POLYGAMY A CRIME.
1t is so Declared by the United States
Supreme Court.


WASHINGTON, February 3D. The Su-
preme Court of the United States to- day
rendered an opinion affirming the consti-
tutionaliiy of the Edmunds-Tucke Idaho
test oath, intended to prevent Mormons
from voting.
The case came up on an application for q
writ OF habeas corpus, made By Samuel d.
Davis, who is in jail in Idaho, having
been sentenced for unlawfully taken the
prescribed test oath when he was mem
ber of the Mormon Church.
The Court denies the application for the
writ of habeas corpus, holding that polyg-
amy is crime, and that the constitutional
privilege guaranteeing freedom OF religion
is not intended to prevent the punishment
of any person who in the name of religion
commits crime in the eyes of the law.
The Court in its opinion says: "Bigamy
| and polygamv are crimes by the laws Of
the United States. They tend to destroy
| the purity of the marriage relations to dis
| turb the peace of families, to degrade
woman and debase men. Few crimes are
| more pernicious to the best interests OF
society, and receive more general or more
deserved punishment. To cali their advo-
cacy tenet of religion is TO offend the com-
| mon sense Of mankind. To extend ex-
| emption from punishment for such crimes
would be to shock the moral judgment oi
the community. 1t is assumed by the
counsel of the petitioner that because nc
mode OF worship can be established by
| law, or religious tenets enforced in this
country, therefore any form of worship
may be followed. and any tenets, however
destructive of society, may be held and ad-
vocated, if asserted to be part of the re-
| ligious doctrines of those advocating and
practicing them. But nothing is further
| from the truth. While legislation for the
establishment of religion is forbidden, and
its free exercise permitted, it does not fol-
low that everything which may be so called
can be tolerated. Crime is not less excused
because sanctioned by any particular sect
that may designate it as religious"

More Testimony Taken Before the House
Committee.
WASHINGTON, February 3d.-The House
Committee investigating the Ohio ballot
box forgery began its hearing again to-day.
Representative Whitney of Michigan de-
MED the genuineness of his signature to
the ballot-box contract.
Powell Grossly, formerly associated with
Butterworth in the practice of law, says
Wood told him in 1888 about his "box, :"
and that John R. Mclean and 7. G. Camp
bell were engineering it, and were going to
have a Democratic Congressman introduce
the bill. He had no intimation that But
terworth had anything to do with the
ballot-boxes and believed Butterworth did
not know Wood until after the publication.
Governor James E. Campbellof Ohio was
handed the forged paper and declared be had
never seen it until that minute. He always
wrote his name in full, James E. Camp
bell" After he heard Woods statement
that he had gotten hold of a letter
signed ~. f. Co." he made up his
mind that Wood had used the initials
and filed in the name in making the
forgery. Witness sometimes signed ~. E..
C'' to short notes. He was never interested
in the ballot-boxes or any contract bearing
upon them. He introduced the ballot-box
bill at request of T. c. Campbell. Camp
bell brought one of the ballot boxes to
Washington and said the Elections Com
mittee was going to deal with the subject
of llot-boxes, and he wanted to get his
hallot-box before them. He had spoken to
Representative Grosvenor and now came to
him (CampbelD, as Democraticintroduc
ton would give the bill better standing.
Just before his speech in Cincinnati October
4th, reporter for the Cincinnati Post
showed him a card from Halstead reflect
ing upon him (witness) and be said, Hal
stead is liar and if he can prove anything
OF that kind l will get off The Democratic
ticket.n Adjourned until tomorrow.

hours SO inches of rain fell. The Colum-
bia river and all the creeks are very high.

flooded. Mill creek is q raging torrent.
The loss of stock in the county is very
small, and will not reach 5 per cent. No

WEATHER INDICATIONS.
The Sacramento Coming Up-The Y
Feather and American Falling.

