A HATIONAL OPPRESSION IN UTAH.
The Inequalities ortne Edmunds Act Slow
the Lairs aro Hado to Pnntsn SmIum
Wliile tbe Sinners are Protected.
Judge Clacks Interview with a Press Re
porter. " I do not say that the Edmunds law is
unconstitutional, because it defines and
punishes polygamy as a crime. The Mor
mons think polygamy allowed by divine
authority, aud believe it in aome canes to
be required as a religious duty, but it' tho
civil government bo of opiouion that it is
injurious to society, the c tiilicfc must bo
decided by tho authorities of the state,
not by the decrees of church. Congress
aud the supremo court have determined
it. The Edmunds bill punishes it as a
civil offense by a heavy lino aud a lonjj
imprisonment in tho penitentiary, aud su
peradds to that tho infamous and degrad
ing penalty of disfranchisement, total in
capacity to vote or hold ollico uuder tho
territorial government iu Utah, or under
tho United States, anywhere. You may
call that cruel if you please. Ko one, I
think, will deny that there is some grouud
of complaint against it on that score. Uut
that doesnot effect the validity of thu law.
Congress having juiidiction over them, it
can punish theolluut-o by hanging or shoot
ing tho delinquent, just as certainly as it
can lino sixpence apiece. Heavy' as is tho
hand that is laid upon them, thoy must
submit until it is lifted."
"Then your appeal will be to Cougiebs
for a mitigation of tho law?"
'No such thing," said Judge Bl.ick.
'If wo could show that this law is unjust,
even savage, in its character, it would be
mero folly to do so with thu expectation of
moving Congress to pity. That iilubti ious
body, backed by tho political piety of tho
country, would bo moro likely to incioaso
the puuibkincut than to diminish it ; aud
might find polytraiuusts condemned to bo
shot or sti angled instead of the civil
death which they must suffer under tho
present law.
" No, I will havu Uv-ihiug to do with an
appeal for mere mercy. It is no mo. I
might as well argue constitutional law
with Grant, or quote script in o to Iugcr
soll." "Then how, or in what manner, will
you oppose tho law and save the Mormons
from its operations?"
Judge Black : "I wont oppose I ho law
at all, aud I do not expect or desiro to
save the Mormons from its operations "
' That being tho stalo of tho case 1 do
not see where the trouble is.
JudgoBIack : "I will tell you. Com
missioners under tho Edmunds law were
appointed by tho president to go into tho
territory, tako charge of the elections and
act as a returning board. All election
and all registering officers wcro removed
by tho act of Congress, with a proviso
that their places should bo filled by ap
pointees of tho commissious. Fivo gen
ilemen of very good character accepted
the appointments, took the oath of office
and drew tho pay. But they did not go
to tho territory or make any ap
pointments until it was too lato to hold
tho annual election for territorial officers,
fixed by law for the first Monday iu
August, aud so that election fell through.
It was a shameful dereliction of duty aad
might have had serious conscquuueus ex
cept for tho wise provisions of tho law,
which declared that all officers should hold
their places until their successors wcro
duly elected aud qualified. For this rea
son the default of tho commissioners did
not produce auy dislocation iu tho ma
chinery of tho territorial government.
The local affairs of tho people have con
tinued to bo conducted by agents aud
officers of their own choice, unless a revo
lution has taken place siuco my last ad
vices. But an election is to tako plats in
November for a delcgata to Congress, and
the commissioners aro making their pre
parations to oxcludo largo classes of legal
voters from tho polls, whereby it may
happen that a small and dishonest fac
tion (less than ono-flftoenth of tho whole
population) will send a delegate to mis
represent tho people and do all ho can to
injuro, destroy aud slander them. Thoso
commissioners havo of their owu motion,
without authority of auy law, and iu ttio
teeth of tho constitution, established an
inquisition into tho life of every man aud
every woman for twenty years back, and
devised a test oath to try them. All who
decline to swear that they have not mar
ried or cohabited with moro than one
woman at any time in tho course of the last
twenty years aro pronounced guilty of
polygamy and forthwith punished for tho
crime by disfranchisement."
