Fvelisghuysen's Utah Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE follow
ing Is a synopsis Of Frelinghuysen's
Utah bill as reported In the Senate {:
On Saturday Frelinbuysen's Utah bill
was reported to the Senate from the
Judiciary Committee yesterday, with
amendments, which relate more to
matters Of detail than otherwise. As
1t now stands, It authorizes the APP
polntment Of Deputy United States
Marshals and Assistant District Attor-
neys for each judicial District Of the
Territory. The United States Marshal
Is required to make out a list of 100
male citizens Of the United States re-
siding In the Territory, and from these
grand and petit jurors are to DO drawn.
Each party, either in a civil or GRIM
inal case, shall be allowed six peremp-
tory challenges, but no challenge shall
be allowed on the ground that a jury
man has served at a previous term of
Court. These Jurors are to act In all
cases, arising either under the laws Of
the United States or Of the Territory.
All Probate Judges and Notaries Pub
10 ara to be appointed by the Governor
and subject to removal by him. The
Probate Courts will DO allowed 10 Try
civil cases involving not moro than
800, but not to exercise any criminal
jurisdiction, that being exclusively
lodged In the District Courts, which
have also exclusive original jurisdic-
ton In all actions for divorce, alimo-
ny, etc. The District Courts are also
declared to be Territorial Courts
In all cases arising under Territorial
laws. These provisions Of the bill, 1t
will DO seen, give the United States
Marshal the selection Of all juries in
the Territory. as there Is no restriction
upon his choice of names he sends to
the Clerk Of tho Court, and 1t also al
lows him to use the same jurymen In
different districts and term after term
In the same district. The bill also
proposes to take away from Probate
Courts the power to issue wrlts Of ha-
beas corpus. The bill repeats all Ter
rltorlal election laws, including COM
mon suffrage acts and forbids the nat
uralization Of persons living in or pro-
tecting bigamy or polygamy, and this
last provision Is not limited to Utah In
Its operation so that persons who here
after apply for naturalization In New
York or elsewhere must neither live
In or practice bigamy or polyg-
amy. 1t also provides for the
discharge from a Mormon marriage
In the same way as from a lawful mar
riage-that Is, on proof Of blgamy,
adultery OF polygamy-among the Ter
rltorial Acts which it is proposed to
annul by the bill, are an ordinance
Incorporating the Church Of Latter
Day Saints, the Judiciary Acts, Act'
for the organization and government
Of the militia, Act concerning property
rights Of married persons, all Acts In
cooperating cities and towns, all Acts
providing for election by the Legis-
lature Of the Territorial Marshal and
Attorney, General Auditor, Treas
urer, Surveyor General, Wardens aud
Directors of penitentiaries. All these
officers are to be appointed by the
Government. The bill Is M Of those
favored by the Republican Senatorial
caucus ; therefore 1t Is likely to come
up In that body this session. 1t will
hardly be acted upon in the House.
