An old school German journal, the Ostsee-Zettung says:—‘‘The discovery of a Nihilistic conspiracy in Russia cannot fail to cause a strong reaction —— the national democracy represented by tkow, and to weaken its influence, at least in eee circles. Voices are already heard in ‘he conservative party, which dwell on the close resemblan between national democracy and Nihbilism, and declare that the latter is born and bred of the former.

SP ami irene a W AxHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1873, ‘The Senate has devoted to-day to the discussion of & bu! designed to overthrow the Mormon reli- mo4s and diyilrule in Utah. Chapisin Newman, who ha* been véry active in this crusade, was on tue door ox the Senate All day, going from Senator to Senator to orompt remarks; while Delegate Hooper, of Utah, was equally active in endeavor- ing to mollify action, and procuring a toning down Of those sections calculated to oppress the Saints, At the expiration of the morning hour Mr. Ep- MUNDs, of Vermont, called up the bill to aid in THR BXECUTION OF THE LAWS IN UTAH. Mr. FReLinauuyssn, (rep.) of N. Y., explained the bill, Mr. THURMAN, (dem,) of Ohio, moved to recom- mit the bill to the Judiciary, with instructions to provide for the election by the Legislature or by the qualified electors of Utah of three jury commissioners, who shall act in conjunction with the Judge, Marshal and Clerk, with equal power in selecting the persons from whom juries are to be constituted, and to provide for writs of error to the Supreme Court of the United States in criminal cases where the punishment is capital, or imprisonment for six months, or a fine of $1,000, Mr; Morton, (rep.) of Ind., said that while every ona, of course, disapproved of poly- gamy, it might be well to inquire how jar the United States government was itself responsible for the institution in Utah. In 1851 the Territorial Legislature had passed an act in effect sanctioning polygamy. That'act had hever been annulled by Congress, except conatruc- tively by the act of 1862 and. by the organic act creating the Territorial government, ll acts of the Legisiature which were uot disapproved by Congress were declared valid. There was a ques- tion, therefore, whether the effect of this had not been to legalize polygamy, Mr. TuURMAN withdrew his motion to recommit and meres his proposed provision as an amend- men On motion of Mr, FRELINGNUYSEN, (rep.) of N. J., Mr. Thurman's amendment was amended so as to provide for two commissioners instead of three, and was then agreed to, Mr. TRUMBULL, (rep.) of Ill, moved to substitute the Surveyor General of tue Territory for the Judge as an oMcer to aid in selecting persons to serve ag jurors, Agrecd to. Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, moved to strike out the section which provides that aliens living in bigamy or polygamy shall not be adinitted to citizenship. mie EpMUuNns, of Vermont, opposed the amend- nt. Mr. SHERMAN argued against this section, and algo aguinst the section limiting the amount of property that can be beld by the Mormon Church ee oT aE, lt to solemnize polygamous mar- Tages. Mr. SHERMAN’S motion to strike out was lost, ~ Mr. Nyk, (rep.) of Nev., said that laws must of course be enforced, but the best way for Congress to deal with the Mormon probiem wonid be to do as little as possible. The public sentiment sur- rounding Mormondom was the influence that would destroy it, He deprecated direct interfer- ence with the religious scruples ef the Mormons. He was himself a descendant of the Round heads, and a Presbyterian, and he was willing to concede that the Mormons held their faith with the same earnestness and zeal with which he adhered to his own, (Laughter.) At five o'clock the Senate took a recess till seven «goers SS sae vee Kvening Session. Mr. EpMUNDS offered a resolution instructing the Commiitee on the Judiciary to inquire whether THR UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, or any oaneny authorized te build a branch road to connect with that road, or any assignee of said company, will be entitled to lands or bonds for any road which the company may hereafter construct! and providing that unui the sald company shall report the executive officers of the government are Tequested to issue no bends, patents or certificates that may be claimed for roads constructed aiter this date. Agreed to. Bog ‘ai resumed the consideration of the ah bill. Mr. CRAGIN, (rep.) of N..H., offered amendments Providing that at ail clections in Utah the ballots shall be counted and the result announced imme- diately after the close of the polls, and making a tatlure to do this alelony. Agreed to. Mr. THURMAN, Of Ohio, moved to strike out the | section which provides a legal tygeda| by which | “plural? Mormon wives can get released from their husbands and receive the custody of tneir minor children and a share of their husband's property. He argued that this provision weuld tempt disreputable lawyers to stir up litigation and disturb society. Mr, FRELINGHUYSEN defended the bill. Mr. CasseRy, (dem.) of California, earnestly argued against this section as impolitic and unjust, and ur the Senate to strike it outs Mr. LOGAN, (rep.) of Minois, replied denouncing polygamy and defending the provision.
