Polygamy In Utah.
Frtm the Tribune.
The llouso Committee on Territories have ap
plied to Bcoretary Stanton for permission to
summon General P. Edward Conner, command
tag the United States forces In Utah, and the
Iter. Norman MeLeol, Taylor of the "Gentile"
Church In Salt Lake City, to nppoar before
them and testify touching the condition ot Utah
and the manner In which the laws of the United
States are observed and enforced. Judge Titus,
Supremo Justice of the Territory, and a number
ot other -fitnesses, have already been examined
by them on the same point. We are assured,
bemi-oflicially, that the Government hits do
cidod to appoint no more polygamies to otfice.
There should be no harsh or hasty doslins
with a community of religious fanatics; but all
must acquiesce in the wisdom of this determi
nation. Indeed, lustice and good policy seem
to require that the polygauiists now riling Im
portant and responsible Federal ofllcea should
be removed at once, ana tneir piacps nueu uj
men who, whatever their religious laith, re
t pect and obey '.lie laws of the country. It Is a
national scandal that even the United States
District Attorney in Utah the very man whoso
sworn othcial duty It is to prosecute violations
of the anti-poljRsmy statute -is an oppn and
avowed violator of it, being the husband of tour
wives.
rierco and Party.
From the Tribune.
Mr. Pierce has made a speech. In New Hamp
shire. At a Democratic caucus. Only a por
tion of It has reached us a delicate tit bit a
crumb of old auo wisdom the quintessence of
along and varied experience a sort of apho
rism bursting with sagacity a barrol of political
philosophy boiled down to a pint a recipe, In
small, lor all the country's compluints and
very kind it was to let us know w nat a bloesc 1
"change"' awaits the land, "when people will bo
broughito look to something hlnuer than the
norpetiiation of party power." This is a singu
lar confession to conio from one born ot party,
nursed by party, rescued lrom obscurity by
party, and also, we must confess, remanded to
ob'curlty by the same agency. It is certainly
an odd enough remark to be made in a caucus,
and the question will arise what General Pierce
was doing at the caucus at nil? liut we re
member the poor fox who lo.-4 his tali in a trap,
and who, in full convention of his tellow-loxes,
advised them all to nave their flappers ampu
tated. Not that there may not be some truth in
General Pii'ice's remark only he has been -uch
a weary long while in arriving at itt If he
could only have been as wise at twentv-one !
There are lour years In the history ot the United
Stutca which might have been brighter.
Perhaps, as a sincere penitent, ii would be
come Mr. Pierce to issue a sort ot circular letter
to his old cronies, it he can forgive their deser
tion, stating succinctly his new views, and ad
vising bis brethren to act upon them. He m.ist
know that a desperate attempt is now and ha
been for some time on foot to resuscitate tae
Democratic party: that Cox thinks there is life
in it yet; that Vallandigham is of the same
opinion; that Governor Seymour does not
despair of It; that none of tne-e worthies have
any notion 01 going out of the old business, if
it can, by hook or bv crook, be mado to pay.
Mr. Pierce may not think the party of his old
affections worth saving; but such is not the
opinion of his ancient colleagues. Mpan while,
if be will make no more caucus speeches, it
will be a pleasure to us to count him out, and
never to mention bis name in connection with
politics again.
The Personnel ol the Administration.
From the Timet.
We do not think we have had an administra
tion of our Government since its foundation
which, as a body, bos, had higher ability and
character than the present, or one In which the
country has had a greater confidence and pride.
The scope of our governmental affairs is much
greater now than in former times, and the ques
tions dealt with have been infinitely more diffi
cult of solution than any in our previous his
tory; but the heads of our principal departments
have exhibited the highest capacity for their
great work and the most eminent fitness for
their positions. They will bear comparison not
only with any of the illustrious men who figured
in our Government in its earlier or in later days,
but what is perhaps at present a more fitting
com partton with the statesmen of any of the
Cabinets of the great Statos of Europe.
No one would fear comparison between the
diplomatic capacity of Secretary Seward and
Karl Kustell or Drouyn de Lhuys between the
financial eenius of Secretary McCulloch and
Gladstone or Fould, and as tor Secretary Stan
ton, tho course of recent European history has
had no opportunity for the display of abilities
such as lie has illustrated, while he certainly
would not sutler by being placed alongside of
any of the War Ministers of any of the great
European Towers in any ot tho great military
epochs. In the other departments, which from
their nature have less prominence than these
three, the heads aro all men who bring to their
duties abilities of an order rarely excelled in
public functionaries.
