A Committee of the Utah Legislature has been investigating the interesting subject of polygamy, and has made a report defending the institution on the ground that the Bible sanctions it. Precisely what Mormon legislators have to do with the Bible we do not perceive, but we should have supposed that they would prefer the Book of Mormon as an authority. The things sanctioned by the Bible, however, are so many, and the sanctions given are frequently so conflicting and perplexing, that almost any kind of institution might be defended upon the same ground; and, in fact, the most astonishing institutions have continually been so defended. The Utah Legislature ought to know, nevertheless, that the Constitution of the United States was not founded upon the Bible, and does not recognize that compilation as a standard authority. It is true it provides for religious toleration, but the Mormons go too far when they undertake to shelter polygamy under the plea that it is a religious institution, and consequently not open to control or regulation by Congress or any other power. Upon that argument it would be possible to defend human sacrifices, or the resurrection of the worship of Priapus. Upon that line of reasoning slavery was long defended, but we believe that events have caused it to be abandoned so far as that evil is concerned. On the whole we do not think that a good case has been made out for polygamy, though we recognize the fact that it is a particularly difficult subject to settle, after Congress has evaded it for so many years. Mr. Belmont and Democracy. [From the New York Commercial Advertiser.] Mr. August Belmont replies to Governor Hendricks' late card. Mr. Belmont's reply is pointed and conclusive. He nails Hendricks to the counter like a base coin. He holds him up as a trickster and a fraud.

[FROM LAST SATURDAY'S SECOND EDITION.] At the meeting of the Board of Trustees yesterday, Mr. Tim Boege reported about two miles of grading done on the streets at a cost up to date of $583 12, and a warrant was ordered drawn for the amount. The Marshal was ordered to proceed to the fullest extent of the law in collecting the dog tax, and the Clerk was ordered to institute suits against saloon keepers who refuse to pay the town license. The track of the Southern Pacific road at Caliente Creek was found to be eight feet under water on Thursday. The Rain Record. Mr. H. A. Smith, agent of the S. P. R. R., was kind enough yesterday to show us the pluviometer in use at the depot. We last week called attention to the very great difference in the rainfall as reported by Mr. Smith, and that reported by our correspondents both in and out of town. Since then Mr. Smith has placed a common tin can in close juxtaposition to the pluviometer, and carefully noted the result. He finds, contrary to expectation, that the difference is in favor of the pluviometer, that instrument marking a greater fall than the can. The pluviometer is placed on top of the depot Mr. Belmont and Democracy. [From the New York Commercial Advertiser.] Mr. August Belmont replies to Governor Hendricks' late card. Mr. Belmont's reply is pointed and conclusive. He nails Hendricks to the counter like a base coin. He holds him up as a trickster and a fraud. Mr. Belmont's quotation from the mouth of Hendricks shows that Hendricks is not a man of truth and veracity. The World, Times and Tribune intimate that the letter of Mr. Belmont ends Hendricks for the Presidency. Not so fast, gentlemen; not so fast, if you please. Mr. Belmont is an eminent banker, an illustrious citizen, an honorable man and a leader in the Democratic party, but his influence and power are limited, judging by the history of the St Louis Convention. Before the Convention met, Mr. Belmont and several other well known Democrats were equally as pronounced against Governor Tilden as a Presidential candidate as they are now against Hendricks. Mr. Belmont and his friends are Democrats, and will support Hendricks just as they did Tilden. We repeat, Mr. Belmont will stand by the Democratic Party, no matter what happens. When August Belmont turns his back on the Democratic Party, flowers will lose their odor and trees will shed no leaves. When he joins any other party, birds will talk, beasts will laugh, the new Pope will join the Mormon Church, and the Czar will accept a Democratic nomination for Congress in the Fourth Congressional District and be elected. Look for the millennium, but never expect to see August Belmont anything but a reliable Democrat—silver or no silver, greenbacks and repudiation, and all other evils counted in. Japanese Breaches of Promise. After a Japanese lover has proved false to his vows, the deserted maiden rises at about 2 o'clock in the morning, and dons a white robe and high sandals or clogs. Her coif is a metal truped, into which are thrust three lighted candles; around her neck she hangs a mirror, which falls upon her bosom; in her left hand she carries a small straw figure—the effigy of her faithless lover—and in her right she grasps a hammer and nail, with which she nails it to one of the sacred trees that surrounds the shrine. Then she prays for the death of the traitor, vowing that if her petition be heard she will herself pull out the nails which offend the god by wounding the mystic tree. Night