In the present condition of the State this pro vision is eminently judicious, and it is to be hoped that the working of tho experiment will teach the wholesome doctrine that money, like everything else, ought to be rented for just whst it is worth, I. e., exactly what it will bring.

If the question of “Woman Suffrage” be great one, we boldly aver that never since the creation has » great question been dis cussed in snch a small way. and that too upon either side. In Chicago, tbe Rev. Dr. Hat field, arguing in bis pulpit ugainst the reform declares “that as many men suffer from the effects of “a woman's tongue as women suf fer from “drunken husbands.” Begging par don of the Reverend Doctor, we ask lmve to say that this does not loach the question at all; and, moreover, it cannot, as u matter of fact, be true. Not only have tbe shrewish propensities of women been greatly exaggera ted, but sufferers ecu run away from the shrill lecture, can abscond for the night, or sleep in the barn.

Condensed from the Toronto Telegraph J The seventh annual assembly and supper of the New England Society, of Toronto, took place at the Queen’s Hotel, on the22d instant, in honor of the 138tb anniversary of Wash ington's birth-day. Abont two hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to a grand supper, never surpassed, if equaled, in the city. The dining hall was elegantly draped with the na tional flags of the United States and Great Britain, together with innumerable penanta, bearing the insignia of the civilized nations of the world. The chief adornment of the table was a magnificent cake, fashioned in the shape of Washington’s tomb, at Mount Ver non, surmounted by a miniature statue of the “ Father of his Country.* On one ride the confectionery’tomb, was worked in bas re lief the words: WASHINGTON, BOBS February 22d, 1732, died Deoember 14tb, 1799. The first toast-proposed was the health of our beloved Queen,” followed by the health of the “President of the United State*. 1 Hon. Isaac Lawrence, U. S. Counsul at Co- boors, in response to tbe latter toast, said that our President went forth from West Point be fore he was of age, a soldier and a statesman, a man of thought, a man of action, destined in the hour of peril to repay his country a million fold by restoring the shattered columns of the Union, and plaicing the Constitution on a firmer and more substantial basis than ever. The toast, “ Washington, whose birth we this day celebrate: first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, was drank in silence. CoL A. D. Snaw, United States Consul General, replied in a magnificent and touching eulogy upon the noble hero of American Independence.

' The New York Independent 1ms its say rabout the lute decision of the Superior *Couz$ on the Bible-in-tho-schools ques tion. After reciting the resolutions of .the School Board, the Independent says: “Both of these resolutions Are set aside ;by the Court, and the previously existing .rule of singing and Bible reading made ^mandatory by the authority of the State, Speaking through the Court. The theory ,of the Court, arriving at this result, comes very near involving, if it does not Actually involve, tbe doctrine that Christi anity is a legally established religion in tho State of Ohio. Appealing to the Bill of Bights as affirming that religion is es sential to good government, the Court defines this religion to mean Christianity, and then decides th:>t the Bible, being the basis of Christianity, must be read in tbe publio schools as the means of teach ing it Thus, while denying the right of the Board of Education to revise its own role on the subject, is a virtual enforcement of religious teachings in tbe Common Schools of Cincinnati by the authority of law. Such is the legal and practical effect of the decision made by the Court” Tronbloua Tii Wliut It A Smltbltc* a _ and oar next Mormon war—Shall we Fight or Bear and Forbear 3—What Shall be done with the Mo: Ever since (he Gnadalonpe-Hidnlgo treaty with Mexico, in 1848, by which we first ao qaired Utah, the Mormons have been a sepa rate and distinct people from the United States, if different laws, manners and customs can make one people separate and distinct from another. Lt *> without a nationality or a Government by the struggle in Mexico, they organized a Government of their own and made Brigham Young their bead. If the people are to rale, Brigham is and always has >een os much tbe Governor of Utah as aoy man can be. The remanding back into a Territory of the “State of Deseret” by Con- jri*68, in 1850, did not, in the estimation of the After Day Saints, deprive them of their in dependence, or their right to govern them selves. Tbe Government seems, by a curious blunder, to have acquiesced.in this view, aod, for many years, selected all the officers of the Territory from among the Mormons. Brig ham remained the temporal and spiritual governor; all tbe subordinates in tbe Territory obeyed him, and everything ran smoothly. One day the Government sent ont strange men to rule over the Saints, bot they would have none of these Gentiles. So there were heartburnings, and bickerings, and jealousies, and finally war, in 1857. To reduce the re