The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1878-06-19

Between the reasons which produced the
resolutions yesterday and the resolutions
themselves there is rs much difference as
there is between the declaration of this
house and that of the last house. The rea-
sons were to allay an apprehension concern
ing The people which the people do not feel,
which resides solely in the little minds of
small politicians and which has been excited
in them by the def arts of their opponents
1t was apprehended by timid men in con-
gress that the people feared they were bent
on something vaguely called Mexicauiza-
ton or satirically called revolution. That
apprehension. was accomplished through
successful and systematic defamation of
the victims of hefraud by the perpetrators
of the fraud. The statement sounds ridicu-
lous, but only because it perfectly fits a
ridiculous democratic recognition of a panic
manufactured by republican organs and pol
iticians. There was no movement and there
was no apprehension anywhere that demo
Gratis would seek to eject Hayes or revolu-
tionize the presidency mid-term. No such
effort could be made except by democrats.
No democrats meant to make IL. Their pro-
fuse profession OF almost abject disclaimer,
under radical goading that they never
meant il, and never would mean it. was SUI
perhuous poltroonry on the part of demo
Gratis. They thought TO spike an enemy's
gun, which was only loaded with wind and
mud. They deserve Just what they get
another broadside from whole battery OF
utilization, shottsd with the charge in
which is too much truth, that they were
forced 10 resolve as they did resolve through
craven unintelIigence. We are in favor of
having democrats 10 the next house who
will not be prescribed for or bullIed by their
opponents The pusillanimity of this house
forbids such hope of it.
Now as to the resolutions themselves:
They cover a sheer superfiuity. They could
only become pertinent in the event of case
which does not have existence now. Were
there any organized movements in the coun-
try TO turn out the unelected persons. or had
any persons in congress exhibited petitions
which advertised any noticeable purpose or
possibility of turning out the unelected per-
sons. declaration of the house against such
q scheme, on grounds of law or public policy

tive, because called for, Moreover, as to the

The house took two votes TO quiet title in
the presidency matter yesterday. The first
was on resolutions of a republican member
named Burchard, of Illinois, that whereas
at the joint meeting of the two houses of the
Forty-fourth congress, r. b. Hayes was de-
clared elected president and W. A. Wheeler
vice president, therefore 40 subsequent con-
gress and neither house can revise that action
or aDnul or disregard the titles therefrom
arising, and that any effort to do so would
be revolutionary and is disapproved by the
house. This was passed by 215 votes
AGAINST p, among the nays being A M.
Bliss, of the Fourteenth Brooklyn district
The second vote was on report OF the
majority of the Judiciary committee, made
by Congressman Hartridge, of Georgia, ad-
verse to the Blair memorial and the Kimmell
bill TO form title court to try the issue of
the presidency, in which the state OF Mary
land complained she was wrongly deprived
of the effect of her vote by fraud. The COM
mittee's report first deals i'm detail with the
two measures referred to; it declares the
reason why it considers them impracticable.
1t then goes into the question of the presi-
dency title at large, and declares that no dis
turbance of the title should take place, but
that investigation calmly, carefully and
vigorously conducted" should be made into
the frauds, as due ID this generation
our government" to the end that
legal and constitutional means of punish
ment of the guilty parties be administered,
and "the preservation and perpetuation of
the evidence of their guilt be secured" so
that American people shall be protected
from the recurrence of their crime" The
vote on the resolution offered by the COM
mittee, which was akin to those offered by
Burchard, was-ayes, 234; nays Ia; among

THE FISHERY QUESTION.
Lord ssiisbury's Reply 10 secre'
larry Eyartss Latest Dispatch.


WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-Lord Sails.
bury's letter to Secretary Evarts dis
patch regarding the fishery question.
says the British Government will be
happy to furnish those proofs gathered
by Captain Sullivan. which Secretary
Evarts claims have not been seen by the
United States Government, and that the
British Government supposed those
proofs conclusive in the absence Of any
evidence like that which the Secretary
transmitted in his dispatch. He (Salis-
bury) therefore sends Captain Sullivan's
report. He had not intended in his
(Salisbury's) letter Of the Esd to lay
down the Law that 1t Is competent for
British authority to pass laws in addi-
ton to tho treaty binding American
fishermen within the three-mile limit.
The Secretary. however. would hardly
wish TO be understood as asserting that
England might not pass any
kind OF Law binding Americans who fish
in British waters. II. however. 1t be
admitted that Newfoundland legislators
have the right Of binding Americans
who fish within their waters by any laws
which do not c%ontrayene existing
treaties, II must be further conceded that
the duty Of determining the existence OF
any such contravention must DO under
taken by the two governments, and can
not be RENTED TO the discretion OF each
individual fisherman. For such q dis
c~retion, IL exercised ON u side. can
hardly be refused the other. II any
American fisherman may violently break
a law which he believes to be contrary
to the treaty, q Newfoundland fisherman
may violently maintain Il p he believes
il 10 be in accordance with the treaty.
A these points in issue are frequently
subtle aud require considerable legal
knowledge. nothing but confusion and
disorder could arise in this Interpretation
Of the treaty.
Her Majesty's Government prefer the
view that the law enacted by the legisla-
turs Of q country, whatever IL may be.
ought to be obeyed by natives and for
signers alike who are sojourning within
the territorial limits OF its jurisdiction.
but that II a law has been inadvertently
passed which Is in any degree or respect
at variance with rights conferred on for
eign powers by treaty, the correction OF
the mistake as committed at the earliest
period after its existence shall have been
ascertained and recognized. is matter Of
international obligation. IL is not e1.
plicitly stated in Mr.. Eyarts dispatch
that he considers any recent acts OF The
Colonial Legislature to be inconsistent
with the rights acquired by the United
States under the treaty OF Washington,
but II that is the ase Her Majesty's
Government will in u friendly spirit
consider any representations that he
may think 1t right to make upon the
subject, with the hope Of coming to u
satisfactory understanding. The dis
patch is most courteous and pleasant
throughout.

~roLYaAMY ON TRIAL

-
A very important case Is under con-
sideration by tho Supreme Court in
Washington. upon the decision OF which
the entire subject Of the illsgality OF
~polysamOus marriages depends. One
George Reynolds, a Mormon. was con
yicted in the District Court Of Utah. Of
what all civilized peoples call a crime.
polygamy. He appealed to the Supreme
Court of the Territory. and the convic-
ton was affirmed. He then took the
case to tho Supreme Court Of the United
States, and 1t is now being argued be-
fore that august tribunal. Attorney
Gen. Devens is conducting the case for
the Governmental person. and Reynolds
Is represented by some OF the brightest
legal lights Of the nation. The ground
upon which the p~olysamis, seeks to
evade criminal responsibility for his
plural marriage Is. that the Law prohibit.
ing polygamy is unconstitutional. in
that 1t Is a manifest interference with
the freedom Of religious convictions Of
the citizens Of the United States.
1t Is well that this case has come be-
fore the highest court in the land. II

OF religion. which we look upon ss one
OF the grandss, in our Constitution. !.

well that We should know 1t at once. II

proposition is q moustrous one. and
totally ut variance with the entire theory
OF our Government.
The essence OF religion Is its spiritual.
ity. and that Is. and should be. pro.
tected in perfect freedom by the Constr
tuition OF a free country. But when
ceremonials Of a beastly and degrading
nature are engrafied into q so-called
religion. which sap the springs OF pub
lie morality. and corrupt the fountains
OF purity, they can lay no claim to legal
protection. The good Of the whole peo-
pie is the stake for which Governments
play. and the crimes OF q few. perpe-
trated in the name Of religion can-
not be winked a, a, tho expense OF the
~wsll-beins Of the many. We feel as
sured that this Is tho view which will be
taken Of polygamy by the Supreme
Court. and thtst he conviction Of Reynolds
will DO reafirmei. Then the law officers
