THE OATH OF A MORMON.
Damages Laid For Saints Who Were
Nnt AIIna.ns.ia L.. Nnfa.


Not Allowed 10 Vote.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-In the Supreme
court to-day Justice Matthews delivered an
opinion respecting five Mormon cases. Dur
ing the recent elections in Utah the Mormon
church selected five of its members to bring
about tests of the Edmunds act. Three of
them refused to make statements under oath
that they had not plural wives, while two Of
them did SO. The officers of the election
board believing that the two qualified were
bigamists refused to permit them to vote.
The five men joined and brought suits for
damages. In rendering his decision Justice
Matthews observed that the rules and regula-
tions and oaths prescribed by tho commits
sioners being without authority in law were
without force and no effect can be given
them. The registration officers were not bound
nor authorized to obey them. The powers
claimed and exercised by the commissioners
are not ministerial and cannot be made the
ground of action for damages. IF the re-
gistration officers deprived citizens of the
right of franchise in violation of law they
are responsible on an action for damages.
He alone is deprived of his vote who when
he offers the register is then in the state and
condition of bigamist and polygamist or is
actually cohabiting with more than one
woman. Disfranchisement, the decision con-
tinues, is not prescribed as a penalty for
being guilty Of the crime and offense of biga-
my or polygamy, for, as has been said, that
offense consists in the fact of unlawful mar
rage, and prosecution against the offenders
is barred by the lapse of years by section
1,O44 of the revised statutes. Continuing to
live in that state afterwards is not an offense,
although cohabitation with more than one
woman is. But as one may be iv-
ing in bigamous or polyga-
nous state without cohabitation with more
than one woman, he is in that sense biga-
mist and polygamist and yet guilty of no
criminal offense. So that in respect to these
qualifications of voter under the act OF
March %, 1882, the objection is not well
taken that represents the inquiry into the
fact by the officer of registration as an I'M
lawful mode Of prosecution for crime
The power of Congress to prescribe
the qualification of voters in the ter
ritories has passed beyond the
stage of controversy into final judgment.
The conclusion cannot be avoided that the
act of Congress here in question is clearly
within that justification.
This decision of Justice Matthews favors
the application for damage of that class of
residents who made oath that they did not
have plural wives and negatives the appl1ca-
ton for damages of those who refused to
testify that they had more than one wife.

Setting Himself Up Against His

WASHINGTON, March 23-Yesterday's
Capital said that Senator Sherman's resigna-
ton from the Committee on Finance was
part of long considered scheme to make an
open issue with other Republican Senators
on questions partly relative to the tariff and
partly personal and adds, that his immediate
plans are as follows: He is preparing a
speech to open the Ohio campaign, in which
he proposes to explain why he
resigned from the Finance commit
| tee. He will set forth that the Republican
! Senators are wholly controlled by eastern
sentiment and will do nothing but
| what pleases eastern capitalists AS a
representative of the interests of Ohio and
| the West he could not agree to be stifled ia
! the way implied. The refusal to restore the
duty on wool and the action on the McPher-
son banking bill will be among the 4griey-
| ances. Eastern Senators are trying to pre-
vent his taking stand likely to divide east
ern and western Republicans, but he thinks
he must take the position in order to obtain
a solid party in Ohio this fall

The Late William Dwight Curtis.

The Late William Dwight Cuft1Ss
 Many friends in this city heard with sor- row this week of the death of MT. Wm. Dwight Curtis, formerly of the we'll known firm of Blakeslee & Curtis, of this city. He died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Woodbridge, in Middlebury, on Monday at p. m. of pneu- monia. He possessed kind heart and those who knew him best esteemed him most high 1y. He kept drug store in this city for many years with Dr. Henry, on the corner of State and Grand streets, where the late Dr. Riley, their successor, was for years located. He was in his youth clerk in country store in Middlebury where groceries, boots and shoes, drugs and proprietary medicines were retailed, and here acquired his first knowledge of the drug business. After sell ing out the drug business in this city he en- gagged in the fruit and restaurant business with MT. Blakeslee, of the old steamboat line and they first had their store Chapel street, opposite the old depot, where the late Elihu L. Ives kept a similar store before them. Afterwards they removed their busi- ness to the store on Church street long occu- pied by the late MT. Bailey a grocery store, where Johnson's clothing store now is. They kept store here for several years, having good Epatronage and selling out two or three years ago. MT. Curtis then retired to his farm in Middlebury. His health has been gradually declining. He died after two days illness He leaves an aged moth CT, a brother and sister to mourn his loss.
