ANTI-POLYGAMY. Mormon l*m Believed to Have Received Its Death-Blow. The gist of the anti-polygamy law is in its disestablishment of the Mormon Church, the increased stringency of the means to break up polygamy, and the abolition of female suffrage in the Terri­ tory of Utah. The first live sections apply to prosecutions for bigamy, polygamy, or unlawful cohabitation, and make the wife or husband a competent witness, but not to be compelled to testify. The sixth section annuls and disapproves all laws of the Utah Legislature wh^ch' provide that pros­ ecutions for adqlfferjp can only be comr menced on the complaint of the husband or wife. In place of this it is pro­ vided that all prosecutions for adultery may hereafter be instituted in the same way that prosecutions for other crimes are. The seventh and eighth sections ap­ ply to the powers of Court Commissioners and of the Marshal and Deputy Marshals. The ninth and tenth sections apply to the marriage ceremony. They require a certifi­ cate, properly authenticated, to be recorded in the office of tbe Probate Court. The eleventh Bection disapproves and annuls all Territorial laws recognizing the capaci­ ty,of illegitimate cbildren to inherit or be entitled to any distributive share in the estate of the father. The twelfth section disapproves and annuls Territorial laws conferring jurisdiction upon Probate Courts (with certain exceptions). The thir­ teenth section makes it the duty of the At­ torney General of the United States to intro­ duce proceedings to escheat to the United States the property of corporations ob­ tained or held in violation of section 3 of the act of Julv, 1862--the proceeds of such escheat to be applied to the use and benefit of common schools of the Territory. The fourteenth section regulates proceedings in such cases. The fifteenth section disap­ proves and annuls all laws of the Legisla­ tive Assembly creating or continuing the Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company and dissolves that corporation. The sixteenth section directs proceedings for the disposi­ tion of the property and assets of the Emi­ grating Fund Company. All such prop­ erty, in excess of debts and lawful claims, is to escheat to the United States for the benefit of common schools in the Territory. The seventeenth sec­ tion disapproves and annuls the acts of the Legislative Assembly incor­ porating or providing for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and dis­ solves that corporation, it makes it the duty of the Attorney General of the United States to institute legal proceedings to wind up the affairs of the corporation. The eighteenth section makes provisions as to the endowment of widows, who are to have one-tliird of the income of the estate as their dower. Sec. 19 gives to the President the appointment of a Probate Judge in each county. Sec. 20 makes it unlawful for any female to vote in any election, and annuls acts in the Legislative Assembly which permit female suffrage. The next four sections make provisions as to elec­ tions, and require of voters an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution and obey the laws, especially the anti-polygamy act of March 22, 1882, and this act. Sec. 25 abolishes the office of Territorial Superintendent of District Schools; makes it the duly of the Supreme Court of the Territory to appoint a Commissioner of Schools. Sec. 26 gives to all religious societies, sects, and congre­ gations the right to hold, through trustees appointed by the Probate Court, real prop­ erty for houses of worship and parsonages. The twenty-seventh and last section annulB all Territorial laws for the organization of the militia or for the creation of the Nau- voo Legion; and gives the Legislative As­ sembly of Utah power to pass laws for or­ ganizing the militia, subject to the approval of Congress. General officers of the militia are to be appointed by the Governor of tbe Territory, with the advice and consent of the Council. FISHERIES RETALIATION. P*wer Vested in the President to Cat Off Intercourse with Canada. The fisheries retaliation legislation is OOTered in a single bill, as follows: Beit enacted, etc.. That whenev&f the President of the United States shall bo satisfied that American Ushing vessels or American fishermen, visiting or being in the waters or at any ports or places of the British Dominions of North America, are then or lately have been denied or abridged in the enjoyment of any rights secured to them by treaty or law, or are then or lately have been unjustly vexed or harassed in the enjoyment of such rights or subjected to unreasonable restrictions, regulations, or requirements in respect of such rights; or, wasp the President of tta* Ignited States British Dominions of North America, are then or lately have been denied any of the privileges therein accorded to the vessels, their masters, or crews of the most favored nation, or unjustly vexed or harassed in respect of the same, then, and in either or all of such cases, it shall be lawful, and it shall be the duty of the President of the United States in his discretion, by proclam­ ation to that effect, to deny to vessels, their masters and crews, of the British Do­ minions of North America any entrance into the waters, ports, or places of or with­ in the United States (with such exception in regard to vessels in distress, stress of weather, or needing supplies as to the President shall seem proper), whether such vessels shall have come directly from said dominions on such destined voyage or by way of some port or place on such destined voyage; and also to deny entry into any port or place of the United State? of freBli fish or salt fish, or any other product of said dominions or other goods coming from said dominions to the United States.

