The Legislature ought to do somethitig to secure equal taxation, Jat
the coming session. Men ought’ to
to he,compelled to pay. on. their assets-and not’ upon their debts;’ The
signed . mortgage exemption law ought to be
repealed and property _ mortgaged
ought to be exempted ‘to the’ extent
of the debt. The only true rule for'
taxation is to compel every man to .
pay on what he is actually worth af‘ter deddiéting his debts. ‘Then property would only be taxed once. The
‘house worth $10,000, which is mort.
gaged for $5,000 ought to be tared
for half its value.to the owners and
tpt her half to the man who holds

taken by the Committee on Southern
Outrages, of which Senator Scott is
Chairman, including the evidence
before the sub-committee -which visited South Carolina, is’ now in the
hands of the Chairman, who ris preparing # dateful digést for the epecial
report. Tt will trace the histery “of
the Kuklux organization fromedts formation in Giles county, /Zennessee,
in 1866, through its ramifications in
the Southern States. It is the opin:
ion among officials here that the’Ku
klux are disbanding in North and
South Carolina, and-that before the
close of the year the spirit of disintegration will pervade; Georgia, Alabama and Missigsippi. The Congressional Act passed at. the last session for the suppression of the Kuklux outrages is regarded as comconferred has been at Raleigh, and it
remains for the judiciaty to decide
whether the Act_is. unconstitutional
or not. The reportof the Committee
will not’ be sabaiitted ‘to’ ‘Congress
until after the holidays. It is Mind
ble that ‘somé ‘recommenidation will
be made on the subject’ of “general

place particular stress upon the extravagant taxation ‘and bardeysome
legislation imposed upon. the people
of the reconstructed States.

THe Moawon. Cases, —Some journals:which have ‘engaged'in a quasi
defense of Mormonism, have asked
indignantly why Hawkins, lately convieted in Utah, was not indicted for
bigamy under the Act of Congress of
1863, insteadof adultery under the
act of the Territorial Legislature of
Utah of.:1854.: The explanation is
given by the Salt.Lake Tribune as
follows: ‘In a prosecution for biga‘ny two thatringés; on’ lawful and
the other unlawful, must. be :proved;
and the lawful wife cannot be ‘a witness against’ her hiéband! °'A large
portion of the:adult: people of Utah
were ‘first martied in the. far distant
countries, and the proof, without the
sniggd of the wife, is not accessisecret careneny. and it is ea to
be almost if not quite impossible to
extort it from the faithful. Even

be, livinguity polygatif/"hiave denied

A San Francisco journal says: “As

you were courting her yourself. The

curious in the matter, and may eyen

way concerned in it. Showld he
blunder into that view of it you may
find it extremely difficult to set him
right. “We have reason to believe
that we are supported inthis opinion

but as Mr. Kelly is at the hospital,