" Does tho Edmunds aot direct this ?"
Judge Black : " No, thcro is nothing
like iu tho aet of Congress not a word
that looks iu that direction. It fcimply
says that persons guilty of the crime thuie
deliued shall not bo permitted to vote or
hold office, which means no more or less
thau this : that auy per.-;o;i guilty of the
crime, alter tho date of tho act, shall, on
legal conviction, siilfcr tho penalty oi dis
franchisement ia addition to imprisonment
and fine. To Bupposa that more was
meant is to imputo a wilful, deliberate aud
corrupt violation of the constitution, which
is the worst kind of perjury that mortal
mart can lay upon his soul. It is a well
settled rule of interpretation that no such
imputation shall ever be mado against tho
legislative department, unless the evil in
tent be expressed so plainly that no other
construction is possible. Neither tho Con
gress nor auy other power In this country
can disfranchise citizens by legislative de
cree any more thau it cau order them to
be killed, and Congress did not try to do
it. This infamous legislation is the work
of tho commissioners themselves.
"You ask why it is infamous? That
question cau easily bo answcsel. The
reasons aro innumerable. Ilore in brief
are somo of thsm : It is a bill of pains
and penalties ; second, it ie punishment
without trial ; third, it assumes that all
moa aro guilty who refuse to clear them
selves by an cxpurgatory oath, roversiug
tho rule of ovidcuco which lies at the foun
dation of civil liberty ; fourth, it is ex post
facto iu its operation, going back nearly a
whole generation to disfranchise pcoplo
for offenses supposed to have been com
mitted long before thero was any law to
inflict that penalty upon thenrby denying
these principles. 'No man shall be bouud
to testify against himself.' You cannot
put his conscience ou the rack any more
than you can break his body on the wheel
to extort a confession. All test oaths for
punitivo purposes or to deprive men of
their civil rights aro odious and forbidden
by every constitution and by all charters
of liberty in every frco country."
" Does not your prejudice againstthings
of this Mud pardon mo, I will put tho
question iu a more complimentary form.
Does not your lovo of equal justice causo
you to mako your condemnation too
strong."
Judge Black : " No, it is so written in
tho constitution, and the supreme court of
the United States in tho test oath cases
(fourth Wallace) solemnly affirmed every
proposition I contend for. So did the su
prenic court of Pennsylvania in Hubcr vs.
Eeilley (3 P. F. Smith). No American
court of respectable authority ever dis
graced itself by denying tbeso principles.
" To see tho iniquity of the commission
ers' rule look how it would work in other
ciscs. In somo places, where tho United
States havo exclusive jurisdiction, negro
concubinage prevails to a frightful extent.
Your political metropolis swarms with
hybrids, of whom hardly on in a thous
and is the offspring of a legal marriage.
It might be proper enough to punish this
beastly demoralization and pernicious
crime with disfranchisement. But could
j ou deprive a man ot his right to vote or
hold office, unless ho swears that he has
had no criminal relations with a cegrcss
for a quarter of a century.
"If the Prohibitionists should get a law
to disfranchise all who make, sell, or
dtiuk strong liquor it would bo extremely
unjust aud wholly inconsistent with the
constitution to deprive men of their citi
zenship who could uot or would not take
an oath that they had never been drunk or
mado anybody else drunk by selling them
whisky.
"Election frauds aad false returns
ought to be punished with disfranchise
ment. It is the worst species of crimin
falsi, and most dangerous to public liberty.
Polygamy, oven as anti-Mormons paint it,
is au act of whito-robed iunocenco in
comparsion. But would it do to punish
past offenses, and force meu by a test oath
to reveal their guilt? It would be a hor
rid prosecution of our gicat politicians,
which they would not stand at all, to go
back upon them only as f.ir as 1S7G.
" Again : Thcic is au offense now im
pudently and openly pi act iced of taxing
salaries for political purposes, whereby
the highplaeed man uses his subordinates
as mere instruments for drawing money
out of tho treasury, and puting it in a
fund which is used to manufacture public
judgment and corrupt elections. It is the
worst form that public tuelt lias yet taken.
