SILT LAKE, Oct. 28.-Chief JUS
McKean this morning passed SEN
,ence upon Thomas Hawkins, the
pOlygamist, as follows:
Thomas Hawkins, / am sorry for
YOU, very sorry; yon may not think
so now, but l shall try to make
you think SO by the mercy which 1
shall show you. You came from
England to this country with the
wife Of your youth; for many years
YOU were q kind hnsband'and q kind
father; at length, however, the evil
spirit Ofpdygamy tempted and pos
sessed You, then happiness depart
ed from your household, and now
by the complaint of your faithful
wife and the verdict of a law-abid-
lng jury, you stand Of this bar as a
Convicted criminal. The law gives
ne O large discretionary power in
passing sentence upon you. L
night both fine and imprison you,
o,l might fine or imprison you;
might imprision you twenty years
md hne you $1,000. l cannot i'm

and repeal the Constitution. Even
should it be impossible to obtain
such Judgment before the next
meeting of Congress, yet the act will
ere then have been studied by the
people and public opinion will de-
mand imperatively that it be remov-
ed from the statute book. By such
means only can usurpation, under
the forms Of law, be met in man
ner worthy of the nation, and the
means, we are confident, are ade-
auate to the end"

THE CRISIS.

Crises mark the progress or retro
gression of nations. There still
sounds in our ears the oft repeated
warnings of Calhoun's approaching
"crisis" and of Stewards "irrepress-
ible conflict which came and
'drenched the land in fraternal
blood"
The first throe of the terrible con-
vulsion has passed only to warn us
that We are threatened with another
and still more terrible conflict. II
is believed by many intelligent peo-
pie that we are approaching crisis
that it will not be deferred beyond
the next Presidential election
which may, possibly, involve civil
war, the suffering of which and the
end of which no one can foresce
save that such war must terminate
in the overthrow of all liberty anC
the permanent establishment of des
potism.
We say such a war is possible. Il
may be avoided. The party in pow
er is marching with giant strides OF
to Empire. It's interest now is tc
be wicked to large majority of the
Southern people, to stir them uE
with all manner of insult and op'
preston to resistance and violence.
Failing in this; finding that the
Southern people can bear, hiding
their time, more than the Govern
ment can infiict, the crisis will be
delayed until the election when the
whole country will be required to
accept the Empire or civil war
Such are the intimations from the
N. Y. Herald and other leading pa
pers. We give our readers the
benefit of the ideas seriously i'm
pressed with the imminence of evil.

TIE GRASSES.

Judge KNIGHT called our atten-
ton last week to his Clover at his
residence on Atlanta Street. 1t is a
mass of rich verdure nearly eighteen
inches high and ready for the blade,
and affords complete evidence of the
adaptability of our soil and climate
to the successful growth of the stock
raising and renovating grasses. -
An acre or more like this, put in by
each farmer of this section would
soon put different face upon cur
agriculture and bring about that
change in our rural economy without
which it can never reach its highest
prosperity.

THE REVOLUTION.

The N. Y. Herald has the follow
ing paragraph on the last measure Of
raaicalism Fastening the establish
pspt of Empire
THE Federal government, under
the Radicals, is fast marching to q
centralized despotism. The coer-
Give bill just passed by Congress and
signed by the President, under the
pretext of KuKlux disorders in the
South, is the severest blow to hber-
ty ever struck in this country. II
place the whole population of vast
section, innocent as well as guilty, at
the mercy of one man and myrimid-
ons. 1t is the government of the
sword. There is no necessity for
that. The industry, prosperity and
general good conduct of the South
show the impolicy and injustice OF
such dangerous measure. Disor-
ders there are, no doubt, as there
frequently are in other sections Of
the country, but they have been
greatly exaggerated and do not jus
tify the subversion of civil liberty
Many Of these disorders have been
fomented by the Radicals themselves
This high-handed and autocratie
policy of the government must be
understood by the conservative PEG.
pie of the North. They will soor
learn that it has been adopted fol
political ends-to inhame sectional
passions, and to place the Southern
States under the control of the adj
ministration so as to secure theil
vote in the coming Presidential cleo
ton. 1t looks as if the Radicals are
ready to create another civil wal
rather than lore their power. Still
we think they will over-reach them
selves, and that their very cOerciv'
and despotic policy may defeat the
object they have in view. This
pretended Ku-Klux Legislation will
give the Democrats great advan
tage, if they know how to use it.
They could have no better plank ii
their platform, and no better issue
on which to go before the people,
The old saying that "whom the god
would destroy they first make mad
seems to be applicable just now t.
the Radical party.

GRANT.
A GRAPHIC pORTRAITURE OF OUR EN-
PEROR BY AN ADMIRER.

PEROR BY AN ADMIRER.
Mr.. E. Z. Whipple thus writes of
our President A peculiar kind of
grit, not falling under any of the
special expressions have noted,
/ yet partaking in some degree of all,
is illustrated in the character of
General Grant. Without an atom
of pretension or rhetoric, with none
of the external signs of energy and
intrepidity, making no parade of the
immovable purpose, iron nerve. and
silent penetrating intelligence God
has put into him, his tranquil great
ness is hidden from superficial scru
tiny behind cigar, as President
Lincoln's was behind a joke. When
anybody tried to coax, caiole, over
awe, brow-bcat or deceive Lincoln,
the President nurscd his leg, and
was reminded Of story when any
body tries the same game with
Grant, the General listens and
smokes. If you try TO "hcedIe out
Of him his plans for campaign, he
stolidly smokes if you call him an
imbccile and blundercr, he blandIy
lights another cigar; if you praise
him as the greatest general living,
he placidly returns the puff from his
regalia and if you tell him he
should run for the Presidency, it
does not disturb the equanimity with
which he inhsles and exhaIes the
unsubstantial vapor which typifes
the politicians promises. While
you are wondering what kind of a
man this creature is without
tongue, you are suddenly electrified
with the news of some splendid VIC
tory, proving that behind that cigar,
and behind the face discharged Of all
tell-tale expressions, is the best brain
to plan and the strongest heart to
dare among the generals of the Re-
public.

The Southern Recorder is getting
tired of ''Nemesis." After copying
his first three numbers, it could not
we'll exclude the fourth, but copied
it with an emphatic protest, saying :;
"The letter of "Eemesis," No. a.,
we regard as low and vulgar pro-
duction compared with its predeces-
sors not at all worthy ofthe writer
of the first letters. We think he
had better let this be his last if it is
specimen of what his subsequent eff
forts will produce

contemporaries too hasty in pronounc-
ing that it soaS the style of Junius
that made them admire his letters =
