DISCUSSING THE MORMON QUESTION.

AT meeting OF the Cabinet last Sat
urday, the Mormon question was dis
cussed. Though no formal action was
taken, yet the policy and position of
the Administration on polygamy was
clearly indicated. The subject was
brought before the Cabinet by petit
ton for Reynolds pardon, accompanied
by letter faom George @. Cannon,
Delegate to Congress from Utah, which
stated that as the case of Reynolds was
set up by the Mormons to test the Con-
stitutionality of the anti-polygamy law,
Reynolds ought to be pardoned. The
members of the Cabinet are divided in
opinion relative to the pardon of Rey-
nolds. Devens thought that as he en-
ployed every known means to escape
conviction and put the Government to
great expense, he should suffer the full
penalty of the law. Schurz and Nc
erary approved this view of the matter,
while Evarts and Sherman favored
eiemency. Thompson and Key took
no part in the discussion, but Key Is in
favor of pardoning Reynolds and
Thompson inclines the other way. The
general policy of the Administration on
the vexed question of polygamy was
considered, ant, it was aseertained that
the Cabinet desires to uproot the insti-
tuition, and that the President will do
what he can to accomplish that object.
That polygamy, which has been
aptly termed relic of barbarism,
should be prohibited, is not questioned
by any reasonable person outside OF
Mormondom. Why the Government,
in Territory Immediately under its
control, should tolerate a practice
which would consign those who in
dulged in it in any of the States to the
penitentiary, has been an enigma to
the people and disgrace to the
country. It has been winked at by
the Federal authorities long enough,
and now that the law of Congress
making polygamy criminal offense has
been declared constitutional by the
highest judicial tribunalin the land, there
is no longer any valid excuse for per-
aitting it to exist in Utah. Taking all
the circumstances attending the unre-
atricted practice of polygamous mar
riages in that Territory into considera-
iron, it smacks of persecution and pre-
JUDGE to consign Reynolds to the peni-
tertiary for doing what thousands of
ethers are now, and for years have been,
permitted to Go with impunity, but
that measures should be adopted to end
the practice at once and forever, none,
except the high priests of Mormonism,
will dispute.

The following story about President
Lincoln is certainly characteristic Soon
after he went to Washington he attended
the Foundry Church, occupying a seat
within the alter while Bishop Simpson
preached missionary sermon. After the
collection was taken at the close Of the
sermon, and as the congregation was
about to be dismissed, an irrepress ble
brother rose and proposed To be one Of a
given number to raise one hundred dol
lars to make President Lincoln a life di-
rector Of the missionary society. The
proposition was put, and brothers A, B
and q responded glibly. But the newt
able pause finally came. Part of the
money was wanting When the Bishop
announced, ''Who will take the balance 2"
the pause became slightly oppressive.
Then the tall form Of Lincoln was seen to
rise, a long bony arm was extended i'm
ploringy, and he said, Bishop, this is
the first time | have ever been placed up
on the auction block. Please let me pay
the balance myself, and take me down.