The fact is of the very highest importance to
us as a nation. Besides the popular con tide nee
in the adminibtration of the various departments
which It generates, it gives the country a feel
ing of conscious strength and dignitied self
respect, such as it has not always during the
present generation been able to maintain.
In the brut position in our Administration, we
have in President Johnson a man whose course
under the most dillicalt circumstances what
ever criticisms may be made as to forms and
details, or whatever may be said by malignauts
like Phillips as to motive or object has been
signalized by profound patriotism, by unim
peachubly Integrity, and by couraue; and whose
policies have been comprehensive, tar-reaching,
discreet, and conservative, and of a nature cal
culated to r fleet the purpose which he has de
clared to be his sole ambition the perfect
reunion of all the States in fact and in spirit.
While on tho one hund President Johnson
has approved himselt a man of nioat ener-
f;etic forces, which are constantly demand
ugexpresBicn, he has aleo recently shown him
selt to be- D0888sed of "the raie power of con
serving or holding in cbeok his forces of
patiently permitting events to mov on and
develop themselves, where he lacks the power
of interference, or where his hasty Interference
would retard their progress towards the end
, which he desires consummated. This is one of
the last attainments of manhood, and one of the

with tho other great trait9 of Johncon's life and
administration, has established him in the pub
lic confidence to an extent only equalled in the
ease of his immediate Dredccesjor.
Secretary Seward's name is a tower of
national strength, and i held in orolound
respect throughout the world. This certainly is
not because H has been his iortune to obtain
popularity by following popular idess or
caprices, or to secure fame by the achievement
ot simple tabors. In domestic politics, he stood
lor lour vears as the recognized public champion
of the unpopular caue of nnti-sUverv, and the
exponent ol an idea which the eye or faith might
foresee would inform the "partv of the future."
but which had tittle prospect of obtuming
political power tor generations. Since he has
had the conduct of our foreign relations, be
baa to oppose the purpose, prelndires, and
interests of nearly all the Governments with
which he carried on intercourse, and be lias had
to do so under oircumstances often calculated to
irritate and vex. Yet in all be has been suc
cessful, and through all he has grown up to the
full measure ot honor and fame.
Stanton was unknown to the country until he
was Darned Secretary of War; but ho no sooner
assumed the title than the fact was patent North
and South, in the army and In all the States.
It is common enough now to recognize his in
tegrity, his energv, his strength, and his great
ness, to magnity his labors and celebrate his
achievements. A3 in Seward'a casf , the issue
and tesnlt of his works constitute their final
encomium, and by this view, he stands foremost
among the militsry administrators of history.
Tbe burden of Stanton's labors, and the bur
den of Seward's may bo said to have ended with
the war; but the burden of duties imposed upon
Secretary McCulloch ts hardly less to-day than
it was a year ago. Our financial movement
have been and still are like the movements of
our war, on the most gigantic scale. For tboir
governance thoy demand nothing Bhort of finan
cial genius.
Whether we regard the volume and condition
of our currency, the state of our credit, and of
the money market, or the ceaseless demands aud
enormous expenditures, we see -that the genius
which through them all could maintain our
honor and uphold our credit as well as It has
been upheld, must have been of a pre-eminent
order. Since the close of the war, as during his
brie! term ot ottico whilo the war lasted, secre
tary McCulloch has displayed consummate skill;
and we believe that ii Congress will allow him
the liberty of action winch he requires, he will
work out for tbe country its financial problem,
and establish the national credit sound and Qrm.
As a political torce, Secretary McCulloch is not
much known to tho people; but as a powerful
and intelligent supporter ot toe policy ot the
President, as an enemv of ultraism, and a Dure-
minded pptriot, he lends the weight ot his char
acter and influence to the rehabilitation of tho
tJciou. the re-eslablixhment of its ancient Con
stitution, and the formation ol its new life.
(jr such a body ot national servants it is but
fitting that the nation should be proud.
The Reconstruction Committee and their
Latest Constitutional Amendment.