Every violation of any such proclamation or any part thereof is hereby declared il­ legal, and all vessels and goods so coming or being within the waters, ports, or places of the United States contrary to such proc­ lamation shall be forfeited to tbe United Sta'es; and such forfeiture shall be en­ forced and proceeded upon in the same manner and with the same effect as in the case of vessels or goods whose importa­ tion, or coming to, or being in the waters or ports of the United States contrary to law may now be enforced or proceeded upon. Every person who shall violate any of the provisions of this act, or such procla­ mation of the President made in pursu­ ance hereof, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000, or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court. THE ELECTORAL COUNT. Provisions of the Act Relating to State ' Electors. The electoral count law requires that the electors of each State shall meet in their respective capitals the second Mon­ day in January following their appoint­ ment, and that if any State has provided by previously enacted laws for the final de­ termination of any controversey concerning the electors, such determination having. been made six days prior to the meeting, shall be conclusive, and shall govern the counting of the electors appointed by such State. The Executive of the State is to transmit to the Secretary of State of the United States a certificate of final ascertainment of the electors appointed, the same certificate to be delivered in triplicate to the eleotors and transmitted to the seat of government at the same time with the list of persons voted for as Presi­ dent and Vice President. If there has been a final determination in a State of any controversy or contest, it is made the duty of the Executive to communicate it to the Secretary of State of the United States, who is to transmit to both houses of Con­ gress all certificates received at the State Department in the prescribed manner. The second Wednesday in February suc­ ceeding the meeting of the electors Con­ gress is to meet in the hall of the House of Representatives to receive the certificates, the President of the Senate presiding. When the reading of the certificates from each State takes place, if there is ob­ jection to any certificate it must be stated writing and the ground thereof, and must be signed by at least one Senator and one Representative. When all the objec­ tions to the vote of a State have been re­ ceived the Senate is to withdraw and the objections be submitted to each house for its decision. No electoral vote or votes from any States which have been% regularly certified, and from which but one return has been received, shall be rejected, but the two houses concurrently may reject the vote or votes when they agree that these have not been regularly given by the elec­ tors whose appointment has been so certi­ fied. In case more than one paper or re­ turn has been received by the President of the Senate, and there arises a question which of two or more State authorities' de­ termining what electors have been appointed is the lawful tribunal of the State, the votes regularly given those electors, and those only, shall be counted whose titles as electors the two houses acting separately shall concurrently decide is supported by the decision of such State so authorized by its laws. Where there has not been the speci­ fied determination in a State, and more than one return is presented, the concur­ rent action of the two houses, acting sep­ arately, is to decide which voteB were cast by the lawful electorfe appointed in accord­ ance with the laws of the State, unless the two houses concurrently decide such votes not to be the lawful votes of the legally appointed electors. If the two houses disagree in respect to the counting of such votes, then the votes of the electors whose appointment shall have been certified by the Executive of the State shall be counted. Other provisions relate to the details of the joint meeting in which the vote is counted. PACIFIC RAILROAD INVESTIGATION. Three the cific Railway Company. The Commission ers are also authorized to consider and re­ port whether the interests of the United States require any extension of the time for performance of the obligations to the United States of said compnnies, or any of them. One hundred thousand dollars is appropriated for the purposes of the inves­ tigation. The President is authorized to redeem prior liens if such a course is deem­ ed advisable. It is further provided that the sinking funds of the Pacitic Railroad Company may be invested in the first mort­ gage bonds of the companies. The inquiry as to whether there has been a diversion of the earnings to the purchase of non-productivo branch lines is intended especially to