A POLYCAMIsT SENTENCED.

George Reynolds, of Salt Lake, re-
Gently convicted of polygamy. was SEN
fenced yesterday by Chief Justice White,
of Utah, to two years Imprisonment
and $500 fine. The case was appealed to
the Supreme Court, pending the decis-
ion of which Reynolds was released on
$4,000 bail. This, we believe, is the
only instance in which polygamist
has been convicted and sentenced in
Utah. 1t seems strange, however, that
Brigham Young, the head and front of
this peculiar and debasing social sys-
tenn, should be permitted to practice 1t
with IMMUNITY while one of the lesser
lights of the Latter Day Saints is ar
rested, tried, convicted and sentenced.
Now that jury has been found with
sufficient tirmness to find q verdict of
guilty in a trial for polygamy, and Utah
has u Chief Justice who pronounces
sentence in accordance with the verdict,
q reasonable hope may be entertained
that justice will hot be swerved from its
course, that the laws will be enforced,
and that the stain Of this relic OF bar
barism. which has so long befouled the
fair fields of Utah, will be effsctually
wiped out.

The New Political Order.
The Herald this morning publishes
a Text of the constitution of the order
of the American Union, a secret order
which it is alleged has been used for
controlling election in the interest of
President Grants Administration; al
leges that President Grant, Post
master Jewell. and ex.Speaker Blaine
are members of the order, besides
many other prominent men in politics.
1t also asserts that the orders is in the
hands of Grant and Blaine, and has for
its aim decided persistent social and
political war on all Roman Catholics in
the country. 1t opposes extension
of churches, prevents Catholic citizens
from holding offices, works generally
in favor of the reelection of Grant,
who will be run by the order for the
third term. Most of the members Of
the Postofiices and Custom-houses are
said to be members of the order. The
Constitution of the order opposes the
division of the School Fund; pledges
itself to repel all aggressions against O
Republican form of Government. A
remnant of the order was organized in
1867, with the avowed purpose of dis
franchising the Roman Catholics. Its
national Government is called the SEN
ate, while State organizations are
styled Legislatures, and these latter
are divided into subordinate councils.
Speaker Blaine was initiated privately.

INDICTED WHISKY SELLERS.
EDITOR BULLETIN = There is not much
OF interest TRANSPORTING In this county just
now. Last week our county court was
In session, and there was some excite
ment among the whisky dealers, good
many OF them having been indicted for
selling whisky without license. Some
Of the parties indicted fearing the result
Of a trial ut home, asked for and obtained
changes of venue. Several OF these cases
were sent to Cairo, others to Saline
county, and one or two to Massac. One
individual, DR.. Speasc, Of Sanbourn, In
this county, toed the mark. plead guilty
and was sentenced to twenty days inn
prisonment IN the county Jail. This Is
the first instance in this county where n
person has been imprisoned TOR an oflensc
Of this kind under the new
liquor law, which went into
force on the first Of July. 1874.
COAL DEPOSITS.
Johnson county is developing a goodly
number Of coal deposits. We now have
mines in operation at three different
points Sanbourn, Tunnel Hill and New
Burnsitles. Of the quality Of the coal OBJ.
tanned at Sanbourn am unable to speak
but Tunnel Hill and New Burnsides coal
is said to be far superior to the Saline
county, or Raum Station coal. Mr.. John
Dupont Is the proprietor Of the New
Burnsides mines. and Is now delivering
coal TO parties here by the carload a,
twelve cents per pushed.
THE TOBACCO AND CORN cRors.
The tobacco crop OF this county was
never before better. nor half so large
and should the frost "hold orr for shor,
time longer-say one weck--thc great
bulk of 1t will be taken care of in good
condition. The tobacco grown this season
il OF excellent quality. and will be sure to
bring good prices when marketed.
The corn crop will be good. both rs to
quality and quantity.
I POLITICS.
Politically there is no excitement here
Probably people are too much occupied
with chills and fever to pay attention to
politics. The offices to be- filled this fall
are those of county treasurer and colcc
tor. and surveyor. For the former there
are some six candidates, but as it ha.
been determined TO have scrub race
and allow as many as choose to enter tn.
| track, not much interest Is being taker
in the contest. except by the candidate,
themselves and their particular friends
For surveyor no one has yet been IN
nounced.
THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
The Harker-Kuykendall contested elcc
ton case will in all probability be dis

illegal votes were cast there is no doubt.
and il is also certain that u very decided
majority of those illegal votes were cast
for Maj. Kuykendall. The contest ex-