From the Herald.
The special order of the day in tho Federal
House of Representatives on Monday nest, will
probably bo tho resolution irom tho Recon
struction Committee, embracing the following
proposition for an amendment of tho Constitu
tion, to wit:
That Congress shall uavo rower to make all laws
wliich shall be uocossiiry and proper to soouro to wis
cmzei's of each ts.ate all tlio pnvnccc. and immuul-tii-s
ol citizens in he soveral Mates, and to all per
sons in iIjo several Sta'es equal protection iu itio
ripbts of lifo, liberty, aud property.
This is a fair proposition, but it seems to us
wholly unnecessary and siiucriluou?. The Con
stitution as it is expressly declares that "the
citizens ot each State shall be entitled to ail
the pri ilef.es and immunities ot citi.ens iu the
several States;" and as tins ia included in that
division ol the constitution which treats ot tho
powers of Coneress, the enlorcouient of thoso
equal "privileges and immunities" clearly bo
longs to Congress. Next, w.th resurd to the
protection ol all persons in the several States
in the nehts of hie, liberty, and property.
What is this for? Enactments by ContnreiS for
the enforcement of theso personal rights have
heretofore never been thought ot. Tha Sta'e
Legislatures, and the State and United State
courts, have answered the purposo. But while,
lictore the late Rebellion, according: to Chief
Justice Taney, the neero had no rijhis wttish
wnuo men were bound to respect, he has, since
the war, with the abolition of slavery, been ad
vanced by the Constitution to the level of the
"tree pe, sous" or citizens of the United States.
Mr. Bancroft, in his late Lincoln discourse bo
fore Coneress, said that the Dred Scott dcoision
had no foundation iu civil law, canon la 1, feudal
jaw, common law, or constitutional law; but
still, under the Constitution as it was, State
legislation and Congressional legislation had
established a system of civil and political dis
criminations against the blacks, such as to pal
liate to a great extent the bold and startling
construction given lrom the Supreme Court by
Judge Taney of the Constitution itself.
me war, however, and the amendment abol
ishing slavery have swept every vesture of au
thority from the Constitution tor these Discrimi
nations against the blades of this country in
reierence to their general civil and political
rights. If tbe free negro of the United States
had no rights which white men wore bound to
respect, it was because his whole race fell under
the ban involved in the Constitutional recogni
tion and protection of African slavery. With
that Institution swept away, the negro born and
raised in the United States becomes a citizen of
tho United States, and one of the people, in
whose name tbe Constitution stands. Thus, in
the amendment abolishing slavery, the power
embraced "to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation" gives to Congress the power to
enforce the general civil aud political rights of
the blacks as citizens. The distinctions result
ing from slavery are wiped out, and there is no
such color as white or black in the Constitution
from the beginning to the end. It is a most re
markable tact, too, tnat the tirst appearance of
tho word "slavery" in tha Constitution is in the
amendment abolishing slavery. It shows that
"the father" were ashamed of it, and that even
while recognizing it by ruundbout phrases thoy
framed their work to meet the ultimate attain
ment of universal liberty.
Why. then, all these superfluous Constitu
tional amendments? They are the tricks of the
party in power, as excuses for tho continued
exclusion ot toe excluded Southern States.
They are intended as food for buncombe as
political capital for electioneering purposes in
the North. They are intended to divert the
public attention from the practical issues of
Southern restoration to the agitation of plausible
BDt' actions, in me exercise or the powers
which they now possess, the two Houses of Con
tress may establish ample protection and securi
ties concerning tho civil and political rights ot t he
Southern blacks, and in a very short time secure
a full representation fiom ail the States on a
satistuctoiy looting of loyalty. But the domi
nant party are playing their game for power a
bold and dangerous game indeed, but one in
which they will probably not be cheeked short
of some emphatic warning from our approach
ing Northern elections.
Supei Octal Iteform.
7Vom the World.
That portion ot th,e report of the Revenue
Commissioners which considers "the organiza
tion awl administration of a revenue system,')
bears evidence that tho Commissioners eltaor
were constrained to make a report before their
views were matured, or that the subject was too
largo and complex for their grasp. Neither of
these theories is any impeuchment ot tne gene
ral intelligence or Industry of the Commission.
