-Inthe Supreme Court ofthe United States,
on Monday, Chief Justice Chase delivered a
very Important decision in the Utah case, re-
yefsiprs Che decision or Judge Mexican; and
virtually sustaining the Mormon side OF the
question. The main points Of the dispute
were the following: Under the territorial law
of Utah. Jurors are selected by what are term
ed3cotnty court commissioner land sfroHn1
tksm tie Jurors naveeht to be dfawh@to sefvefn
!, the Territorial courts. Judge Mexican held
that the Territorial Legislature had no right
to prescribe the manner Of selecting jurors for
his court, and he issued avenire to the United
States marshal to summon jurors, from which
list the Judge himself selected the panel. One
of. the parties objected to having his case
fried6afore Jurors snmmoRediin that manner.
The exceptions were noted, and the case &C
cordingly came before the Supreme Court.
In delivering the opinion, the chief justice de-
fined the course of Judge Mexican as wrong
In principle, and said that ever IN crimes
against the United States It is the right of the
Mormons to be tried under the Territorial or
dipances. ;, 1t lis. understood that Judge
