The NIormOns.

The government has now the best oppor-
tunity ever presented for solving the Nor
mon question without giving any color to
charge of religious persecution. To punish
an atrocious crime is one thing, to prosecute
q religion is quite another 1t may be pos
sible to extenuate polygamy by pleading
the example of the patriarchs, but there can
be no pretext for consecrating treachery and
murder. 1t would be absurd to pretend that
John D. Lee was the only Mormon responsible
for the Mountain Meadows massacre. He had
large body of accomplices who were with
him on the ground and stained their hands
with innocent blood, and other more eau
tious but not less guilty accomplices who,
while instigating the massacre, exerted all
their cunning to screen themselves from de-
lection So far as they can be identified
and their crime proved they should all
suffer alike. There was no justification for
taking the life Of Lee which does not make
it duty to hunt down and punish his ac-
completes. If Brigham Young was the
chief accomplish he, above all the
rest, should be made to feel the
severity of the law. The presumption Of
his guilt does not rest merely on Lees
confession, although that alone is strong
evidence, but also on the nature and consti-
tuition of the Mormon hierarchy and the
position of Brigham Young rs its directing
head. It is one of the most absolute des-
potisms that ever existed. None of his
subordinates would have dared to take SO
important and compromising step as the
massacre without full assurance of his sane
ton. With the craft and cunning in which
he is SO great an adept he took pains to
mask his agency in that diabolical crime,
but his completely after the fact is estab-
lishcd by clear evidence, and it is NOR
ally certain that he instigated the crime
which he took infuriate pains to shield
from exposure and punishment The pre-
sumption against him is so strong that he
ought to be Immediately indicted and put
on his defence If the Mormon leaders are
made to pay the just penalty Of their crimes
the aggressive intolcrant fanaticism by
which the community is distinguished will
slacken for want Of energetic directing
power. The Mormon community will be
in tho condition of an army which has lost
all its generals. 1t will afterward make but
a feeble resistance to the enforcement Of
wholesome laws, and in less than ten years
the Mormons will be as tractable citizens as
the members of any other religious sect.
There is now an excellent opportunity to
bring them into subsection to the laws with
out meddling with their bastard religion.
We trust the prosecuting officers may receive
such directions from Washington as they
cannot neglect or disregard. 1t is high time
that this foul ulcer were dssected out of the
body polite.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-03-27

and deeply alarmed at the dangers to which
the peace of the country and the very exist
ence of our institutions are exposed by the
fierce and inscriptions pressure for
Office. and which will rest more content
when it sees the amendment safely
through Congress. AS an administration
measure it cannot fail. for it can expect OPP
position only from the administration side.
But as an administration measure it has the
best chances of success while the present
era Of good feeling lasts, and at an extra
session, where it will not be delayed or
swamped by multiplicity of other meas
ures, as would pretty surely happen if it
did not come up before next December.
We hope the President will strongly re-
commend at the extra session the adop-
ton Of one-term amendment. We
hear a summer session objected to on
the score of economy but there is nothing
in that plea. The people will bear the bur-
den cheerfully if Congress will give them
this reform, because they will then see re-
moved one of the most subtle, but one of
the most dangerous obstacles to a genuine,
thorough and lasting reformation Of the civil
service.
