AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Que of the most important decisions eyer
rendered by the Supreme Court of the United
States, SO far as relates to the Territories and
the rights and privileges Of citizens resident
therein, has recently been promulgated by that
august tribunal. On the 18th of April, the Su-
preme Court announced decision, which the
telegraph Informs US was unanimously con.
Cured IN by the Judges, reversing the judg-
ment of the Supreme Court of Utah in the
case of Englebrecht vs. Clinton. The grounds
upon which the judgment was reversed and the
case ordered dismissed by the court below
were, that the summons was invalid, and the
Jury that tried the case was not lawfully drawn
and summoned. 1t appears that under the
despotic rule OF the Utah Judges, Mexican
and his associate Judges on the bench. every
Mormon was excluded from the jury-box, and
the jury was drawn and summoned by the
United States Marshal instead of the Sheriff
The Territorial statutes, which provide for
the selection and summoning of grand and
petit jurors by the Sheriff and other officials
whose offices were created by legislative enact
ment, were ignored altogether by these carpet
Dagger solons of Utah, and the Judges aud
United States Marshal. in defiance of law, Sc
lected. summoned and packed juries in man
ner without precedent.

and their cases re-submitted To grand jury
drawn and impanneled ia accordance with the
requirements of the Territorial Statutes. This
decision is not only peculiarly acceptable to
the people of Utah. but is equally So tn the
people of all the Territories. The course pur-
sued by Mexican aud his ignorant aud corrupt
associates of Utah, was initiated aud attempt

A SHARP sKIRMIsH.

A Washington dispatch Of the 18th
inst. to the St. Louis Republican gives
the following graphic picture of little
scene that day in the House Of Repre-
sentatives:
There was a brisk skirmish on the
floor of the House to-day on matters
arising out Of the war, in which the same
scene that has been acted 50 many times
before was reacted. 1t was only little
earnestness of language on the part OF
members; sort of impulsiveness that
creeps out every few days during SEES
sion. 1t is only in anger that members
tell the truth about each other, and such
scenes as that Of to-day are regarded as
something piquant and nutritious. The
same old soldiers homestead bill was up
for consideration. Gov Hawley Of Con-
necticut had made his first speech in the
House against the bill, Land had pounded it
SO effectually as to leave in 1t little Of life.
Mr.. Townsend of Pennsylvania had a
protest read against the bill. Signed by
General Hartranft and others in behalf
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Mr.. Speer, Democrat of Pennsylvania,
denounced the Grand Army as a politi.
cal organization. Mr. Townsend said il
was because the Senator'S were Republi
cans while the Democrats were rebels
This shell made fearful explosion. Mr..
Manson Of Indiana, brigsdieF general
in the war, rushed to the trout, and sha.
king his fist at Mr.. Townsend, denounced
the statement as a lie Several other
Democrats who had been officers in
the war took part in the melee, and
employed not less strong language.
Speer then said that the statement
is false and unworthy of my col
league" Others shouted, "Yes, it ID
worthy Of him" and worthy Of mini

Deu0aratic side, as the members rushed

THE pREsIpENT,s SALARY.

II has been stated recently that an
effort will be made during the present
session of Congress to increase the
Presidents salary. This is not at all
surprising, nor do we see in such
movement any cause for an cutlery from
those who suppose they are responsible
for the destinies of the country. When
the government was formed, $25, 600 in
gold was worth as much to the President
as $5o, 900 now. We have greatrespect
for republican simplicity. aud like to
bear the doctrine inculcated in the ris-
ing generation. But the tastes and
modes of living have greatly changed IN
fifty years. The masses OF the peo-
ple. rich and poor, affect style that did
not obtain with our Immediate an
cestors. There are various reasons
for this besides mere vanity or
love of display. Money is more plenti-
full and fortunes acquired in shorter
time, and the people devote Of their
abundance a liberal share to dress,
equipage, receptions, educational &C.
complishments, works of art and litera-
ture and the pleasures Of travel and So
ciety. Whether they are happier or
better on the average is a question not
necessary to answer in this connection.
We are speaking now Of the habits, Gus
toms and manners Of people who move
in good society, and who would cut the
acquaintance Of neighbor failing to
comply with the social code in regard
to appearances at home and abroad.
Such people, then, certainly ex-
pect the chief magistrate Of the
land, who occupies the White
House, and is visited by the accredited
representatives of all civilized lands, as
well as surrounded by an atmospheEs Of
wealth, intelligence and refinement, 10

his position. None Of the esny Presi-
dents ever saved any money from thes
salaries, and Polk and johnson are said
to be the only ones who retired With any

Of worse extrayagance than the pro

tiee nor healthy sentiment in policy

THE SECOND AGE OF pATRIARoHs.

The people who had the good fortune
to be bora Just in time 10 take aparti in
the war Of 1912 are stretching out their
span of life very much after the way Of
the ancient patriatchs. They not only
seldom die, but many more of them are
discovered in out-ofthe.way placesevery
year and brought to the attention of the
government. 1t is cheering to read
statement of Mr.. Garfield, made IN the
House of Representatives yesterday, that
during the year over 1900 names OF the
soldiers oflsl2 have been placed on the
pension rolls. These were soldiers able
to bear arms or at least draw rations
full sixty years ago, and their ages now
must average about seventy-seyen or
eighty. Think Of it, 1900 Of that class
found and put on pensions in single
year in addition to the names already
there. The pension list must be consid-
cradle. Who will say that ours is a
short.lived race after this2 or that the
race of man degenerates with the in
crease of civilized Injuries. of the
entire number on the list only 5000
were dropped during the year from.
death aud various other causes,
while less than ten per cent. of the
widows of Revolutionary soldiers
died during the year. The probabilities
are that the most of these hearty old
gentlemen will live to see the centennial
of 1876, and possibly that some of them
will see the end ef this century. At the
present rate they would all be capital
subjects for life insurance, and some of.
them may yet compete for the laurels of
Methuselah. Meanwhile it is well that
the nation is not unmindful Of their SER
vices, and that stipend is allowed for
their support; and if they have as many
lives each as the body servant Of Gene
raj WashiHgton, the pension bureau will
have work to do in their behalf for a
generation to come.

TRUTH VS.. POLICY.

We have endeavored to get at and

any depression of business prevails from

the death of one human being, however

all the business profits Of Memphis in a
prosperous year In dealing with this

least to put the people on their guard,
and thus many lives have no doubt

admitted that in the proper sense

contagious capacity has become sec
ondary matter, and its epidemical energy

THAT FLoArER,

We will venture, upon the authority oil
Governor Brown proclamation, to state
that Mr.. L. L. Boyd, the Representative
elect from Fayette and Shelby counties,
has rendered his resignation as such,
that it has been accepted, and that an
election to ill the vacancy has been or
dered to be held on Thursday, the Sec
ond day of January, proximo. This
seems authoritative, and we presume
that number OF candidates for the po-
sit;on will take the field at once. The
clever gentleman who resigned is a Re-
publican, and was elected on the Wa
terloo ticket" Whether the allies, who
gained a sweeping victory on the 9th Of
November, will take the same interest in
the election Of one member, remains TO
be seen. We are not 10 good position
to offer suggestions to them; but
this we have always believed; that
as a matter of courtesy to a much
smaller county, the member, for once at
least, should be conceded TO Eayette.
This, however, can be settled BY tne man
ayers, the candidates, and the people.
The election will be held two weeks from
next Thursday.
