THE LATEST BLOW AT POLYGAMY.
One OF the most effective blows which
mas vet been dealt at polygamy was the
recent decision by Judge Zane, OF Fed
eraI court in case where the title TO the
properly OF dead polygamist Was in
; VOWED A daughter of the man, whose
| name was Senior, she being a child Of his
first wife, brought suit for the possession
OF the property A S. cord wife to whom
| Senior was married while the first wife
was living, claimed portion OF the estate,
as she was the wife OF the deceased (and
| The only wife) at tue time of his death.
| By consent OF both parties the case was
| submitted to the court. without the usual
jury trial, and the Judge declared, in effect,
| that the second marriage was Illegal, and
| that therefore the prop"r'y belonged to
the dau hter OF the first wife and her chill
Iren. 1t is the opinion of lawyers that il
| his deCision-Or one Ike it in any other
case-were appes d 10 a higher court it
would not be reversed, and prominent
Gentle torneys in Mormon territory
suggest that Congress pass law pro
hibting any man from deciding or con
yeying any portion oi his property TO any
| plural vile married after the passage OF

IRON a man who entered the polygnn"us
state Ii is believed that most salu,ar,
effect OF such law would be ITO remov,
! from lawful wives the dread OF be ng leit
homeless aud !orsaken if they objected to
their husban Is taking more wives" A
| gentleman writes to the Congregational.
| ist, Boston, that he knows of one case
where a man made over all his property
to plural wife, and when the first sued
for divorce and alimony he came into
court and swore he did not possess a dol
/ lar" and that the house where the legal
wife had lived for years was sold over her
head, and she dispossessed by an order
from the T. S. Court"
The government should certainly follow
up its advantages and gradually and
surely destroy this ieprous and infamous
institution.
