Immediately following the declination of Conkling comes the information that Senator Edmunds has been tendered the supreme judgeship, and that he has declined.

THE XOBMOXS A6AIK. 1,

The pierage of the Edmundafmll, it seems, i? but the ca£nmencemeik$f the dipcustiion of the prolific Mormoxt* question. Senator CaH, of Florida, has takes op the fight in defence of the latter day saints by introducing a resolution which deals largely with the constitution and attempts to show that under the provisions of that aacient document polygamy cannot be suppressed when ii is a fundamental principle of religion, as in the ca?e under consideration. The constitution always was the democratic gospel when all other arguments failed, but thej never could obtain a decision in their faver. The legislation succeeding the war was always oppoeed on tbe ground thr.i it was unconstitutional, but it haB always stood the teat of tbe courts. Andrew Johnson never vetoed a bill without some eloquent remarks on the constitution, but that did not prevent congress from passing the bill over his veto- and making it a law which has never been disturbed by the courts. For years nothing has been beard in congress of the unconstitutionality of proposed measures, until Senator Call, in the depth of his wisdom, has revived the cry io an attempt to shield Mormonism. The senator for Florida may be a distinguished lawyer and fell that, but we venture the prediction that no law drawn up by Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, will be set aside by the^eupreme court of the United States.

While the eenate is endeavoring to dfo something fcr the suppression of. polygamy the house of representatives are moving in tbe same direction. A number of bills are before that body, but- tbe one which seems most likely to secure a favorable report is one which provides for the transfer of the government of Utah from the present legislature of thirty-Bix Mormons, twenty-seven of whom are avowed polygamist?, to a legislative council tf nine citizens of the territory, to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. Some members of the committee want to add to tbe bill a section forever disqualifying bigamists and polygamists from holding any office of honor or trust in any of the territories*

The Mormtn are very much alarmed over the prefect espect of affairs. Their delegate cf numerous wives has been kicked out of congress without ceremony. From all portions of the country there are

pouriDg

into Washington petitions to

have the vile thing trampled out of existence, and there has never been a time when the prospect for its suppression was so good. Members cf congres* are usually very timid in such matters, but now the country is united en this question the people are in earnest in their demands, and no senator or representative need be afraid to advocate the most stringent measures. Mormonism is already too strong. Its evil influences have been o.v—. around in the territories. If it i» remain unchecked it will be beyond the power of congress to control it before many years have passed. The present is the golden opportunity. No threats should prevent the suppression of this vice. In no other country in the world are such practices tolerated, and it is a difgrace that they have been tolerated so long here. Mormon missionaries go abroad to preach their doctrines but their converts have to forsake their homes and come here io practice (heir preachings. To allow these polygamous practices to continue and go unpunished is eimply to advertise to the world that the United States sanctions them or is afraid or powerless to suppress them.

RAILROAD SENSATION S.',:

1 1

Three railroad sensations have occurred that-relate to roads and parties identified with this city. The first is the partial suspension of business on the Illinois Midland road, arising from a strike of some of the employe? also from the refusal of the Peoria and Pekin Upion railway to permit tbe Midland to longer use its track for the purpose of entering Peoria. The circumstances are detailed in our railroad columns.

The next is a decision of the United States Supreme Court, just rendereed, by which the management of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad is transferred to the Chicago, Danville and Yincennes railroad. The decision declares invalid the forcclcture ar.d sale under the mortgage, and reinstates tbe old bondholders whose bo tds have oi late been practically valuelees. It also invalidates all acta of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois diiectory. This will seriousJy interefere with the pending consolidation of this road with the Evsnsrille and Terre Haute railroad, and it is tbe opinion of a well informed railroad man with whom, we have conversed, that the stockholders of the C., D. &Vi railroad will under this decision be tbe real owners cf the &J2. I. railroad. It may be that the Lopes of the Mickey combination will L-e dashed to tb* ground so far as an entrance into Chicago is concerned, but they haVe great resources and determination and will find a wey out cf tie difficult i£ there! is any.