bellious colonists as well as to make money for Floyd’s Southern friends of a speculative turn of mind, an army was raised and ren dezvoused at Fort Bridger, under Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. It was in mid winter, the snow lay deep on the plains, and tbe shiver ing troops gathered aronnd their camp fire# at Bridger with a thousand milea of desert be hind them, and the hostile Mormons in front. Then came tbe ns^rs of disaater. The train which contained most of the sup plies, and which was toiling np the Sweetwater, was suddenly pounced upon by Orson Pratt and his Mormons, the guard over powered aod the stores and wagons burned. When the intelligence reached Bridger, great woa tbe consternation. No more supplies could reach them until spring, and starvation stated the troops in the face. The soldiers were pnt on three-quarter rations, then half, and at last mierable pittance of one-fourth of a ration was issued. Floor rose to $300 a barrel in gold, and when Major (now General) Canby had secured, at immense cost, the last sack, tbe soldiers, headed by a Lieutenant, came in the night, cut the ropes of the Ma jor’s tent, tumbled it over him, and in tbe confusion, nnder cover of the darkness, stole and hid the floor. Next morning, when the irate Major went among the soldiers’ tents and saw them cutting op the frozen skins of oxen to boil for soap, and that they had nothing to make the unsavory mess palatable except a few handaful of floor, his rage gave way to tears, and the kind-hearted officer sat down and cried over suffering he had no power to relieve. GEN. ALBZBT SIDNEY JOHNSTON’S CAMPAIGN. It was in tbe spring of ’58 when provisions and re-enforcements arrived, and General Johnston advanced with scarcely three thous and effective men. Brigham Yoong had on his rolls nearly ten thousand names and an effective force of 4,500 soldiers. There is lit tle doubt but that if Young had risked a pitched battle, he could have defeated the Government troops, but Brigham knew John ston was bat the advance guard of tbe army that would be sent against him. He reasoned, and correctly, that the United States would use, if necessary, its whole power to sabdne him, and like a true soldier be determined to adopt at once a method of warfare he would have to resort to in the end. Young has since said it was bis intention to save bis men and wage a partisan war. He believed he could wor ry tho Government troops in Utah, out off trains, surprise outposts, and in this way con tinue the struggle for five years. He thought at (he end of three years the government would be willing to close so unprofitable a war, and treat with him on the basis of the recog nition ol polygamy, and his perpetual right to govern the Territory. With those purposes in view, as soon as Young heard that John ston was advancing, he assembled the faith ful, with their flocks and 'steers, and filling the houses of Salt Lake City with straw, he retired into the hills, leaving two hundred Mormons in the city, with strict orders to bum it to the ground os soon as it was in dan ger of falling into the bands of the Gentiles. JohaAton, when he learned this state of affairs, halted and would not allow his troops to oc cupy tbe city. Meanwhile the Commission ers were on their way from Washington to treat with Brigbam, and they found bun deep among tbe mountains and hills of Utah, where Johnston, with his handful of men, would not uot have dared to follow him. A peace was conquered, and thus ended the first attempt to subdue tho Mormons. The whole affair reflects no credit npon the Government or its arms. Yoong saw the track of the Union Pacific Railroad approaching his dominions with no l tile apprehensions. Knowing it would be folly to oppose it, be, as is his custom, dis sembled and joined heartily in the enterprise. He took the contract for building it through bis own dominions, aud so manipulated m li ters that the road was run past, and not through, bis capital. Then he procured a charter, and built a branch road from the Uniou Pacific to Salt Lake. This is his road, and ho will regulate ita commerce, and do what he pleases with it To get cars and pot his road in first-rate running order, he stopped a million dollars out cf the pay of tbe Mor mons who built the Union Pacific line in Utah, and with this million bought engines and cars. To compensate the laborers for the loss of their bard earned money, be issued twen ty-year bonds on the Utah road, and compell ed tbe workmen to accept them. Brigham’s whole contract with the Union Pacific amount ed to $2,500,000, which be sublet at 10 per cent, discount, and then received 10 per cent, ont of all the profits of the sub-contracts as titbings. Thus Brigham pocketed the snng *um of $500,000, beside* managing the whole affair to sail himself. This, to say nothing of the political aspects of the matter, was a first-class financial operation. Brigham could not stop tbe Union Pacific Road frem coming to Utah, so he makes a branch road and $500,000 out of it. Pretty good salve that for “tbe endu rance of a necessary evil.” THE STEAM ENGINE AND SCHISM. As soon as ths Union Pacific Railroad was completed, the element in Utah