the extension of the bonded period

What Shall be Done with Mormonism 7

Extract from Joseph COOKS Lecture,
Congress has the same power in Utah as in the
District of Columbia. Nevertheless there exists
in the basin states and territories an American
Buebeard's chamber, full Of dead mems bones
and all uncleanness. For twenty-five years the
American Bluebeard has been standing with one
hand on the locked door Of his chamber of hor-
rors, and with the other has been knocking for
admittanoe to place among the legislators of the
foremost Christian republic on earth. Buebeard
wants seat in the senate He is becoming i'm.
Fortunate.
AS to the pest house ruled by the American
Bluebeard bIr. Beecher says; Hands off," Pres.
ident Arthur says: Hands on" use only
moral measures against Mormonism," says the
former Use moral measures" says the latter,
" but the stoutest legal measures also"
When Mr. Beerher says "hands off from Nor
monism !" the ablest men in Utah have difficulty
in keeping hands off from him. Once he sent
Sharps rifles TO Kansas; why is he not sharp
enough to-day to avoid the necessity of ultimately
sending Sharp's rifles to Utah? Let us have the
stoutest constitutional measures applied to the
eradication Of Mormonism, and we shall not need
theTiles; but without the legal remedies we shall
ut last need the guns.
