VOLUME 26. ELEVATORS. WATER BALANCE Elevatoxf. ‘We are prepared to demonstrate to0 any one. that our Elevators are SAFER than any othor. That they run FASTER and very much MORE STEADILY and more qui- etly than any other. That they are simple in construction, and there is very little machinery to get out of order and necd ropairs, and that they can be operated at very much less expense than any other, even if the water is pumped by stenm. If connected with an artesian well the costof operation is NOTHING, as the saving in insurancoe and wa- tor tax pays the interest on the cost'of the.well. .'We cannot afford to'glve away but we cun prove to any one that ourlevator is better in EVERY RESPECT than any other, and CAN BE RUN FOR NOTHING.

The report of Bonator Carpontor for tho ma~ jority on tho Louisiann queation will bo callod upsomo day next wool, but tho timo hda not yot been fixad. Sonators Morton and Carpenter were in conaultation on the subject to-day, The roport of the formor, in which the case of the Kollogg Government is sustained, although it wasnot concurred in by any momberof the, Committes, is known to be a reflection of the viows of tho President. Thoro ialittle probability that any ‘'voto will be reached on the Louisisna trouble, ns it is confossedly ono of the moat serious that lna yot arison, and it will occasion much debato. If no voto is reached, tho Kollogg Government will remain, which will bo sntisfactory to tho Ad- ministration and Mr. Morton. The lattor ex- preages the beliof that if a voto can be reached it will be unfavorable to his side of tho question. THE UTAI QUESTION, The iden is suggosted of passing a law provid~ ing for tho appointment by tho President of n Commission to bs composcd of three or five gon- mon of learning snd prominonce, who are not notuslly engaged in_tho political discussions of ho day, to su to Utah during the rocces of Congress and make & thorough invostigation of the wholo Mormon question, and report their conclusions to tho noxt Congress. It is pro- posed that tho Commission shall not confino their inquirios to Balt Lake City, but shsll visit all parts of the Torritory of Utah, and roport upon its lawe, tho resourcos of the peoplo, their industry, their cducational advantages and romises, and all mattors necossary to onnble %ongmns to form an unprejudiced viow of this at problom. Benator Morton has expressed mself in favor of such a Commission, a8 woll a8 other prominont mon, and 1t is undorstood to bo eatisfactory to the Mormona. REFRINTI NG OF DANK XOTES, 1t is expooted that tho_proposition introduced into the House by Mr. Monrce, to rc-ongrave sad roprint the National Bank notes upon im- roved paper, a8 it cannot bo taken up in the ouso, will bo attachod to the Bonato Bundry Civil ApJ:roprmlon bill, with en appropriation of £600,000 for tho mext fiacal year, to be paid out of the surplus money in tho Treasury, already collected from the banks undor tho pres- ent toX law.
