Mr. DAWES inquired what had bocome of the Committco on LRevision aud Uniluishod Basi- uess. Mr. BECK sugpested that this biundoer was made by the Judiciary Committes, which had re- ported bills for civil rights, women's righta, and all ouch nonsonse, He thought thet that Com- mittos hiad botter bo abolishod. Cowming back to the Utah bill, Mr. POLAND briefly explained and advoontod its provinions, Mr., OROUNSE opposed it as establishing & dangerous pracedent.

It they could got control of tha ‘Lerritory, thiey would flud an oxcellent fiold for plunder, exeol- {ont opportunitios for Issuityy boude, aad for in- volving the Worritory inoxtricably in dobt. That hnd been the aim of thees men for years, Mr. CESSNA cxpluined tho dilferouce between his amondraent and tho provisions in ths bill. ‘The Intter, o aid, made unjust discriminations in favor of the Mormons. If polygamy was goud for them, it was equally good for all. Mr, WARD (Illinois) defendsd tho bill, and declared that it was more liberal to the Territory of Utah thon the law wnain regard to othor Lorritories nud States, He vonld not stop the ractico of polygamy in the namaof roligion, z ut he would atop it in tho name of justico, aud oy, Alr, POLAXD closed tho debnte, and declarod as an undoniablo fact, that tho Mormons were ay hostile to tho Government as any portion of the cople of the South had beenin the darkest hour of the Rebolliou.

' Now it is officially assertod that President Wat-' son will retire at tho election in July. When Presidont Waton wont to England to negotiato , tho §40,000,000 loan which ho snid Erie needed to place itin o condition to compete with its two groat rivals, ho stood fairly in tho esti mation of tho principal managers of the lino. ‘Tho troubles in London with Bischoffsheim & McHenrs, havo beon such that, whenit was sug- gestod tbat Prosidont Watson shuuld retire at the next oloction, tho suggestion was nob ops posed, sinco this bocame a mattor of policy.

The Vandarbilte, who were the firat clioice for the Presidency, rofused it, and Col. Thomns A. Bceott, to whom it was offered, declined it. ‘Tho porson mostrocently approached was Hugh 3.
