The Dr. fully sns tained his reputation here as being OTIC the ablest Theologians of the countiy. According to Gov. Emory, of Utah, poh gamy is on the decline among the Mor mons, and he gives a peculiar reason for the decline. It is attributable neither to missionaries nor to Bibles, but to the growth among Mormon women of a taste for extravagance and dress.

The recent developments, certain parties have made conccining the action ol tlic Returning Board of Florida in the ast Presidential election, claiming that did 'wrong in giving the State to llajes instead of Tilden, created a sensation in AVnshington for a lew dajs of last week, but it did not last long even there, nor did it make, far as vve can judge from the general tone of the Press, thu slightest impression against the Adminis The War News.

LOKDOX, April from 'ieuna indicate that the pour parlers be- ween Austria and Russia, about which ittle has been said the last few dajs, are lot going on very smoothly. Evidence ot his is believed to be found in tho attacks vliich the Russian press arc indulging in ugainst Austria. The correspondent at St. Petersburg of he Political Correspondence, of Vienna, party explains this iiritation. He says.

Russia is ardent in her desire to satisfy Hie just demands of Austria, but Austria must not stick too tenaciously to points ivhich, not recognized before the treaty of San Stcfano, are now declared of such im lortancc or necessity." This correspondent explains the massing of troops in Koumnnia as necessary precaution, adding that it might hare been necessary had M. Bratiano, the Ron manian Minister-President, every wheic met with the same reception as -it Berlin. The alter allusion indicates that the Russians think that the Roumanians arc encouraged Austria to resist. Of this the Times' Vienna correspondent i a merel) shows that the Russians have erred in thinking that Austria wished to a bargain. Austria has more interest than any other countiy in picvcnting ti conflict between Russian and Roumania, and fai from inciting the Roumanians to a collision, the very reverse was done.

''Whatever Russia's motive are in occu pving Roumania, no information can do avvay with the fact itself that the princi palitj is becoming more aud more at its mercy. The grow ing suspicion that som members of the Roumania Cabinet, espcci ally M. Cogainiccn.no, Foicign Minister favor the transaction, has tended to in ciease the popular iiritation. Whether or not there is any foundation for such a BUS picion, it seems certain that the prcsen state of things is too strained to last, anc a either an undeistanding or an opei i i i i i Russia must soon ensue." Palis joiunals state that invitations the Congress to oxtminc tlie changes ncces sary in existing treaties have been semi officially communicated to the severa Powers. All, except England, have de clfucd thcii readiness to accept the invita tion Yraicscrvod.lv,.

England still insists the condition that all gicat changes in the East, such as those proposed by the treaty oi San Stcfano, shall be ticatetl as a European, and not mcrelj as a Turco-Russian question. The Join ntil de St. PcteiJiitry to-day publishes an aiticle in which, while expressing belief that the congress will soon assemble, that this alone will not constitute a guarantee of peace.

If Republican Returning Boards cheated, either in Louisiana or Florida, iu counting The Next House of Representatives.

The contest next fall will involve the question of ascendency in the next U. S. House of Representatives, and from present indications it will not be as exclusively a contest between the old parties as preceding ones have been. There is new organization in process of formation, which is called the National party, and which will probably draw to itself the green-backers, labor-reformers, communists, c. What its precise platform will be cannot as yet be foretold, but that one of its planks will be the payment of all obligations, national and local, in greenbacks, cannot, vv think, be seriously doubted, the green-backs to be issued in such amounts as to render them worthless.

A very intelligent Western man is reported to have said, "that the burden of debt, national and local, falls upon the land; it is more than farmers can carry; for much of the local indebtedness they recognize no obligation, and they intend to wipe it out" Thia wiping out to be accomplished by the issu- ance of green-backs. If the green-backs 1 that iMaed should remain as good aa the; are now, or made equal to a gold or silver dollar, of course all debts-would be honestly paid, and nobody would be cheated, but this policy certainly does not suit the simon-pure green-backer, and is not -what he wants. His great desire is cheap money and cheap money means worthless money Now, how far this financial heresy may ex tend itself, or how deep it may strike it rooU befoie the nest Congressional election takes place, remains to be seen, but that i will be strong in the Western section, anc even some other parts of our country, can not be reasonably doubted. It is a plansi ble fraud, and in the present hard times is likely to have many advocates. But after all, we think that the principa contest throughout the country will be confined to the two old parties, who will probably control two-thirds or tlirce- fourtbs of the Congressional districts.