The next sensation ia the appointment of Jogephua Collet t, of this city, as receiver of the Indianapolis and Evansville Railroad ("HemjV: road") by Judge Parrelt rf the circuit court of Vanderburg county. This was done' cn Monday under a petition of John U. Brockman, of New Yorfc, and Elish S. BabCock, jr., of Evansville, for the appointment of a receiver and the issuance of an order, retraining R. J. Hervey from disposing of certain bonds cf the roadj rlro asking judgment for interest overdue to Brockman, owner of a large amount of bonds of said road. Tbe restilt will bs disastro'QB to Mr. Hsrvey, who has shown wonderful pluck and perseverance ia contending against advene fate aa long as he ha*

Horatio Seymouf has written a letter to the chairman oi the committee on canals in the New York assembly in favor of making the canals of New York free. In concluding bis letter he says "The chief element in tfce prosperity of every state or nation is lie economy of transportation of perto'na and property. It ia the most marked fact in the difference between civilization and barbarism." It is now in order for Tilden say feipeihing. If he doe&n't the chances are that a Seymour boofa will soon be under way,

The Indianapolis correspondent of the New York Times hts this to ny in regard to die coining congnuiiooal nominations in this sttate:

This week a number of oounty conventioDs have been held, and mattns have shaped up In several Congressional districts. In this dlstilct the sentiment is all but unanimous for tbe renomination of Mr. Petlle. The convention will be held on March 25, and the form of the renominaaon gone through with. The temperance people have announced their opposition to Mr. Peelleforhb conlse when a member at the State Legislature. They opposed him last tirae, and there is no reason to fear his defeat next fall, particularly if Or. De La Matyr runs ss the Greenback candidate. B. B. F. Peirce is as good as renominated in the Terre Haute district There will be some cp orftion to Major Steele, of the Wabash district, bat he will be nominated without trouble. It is not known whether or not Mr. Orth proposes to be a candidate for renomination. If he is a candidate there will be opposition la that district The Hon. Joseph B. Gray, of Hamilton oounty, came within half a vote of defeating him in the last convention, and is again in the field for the race. In the

Thirteenth, Mr. Btndebeker, of the South Bend Wagon Woiks, has entered the list and will prove a formidable, candidate, It being understood, of course, that Mr. Calkins isnota randi-

dat°'

The number c-f pension cases of all claases considered by the pension bureau is 769,§08. Out of this number 2,188 have been dropped from the rolls, and 1,975 pending claims rejected. The investigations have resulted in 581 indictments for attempts to defraud the government, of which 160 .were co nvicted. During the same time 295 attorneys were suspended from practice, 164 debarred, 113 disbarred, and 169 dropped. False affidavits caused nearly all these troubles, and tin less congress will place at the com missiocef'a disposal a sum sufficient to enable him to largely increase the number of special agents, there is no prospect of a decrease in the number of attempts to defraud the government by presenting bogus claims.

A family named Cass, numbering seven persons, of Tamplco, Howard county, were poisoned. One little girl is dead, and several others are in danger. The coroner and several physicians irom Kokomo went there on Monday. The symptoms indicate arsenic as the poison used, ana it in supposed to have been put into tbe well.

Tbe decision is based on the supposition that separate schools have been provided for them, equal In every respect to the white schools this, however, iB not the case, and a new hearing has been asked on an. amended complaint stating that such schools have not been provided.

A Woman's Throat Cut. BOSTON, March 7.—This morning as Mrs. Harry E. Bell was walking in Kirtland street, near her home, a well-dressed man ran np behind her, spoke to her, and then cut her throati She lived but two minutes. She was heard to say to the man iust before tbe cutting, "I don't know you." The assassin was not arretted.

Almost immediately npon entering her house, and while she stood at the foot of the stairway the stranger drew a long knife and plunged it into the neck of the unfortunate woman, who stood still a moment with the blood-pouring out in a great stream, and then turned and found her way into the back parlor, where ahe sank into a chair, screaming, "I am mnrdered I" Her daughter, aged 13, says: "I heard mamma screaming down in the front entry and Iran down. A- I was going down stairs 1 saw a man guiog out at the trout door. His back waa turned toward me, but I saw the side of his face and part of his moustache. It waa a big black moustache. He was a big man. When I got down stairs my mamma was sitting on a chair in the back room, and the blood wsa pouring] out of her neck. She fell on the floor, and that was all I saw."

Three arrests have I wen made, but the right person is believed not to have yet been captured.