The fiist, of courso, is not; and, as to the last, it
would not be strange that a commission made
up of men, none of whom evsr had experience
in the high places of Federal Administration,
should find themselves plunged in a sea ot diui
cultieB and confllctu g theoiles.
In respect to the Internal ravenue, the Com
missioners say that they "have no allegation of
fraud to present, but at the same time are con
strained to odd that in point of organization
and administration it ia very far lrom what it
should be."
They specify "a lack of power and authority ia
the Internal Revenue Depaitmen to con'sol itself.
especially in the matter of expenditures," and
give as illustrations such detects in organization
or administration as the following:
I. Too little power in the Commission to ex
pend money, as reward tor information or
lattr fill special service; and too much power iu
aud'ting ofllcers of Treasury to check; theje ex
penditures. II. Limitation in number of ofllcers, anl in
adequacy of salaries.
ill. Impossibility of finding a man competent
for full discharge of all the duties now devolved
upon and expected ol the Commissioner.
IV. No lire-proof building in Washington In
which to keep records andpapeisof internal
revenue.
V. The prevailing policy of making the ap
pointment, retention, and promotion of o Ulcers
of this Bureau depend on politics alone.
VI. Ignorance on tho part ol ofllcers who have
been (elected and appointed by Mr. Lincoln's
Administration.
The Commission are of opinion that these
imperfections cannot be remedied without "an
ititire reorganization of the whole macnlnery
aud policy of the bureau." We will let the Com
mifsion describe their project in thetr own
words:
ll.e Commission would smrFMt that tho first of
these 1 lie co Jeoiion 01 tbe rerMiae be titnsierrad
lrom tbe immediate responsibility ol the oeoretary
ot tlie Treasury, and. suo.jcot only to hia guueral
ant ervision, bo placed under the charge of a new
oflicer, subordinate only iu rauk and 10 nmount of
salary to lue Secretary, . who shall be at v lea tlie
Uni.cr-broieUry of the ireuary in ciiaifre of the
Revenue; and iliat 10 this officer mould be assigned
the poueral oversight and direouon ot the collection
01 the levennee, and tbe preparation of an annual
exhibit ot iho condition ot the revenue, trade, com
merce, and industry ol tho country.
Tlio Commission would also propose that, In con
ncciion with the new drpar.muiit of the Treasury,
Itiere should be unpointed a Commissioner ot tlie
Customs and a Commissioner of the Kxoltte, with a
honci'OKt the Customs and a Solioilor 01 the hix
c.rei and that those live otlloor should consulate a
Board, to be known as toe Board ot Commissioner
ot Iht) Beviuuo, ot wbicb tho Undui-beorotary of tae
Treasury eliou d be tlio ohalrman.
To lb s Board bhouid L re erred tho dotermlna'ton
01 al rules aud rerilat.'oiis relating to tbe collection
ot the revenue; tlio expenditure to oe Inouireilin
its. ict to the same; ti.e niananement of all revenue
processes at law 1 and tho distribution ot all moiotios
received from lonei ure and penalties, In re vard
lor food s rico and lor valuable luioriraiion. 1 bey
would also proi ose that no subordinate odicer ot tlie
revenue slu ulu receive a commission until bis quali
fications lor tie proper UiHiburiie ol his du.ioa bad
Leeu exaiuiu.d m o and approved ot by tbo Board
01 Commissioner.
It will be seen that this outline of the plan of
the Commission, besides creatiua a new army of
ollice-holdcrs, gives to tbe Secretary a "general
supervision," which means, we suppose, as
iniii'h fcupervision us each Secretary may be in
cline d to tnke. At auy rate, this scheme, by
giviiig to him "general supervision," makes the
bccietary really lespomsible for the administra
tion ot the Board ol Commissioners.
The repoit before us abstains from intimation
of the proposed teuuro ot otlice ot tho mera'jcr-t
of the Bourd, and tho mode of appointment.
What sccuiUy can and will there be in law, that
tin'. Board cannot and will not be changed with
each political revolution iu the Federal tjoveru
mtntr It is sui'gLSted, o bo sure, that no sub
ordinate oilicer of tho revenue shall receive a
cominisiioii wuhout examination uud approval
thereof by tho Board; but the act of Congress 01
llaich, lbC'd, has a similar provision that no
clerk shall be appointed without f-lm lar exami
nation and npprovul by a Board, and that accom
plishes nothing, fcav the Commission; so that the
proposal now submitted is only treading in tho
came old circle.
