WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1871. t- tw Thr Evening Tilroraph, from its original rstaUliBiiment, has been In the receipt or telegra phic news from the New Yorit Associated Tress, which consists Of the Tribune, Timet, Hiratd, "wi, &rtn. Journal of Cavimerce, Keening 7'f, Coinyper -ial A dvertUer, and livening Kxpn-ss. The success which has atteided oar enterprise Is, In Itself, a suiiiclent evidence of the freshness, full ness, and reliability of the sews which we have received from this source. In March, 1S70, we entered Into special contract by which This Kvfniko Tki.koraph has the exrtui use of the news furnished In the afternoon by the Associated r rf s to Its own mcm)ers, the Sorth America, In ivirer, J-tSqer, Prc, Age, Record, and Herman D'm 'mt, of this city, and the leading journals of the Hast, Worth, West, and South ; and hereafter Tns Tki.k (WlFil will be the only evemna paper puMUhed in this itv In which the afternoon despatches of the Asso ciated l'ress will appear. "The earliest regular edition of the Thr Evening Tklkorath goes to press at o'clock:, and the subsequent regular editions at 2 v, 3y, and 4. Whenever there is important news of the com plications In Europe, extra editions will be issued after this hoar, and before the regular time for the early edition. KU-KLUX LEGISLATION. Binok the commencement of the present ses Bion of Congress, if we except the Sumner Soharz attacks upon the President in the matter of the Saa Domingo annexation soheme, little else has been done but to talk Ku-klnx. The speeches that have been made on this snbject have, however, failed to make that impression upon the publio mind that they should, for the good and sufficient reason that the average American voter and tax payer has begun to lose faith in the utility of farther Congressional interference in the affairs of the Southern States, and the ques tion is seriously asked whether the evils likely to result from the various anti-Kn-klux mea sures now before Congress will not be greater than those they are designed to cure. Many of the disorders which now render portions of the Southern States anything bat pleasant places of ' residence are the results of the polioy which excluded the best and most in telligent oitizens of the South the men who most oordially aocepted the results of the war from all participation in the govern mental affairs. We have earnestly supported the Congressional reconstruction policy, and think now, as we have always thought, that, under all the circumstances, it was the wisest that could have been adopted; but it was unfortunate in many respects that Con gress should have been driven by force of un foreseen circumstances to take the decided stand it did, and, with a different President than Andrew Johnson in the Executive chair during the first four years of peaoe, the pro babilities are that the state of affairs at the South would be widely different from what it is to-day. There is no use. however, in sigh ing for what might have been, and it is the duty of practical statesmen' to consider calmly and dispassionately whether at this day a forcible policy is likely to accomplish any permanently satisfactory results in encour aging a spirit of loyalty in the late Kebel States. Yesterday both houses of Congress dis cussed the Ku-klux, but without apparently arriving any nearer to a definite conclusion as to what had best be done with regard to them than they were at the beginning of the session. In the Senate Mr. Blair, who, con trary to our earnest recommendation, was not chosen King of Spain the Spanish treasury is in a rather low condition at present, and the Blair family and its collaterals was doubt less considered too heavy a load to carry demonstrated to his own satisfaction that the Ku-klux did not exist at all, or if they did exist that they were negroes and Republicans, and that their victims were harmless, un offending Democrats. In the Ilouse General Butler made a very able, and for him a very temperate speech, in which he certainly demonstrated that a very unpleasant state of affairs exists in many of the Southern States, and in which he urged in forcible and eloquent terms that it was the duty of Congress to interfere for the preservation of order and the protection of loyal men. Other Republicans, notably Mr. Garfield, took the opposite ground, and contended that Congressional interfer ence was at least nnadvisable, and that the surest, safest, and speediest way to cure the evils which now affiict the South ia to allow them to wear themselves out and to trust to time and the infiuenoe of citizens whose ma terial interests are injured to bring about as improvement. It may be pos sible for the Government to put down always subject the South to military role, and the longer the policy of repression and force Is continued the longer will the permanent paoifloatlon of the lau Rebel States be delayed. The disorders which iw exist at the South are la a great measure th result of the old Slave eyatem, aggravated