AMrw Tiesday 5fRxrxo, Feb. 18, 187'J. ONEIDA TO BE OVERHAULED There are two conspicuous Oneidus ccupying small fragments of the public domain, and .they are far apart. One is located in the mighty East, the other in the far West. The former is to be overhauled, the other has already been. The one that has received the stroke-- of demolition is an erstwhile flourishing station on the Utah and Northern railroad, of which our citizens know sufficiently tKrjustify us in dropping this branch of the subject here; the other is located in Che State of New York, and w populated by a thrifty handfull of people whose practices are at this lute day considered obnoxious to civilization, and they must stop short or go either or both, Tho principal eccentricity in- their social conduct is that they do not marry or give in - marriage, but increase-anmultiply all the same! Nobody questions their industry, honesty or thrift; their morality is the point at issue; wid the same must be mended or, Jather, replaced by a new one. As Pope's "hired man" suggested to him once when that distinguished poet made use of his favorite expression "the Lord mend me!" "ifend you, indeed! I think it would be cheaper to make a new one." So with the Oneida community. Where, wbei and under what circumstances this moral mania now pervading the land is to terminate, cannot at this writing be stated With any degree of certainty. We are positive only upon one point viz., that it is going to stop somewhere th is side of Congress. We could take an affi lavit to this, with impunity. Polygamy is to be banished, Fourierism must depart, and every shade of promiscuity in the intercourse between the sexes save and except that to high life in Washington-- be stamped out. We shouldn't be surprised if the next thing in the nature of a movement to inculcate chastity would be to prohibit those who ever were married from doing so again, death and divorce being declared inoperative for that purpose. But let us not anticipate. There is already enough on the tapU to constitute a fruitful theme for discussion. There are a few inconsistencies cropping out in this whole proceeding, and these are always subjects of criticism. In the first place the Oneida Fourierists have been engaged in their peculiar practices for many years; have built up a pleasant, town, beorderly and came wealthy, and to sonae extent influential. They have not sought to defend their indiscriminate sexual commingling by the plea of religious conviction, simply claiming that it is a superior order of social regulations, therebyjbringing themselves from the first within the legitimate operations of the law. Why should no move ment in this direction be agitated or even seriously talked of until the polygamy of the "Mormons" has been dealt a vital blow, The latter class, it must be remem bered, claimed and do claim all their -practices, plural marriage partieu articles of as their religious larly, faith, justifying themselves before the land by the Constitution of the land, In order to proceed against them a - law had to be constructed as none existed at the time of the adoption of polygamy or for several years thereafter; and to make the law ope rative the Supreme Court was com pel led to decide arbitrarily that the Constitution did not mean what it said, but what Congress and tho Supreme Court said. Religious freedom must be set aside when the morals of a moral people were shocked but all this time the Oneida people were adding nondescript offspring to the population of the country, in the heart of the most populous and con sequently most moral portion of it, providing that citizens of the United States, if mated,' must confine tfreir attentions to their companion, and, if not mated, must hold themselves aloof from the privileges pertaining to marriage. This, it soetns to us, in good logic; and by adopting some such plan, our national solons would strike a blow at all phases and branches of an assumed evil, and not confine their attack to tho.se as law whom they designate breakers because of the practice of one phase and that, even from the standpoint of Congressmen, not unlawful until themselves and tho Su preme Court unlawfully made it so. But the suggestion will not be adopt ed, because of the reason previously stated that such proceedings must stop this side of Congress. Bv all means let Oneida hove a is There shaking-up- ; thorough nothing to admire and something to fear in the wholesale promiscuity prevalent in that community. There is no necessity of argument upon the subject; the bare fact that the morals of the nation are endangered and its moral citizens are scandalized, is enough. It was contended in the argument for Reynolds before the Supreme Court that the nation has no right to regulate the morals of its subjecteibut the right would amount to nothing if it were Rot for the ugly fact that it won't do- to pass a bill en joining morality everywhere, because it wouldn't sound well to add "except in the District of Columbia," and, as we have said once or twice al ready, the movement must stop short of Congress. But the New York Legislature could act. Certainly it could. But would that body be willing to let Congress shirk so important a duty in order that they might be compromised by a bill with' a proviso excluding Albany from its operations? We fear able-bodie- d not. Let the caravan1 resume its march; it commenced with the Supreme Court decision against Reynolds, and we are anxious to see where it will end.

The United States Iron company, Youngston, manufacturers of iron cotton ties, have again resumed operation, with a full force, and will give employment to a large number of men. Engineer Samuel P. Bowles, was arrested in Cincinnati, Saturday week, for forging and rais ing Hamilton county bonds, for the construction of avenues and bridges, to the amount of $22,000. A fire in the vault of the county recorder's office in Cincinnati, on Saturday week, resulted in badly damaging 143 volumes of land records, covering transactions for forty years prior to 1320. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary, as evidences of coal oil were found on many of the books. While there is no hint of any reflection upon the integrity of Archbishop and Bishop Purcell, there is manifested among the creditors considerable impatience at the dulay to which they are subjected, and threats of suits are beginning to be heard. In the Senate, last week, bills making it a penitentiary offense to shoot or throw stones at railway trains; to authorize the incorporation of associations for reclaiming persons from intemperate or immoral lives; to repeal the objectionable features of the Soldiers' Orphans' home law of last session; to provide for taxing deeds given for money loaned on property the same as mortgages, and to compel fire insurance companies to examine and place the insurable value on all property insured by them were passed. The bill to increase the compensation of Judges of the Supreme Court to $4,000 was- defeated. A bill was introduced to make 6 per cent, the legal rate of interest and forbid a higher rate on special contract. In the Ilouse bills were introduced to establish a State board of health; to prevent Sunday amusements of all grades: to compel per sons selling medicine to designate by colored labels whether it is for inter nal or external application; providing for incorporating soldiers' union associations; compelling conveyancers to furnish abstract of title; to reorganize the Soldiers' Orphans' home; making embezzlement of funds by county treasurers punishable by from five to twenty-on- e years' imprisonment, and for sheriffs and clerks from two to ten years. In the House, the House bill to reduce the homestead exemption to $500 on real estate and $250 on personalty, was indefinitely postponed.