take in the Northern Pacific Company, and i« based on the statement that, several gentlemen who artf interested in the construction oc a railroad in Mon­ tana, which is expected to be oper­ ated as a part of the Northern Pa­ cific system, have lately vi ited New York to ur^e tbe directors of the Northern Paciac to consnmmate the pur­ chase of this road without .submitting the contract to a meeting of the stockholders. If this transfer should be completed upon the terms substantially agreed upon the Montana syndicate will be able to proceed with tLe construction of several other branch roads which it has in contemplation, and which will be assumed by the Northern Pacitic upon terms not unfavorable to the projectors. The commission will deter­ mine whether the avails of the land-grant to the Northern Pacific Company have been misapplied by being charged with the pay­ ment of bonds issued or guaranteed in fa­ vor of branch lines purchased by syndi­ cates, and whether persons connected with the management of tbe Northern Pacific company are interested in these syndicates. INDIAN AFFAIRS. Allotment of Lands In Severalty tto Our bnnkjr Wards. The act to provide for the allotment of lands in severalty to the Indians authorizes the President to allot the lands on any specified reservation which is deemed ad­ vantageous for agricultural and grazing purposes in severalty to the Indians lo­ cated thereon as follows: "To each head of a family, one-quarter section; to each single person over 18 years of age, one-eighth of a section; to each orphan child under 18, one-eighth of a section; to each other single person under 18 now living, or who may be born prior to the date of the order directing the allot­ ment, one-sixteenth of a section." Where Hhere is not' enough land on a reservation to allot in the quantities above Bpecified the partitioning shall be on a pro rata basis in the above proportion. Where the lands are valuable only for grazing pur­ poses additional quantities can be set aside for each individual. Where treaty stipu­ lations or previous acts of Congress provide for allotment in greater quantities than above specified these stipulations shall be strictly observed. Special agents are to be appointed by the President to make the al­ lotments, the conditional of which are laid down. Upon the approval of the allot­ ments by the Secretary of the Interior he is to issue patents in the name of the allot- ters, which shall declare that the United States holds the land thus allotted in trust for twenty-five years, the trust to be dis­ charged free from incumbrances at the end of that period. The surplusage of lands over the allotment is to be bought IrOm the Indians by the United States and to be dis­ posed of to actual and bona fide settlers in tracts not exceeding 160 acres to any one person. The sum paid by the United States as purchase money for any reserva­ tions to be held in the Treasury for the sole use of the tribe or tribes to which the reservation belonged. At the completion of the allotments and patenting of the lands every member of the bands or tribes of In­ dians to whom the allotments have been made shall be subjecttothe laws, both civil and criminal, of the State or Territory in which they may reside. Every Indian born 'within the United States to whom allotment shall be made, or who has voluntarily taken up his residence apart from any tribe, is declared to be a citizen of the United States. The provisions of the act do not extend to the tribes in the Indian Territory. Commliisloiiera to Examine Books and Accounts. The joint resolution authorizing an in­ vestigation of the accounts of the Pacific railroads provides for the appointment of three Commissioners by the President, whose term of office Bhall not extend be­ yond the beginning of the next session of the Senate. If the Senate shall be con­ vened after March 4, 1887, and before Dec. 1, and the duties of the Commissioners shall not then be completed, the President Bhall then, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint three Com­ missioners who shall perform and com­ plete the duties prescribed in this act. It is made the duty of the commission to examine into tbe working and financial management of the railroads that have re­ ceived aid fro'm the Government in bonds, to ascertain whether they have observed all the obligations imposed upon them; and whether their books and accounts are or have been kept so as to show ths net earn­ ings of the aided roads M whether there has been a diversion of earnings of aided roads to less productive branches, or whether there has been a diversion of earn­ ings of aided roads to wrongful or im­ proper purposes; whether there ifl a dis­ crimination of rates in favor of unaided against aided roads; whether any, and if so