HOUSE pe REPRESENTATIVIN..
The bill reported yesterday by Mr.
Arnell, from the Committee on Educe
(lon and Labor, relative to the Bureau of
Education end dlsoontleaing the Freed
moo's Bureau. wee taken up, -
Mr. McNEELEY, member name Com
mittee, opposed the bill. Be Intimated
that the manager of the Freedmen's
Bureau had made a nice property 'Teen
baton with the fends of he Bureau, that
the House had constantly refused to
adopt a resolution offered by Mr. Rogers,
requiring an accotnt of -the disposal of
the fonds, and charged that the rebi ob
ject or the bill was to cover ap the Freed.
comes Bureau and let it escape from ex
amination by confounding it with the
Bureau of Education.
The bill was further deceased by
Mews. Dockery, Shanks, Axtell, Hoar
and other members till the close of the
morning hoar, when, discusalon being
closed,
Mr. BENJAMIN moved to lay It on
' the table.
Rejected-63 against 92, and the bill
went over till the next morning hone.
- Mr. PAINE, from Election Commit
' tee, reported the credentials of members
elect from Texas were regular end that
' they were priviefeeie entitled to pleats.
Mr. BUTLER, of Maw,. was opposed to
the 'wearing ofedr. (loamy, one of the
members elect, and [engirt° the House
various afildavita accusing Idat of
Iwhipping negro soldier" while he was it
captain in the United State, army, and
of having boasted that he bribed a negro
to swear falsely before the military com•
mission which triad him.
Mr. VAN TRUMP asked whether the
affidavits were ex . pert.e. -
Mr. BUTLER &drain& they were.
Mr. VAN TRUMP submitted they
should not be need to affect the judgment
of the House. •
Mr. SHANKS moved to refer . the.,
charges against Mr. Connor to the Q,
mitten on Elections.
Mr. STEVENSON, member of the
Committee on Elections, defended the
report of the Committee and charged
that the objection made to Mr. Connor
was that he alone of the delegation was a
Democrat—a had Texan boy. That might
be all true. He did not expect to see any
very high specimen of Christian gen•
tlemen sent up hers from Texas, but
what bad they to do with that. How did
that effect Mr. Connor's right to a sae.':
The member from bleasaahnsetts,• who
charged that riernon, On affidavits, with
subornation of perjury, had. himself ete,,
fended a member of the House for a
greater...crime. It was le his judgment a
farce and worse. It was a base partisan
proceeding and as such he denounced It.
I . "Good for you," from a Democratic
member.)
Mr. ORTH denounced the proceeding
against Mr. Connor as moat preposterous.
Ile was • native of Indiana, had entered
the army and served continuously until
I the close of the war, and then hod been
appointed captain la the regular army, in
which he had served till the time be bad
accepted the nomination es a candidate
for Congress In Texas. Against) his
loyalty.the breath of suspicion could not
be brought. Captain Connor was charged
with being severe to his soldiers. If
that was a disqualification, other mem
bent of the House might be ousted. It,
might exclude those who were attempt - '
log to exclude this young man from
his seat, Ho was sorry Captain Connor
came here the only Democratic. "carpet
bagger" In ()entrees. Affidavits read
frotn newspapers were unworthy the at- I
minion of the House and-he hoped tho
House would prompt . ly say go.
Mr. DAWES said this was the Bret
time an objection had been made to
swearing in a member elect because I
of
unbecoming or improper conduct while
he was note member. While be (Mr.
ILiaises) was Chairmen of the Committee
, on Elections, statement' and affidavits
had been received as to the criminal
conduct of a member from New York,
and the Committee had directed him to
return them to the persons sending them,
with notice that it, was a nuestlon be.
tween the member. and hie constituents,
and If they choose to be represented by
the gentleman it wee their own business
and•not the business of the Committee
on Elections, or of the House. -
Mr. BUTLER said he would not reply
to the denunciation of his eloquent and
impulsive friend from Ohio, (Mr. Steven
eon), that thin was &partisan proceeding,
because with a majority three-fourth ,
In the House one Democrat more or less
wan of no consequence. Hilted believed I
it his duty to bring to the attention of
the House the four affidavits he had read
of officers and noncommissioned offi-1
are, swearing to what Captain Connor
had said at a public meeting, where he
advocated his election on the ground that I
hie negro soldiers and
he had whipped
bribed them to commit perjury.
Mr. GARFIELD asked If It would be
ale to establish a rule of Inquiry Into I
the character of speeches made by candi
dates for Congress?
• Mr. BUTLER replied Ids proposition
was, the House could inquire into
into. thing that °Debt ,to be inquired into.
(Laughter. I
fdr,,bTEVENSON—Iwould like to ask
the gentleman one question.
Mr. BUTLER—No, sir, I cannot yield
to you at all.

