\ DISTINGUISHED pcopIc.

An article with the above caution
in the NOH ImcrjcuH RcricIu is
attracting considerable attention. IT
was written bv the editor of the
Rcricr, from data furnished by IA
special representative, and deals with the
laws governing the legal right of persons
paying only poll taxes to vote in the State
Of Delaware. 1t seems that ever since the
admission Of Delaware into the Union as
Il State, voters have been compelled to
pay Il poll tax in order to secure the
privilege Of voting \ very few days are
allowed for this duty, and if the citizen
does not find the tax collector, which is
often difficult, he may be disfranchised
for two years. Under this arrangement
Delaware is really controlled by minor
ity gifts citizens. Rev. Edward Everett
Hale aptly calls it an oligarchy, in which
II minority is able to suppress the ma
jority.
1t is in this way that the Democrats
have managed to hold control of the State
legislature for so long. In the present
legislature the Republicans have two Sen
ators and no Representatives, Democratic
poll-taX voters, living for the most part in
. NIlt Itll ~ NNlNlN9 VI IIbpulttNlpii W lNlN
registration privileges are more acce.oi-
bic than in the rural districts and more
closely looked after by party managers,
have the advantage over Republican
voters of the same class in the
towns and villages Often the latter find
it next to impossible to secure the prvi-
legc Of voting, in the brief period allotted
for the payment of poll taxes. In time
under the light and pressure Of public
opinion, this may be changed. Certainly
/ it should he the endeaVOr of all legisla
tors to make the duty of voting as easy Il,
possible to the citizen. No unnecessary
obstacles should be thrown in the way OF
any class properly entitled to the fran
chise The patriotism of most men is not
of character lofty enough to ensure THEN
exercise of the right to vote in the face OF
/ legal restrictions. Delaware should en-
, franchise its voters

senator Edmunds'S Latest Mormon
RilI

The Mormon church was incorpol ated
under the laws of the so-called state of
Deseret," at the time when Brigham
Young was made its governor by presi-
dent Buchanan, and was vested with al
most unlimited political powers within
its Jurisdiction. The new Edmunds bill
provides that these powers shall be re
pealed by act of Congress that II com
mission be appointed by the President to
take charge of the temporal affairs of the
church. and that the attorney general
shall be authorized to institute and prose
cute proceedings to forfeit and eScheat to
the United States all of the property own
ed by the Mormon church, with the eX-
ception of the buildings used for public
worship and the secretary of the interi-
or is further empowered to sell the pro-
perty thus forfeited and invest the pro-
ceeds for the benefit of the public schools
The perpetual Emigrant Fund Compa-
n.y. also incorporated under the laws of
the State of Deseret, is to be disposed of
in the same manner. The United States
attorney general is empowered to dissolve
the corporation, pay its debts, dispose of
its property and devote the proceeds to
lIlc DtlltllN VI lHt pllbllt SCIOOlS. ne
constiiutionality of these stringent meas
ures is based upon the principle of the
absolute dominion of the United States
in its territories. The impCrium in inn
pCriO of Utah is the Mormon church with
its political powers, and institutions fun
damentally opposed to the spirit of the
constitution. AS such, the government
not only has the right to repeal the laws
Incorporating the sect, but it is its duty to
do so. Such an institution rs the Nor
mon church cannot long exist under the
laws of the Cuited States. One or the
other must give way-which shall it be ?
This question is answered by the bill. The
Mormon church-a political menace be-
sides II social blot in the history of this
country-must go. The way to get rid of
il is to strike mt the root. We have been
looping its branches long enough, only to
find that its vitality is SO great that prun-
ing adds 10 its fruittulncss. Senator Ed
munds's bill will be bitterly and strongly
opposed, but sooner or later it will have to
become law, if we are to rid ourselves of
1.-THE Mormon monster" Nothing less
stringent will do away with the gigantic
evil against which it is directed

WHAT THE SENATORS DID.
Bills Reported and Nomination> Made
Monday.