how much, money is due and owing to the United States on account of mistaken or erroE.ous accounts, reports, or settle­ ments made by said roads; and also to in­ quire into and report as to the kind, char­ acter, and amount of the assets of said companies, and what nssets are now sub­ ject to the lien of the Government; and also whether any dividends h'xve been un­ lawfully declared by the directors or paid to the stockholders of said companies, and if so, to what extent and whether the lot be recovered; neapolis sad Manitqb* BaUrcad Company through the Indian reservktion<in Norther# . Montana and Northwestern Dakota; to thtt Fort Worth and Denver City Eailro i<t Company through Indian Territory; to th#< Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley' Railroad Company across the Fort Meado, military reservation; to the Utah Midland Railroad Company through the Uncom-i phagra and Uintah reservation in Utah; td^V: the Rocky Fork and Cooke City; Railroad v Company through the Crow Indian reser­ vation in Montana. PENSIONS. CONCERNING RAILROADS. Adjusting Land-Grant Questions -- New Bridget--Rights of Way. The act for the adjustment of railroad land-grants applies specially to Kansas, but it is a general bill not limited in its scope to any State. It applies to cases where, when (he adjustment of (he grant has been made, it shall be found, that more land has been certified or patented to the railroad company than the grant really gives. Under the provisions of the act the Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to at once adjust in accord­ ance with * the decisions of the Supreme Court each of the railroad land-grants made by Congress and heretofore unad- {'usted. If it shall appear ihat there hr%s >een erroneous certifying or patenting the Secretary of the Interior shall make de­ mand upon the company to relinquish and reconvey its title, and in the event of the company refusing to do that, then the At­ torney General is to enter proceedings to have the title reconveyed to the United States. Then, as to this excess land, where it is found after such ad­ justment that the homesteader or pre- emptor had title when the title of the company attached, the bill secures him priority of right in perfecting that, title. As to another class of lands--lands which the company has sold--the third section gives to tbe purchaser of that land his title. The bill is not a foi feiture measure, but deals only with excess lands, and the sec­ tions that follow protect the rights of the Government and the rights of the settlers and purchasers as to these excess lands-- an act forfeiting lands granted to the New Orleans, Eaton Rouge and Y'icksburg Rail­ road Company, known as the "Backbone" land forfeiture. The bill confirms the title of the New Orleans Pacific Railroad to most of ti e land, and opens a small amount to settlement. Among the acts authorizing corporations to bridge navigable waters were the follow­ ing: To the St. Louis Merchants^ Bridge Company, over the Mississippi River near St. Louis; to the St. Paul & Duluth Rail­ road Company, over the St Louis River between Minnesota and Wisconsin; to the Ohio Valley Railroad Company, over the Tradewater River; to the East Dubuque Bridse Company, over the Mississippi River; to the State of Mississippi, over Bayou Bernard; across the Potomac River at Washington, D. C.; across the Missouri River between Kansas City and Sibley, Mo.; across the Cumberland River near Davidson, Tenn.; across .East River be­ tween New York and Long Ii*and; across the Great Kanawha River below the falls; across the Missouri River between Omaha and Council Bluffs; across the Mississippi River near Winona, Minn.; across the Missouri River at Pierre, Dak.; across the Tennessee River near Mussel Shoals Ca­ nal; across the Tennessee River near Gun- tersville, Ala.; across the Mississippi River near Keokuk. Among the rights of way granted railroad1 corporations were the following: To the Maricopee & Phcrmx Railroad Company through the Gali River Indian Reserva­ tion; to the Rio Grande and El Paso Railroad Company through the Fort BUss military reservation; to the St. Pj Prevtslm* «rifw» Bill Gran tin# Mexican War Veteran*. The Mexican pension law directs the Secretary of the Interior to place on thd " pension roll the names of the surviving officers and enlisted men who actually served sixty days with the army or navy of the United States in Mexico or en route thereto, and the surviving widows of tho officers and enlisted men if they have not remarrried. Every one of the class named above who reaches the age of 62 is entitled to the benefits of the act, but no pension shall be granted a soldier in the Mex;cnn war for disability when the disability was incurred in the war of rebellion against the United States. The amount