EBS ere ep omens. ena Sea th tale _ EVENING STAR. W. BD. WALLACH, Editer ana Preprietor. WASHINGTON CIty: SATURDAY, THE MORMONS. Late events in Utah demonstrate that affairs are rapidly approaching a crius there, and it Will no doubt be necessary for the Govern- , ment to interpose a strong hand for the main- tenance of law and order. Polygamy of itself is unlawfv! and irreligious—a foul blot upon the age, and inconsonant with Christian civili- zation. The toleration extended to its advocates and yotaries so long as they dia not array themselves against the Caristian world, be- comes not only a weakness but a crime, when ‘assassination is encouraged in defense of their peculiar institution. Numbers of Gentiles, as the Mormons style | all who do not adopt their faith, have re- cently settied in U tab, and the rupture between | the parties is daily widening. A few weeks since Mr. S. N. Brassfield, one of these Gentiles, residing »t Salt Lake City, was married toa lady there, claimed as the wife—in polygamy— of a Mormon now absent on a mission. Charges of resisting the police on the night of his mar- riage were instituted against him, and his ‘wedding night was passed in one of the cells of the city prison. The lady fearing that ef- forts would be made to take her children | from her, caused a writ of habeas corpus | L ATHS! LATHs!] LATHS 11) 4 Court, in erder to ascertain whether she | Was entitled to the custody of them or not. | Brassfield, who is said to have been a good, | to be issued from the United States peaceable citizet, was returning from the | court room where the case was being tried, on | Monday, April 2, and when within a few steps of the hotel where he resided, and in | company of the United States Marshal, was shot im the back, and within one hour from the | time he left the court house he was a dead | man. The Utah Fidette, publish’ d in Salt Lake | City, says it was the publicly expressed opinion of certain Mormons in that city that Brasstield Was justly punished by death, and that the balance of the Gentiles would be served in the same way if they were not careful, and adds :-— “It would be useless to deny the fact that in the opinion of the Gentile community of this city the killing of Mr. Brassfield was a delib- erately pianned scheme, concocted and advised by men high in authority in the Mormon Church.” A later number says:—«The feeling is universal among the Gentiles of this city that there is no protection in Mormon ceurts, and no security from Mormon assassins: and in the same article it is asserted that both Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball are living with women taken from their lawful (Morman) husbands, without the consent of said husbands. The Mormons, it seems, are counting largely on the mustering out of the United States troops, to restore their old im- munity, and the Gentiles seem determined to resist them to the death. Lawlessness and disorganization will ensue, we fear, unless the Government undertakes the task of “recon- struction,” seemingly as mecessary im that Temote section as in places nearer home. INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue yes. terday rendered an important decision upon deductions from income. He decides that all expenses for insurance upon property and all actual losses in business mst’ be deducted from the gross income of the year; but losses sus- tained attey December 31, 1565, cannot reduce the income for the year. Losses incurred in the prosecution of one kind of business may be deducted from gains in another, but not from those portions of income derived from fixed in- vestments, sach as bonds, mortgazes, rents, and the like. He imstructs assessors to be careful not to allow the deduction of amounts claimed tohave been lost in business, when in teality they should be regarded as invest- ments or expenditures, as when merchants expend money in farming or gardening for recreation or adornment rather than pecuniary profit. << —______ BANCROFT 8S ORATION. Thirty thousand copies ot Bancrott’s oration have been ordered by Congress, and are now being printed at the Government Printing Of- fice. The frontispiece is a steel engraving of Abraham Lincoln in an oval medallion, sur- rounded by rich ornamental designs, and was executed at the Currency Bureau of the Treas- ury. The work will be ready for delivery in ten days. ee Tue Tuner HUNDRED FENIANS at Eastport Jast week, have all left, discouraged at the loss of their cause at a point where success was ex- pected. In retiring, most reluctantly, the rank and file took the advice of their leaders. A dis- patch from Eastport, April 26, says:—“ Hun- dreds of fine young fellows left their homes, threw up their situations, gave up everything, to join, heart and soul, in this movement, ar it was truly a melancholy sight to see the.a deaye by the boat to-day. The majority are utterly ruined, not knowing where to go after they arrived at their destination, the funds not being sufficient todo more than to pay their passage back again. They cried bitterly like children on leaving.” New Patents.