On motion of Trumbull, the Senate took up the bill to relieve from impor-tunity and preserve the independence of tueseveral departnientsof thaUovem-meu- t. He explained that the judiciary co'mmittee had amended the bill as nrst introduced, by prohibiting recommend-ations altogether. Pomeroy, Schurz aud Howard thought this too sweeping; aud that for the present they must rely upon some body in making the appoint-ments. Membersof Congress were per-haps best fitted to act as advisers.

The cus-tomary resolutions of condolence were adopted, when the Senate adjourned. HOIME. Important PotiI ;HI1IDeith of Autiounred. tc. A number of bills were introduced, among which were the following: One to allow drawbacks upon duties paid on ship building material; one abolishing the franking privilege; one to promote the circulation of weekly news-pape- rs within the counties where they are published and to allow the free transmission of all periodicals sent from the oiice of publication to actual ub9- - t ut if this bill passes they will be their e.j jids in that respect too. We are sat-i-li- td that the result will be exactly op-pn-- ite to what our enemies anticipate. Oa 'he plural marriage question we are as flrci'y convinced as we are of our own existence that were its. continuance or a'.olition put to the vote of the female portion of our population to-d- it would be sustained by a nine-tenth- s majority; and upon this score, which has enlisted the mock - lup.'t'hy of so many, no disad-vau'air- e to Zion'ii cause will ensue. In eve-- other it cannot but result also iu good. We have many friends around whose constant eli'ort is to out-vo- te the "Mormons" at their municipal elections so that the discordant elements so over-whelming! y developed in municipa rule everywhere but in Ziou might be intro-duced here. Many of our cotemporaries boast that this consummation will soon be brought about now that direct rail communication exists Letween the cit-ies of Utah and the Fast and West. We do not anticipate such a result; nevertheless the hopes of our enemies iu this respect may be realized. We do not believe, however, that the existence of our most cherished institutions de-pends on such a frail tenure as the posse sion of power by the female mem-bers of the Church to vote them down. 1 ' such be the case, we believe the ladies should have the power to exercise their agency, hence we desire to see the mat-ter tested; and we hope that the bill passed by the House of Representatives of the Territorial Legislature, on Satur-day, will be passed by the Council, be-lieving that the result will be an addi-tional proof to the world, that even with this power in their hands the la-dies t.f Utah will remain true to their integrity, and then, as now, will sus-tain the priesthood, whether acting in a religious or civil capacity, in promot-ing the cause of Zion and the behests of Heaven. ii:fii.r miikk;e i. mil.

Tins id of female suffrage is regarded by many as peculiar to and having originated in these last daysjbut history tells us that a similar movement existed in ancient (Jreec.e w'ipii that nation was in the meridian of her splendor. If the right of suffrage was granted to the ladies then it'ceitainly did not bring about the reforms considered necessary to preservo that nation from decadence, and whether it would in this is extrem-l- y doubtful. However, that is no reason that it should be withheld. We are a decided advocate of the riphts of women rs well as of men, and believe that the two aro so intimately related that they cannot be enjoyed, to the fullest extent, compatible with happiness and well-bein- g, by either sex while the other labors under disability, however lim-ited. Universal white malesuilrage has been more thoroughly tested iu this country than in any other;but yeuality abounds, and thous-tud- of votes aro sold to the highest bidders, hence the results of the system are not so satisfactory as could be wished. Female suffrage might have a tendency to promote purity of elections, aud its introduction at the ballot box he attended with results as satisfactory ' asthe amalgamation of certain races iu i the growth and development of power- - fu! . We believe it would, ' and wo Ua tiiiuk it probable tiiat the power this would place in the hands of women would be used for the benefit of their sex, and woul l be followed iu time by legislation of such a character 94 as would tend more to diminish prosti . ?J tutlon and the various social evils which overwhelm society than auy- - thing hitherto devised under universal jj male suffrage. Tiio degraded condition of the wo- - men in this Territory is a very fruitful theme am ng our friend outside; in Vi this respect ,n well as in many others .'V.', they seem unmindfu' of, or callous t3, the real evils around them-e!ve- s, but very aii seu-i'.i- ve ti ini ternary one at a dis- - f..,1, tance.

Editor Ucs'.ret AVtt'jt.-- Dear Sir.- - On the 2Sth of AuRustla.st, Mr, N. II. Car-lo-w came into our rettlemeut as Afles-sor of Lincoln county, Nevrda He re-quired a list of our taxable property for assessment in that county, lie Htateed, as a reason for his demand, that a United States commission es-tablishing the boundary line between Utah and Nevada would be through here in a few nays, and that reports had reached him that there was but little doubt of our being iu Nevada. Furth-ermore, tthat the time allowed by the law of Nevada, for the assessment of taxes had nearly expired, and pernaps it might considerable trou-- i ble and expense to make the a.ssejsmeut then. Said Carlow, did not claim that the assessment was legal, uuless the adjust-ment of the boundary line should estab-lish the fact that we were citizens of Nevada. The citizens of Hagle and Spring Val-le- p did not eee the necessity of this pre-mature assessment in the light Mr. Car-lo- w did. They placed in his hands a written protest against his proceedings, of which a copy was retained. This protest stated inlj substance that we were still citizens of Utah Ten i lory; and should continue to consider our-selves as such, unlil the boundary line between Utah and Nevada was est by proper authority, when, if we were set oil' to Nevada, ss law abiding citizens, we should pay our taxes to that State, and, further, that at present we did not recog-nize the light of the State of Nevada or any portion of it to assume jurisdic-tion over us. This protest Mr. Carlow agreed to tile, with his returns, to the pruper authorities of Lincoln county. Sometime previous to the appearance of Mr. Carlow, we had been aseesped, as usual, by the as.-ess-or of Iron county, with the expectat ten, on his part of tak-ing no farther action in the matter un-til the boundary line was established. The supposed commission for defin-ing the boundary line between Utah and Nevada, proved to be Lt. Wheelr's exploring party, and we supposed the subject would be allowed to reat until we were properly notified as to our fu-ture condition. In October following, notices requir-ing the payment of taxes, dated lUIto, Oct., lMh.lS'jy, aud signed, Peter Good-fello-county treasurer, and addressed to the tax payers of Lineolu county, were sent to our settlements to be posted. On the 2dth inst, a Mr. Kit ter, claim-ing to be sherriM" ot Lincoln Co, ap-peared in our settlements, and served writs on the tax payers of Kai;Ie and Spring valleys wherein they are required to appear, in the Justice's court, town-ship of Hiko Lincoln Co., on the 2Si.li of Feu. 1STU, lo answer complaint of the State of Nevada, wherein it sues for the recovery of delinquent taxes forlSmi, with ten per cent interest tuerton for delinquency. Mr.'Kitter acknowledged that he failed to comprehend the legality of this proceeding, but stated thatlie was only carrying out the instructions of those under whose orders he was re-quired to act. He was fully advised that It would not be wisdom to attempt to enforce the collection of uch taxes, until we became citizens of Neva-la- when there would be no necessity of doing so, as wo were a law abiding people. This is a short and simple sta'ement of the facts in these novel proceedings. They speak for themselves. Kespectfully, Your brother in the Gospel. Jamks A. Little. giat: At E.T.
