Measle* and the amal! pox often get a second grip. too. Jj®"* There in trouble in the Norfolk (Va.) ^Tavy Yard, growing out of the employment of two colored men whone aervice* were not needed, but who "put In their time" electioneering for the |(* , Mahone ticket, Commandant Mayo . demanded the e nforcement, of hi* orig feti Inal order directing Commander Mc- 't;i Ulenncy to employ the men, which wan k '( reflined. For thla WcGlenney was " ' ordered under arrest, and confined to bis quarters. The result will probably ^ be a court of Inquiry, as Secretary >/< ; Chandler lias shown every disposition | <( to have an bonost Investigation of matters* and to correct any abuses found to exint. li-V The re ban been much discussion astowWn the new bigb license law goes into effect. In reply to a letter from the Mayor of Bmldwood, Attor­ ney General McCartney responded as follow*: "The Harper bill, now a law. prolilh- Itn the Innuing «f a license after .Inly 1, 1883, exce.pt.for amounts therein fixed, or more, at the discretion of the muni- clpal aiithorUies granting the license. After .Inly 1. therefore, no new licenne can be Insued. itor the old one rene«#%d. without complying with the law. whether It hud been given or not for the whole niuniclpnl year. If. however. Krevloiis to July 1. 1883. a license had sen granted for the inuuicipn! year, that licenne will be good to the eiid of that year. If a payment for the license ban been made for only three or nix monthn. thnt is a license only for the time paid for. and If It ends after July 1,1883. no renewal CHII be had without complying with the terms of the Hai- 'per bill, I answer theso questions In­ formally and unofficially, and as a mat-' tfrof DMutwy nnlr." A NAfmnL oM0fstaci$. U h tHr»lo«Wr that flttF^tentlort* of law-abiding «nd pure' minded clti­ re ns for eradicating the foul uloer of polygamy maintained by the Mormons iu defiance of law and decency,seeut to have been completely nullified. The legislation of Congress has; had no re­ straining Influence, and the crime Is encouraged and even required by the officers of the church, with apparent contempt for the law of the land. The disloyal power is Intrenching Itself and expanding beyond the bounds of Utah Into adjoining territories. The Mormons are rapidly colonising Idaho, in whose last Legislature haif of the members of each House were of that church. In other Territories they al­ ready hold the balance of power, and In Colorado they are purchasing large quantities of land for their colonies. Their leading men assert that 20.000 converts will join them this year front Europe and the Southern States, thus strengthening the alien and unrepubll- can institution, each of whose 150.000 followers, as the Salt T.ako Tribtme fearlessly says, "is under the most solemn o&ilis of hostility to this coun­ try." The apathy with which the gov­ ernment tolerates the treasonable de­ fiance of its authority by the rules of this theocracy, of course only encour­ ages their contempt and hate of it. The jconsequenoes requires no prophet to prcdict. Procrastination and indulg­ ence are what the leaders desire until they are so firmly intrenched that they cannot be dislodged from their strong­ hold. The very mea«*ire that Con­ gress enacted for tlio carrying out of the Mrict laws it had passed against the crime of polygamy has been frus­ trated, and the commission appointed for that purpose have been hoodwinked and entrapped^by the wily Mormon diplomatlstn. The New York Tribune openly charges the majority of the commis&ion with a betrayal of their trust as the agents of the government, and with iieutrnlixing the good "tlmt culminated in the pannage of the im­ perfect Edmunds law.*' The Mormon leaders will now press the admission of Utah Into the Union as a sovereign !K*te,«nd there is too mncli reason to fear that political requirements will accede to the shameful bargain that will be uiadc. *•'<: 1- •GT'Ttie Rochester Democrat (Hep.) takes a liopeful view of Republican prospects In that state. It says: j, „#Jit ta n^t»required in tbis'connection ,!o dincitxn the question an to whether tjiede/^ftt of the Republicans In the slate election#' of 1882 was deserved; but it is certain that the discipline of defeat has been whelcsome. It hns at •uce curbed tbe pretensions of self con­ stituted tenders, lias evoked from fac­ tion!!! disturbance* the benign spirit of conciliation between elements hitherto antagonistic to each other, and lias at Imulatod a consideration for the vir­ tues rather titan a criticism of the mis­ takes of either. It has shown that the party, As a whole, mun maintain the highest standards of political action, und that it csinnot be insensible to the best tfemands of the limir. The disci­ pline endured lias both cemented and purified the party. Hereafter there will be no groping among the ashen of past controversies, but there will be hold and positive declarations of prin­ ciples which all true Republicans hold, and to which the intelligent independ­ ent voter must yield his cordial assent- M^The Hon. Scli'iyler Colfax writes to the Lock port, (N. Y.) Journal that while he has no intention of returning to public life he still believe* the peo­ ple have confidence in his integrity, and avers that. Oakes Ames oath to the contrary, he never had a share or a dollar of the dividends of the Credit M obi Her of America. |&*The alarm which has been caused throughout Europe, because of the out­ break of cholera in Egypt, lias not ex­ tended across the ocean: yet the dis­ ease lias been communicated to this country three times during the last century, usually the year following Its outbreak in the old world. Those were lu years when steamboats and railroads wore not as plenty as they ars now, and with the increased facilities for fugitives to reach distant points, It would not be a bad plan for our gov­ ernment to adopt such quarantine nsoasures as are enforced by foreign countries against any vessels coming from Mediterranean ports. It Is said that the disease la not of the malignant Asiatic type, but the number of deaths that have occurred among those at- fitcked by the dire malady, tbow that Its virulence Is just as great. It is more to be (trended than England's latent cargoes from I re laucf's work Itouses.

These laws are In the uaturo or amend­ ments to «x!nthig laws. They are voluminous and compltcatejd. Briefly, It may be stated that they require the comuilseiyuers of highways, instead of wanting money each year in mere tem­ porary work, U) construct permanent roads as fast as means will permit. They require work to be doue in ac­ cordance with the ben known inert)* oiNof road rnakluz, and to be let by contract. They prevent. *« f:ir as pog. slide, the seeding of weeds, thistles, &c.
