Sargent defends himself by saying tho,

that he has never known persecution to
be effective against religion; but the very
obvious answer to this argument 10 that
plural marriages are not q necessary part
Of the Mormon religion. aud IL they

Sherman on Mcdowell.

WAsuISGrvS, December 30.-The re-
ports ,bet u GOODNESS has sprung up be.
tween General Sherman aud the White
House are not altogether groundless. In
the matter OF the retirement OF General
Ord the recommendations OF General
Sherman were ignored. The General
wrote a strong letter to the President,
s...:.s oat the injustice OF retiring Ord
aud not retiring Mcdowell, who is Older
than Ord. On the other hand, Mellow
els friends told what an ardent Repub.
lican Mcdowell was, and how he had
come oil the way from the Pacific slope
to vote for Garfield. while Ord had sent
a congratulatory dispatch to Hancock
upon the latter's nomination TO the
Presidency. 1t is new learned that Ne.
Dowell's much Wanted trip to the East
to vote the Republican ticket was made
ut Government expense, costing about
$1,000. He quotes an eI.army officer as
saying that General Mcdowell has been
rewarded for having come from the
Pacific coast to New York to vote for
Garfield, but his vote cost about $1,000.
He got an order FROM the War Depart
nent for himself and aid de-camp to
come East, and under that order both Of
them drew their regular mileage and
allowances. amounting to about $1,000.
The records will show the fact. As to
Ord's uulucky congratulatory dispatch
to Hancock. it is reported that 1t was
not seut a, government expense. These
army officers cause unfavorable criticism
in military circles, aud General Sher.
mans views are not without supporters.

SHALL IT RE AMENDED

II ia the opinion Of lawyers aud ous
ness men here. who have du'y eo"
.,sa the matter. tina, the new law hAios
~ ..,,,;as o, the various county om-
ce,.. which will take effect ne1' Aloha.!'
.hor,d be amended by the next Les's'a'
- IN 40 far as i, relates to the prepay
men, Of fees in Justices Courts. Inc
u.w law requires that the lees Tor oil
,ni,. broueh, in any Court Of the s'A'e
.s,ll be prepaid. The parties referred
20 saw ,ha, prepayment OF fees in JUS
tees Courts will work q great hardship
20 persons who have business in these
carts. and will. also, by preventing
anti, where doubts exist as to the coiiee-
,iop O, a claim, even IL judgment Is OBJ
tanned. deprive the county OF a cons'dsfA-
bls amount OF revenue which 1t would
otherwise receive. As a majority OF the
.ui,s which have been brought in the
.Jus,ic.s' Courts in this county for
YEAR past have been commenced with
on, the prepayment OF iees-the pay
meut OF fees having been made con-
,ingent upOn their collection 1t Is
claimed by the advocates OF amend
men, tina. IL prepayment OF fees is
required there will be but few suits
Instituted. They therefore hold that as
N matter Of convenience and aecommo-
dation TO s%uitors. and for the ben.ht OF
the county revenue. u change in The law
should be made.
Il is further claimed by the parties
before named tina, = reduction OF the
eIorbi,ant fees required by the law in
both civil and criminal cases should be
made. An attachment case in o
Justices Court requires about sls IN
fees. When 1t is considered how
uncertain the creditor is OF collecting
ANYTHING in his suit the necessity OF q
reduction Of fees, say they, can be easily
perceived. Fifty per cent. reduction In
fees. and q provision that no fees shall
be required unless made from the suit
would. it is claimed. bring a great in.
crease Of business to the courts and con-
s.quently more revenue to the county.
The foregoing, as near as 1t can be
briefly stated. is the argument used by
the advocates Of an amendment OF the
law referred to. The question is one
however. upon which the writer il not
prepared to express q decided opinion
The matter is therefore submitted to the
public for m examination OF its merits
and to elicit, discussion. One thing.
however. is generally admitted. Our
laws should not be oppressive IN their
operations. nor should they prevent
people from obtaining redress because
of eIorbitan,ly high fees required to
avail themselves Of their protection.