The Greenback State nominating convention, recently held ia Indianapolis, extended a courtesy to a woman which other politic&1 conventions would do well to eul. .Daring the heated discussion on the two aOnru„. j)r Annie B. Campbell, the well-known temperance and woman suffrage lecturer, was discovered sitting in one of the boxes, watching and listening with interest. The convention invited Mjs. Campbell, as a representative of the eex moat interested in the questions under discussion, to present her views. Mrs. Campbell responded in a telling, yet graceful and womaHly speech, some twenty minutes long, urging from a woman's standpoint the propriety isnd justice of submitting both amendment* to the popular vote. This, it is believed, is the first time a woman has addressed a State political nominating csnvention in Indiana.

A woman does not give up her wifehood or her motherhood, her graces or her sensibilities, when she becomes a voter not at all. But she ah all be free to pursue such activities as her own natural desires shall dictate. JEluffrage will inorease woman's self-respect. When the considers these higher questions of general interest fthe becomes a larger and nobler person. It will be an elevator. She will advance by its exercise from a subordinate position to one of higher duty and responsibility. It will double her powera. She has thought and activity, but she lacks jast what will give validity and power to her highest and beBt thoughts of fife. I can not see how woman's characters are to be injured by voting. Look upon- society in our midst where the rights of women are most generally acknowledged, there she attains her finest development. There can be no higher wifehood -Mid Motherhood than we sea here in oW? country. There is no evidence tt it her moral character has been toned down. Oa the contrary, it has been made nobler cud. stronger by the sense of- responsibility.—[Rev.. Samuel B. Stewart. stffco -a

The woman question is on a ihaV sooner or later, will force itself toeefUcmjoi, and the sooner that all good citizsos recognize this fact the better. The anti-slavery qncstion did, and so will this, because there are things in the position of women •before the law wbjch ought to be settled. Nor will a laugh or a sneer from any quarter answer the downright study of the best minds, male or female, must be bad. Of course it ^ras never khown that any reform lived long, or indeed wasever attempted, unless there were need. It is alsotrne that every refornihaaits fanatics but the man must be either- an ignorant, or worse,who does not see that woman's position,^honorable as it often ia, needs grave modifications in this Republic, The laws condensing tbe propelty of marrited women need, ovehauling. Chivalry withont jastice is -mockery and insult. That a single woman with property should he taxed bat not allowed to vote is tbe old wrong of taxation without representation. As things are, voting may be a blessing er a curse, but this Republic goes upon the theory that it is a blessing. Why then deny it to women? We jive a"vote to foreigners and enfranchised p|**e& the American woman leas* trustworthy ?—[Literary World. ... thh

Constitutional Prohibition Hon-FoKti-cal. '-V EditorExpre*. •:5 •.,.v,-.

iroin-

The qwftion of constitutionally pi htbiiing die manufacture apd sale of tcXicattsc liquors as A beverage, involing the other question of the right of free people to be heard by a free vote upon matters affecting their public welfare are the moet important questions ever presented to the people oi toe State of Indiana. The temperance people of t^e State voiced by the Grand Temperance .Council were content to let _the issue be simply cne of submitting this question to tbe vote of the people, without forming a political party of their own, or even asking the co-operation or endorsement of any of tbe existing parties.

The Anti-Prohibition league have made the following issue: "The Anti-Prohibition League among others things have

Resolved, That as citizen and electors of this State, we pledge ourselves to support no candidates in the coming State and L?gislative election who do not with os condemn and oppose the tyrannical prohibition system, the proposed prohibitory Constitutional amendment, ana other prohibitory legislation."

