CAN'T COME IN.

II does not look SO cheerful for the
proposed new states now as it did at the
commencement Of the present session of
congress. Senator Hale has bounced
Dakota vigorously because some OF the
counties repudiated 100000 in railroad
bonds, and because the territorial legis-
latnre passed an act assisting the slocal
officers in the reputation. The sena-
tor, with plenty of backing from eastern
capitalists and newspapers, insists that
Dakota must repent and clear up her
bad record in this matter before she can
become a member of so respectable q
family as the Union is now composed
of, and there is good deal of force in
the senator's position.
There is also doubt about Washing
ton Territory being able 20 come in
now. The last census gave the territory
population of "a, OO0-only about half
the number which the new spportion-
ment law requires for the constituency
of single member of congress. States
have been created with less population,
1t is true, and there is one which after
eighteen years membership of the un-
ion only musters 1000 inhabitants, but
the general opinion is that there should
be no further experiments of the Neva
da sort, and that congress should invest
no territory with the rights of state
hood until it has the population of
congressional district in the older states
or will in all probability will grow up
to that figure by the time Its people can
frame constitution and put the ma
chinery of full selEgovernment into OPP
Grafton. The movement In favor of ad
mission to the union appears to be
mainly confined to the politicians of the
territory, and to have little support
among farmers and business men.

Globe Democrat: The operation of
the Edmunds anti-polygamy bill will be
watched with interest. Under it all
registration and election offices of every
description in Utah Territory are vacat-
ed, and provision is made for the ap-
poinlment of a commission by the pres
ident TO register voters, conduct cleo
tions, canvass returns and issue celtif
icates of election. The commission Is
to have five members, to he confirmed
by the senate, and 70 be divided between
the political parties. The act further de-
prives polygamists of the. privilege of
voting or holding Office, and, what with
this Limitation of suffrage and the com
mission To enforce il, it is believed that,
n legislature of non polygamists, and one
not subject to the control of polygamists
will be chosen. The first legislature TO
be elected hereafter (under the provis-
ions of the new act, of course), will have
authority to re.establish and refill the
election and registration offices which
the appointed board supercedes for the
time being. 1t is of the utmost import
ance TO have the commission composed
of able men, sound anti-Mormons, and
with wills OF their own. President Ar
thur is reported 20 have made up his
mind to appoint no resident of Utah Ia
the board, and in this he has reached
wise decision.

coon sENSE

The Vicksburg Herald, a Democratic
paper, puts a sermon of refreshing good
sense in few sentences, when it says:
"The time has come for the new south
to say it is entitled to the good will and
aid of both parties and all races. There
is no good in the enemy business
There is no hope in intolerance and
fraud. There is no wisdom in refusing
the CO operation and service of leading
intelligent colOred men. To abuse
power is as deplorable as not to possess
it. If the south ever secures full JUS
tice from the national government 1t
will be when she has the good will of
all patriotic northern as well as southern
men. When our Bourbons fully under
stand this we will all get along better.
The persistent demand made by this
journal that the Republican elected in
this district be seated, has dOue more
good than the bloviating of thirty
Bourbon papers.

We really suppose the story of the
death and resurrection Of Brigham
Young is purely sensational, hut man
who CLAIMS TO be Mormon elder, in a
letter to the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette over the assumed name of
Joseph Smith, gives detailed account
of the scheme for stimulating the faith
of Mormons and overwhelming the
Gcntiles by the resurrection Of Brigham
Young. He says that the plot was laid
about year before the announcement
of the prophets death, and tina, the
originator OF il was Brigham himself
The writer was one of the five persons
admitted 10 the conspiracy, and his con-
science will not keep the secret any
longer. Having spent several years in
comfortable seclusion, while n wax
efigy reposed in his coffin, the prophet
is about TO emerge and electrify the
faithful. After this frank exposure the
writer's only chance of safety is in con-
ccaling his real name, and, as it is, he
expects TO fall sooner or later "hy the
death shot or the mortal stab of the
Danites." This fate would indeed he
calamitous, for he has nine loving
wives ana any number of children in
Salt Lake City. Resurrection might
prove to be the strongest card in the
Mormon pack at this stage of the game,
and, absurd as these stories seem,
good many persons are disposed TO see
some truth in them. II would not he
whit too monstrous for the Mormons 70

