DEAR COURIER

DEAR COURIER -
The Senate was
engaged pretty much all to-day, dis.
GUESSING the newspaper business, on
motion of Bills, of Monroe, to allow
20 copies daily, or their equivalent
in weeklies to each member.
Bills, Mexican, Mitchell and Null
kern made strong arguments in
favor Of liberal allowances in this
direction, on the ground that their
constituents should through this
medium, be fully posted of the doings
of their representatives, and on the
better ground, that as member leg
isl'ted for all parts of the state, he
could not do SO intelligently unless
he had newspapers, and thus proper
information from all parts of the
State.
Col. Mulkcrn of Dubuque, who has
the immortal honor of being one of
tho few Copperhoad Senators here,
put the proposition on higher and
more scif-evidcntly right ground
than any other Senator, to.wit that
he came from a Democratic county
greatly in need of enlightment, and

Reply to tho Cincinnati

ave have been favored with a
copy Of a letter addressed to the
Cincinnati Gazette, by the Hon. j.

able reply to the charges made
against Mr.. Grinnell by tho Wash

GRINNELL, Iowa, !
January, 8, 1870. {
Editors Cincinnati Gazette The
respectable character of your journal,
is my apology for noticing the follow
ing derogatory paragraph in the
Gazette from your Washington cor
respondent:
HARLAN AND GRINNELL.
Mr.. Grinnoll was Member of
Congress. He was also Mr.. Harlan's
middle man in the dealings with the
Connecticut Emigrant Company, and
their assigns, Mr. Joy and his friends,
in the Cherokee treaty. After Brown
ing had set the illegal treaty of
Harlan aside and sold the lands to
Joy, Grirnell was then the man who
managed the payment by way of
compromising with the Connecticut
company, and in getting the subse-
quent supplemented treaty through
the Senate, after Mr.. Harlan got
back there, for which over $4,000
was paid into Grinnells hand at one
time, a very considerable portion of
which, said to be three-tenths, was
placed at tho control of Senator Har-
Ian or his family. Grinnell is still
the active middle-man and lobby

part of the Government officials

Polygamy in Utah:

Der. The house bill drawn and re-
ported by Mr.. Cullom of Illinois
chairman Of the committee on Terri

The tone ofMr. Cullom's bill is es

ton ofpolygamy, and judging from
the prevailing sentiment OF the East.

tant modification. 1t provides that
plurality of wives shall be crime
punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary; and all the rights now
enjoyed by the Mormons as citizens
of The United States, and all that
they have hitherto enjoyed in any
capacity under federal protection, are
to be taken away or suspended until
they arc willing to forego the luxury
of harems, to discard forever the pa.
triarchal custom which constitutes
the groundwork of their social and re.
ligious organization. In short Brig
ham Young and his deluded follow.
ers are very properly to be deprived
ofall their rights, except the right Of
being taxed, and the right of being
incarcerated in the penitentiary.-
With such law, if it is properly en-
forced, the Prophet will be compelled
to do one of three things,-fght, en-
igrate, or divorce himself from some
ninety-nine or hundred ofhis wives
But will such q law be enforced (?
We fear not. It seems that q law
very similar in principle but not
quite SO severe in effect, has been on
the federal statute books since
1862, but it has never been enforced
IN a single instance. Itprovides that
"every person having a husband or a
"wiie living who shall marry any
"other person in Territory of, or
elsewhere in the United States, shall
"be adjudged guilty of bigamy, and
"upon conviction shall be punished by
"a fine not exceeding $500, and by
imprisonment for a term not ex-
"ceeding five years" This would
would seem to reach and cover the
whole question, but, as before remarked
the law is practically a dead letter.
Eight years have gone by since its
passage, and polygamy is only the
more fourishing.
Public attention, however, is be-
coming aroused to this question, and
it is barely possible that an attempt
will be made to enforce the new law.
In that event there will be another
Mormon war. Brigham Young was
so inflated by the apparent success Of

really and earnestly believes himself
equal to tho task, he will make .
stubborn resistance to the execution

It is claimed that the Mormon
question will settle itself in time,
through tho influx Of Gentiles by the
Pacific Railroad. Perhaps it would
in a quarter Of century, but not in
Eve years nor in ten. Salt Lake is a
Mormon city, is owned by Mormons.
Its inhabitants have the power OF
almost isolating themselves from the
balance of mankind, and Of starving
out such imprudcnt Gentiles as may
force themselves into the community.
They have already adopted the non.
intercourse rule, and the Gentle
merchants are closing their shops
and moving their goods away. So,
we say the peaceful solution is too
slow. The country cannot afford to
have them disregard the laws so
long. Quarter ten regin ents Of in.
fantry on them awhile, enforce every
law, send Brigham Young and . few
apostles aloft with q short shrift, and,
presto, the problem solves itself right
speedily, and in the end at the least
