Butler to the Rescue.


Butler to tho Rescue.
From the tenor of our Washington de-
spatches on the Credit Mobilier Investigations
and their probable result, it is evident that the
Senators and members of Congress are unwill-
ing to make an example of their delinquent
confreres. At least it appears they are
disposed to make a scapegoat Of one or
two in order to save the rest and their
own credit. The victim marked for sac
rifce seems to be Cakes Ames and per-
haps Brooks may be another; the former not
only because he is guilty as the heaviest plum
derer of the Pacific Railroad and the public
and as the arch tempter of congressman, but
especially because he has exposed the rascality
of his colleagues and seriously damaged the
republican party, and the latter because he
is democrat, and by Furnishing him the
moral delinquency would appear to be equal
lied between the two political parties. The
Offering up of one or both Of these honorables
as Precipitation to an outraged public and to
cover up the sins of others seems to be the
disposition Of the investigating committees
and of Congress. It may be, however, that
only one will have to suffer for all, and that
one be Cakes Ames. His punishment may
be expulsion from Congress but for the rest.
except Brooks, perhaps, moderate dose OF
censure, which would hurt no one, appears to
be the remedy designated. It is possible,
however, that a report Of the Investigations
may be laid before Congress without any
expression of opinion or censure, leaving that
body to take what course it may please. In
that case and in view of the early termination
of this Congress- very little, probably, if any,
thing, will be DONE There are so many
prominent and leading republicans involved
that Congress, to save the party from odium,
is likely to use the whitewash brush as far as
possible. .- 81 X" I, $3.50 $3.50.
would disappoint the country. Nothing
short of cutting out this great national
ulcer and disgrace by furnishing all the
guilty parties, no matter how high they may
stand, will satisfy the people. And here,
looking at the timidity and hesitation of Con-
gress, is fine opportunity for some bold,
talented and patriotic member to insist upon
the fullest investigation and the signal punish
ment of every one that is tainted. We know
of no man in Congress that combines in HIM
self these necessary qualities for such action
more than General Butler He has shown
himself to be fearless and patriotic on many
occasions, and here is one on which he can
render great service to the country. There is
no question as to his ability for the work. No
one is moro capable. We call upon General
Butler, then, to lead off in purging Congress
and the Republic of this great disgrace, and
upon the patriotic members Of both parties to
aid him.

1t is folly, then. ON the part of the Presi-
dent to talk of enforcing the laws against the
Mormons, whom, under the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States, the only
laws which he can enforce in Utah are the
Territorial laws of Brigham Young. The
trouble began with the organic law of Con-
gress establishing the Territory, and in this
organic law it still exists. Reconstruction is
the only remedy, we repeat, which will meet
the necessities of the Casa new law from
Congress, strictly defining and limiting the
power of the Territorial government, and
broadly and clearly affirming the equal rights
of citizens, the method of conducting cleo
tons, including the arrangement of the cleo
ton districts, the jurisdiction of the national
and local Courts, the drawing of jurors, and
the pains and penalties attached to crimes.
including polygamy. DC. We are glad to hear
that Senator Frelinghuysen is engaged in the
preparation of bill of this character, and that
he is assisted in it by the Delegate from Mon
tana, wh9 appears, from his valuable knowl-
edge Of Mormondom. to be thoroughly quail
fed for the work It is to be hoped that Con-
gress will no longer trife or temporize with
this important subject, but that the two
houses will speedily agree upon an act of re-
construction which will enable the President
to enforce the laws in Utah az in the other
Territories and which. while establishing
justice, equal rights and republican govern
ment over the Territory, will make it the duty
and the interest of the Mormons to proceed to
the abolition of that abominable ''twin relic
of barbarism," their "beastly institution Of
polygamy," as condition precedent to the
promotion of their Territory to the dignity Of
State.

ton, delivered by Chief Justice Chase, was to
the effect that under the organic law Of the
Territory the Probate Courts established by
the Territorial Legislature were lawful, and
that the jurisdiction assumed by the United
States aut horities in the premises involved an
unlawful aggression upon the vested rights Of
the Territory. Hence the immediate release
of the aforesaid Mormon dignitaries who had
been held as prisoners by the United States
authorities; and hence from that day to this,
from the continuance of the conflict between
the national and the local authorities in Utah,
there has been, practically, in many cases. no
enforcement therein of the criminal laws of
the general or local government
The decision of Chief Justice Chase was
heavy disappointment to the Gentiles of Utah,
and q source Of great rejoicings among the
Mormons and it was, moreover, complete
reversal Of what to that day had been gener-
ally understood and accepted as the sovereign
jurisdiction Of the United States Courts in the
Territory. Nevertheless, that decision is the
supreme law On the subject, and 80 the ques-
ton still recurs, What nc The laws which
President Grant is seeking to enforce agai.sss
the Mormons? Clearly law OF Territorial
reconstruction from Congress is the only rem
edy for Utah. From the disclosures made in
the recent speeches in the House OF Mr..
Claccett, the Delegate from Montana, the pres
ent Territorial government Of the Mormons is
the closest political corporation and the most
rigid srd comprehensive religious depotism
tolerated by any civilized people. The worst
of il u.s. this fact appears to be established from
the Territorial statutes of Utah, recited and ex-
planned by Mr.. Claggett, and of the character
of which, before he produced them on the
floor of the House, perhaps not twenty MEM
bers of that body had had any conception.
They do, indeed, make the Territorial laws OF
Utah the completest chain of Q comprehensive

munity, and, in the language Of the learned
gentleman from Montana, these Mormon stat
utes in their operation regulate everything
