THE MORMON "MARRIAGES.o

The decision rendered by the Supreme Court
of the United States in the case Of Miles 4. The
United States is at once important and somewhat
dscouragiDg. The plaintiff in error, Miles, had
been found guilty of bigamy in the Third Dis
trict Court of Utah lie then appealed TO tho
Supreme Court Of the Territory, by which the
finding below was affirmed. He then ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court of the United
States, which has now set aside the ruling of the
Supreme Court Of the Territory, and remhnded
the case for new trial. The Supreme Court Of
the United States now holds that there was no
error III excluding the adberents OF the Nor
mon faith from the jury, and none in ad-
hitting the declarations of Miles rs proof Of
the first marriage. II is decided, however, that
the Court below did err in allowing Caroline
Owens, the second wife. to give evidence
against Miles 10 prove his first marriage. This
was upon the ground that Caroline Owens was
prinlG .tircie the lawful wife of Miles, and could
not therefore be used as O witness TO prove the
first marriage with Emily Spencer, which was
the only issue in4he case. So the cause goes
back Tor new trial apparently with but little
