The Supreme Court of the United
Stetes has affirmed the decision of
the Utah Courts in a case involving
the whole question of poiygamy with
in the territory. The decision of
the Utah Courts begin against the
plaintiff, Reynolds, charged with con-
tracing a bigamous marriage, he
carried his cas- to the Supreme
Court on a writ of error. The opin-
ion of the court was delivered by
Chief Justice Waite, and was to the
effect that the plea Of religious on
viction was not a valid defense; that
Congress exercised a power belong
ing to it and vested in it under the
constitution in passing laws for the
suppression of polygamy. 1t would
seem strange that there could be any
doubt on the subject, but for the
plea set up that such laws are an in
reference with religious belief, and
therefore unconstitutional.

The salary grab act was signed by
the President and became a law on
the Sd of March, 1873, the day be.
fore Grant began his second term OF
Office. His salary was doubled by it,
while that of every other official Of
noteworthy Importance, from Con.
gresham down to clerks in the De.
partments, was materially increased.
Butler and Randall, representing the
Republicans and Democrats, wanted
to have the salary of Congressman
fixed at $4,000 a year, but 1880
was finally settled upon. The bill
was given a retroactive effect, how.
ever, SO that S., 900 could be claimed
by each member as back pay for the
two preceding years. The regular
salary had been $4,000 a year, and
the pay-rolls had been signed, an6

1t is beginning to be suspected in
Washington that something more
ought to be done about the Freed
mans bank, which broke some four
years ago. 1t was turned over to the
Commissioners, and these with the
attorneys and agents have absorbed
something over three hundred thou
sand dollars. while the victims have
been waiting around for dividends.
1t is beginning to dawn upon some
of those who are responsible for this
condition of things that the suffering
depositors cannot expect any divi-
dends if the support of a lot of para
sites continues necessary. But per
haps the depositors ought not to be
led to expect too much.-PhHadel-

Five members of the Blaine Com
mittee have gone to New Orleans to
collect evidence of the alleged cleo
ton outrages in Louisiana. The
Republicans are not anxious to make
inquiries anywhere except in Louis
lana and South Carolina. Admit
ting that there were Irregularities in
these two States, it would only show
that the difficulties complained of
were of a purely local and transient
character. And it is quite remark
able that the two States which the
Republicans complain of the loudest
were the longest and the most CON-
pletely under their exclusive control,
and were the very last to escape from
carpet-bag misrule. This single fact
in itself tells powerfully against that
party. The probabilities are ten
against one that if any violence has
been committed in either State the
Republicans or negroes were at the
b; tom of tits instigators, if not
perpetrators.
