House Committee of Ways and

Means have decided to increase the free list largely in the present tariff. Many articles produced in foreign countries alone, and ottering largely into oar domestic manufactures, still stand on the statute books taxed at war rates. The addition of these to the free list by the Committee ofWays and Means is one of the important results of their recent travels.

early period of the approaching session, be called to the importance of improving the navigation of the Wabash. Such facts will be presented as cannot fail to convince the most economical guardians of the public purse that an appropriation for removing the various obstructions to the navigation of our noble river will be a measure of sound practical economy.— The movement will be supported by the most influential Western members of both houses and will, we hope, be carried through.

than two-thirds of the Old and

New School Presbyterians having voted for the union of the branches, the object is BO far accomplished as only to need the final plan of permanent organization.— This will be effected, it is anticipated, by the General Assemblies that will convene at Pittsburg to-day. This great step affords another gratifying evidence of the feeling of harmony and good will that is being developed in this country among all Evangelical denominations. The Christian Church will, we believe, before the lapse of many years, be a firmly united body, having but one creed, as they now have but one Savior. The prospect is a cheering one for the world, for in all its dissentions there has been none more bitber than that of religious intolerance.

These committees cannot perfect their important work too soon. Every dollar of unnecessary tax now imposed on our industrial interests is a clog on the progress of the country.—

With our enterprising manufacturers relieved from taxation, business of all kinds will be pushed with renewed and wholesome activity. All that the people ask is a fair opportunity to develop the practically inexhaustible resources of our favored land. And Congress can scarcely desire to delay the granting of this reasonable boon for a single day.

Prison Discipline.

One of the objects of the proposed amendment of the New York State Constitution—defeated last week—was a reform in prison discipline. The Cincinnati Chronicle suggests that the penal system of Ohio, no less than that of New York, might be improved by the adoption of a reformatory system. The Chronicles suggestion is equally applicable to the penal institutions, or at least the two State prisons, of Indiana, for at present moral suasion plays a subordinate part in their management. It is true that Col.

SIIULER,

since he was installed as War

den of the Southern Prison, has banished the gross brutality that disgraced the State and shamed humanity under the administration of his infamous predecessor, and has made much progress towards a thorough reform. But the "cat," that awful instrument of torture, is still occasionally used in the institution over which Col. S., presides We. hope, however, that he will, ere long, gain such moral control over the convicts that flogging may be entirely abolished. At the Northern Prison, we believe, the "cat" flourishes vigorously. As to the the reformatory system, our Cincinnati cotemporary cites the testimony of gentlemen of good judgment and wide experience who have not hesitated to express their belief in its practieability. Beyond the necessary restraint, any system which has reference to the feelings of the ^prisoner and seeks his improvement, mnst succeed in working some reformation. Public sentiment should no longer permit the possibility of atrocities within our prison walls. Coercive discipline returns its convict subjects to the world sullen and morose, with heart embittered and spirit rife with evil intent, while the gentle hand of persuasion moulds and reforms those who have been brought under her discipline into worthy members of society. If the persuasive system should fail in some particulars, it would at least err on the side of humanity, and the noble endeavor to reclaim many who are the victims of misfortune, rather than hardened criminals or voluntai'y evil doers. „The present system appears to us to be one of vengenance, in which reformation has little part. However vile the criminal, there isjiotone who is altogether inhuman, nor one in whom the feeble germs of virtue can not be nourished and brought to life.

The Mormon Excommnnication. The New York <World> has a letter from Salt Lake City which throws some ligt [sic] on the Mormon excommunication, that we have already noticed:

The recent <emeute> in the Mormon Church is creating a great deal of excitement here among both "Saints" and "Gentiles." The defection of E. I. T.Harrison and E. W. Tullidge, editors and proprietors of the Utah <Magazine>, has been expected for some time past. Recent articles in that periodical have pointed to exactly such a course as they have pursued and the liberal sentiments proclaimed by them have been hailed as inaugurating a new era in Morman journalism. It is is [sic] yet uncertain whether they will publish the <Magazine> in the interests of the Smiths or

pursue a strictly neutral course, intermeddling with the doctrines of neither party. They cannot hope to receive any support from the adherents of Brigham, but will undoubtedly gain many subscribers among the "Gentiles" and Josephines. T. B. H. Stenhouse, editor of the <Telegraph>, has for a long time been out of the "church ring," and Brigham has made made [sic] many attempt [sic] to "freeze him out." The Deseret <Daily News> was started for that express purpose, and bishops throughout the territory were required to canvass for it, and use their influence in its favor. The faithful were even commanded to stop their subscriptions to the <Telegraph> and subscribe for the <News>.

