The fourth week Of the legislative
session opened to-day, with promise
Of being strictly one of business. ph4
present state of the atmosphere has a
thermom-trical effect upon the lower
county delegates, who vehemently as
sert "if this ere weather goes on we're

effect comes in this wise: That the
nearer the seasonable days approach
the more anxious are our local Cincin-

summer labors, and consequently the
greater amount OF business done.

In til. House an invitation was reat
desiring the presence Of the Legislature
at the Temperance meeting which is Il
be held on Thursday evening next. II
say the least of it, it met with rather
cool reception. When it was le@d th'
members acted as though they wer'
about to handle something hot, some
thing that might blight their rising am

ROASTED ILIVE WHILE DRUNK
Horrible Fate Of an Outcast Woman
in Savannah, Georgia.

A white woman named Margaret
Garrell, living in Savannah, was
roasted to death on Tuesday the
7th instant under peculiarly horri.
bio circumstances. 1t appears that
since tho death Of her husband by
yellow fever, in 1876, tho woman,
who was between forty-fvo and fifty
years Of age, had been living in tho
house alone. She ckou out q mis-
erablo existence by some unknown
means, tho premises boing in Il
frightfully filthy condition and
barren Of every comfort. About s
o'clock on Tuesday morning Il neigh
Dor detected tho smell of smoke
and requiring to tho house saw
Margaret Carroll lying partly on
tho stcop and partly in tho door
way, slowly roasting. Her clothes
were nearly burned off hor person,
and her body was almost charred
mass. In the corner of tho room,
near tho fire place, he found a mid
die aged woman crouching on the
floor in stupolicd condition from
liquor, She was unable to answer
any questions, and seemed perfectly
oblivious Of tho presence of tho
nearly cromated body Of hor com
panion. She was repeatedly ques-
toned, but could give no informa i.
ton as to how tho woman caught
fire, or when, and despite all efforts
remained in maudlin state. On
the table and on the floor were
found remnants of a scanty lunch,
and also two soda water bottles, one
partly filed with the strongest and
meanest kinl Of liquor, Judging
from the smell, the other it is pre-
sumeI having been empticl by the
deceased and her friend. It is
supposed that the women had been
indulSing in u regular drunken
orgie all night, and after daylight
had become so stupcfied by drink as
to be unconscious Of their actions.
Margaret Garrell, tho woman who
was burned, was from appearances
seated Mt q small table upon which
u light was burning. and in her
drunken frenzy had probably
knocked the candle ovcr, and sot
fire to herself. Being utterly in
capable Of extinguishiug tho flames
she tumbled on the floor, and in u
scmi~unconscious condition crawled
to the doorway, in which she was
found, and was burned almost to a
crisp. The body was in a horrible
condition. and it was cvidont that
the unfortunate woman had been
gradually roasting for some time
before she was discovered.

POLIG-I -IIHY NOT EETGION.
What the United Statos Sup"eme Court
Says in tho Utah Case.

Guys III tu9 Juan case.
The following arc tho salient foat-
ures of tho recent decision Of the
United States Supreme Court in the
case of Reynolds, tho Utah polyga-
mist, against tho United States,
brought on final appeal:
The principal questions raised
are, first whether the first amends
ment to the Constitution prohibits
interference with religious practices
which are contrary to tho law of
the land, and second. is whether II
criminal a"tion can be justified By tho
plea of religious belief. This Court
holds that tho constitution guar
antee of religious freedom was not
intended to prohibit legislation in
respect to marriage, and that it is
within tho legitimate scope of tho
power of every civil government to
determine whether polygamy or
monogamy shall be the law of social
life under its dominion. Tho laws
Of Congress for tho suppression of
the former are therefore valid and
constitutional. With regard to
the second question, it is held that
q criminal practice cannot be excus-
cd on tho ground of religious con-
victions. TO permit this would be
to make religious doctrines superior
to the law of the land, and in effect
to permit overy citizen to become q
law unto himself. Government
could exist only in namo under such
circumstances. The only dofence of
the accused in this case is his belief
that tho law should not havo boen
enacted. 1t matters not that his
belief was o part of his religion, it
was still belief and nothing more.
The judgment of the lower court,
in which tho prisoner was found
guilty, is therefore affirmed. Tho
Chief Justice delivered tho opinion.
