MORMON WOMEN.

Probably no American woman ever en-
gagged publicly in more degrading occupa-
ton than that of lobbying in Congress for
the defeat of measures calculated to break
up polygamy in Utah. Two or three Nor
mon women are now in Washington on this
errand. Their mission and the zeal with
which they present their case prove that any
law which overlooks the women of that ter
ritory must necessarily fall short. They are
as bad as the men. They are not the tear
full sufferers and helpless victims which the
sentimentalists would have us believe
They are fanatical supporters of the odious
system of plural marriage, and they rejoice
in their own degradation. The presence of
these shameless lobbyists at the capital
should have the effect of opening the eyes
of Congressman to this fact. When it shal
be possible to put polygamous woman in
the penitentiary as well as polygamous
man, the Federal Government will have
more respect in Utah than it now enjoys.
The above is from the Chicago Herald,
and is in the main correct as an abstract
principle, although practically it is doubt
full whether the necessity exists for in
cluding polygamous women in the penalty
provision OF that portion OF the criminal
law. Neither would it scarcely be con-
sistent with the spirit OF justice, which is
ever lenient TO the victim, even although
participator in the crime instigated and
principaled by the victimizer. That the
female lobbyists at Washington do not
represent the heartfelt sentiments OF u
majority OF the Mormon women of Utah,
even those living in polygamy, there is
no question, and it would be unjust
that the latter unfortunates should be
made to suffer for the shamelessness
and iniquity Of their more hardened
sisters. 1t is seldom that Mormon
woman seeks to enter into the polyg-
amous state. She is sometimes sought
and prevailed upon by appeals to her
feminine weaknesses, but oftener to her
religious fanaticism, which induces her to
sacrifice her life's happiness in this, for
the crown OF glories she is taught to be-
leye awaits her in the world 10 come.
The man is the betrayer and she the be-
trayed, and he should be made to suffer
the penalties for both The present
maximum punishment is 80 inadequate
to the crime and its suppression that it
may almost be designated farce.
Six months in the penitentiary with good
living and nothing to do, has
but little terror for the aver

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Some of the Republican papers i'll the
East are congratuating their party upon
the prospect that it will have the control
of the Lower as well as the Upper House
of Congress next session. Their hopes
are based upon the Republican gains in
some of the recent municipal elections in
a number of the States. Let us see what
grounds there are for this prediction ex-
ultation. The present House Democratic
majority is 45. The following are States
in which both parties will agree
that there is no probability OF any
material change so far as the
political complexion of the members is
concerned Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maine Minnesota,
Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia. 1t is more than
probable ii there should be any changes
in the above named States that one will
offset the other, and neither party can
count upon any loss or gain. California,
owing to the Blaine boom and certain
local causes at the last Congressional
election, has at present five Republican
and one Democratic members
much out of the usual pro-
portion for that State. The
Golden State is almost certain to gain
two and probably three for the Demo-
Gratis, with more than equal chances for
one in Nevada. Michigan has seven
Democrats and four Republicans, with a
better prospect of n gain than loss for
the former. The Republicans can
only hope to hold their own in
Indiana, and will be we'll salts
fed if they do not lose the district
represented by Mr.. Steele, who was only
elected by majority of 54. Maryland is
represented by only one Republican, who
is more than likely to have Democratic
successor. Two Republicans from Mis-
souri, and three from Tennessee
with more likelihood OF loss than
gain for that party at the next
election. New Jersey has three Demo
Gratis and five Republicans, and any
change will be favorable for the former
There is no good reason for anticipating
any change in New York or Pennsylvania
the latter being represented by eight
Democrats and twenty Republicans
Possibly the Republicans may gain {
few congressman in Iowa, Illinois, Mas
sachusetts and Ohio, but there is nothing
certain about it, and the aggregate vii
not more than counterbalance the losses
they are almost certain to incur else
where. Then where is the showing to-
wards overcoming the forty-fve Demo
cratic majority in the present House
There is certainly no good reason to feal
that the Democrats will not have a good
working majority in the Lower House o.
the Fiftieth Congress.

A pREJUDICED NEws-GATHERER

Ex-Congressman Cassidy is evidently not
on good terms with the Agent of the Asso-
ciated Press at Washington, who makes up
political dispatches for the newspapers of
this coast. The Agent says Cassidy desires
to represent Nevada again in Congress, and
to secure crumbs of patronage for his
friends. AS the Federal offices in Nevada
are neither numerous nor lucrative, and aru
mostly held by the political oponents of
Cassidy, the Associated Press man only
wrote himself down an ass, and gave vent to
his prejudices without regard to facts, when
he penned that dispatch Winnemuccd
(Neu.) !Silrer State.
The matter referred to appeared among
our morning contemporaries special dis
patches on the 18th inst, and was COM
mented upon by the DEMOCRAT OF that
date Wenotice the same matter, couched
in identical language, among the general
dispatches of San Francisco evening
paper OF the same day. This is either an
extraordinary coincidence or indicates
concert OF action between, or identity OF,
the telegraphic news-gatherer of the
Tribune and that of the San Francisco
paper above referred to, as it never ap-
peared in the regular Associated Press
dispatches. We are confident that it did
not originate with the editor OF the
Tribune, who is in Washington, and to
whom its authorship has, in our opinion,
been unjustly ascribed by some of the
people here. Its contemporaneous ap-
pearance in San Francisco paper is
almost conclusive evidence of the injus-
tice OF the supposition. That the Silver
States classification of the author is cor
rect, no one at all conversant with the
facts will for moment question.

Mr.. MAuDsLEY, the Central American
explorer, has been thoroughly exploring
the ruins OF the city OF Copan, in Guate-
mala. He reports that these ruins are
identical in character with the Maya re-
mains in Yucatan. He made the i'm
portant discovery that there is an initial
column common to all the inscriptions,
which points to the possible key of the
Maya hieroglyphics.

THE NINE DISASTER IN WEST VIRGINIA.
The frightiul explosion in the Orrell mine at
Newburg, w. Va, ON Thursday, killed all but
one of the 40 men who were in the shaft AT the
time. The cause OF the awful disaster is attrib-
uted to the removal of bulkhead across ono
OF the ventilating galleries, which turned the
fresh air from its proper course and permitted
the accumulation OF fre-damp. This WAS
ignited by naked lamp. When the explosion
occurred the cages were At the bottom oT tho
shaft, and the tremendous force resulting from
the combustion crushed them and the heavy
timber lining of the shaft into confused mass.
This destruction OF the cages obliged the rcscuers
TO resort to the iron coal buckets as "A means of

THE BODY DIVIDES ON PARTISAN LINES AND
ADJOURN TO DETERRENT TIMES.
After the report Of THE STAR correspondent
at Columbus, Ohio, closed yesterday afternoon,
the excitement in the senate grew more intense
and the lieutenant governor declared carried
motion made by a republican to adjourn until
10 o'clock this morning. Mr.. O'Neill, who was
president pro tenn. of the senate, then took the
chair, and the democrats section of the body
proceeded to business. They reversed a part OF
the previous proceedings, although they did
not reconsider the minority report regarding
the Cincinnati cases, and finally adjourned to
p. M, Monday. The republican senators, a
few of whom remained in the chamber took no
part in these proceedings Thus there are vir-
tually two senates at Columbus, and there is
much speculation as to what the outcome of the
present bitter contest will be. The republicans
will meet to-day, but will not have q working
majority. About all the democrats left for their
