C, January 19 — It is intimated that when Congress comes toidisenss the Mormon ques- it will be absolutely necessary and Senators to exer- e care in handling Hitherto there has beeu rig so easy to talk about as that “blotupou our civilization,’' toquotc a stereotyped phrase, and numerous Solons have made much capital by the’ withering denunciations they hurled in the teeth of the “latter day saints.” Such exhibitions of wind ami.ga* will be restricted to a considerable extent in the future, perhaps entire ly abandoned. The reason for this is that the Mormon deleg tie in Con gress has tired of this one-sided bus iness, and, believing that his people were not so 1 much worse Ilian the Christians after all, has gone to work io see if those who are ready to throw stones arc without sin them selves. To thi3 end he called for assistance from his church which was promptly furnished, and steps taken to investigate tbe personal record of those Members and Sena tors who hayo been most prominent in hostility to the followers of Joe Smith. This work was carefully performed by a corps of expert de tectives, and the result has been the accumulation ot a mass ofevidence as to the immorality and iepravity of certain legislators that is perfect ly astounding, and the worst feature ill the business is, so carefully has the scheme been carried out, that it is possible to sustain the charges in every instance)- by thoroughly com petent evidence. This information is now in the bands ot Mr. Cannon, and he is quietly waiting for the usual programme of abuse, etc., to be inaugurated, when he propose-: to explode a glass bomb on he floor of tho House, in the shape of ‘such disclosures as will produce lively scenes in prominent hotisrbolds in several of the most important States n the Union. This is, indeed, hor rible. What must now be the feel ings of the lion. A. }!. when he knows that his footsteps hive been shadowed for the past two months? Ho sits in his seat with gloom wrap ping his brow. A legislative Jove robbed of his thunderbolts by this Prometheus of the sage brush.Then there is the honorable gentleman from blank who has beeu rather overdoing the Platonics on a gor geous West End household. His soul is no who wed with a weight of harrowing anxiety, for a suspicion has crept into his mind that the bntler of that household, a smooth, oily individual who possessed every attribute of a most perfect servant, and. who has been love’s messenger betweenhim- selfand madame, is uotliing mOre or less than an emissary of the Mor mon church, a veritable Destroying Angelin plush and buttons, wbohas kept copies of notes and memoranda of assignations for the benefit of the delegate from Utah. It is a frightful picture, and it is not to be wondered that a halt is called in the Utah campaign to send wounded reputations to tho rear, while volunteers are called for to continue the contest:—a sort of ligis- lative forlon hope whose reputa tions will stand the test of the searching investigation sure to be given them by the emissaries of Mormonism. Verily, it is a sad pic ture takeil all in all. Work From Ooewr Wiidc—Kl'roui- !» and DeCOBUIn Arc ! Oscar ban; to Al- on tzstutlly Gov. 1140000, of South Carolina, has approved the stock law reoently passed by the Legislature of that State. He states that from reliable data it has been ascertained that the annual cost of boundary fences to the agricultural class of South Carolina exceeds $2,700,000 per annum, whilst tbe 3taU county taxes levied for all purposes for the lost fiscal year, as shown by the comptroller’s books, amounted to only $1,308,316, thus es tablishing the fact that the abolition of boundary fences save annnaily to the agricultural industry twice ns muph money as is paid in taxes by all the industries of the State combined. It is pitiful to see the (Sorts of the two or three so-called Independent papers in the state trying to bolster up Dr. Felton’s rejoinder. Tho efforts of the Atlanta Post Appeal are par ticularly puerifc. The Cartersville. 4 Free Press, Felton’s organ, hasn’t yet come oqt since the appearance of Mr. Hill’s letter. It will he hard, hard work for its editor, who is the soul of truth and honor, to try to reconcile this fact: That Ben Dill was as corrupt a mau when he en dorsed Parson Felton as he i* now. Hr. Felton didn’t answer this, and we would like to hear from Col. Willing ham . no printed thousands of copies of Ben Hill’s letter of endorsement ta be used as campaign documents. 11'' The .Last Toomha Anecdote. The Washington correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle tells this on Gen. Toombs, in his last letter: “Let me close this letter with an anecdote of General Toombs, which has not, I believe, been published. If this be a correct snrmise, it- will be enjoyed. If there has been any publication of it, yon may omit my version. It seems that the General, some little time back,.took,the cars at Union Point forth'e Gate City Ex position. He chose a back seat, and placed his carpet-bag alongside bira- self. At one of the upper stations a man unacquainted with the celebra ted Georgian, accosted him roughly as he altered the car, sayiug: “Sir, take tiiatcarpct-bagaway, for I wsnt to sit down.’' Gen; Toombs calmly' pointed out to this brusque stranger that there were several unoccupied scats in tbe forward part of the car. But the man insisted that the General should put hiscarpet-bag on the floor.: This Toombs refused to do, bpt add ed : “Iteither the parpot-bag or my self must go to tbe floor, I will go and not the carpet-bag.” Suiting the action to the word, the General sat upon the floor, aud the man took the vacant seat, This attracted at tention, and some gentleman ap proached the stranger and told him who Gen. Toombs was. After this the mau apologized and offered the seat back. But the Genera) waved him sway, and said: “Keep it, sir; yon are entitled to it for your rude ness.’’ Then turning to the other occupants of the car, be said: “I will bet drinks for all the drinking men "that that man (pointing to the stranger who sqt aghaslVlq from Atlanta, since ity is qtterly impossi ble for snch audacity to ho matched elsewhere I’’ My informant that the General’s wager wag a safe one.

I have brought it to show you my proficiency in deCONative art!’ Then it was, sir, that I felt that the Rubicon of endurance was reached and passed, and life hereafter could have no sorrow worth mentioning. Yes, sir, the man who wrote the hook asking if life was worth the living, was fully answered in the negative. It is not by several.” “But,’’ we ventured, “you received tbe present, so lovingly presented, graciously did you not?” “Oh, yes, graciously, of course, that is, as graciously as a roan could with an icicle in his heart. Bat I suggest ed that ceramics was spelt with a c, and that decorative was not accent ed on the second syllable; and this is what I got for my suggestion: ‘Why, papa, don’t yon know that it is not considered quite the thing to nse that old-fashioned pronunciation?

Tbe sobriquet of Wash ington has heretofore been tho “city of magnificent -distances,” but it might, witSj equal and fitting pro priety, bo termed the “city o'" mag. nificcnt entertainments,’’ so grand are these, that day after day we find host and hostess trying to ontvie the one the other, in the magnificence and gor^eousness of their displays.
