A GOOD IDEA.

We like the plan of Mr. Babb, of Iowa.
He has introduced in the Legislature of
that State joint resolution authorizing
the Governor to invite the governments of
ell other States and Territories to serd del.
egates to Convention, to be held in Des
Moines, to consider the question of calling
together a body Of men from all the States
to frame common code of laws on mar
rage and divorce, with view to soliciting
the concurrence therein of all the States.
In short, it is plan to bring about a
treaty between sovereign States upon mat.
tiers concerning which their laws are now
so widely at variance as to cause great
friction, frald and injustice, and to stimu.
late crime and wrong.doing, and to lessen
the sanctity of the marriage tie. Some
thing like month ago we suggested that
possible way out of the divorce problem
would be an agreement between the States
upon uniform code. We believe that to
be the best, most direct and satisfactory
plan. Constitutional amendment will be a
slower process, and it will raise the ques-
ton of Capitalization and antagonize the
radical States rights sentiment. We be-
lieve, however, that the States, by Com.
missions, can be brought into harmony on
this subject. If not all the States should
agree to it, still if any considerable mum.
Der concur, it will result in time in bring
ing all into the compact

cally against the forfeiture of the California
and Oregon RAILROAD grant, and declares

of which it has yet heard. 1t adds cit

will resort to all kinds of tricks and advo.

very popular hobby, and one upon which
the veriess scalawags have ridden into
power only to basely deceive those who,

sitions. We know nothing that would
work greater injury to California than
the forfeiture of this grant. We are glad
to know that the better class of people of
this State have demonstrated against any
such action by Congress, and it is to be
hoped that the California delegation will
heed the remonstrance

FOR TIE GOOD oP CALIFORNIA.

The San Francisco Ahd says: The bill
before Congress to forfeit the grant to the
California and Oregon road stands upon a
different footing from others. That road
is now, and for long time past has been,
rapidly nearing completion. At least the
work Is proceeding with energy, the build.
ers showing good faith, aud that they will
complete it as soon as possible. The people
of this State, and particularly the people
of the northern counties, are greatly inter
ested in having the road built as early as
possible. Can the road be built, and will
it be built without the grant? Would it
be Just to those whose millions have gone
into the road on the faith OF the grant, and
after they have got the road running into

you do not continue, your road is valueless !;
If you DO, the grant you received as the in

demand the completion OF the road, that
we may have connection by rail with toe

cifc Railroad. No argument is needed to
convince any reasonable man of the sound.
ness of this position. We hope our delega-
ton in Congress will, if they can, wipe out
every land grant ever made, so far as not
earned, except this one, which is being
earned. AS to this particular grant, we
hope to see them act for the good of Cali
fornis, in lotal disregard of the buncombe
of the misinformed.

TIE cop1AE COUNTY CASE.

The Copish county outrage testimony
continues TO accumulate and to grow in In
terest. It nearly all tends TO enhance the
horror of the charges. Some testimony is
being now given 80 show that Matthews
was overbearing, threatening and politi-
cally feared by reason of his domineering
disposition and organizing ability. But if
all this is admitted, it will not excuse his
brutal murder, nor the shooting down of
other citizens, and the driving of voters
from the polls to the woods, cor the pros.
tra:ion OF still Others on the ground while
ruffiznlY cuttdrOats whipped them to the
verge of death. The whole trouble was,
that Matthews refused to give up his lead
ership in the Republican or Independent
party OF that eection, and he had TO die.
He had been warned not to vote, under
penalty Of death, but he persisted in exer-
cising his rights as citizen, and met his
fate. a moment before the killing, Wheeler
and Matthews, "who were friends (?)
though political opponents" met at the
polls. He and Wheeler were requested to
vote and then act as challengers. Wheeler
was armed with a shotgun, which stood
near him in the polling booth. He and
Matthews shook hands and chatted pleas
antly for moment, when Matthews said
they might SO well vote and take their
places as chsllengers. Matthews put his
ballot in the box, and the next instant
WAeeler raised his gun and without
word shot the unarmed man dead. And
yet witnesses are attempting, before
committee OF the United States Senate, to
excuse the act on the ground that Mat
thews had some time before threatened to
kill those who opposed him in politics
They absolutely attempt TO explain that
this was why Wheeler was not arrested,
though they are silent as to the fact that
the murderer was soon after elected to Of
flee by the people of Copiah-an undeni-
able act Of conformation.

commercial relations with that Republic a
matter of exceeding difficulty. The out
side world cannot easily keep track 4" of
the fluctuations in the Mexican tariff laws,
and must in consequence assume grave
risks if it attempts to manufacture for that
market. But while perplexing, changing
and ambiguous tariff regulations exclude
Connecticut manufacturers from Mexico
practically, Germany, Spain and England,
by reason of favoring treaties, send to
Mexico 5000, 900. 900 of goods annually.
Once admit Connecticut and her sister
New England manufacturing States to the
trade of Mexico, and, as Mr.. Yates con-
cisely puts it, the purchasing power of
"the sister republic" will double in a
single decade.

TIE ATTEMPTED NEWS PROJECTIONS.

