the journals of Salt Lake, without
feeling that the court was organized
to convict, without much regard to
law.
The penalty under the Territorial
law for adultery is imprisonment
not exceeding twenty years. Under
the peculiar circumstances the SEN
tence will probably be made light as
possible. The precedent has been
established. which should be sutfi-
clent for that case. Its effect is to
place every polygamist at the mercy
OF his first wife, sOlong as Mormons
are excluded from %juries. If the
verdict, and the rulings of the Court
are sustained, this case is likely to
mark the beginning of Il social revo-
luton in Utah, and the breaking up
Of this extraordinary society.-but
even this result will scarcely offset
the judicial usurpations by which it
is brought about.
The Church may attempt to stop
the Gentle advance on this particu-
lar line of march by repeating the
statute under which the Hawkins
indictment was found. But while
this would protect the future, it
would afford no defensef for past vio-
lations. The Legislature elect is
Mormon, and it can speedily remove
the statute punishingadultery. How
far a remedial act could be made to
protect past ~otfenses is questionable.
Under the present judiciary of Utah
it would be likely to prove a frail
barrier.

DISTRICT Contributing the week
the District Court has been in full
blast, Judge Harris. presiding. After
diSposing of several unimpOrtant civil
cases "A jury was impanneled for the
trial of John Stout, charged with rob
hing the English mill. Eleven stub
born men We're wrung in on that jury
and of necessity the jury had TO be
discharged without rendering a YER
diet. Cummings, of Wadsworth, was
then put on trial, charged with incest.
After most disgusting trial the jury
returned a verdict of Mot Guilty.
We do not question the correctness of
this verdict, but when we see a daugh-
ter, under oath. accusing her father of
so beastlv a crime and OH the other
hand father and mother unite in ac-
cuSing a daughter of habitUaI lying,
perjury and prostitution, we are forced
TO the conclusion that there is some
thing radically wrong in that family.
Could the jury have consigned the en-
tire family TO some solitary island aud
then sunk the island. though exact JUS
tice might not have been melted out,
but the standard of morality i'll the
world would certainly have been
elevated.-[Reno Crescent.

INTERESTING INSURANCE CASE

The Supreme Court of Nevada has
filed an opinion in the case of Sarah J..
Cooper V. the Pacific Mutual Fire In
surance Company, ordering the nom
suit in the lower Court set aside, and
Judgment reversed.
The facts were these: The plaintiff
Introduced evidence going to prove
that an application was made to the
agents of the defendant for a policy of
Insurance on the life of the plaintilf's
husband-that at the time the applica-
ton vas made. fifty dollars was paid
according to the regulations OF the
company, which was to be applied on
the first years premium, provided the
defendant should conclude to make
the insurance. The application thus
made was forwarded 10 the proper Of
ice OF the company; Il policy was in
due time made out and forwarded to
the agent in this State for delivery, but
the insured having died before it was
delivered, the agent refused to deliver
il, although demandedandthe balance
of the premium offered to be paid
ON these facts the lower Court non
suited the plaintiff, holding the con-
tract inchoate. The Supreme Court
reversed the order, and says: Here
Is undoubtedly sufficient proof to e>-
tablish a contract for a policy. The
application for a policy by the assured,
with the payment of a portion of the
premium, the acceptance of the risk
by the defendant, left nothing to be
done but the delivery of the policy,
and the payment by the plaintiff of
the balance of the premium. which
appears was not required by the rules
OF the company until the completion
of the transaction. These facts show
a valid contract for a policy between
the parties. The moment the com
pany concluded TO make the in>ur-
auce, the fifty dollars paid to its agent
became its property without any fur
ther action on its part. 1t was paid
upon the conditiont that ifthe company
concluded to make the Insurance it
should be applied in payment of the
premium; when. therefore. the risk
was taken it became the property of
defendant. and at the same time the
assured became entitled to the policy.
Thu, there was the acceptance of the
application by the company and the
payment of portion of the premium
As a consideration therefor by the
plaintiff, which i all that was neceS-
sary to make a valid contract between
the parties. Such contracts are as
available to sustain an action for the
amOunt of the insurance as if the pol
ley itself had been issued.
So it has frequently been held hat the
premium may be received on a mere
contract to insure VII, ~e no policy has
been made out, and sue we take it as
the law"

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CUsToMHoUsE.-
The improvements in the Customhouse are
going on steadily. The ceilings of the
basement stories, wherever corroded by
rains and damp, are undergoing repairs, and
the interior is occupied by scaffolding and
the usual accompaniments to works of this
kind. The roof having been thoroughly
covered, one great cause of decay in the
brickwork Is thereby removed, since there
is no leakage in the new order of things.
The rotunda resembles nothing at present
80 much as an old ruin, but will soon put
on new face.
The old passage way to the federal courts
and Offices has now been appropriated by
the postoffice, and is used for the daily dis
tribution of exchanges. The rooms ad-
Joining on the north side are both intended
for the same department, and workmen are
busy recOnstructing the whole ceilings.
The slabs designed for the completion are
prepared and fitted into their positions
surely and steadily, and ere long the whole
will be ready for use. The old floors of the
former Marshars store rooms are all taken
up with the object of replacing them with
newer material.

The New York World says of the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio:

cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio:
General George w. McCook, one of the
famous lighting McCooks of Ohio, has re-
ceived the nomination of the Democracy
for Governor of Ohio He has long been
known in connection with the party in the
Buckeye State, and in the National Demo
cratic Convention of late years has invaria-
bly, headed the Ohio delegation. He was
born in East Ohio ano educated at Steuben-
vile, where he distinguished himself among
his fellow-students. Admitted to the bar at
an early age, he speedily gained considera-
ton as lawyer. but he was called from
practice by the breaking out of the Mexi-
can war McCook went to Mexico as sab
altern and came back as leutenant-colonel
of his regiment. He covered himself with
distinction during the war, as also did his
three brothers, one of whom was killed In
the late civil war. The young soldier re-
sumed his profession in Jefferson county,
Ohio, and few years later was appointed
encouragement for the State. This, we
believe, is the only Office he has held. He
is one of the ablest lawyers in the West,
and powerful stump speaker and, with
the exception perhaps of Mr.. PendletoH, is
the most popular Democratic statesman Of
Ohio.