It is forbidden by law ; but tho law is
evaded. Now, thiuk of a statute 'to dis
franchise these criminals and all who par
tifcoof their guilt; and imagine a com
mission sweepiug out every executive
officer who refuses to swear that ho has
neither done tho criminal act himself as
yet. nor got a member of Congress to do
it for him.
' Ia4mt";- this iniquitous tuio ticuli1 not
aud would' not bo practiced, or even
thought of, against anybody except tho
Mormons. But very many regard Mor
mons as beyond tho pale of constitutional
protection, and would greet any outrage
upon them,howevcr treacherous or illegal,
with acclamations ol applause. 1 do not
ask that they bo exempted from punish
ment for what is amiss iu their conduct.
But givo them a trial and leave them in
possession of their rights tmtil they aro
deprived of them by due process of law.
That is only what I would demand for
myself, for you, and for all others."
" It is generally believed that polyga
mous Moimous in Utah aro not numerous:
that their voles can bo snared, and that
the great body of tho people who arc non
polrsamous Mormons can still outnumber
their enemies and have tho election their
own way If that bo truo, will it not all
come right, notwithstanding tho rule of
the commission?"
Judge Black : " I cannot speak with
accuracy, but I believe that tho enemies
ot free government in Utah are as nearly
as possible one-fifteenth of the population.
Of the other fourteen fifteenth something
above ten per cent, are accused truly or
falsely of polygamy. Excluding theso
last from tho polls, tho pcoplo can still
beat tho inimical faction ten to one. But
it is feared that many others will indig
nantly refuse to tako the unlawful oath or
let their names go upon a registry from
which their fcllow-citizons aro unjustly
stricken. Besides, tho anti-popular party
is strengthening itself with recruits from
the vilest dens of infamy ; for instance,
tho keeper of a largo and notorious house
of ill-lame and all the inmates of her es
tablishment aro already registered, the
commissioners having modified the oath
against unlawful cohabitation, so that the
votes of them and their male customers
aro received with all the honors, while
married people are excluded, simply be
cause they are married according to the
law of God as they believe it. That is not
all. Tho commission is a returning board
and somo natural terror is felt lest the
foul job be ended by a false return.
" Again, I say, these commissioners aro,
or were when appointed, men of excellent
leputatiou. Their superiors for integrity
anil ability could hardly havo been found
in tho Union. To mo it seemed a more
matter of comse that they would perform
with perfect lideiily the simplo duty as
signed them of holding the elections ac
cording to lav.. I could uot anticipate
that they would uuito with tho oucmies of
the people to deprivo them of their legal
franchises. I would as soon have suspect
ed them of joining James and bis gang to
rob tho express traiu."
" Do you mcau to say that others have
evil designs upon tho people of Utah
which this conduct of the commission will
promote ?"'
JudgoBIack: "Yes; thcro is alifeacd
death struggle going oa between tho peo
ple who are trying to save their rights of
local self government and a crew of god
less wretches who aro straiuing every
ncrvo to take it from them. Lot mo ex
plain : The settlers who went thcro in
1JJ47 became organized uuder a territorial
government which gavo them all theptivi
logcs of a free community, with a Legisla
ture of their own to make their local Iaw3,
and with officers of thoir own choice to
mauago their local affairs. They exercised
this power with so much prudenco that
tho community grew aud prospered ex
ceedingly. Their industry aud frugality
were so universal that extreme poverty
became a thing uukuown. Their ways
were ways of pleasantness, for they did
justice and administered charity, not only
to ono another, but to all who lived among
them and the stranger withiu their gates.
Leaving polygamy out of tho question tLe
statistics show them to ba tho ino3t vir
tuous and upright people that ever colo
nized a new country on this coutiuont.
They had great natural difficulties to over
come. Tho valley of tho groat Salt Lako,
when they wont to it. was an arid desert
so barren that Colonel Burger, who knows
it well, said ho would givo $1,000 for the
first bushel of wheat that could bo grown
thero. But by a systom of irrigation, ad
mirably organized, established by enor
mous labor, and maintained by incessant
vigilauce, together with steady and skill
ful cultivation they havo made it a goodly
land of fruitful farms and thriving towns.