opposed to Brigham Yoong (and there has always been each an element), seeing that now they were in communication with the outside world, made haste to organize. Harrison. who, the year before, had started the Utah Magazine, was songht ont and made tbe organ of the new party. Harrison is an architect by profession, and a manjof some ability as a writer. It is universally conceded, however, that he can bnild a house better than be can write an ar ticle against Hormonism. Win. God bo is the most powerful opponent Brigham Yoong has in the Territory. God be went to Utah when a boy. He bas made a fortune in the drag business, and is a man of much ability. Godbe andHarrison were both members of Brigham's High Council and trusted advocates of Mor- monism. When, however, Brigham announced tbe dogmas of cooperative merchandising, order of Enoch and absolute control of tne titbings, Godbe and Harrison protested, and for this were both expelled from tbe High Council. Burning under his insalts, Godbe bought an interest in the Utah Magazine, and spoke ont in bold, defiant tones against Brig ham and his new heresies. For this he was excommunicated. Eli B. Kelsey and Wm. Lawrence who defended Godbe et bis trial for excommunication, ware themselves excommunicated for sentiments uttered daring the trial. The Magazine had 1,400 subscribers, and soon after Godbe obtained an interest in it it was suspended, and the Mormon Tribune is sued in its stead. Tbe Tribune is an eight- led paper, about the size of the Cincinnati nmercial. The Tribune now has 1,500 sub scribers, and a rapidly increasing list. Godbe and Harrison travel and preach, mak ing proselytes and disseminating their Tri bune. Both are good talkers, and Ibsy repre sent that God has commissioned them to bnild np a new chnrch. They say God will reveal all to them that He wishes done, and the peo ple mast obey. As a guarantee, of moderate revelation, they say •• force is not known in tbe policy of God. and compulsion does not exist in tbe heavens. All is peace and mod eration, beneficience and love. Obedience most spring from the heart, else there merit in it." The new sect is called the Church of Zion," and Godbe and Harrison Cl tint that it can not exist withont continued revelation, while Brigham Yoong scoffs at the idee of farther revelation being necessary, say ing “ the choroh has hsd enough of revelation to last it a thousand years.” Neither Godbe nor Harrison preach against polygamy. Goibe has 4 wives and 17 obildren. His youngest wife is Charlotte Cobb, tong tbe belle of Utah Her mother came from the best Boston society, and was in Brigham's harem, where she may be yet for angbt I know to the con trary. Harrison bas been twice married, bat now is a widower. He never was s polyga mist. When Godbe was excommunicated, be called together his wives, offered to divide bis property among them, and give them their freedom, bat they all preferred to remain with him. Godbe bds a handsome place near Salt Lake, and he is worth at least $150,000. Among the supporters of Godbe and Har rison are Henry w. Lawrence, of tbe firm of Kembell A Lawrence; their house is the fourth largest bnsiness concern in tbe Terri tory, and they are very wealthy. Sherman, another Godbeite, was a druggist, and had a large store in the Cache Valley; hiB profits were one thousand dollars per month, nntil Brigham established his oo-operativs system, which ruined Sherman's bnsiness; he is very bitter against Young, Tillidge is a shoema ker, and an author of some ability. He writes a great deal and gets very drunk occasionally. The most respected supporter of Godbe, both in ability and character, is Kelsey, the man aging editor of tbe Tribane. He has three wives and fourteen children and lives on a fine farm near Salt Lake City, He offered bis wives their freedom and money; bat they all declined to leal* Aim. Acting in concert with the Godbeites are the Josephites, another sect. They are led by Joseph Smith, a eon of the old prophet, and their creed is opposition to polygamy, which they claim was sat np by Bnghain Young, and was no part of the Mormon Chnrch as taught by Smith, the true prophet of God. The Joeephitea only symrntize with the Godbeites so far as a general opposition to Brigham Yoong goes. Tbe Godbeites have established churches at Ogden and Lovell, bat in three-fourths of Biigbsm Yoang's dominions they dare not show the r faces, much less preach their doc trines. Their followers are not nnmerona, and it ie believed they will accomplish bet little. They make a heap of noiae and fas*, bat ao little importance does Brigham Yoong attach to their schism that he does not even deign to notice them in pnbUc-or private dis courses. Stenhonse, the editor of a Salt Lake paper, who started ont with the Godbe ites, and who is a good writer, has already abandoned them, and returned to fellowship in Brigham’s chnrch. Tbe Prophet graciously received him and forgave him his heresies. THE CUIUS BILL. No doubt Brigham thinks if the Godbeites are left alone, and no barriers raised between them and the troe Chnrch, they will soon ;et tired of their schisms and return to the fiormon fold; indeed, he has a firm hold npon them in their