The Sacramento Coming Up-The Yuba,
Feather and American Falling.
REDDINe, February 3d.-The river has
risen very fast to day. 1t has just been re-
ported that it is only three or four feet short
of the highest raise ever known here. The
riveris full of drift of all kinds. Timber of
the culvert No 266 of the railroad company
was plainly seen floating down; also the
timbers of another culvert which could not
be read. Undoubtedly much damage to
the railroad must have occurred above.
The Postal Agent at Redding sends the
following: "Since the early morning the
river at this place has raised ten inches an
hour, and is raising at that rate. 1t lacks
two feet of being at high-water mark. 1t
is warm rain all through the mountains.
Snow is melting rapidly, and with continu-
ance of this raise for twelve hours the river
will be above high-water mark, and a flood
below is inevitable. The conditions are
very favorable for such a calamity now
The county bridge, the center of which Is
eight feet above high-water mark, is now
in imminent danger, and the river will un-
doubtedly take it.
Chico, February Sd.-For the past four
days it has been co ldy. without rain. The
weather is very mild. The creeks have not
risen yet. The river is rising very slowly.
ORLAND, February 3D. No rain has
fallen at OrlaDd for the past week. A high
wind preva lis, which promises rain. The
crops need clear weather and lots of sun
shine. Farmers feel very blue over the
outlook.
SIERRA CITY, February 3d.-The weather
has moderated within the past two days.
Nothing can possibly be done for many days
toward clearing the snow and land slides
between here and Downieyille. Provisions
| are quite scarce and beef cattle have not
arrived here for nearly a month. The i'm
mediate danger of further snow slides is at
rest, unless another succession of snow
storms soon follow.
SHASTA, February 3d.-It has been rain
ing heavily for the past twenty-four hours,
and it still continues to fall in torrents.
Being warm Ialn it is melting the snow
on the hills and mountains very fast, and
all the streams and the Sacramento river
| are very high, and rising rapidly. Trinity
river is reported rising three feet an hour.
The ll-bridge and ferry-boat at Lowden's s
were swept away By the high water today.
The stage from the south was stranded in
! one of the streams between Redding and

attracted widespread attention among the
Democrats in Congress, and which con-
firms the statement made in these dispatch
es, that Governor Hauser does not believe
that McGinnis and Clark (Democrats) were
elected to the United States Senate, or that
they will take the seats which they are now
here seeking.
Ex. Governor Hauser says that MeGinnis
and Clark will not be admitted to the Sen
ate and they wolld not have been sent
here except to go through the form of elect
ing Democrats TO confront the Republican
Senators-elect.
In the course of this interview, and on
this point, the Ex-Governor says the dead
lock in the Montana Legislature is iniur-
ing the State from without as we'll as with
in, which is very hard rap on the Demo-
cratic Governor of Montana and his col
leagues in the Legislature.
Messrs. McGinnis and Clark have hereto
fore been shown very little consideration at
the hands of the Democratic members of
the Senate here, and after this opinion from
the highest Democratic authority in Mon
tana they will receive less consideration of
their claims as Senators.elect.
Governor Hauser's admission that they
were merely sent here to make contest
and that they were not legally elected
comes like thunderclap to the Democrats
both in Congress and out Of it, who have
heretofore believed that these Democratic
Senators had some real claim to an cleo
ton.
The few with whom your correspondent
has talked admit that the case now bears
an entirely different attitude from what it
did recently. Democrats here have some
doubts now as to whether this contest will
be sent back to Montana for further action
by the Legislature.
Governor Hsuser's statement that this
muddle is seriously iDjuring the State and
will retard its growth and keep people
away causes much surprise, although those
who have read it and commented upon it
agree with him that it is time for the
Democratic State Senators to at once COM
mence diseharging their duties, and leave
the question OF the right of State canvass
ing board or the county canvassing boards
to issue certificates to the Supreme Court
for adjudication.

defendants have grazed about 200, 900 sheep
across this land. The plaintiffs claimed
defendants had no right to do so, and fur
ther showing that owing to the peculiarly
OF aheep-grazing they leave the land unfit
for cattle
The decision of the Court will be of in
terest to stock-raisers on lands of the United
States. Justice Miller says that the bill
sought by plaintiffs is without equity, as it
seeks declaration that they, by controlling
one-half of parcel of land, may control