Under the pressure of circumstances, Stenhouse removed his paper to Ogden, hoping that place would be made the junction of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads. Disappointed in this hope, and having lost money while waiting for some action upon the part of the two companies, the <Telegraph> was moved back to Salt Lake City. Its proprietor found himself getting deeper and deeper into hot wator with the Mormon leaders, and finally an event occured [sic] which capped the climax, and placed Mr. Stenhouse outside of Brigham's church. The police of Salt Lake City and the Police Justice had been engaged in a black-mailing operation, in which a "Gentile" was the victim. A Mormon girl, a notorious woman of the town, had been induced to make an appointment with a "Gentile" hotel-keeper, who was known to have plenty of money, and, a month afterward, to prefer a charge of rape against him. By threats of taking his life, they extorted from the "Gentile" over $1,100, and then ordered him to leave the country. Mr. Stenhouse reported the affair in the columns of his paper, animadverting in strong terms upon the conduct of the police and the "justice." They immediately complained to Brigham of the severe criticism to which their acts had been subjected in the <Telegraph>, Stenhouse was summoed [sic] before the "School of the Prophets," commanded to apologize to Justice Clinton, and ask forgiveness of the "priesthood."— This he refused to do, and hence the action upon the part of the "Prophets."— Brigham had given him one week in which to repent and ask forgiveness, failing in which the action of the "School of the Prophets," will be confirmed by a vote of the people in the Tabernacle.

W. S. Godbe, a leading Mormon merchant and the husband of four wives, has also been suspended in conjunction with the others. He is half owner of the <Utah Magazine>, and was commanded by Brigham to suspend the publication of that journal on the account of its too liberal sentiments. This he refused to do, and Brigham, who never hesitates to sacrifice a friend who opposes him, placed him at once under the ban of the church. The readers of the <World> may perhaps be curious to know what the "School of the Prophets" is. It is simply a secret assemblage of church dignitaries and leading Mormons in the interests of Brigham. Cards of membership are issued to such persons as he wishes to attend, and he presides over the meetings as chief ruler of the synagogue. The meetings are held every Saturday afternoon, and during its secret sessions contumacious individuals are tried for their offenses, and acquitted or condemned at the pleasure of Brigham, who completely controls the action of the tribunal. The work inaugurated by Alexander and David Smith may yet become a splendid success, and the visions which the editor of the Salt Lake <Reporter> once had, in which he saw Brigham fleeing from the fury of his own people, and seeking protection with the United States troop at Camp Douglas, may become a reality. At all events, a schism has been started in the Mormon Church which may shake Brigham's power to its foundation, and possibly bring about a speedier solution of the Mormon question than has yet been anticipated. The schismatics should, however, be made secure by the government in the protection of life, liberty and property, or Brigham will find a way, with the aid of his Danites, to effectually silence them. ---<>---

tie lias just been brought to light l^jcMenhir*. lunatic aamed JolurBeir^ W Wylde, a relative of the late Mr." Wyld^ a magistrate, near Nottingham, had forfeome yean pwt been in Ite'wre of a small farmer, named Henry Black, who occupied a farm at Sheepshead, near Loughborough, Leicestershire but the circumstance, and other facts connected with his incarceration were not brought to the knowledge of the Chief Constable until a few days ago, who at once communicated with the Commissioner* in Lunacy, and Mr. Cleeton, a commissioner Dr. Buck, of the Leicester Lunatic Asylum Mr. F. Warner, J. P., and Superintendent Hague, paid a visit to Mr. Black's farm-house.

Gn entering the living room they found a poor idiotic man, 74 years ofajje, seated on and chained to a chair by his wrists. His legs were also secured by manacles, and the chair was in turn chained to the wall. This position he occupied all day, even when partaking of his meals. Visiting his bed-room, the gentlemen found that at night he was subjected to similiar cruelly. There were leg-irons at the foot of the bed, and it seemed that at night iron also encircled his legs and wrists. The wretched man, however, is said to have been treated kindly in other respects and his well-nourished, healthy, and perfectly clean form showed that he had been well attended to. In answer to inquiries, Black stated that the man had been insane since he was fourteen years of age that he had been in his custody for the past thirty years, and that for thirty years previously he had been in charge of another custodian, chained in the way described.