present polygamous con dition, a condition that they can not shake off. At all events, we have nothing to hope from the Godbeites in tbe way of weakening Brigham's power, or breaking up polygamy. What next ? The Cnllom bill for the sup pression and punishment of polygamy is the topic of absorbing interest among the Mor mons. They do not believe, for one moment, that Congress will make any law retrospective in its action, bat they fear polygamy will he iotontof question in the fntnre. To an old ; ellow like Brigham, this ought not to be a matter of rnnch importance; nevertheless be eeema keenly alive to the aitoation, and to attach great weight to tbe polygamous part of his creed. Does he intend to marry again ? Has some fair daughter of the saints caught his eye, and is he desirions of '‘plucking her from the world, to walk with the chosen of God?" Be that as it may, be has not the leant notion of giving np polygamy in the church or “State of Deseret.” Now comes tbe all important question: Will Brigbam Young and his followers fight if the Government attempts te enforce the laws for tbe suppression of plarality in wives ? Solemnly and advisedly I answer, they will as suredly as they did in 1857 8. Ii they resist, what force ean they bring into the field, and bow long can they hold ont ? WILI, TBX M0XM0N3 FIGHT? The best evidence that a people will fight is to be found in the teachings of their leaders. Shortly before bis death Heber Kimball, the first Vice-President of the church, and second in power only to Young, said: “The next army that comes here I want yon women to meet with brooms, mops and hot water. We had a good time with the last army that came here, and we will have it with the next one. Greet them even with scissor*. Yon brethren mast ((Tease np your firelocks, and your sisters most be prepared to fight too. Arm, everybody! In the States they do it between the’ ages of 18 and 55. Ont here, I suppose, we might do so between the ages of 10 and 80. If a dozen of onr women had been in the South daring that war, with pails of hot water, they oonid have licked the Nortuern army. [Great laughter.]! Chiiat taught the commandmouta. He said; Tbon shait not interiera with thy neighbor’s wife, nor his daughter, bis house, nor bis man servant, nor bis maid servant.' Christ said this, bat oar enemies don't believe it. That was tbe trou ble between tbe North and the South. The Abolitionism stole tbe niggers, and caused it all. The niggers were onoe well off and bap py. Do yon ask how do yon know this, Brother Heber? God bless yon. I lived in the Sooth, and know all about it. The nigger was well off and happy. Now they have set him free, and a beautiful thing they have done tor him, haven't they ? I am the son oi an old veteran. My father bled in the revolution for liberties. I, bis' son, have been five times robbed and driven ont by Gentile persecutors, Brother Charles Samuel and L They threaten to come here and destroy os. Let them come, I am one that will resist them.” George A. Smith, another Vice President of the Chnrch, said : "A Northern army is a cane. They burned and destroyed everything in the South, and abased, by force, Uieir women; bat let them come here to abase tbe fair women of Utah in like manner, and all, both old aod yoong, will have plenty of arms, and, when they approach God will fight the battles and the Saints will be victorious. He said tbe U. S. Government waa not at peace; and he damned it and hoped to see it sink into hell; that nothing in the shape of a free government could stand on North American soil that was opposed to Mor- monism and polygamy." Brigbam • Yoong, the Prophet, said in a “I am the real Governor of this people, and, by the powers of the Most High, I will be Governor of this Territory forever and ever. If the Gentiles don’t like this, they can leave and go to hell. The Governor of the Territo ry is useless, and can do nothiog. If they undertake to try me in a Gentile Coart, I will see the Government in hell first. I am ready t > fight the Government the mb I hare sol diers, rifles, pistols, ammunition, and plenty of it, and cannon, too, and 1 will use them. Iam on it” In a late number of his organ, Brigbam Yonng, throu.-h his amenuensis, the editor, says of the faithful: “There is one opinion, however, that we have heard expressed, and which, we trust, will never be forgotten, that rather than an organized mob, sanctioned by law or other wise, shall take possession of these lands, we will see our labors of twenty years swept away in a night's time, the country laid waste, and made so barren that a savage could not exist thereon." Brighsm Young, should he determine to fight, has some of the best material in the world out of which to make soldiers, tho Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians. With twenty thousand of these men, if he adopted the same tactics as intended in 1858, he coaid hold out even against the combined power of the United States for several years. Again, we say if the Government enforces the aboli tion of polygamy in Utah, the Mormons will fight, and it will take a large army to sabdne them, and a hundred millions in money. When they are subdued, Utah, that now blos