Washington, May 24.—The report of
,[ R . house eomniiltee on the Judiciary, to
loioiiipany the joint resolution orop. ,smj
constitutional amendment on t lie subject
‘,C polygamy, is a long doeument, dealing
in u, tail with ail branches of the subji et.
\ considerable portion of the report is de
voted to a discussion showing that congress
I,as the power to deal with tliisquestiofi in
the territories. As to the remedy nr>
nosed, the report says: "Your
committee deeply depjore, uHi
1 good citizens, the existence of
1 lie i vii, and doom it to bo of the first ini*
nortanee that while the re.mody shall lie
radical, it shall lie in . liilrc consi-tenc-
the constitutional principles >f u.ir
cm of government, and shall com i ”.nl
if... If to the judgment of the country ml
mankind as in harmony ith tut sacred
rghis of conscience and t lie cardinal n .
I, nies of our free institutions, and ' e l mii-
,vd by a spirit of clone ney. he. .1. a'i m
I magnanimous charity. I’lie evils of
.Mormon western arc deeja-r Uu:n i-in
in cured oy ordinary legislation. To jiuti-
s i the offender may bo accomplished by
hut to extirpate the system, to noli*
ikileit from this union of free ei' i.'izcd
commonwealths, will require a change in
the constitution. - ’
The religious aspect ol the matter is dis
cussed as follows: “It has been the settled
op.,ii' :i ol'the best defenders of religi ms
conscience that when religious faith ja r-
mils crime, its sincerely cannot shield it
from tile penalty of the civil law. As long
ns it is a question of faith between a man
and his God, tilt civil law cannot interfere;
lint when faith breaks out into acts against
tlic laws of society, it cannot give immuni
ty to the criminal. If this were not so,
guilt would be quick to put on the cloak of
religion to screen itself from justice.
•• Y'our committee feels satisfied that no
thing promised by them to the house will
in the slightest degree trench upon the
sacred canons of religious liberty. it
seems to the committee that these pro
visions secure to the union, the courts and
congress of the union, complete authority
to extirpate the system of polygamy and
iis kindred offense of polygamous associa
tion or ’cohabitation between the sexes.’
J'be crimes are fixed by constitutional
iletinilion; the punishment is prescribed by
' .ingress, and the judicial power of the
I'nited Stales will enforce the constitution
against all offenders.”
The interview with Judge Tucker, the !
chairman of the judiciary committee, sent
nit on Friday night, defines what the jiro- j
posed amendment is intended to eilect. I
tleman, but not good looking enough to be
governor this time.

New York, May 21.- At the farewell
performance of Miss Mary Anderson, in I
‘ Pygmalion and Galatea” and “Comedy '
and Tragedy,” at the Star theatre Saturday
night, she was called before tile foot- .
lights three time* after the fall of the cur
tain in the Anal scene. Then repeated
cries for "Speech, speech.” went up, and
finally Mis- Anderson again came forward.
She seemed\erv coy and onfused, press
ing her hands together and looking at her :
rings in a very nervous way.
Finally, alter a pause, the length of
which Was almost painful, shcraised In r
head and said: ”1 am very grateful lor. an i i

He is, however, in his silence pursuing the |

Such men. and particularly where they I
marry late in life, act always as if their i
being married was really something to he |
ashamed of and concealed. Some people
have i lly wondered because the president '
has not planned to marry some one nearer I
his own age. They forget tlie universal
law that elderly bachelors, if they marry, j
always marry young girls. The older the I
bachelor the younger the girl. There is
nothing so alluring to the eideri.v celibates |

Why slioula it be expected that our very |
human president should prove uu excep- j

LOOSE LEGISLATION.
I lie l'rcMth’iit l'oiuts Out n Lilllu of II in
Privulc Ti’iisinn Hill*.
Washington, May 24.—The president
lias vetoed four private pension bills grant
ing pensions to Dudley B. Braneh, Louis
Metelier, Edward Ayres and James C.
Chandler. The president gives his reasons
at length in respect to each ease. In the
case of Branch, he says: “I am convinced
that the rejection of this claim by the i
pension bureau was correct, and think its j
action should not lie reversed. In the J
committee’s report, the statement is found
that the beneficiary named in the bill
was in two different hosjiitals during the
year 1863; and yet it is not claimed that
the history of his hospital treatment fur
nishes any jiroof of the injury upon which
liis claim is now based.”
The president withholds his approval in
Meteher’s ease ujjoii the ground that he j
finds nothing in his examination of the
facts connected with it which impeaches
the value of the surgeon’s certificate upon
which the adverse action of the pension
bureau was predicated.
in vetoing the Ayres bill, the president
says: “It appears that the claimant served
in liis regiment two years and nearly eight
months after the alleged injury, and until
he was mustered out. it is represented to j
me by a report from the pension bureau j
that after nis alleged wound, and in May
ir June, 1863, the claimant deserted, and
in Jul j’of that year was arrested in the'
state of Indiana and returned to duty with
out trial. If this report is correct, tlie
party now seeking a pension at the hands
ofthe government for disability incurred
in service seems to have been capable of
considerable physical exertion, though not ]
very creditable, within a lew weeks after
he claims to have received the injury upon
which his application is based.”
iu the last case—that of Chandler—the
president, after reviewing the various ap
plications made for a pension and their re
jection, says: “There still remained an up- i
peal to congress, and probably there were
not wanting those who found their inter- i
ests in advising such an appeal, and who !
had at hand congressional precedents
which promised a favorable result. |
That the parties interested did not
miscalculate the chances of success is dem
onstrated by the bill now before me,which
in direct opposition to the action of the I
pension bureau grants a pension to a man 1
who, though discharged from enlistment !
for a certain alleged disability, made two
applications for a pension based upon two
distinct causes—both claimed to exist two
months prior to such discharge, and both
dili'erent from the one upon which lie ac
cepted the same, and notwithstanding the
tact that the projjosed beneficiary, alter all
these disabilities had occurred, passed an |
examination as to his physical fitness for I
liis re-enlistment, actually did re-enlist,aud
served till finally mustered out at the close
of the war. If any money is to be given
tins man from the public treasury, it
should not be done under the guise of a
pension.”

On the 1st instant an engineer employed .
in a Wisconsin saw mill announced to his
boss that the time had come for him to j
strike. Everybody else was striking, and
he could not be left out in the cold.
“Do you want more pay V 1 ' asked the I
boss.
“No; the pay is all rigid.”
“Want shorter hours?”
“No; tlie hours are all right.”
“Then, what do you want?”
“I want to go fishing this afternoon with
out having my pay docked. I’ll be oil!
hand again in tlie morning.”
Fie was told to go, and tne “strike” was
amicably adjusted on that basis.