after night she comes to the shrine, and strikes in two more nails, believing that every nail will shorten her lover's life, for the god, to save his tree, will surely strike him dead. It is a curious illustration of the hold superstition yet has on the Japanese. Du Chaiila says he saw a Chief in Africa who had three hundred wives, and it only cost him three cents a year to dress them in the height of African fashion. It is reported that over 50,000 females are carried in France in the decoration of porpoise. Mr. H. A. Smith, agent of the S. P. R. R., was kind enough yesterday to show us the pluviometer in use at the depot. We last week called attention to the very great difference in the rainfall as reported by Mr. Smith, and that reported by our correspondents both in and out of town. Since then Mr. Smith has placed a common tin can in close juxtaposition to the pluviometer, and carefully noted the result. He finds, contrary to expectation, that the difference is in favor of the pluviometer, that instrument marking a greater fall than the can. The pluviometer is placed on top of the depot building, away from any obstruction, and it certainly seems as if it should record accurately. The gauges of our correspondents, on the contrary, are placed on the ground, and it has been ascertained by careful tests that gauges so placed invariably mark a greater rainfall. In further explanation of the difference in the reports, Mr. Smith says that he has observed heavy clouds breaking over town when not a drop would fall in the vicinity of the depot. It will be seen from the report of Mr. Saxton, that in Orange-thorpe on Tuesday and Wednesday the rainfall was 1.11-16 inches. At the depot it was only 1.23 inches, or nearly one-half inch less than at Orangethorpe. At the latter place the rainfall for the season is 12½ inches, and at the depot only 8.78 inches—a difference nearly as great as the total rainfall of the season of 1876-7. Dr. Higgins' rain gauge marked a fall of 1¼ inches for Wednesday and Thursday, making a total for the season of 12.9-16 inches. Belligerent Journalists. Deadwood, (D. T.) Feb. 17.—Bartholomew, editor of the Central City Herald, accompanied by his wife, both armed with revolvers, today interviewed the Deadwood Times man, relative to an article that recently appeared in the latter paper reflecting on Mrs. Bartholomew. After a warm time, in which nobody was hurt, the belligerent parties left, vowing vengeance and bloodshed. They also interviewed the editor of the Pioneer for the same reason and with the same result. Mrs. Bartholomew is a daughter of Leander M. Black, a prominent army contractor. Trouble is anticipated out of the affair. Of the 5,000 envelopes asking subscriptions to the Robert K. Lee monument, sent out some time ago to the citizens of Richmond, Va., only 38 have been returned, containing an aggregate of $40 32. Du Chaiila says he saw a Chief in Africa who had three hundred wives, and it only cost him three cents a year to dress them in the height of African fashion. It is reported that over 50,000 females are engaged in France in the decoration of porcelain, and that fully 10,000 support themselves by working on earthenware. In this country the art of decorating has only begun. Richford, Vt., Feb. 16.—There are forty cases of poisoning from using water from an infected well. There have been no deaths since Monday, but several are expected. It is stated by C. K. Ross, the father of the lost Charlie Ross, that he has been summoned to view 573 boys, and none of them proved to be the right one. "I suppose," added Mr. Ross, "that I shall continue to see boys till I die." Not the least astonishing part of the matter is, that there should be so many little ones demanding paternal recognition. The maddest man in Eureka is the one who received a drop letter on the 14th inst. He examined the outside, came to the conclusion that it was a scurrillous valentine, and without opening it, thrust it into the office stove. Yesterday he learned that a debtor from Ruby Hill had called at his office on St. Valentine's Day, and, not finding him at home, had enclosed a $20 gold note in an envelope and put it in the postoffice, supposing, as a matter of course, that he would receive it with despatch. He did, and hereafter he will open all letters, regardless of consequences. Eureka Sentinel. San Jose Mercury: Mr. Eberhardt, a tanner, who received all but two votes in the town of Santa Clara for the office of School Trustee, and who at the close of last year's business divided the sum of $1500—the excess of profits over his calculations—among his workmen, was defeated in the Labor Convention on Friday, because, as is said, "he is a capitalist and has no sympathy with labor." Will he have $1,500 worth of sympathy with labor next New Year? A strange threat was made recently by persons who wrote anonymously to the banks of Oaccola, Mo. They demanded that each of the bankers should furnish a certain amount of money, the entire collection to be done up in a package and dropped by the mail carrier in the open prairie between certain points. The penalty of refusal is the burning of the town, but the bankers have simply put the officers on the watch, and lock up more securely than ever. Commercial Restaurant! Centre Street, Anaheim.
