EXCITEMENT AT SALT LAKE
CITY.

The agitation of the Mormons rs the
result of the decision Of the Supreme
Court, is even greater than was at first sup
posed it would be. There have been many
exciting times at Salt Lake City, but it is
believed that the Mormons were never
moro deeply stirred with alarm and ill.,
disnation than at present. Even the i'm
prisonment of Brigham Young upon an
indictment for crime did not asitate the
faithful more profoundly than have the
deliverance of the Supreme Court and the
apparent intention of the government to
enforce the law against polygymy. Brig
ham Youn. is dead, but Mormonism has
prospered, just as it had prospered while
he ruled the Saints with his iron will
There is no one of the prophets OF elders
whose loss the Church could not survive
The vulnerable point Of the system is
polygamy. Strike that, and tho life of
Mormonism is touched. Remove that
and tho faith of tho Latter-day Saints
fall. The Mormons realize this and the
present excitement is the result of the
recognition by the Mormon leaders of the
fact that polygamy must be preserved at
any hazard. AS VIC have previously said,
the axe is laid to the root of the tree, and
the topmost branch of Mormonism trem-
bles at the shock. Either the government
must recedc from the dcliver:lnce of the
Supreme Court, and permit the law to be
contcmptuously ignored, or Mormon pol
ycamy must be crushed out.

POT BESMUTTING THE KETTLE.

That pestilential moralist, Mr.. Charles
c. Fulton, by courtesy styled " Proprie-
tor" of the journal that "has more sub
scribers than any other paper published
south of Mason and Dixon's line," is one
of the prosecuting witnesses against f..
B. Tyler, the Baltimore postmaster
Tyler is charged with loose moral, as
well as inefficient executive administra-
ton of his office. Unfortunate as the
Baltimore postmaster may be in the pos
sible discovery of his little pcccadilios,
still he is exceedingly fortunate in the
character Of his prosecutors, if many OF!
them are like Fulton. Excellent author
ity as the latter is upon all such drliratc
matters, yet in this particular case he
labors under peculiar disqualification,
since being himself partiecps rriminis, he
has every inducement to tell more than
he knows. Besides, to Fulton, belongs
the official paternity of Tyler. and like
father like son is an axiom always true.
A little over two years ago, Mr.. c. c.
Fulton claimed the special credit of this
Tyler's appointment, and urged it i'll some
such conversation as the following:
Fulton Clog. LET me caution you, Mr..
President, against the danger of Cres-
wellism in Maryland. What Grantism was

men of the South shall come to the front
in defence of the conservative ideas for
which, in the Democratic caucus
men like Mr.. Bayard contended at the
close Of the last Congress and during the
extra session.
CHINA has put herself in she hands of
Gen. Grant in reference to the quarrel
with Japan over the Loochoo Islands, and
if Japan is willing to make concessions
Us her neighbor, war will be avertsd and
friendly relations will be established. The
probability is that Gen. Grant will be sue
cess 'ul in the mission he has consented to
undertake, and that the claims of the two
nations upon the islands in dispute will
be equitably adjusted. With such a re-
suit must come lasting gratitude for a
bencfactor OH the part O. Japan as we'll as
China, and in making peace between them
Gen. Grant will draw the two nations in
to more intimate relations with tho Uni
ted States. The door of Japan has open
cd to our civilization, and it may be that
the door Of China is about to swing wide
to receive whatever we have to give which
can commend itself to the mind and heart.

taxable Indication Of the marvellous pro-
cress which is making this age the bright

FOUR MORMONS IN CONGRESS

The Democratic party has stopped to
many unworthy manIuyrcs OF late years
to accomplish its political ends, but none
have been more rcprchensiblc than the
behavior of the Congressional Labor In
vcstigating Committee which went west
ward and stopped in Utah to look into
Mormon affairs. One of the five, Hon.
Calvin Cowgirl, of Indiana, tried to do
his work properly, but the others simply
put themselves at the service of John
Taylor and the other polygamists, saw
just what they chose to show them, heard
only what they saw fit to tell them, and
outraged the common decency Of the
American people by promisin.-to use
their utmost efforts to get Cannon, i'm
prisoned for contempt by the United
States Supreme Court. out of the peni-
Tertiary, to have Utah erected into a
State, and to otherwise advance the cause
of Mormonism. Instead of giving ear
to the statements of the Christian people
and law-abiding citizens Of the Territory
they engaged themselves to present to
Congress, in the most favora BILE light the
views of men who live in open and impu-
dent violation of the laws of God and
man. And.why? To obtain two Mormon,
OF, which is the same thing, two Demo
cratic votes in the Senate.
BY this dissraceful conduct Of the
Democratic committee the attempt is
made to legalize polygamy, to uphold
fragrant contempt of the United States
Supreme Court, and to counteract Sccre-
tary Evarts' patriotic endcavors to pre-
vent the immigration Of Mormons. Since
tho committee visit to Utah, the Church
paper has advocated resistance to the
laws of the government, made bold by the
encouraging assurances of the Democratic
committee. No argument can add to the
abomination of the bare facts.
