T.ie peculiar loatltution of Utah must pos
sess extraordinary virtue if it survives the
bill prepared by Senator Cragin. Among
other things the bill provides that only citi
zens of the United States shall be competent
to act as grand and petit jurors, that all
commissions and appointments, civil and
military, granted by Brigbam Young, shall
cense, Ibnt no man shall takn unto himself
more than one wife, and thai it shall be un
lawful for the officers and members of the
Mormon Church to grant divorces or solemn
ize marriages. In all of these matters the
people of Utah should be compelled always
to yield lo tbe same laws tnat govern the
rt of the country. Divorcee should net be
lelt to tbe discretion ut one religious body
lu ll denied to another. Still it would be
wisdom to biing the followers of Brigbam
Young under tbe civil law, if possible, with
out'lnterfering with tbeir regions convic
tions. One of the speediest wnvs to add to
the growth ol a creed is to trample upon it.
This bus been demonstrated a thousand
time. Xo mutter how absurd or preposter
ous the religion, injustice or Intolerance
only renders it the stronger or morn dun
serjus. One or two railways running
thruugh'Utnh in time would settle the Mor
mon question moru efleoiii.tlly than all the
laws tbut i-iiti be ilvrised. Biighatii Young's
power is ulready waning. It would be well
to adopt a line of "maiterly inactivity" in
regard to tbe uiaiingement of thu Mormon
Church.

mountedon swift horses rode through the

shot through the left breast, from the effects
ol which he bss not recovered. The Indians
then burned his train, which .was worth
$80,000, one hall of It being l?i money la

greasers, and tbe rem kinder escapd.
"In this manner Fenners lost nil he bad
