sippi, Virginia and Texas should
be sustained in the trial and exc
cution of civilians in those States. We
should be glad 70 have done with all such
legislative attempts to turn the stream Of
justice away and make II flow only in
such channels as a partisan majority in
Congress pleases. We hope the case re-
ferred to by the Chief Justice win be the
last in which Congress, by special legisla-
ton, viii seek to forestall theaction of the
Judiciary and determine the fate of par
ticular case or the rights of an Individual
sutton. That from any cause the country
should be SO long without direct decision
from the Supreme Court upon question
so momentous, involving the rights not of
an individual merely, but of whole com
munities, is sufficiently to be regretted.
We should be glad to be able to dismiss,
as simply monstrous, the further sugges-
ton that the delay proceeds from cor
rupt understanding between the Supreme
Court and the President, but in view of
what seems most unnecessary delay, and
with the action of Congressin the McArdle
case fresh in mind, it is difficult to dis
miss unfavorable suspicious, even while
we hope for the best.

SPEAKING of the laying upon the table,
by The House of Representatives Of this
State. Of the resolution TO sell the portraits
of Gen. George II. Thomas and Gov.
Bowulow, The Cincinnati chronicle
RadicaD says:
"Of course all parties must entertain a
high respect for Gen. Thomas, whatever
they think Of his opinions; but 10 retain
the portrait Of Brownlow in the State
House was triumph Of courtesy and
decoTum which must have cost a sacrifice
Of personal feeling among members on
both sides. We hope we should ourselves

His sallow countenance was half hidden

his eyes piercing, and his black and heavy
eyebrows met across his forehead. Nor

lively one. The particulars as far a. VIC

to ''dance the next set" with him, she at
once consented. They took their places on
the foor, tie music struck up, aad away
they went "threading the mazes of the
giddy dance" trim full Of joy and merriment.
The indignant husband stood aghast with
horror, biting his lips with vexation; the
''green-eyed monster" having taken firm
grip on his soul. lie could stand it no lon

termned to ''shufile off this mortal coil"
He accordingly repaired to d,u. store and
purchased vial Of laudanum, aud started
for home, preferring to die under the gaze
OF bis wife than elsewhere. Ho rushed into
the room, and in the presence Of her whom

She ran down stairs, frantically screaming
for help, and alarmed several Of the neigh

her lamentations. A physician was at once
sent for, who came and administered an en-.

his precious life. After recovering from tn

Salt Lake, says gentleman speaking
from observation, is dead, so far as the G en-.
tiles are concerned. The "co-operative'
establishments do all the business, to the ex.
clusion OF everything else. There are num-
1ers OF Gentiles there with $50, 900 worth Of
goods each, who do not sell seventy-liye
dollars worth u day. The cooperative
system is a complete success, and Mormon
ism is a complete rider in Salt Lake. 1t is
Brigham's determination that none but
Mormons shall prosperin in his domnions. In
sermon delivered only day or 50 before
our informant left, he advised his people
not to sell pound of grain or any other
produce to GentileS, but keep it to them
selves. Excursionists visiting Salt Lake
look more like mourners attending fune-
raj than / arties in search Of pleasure. They
arrive i'll the city ut night aud leave dis.
gusted in tho morning.