Black also stated that he recieved £1 a week for the maintenance of his charge. From the appearance of Wylde, it seemed as if his confinement, with all its dreadful accompaniments, far so long a period, had lost its terrors for him, for when released from his chains he exhibited no signs of joy whatever. Information was at once laid against Black for not having taken proper care of Wylde, and the same day he appeared before two magistrates of the Loughborough bench to answer for it. The result was that Wylde was at once removed to the^Leicester and Rutland Asylum, at Leicester, where he is to remain for the present in the charge of Dr. Buck. As to Black, no further proceedings have as yet been taken against him, but a full inquiry is expected to take place.—London paper.

CHINESE CRUELTY.

A Christian Woman Tortnred for Sorcery.

A Catholic paper .in England gives the following account of an incident which it says occurred at Canton: "A native Christian woman, much Tespected by the Christians, and even by the pagans who were acquainted with her, has devoted herself for twenty years to the rescuing and baptizing infants abandoned by their parents. At the beginning of July she was arrested on the charge of practicing sorcery upon young children, and of taking out their eyes, the marrow of their bones, and even their souls, with a view to the preparation of magical remedies. She was several times put to the question, and savagely beaten on the, face with leathern straps to induce her to confess her guilt. In the midst of her torture, however, she maintained the greatest courage and constancy in confessing the faith. She was condemned to death, and it was feared that the sentence wonld be immediately executed. Upon this, M, Gerardin, the resident missionary, succeeded in obtaining entrance to the prison, heard her confession, and administered to her the Holy Viaticum while the Bishop, Mgr. Guillemin, left no means untried tojobtain a respite. This was granted, and the Viceroy spread a report that the cause would be carried by appeal to Pekin. But in the meantime the populace were excited to fresh violence,, and the mandarins subjected the accused to fresh examinations, forcing her to remain for many hours kneeling upon iron chains. All of a sudden, however, the victim of persecution was set at liberty and received with public demonstrations ofjoy by the Christian part of the population."

QUANTRELL.

Pen Portrait of the Missouri Gnerrilla.

The Davenport Gazette (Iowa) has an account of this famous and savage Missouri guerrilla from the pen of a schoolmate, whence we gather that he was reared and schooled, and probably born also, "in a little half-Moravian, halfQuaker town of the old Buckeye State," where he developed no remarkable qualities, but was rather popular with his playmates, and, when he last visited them, after he had been some time absent in the wilder West, he was "a tall, well-formed youth of twenty or so, with a frank, open face, a kindly smile, and easy ways that quickly won the heart, or, at least, the attention." The writer cofitinues: '•There must have been some weakness to have led him into and on in the fearful career he ran, and it hardly came from the thoughtful, decided father. The soft, yielding, womanly nature of the mother in the son could not say 'No' to the 'Come with us' of his comrades of the moment, and his carelessness and recklessness of the future did the rest. We give him credit for not one grain of Southern sentiment. Had he been slain he had filled no martyr's grave. Like the 'Free Lance' of the middle ages, he simply threw his sword into the scale of present inducement. He thought only of today he regarded not the morrow. "Once launched, the knowledge that after all he was a Yankee, born and bred, doubtless led him to a display of zeal and daring, to prove his devotion, that speedily excited admiration and made him a leader among them. We say leader designedly, for we doubt if he ever ruled or commanded his men, It was not in him and had it been, he might as well have tried to fetter the sea as bind to law and obedience the fierce, lawless desperadoes who formed his force. Border ruffians from Missouri, backwooodsmen from Arkansas, rangers from Texas—the scum of even the worst parts of the South—surely the sun never shone on a more abandoned set of bloodthirsty wretches and the sins, and crimes, and villainies of each and every one of these have been heaped on this "one man's head, the criminal commander. No wonder that, Cain like, he hides from the face of man, if still he lives, or that his punishment has proved to terrible to be borne, if so be that he has perished. Dead or alive, we say that in his case, as in most of like nature, the devil has been painted very much blacker than he is."
