In rear of the pulpit stood a large wblte cross with a lovely 6pray of purple wisteria suspended from its top.

II. U. B. The Catieof Kred Smuot an<l the v of PrcKiUpiit Smith. Spartanburg Herald. Theexamination of Presi dent Smith of the Mormon church reveals au interesting situation. Mr. Smith says he has five wives, that he lias these each in a separate home, that he visits these homes and that he has live separate families. He also says that he believes tnis is right, that the Tightness of it came to him in a revelation, and while he does not consider that herein he technically disobeys the laws of the United States, yet, if by construction he does, then he would run the risk ol prosecution as well as being an outlaw, rather than desert those wives whom be has taken in good faith under the law at the time of the marriages. But exactly what all of this has to do with the case of Mr. Reed Hmoot we art* quite uuable to see. Mr. Reed Smoot took the oath to support the constitution of the United States. It has not been proved nor is there anything in President Smith's testimony, or in any testimony so far produced, that will ISL.I.. M. Sc. piuvc buai iui. oujuui ia gumj of polygamy or of auy other violation of the law of the laud. What his beliefs upon the subject of polygamy are whether beliefs upou that subject be considered religious, sociological, or political has nothing to do, so far as we can see, with his qualifications for the senate of the United States. Mr. Smoot is one of the Apostles of the Mormon church. It.seeuis to be proved that the Mormon church does not sanction plural marriages or specifically charges disobedience to law. But agaiu, what has this to do with Mr. Smoot and his seat in the senate? If the Mormou church do sanction violation of law, because Mr. Smoot is one of the twelve apostles, there is considerable doubt as to whether he could be considered, ou that account, an outlaw.

Alter theconentional introduction, which speaks f war as "unhappily" existing, and of he friendship of this country for both lations, the President forbids the folowing acts, "under severe penalties:" Accepting and exercising a com oission to serve either belligerent gainst the other, by land or sea. Enlisting with either * belligerent, is soldier, as marine or as seaman on >oard of any vessel of war, letter of narque or privateer.

The proclamation also provides for a joutingency like this : If several vessels of war or merchantmen of one power and several war vessels of. the 3ther should be in a United States port at one time, the one power would uot be permitted to detain the other's whole fleet by sending out her ships it the rate of one day. The rule in a case like this woud be to send out on the first day a vessel of one power, and the next day one of the oiher power's ships, and so on in alternation until the port was cleared of all the ships of both. A ship of war of either Kussia 01 Japan is allowed to take on coal in a Uniied States port only in sufficient quanity to carry her to the nearest port of her own country, and such vessel cannot thereafter coal at a United States port within three months, unlauti uhp h?Q in moontimn o home port. The proclamation quotes from a treaty of 1854 with "the Emperor ol all the Russians," in which the following principles were regarded as per manent aud immutable: "1. Thai free ships make free goods; that is ti say, that the effects or goods belong iug to subjects or citizens ot a power oi [Stale at war are free from capture and {confiscation when found on board ol neutral vessels, with tbe exception oi articles contraband of war.