That your readers may have a clear view of the principles involved, the following extracts from the proceedings of tbe grand council at its last full meeting will be to the point: "Thus tbe issue is made-a fabe one to start with. Tbe question iot the next Legislature is not of prohibition. No member of it will be called npon^ to caat a vote for prohibition The Legislature will have nothing to do with the question. This is one for

Jbe people and not

for the Legislatnre.. "Our .people are composed of three classes—native Americans, law-obeyinsr, law-respecting citizens of foreign birth, and a tnird class who respect neither law, morals or public opinion when they would gratify their selfiqh desires. "We are not yet tired of American in stitutions. Our Government waa formed by wise men, with pure hearts. Its foundation principle is, the people shall control. 'The people' means a majority of ihe people. "By locking at the names signed to these auti-prohibition resolutions it will be seen that they are not drafted or signed by men born under a free flag. They may be naturalized, bet naturalized citizenship does not give them the right to maintain an evil by the destruction of the American idea that the people have -the right to control, and the wisdom and patriotism of an American citizen will not permit the foundation to be taken from under the structure, erected by patriotic hand*, under thei ahadow of whose dome the oppressed of all Nations may find rest and peace. "Majorities do control,and will control, this government. The question for the next Legialatuie, as presented by these anti-prohibitionists, is not whether we shall have prohibition or not bnt it is: Shall the Legislature permit the people to enjiy the privileges of being American citizens?.

The question is not now presented^ whether, as they say, men are to have their property or business /ruined, but the question they piesent is deeper and broader. It is this: Shall an American be robbed of his citizenship, and our Government of its cardinal virtue? And this destruction of citizenship is evoked in order to maintain the greatest curse and crime of the age. "If prohibition is wrong, let the people, not tbe saloon keepers, say so. If the Government is wrong, let the American people—its friends—"say so, not its enamies, who would destroy it in order to satisfy selthh appetites and cupidity. "The poople of Iodiana will not be deccitwv The question for the next Legislature is not, onaii i—,« prohibition? bat shell we have the right to vote upon it? Temperance men only aik that the question shall be submitted. When the proper time comes their appeal will be to the judgment and heart of the voter. "But from the candidate—especially, since the action of the liquor interests—^ the demand will be that the people have the right to exercise their citizenship. Therefore in order that no misunderings arise: "Resolved, That each candidate, in each political party, for the State Senate and House of Representatives, in the year 1882, in Indiana, be asked to-an-swer the following questions, said answer to be positively in the affirmative or negative: 'If elected to the State Legislature, in the House or Senate, will you support and vote to submit the pending prohibitory Constitutional amendment to a vote of the people for their adoption or rejection?' Said question to be given in writing by the State Central Committee of the Grand Temperance Council, and to be ansiflered in writing by the candidate. A refusal to reply to said question by said candidate to be considered equivalent to a negative answer."

No party has been asked to endorse prohibition as a party measure, neither will they be. The Greenback party has declared in favor of submission, and the Republican Editors' State Convention declared in substance the same thing and there is but little doubt but that the Republican and Democratic State Conventions will do the same.

It ia safe to trust the people. No one •can complain of. these principles, J. D. M.

Calendar.

IfcDlll presented a memorial of the Iowa Legislature for an appropriation of not less than 17,000,000 for the improvement of the Missouri river, between Sioux City, Iowa, and St. Charles, Missool.

Seek, from the Finance Committee, reported favorably, with amendment, tbe bill to punlah the unlawful certification ot checks by officers of National banks.

Dawes reported favorably tbe bill to ratify the agreement with tbe Crow Indians for tbe sale of tbe portion of the reservation required for the use of tbe Northern Pacific Railroad.

George Introduced a joint resolution authorising the Secretary of War to use hospital tents to furnish temporary shelter to snfferera by the Mississippi overflow: passsd.

McCall introduced a resolution calling on the President for information whether any representation has been made by the diplomatic representative of tbe United States at Chill that the United Slates would regard with indiQerence or consent to the dismemberment of Peru by the cession of an part of her territory to Chill, nnder esfeting circumstances, and whether such statement waa made with authority: ordered printed.

The Finance Committee was discharged from consideration ot the bill to cheapen transportation on railroads.

The Chinese bill was again taken up, and Miller, of California, called attention to tbe recent popular demonstrations in California and Nevada in biebalf of the bill. He had read a dispatch from the mass meetings, tho largest, he raid, ever held in California, at San Francisco, Stockton, Los Angeles, Santa Cnis, Nevada City, Sonora and various other points, reciting their proceedings and the resolutions they adapted in advocacy of the bill.

Failey said ha had also recelvtd a number of dispatches of a similar import from meetings at Sacramento City, Oakland and elsewhere.

Fair had mad a dispatch from the Governor of Nevada, dated March 4, stating that mass meetings for restriction were then in progress in ail the Important towns, and that the State was unanimously in lavor of the bill.