Lvciy Bourd of Commissioners will Inevitably
be compluisaut to the Secretary of the Treasury,
who is a superior oinccr, witn poer ot "gene
ral supervision;'' and whomever he or tho Pre
sident desire appointed will, as a matter of
course, be commissioned. ISO Kind ot legisla
tion under our existing Constitution cau keep
the President from being virtually supreme in
executive matters. lie niles first by perauasion,
and. it that mils, he has only to remove the re
fractory officer or Board, aud appoint another
moie dispone.! to be attentive to his iutiuia
tious, and watchful of his wishes.
The evil of incompetent otticiaU complained
of by the report cannot be remedied by croatiug
more places, to be Piled by men no better than
thoso now in ollice. The only true path ol
reiorm io, first, 10 turn out the iucapables now
in power, and theu elevate butter poo pie in
tteir sicau.
Tbe plant! subdivision ol labor proposed-by
tho report is now prac'ically iu operation ia
Washington. There u an Under-Secretary. Mr.
John r . Hartley, wno has oversight and atrec
tion of tbo collection of tho revenue. Tbero
are already a Commissioner of Customs and a
tioacitor ot Customs, and these doubtless con
stantly confer together, and 4o all that U sue
Ectcd by the report. It may be that there is
necessity for a Commissioner aud Solicitor of
the Excise, but we doubt it. Everybody knows
that Mr. Hartley is the actual, though not tho
legal. Secretary of the Treasury iu revenue
matters.
It is very certain that, upon the point ot
organization and administration of the revenue,
the n-port before us not oily falls to present any
new scheme of practicable reform which pro
mises any cooa result, but it is singularly feeble
in uncovering and signalizing the real ciuse of
existing delects in administration. And we,
tberelot e, conclude that the Commission were
either lorccd into a premature report, or that
the subject was too largo for their comprehen
sion, by reason ot ignorance of practical depart
mental and bureau experience.
Sustaining the Administration.
To the Editor of the Evening Telegraph:
It was deeply regretted by every really wise
and good citizen that the national Adminis
tration bad to encounter an organized oppo
sition in this section of the Union during tho
progress of the late Rebellion. It was said
then, and said with great truth, too, that
there should be but one party in the loyal
States; and that those who were cot for the
Government during the trying emergency in
question, were necessarily against it. It is
well known that Mr. Lincoln's Administra
tion was seriously embarassed by those who,
professiDg loyalty to the Constitution, yet
objected to almost every important measure
that was adopted for the suppression of the
Rebellion ; and it maybe truthfully asserted
now, In vindication of the character and good
name oi the "martyred President," that most,
if not all of those acts of his that were de
nounced as arbitrary, or unwarranted by
strict law, were rendered necessary, and
therefore Justified, by the practical aid which
tbe Rebels received from a faction here in the
North, whese members, while claiming to be
adverse to secession, pursued a course ot
action which positively Impeded the Govern
ment in all its efforts to put down the Seces
sionists. We recall this fact from no desire to heap
odium on those persons In the loyal Sta.es
who were either opposed to the lato civil war
on the part of tbe national uu'horltles, or who
did not, at least, heartily sympathize and
co-operate with the Executive and Congress
in their endeavors to quell the Insurrection,
History will take care of all that with posterity,
and the account will, no doubt, be Anally Bet
tied in a mauner that will mete out equal
justice to all concerned. But tbe lessons of
tbe recent past should not be lost to the
immediate present. The Rebellion, indeed,
has tern conquered. The clang of arms in
fratricidal strlle is heard no more In the land.
The great problem wbct'ier this Government is
able to maintain itself against domestic trea
son on the most gigantic scale upon which it
could possibly be organized, bas been brought
to the tebt, and worked out to a most satis
factory, and, we hope, an ultimate and lasting
solution. It should not, however, be supposed
that the Government has yet so completely
finished the task imposed upon it by the
Rebellion, as to be able to dispense with the
harmonious and cordial support of all those
who are genuinely and sincerely loyal to IU
The present Administration, indeed, bas
quite as arduous and Important a work to
perform In restoring the late rebellious States
and their people to their appropriate relations
to the Union, as tbe previous Administration
bad in overcoming the Insurgents In the field.