This great result could havo been achieved
only by a frco pcoplo protected by laws of
their own making, administered by officor3
of thoir owu choico. To tako from them
their right of local self government would
be a visitation upon them worso thau a
gecnral conflagration."
" IIow could a change ia their govern
ment produce such a disastrous effect ?"
Judge Black: "I will tell you in a
moment. But just here let me show you
how the evil thing is threatened. The
governor and other Federal officers, and a
few more who back them, have for years
made no secret of their desho to clutch tho
territorial government. E:irly in the last
scssiou they lobbied for au act of Con
gress authorizing them to seize it. But
they failed entirely. After the Edmuuds
bill, and after tho commission by its
neglect of duty na4 broken, down. tbg
August election, they got an amendment
stuck into tho appropriation bill and
passed through tho Senate in utter ignor
ance of tho situation. But that, too, was
an abortion, for it did not give the much
coveted power. Since that time (only a
few days ago) tho governor has issued a
proclamation declaring his intention to
throw out 103 of tho peoplo's officers, and
naming tho persons whom ho will put in
their places. This, as a grand coup d'etat
which if it succeeds, will make the wholo
territorial government the prey of the
spoiler. Ho and his assistants in the in
iquity will annihilate the power of tho
peoplo to govern themselves so as to man
age their own affairs m any particu
lar. Controlling tho local magistrates,
tho sheriffs and constables thero will bo
no check upon their rapacity. Owning
every assessor, collector, treasurer aud all
custodians ot public monoy, they will
revel in plunder. No man's rights or
property will be secure, and no man can
safely follow any business but that of
theft. To framo excuses for these acts of
oppression they will invade tho privacy of
families ; kitchens and bed-chambers will
be watched by eavesdroppers and visited
by hireling spies or lyiug delaytors. A
vulgar despotism liko that would bo a
measureless calamity to any community
ou which it might bo imposed. To Utah
it would bo fatal. Sho cannot stand what
South Caroliua did. No teu years of
good stealing can bo found there."
"Why do you believe that such terrible
consequences will follow the governor's
success iu this movement ? It gecms to
me hard and harsh to denounce them in
advance.".
Judge Black : " I can only judge of tho
futtuo by tho past. I expect theso per
sons to act after their kiud. All men who
by lorce or fraud ever got possession ol
such power havo abused it most atro
ciously, and ono set is as had as another.
Whenever au imperial government has
sent its agents upon au outlying province
to control jt without regard to tho rights,
feelings or interest of the people, plunder,
oppression and cruelty havo gone with
them. Ireland'attosts this by scveu hun
dred yearsof suffering. Our fathers assert
ed it in tho Declaration of Independence,
and if you want moro recent proof look at
the unspeakable outrages perpetrated upon
tho South by tho carpetbag felons. All
the thinking men know it is a maxim
that tho refusal of local self govern
ment, or homo rule, to any state or terri
tory means tho denial of everything which
is honest or just. Besides this gcucr.il
principle tI:L' j is a special :eason for dis-r
trusting theso federalists iu Utah. The
man who leads them is tho same governor
who, less than a year ago, solemnly certi
fied tho election of a candidate for dele
gate to Congress, though he knew him to
be defeated by more than fourtccu to ono.
I venture to say that, take it altogether.
this is tho most unprincipled raid that
was ever mado upou tho liberties of any
pcoplo in modorn times."
