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. Bat where is the unhappy

dining hall was elegantly draped with the na

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

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 ?

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

Occupational Aliments. — Fresh, pare
air is a vitalizing elixir. 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
