same point to drink, and when crowd
of boys happened to be there ut the
same time, they claimed the privilege
of riding the beasts INTO the water
On one fatal day Warren was taking a
bath, when number of horses were
led down. They were forthwith seized
upon by the boys, who mounted and
drove them into the drink. The steed

he had appointed what land she should
have, she would cali her lovers togeth-

and take one of them as her husband /;
that she did not possess a house but

the walls to another to provide the
cordage to another to gather the
straw for the roof to another to pro-

The work was usually put in hand

MIR. MorrIll's Services.
PoLYGAMY.

Early in its history the Republican
party pronounced slavery and polypa-
my "the twin relics of barbarism. /"
Mormonism, driven from the Western
States, under the sanction of the nov
eminent had established itself between
the great plains and the Pacific. Polv-
gamy, repugnant to our laws and the
spirit of our institutions, was practised
III its most cruel, debasing and revolt
ing forms And yet there was no law
to meet the case in the Territories.
The country is indebted TO Hon. JUS
tan 5. Morrill, for inaugurating legisla-
ton against the barbarous institution.
In the House of Representatives ON
February 23d, 1866, MR. Morrill, de-
hvered n well considered aud exbaus-
tive speech upon the statutes, ordiu-
ances and doctrines of the Mormons
In that speech the subject of polvoa-
my was fully and ably discussed. II
had been sought to defend this i'm
moral institution as having part of a
religious system. The Mornons
looked for a shield in the constitution
where it declares that Congress shall
make no law respecting an establish
ment OF religion, or prohibitinr the
free exercise thereof" But Mr. Nor
rlll argued that the fullest latitude of
liberation IN the exercise of religion
could not be understood to license
crimes punishable at common Inv
lie further showed that the Mormons
had set up hierarchy, which is clear
ly repngnant to the Constitution of
the United States, which guarantees
to every State republican form of
government "a Republican form of
government is substance and not tho
shadow, is required at the hands of the
United States at all hazards" This
remark applies not only to Mormon
ism, but embodies principle which
should at this time have a controlling
weight in the matter of reconstruct.
ion.
In answer to the question what
should be done to remedy the state of
affairs existing in Utah. Mr.. Morrill,
made some practical suggestions. In
the first place, Congress by disapprov-
ing Of Objectionable Territorial laws,
thereby annullod them. Again, the
boundaries of the Territory might be
circumscribed, and the entire Territory
might be cut up and annexed to adj
joining Territories. If preferred,
Territorial government might be or
ganized whose officers should not be
Mormons, to be supported by militia
ny force.
Mr.. Morrill, pointed out the incon-
sistency of the Mormons in departing
from their own acknowledged authori-
ty, The Book of Mormon" This de-
clares polygamy to be an iniquity and
forbids it. Polygamy seems to have
been a degeneracy of later dignitaries
like Brigham Young.
According TO a recent official report
affairs in Utah are in deplorable con-
dition. The people manifest a very
disloyal spirit toward the government.
But the government is not now power
less. There are now laws by which
may be suppressed. 1t is to
be hoped that obedience to these laws,
as well as loyalty, viii be required