to be paid under the act is $8 per month. It is esti­ mated that the yearly disbursements w 11 be not l«ss^lian §1,500,000. - MISCELLANEOUS. Teiilsre -of - Office Repeal -- Trade Dollar, Etc. Among the most important laws enacted by Congress was that wiping the tenure-of*. office act from the statute books. The;, effect of the repeal is to take away all re-i;. strictions on the President's power of re4 movai, and no question can now nr.» whether failure of the Senate to confi: the successor of a suspended officer woul not restore the latter to hiB official func­ tions. RETIRING THE TRADE DOLLAR. The act for the redemption of the trade dollar piovides that for a period of six months after the act United States trade dollars, if not defaced, mutilated, or stamped, shall be received at the office of the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the United States in exchange for a like amount, dollar for dollar, of standard silver dollars or of subsidiary coins of the United States; also that the trade dollais received by, paid to, or deposited with the Treasurer, or any Assistant Treasurer, or National De­ positary of the United States, chali not be paid out or in any other manner issued, but at the expense of the United States slu.l be transmitted to the coinage mints and recoiu- ed into standard dollars or subsidiary coins at the discretion of the Treasury; provided, that the trade dollars rccoined under the act shall not be counted as part of the silver bullion required to be puichased and coined into standard dollars a3 required by the act of Feb. 28, 1878. AGRICULTURAL AKFAIKS. The agricultural appropriation bill hag pleuro-pneumonia legislation in it. Five hundred thousand dollars is set aside for the Bureau of Animal Industry, one hundred thousand of which is made immediately available. A proviso allows the Coirmis- sioner of Agriculture to expend as he pleases the whole of the large sum mentioned or as much thereof as he may deem expedient, and in such manner as he may think best to prevent the spread of pleuro-pneumonia. For this purpose he may employ as many persons as ho pleases, and buy and kill not only animals which are diseased, but animals which have been exposed to the same, and to quarantine animal* as lie may deem necessary. To coutinue the experi­ ments in the manufacture of sugar from sorghum and sugar-cane by what is known as the saturation process $50,000 is appro­ priated. An act to establish agricultural experiment stations to conduct original re­ searches or verify experiments on the physiology of plants and animals appropri­ ates $15,000 to each State for expenses. One-fifth of the first appropriation may be expended in the erection of suitable build­ ings. The appropriations are made sub­ ject to the legislative assent of the States and Territories. CONTRACT FEDERAL LABOR. The act prohibiting contract labor by Federal prisoners provides that it shall not be lawful for any officer, agent, or any ser­ vant of the Government of the United States to contract with any person or cor­ poration, or permit any warden, agent, or official of any State prison, penitentiary, jail, or house of correction where criminals of the United States may be incarcerated, to hire or cob tract out the labor of said criminals, or any part of them, who may hereafter be confined in any prison, jail, or other place of incarceration lor violation of any laws of the Government of the Uni­ ted States of America.

A Homely though Mixture,.*? ^ I have not for the past fivo years, found a cough among my patients, no matter what the age or what the cause, whether bronchial, laryngeal, pneu? monic, tubercular, or nervous, that did not receive more or less benefit from the free administration of a mixture prepared as follows: Nicholson's or Hofl'a malt ext.... 1 pint Wtiiukv (be^t). ..........ivs&ii;.;..*.ttfc..

Juice of six lemons. {' * Crushed su«ar Mix and boil ten minutes Kip.--From one to two teuspoonfulf* t-> one or two tableapoonfuls, according to age, * very one, two, or three houra, as may be indicated. Prepared in this manner, we ha e & most excellent expectorant cough ma­ ture for general domestic use, contain­ ing nothing to disturb digestion, no opium, no ipecac, as do most of the stereotyped cough mixtures in the bliops. The glycerine and malt ar#* both beneficial to nutrition, as well a| expectorant, and the same may be sai<fb of all the component parts of the com­ bination. The amount of the lemo: juice may be increased, according t the preference of the patient. I am free to say that in over 2 families in this city where I am t] phi , si ian this cough mixture is indi pensable. In my own family nothin else has ever been found necessary ' control, relieve, and cure the coug incident therein.--Dr. Love, in Med cal Eevkw.