soms as a rose, will be a howling wilderness, f a desert waste," as when the Mormons found It. Many of the Mormons will “sleep in the ▼alley," and the bones of our dead bo strewn in every canon from Fort Bridger to the Colo rado River. Shall we advance and wipe ont polygamy with force, or wait nntil emigration and advancing civilization surrounds and crushes it by better teachings ? O. Ditsos. they are To the Editors of the Evening Post: A great many inquiries are made, os well by some of the brokers themselves as by persona “ont of the street,” in re gard to the payment of the interest on certain Southern State bonds, and as to the amount of interest that goes with snch bonds. In order to furnish suck information I have compiled the following statement, which may bo of some little service to dealers and investors in these securities. Virginia “old” bonds (those issued prior to the war) carry interest from Jan uary 1, 1869. The “old” bonds of this State (Vir ginia,) dated in 1661, are a good delivery, from No. 13,090 to 13,731 inclusive, pro vided that they ore stamped by the Bond Committee of the Stock Exchange. Virginia “new” bonds (those issued since the wer) carry interest from Jan- uary 1, 18G6. The “new” bonds of the State of Vir ginia, of a latter date than January 1, 1866, must have the interest ndjnsted to the basis of January 1, 1866. North Carolina, “old,” ‘'new” and “special tax” bonds, carry interest from July 1, 1868. Bonds of this State upon which the interest is payable in April and October mast be adjusted to the basis of January and July. Tennessee “old” and “new” bonds cany interest from January 1,1869. The “old” bonds also include snch os ore dated January 1, 1861, Letter O, Nos. 1 to 1878 inclusive. South Carolina “old” bonds pay in terest in January and July, and sell ex. all matured coupons. Of the “ new ” bonds there are two scries, one of which pays interest in January and July, and the other in April and October: tt " >ell also ex. all matured coupons (if an., nforest has yet became dne.) Tho several series are called separately at the StocK Ex change. Alabama five-per-cent, bonds of 1883 and 1886 pay interest in Hay and Novem ber, and sell ex. all matured coupons. Alabama eight-pcr-cent bonds of 1886 and 1888 pay interest January and July, and sell ex. all motored coupons. Georgia sixes pay interest on some bonds in Jan uary and July, and on others in February and August. Upon this late class of bonds the interest most be adjusted to the basis of January and Jnly. The small S bonds of this State are not a “good ry.” As a general rule, coupon bonds of the denomination of $500 and $1,000 each only constitute a regular de livery at the Stock Exchange. This role also applies to government securities. In any case when an adjustment of in terest ia to be made, the amount of differ ence may either be added to bonds by attaching the deficiency in bills, or the amount may be deducted from the pur chase-money. The latter method is to be preferred, on tho ground of protec tion, as when bills are attached to the bonds, as is frequently done, there is danger of their becoming separated and lost J. D. S.

Whoever ia debarred by cir cumstances from unrestricted access to this invisible, but powerful stimulant needs a medicinal invigor&nt of some kind. The great object should be to choose the best. Popularity is a pretty good guarantee ol merit in this scrutinizing and intelligent age, and tried by this criterion Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters stands first among the Invigorating and regulating medicines of the present day. To the wants of persons engaged in indoor employments, especially in crowded facto ries where even with the best possible ventilation the atmosphere is always in some degree polluted, this salubrious vegetable tonic is peculiarly adapted. The nature of the ingredients is no mystery. It consists of an absolutely pure diffusive stimulant, tinctured— or rather surcharged—with the fluid extracts of sana- tous roots, and barks, and herbs. The pharmaco poeia has its tinctures, but what are they ? The juice of only a single root, or bark, or plant, is present in each. Not one of them oombines the three properties oi a tonic, an alterative, and an aperient All these elements are blended in the Bitters; nor are these the sum of its medicinal recommendations. It is also a blood depurent and an anti*spasmodic. The baleful effect which air, that has been partially exhausted of its oxygen by frequent breathing, pro duces on the vital organization, is notorious, and when, to this devitalized atmosphere is superadded the mephltlo vapor of hot air furnaces, it becomes deleterious and depressing, in the extreme. To ena ble the system to bear np, even for a few hours each day against the debilitating inflaenoe of a vitiated at mosphere, a wholesome tonic and alterative Is urgent ly required. This grand desideratum is supplied in Hostetter’s Bitters which, as a strength-sustaining, health-protecting agent has no rival either among offi cinal or advertised medicines. mar 1-dAwlw JUST UUT—•Cherry Pectoral Troche*—Su perior to all others for Golds, Coughs, Sore Throats, Bronchitis, and Hoarseness.