Mr.. Watterson, in advocating his scheme
to copyright "news," says in "news" he
would include all original, special and
general matter exceeding one hundred
words, sent by post or wire, and embracing
the original communication of information
of any and every description" He then
explains that the sole object is to protect
newspapers from news pirates. But he
forgets that copyright is intended to secure
to authors the right to their products
"News" is not the product of an author,
for it is not original nor is it intellectual
labor. The collection of news cannot, by
any contortion of the copyright principle,
be construed into an intellectual origina-
ton, and that alone do copyright laws pro.
teot. Suppose San Francisco reporter
telegraphs to the REooRD.UNIoN that that
city has just resolved in its representative
council to support the proposition to urge
Congress to improve the navigation of the
Sacramento. Whose property is the state
ment? Does it belong to the body resolv.
ing, to the reporter or the RECORD UNION
If it belongs to the reporter, then anyone
who first hears and communicates fact in
print gains the exclusive right as an
author" If it is the property of the
body making the news, then it has the
right to designate when it shall be first
published. If it is the property of the
RECORD UNION, because it pays the report
er, then public matter is converted into
private ownership. How, too, will Mr..
Wattsraon fix up his absurdity SO as to
prevent B giving in another form the news
A prints in particular verbiage? The fact
is, no newspaper under Mr.. Watterson's
chimerical scheme could exist, not even
those it is intended to invest with mo-
nopoly. The scheme is so absurd and silly
that we cannot believe it will ever receive
serious consideration in Congress-.

THE PEOPLES WISH.

The Red Bluff Sentinel, referring to the
proposed forfeiture of the California and
Oregon land grant, says: "We venture
the assertion that if the question was SUBJ
mitted to vote of the people of northern
California fairly and squarely, without the
intermeddling of politicians and office
seekers, as to whether the land granted to
the California and Oregon Railroad should
be forfeited, thereby ieopardizing the
building and equipping of the road. or
allow the company to 90 on and complete
the road and receive the land subsidy, q
large majority would favor the latter prop
osition. We know of but one paper north
of Tehama county that has favored the
passage of the bill FORGETTING this land
grant. Settlers, immigrants and old resi-
dents in Tehama, Shasta, Siskiyou, Modoc
and Trinity counties are almost unani-
mously opposed to the bill. The Msrys-
vile Advocate truthfully says There
are doubtless interests of business aud
trade that would be greatly benefited by
the completion of the railroad
"The whole trade of the State and bust.
ness interests generally would be greatly
benefited and improved by the building of
this road to the Oregon line. To say that
the road will be built whether the company
gets the land or not, is simply begging the
question, for the people of those northern
counties care but little for the land grant
OF the money the railroad company may
sell the lands for, if their lands are doubled,
trebled and quadrupled in value by the
building of the losd, which will induce o
large immigration that will take up Gov.
eminent sections and purchase railroad Sec
tions, make homes, engage in stock raising,
agriculture, vine-growing and a great many
more industries that will induce capitalists
to make investments and develop the hid.
den and dormant resources of the country
that never would be developed but for the
building of the road. This is the plain
common-sense view of the subject. and the
fact must be apparent to all unprecedented
minds"

4 COOL PROP jsITIoY.

a Mr. Gsult has introduced in the Iowa
Senate a bill forbidding all insurance COM
panies from having any suits at law tried
in the Federal Courts, the penalty of their
venturing to bring or defend case in any
bu! the local Courts to be expulsion from
the State. But this is no more vicious nor
assailsble than the proposition made some
weeks ago by that uncomfortable sheet,
the San Francisco Eraminer, which had
the .ffronsery to propose long schedule
of legislation 70 deprive corporated agen.
cies of riehts under the law the right to
appeal to the tribunals of the land the
right TO resist oppression the right of Pc
tition the right to enforce their rights,
ets. OF course such twad6le turns the
stomachs OF men who have any true con-
cep:ion Of The origin and purposes of gov.
eminent, and the genesis and scope of
law. A Chicago paper, referring to the
GAult proposition, and which is paralleled
by the maniscsl plans of the insane press
OF this State, states the converse of the
breezy scheme What would be thought
OF bill which should propose that no.
body but insurance companies should be
allowed 10 have suits brought before the
Federal Courts in Iowa? Yet the latter
proposition would be no more invidious or
absurd than the one now actually pend
ing. So, it is true that the proposition to
exclude railroad companies from all rights
under the law, as is desired by the sheets
OF which the Examiner is type, is no
more foolish and witless than If it proposed
to permit railroad companies and no others
to enjoy shy rights under the Government.

UTAH.
The University of Dcseret

UTAH, February 26;h.-The University of
Deseret is supported by the public school
fund. and has always been controlled by the
Mormon Church The Legislature makes
appropriations. The Board of Regents have
created debt of nearly $4,000, and the
Legislature has passed a bill making an ap-
preparation for the same, but it has not yet
been approved by the Governor. The law
makes it the duty of the Governor to sp-
point the Regents, to be confirmed by the
Legislature. The Governor ssnt in the names
for the Chancellor and twelve Regents, three
of whom are non-Mormons. This is classed
by the Church organs as usurpation of
power, and they will if possible, refuse to
confirm, because the University is really
Mormon school, claiming to be unsectarian
simply TO draw the public money. The APP
pointments by Governor Murray give another
chance for personal abuse and display of
Mormon hatred to the Government.
