Brigham Young and Presi-
dent Grant In Partner
ship POligamy to
Stand Firm:
[From tho Cincinnati Enqditer.l

A beautiful mess the Admin
istration has made of Mormon
prosecutions, 1t started out
to crush Polygamy with a
flourish of trumpets and aif of
outraged virtue, and boasting-
ly announced that it would Sc.
cure the suppression of the
"twin relic" if it required the
whole power of the Govern
ment. Justice Mexican, fool.
ishly believeing that the Ad-
ministration was in earnest,
weat at the work with a will.
Very soon he had Brigham
Young and most Of his apostles
under arrest on the charge of
murder, and committed them
witout bail. Though his pro-
ceedings were believed to be
illegal, his most arbitrary acts
were most loudly applauded,
and he had reason to believe
that he was carrying out the
will of the powers that be.
Suddenly District-Aatto
Bates-who seemed to be in
possession of later information
from Washington than was
Judge McKean-discovered
that the Courts treasury was
in painful impecunious con.
dition, and the prosecution
could not 60 on. He accord.
ingly secured a continuance of
the cases, and posted off to
Washington. About this time
a decided Mormon agitation
for the admission of Utah as q
State is observable. Instruc-
tions forwarded from Washing.
ton to Judge Mexican, order
ing him to accept bail in the
cases of Brigham and his apos-
ties. The Judge still strange.
ly obtuse, denies the motion
and will loose his official head
for his temerity. The milk in
this huge mormon cocoanut is
just here: Grant and Brigham
7 Young are co.conspirators.
The party of the first part
agrees to lend his aid to secure
the admission of Utah in
defence of the new apportion-
ment law of Congress, and to
back Brigham against United
States Courts. In consideration
of which the party of the
second part agrees to carry the
electoral vote of the new State
for Grant--and electoral votes
are just now an object of con-
siderable interest to Mr.. G.,
more, in fact, than is the sup.
of polygamy. In ful,
fllment of this contract it is
to-day given out from Wash
ington that the Mormon pros
ecutions are to be discontinued.
The rest will follow in due
time.

The Ironton Journal, of the
25th ult., says, a few days
since sixteen German saloon
keepers of that city met and
formed an association of mu-
tual protection. They agreed
to sell nothing but lager beer
and wine, nor even these bev-
erages to an intoxicated per-
son or to habitual drunkards, a
list of whom is furnished each
member of the society. Should
a member, who has obeyed the
constitution and bylaws of the
society, be mulctsd in dam
ages by the courts each mem
Der will bear an equal share in
the payment of them.
