A BILL FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF
Observation-Disclosures special
of the 9th to the N. Y. Herald, says:
Some time of the committee was
devoted to the discussion of Senator
Cragin's bill TO regulate the social,
JUG icial and political affairs of Utah
Territory. The bill provides that
only citizens of the United States
shall be competent to act as grand
and petit jurors that no man shall
take unto himself more than one
wife; that all commissions and APP
pointments, both civil and military,
granted by Brigham Young, shall
cease and have no effect after the
first of next year that it shall be
unlawful for the officers or members
of the Church of Latter Day Saints
to grant divorces or solemnize mar
riages, and that all the acts and
Oh dinances of Brigham's government
done in the name of the Church as
trustee, granting lands and streams
of the Territory, and which in any
way interfere with the primary dis
posal of the soil by the United States,
are disapproved and annulled, and
that no restriction of any kind shall
be placed on the free use of the bal
lot, nor any arts practiced to mark
the votes of citizens. The bill is
very long, and is deem by some men,
bers of the committee rather too
despotic in some of it's provisions.
The clause prohibiting the granting
of United States lands by Brigham
Young in trust for the use of the
Church to his friends and relatives
is considered eminently proper, but
it is thought better to treat these
matters affecting the religion of the
Mormons with as much delicaey as
possible. Several amendments or
this head will be made ON Saturday
in committee, and in the meantime
Mr.. Cragin will prepare an elaborate
speech oD the whole vexed question
of Utah and its peculiar institution,
for delivery in the Senate after the
presentation of his bill.