SERGEANT MAsoN,s CASE


a. correspondent of the New York
Herald writing from Washington says;
at is asserted that The military court
which tried Mason will be shown by
the review Of Us proceedings by Judge
Advocate General Swain to have tried
him upon charge irregularly laid, and
which, by all precedents, it Will be
necessary TO set aside. AS soon az the
record OF the court was received by
General Swain he began a careful ex.
animation of it in the regular order of
his office business At the same time
there W rs referred TO him by the Presi-
dent, through The secretary of war. q
mass of papers which had been received
at the white house bearing upon this
case and asking for Aason's pardon.
Ii will be remembered that In his re-
view of the Whitaker court, General
Swain held that the principal charge
was not in due form and that, conse-
quently, the trial under it was invalid
and, second, that Illegal evidence had
been received; and, lastly, that the
legal evidence which was taken, did
not establish the guilt of Whitaker be
yOnd reasonable doubt. These
opinions were at first received with con-
siderable doubt by those who suppose
that West Point court, above all others
that could be constituted in the
army. would not commit 81
many serious mistakes, but the ap.
proval of the attorney general and the
Endorsement of the cabinet of the frs
opinion OF the new judge advocate gen
eral has established him at once as {
high authority in the review of military
proceedings.
These facts become significant in con
ueciion with the statement that a brie
inspection of the record in the Masor
trial has convinced him that the chargt
upon which Mason was tried was i'm
properly laid and that the proceeding
under it must fall. It Is understood
that it will be made TO appear conclu
sively In this review that the use Of thu
military forces as posse comitatus &c
guard Guiteau was, under the circum
stances, wholly illegal, ndithat cOnse
quently Guiteau was not in legal sens
in charge Of the company to which Ma
son belongs, and under all rulings o
the bureau of military justice such al
assault as Mason is charged with having
made upon Guiteau, citizen, is not 4
violation of the articles Of war undel
which the court tried him. 1t is alsC
belieyed thai the facts in regard TO the
relative positions of Mason and GuiIear
at the time of the shooting, as set fortl
in the record itself, afford abundant ma
terial for showing that the trial should
not have proceeded under the charge
preferred against him"

Kansas Has Abundant Cause to be of
Good Cheer
ATcHIsoN, Kan, March 25-From
all over Kansas come reports of the most
hattering character in relation to the
crop prospects. The wheat is at least q
month in advance of the season and new
er looked better. The unusual mild
winter and frequent rams have given it
an opportunity to spread ead strengthen.
the roots, and, as the weather grows
warmer, the blades are pushing rapidly,
giving promise OF bountiful harvest.
Much of the spring grain has been
sown and large breadth of corn ground
ploWed. and in some instances corn has
been planted The fruit prospects are
encouraging, and unless unlooked-for
cold spells occur there is ample reason
to congratulate The farmers with the as
surance of fruit crop so abundant as
TO compensate, in q good degree, for the
almost total failure of last year. Nerved
by the hopeful outlook farmers are put
ting forth their best energies for full
barns and larders and liquidation of
outstanding debts from the proceeds of

the scarcity of forage, farm animals are
in good condition. The spring work is
well advanced, and altogether the state
has abundant cause TO be of good cheer.

The citizens of Emporia feel under
great obligations to the statesman of the
Republican for his old-fashioned work
in fixing up the city officers for them,
but the people respectfully decline with
thanks, because they have got their
hands in now at the job of selecting
officers for themselves. Much as they
admire the disinterested efforts in their
behalf OF the phenomenal political
genius who is sacrificing his time and
talent in this matter, they prefer their
own way of attending TO the selection oil
CITY officials.

CHILIAN-PERUVIAN CORRESPONDENTS.
The state department communication,
which the Pres ident transmitted to the
house was in response to a resolution
passed yesterday, requiring any protocol
or other documents signed by Prescott,
relating to the peace between Chill and
Peru. The response states that no pro-
tocol or document of that nature has
been received from Prescott, and no in
| formation has been received from him
or any American representative IN Chilli
| or Peru, that such a document had
been signed. The President, however,

last communication, to the house on the
| subject.

The Mobile Register gives this Ell

couraging report of the new south:
That the Union sentiment at the
the south IL overwhelming is evident
from the facts which cannot be ques-
toned. The old confederate soldier
and his influence is on the side of the
Union. The old element of the people
which under the compromise leaders
of 1852, and which afterward, under
Douglass and Bell in 1850, gave a
majority OF southern vO;es for the
Union, are more determined than
of old To stand by the repub-
lie as ut present constituted.
These elements alone would command
a large majority of the southern whites,
but to these must be added the new and
young blood of the south, the men of u
later generation, who are rising up as
rulers and law-givers, These men have
no revenges to nurse. no disappoint-
ments to enrage, and no ambition which
cannot receive within the union and
under the old flag broader and brighter
glory than could ever be won IN the re-
stricted field of a miniature republic.
The young blood is the real bow of
promise.
