It iw said that Mr. Fenton has been given to under stand that if he desires he can have any suitable friend of his appointed Collector of New York, in the place of Mr. Murrity, and that generally he can have his own way in New York appointments for all time to come. The consideration which he is required to give in return will be to support the annex ation of Sax Domingo, and to go heartily for the renomination of Grant. Of course such a revolution a# this would do much to estrange Senator ConxLina from the President ; Lut it is believed that he is already so far committed in favor of both annexation and renomination, that he cannot recede without weakening himself more than the President The reports also are that Senator Fenton has decisively rejected these overtures from the White House, If it be trae that he is oot willing in any respect to be compromised with this Administration as it is now con ducted, the fact will redoun | to his honor. —— What will Congress do with Mormon Polygomy? Mormoni yerernally efflicts the Con gress of the United States, and throws dis: credit upon the Republic in the estimation of every civilized nation in the world, For the last twenty years scarcely a session has passed withcut a controversy over this ol trusive and disagreeable subject; and its constant recurrence exhilits the difficulty experienced in dealing with it The Rey: blican party in 1857 pledged to the nation its Leet attention to two pre: eminently interesting things—" Slavery and Polygamy, twin relics of barbarism.” The first has Leen disposed of; the other still TeTaliis IntACt, and 18 every day gaining an extension of life. Indeed, al the efforts to reach it seem only to contr bute to it a greater vitality, and to give it opportunity of exhibiting still greater boldness, The time was when the Mormon apostles and elders were indignant at the charge of practising polygamy, and denied it publicly with fierce wrath, ‘They subsequently prevaricated and dodged the accusation; and then they stealthily passed from denial to tacit admis ion, and then to approval of the system, ending by fulminating damnation eceinst the reet «f mankind who reject it Slavery is abolished; reconstruction ix Bow settled and out of the way; and appa rently Congress is again to be occupied with the remaining relic of barbarism, and this time we hope will be the last, One of the dix tinguished Senators from Massachusetts o sumnes the task of leadership in this contro versy. pred ‘The great cause of failure hitherto has bec the general ignorance of Congress respecting the condition of the people of Utah. ‘To-day there should be no blundering—there need be none. The opening of that mountait country by the Pacific Kailroad has afforded the members of Congress as much facil for secing Utab as they ever had for visiting New Orleans. Many of them, from both th House and Senate, have availed themslv. of the opportunity of studying the question there during the past summer. Besides al! this, the unity that has characterized thi reign of Duiaiam Youna e and now a bold under his very eyes, is furnishing th necessnry facts and arguments with wuich his colossal power can be reached and demolished. Everything shows that the thinking, respectable portion of the people, who constitute public opinion there, are ripe and ready for any action of Congress open Will he be more successful than his esora? ie at a free press in Salt Lake that is consistent «nd just The last (iil, that of Mr, Custos, easayed too much ; and its retrospective character ox cited the alarm of the couvtry, and created for the Mormons the sympathy that retained the bill in the Senate, That experienc should be suggestive, and induce the conclu sion that this Mormon question should b: looked at soberly and with a full understand Ing of the operation and results of legis! tion, Ii it) © true, a8 is froquently asserted that very many of the Mormon people them elves are tired of their experiment in Or Jd facilitate their return to the monogamy of Christianity Branding sincere and somew)at ignorant women with prostitution, and their offspring with bostardy, is neither the way to secur their attention do ental habits, Congress bly to what Congreas would for Wem, nor the way to gain the listening ears of those whom they cal their husbands. If the adoption of th: institation of the patriarchs has secmed © many Mormons a mistake, a matter of regret, an oppression, such legislation as will afford persons of this class an honorable: @ischarge from its obligations will be hailed with gratitude ; while the slightest semblance ef persecution, or anything that can be #0 construed, will be eagerly clutched by the Jeaders, and made the rallying point by ‘hem for all the stubbornpese and pride of their own natures and of those in the same psition as themeclyes There arc seemingly some persons in Utah and in Washington endeavoring to work out fome #uch programme as we suggest, Can not Congress assist them, and use them to- ward the solution of this difficulty? Poly gamy has clearly not the sacred character wad obligation upon all the Mormons that has been claimed for it; or why is it that Mr. Hooren, the delegate from the Territory to Congress, the defender of poly. pany, is himself the husband of but one wife? During last summer another geutle- man from that Territory, ams sting the dele gate in Washington against the CuLLom Dill, was also a single-married man. It in arserted by representatives from Salt Lako that only a small proportion of the men are polygamists, and many of these are ropontant Tt seems a fitting time to grapple with the subject by the adoption of just, huimano, and effective legislation, ee wi Somebody Tell Gen. G Tratht As Lord Brovonam said of tho royal palace at Windsor, so it may be asserted of the White House at Washington, that its oc- cupant is doomed to breathe an atinoephere of untruth. Presidenta, like kings, are ever inhaling the incense of adulation, This is especially true of the former; for, with short terms of office betore them, and their hands full of patronage, few have the honesty, courage, and disinterestedness to tell them the truth, and particularly on the tender topic of their prospects for a renomination, This latter is always a delicate subject ; and if adroitly used by an unserapulous partisan, it affords a ready accers to the favor of the } ecutive, Everybody kvows that Gon. Gnanr is not only extremely solicitous for a renomination, but, listening to his flatterers, he already regards it as a foregone conclusion, ‘This, then, is the accepted time for all. who waot favors for themselves or their friends to apply at the White House, All they need do to get lucrative places and fat jobs is to laud Gnant’s San Domingo scheme, de. nounce SuMNER, Fenton, Scuunz, and other leading Republicans who dissent from his ideas, and wind up with the as. surance that bis renomination and re- election are settled beyond contingency. On the latter topic they must not be afraid of laying the flattering unction on too thick ; for he will absorb it as greedily and reward it as lavishly as did either of his de luded predecessors, TYLER, Pirrce, or Jom: 80N, who continued to heap their choicest gifts upon their constantly diminishing cir cle of culogists down to the hour when tl: stero decrees of nominating Conventions dix pelled their delusi t the and sowed them that they had all along beea the dupes of selfish: dissem blers.

Jostli g aside the thron of incense-burners that surrounds him, they sre Republicans, however, who should assure bim that his fato i# alrend sealed, and urge him, for his own sake, t withdraw from the canvass now, and ne like poor Prencr, continue the straggle till in the next oun by fh his vot a nomi ur wud a hull Will some friend of the President take him ont of the ring before he is battered out of all possibility of recognition even by the Dents?