—Hon. T. C. Theaker, Com- missioner of Patents, will issue for the week ending May Sth one hundred and eighty-eight mew patents. o Tue CHoLera.—The gratifying announce- ment is officially made this morning, by the re- ports ot Drs. Swinburne and Bissell, that the ravages of the cholera have ceased, that there are no new cases in the hospital ship, and but two deaths occurred yesterday. In view of the fact that no cases have occurred on board the England since her departure from Halifax, Where she was Seroneny disenfected and cleansed, and none on the Virginia since her S8rrival here and the transfer of her passengers to the Falcon, she t¢o having been disenfected, Dr. Swinburne asks when the vessels may be Tmitted to discharge their cargo. It is evi- emt that he considers it safe to permit the dis- charge at once, and after investigation the Commissioners of Health may concur in this opinion.—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, 27th. Sate or Lanp.—Mrs. Anna H. Hahn has sold 105% acres of land adjoining the village of Forrestville, in this county, for the sum of 35,000.

The following order forthe discontinuance of the commands known as the “ Defences of Washington” and “ Garrison of Washington” was issued yesterday by Maj. Gen. U. C. Au- gur, commanding department:—“In conse. quence of the dismantling of the forts, and re- duction of the troeps in this department, the eommands known as the + Defences of Wash- ington’ and ‘Garrison of Washington’ will be discontinued on and after the 30th inst. The records will be carefully boxed and labeled and torwarded to these headqnarters. All company officers serving at the headquarters of the respective commands will rejoin their proper compani Acting Assistant Surgeon R. H. Towler,U.S. A.,(Headquarters Defences of Washington,) will report for orders to the Medical Director of the Department. The bar- racks in and about Washington will hereafter be known as follows: Those ocenpied by the Sth U. S. cavalry as “Sedgwick Barracks:” those occupied by the 12th U.S. infantry as “Russell Barracks; those occupied by the $th U. S. artillery as “Reynolds Barracks: and those at the Circle as “Lowell Barracks.” They will be known as independent posts, and on and after the 30th instant will render their reports direct to these Headquarters. Forts Foote and Whipple, and Battery Rodzers, on the discontinuance of the Defences ot Wash- ington, will report direct to these Headquar- ters.” ONE EFFECT OF THE BLOCKADE A distinguished Admiral of the the United States navy, in recommending the pardon of an eminent cotton merchant of Louisiana, says:—Financial writers now eandidly ad- mit that the stringency of the blockade. for which the navy is now receiving merited credit, kept cotton in this country to the mag- nificent amount of tour hundred millions of dollars in greenbacks, er three hundred mil- lions in gold, which since the closing of the re- beliion has come to the relief of the national credit, the national currency and the tax payers from one erd of the Union to the other.” BOUNTY. Orders have been received at the Treasury to pay the bounty recently awarded the officers and men of the United States steamers Benton, Cairo, Carondelet, St. Louis, Louisville, Mon- arch and (Lueen of the West, for the destruction of the rebel fleet on the Mississippi, on the 7th of June, 1862, and which resulied in the cap- ture of the City of Memphis. The above named vessels were under command of Rear Admiral Chas. H. Dayis, U.S. N., whose ad- vent to the sqnadron was brilliantly signalized by this short but decisive victory. Payment of the above will commence in about three weeks, NEW NATIONAL CEMETERY. A national cemetery has been commenced at Winchester, Virginia, under the direction of ol. J. M. Moore, A. (2. M., which is intended to ceniain the remains of the United States soldiers buried in that portion of the Shenan- doah Valley. It is situated