for the prisoner. George Reynolds. aud by
Attorney General Dcvens for tho United
States. Reynolds who il Mormon. was
indicted By the Grand Jury in 1876 for having
t:acsed polygsrHbns marriage. Upon his plea Of
not guilty ne was tried in the District Court Cor tho
Territory of Utah and convicted. Upon appeal to
the Territorial Snnreile Court the judgment of the
lower tribunal Wa affirmed. and the prisoner there
npon appsalcd to the Supreme Court Of the United
States on writ az error.
The erxors assigned are very numerous, but only
one Of them involves q question Of general public
interest. namelywhcther the United States Congress
has the constitutional right to prohibit polygamous
marriages In the Territories 1t contendcd by the
counsel for the prisoner that poygamy is enjoyed
as u religious duty and held as an article Of
faith by the sect to which the latter belongs and that
Congress is forbidden by the first amendment to the
constitution Ito make any Law respecting an estab
lisheut Of religion TO prohibit the free exercise
thereof" Hc argued that polygamy differed from
other criminal bences. in that it had evil intent,
and quoted from the Old Testament from Sir Thomas
Browne and from John Stuart Mill to show that it had
not been considered Q crime By many pure and emf
nens men.
Attorney General Devens. OF the counsel for the
United States, urged. in reply, that interpre-
tation Of the constitution which would restrain Con-
gross from attaching penalty to the crime Of poly
gamy account Of its being article Of religious
faith. would also restrain it from attaching penalty
to any other crime which might be sanctioned
by religion: that under this rigid inter
pretation Of the constitution sect of East
Indian Thugs who should settle in the Territories
might commit murder with impunity on the ground
that it was sanctioned and enjoined by their system
of religious belief He closed with an eloquent and
impressive reference to the well known Mountain
Meadow massacre by the Mormon "Avenging Angels"
as an illustratioof the fanatic extremes to which
men unrestrainedNby law might be carried under
mistaken conviction OF religious duty.

THE GROWN or MEXICO.

The regular monthly meeting Of the Long Island
Historical Society held ut tho econd Presby-
teran Church. of Fulton anG Clinton streets,
Brooklyn last night After the passage of resolution
expressive Of respect OF the society for the memory
Of the late William Cullen Bry ant, Mr.. John Bgelow
read a paper entitled "The Heir to the Imperial
Crown Of Mexico" He said that attention had
lately been directed to Mexico and its recent
history by the announcement that the son Of
Angel de Sturbid had entered the military
school at woolwica England for the purpose Of ac-
quiring knowledge of military life. The lecturer
then sketchcd short history OF Mexico from the
time OF Cortes $50 years since. to 1854. when Maxi
milan, the Archduke Of Austria assumed the crown
of Mexico, under the title Of Maximlan I. Mr..
Bigclow said that il was in the month Of December
1867 while he was resident in Paris ~ the
diplomatic represents ntative of the United States,
that he received note from Mr. Seward requesting
him to meet the mother Of the son who had been
adopted by Maxnan as heir to the throne, and to
render her any service he could that would not tres
pass upon his official duty. He asked him to
do this inasmuch she was native OF the
United States, and her maiden name Alice
Green, and she had married Augustine Itnr-
bde NIr. Bigelow then detailed with considerable
tenderness of expression the anxiety of this lady for
the good Offices OF the Emperor of the French to OBJ
tain for her from Maxmilan the recovery of her son.
she having found that her mothers love would not
enable her to keep the agreement entered into with
Maxmuan TO abandon him. The French Minister
of Foreign Affairs declined to intercedc. on tho
ground that contract had been, entered
into. and that his government could not
interfere in domestic affairs. The interview OF this
lady with the Empress Charlotte when the latter ar
rived in Paris her mission to the Emperor and Gu
her way to Rome to see The Pope. then described
and the unwillingncss Of tho Empress to urge upon
Macmillan the giving up OF the child.
The lecture closed with account of the re-
turn of Msxmlan to queretaro and his execution
on the 10th of June, 1867.
