The decision Of the Supreme Court of
the United States, in which allthe Judges
coneurred, IN the ease of the criminal
Of the Normons, in no way
touches the question Of polygamy.
Ia the recent prosecutions ois the Nor
mons it was found that TO select jurors
under this Territorial law would not
result in the conviction Of any person,
and the Supreme Court of that Territory
met this exigency by setting aside the
law altogether, aud adopting some other
mode unknown to tbe law The jurors
thus selected we're summoned practically
not to try, but to convict They indiet-
ed everybody who was inimical to the
Gentiles, aud generally convicted every
body who was tried The Chief Justice
Of the Territory, perhaps inflated by the
success Of the operation, and the plaud
its of the partisans of the prosecution
obtained a national notoriety as the cne-
my of polygamy, and as the Judge who
had undertaken to suppress the institu
ton by judicial Interpretation.

rres.dent Grant ana the De.mo-


One of the most interesting examples
of the rapid change going-on, at present.
in our politics Is the strong bid which
the Grant party are making for Demo
cratic votes II Is only few weeks go.
that Democratic vote, jn the estimation
of "A loval Republican. was something
not 70 be solicited, and scarcely accepted
The chief argument against the Liberal
revolt was that it mediiated a coalition
with the Democraey-th while being
avowedly Republican, it proposed to
nominate a ticket that should be sup
ported by Democratic votes. Ii was said
BY way of reproach, that all ways out
Of the Republican party led into the
Democratic camp aud that the willing
ness Of the Liberals 10 invite the aid
and support Of Democrats for their cause
ought to be its condemnation.
Now. all this Is changed As Stokes
made despairiDg bids for the votes Of
Democrats IN Tennessee, in 1870, so
Grant is making bids for the votes of
Democrats in 1872 His friends are
already claiming ,hat the loss to him by
the Liberal revolt will be compensated
By Democratic accession to him; that
as many Democrats will vote for him as
there are Republicans who will vote
against him; or in other words, that at
a moment when the Radical party Is
meuaced with disastrous defeat By the
revolt of the better and more liberal
elements, patriotic "coPPerheads' will
come forward aud save it@by re electing
Grant fer second term
\ II this mag be.true. President Grant
may possess claims on the affections Of
Democrats-those in South Carolina and
Georgia. for exampIe-that no one sas-
poets The viudiciiye partisan policy of
his administration towards the suffering
people of the South may possess Iascina
lions for its victims that we up here do
not dream Of; the coarse and brutal doc
trincs Of lis friends Morton, Chandler
and Butler may be the very doctrines
that Democrats most admire; and per
haps Democrats are prepared toIuTa on
! their history of the last twelve wears,
and rescue Radicalism from the impend
ing destruction which its crimes aud
violence have provoked but We shall not

v.i.hara..al Of Judge Davis.

The withdrawal Of Justice Davis from
the Presidential field as the candidate Of
the Labor Reformers is significant. It
means that lie Democrats in Congress
who have hitherto supported the preten-
sious of Judge Davis expect the forth
coming Democratic National Convention
to iudorse the Greeley and Brown ticket.
Judge Davis Is in perfect accord with
the Congressional Democrats; and, if
suaight-out Democratic ticket were con
sidcred one Of the possibilities of the
future at Washington, his chance for
securing the Democratic nomination
would surpass those Of any other aspi-
rant It's known that neither Mr.. Pen
dleton. nor Mr Hendricks would accept
a nomination against Greeley aud Brown
if it were rendered them; that they re-
gard the union of the entire opposition
upon the Liberal ticket as the sole hope
Of defeating Grant; aud this is obviously
the sense Of the country. i must also
be the sense of the Democrats in Con-
gress, or Judge Davis would not quit
the field until he bad tested his aspira-
tions further by submitting them to an
other National Convention. His with
drawal may be considered in every way
conclusive that, at " ashingtou, the die
in the last ditch policy is not tavorably

IS well known that Mr. Greeley, aithough
enabled to preserve an outward calm,
from his long public life aud practice o.
speaking before very large audiences is
Of "A highly emotional aud nervous La
ture. and keeuly excited in all matters
that interest him personally. He said IN

course the Trumbull votes would be
transferred TO Adams aud the latter nom-
mated When the dispatch was handed
to him from his confidential agent in
Cincinnati he opened quite uneonceru~

OUR RAILROAD INTEREST The talk
Of an extension of the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad from Hickm man
to Charleston. Mo, and also, the con-
tinuation Of The Brownsville and Holly
Springs Railroad to Hickman, is attract
ing lively and favorable discussion
We do not wish to cultivate any undue
hope in this regard and consequently
beg the public not to grow over cou ident.
The arguments in favor of Hickman,
just now, are unquestionable, to our ad
vantage, but in the railroad world as in
the political, the grounds and scenes
change every day, making that which
may appear absolutely essential aud
practicable to day, appear utterly i'm
practicable TO morrow. These two pro
jec,s are 50 intimately depended upon
and indueiye to the other, that the exc
cution of each depends upon a combi-
nation of circumstances that the mana
gers and projectors themselves can not
anticipate.
Our people can do no more now than
wait the developments of events, pre-
pared to aid literally when practicable
and advantageous propositions are Pre-
sented.
We haze shcrtness of route, cheap
ness, and the largest promised aid, to
secure either aud both of these enter
prises, and hence the interest of the
railroads themselves, on our side.
