A Disxracerui Phase of Mormonism

SALT LAKE, Feb. S.-George c. Bates, for many years leading apol- ogist for the Mormons and attorney for the church, gives the following account of his experience, while travelling in the south on church bus mess, in January, 1873: stopping to change horses and dine, he saw sit- ting around one table five polyga- nous wives of one old bishop, and in and about the ranch some thirty six large boys and girls of all ages, from ten to sixteen and twenty years old. He then and there learned that these young Mormons all slept in one large single room, living in promis- cuous concubinage, and that sev- eral of the girls had borne children to their brothers and cousins and un . cles, and that this was matter of daily happening and was not discour- aged but winked at by the bishop.

LONDON, the citv, the small but ancient corporation in the heart of the metropolis, will soon be no more, unless the plans of the government miscarry. Mir. Gladstone declared some time ago that it was his pur- pose to increase rather than restrict the powers and i'm oortance of the corporation. This, t is now under stood, meant that tie present Lon don is, so to speak, 10 be disestab- hshed, and anew municipal London, to embrace the whole vast wilder ness of buildings and throngs of in- habitants, is to be put in its place. If this plan be carried out, the local jurisdiction will cover the metropolis -one central government will have 100000 people under its oversight. This extension of government must be tempting to certain grades of mind. The Lord Mayor will be al- most king under the new regime. But the "city" London, as a rule, with 500 years of chartered existence behind it, frowns upon the propo- sition

BY reference to our telegraph columns 1t will be seen that congress is taking action to relieve Arizona and New Mexico of the curse of out lawry that has been reigning along the border, notably for the past two years. The success of the bill, which will be reported by the senate com mittee, will be anxiously looked for by the citizens of Cochise, though should the bill be passed, that alone will not be sufficient in some quar- ters to effect cure of existing evils. The Pathfinder who, after being farmed into the gubernatorial chair of Arizona, passed most of his time out of the territory, is directly re. sponsible for the existing evils of Arizona.

THE COWBOY CURSE.
The Attention of Congress
 Called to It.
Measures for Our Relief Pro posed - The Posse COmita- tus Law to be so MOdi- fled that the Troops
 Can Aid the Civil
 Authorities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The presi- dent, in a special messag~ to con- gress, transmitted a communication from Secretary Kirkwood, enclosing letter from Acting Governor Cos per of Arizona in relation to the pre- valence of Iawlessness in that terri tory. The president calls attention to the recommendation in his an nual message that the posse coml- tatus act be amended to permit the use of the military In assisting the civil authorities to maintain order, and suggests again such legislation as seems required In his communl- cation Secretary kirkwood states that the New Mexico and Arizona difficulty in the way arises from the fact that the sheriffs are intimldated that from personal motives they de- sire to curry favor with the disorder ly element of society. It is therefore suggested whether it would not be expedient and proper that authority should be conferred by law upon the governor of any territory to remove or suspend the sheriff for neglect of duty and appoint a person in his place.
 THE POSSE CosnTATUs ACT.
 In letter dated December Is, Acting Governor Gosper, of Arizona, urges the repeal of the posse comml- tatus act as the best means of giving that territory relief from the reckless rule now cursing the peace and lib- erty of otherwise favored portions of the territory.
 In another letter, relating to the cause of lawlessness, Governor Cos. per says: ''The people of ombstone and Cochlse county, in their mad ca reer after money, have grossly neg. lected local self-government until the lazy and lawless element of soci. ety have undertaken to prey upon the more iadustrial and honorable classes for their subsistence and gains. The cowboys are not always white; some are Mexicans; but Amer. jeans direct and control the lawless ! element" The acting governor es inmates the whole number of COW boys, which term, he says, includes skilled cattle thieves and highway | robbers, in the county of Cochise | N here most of the trouble has oc cured, from twenty-five to fifty l Other banus are scattered over tn,
 
 territory. Besides the cowboys ther is class, much larger in numbers of the "good-Lord and good devil kind, who keep up a secret partner ship with the robbers and profit b their lawlessness.
 CONGRESS TO ACT PROMPTLY.
 The committee on territories c the senate has deci ed to act prompt Fly. They will probably within lefew days report bill to modify tn posse comitatus act, so as to allo' the military to be employed to as sist the civil officers in the territorle and border states in enforcing la, [ land g,aintaining order. The ind lreations are that the democrats wi oppose any modification of the DO: SC comitatus act and take the pc { sition that c,vil officers should be 1T creased where lawlessness prt
 vails to sufficient number to put '. INwn
