Argument ia the Utah Case.

WASHINGTON, November 16.
Secretary Schurz will probably call
upon General Sherman, through the
Secretary OF War, for an explanation
Of the severe charges against the
management Of the Indian Bureau. Gen.
Sheridan seems, in fact. to have made a
slip in his report relative to the removal OF
the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail bands
from the Missouri river. This, General
Sheridan severely condemns, as in the in
terest Of traders and spectators. 1t hap
pens that the removal was made against
the wish and protest of the Interior Depart
ment, by the direct order OF the President,
at the request Of the Indians themselves,
who threatened hostilities unless permitted
to remove to o reservation OF their own
selection. The remova was made upon
the recommendation and under the direc-
ton OF General Crook. n Of the army Of
fcers who had been the most successful in
his conduct Of Indian affairs. Secretary
Schurz, in his forthcoming report, will
have a special paper on the Cheyenne out
break, in which it will be mentioned that
the Indians were not only fed in the
Agency, but left it we'll supplied with sub
sistencc.
In the Supreme Court, to-day, the argu-
ment was continued in h Utah case.
Biddle, the prisoners counsel, contended
that the Federal Government has no right
to interfere with the purely domestic rela-
tons Of the inhabitants Of a State or Ter
ritory; that it is not the custodian OF the
morals Of the country, and can no more
rightfully prescribe q certain form OF mar
riage than it can instruct parents in their
duties and relations to their children.
Bigamy, he urged, or polygamy, is not an
offense under the common law. 1t is an
artificial crime, created by legislative en-
actment, and involving, when practiced as
q religious duty, no moral guilt. He
denied the right Of Congress to make it a
crime, and closed with an appeal to the
court to render strict justice to the pris-
oner, however obscure an individual, and
however austorely they might personally
regard the marital relations into which he
had entered.

CHICAGO, November 16.
The "Inter-Ocean's' Washington corre-
spondent says: The radical Republicans
now here agree that the Presidents views
have greatly changed. They congratulate
one another upon the fact that there need
be no longer q question Of the Presidents
Republicanism. District Attorney Leonard
has gppe back to New Orleans with full in
structions to prosecute all political bull
dosers and iptimidators, and with power to
protect witnesses. He understands that
the President and Attorney General are
very much in earnest. and says his instruc-
ions could not be more positive or en-
phatic. The President expects Governor
Nichols to cooperate.