" Can you uot stay thero proceedings by
au appeal to tho courts for an injunc
tion?" Judgo Black : " That would be difficult
in tho courts of Utah. Federal Judges
have original jurisdiction and could givo
us relief, but might refuse. They havo
shown much anxiety to get for the gov
ernor tho power that ho is now exercising
without authority, and possibly his usur
pation has been advised by thorn. It that
be truo they are moro likely to assist than
restrain him. Wo can tako au appeal
from any unjust decision they may make,
but wo could not bo heard in tho United
States supreme court for a year or two,
perhaps. Iu tho meantimo tho Mor
mons might be stripped of all they
havo, wiped out clean and drivec
into the sea. Wo must have a
shorter and perhaps a sharper rem
edy for that. I hopo tho presidont will
immediately, or in good time, remove tho
governor and all other officers in Utah
who givo him aid and comfort in his as
sault upon tho people of tho territory ;
and if he does not remove tho comTnis
sioncrsho will, at least, compel them to
givo tho pcoplo a fair election, and forco
them to cease playiug into tho hands of
their enemies. I havo faith enough to
believo that tho administration in Wash
ington will act conscientiously, and with
a desiro to preserve, protect and defend
the constitution and seo the laws faith
fully executed. If wo aro disappointed
there is nothiug Iofc but the impeachment
of the governor and commissioners both.
There is good prospect for a somewhat
heavy coutest. May God stand up for tho
right !"
One thing moro " Aro you uot aware
that the religious psoplo of all denomina
tions iu this country aud in Europe aro
strongly prejudiced against the Mormon
doctrino of plural marriages ?"
JudgoBIack: "I know that nearly all
Christian men and women condemn it, be
cause they conscientiously believe it to bo
inconsistent with tho teachings of the New
Testament aud tho gospel as preached by
the apostles and settled by tho councils of
tho church. Their reason and knowlcdgo
bring them to the conclusion that polyg
amy i3 a feature of Asiatic manners which
is wholly uusuitcd to America and
Western Europe. They beliove it not
only a siu but a great evil iu its effects
upon society. I do not call that a prejudice;
it is an honest conviction. It is an honest
conviction which reaches tho hearts of
good pcoplo through their intellects. But
the citizens who "feel this sentiment most
strongly arc possibly those who will bo
found most anxious to secure the Mor
mons their constitutional rights. No howl
for plunder, no outcry for blood over
comes from them. They do not even say,
" Staud aside, I am not holier than thou."
It is the infidel who believes in nothing,
and tho political preacher, who has no
gospel but his maw. They would perjuri
ously trample down all law to get at tho
Mormons or anybody else, that has goods
or chattels, lands or tenements. Do not
suppose- that I havo any fault to find with
honest pcoplo who desiro to suppress po
lygamy by legal and coustitutional
means."

PLAIN
TRUTHS.
The blood is the foundation of life, it
circulates through evoiy part of tho body,
and unless it is pure aud rich, good health
is impossible. If disease has entered the
system the only suro aud quick way to
drive it ont is to purify and enrich tho
blood.
These simplo facts arc well known, and
the highest medical authorities agree that
nothing but iron will restoro the blood to
its natural condition ; and also that all tho
iron preparations hitherto made blacken
tho teeth, causo headache, and aie other
v. iso injurious.
Brown's Iron Bitters will thoroughly
and quickly assimilate with tho blond,
purifying and strengthening it, and thus
drive disease from auy part of the system,
and it will not blacken tho teeth, causo
headache or constipation, and is positively
not injurious.

Gents: Upon tho rccoinnienda
dation of a friend I tried Brown's
Iron Bitters as a tonic and restora
tive for my daughter, whom I was
thoroughly convinced was wasting
-away with Consumption. Having
lost three daughters by tho terrible
disease, under tho care of eminent
physicians, I was loth to bulieo
that anything could arrest tho pro
gress of t ro discaso, but. to my great
surprise, before my daughter had
taken ono bottle ot Brown's Iron
Hitters, sho began to mend and now
iscjuite restore! to former iieuitli.
A liilh daughter began to show
signs ot Consumption, aud when
tho physician was consulted ho
quickly said "Tonics wore re
quired ;" and when informed that
l ho elder sister was taking Brown's
Iron Hitters, responded " that is a
good tonic, lake it."
Adohax Pmtirs.
Brown's Iron Bitters effectually cures
Dyspepsia, Iudigestioa aud Weakness,
and renders tho greatest relief and benefit
to pei sons suffering from such wasting dia
eas.:sas Consumption, Kidney Complaints,
etc.
