END OF THE MORMON Prose- UTIoNs.-In
the United States Supreme Court yesterday,
las stated in TIE starr the Chief Justice an
nounced the unanimous opinion of the court,
reversing the decision OF Judge Mexican, OF
Utah, in regard to the Mormon trials, and
declaring the trials unconstitutional. The fol-
lowing IRE the main points in the case: Under
the territorial law Of Utah, jurors are selected
by what are termed county court commissioners,
and from them the jurors have to be drawn TO
serve in the territorial courts. In the case upon
The appeal on which the decision was made
Judge Mexican held that the territorial legi,l
.ure had no right to prescribe the manner of
selecting jurors for his court, and issued renire
to the United States marshal for that district to
summon jurors, from which list the judge him
self selected the panel. One OF the parties to
this suit objected to having his case tried before
jurors sum m0ned in that manner. The eycep-
tons were noted, and the case came before the
Supreme Court by a writ of error on q bill OF
exceptions to the decision OF Judge Mexican on
that subject. The judgment of the court was
unanimous, and reverses the decision of the
the position taken by Judge Mexican. This
case derives its importance from the fact that il
involves the great question at issue between
the legality ofthe juries which have been sum
mpned to try cases in the territorial courts. The
court having decided in this case that the jury
summoned by the United States marshal was
illegal, the juries summoned I'm the same way Ia
