SAINT JOSEPH, THE Son OF BRIGHAM You've,
is genuine chip Of the cid block. His testi-
mony in behalf Of Mormondom and Mormon
polygamy, as given to visiting HERALD
reporter and published In our columns yester-
day, shows the young man to be an apt scholar
in the Mormon philosophy and logic Of the old
man. The representative in Congress of the
Salt Lake Saints, Mr.. Hooper, who was also
present as an eloquent defender of the Saints,
is hardly equal to Saint Jo;" but, as the
profound Dogberry expresses it. s'Fore God,
they are both in tale" They are down upon
the Gentiles, down upon all interloping scala
wags, down upon Congress and down upon
''Mr. Grant" Like JEFF Davis and his fellows
Of the late Southern confederacy, they want to
be let alone, and they cannot see anything In
the constitution to justify these outside inter
ferences in their domestic affairs. Against
such philosophers there is no argument but the
argument Of stubborn facts, and so we must
leave the Salt Lake Saints to the stubborn
facts, which they will soon begin to realize in
the progress Of the present Gentle movement
upon Utah in search of silver aud gold

Report Of the Postmaster GoaeraI.

department during the last year. He has
enlarged his mail facilities and has reduced the
deficiency in his revenue. The burden of the
Congressional franking privilege is the dead
weight upon the department which renders Il
impossible to meet its expenses from It's own
resources. The subsidies to mail steamers on
the Pacific have worked so well in the enlarge
ment Of our Pacific trade that q continuance
and increase of these subsidies is recommended.

security, this money order system Is one Of the
most popular institutions Of the government

La RUE's MINsTRELs.-The season of In

highly successful. The superior attractions

presence of many of our best people, who
rarely attend exhibitions of this kind. It
Is conceded to be the best troupe that has
been here since the war.


Talbot and Mack are certainly hard to
beat as "end men, Their Jokes are all
new, and keep the audience in continual
roar.


Reeve is capital comedian, and his fa-
clal contortions and grimaces would make
o horse laugh.


The Hamall Brothers arc good vocalists,
and the fagelet-playcr makes good use Of
his instrument.


| Ricardo is the most wonderful feature Of
the whole. The mere mention of the fact
that he initiates the female voice would not
convey the slightest idea of his powers. 1t
is necessary to hear him to appreciate him.
When one sees him gotten up with al the
modern female expenditures, and hears
him singing as clearly and as sweetly as a
prima donna, he cannot help doubling the
sex of the artist. To use the stage phrase
he is " immense"

In the course of Mondays debate on the
reduction of taxation, Mr.. Marshall offered
q resolution to the effect that the depressed
condition of business and Of the various
industrial interests OF the country demand
shat Congress shall promptly relieve the
people Of all burdens Of taxation not alb
solutoly necessary to provide for the wants
Of the Government under an economical
administration Of all departments OF the
public service, ana that in reforming the
existing tariff laws al legislation should be
/ Da#od on the following principles First
That 10 duty should be imposed on any
article above the lowest rate that viii yield
the largest amount Of revenue. Secoud-
That the maximum revenue duty.shou!d be
imposed on Iuxur1es. Third-That the
duty should be imposed as to operate as
equally as possible thronghout the Union,
discriminating neither for nor against
class or section.


In th;s Drief and sensible resolution IS
embodied more practical wisdom, SAYS The
New York Fi1aacial Bulletin. than is often
heard on the floor Of the House, whatever
may be tLa topic under discussion. Mr.
MARSHALL ha5 said nothing original or start
IiuS, Il - true, nur are the principles be
lays down as the foundation OF ali tariff
Legislation altogether unknown 80 political
economists; but he has GONE better than
this. and like Gynplaine before the
House OF Lords, has spoken to Congress
for and III the name Of the tax -burthened
people. Precisely what he recon-
mRnds is what is now demanded by ajl
classes of the community and in all parts
Of tbo country-namely, that if tariff
is necessary, it shall be levied for revenue
alone, and not for the protection Of
any one class or section at the expense Of
the rest Of the country. 1t is also demand
ell, and Justly, that the maximum of taxa
ton should be upon luxuries-and not up
on those articles of daily consumption
which, whether indispensable to life or not,
cannot be classed otherwise than among
necessities. The presentation Of these sim
pie and practical truths was no doubt, q
matter OF considerable astonishment to our
honorable representatives, who are not
accustomed to hear propositions concern
ing the tariff from members who have no
axes TO grind while the obedient and sub
missive people turn the stone and it is
probable that, like Gynplaine again, Mr..
Marshall 57ill be laughed at for his pains in
representing the demands of constituent
cy that has only honest labor and honest
earnings to protect, and cannot afford to
pay for their protection. But whatever
may be the fate of his resolution in the
bottomless pigeon holes of the Ways and
Means Committee, to which it was referred
for lnterment in the usual parliamentary
way, the popular demand which it express
es must be heard sooner or later. What
ever is needed to sustain the Govern
ment under prudent and economical ad-
ministration, the people will cheerfully
pay. Should more than this be demanded
before the country has recovered from the
effects OF the four years Of war, and the
four years of extravaganza, over trading
and speculation that followed, there will |
be more who favor Mr.. Marshall's resolu-
hon III the next Congress than there are
in this.

coming Of water. Owing to the exceeding dry
ness of the past two Winters, our miners have
had plenty of time to rig their claims in the best
possible shape for work and they have not been


idle. In former years we have always been

they hoped the rains would hold Off few weeks


in order to give them time to get ready for work,
but now we hear nothing of the kind. All are
prepared and with the first freshet there will
not be an idle man in the county. There have
