There is one thing, Mr., Speaker,
which is especially desired 10y all the
people, and that is peaGe--general
peace between all sections, with all

the first step that has to be taken to
that end--the very first step, and moth

Credit has been claimed for what has

POLNGAMY uIAu

We were not aware until reading
over the message of Governor Emory
to the Utah Legislature, that that body,
with only one single exception, are
polygamist. That such an overwhelm-
ing majority could be elected to this
popular branch of the Territorial Go v-
eminent very forcibly illustrates the
power of the Mormons and the weak
ness of the Gentiles. The Governor
had most delicate task to perform in
recommending to such body the abo-
lition of this blot upon our civilization,
but he did it very neatly in this wise
A peculiar characteristic of the So
cial condition of this Territory aud one
that IL affecting the Interests of the
people Is polygamy. In meeting this
question openly and fairly can but
regard 1t as a crime prohibited by the
laws OF our country, and that it does
violence to the accepted principles of
Christianity. The country at large
recognizes 1t as blot upon our civil
cation. Our National Congress has en-
acted laws for its punishment and to
prevent its continuance. To the pres
ent time this law has not been practic-
ally enforced, and | am led to believe
that polygamy or plural marriages are
of as frequent occurrence as at any
time in the history of the Territory.
However this may be, / have not the
means of knowing, as the marriage
ceremonies are performed by the !
Church and are only known to its

For APPELLATE JUDGES :
C0KE'S OPPONENT.

William Morton Chambers, notori-
Gus as having been impeached and
tried for his high crimes and INSIDE
meanors, has been nominated by the
Republican convention for Governor.
He is man utterly devoid Of princi-
pie, but n speaker of considerable
ability. If he canvasses the State, us
his ambition will doubtless prompt
him to do, he will stir up things gen
orally.
Chambers is at present District
Judge of the First Judicial District,
composed of one county--Orange--to
which he was confined by an enact
ment of the Fourteenth Legislature,
after failure TO convict him by the
requisite two-thirds vote.
E. }. Davis said he was too poor to
run for Governor, and that he would
draw back and let his friend, William
Morton Chambers, of impeachment
fame, make the race.

asked to run against Hubbard for

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CON
VENTlON.

The selection of Cincinnati over
Philadelphia as the point for holding
the Republican National Convention
is conceded to have been a triumph for
Morton over Blaine. The call for the
convention says:
In calling the conventions for the
election ofdelegates, the committees of
the several States are recommended to
invite all Republican electors and all
other voters, without regard to past po-
litical differences or previous party
affiliations, who are opposed to reviv-
ing sectional issues, and desire to pro-
mote friendly feeling and permanent
harmony throughout the country, 10y
maintaining and enforcing the c0nst-
tutional rights of every citizen, includ-
ing the full and free exercise of the
right of suffrage without intimidation
and without fraud who are in favor of
the continued prosecution of all official
dishonesty and of an economical au-
minlstration of government by honest,
faithful and capable officers; who are
in favor of making such reforms in the
government as experience may from
time to time suggest; who are opposed
to impairing the credit of the nation
by depreciating any of its obligations,
and III favorof sustaining in every way
the national faith and financial honor:
who hold the common school as the
nursery of American Liberty, and
should be maintained absolutely free
from sectarian control; who believe
That for the promotion of these ends
the direction of the government should !
be continued to be contided to those
who adhere to the principles of l776 !
ana support them rs incorporated in
The Constitution and the laws; and
who are in favor of recognizing and
the fundamental ami |
versary principle of national unity in
his centennial of the birth of the re-
public.

dorsed by the late Radical Convention
in that city. That high toned and
ardorous body thus supports the ground
upon which the IeteWaiM planted

That we denounce the Constitution

tin, and now submitted to the people
OF Texas for ratification, as unfit TO be-

Because the said Constitution seeks
to cheat the people with specious pro-
visions in relation to schools, while it
fails to secure an efficient system of
public free schools which is the great
est necessity of the state, the surest

Because the said Constitution pro-
poses II judiciary system which, in its
practical operation will be cumber-

expensive, injurious to the poorer

SUBSTITUTE For HANGING

The Scientific Aneyic0n discusses
hanging as a mode of capital punish
ment, and proposes substitution O.
electricity for the gallows. The light
ming stroke causes the most certain
and painless death known to science
A powerful discharge of electricity
into the body of the condemned from
battery and Ruhmkorff coil would
amount to the same thing in extin-
gushing life. This is the way in
which the Scientific Amerjcon wonld
have executions conducted: ..
The battery and coil should be OF
sufficient strength to deliver an eight
een-inch spark. In case of there being
more than one person to be executed,
all OF the condemned would be con-
Quoted with all due ceremony to the
place of execution. the left hand of
one man handcuffed to the right hand
OF his nelghbor, and the conducting
wire fastened to bracelets on the disen-
gagged wrists OF both criminals, if only
two are to be executed, or to the wrists
OF the outer men, If more than that
number are to suffer. The culprits
being seated 50 as to be seen by the le-
gal witnesses, the sheriff presses
button. The current is instantly es.
tablished from the coil, passes through
the bodies of the men, and all is over.
The same ignominy which attaches to
the gallows would be transferred 10
this mode of destruction, while the De-
culiar death by lightning which
among the ignorant of all nations and
ages, has been the subject of profound
superstition, would, without doubt,
through its very incomprehensiblity
and mystery, Undue the uneducated
masses with deeper horror.
We had suggested in an is.
sue or two back that in very
extreme cases more severe
punishment might be melted out, and
that was to condemn the poor wretch
to read the Houston 7eteg,uphs arti-
Giles on the Constitution. We are,
however, very favorably impressed
with the method pointed out by the
'Scdentttlc american, and are inclined
to think, since reading its suggestions
that the more violent mode pointed
out by US should succumb to the light |
ming stroke.

taxed and deeply indebted cities il,

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

From the Eureka Sentinel Of March a.
A private dispatch from Carson yester-
day brings the information that the Su-
preme Court has declared the criminal
jury law. passed at the last session
OF the Legislature, unconstitutional.
Whether or not all OF the judges con-
Cured in the decision is not stated, but
We take it for granted that Judge Beatty
dissented, inasmuch as be is understood
to have drafted the bill. It will be re-
membefed that Judge Rives, Of Lincoln,
and Judge Rising. OF Storey. among the
ablest OF the District judges in the State,
some months since, ruled that the law
was void. Judge Rising, We believe.
went 80 far, in fact, as to adhere to the
old law, requiring all criminal cases to
be tried In conformity with that statute.
Il is impossible at this writing
to determine the full scope and
effect OF the decision just promul-
gated by the Supreme Court. but there
is reason to believe that 1t leaves the
State without jury law Of any dsscrip-
ton for the trial OF criminal causes. In
the absence OF the text Of the decision it
is also a matter of uncertainty as to
what will be the status of the large
number of persons convicted and SEN
fenced under what has been generally
termed the struck juryl law. Certain il
is at least that all cases wherein appeals
have been taken will be remanded for
new trials. All things considered, we
think it subject Of regret that the Law
has been set aside. There can be no
question that il worked we'll, at the same
time proving measure of great economy
In counties of large area in the eastern
part Of the State. some of which had
hitherto been almost bankrupted in the
trial of criminal cases. We shall await
the receipt of the decision with no little
| interest.