by the war and by the reconstruction policy Congress found it necessary to adopt. Their cure must, in any Case, be left in a very great measure to time And to the Influences which immigration greater development of the rources of the country, and the gradual introda(Aion 0f new blood and new Ideas, will undoubted), exert. If by foroible measures Ku-kluxism oj be eradicated at onoe, root and brnoh, it might be worth while to try force; bat as a question of practical states Xna&ahip, does General Butler or any other member of either branoh of Congress really Imagine that any permanent benefits will be tltrlTvO. from eitfc r of the Ku-il tills now under discussion, in caReit is enaoted? or that if Congress undertakes to perform the funo tions of the State Governments it will not be obliged either to give up in despair or to con tinue for years to come to pursue a line of policy which a large portion of the most thoughtful men of the nation cannot heartily 1 approve? If Congress does not now inter- sere, una, rousing resolutely any longer to countenance the carpet-baggers, it passes a universal amnesty law and permits the South ern States to work out their own salvation, it will not be great while before the depreda tion of property aud of all the industries of the several States now cursed by the Ku-klux organizations will compel the law-respecting citizens in self-defense to take measures for the permanent restoration of order; and they are likely to do this bo much the sooner if they are certain that there will be no farther attempts at Congressional interference in purely domestic and State affairs. The rkcki.kss accusation of an attempt to bribe a member of Select Council which was made against the President of the Building Commissionby the an&Penn Square organ, is a fair sample of the manner in which the whole controversy with regard to the- site for the public Wildings has been conducted by the little "ring" of property-holders who' are attempting to defeat the wishes of a vast ma jority of the people of this city and to nullify the positive decision of last October. Seteot Council appointed a committee to investigate the matter, but those who made the accusa tion refused to attend, while repeating their slanders. A committee of the Building Com mission also undertook to find out the truth of the matter, and the report submitted by them yesterday, which1 will be found on our third page,, shows how they succeeded. The disgraceful charge made against Mr. Rice had no other foundation than that somebody told one of the editors of an- anti-Penn Square organ' that somebody told him that a "very reliable" person had said that an individual had been' approached, etc., all of whioh cannot be con sidered as compromising Mr. Rioe to any great extent, especially as his integrity has never before been impeached. The total failure to sustain the accusation brought against the President of the Building Com mission ought to have the effect of bring ing the entire anti-Penn Square "ring" into such discredit that they will not be entitled to a respectful hearing in the future, and it will demonstrate conclusively to the Legisla ture the true character of the opposition to the commission which is now working at liar risburg with the idea that if the commission is abolished the Washington Square site will have another chance. We call the attention of our readers to an editorial artiole from the Scranton Republican upon our second page, whioh Bets forth very Clearly the Teal reasons for th non-iMamp. tionof work in the mining regions. The Reading Railroad proposed suoh a compro mise as would have been acoepted by the W. B. A. if its leaders were fair-minded men, anxious only for justice to themselves and their followers. The rulers of the W. B. A., however, are true imperialists, and they are determined either to rule or ruin, so that the quarrel, as it stands, appears to mean a com plete and overwhelming defeat either for the association or for their opponents, unless, indefld, thA mineru sattl th matter by de stroying the power of the men who are now destroying them. It is monstrous that the thousands of working miners should be at the mercy of three individuals who are able to dictate whether they shall labor or not, with out consulting them in the matter; and as there is a point when a hungry stomach pinches beyond endurance, it is not impossi ble, in spite of the powerful ties of trades unionism, that there may be a revolution in the ranks of the W. B. A. At all events, the President of the Reading Railroad Company Las transferred the onus of the present sus pension from his shoulders to those of Messrs. Siney, Kealy, and Parker, the would be autocrats of the coal region of Pennsyl vania. UTAH AND MOIiMOKISM. In view of the determined straggle which is now belDg waged In Utah between Brigham Young and Judge McKean, of the United States Court, as the re spective representatives of the Mormon and Gentile powers, a correct Idea of the population of the Ter ritory becomes important. The