The subject was further discussed by Dawes in opposition to the bill and Edmunds In favor of it. At the conclusion of Admunds' speech Piatt obtained the floor, but preferring to proceed to-morrow on account of the condition of his healt-i, the California Senators, who wanted the bill disposed of to-day, attempted to have a limit set to tbe debate, but unanimous consent was not obtained,

TOR HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 7, 1882. On motion of Neal, the bill passed creating a local board of Inspectors of Hulls and Boiler at Galipolis, Ohio.

The Senate bill appropriating 120.000 for the erection of a statue to Chief Justice John Marshall passed.

Robeson, from the Committee on Rules, reported back tbe resolution for the appointment of a Congressional committee to attend the celebration of the anniversary of the discovery of the mouth of the Mississippi. After discussion the resolution was l*id on the table—77 to 30.

The House went into Committee of tbe Whole on the state of the Union, and Kasson called up the tariff commission bill.

It was not a bill to raise revenue. There waa a very general discussion of the point whether tbe bill was or was not a revenue measure, aad finally the Chair delivered bis decision, stating that so far as be could find there was no previous ruling on the question. The single question which he was called upon to decide was whether the bill was entitled to preference under the rule which gave such preference to bills for raising revenue. Tbls was a bill to instruct a commUtee to investigate. It would be noted that the language of the rule was not "relating to revenue." As ho understood the meaning of bills for "raising revenue" they were bills laying taxes and authorising duties and imports*

The Chair sustained the point cf order, and ruled that a bill for tbe appointment of a tariff commission bad not precedence nnder the rales to consideration at the present time.

Under decision of the chairman of the Committee of the Whole the tariff commission bill must take its regular place on the calendar, where it stands fifty fourth In order. Among the bills which must be disposed of or 1-ila aside before It is reached is that providing a permanent construction fund for tbe Navy. The advocates of this measure will probably resist any attempt to have It set aside without consideration, and ia view of the fact that the opponents of the tariff bill may demand tbe yeas and nays on setting aside every bill which precedes it on tbe calendar, the prospect of an early discussion of the measure is not promising, unless the Ways and Means Committee ran devise some way to obviate tbe necessity of passing over other measures seriatim.

The agricultural appropriation bill was taken up, Kasson, of Iowa, stating tbat though he would not now antagonize tbe bill, be would, when its consideration was completed, unless Instructed otherwise by the Committee on Ways and Means, attempt to reach tbe tariff bill l,y moving to lay aside every bill before it on the calendar.

The amount appropriated by the agricultural appropriation bill is 1396,880, an increase of 871,880 over tbe appropriations of last year, and a reduction of 106,100 from the estimates.

Aiken, of North Carolina, after an appeal for an appropriation for the encouragement of tea -culture In this oountry, branched off to a general discussion of the question of tariff, advocating a revision of the customs duty, and especially a reduction of the duty upon iron.

Turner, of Kentucky, also made a speech in denunciation of the present tariff system, and as an example of the hardships created by it, followed In imagination the daily life of a farmer, from the hour he pot on bis flannel shirt, taxed 86 per cent, to the, moment be covered himself in the evening with a blanket, taxed over 100 per cent., asserting that every article he made use of in his agricultural pursuits waa heavily taxed for the benefit of tbe manufacturers. He waB. opposed to a tariff oommlsslon, regarding It as merely a oontlnua tion of a bad cause. He did not believe Congress should delegate its powers The oountry had bad an electoral commission, and waa disgusted. At any rata the Democrats were disgusted. He criticised the rules of tbe House whk-h put It in tbe power cf a pa jorlty of the Committee on Ways and Means to nfceket every bill referred to it. Tbe rule that permitted that wes not only despotic but damnable

Dunnell, of Minnesota, dryly inquired Whether the Democratic caucus had voted not to ehange the rules. ...

Turner replied that ha did not understand him, and upon tbe suggestion of Atkins, of Tennessee, sent to the Clerk's d«sk and had read tbe resolution adopted by the caucus and published.

The committee then rose. The Senate bill passed authorizing the Secretary of War to use hospital tents for the relief of sufferers from the overflow "of the MissIIsippi Stiver.