And, therefore, President Jonssos, La his
efforts to accomplish a wWe and sound policy
of reconstruction, is Just as much in need of,
and Just as much entitled to, the confidence,
sympathy, and co-operation of every loyal
citizen In the whole country, as was Mr.
Lincolh during the progress of the war.
Factious opposition to the Government now,
in Congress or out of it, Is hardly, if at all,
less Injudicious, less unwarranted, or less re
prehensible, than it was when the armies of
the South were facing the soldiers of the
Union in the field, and advancing even to tbe
very gates of the national capital. . President
Johkson feels this truth, no doubt, more pro
foundly and painfully than any other man in
this country, and he must have been intensely
gratified on Wednesday last; when a large
number of the leading citizens of Montana
Territory waited on him at the White House,
and pledged to him their earnest approval of
his policy, and their purpose to sustain him In
it to the end. Tbeir spokesman, Mr. B. M.
riK met, in the course of his address on that
occasion said:
"We are using no idle or imaginary words
when we assure you that we taKe tho greatest
possible pleasure in saying ihat we recognize in
you, as the Chief Magistrate of this great
nation, a person who possesses that sound mind,
that general knowledge, that firm and patriotic
devotion to the ruling interest and welfare of
the whole country, which are so necessary to
carry it tafel.v over the ocean of political specu
lation and debate. We attach no ereat import
ance to tb is oreeverat ion ot our leelings in rela
tion to yourseb, but we should be doing injustice
to ourselves and injustice to the people of the
Territory of Mont mo, and should merit their
severest censure, It we did not say that we firmly
believe that if you meet with a cordial and
generous support 011 every hand, this nation
will come forth from this present political crisis
a htiongcr and better nation, prepared to taKe a
hlcher stand, and do a nobler work on the plat
form of history than has ever yet been allotted
to any nation ot the earth."
Words like these con come only from the
Hps of men whose hearts are right. They
are the inspiration of the highest and
purest patriotism, unalloyed by any spirit of
conceited egotism, or any bias ot personal In
terest or prejudice. They are the utterances
of patriots, who not only have no party pre
dilections or party aims to gratify, but who
clearly perceive that tho only legitimate ob
ject ot the war waged against the Rebellion
will remain unattained until tbe Union is
entirely restored; and tba, unless the Presi
dent is properly supported now in his efforts
to that end, it must either be defeated alto
gether or postponed through an lndelmlte
period, or bitter ana injurious political con
tention in every part ot the land.
It is true, moreover, that if the Union is
once re-established on a just basis, on the
Constitutional principles on which it was
oriffinallv founded, its nower and prosperity
will be far grander in the future than ft has
ever been in the past, or could ever have been
but for the terrible struggle that has tiled its
strength, and confirmed it beyond all hope of
overt hi ow by domestic treason or lorelgn nos
tility. All truly loyal citizens everywhere
should realize this fact. Those especially
who stood by the Government daring the late
civil war should not desert it now. Opposi
tion from them to the Administration is more
dancrerous now than from those who opposed
tbe Government while the Rebellion lasted,
. 17 : ... . ... l -
Besides, there can henceforth be but one
strong and decidedly dominant party in this
country, and that party must be found always
and entirely faithful to the Constitution and
tbe Union, and conservative of both as one
and indivisible. President Johnsox has
plainly and squarely planted himself on that
platlorm. and the great mass of the people will
undoubtedly be with him. Those, therefore,
who shall attempt to fight bim and them, from
this time forward, on that high ana firm
ground, will rapidly dwindle to a miserable
minority, who will not only be vanquished in
every encounter, but incur an odium but little
less than that which attaches to those who
opposed the Government during the war.

It Is a matter of considerable Importance to gas con

kepersot hoi els anJ large boarding houses, to have
such gas burners as will admit 01 being eaahy and per
manently adjusted to suit the special requirements of
ibe locality ot each 1 because those who have not to pav
tbe bll.s feel but little or no Interest In economizing tbe
gas, and sometimes carelesnly, or thoughtlessly, turn on
twice or thrice as much as wouhi anawer their needj.