following are the precise figures in detail, according to the recent census: White males 43,861 " females 42,603 sr., 8 84 Colored males.. . . " females., 63 55 118 Iadlan males, " female:!, 1T3 44S Total population 8S,CJ5 The nativity of the population Is as follows: Native males 88,994 " females S(i,ot9 , , 66.0SS Foreign males H.P4T " females 15,615 80,52i Total population 88,005 The population of Salt Lake City Is 1 7,248, of whom S:3 are white males and 8S9T white females; 43 colored and 8 Indians, of the total, 615T are native born males and tj079 native-born females; and 8162 foreign-born males and 8848 forelgn-born females. The total number of families In the city is 84. which gives less than five persona to a family on the average, a very poor showing in favor of the general frevalence of polygamy. It will be noticed that the number of white females exceeds thatof white malei by only C04, the dlscrepa ncy being altogether among those of foreign birth, the females of whom out. number the males by CSo, while the native-born males actually exceed the females hy 78. it Is among those of foreign birth that the practice of polygamy prevails to the greatest extent, a fact generally ad mitted and strengthened by the census returns. Of the aggregate population of the Territory the white males exceed the white femalei by 8&3,' but among those of foreign birth there Is an excess of ca? females, a further corroboration of the fact that polygamy Is most prevalent among these of foreign "rth. The whole number of families In the Terrl Jr a 17,806, or a little more than n?e persous to a honied,,!. Evidently the days of polyg. ?Jn'7m!r, nomberc1.

At the State flection last year, the vote stood 10,493 Republican to er.7I Democratic a Republican majority of fit16. We believe that the Democrats are not altogether confident of carrying the State. Neither do they count on a certain majority In either brancli of the State LcgMature, which last year was Republican by 1 majority In the Senate and P in the House, the dominant party having about two thirds of the members In each branch. Three pro posed amendments to the Stste Constitution are also to be voted uwm by the people to-day, one of which aSollshea tfre property qualification1 for voters, whtcS, according to the Democratic organs, Is all that has- kept the Plate from rushing Into the arms of the Democracy. The other proposed amend ments declare ttiat no registry tax shall hereafter be as-tessed or its payment raatfe nercssary as a quails" cation for voting, and thai; the State shall not con tribute to the aid or support of sectarian or denomr natlonal schools or Institutions. This Us t provision, if ratified, will worry the Derm craey when they get Into power In Rhode Island. ROYALTY'S WEImSG.

The Trenton Mate Gazette ot yesterday says: (in Saturday night last a company of young men had assembled at the beer saloon of Mr. Keller, and were having a good time generally, when a difficulty occurred between two young men named Vaukirk and John Norton. Van kirk finding Norton and bis friends too etrong, started out to go to Trout's hotel for the pur pose of getting some of bis friends. While there, Norton came in. He immediately drew bis pistol and attempted to (fire. The piece snapped. It is said if It had gone oft the contents would Lave killed Hamilton Trout, the proprietor. A wbbsky bottle on the counter was Bent at tbe head of Nortou. lie continued to shoot, and actually fired six times without striking any one at either shot. A cro vd j umped upon hira and overpowered him, and the police having arrived he was taken to Mount Holly jail. The affair was greatly exaggerated in this city during tbe whole of yesterday. At one time it was stated that Norton had killed two men. and that the assailant was Edward Norton, re cently pardoned out of the tate Prison. John Norton is a resident of Bordentown, and a bro ther to Edward. OIIITlrAllV. General Duval. This officer, who was a prominent leader of the French insurgents, and who is reported by cable this morniug to fcave been 6hot in the re capture by tbe Government troops of the re doubt at Chatlllon yesterday, was a soldier by profession, lie entered the French army in the second quarter of the present century, and was one of the first to agree to tbe overthrow of Charles X. Boon after the accession of Louis Philippe he gave evidence of hold.ng republican sentiments, and immediately after the overthrow of the "Citizen King" gave in his adhesion to the republic. He opposed tbe Presidency of Louis Napoleon, bat retained his position in the army until after tbe covp d'etat, when he sent ia his resignation. From that time uutil the over throw of the empire in September last he re mained in private life, taklug no part in politics, but recognized as au unswerving republican. After the Sd of September he again took up arms, was commissioned a general, and served during the siege of Paris. He seems to have been one of tbe leaders of the Montmartre insur gents from the start. NOTICES.