near the rains of the old (Juaker Church, in the western portion of the town, and contains abont an acre and a half. About four hundred bodies of Federal soldiers were already interred on the spot previons to its selection, and over a hundred have been buried there since. Seine asta IN LABOR, The Reconstruction Committee is having a protracted session to-day, and the quid nuncs About the Capitol are in a great fever to ascer- tain results. The report brought away from the key-hole by an indefatigable «black cat” to the effect that the introduction of the New York platform had produced an explosion, and that Thad Stevens was storming about the room kicking recusant radicals into the traces right and left, is not generally credited. EE aaa Ty NEGRO SUFFRAGE. The Senate Committee on the District of Co- lumbia have, it is stated, agreed to report a bill for qualified colored suffrage in the District, giving the right to persons of property, of ed- ucation, and those who have served in the army and navy. THE NEW YORK DELEGATION’S RECON- STRUCTION PLAN. The plan for reconstruction, said tohave been adopted by the New York Congressional dele- gation, and which itis stated they intend to submit tothe Reconstruction Committee, as that most aceeptable to them, embodies a Constitutional Amendment basing representa- tion upon population, and providing that when- ever any State denies suffrage to any class of “itizens of the United States for any reason ex- cept for participation in the rebellion, such disfranchised class or portion shail be deduct- ed trom the basis of representation; also a Con- stitutional Amendment prohibiting the pay- ment of the rebel debt, and providing that there shall never be compensation for emancipated slives. As & part of the plan of restoration it is proposed that whenever these amend- ments ure ratified by a suflicient number of States to make them a part of the Constitu- tion, then each of the rebellious States shall be entitled to the admission of its Repre- sentatives, on their taking the required oath of office. The following classes of persons to be forever debarred from holding office under the United States Government: The President and Vice President, heads of departments, mem- bers of Congress and Judges of the Supreme Court of the Confederate States; their repre- sentatives at foreign Courts; all persoas who left official positions under the United States Government to aid in the rebellion; all who served mm the rebel army above the rank of Colonel, or in the navy above the rank of Mas- ter, und all persons guilty of treating our pris- oners contrary to the rules ot war, The question of negro sulfrage was received with very little favorsas was stated by us on Thursday. TRE SALE TO THE RAILROAD COMPANY. Editor Star:—l was surprised to see by Thursday’s Congressional proceedings that the Cemmissioner of Public Buildings rec- ommends to Congress the sale to the Wash- ington and Alexandria Railroad Company of the Government reservation between Sixth street and the Washington canal, and in doing so, aesignates it as a worthless piece of pub- lic property.” Without pausing to remark upon the questionable propriety of a Govern- ment officer depreciating the value of public property, 1 wish to say that the Commissioner UPR not been well-advised as to the value of said property. It hes but one square south of Pennsylvania avenue and contiguous to the business part of the city. Moreover, as it seems & fixed fact that the canal is now to be improved and made serviceable, it is certain that this locality would be a main Janding lace for produce brought down the canal. his “ worthless” land would, under the ham- mer, sell for $100,006, as any business man will tell the commissioner. There are many im- | pase reasons why this privilege should not granted toa railroad company to mar the grand plan of the public grounas extending trom the Capitol to the river, but 1 Propose to- day only to trespass on your columns to the extent of calling attention to the value of this property and the desirability that members of Congress should be 80 as not to give it away for a song. — Crrizen. xa. os ee TREASURY DISBURSEMENTS. ‘The disbursements of the ‘Treasury on ac- count on account of the following departments for the week ending to-day were :—War De- ent, $1,223, t. $750,299. a Ber Anterior Departmeat, Est total, $2, INTERNAL RevENOK.—The receipts from this eource to-day were $873,905.44, making a otal for the week ending to-day of $3,915,35 3.63.