In view ot the bad record -which the Democratic party has made during its ascend- ency in the popular branch of our National Legislature, it ought not to be as strong as it has been. It ought to lose control of that branch by a very decisive majority, and this it will certainly do, if the go into the contests harmoniously and solidly. The importance of thus uniting the strength of our party is beginning to be fully recognized and appreciated. trail, our party hat hud its bad men in Mtftt nnd has its ains to answer tut, but have been patriotic jkft'i iu wound, and it is now, as criiua ol the war, the to which to tic the ut country. Therefore -'SPAPLRJ tho votes, Democratic did worse at the polling precincts.

We maintain that a fair election, in which every colored man could liavc bad the right to vote his tiue sentiments, without coercion, intimidation and personal violence, would have resulted in giving the electoral votes of both States to Hayes by overwhelming majorities; and the great body of the people, believing that fraud and violence did thus destroy tlie fairness of those elections, were more than gratified--they were overjoyed--when the Electoral Commission set- led the Presidential election peaceably nd in accordance with lavv.

An agreement seems assured in regard to the time i i i the withdrawal of the Russian army and Biitish fleet to Adrianople and Besik.v Bay respectively.

The English Cabinet, however, is raising other difficulties in connection with the passage of the Dardanelles and submission oi the cntiie treaty of San btcfano to the Congress.

These List earnestly debated, but Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, insisted upon their adoption as the only way of breaking up an oppressive monopoly that now contiols the navigation of preparations, it says: "They may be mere precautions, but there is not one of them which does not mark our progress to a state of war. They are so understood abroad, and everyone of them increases the difficulty of maintaining peace. It is exceedingly doubtful whether the full import of some of these so-called precautions is jet The most important of nil--the dcspach of na- i tioopsfiom India--lias been passed over with cry little remark, although the measure maiks a revolution in oui Indian military policy.

Of its cft'ecl on India there will be only too many occasions of speaking. Tlic Indian Government was wise to gag the vernacular press befoie calling the natives of India to tbc aid of a nation which holds their country by right of conquest. That is a subject on which a free native press would certainly have had much to say. Just now, however, we are concerned to know where these troops are about to be put. The native troops are preparing to come, but where they will be landed is a Ministerial secret At Calcutta it is given out that their destination is Malta, and it may be but if so, where aie the troops going which are already in that garrison 1 We may take it for certain that the Indian troops will not be landed in Malta is full, and the only inference which can be drawn is that in the plan of the Government, by the time the Indian regiments arrive a destination ut present unknown will have been found either for them or for the corps they will displace.

It is quite as likely that these troops will be landed at some Turkish port as that pect of speedy Fellvw The County's Five t'rr Cent.

It was stated during the debate that some twenty-nine millions ol origi-! nal Northern Pacific bonds were sold and that twentj-scvcn millions of them have been exchanged for preferred stock at their face value, with an additional forty per cent, to pay the interest iu advance for live years at eight per cent.

The bill passed without a division, and although there were many amendments they were all understood to acceptable to the railroad company. It is conceded Lhat it ill pass the House. Details of the Indian raid into Texas report that two white boys named Taylor liavc been carried off. The jaiders arc pursued by a force of Mexican soldiers and volunteers five hundred strong, but as their plunder consists of three hundred horses, can hardly be overtaken before they reach the mountains. This raid is said to have been prompted by the Lcrdoists in Mexico in order to occasion a difficulty between the United States and the Diaz Government.

The latest news from St. Petersburg is that England and Russia have agreed that a direct exchange of views should precede the Congress. Austria, Germany and Italy also favor this course, and have invited England to state her view s. The London newspapers of the same date take a discouraging view ol the course of the political negotiations. They claim to see in Austria's changing attitude a desire to wait in hopeful silence to see what she may profit in the calamities and weaknesses of the combatants.

The St. Petersburg Correspondent of the Daily News telegraphs as is evident that the present unsatis- lactory state of things between Russia and England 5s due more to feelings of mistrust and jealousy than to any other cause.