WA~uiNGToN, Dee. LIN the senate
Yesterday Mr.. lIoar from the committee
on judiciary reported tayorably the bill
fixing the salary Of United States district
Judge at $4,000. At 2:4O Il message was re
ccived from the President, transmitting
the Kelley correspondence recently called
for by Mr.. Dawes to regulate the rates
OF postage on second-class mail matter,
providing that if deposited in letter car
rirls offices for delivery by carriers. it
shall have an uniform rate of one cent per
pound.
Among yesterdays nomination, were
John GOode, Virginia, for solicitor gen
cral; Robert y. Howard, Arkansas, for
assistant attorney general Francis Whar-
ton, Pennsylvania, for examiner of claims
for the department of state. The Kelley
correspondence begins with letter to
Secretary Bayard from Baron Fava, Ital-
ian minister resident, dated April b. lSS5,
IN which he calls the attention to an edl-
torlal in the New York Herald in refer
cuCt to alleged utteranCcS of y. NJ. Kelley,
appointed minister to Italy, in regard to
that government, and says If the state
ment Is true 1t Is il most regretaOle one.
secretary Bayard replied among other
things that the defendant could not make
editorials of newspapers in relation To
alleged utteranceS, fourteen years pre-
vious of Il gentleman selected to
represent the government in IA foreign
country, the basis of discussion.
The Secretary goes on to say that the GOV
eminent sought to fulfil its honorable and
amlcable duty towards the Italian GOV
eminent and it is unnecessary to sug-
gest that having prollered gentleman of
the highest personal character and who
entertained no other sentiments to-
wards Italy than those of en-

The New York MAJ ana Express pub
fishes an interview with Mr.. Cyrus W.
Field, in which that gentleman strongly
endorses Mr.. Edmundss postal telegraph
bill. Among other things, Mr., Field
said
am clearly of the opinion that the time
has arrived when the United States gov
eminent should purchase all the tele.
graph lines III the country. All the tee-
graph lines in the Old World belong to
the governments of the countries in which
they are located. 1t would be a great con
venience to the public if every telegraph
office was pOstOilice and every postoiice
II telegraph office. AS letters are sent to
all and every part of the United States
for two cents and papers and magazines
at one cent Tor every four ounces, so
should II telegraph message be sent to
any part of the United States ut the
lowest price ut which experience has
shown it possible that the same can
tie done. The press, which sends
long messages, should be charged
half the rates paid by the general public
principle should be adopted in making
all the purchases, and every one concern
ed should agree to be bound by that prin-
clple. The telegraph companies should
according to my belief, sI'ect an arbitra-
TOR, and the government choose another
II these two disagreed they ought to have
Il third, who should be man thoroughly
experienced and regarded rs an expert in
the business. The arbitrator should have
power to examine all reports and accounts
so as to arrive at the fact as to the actual
net profits the line or lines had earned
during the year 1855. The government
should then establish rs II principle that
the stock of the company which had earn
eel per cent clear profit over and above
every expense must be rated at par in
making the purchase.

The New York Commercial remarks
upon this as follows We are naturally
disposed to look with favor upon meas
ureS that have the approval Of senator
lIdmunds, for whose wisdom, statesman
snip ami patriotism we have the most I'M
bounded respect but there are objections
to his postal telegraph scheme, introduced
in the Senate yesterday, which seem to
Us to outweigh any real or imagined adj
Vautagc~ to be gained by it.
1t needs little reflection to enable rs to
see that the fresh army of government
servants that the adoption ui "A postal tel
cGraph system would bring into the field
constitute, Il very serious objection to the
bill. We do not doubt that Mr.. EdmundS
would take SCrupulOuS care if his bill be
should be taken of the government in
the way OF payment for existing
lines and plant; but no precautions
OF this sort could avert the advantage that
might be taken of the people 10y the addl-
ton of tens of thousands of place holders
to the already enormous civil service list
II Is the conviction of the SOuudcst think
erS that the length Of that list and the eN-
tent OF the appointing powers constitute Il
source OF very grave danger to our ln~tl-
lions, and at least until the civil service
shall have been taken finally out Of poll
tics 10y law and Wcll--etticd custom, there
will he the best Of reasons for avoiding
such an increase in the number of places
To be filled H. the adoption of a postal tcle-
graph system would involve.
This is plausible objection and of
Cour,e made the most Of by the monupo-
lists. But it has little actual weight

take advantage OF the people We

1t seems hardly possible that such n
relic of barOarism as capital punishment
for the crime of stealing should survive
in any enlightened community. But the
Geographic dispatches state that two men
were recently hanged in Charlotte, North
Carolina, for the crime of burglary-not
by lynchers, but at the hands Of the law.
If North Carolina wants to come within
hailing distance of the rest of the world in
this era of grace she will promptly abolish
all such barbarOuS features of her code.
Mr.. Joseph Cook in his recent lecture in
this city said that the murder of IA few
more innocent Chinese travellers and la
bOrers in our western territories might eN-
cite reprisals upon American merchants
and missionaries on the part of China.
The Presidents apology to China for these
outrages, in his message, is none too
humble. Chna's forDearance III this mat
ter is remarkable. What would the
American government have done or de
manded, if the circumstances had been re-
Versed