Mr. EHTLER—Then why 'at& me?
(Laughter.) •
Mr. STEVEIk.IBOS--Itecawso I believed
• you would refuse. •
Mr. BUTLER. went on to say he had
brought the affidavits to the attention
of Capt. Connor, and he had sold be was
. not responsible for what he had said in
a political speech to get vette.
The discussion, which at times became
quite heated. was further carried on by
Messrs. Ingersoll, Shanks and Butler,
of
Mass., against the right of Connor t o a
seat; and by Messrs. Hale, Stevenson,
Poland, Schenck and Banks in favor
of it.
Mr. SHANKS said he had Undo sent
Connor as a cadet to the Naval Academy
and bd • had been dismissed for titter
worthlessness. •
11 - .§TE'VENSON alluded to the fact
that the control of the subject had been
taken from the Com:nine. on ;Elections
by the gentleman who generally took
charge of every thing. Acoordlng to
the argument of that gentleman (But
ler) If any body brought to the Houma
cc park% affldavite, taken In Virginia,
New Orleans or Texas, making charges
against a member, be would have to •be
eluded from his Mat and tried on the
charges. Ile had beard some of the
meat outrageous charges mode against
sundry members of the House. Ile did
not believe them. lie did not believe
shy member teid over taken a minister
of the Gospel and °hien ed him In a ch aln
gang of waitron and made them all work
together like slaves. lie did not believe
any member of the House had carried
away the treasure of a whole cltyl
[Laughter.] It was false, If any body
said It. He for also would spurn with con.
tempt the man who would ask the House
such a question.• But if the House tried
. thisquestion, It would have to try that.

Mr. BTEVENSON—No, otr; I believe

Mr. BITILEI . I—That fo; l gria you live

Mr. STEV.ENSOW—The gentleman
robbed the Committee on Electlotus of its
whole time and gave back nye minutes.
(Laughter.)
Finally the dlsansalon closed.
The motion of Mr. Shanks was rejected
and the four Texas member. were
In. Their names. are W. T. Clark,
Connor, E. Begetter and 9. W. Whit.
more.
On motion of Mr. ORTEI, Mr. Conner
WAX allowed ten minutes for personal
explanation, in which he attributed the
opposition of Mr. Shanks to the fact that
hie (Mr. Connor's) father had been a
prominent opponent to that gentleman
In the convention that nominated him
for Congress, and that, he (Mr. Shanks)
supposed he owned him because be had
nominated hlm to the'lraval Academy.
As to Mr. Butler, he said that with all
that gentleman's talent and ability he
bad been forcibly impressed to-lay with
the oonviotioo Out be (Mr. Butler) had
missed hie calling and that he would
have made a much better character foe
himself In the profession of . low comm.'

The SPEAKER rendndad the gentle.

Mr. CONIN.:OIt=-1 withdraw It.

Mr. EIELANES reenacktd the member
from Texan had UM told the House Le

for utter worthlessness, and again added
he wan worthless. -
The SPEAKER reminded Mr. Shanks
that the gentleman from Term wee now
a member of the Mouse, and, that to.
marks in reference to him. Which were
in order an hour ago, were not In seder
now.
Mr. SHANKS—I Wog the pardolt elite

The Houle then — Went Into Com '
Latium of the Whole on the tariff bill and
was addremed in support of It by M.
SEHENCE, Chairmen of the Comtattteo
on Waya and Keane. He congratulated
the House on the aiming of the Mamie.
Om which bad been too general on gen.
*realties In general and not particular
enough on particulars in particular. He
ridiculed the lasso( free widow' &myth,

reminded the Howie that the effect of not

bill, If puned, would find a saving of

Iron, he would state frankly be never bad I
had the slightest desire to increase the

nor has the Committee done so In this
bill. The Cluounlttee had merely chaos

be apparently higher and some. were
lower, but the purpose of the Committee
had begat(' make the thane more specific
and to improve the classitioation, but to
keep the general average at about what
It now was. and not by any paeans to ad

He repelled the charges that the pend

a tariff bill proposed that looked so much
to agrlemitural Interests. • The tariff was
raised on flax and tow and flax seed, on

Gentlemen]of the &nate nod !ionic of
Representatives: Of the one hundred
and fifty thousand estimated population
of the Territory-of Utah It is well known
that all except from Bye to ten thousand
are Members of the Church of Jesus
Christ, Latter Thiy Sainte, usually called
Mormons. These are easetitlally the peo
ple. of this Territory. They have settled

time, and brought lute being a nevi State
to add a lustre to the national galaxy of
your glorious Union, and we, the ample
who have done thin, are bellevera 111 the
principle of plural marriageor polygamy,
not simply es promoting. social religion
and a preventive of many evils which
aill.ct our land, but as a- princi
ple revealed by God, underlying
our every hope of ultimate salve.
lion and happiness in heaven. We
believe in the pro-existence of the spirits
of men; that God I. the author of our
being; that marriage .1d ordained as the
legitimate source by which mankind
of tains an experience in his probation
on the earth; that the marriage reletlou
sales and extends throughout eternity,
and that without It no man :an attain to
sanitation in the celestial kinfdlOm of
God.
The revelation commanding the prin
ciple. of plural marriage Was given by
God, through Joseph Smith, to the
Church of Janie Christ, Latter Dry
Saints. In the first paragraph hi the,
following language:
"Behold, I reveal unto you. a neer'and
everlasting covenant, and if ye hoed not
that covenant, then are ye damned, for
no One can reject this covenant an d be
permitted to enter heavenly glory."
With this language before um we can
not view plural marriages in any other
light than in the vital principle of our re.
liglon. fat re;igion appear in the eyes
in others as it may, to us It la a divine
demand of equal- force with any ever
given by the Creator of the world to His
children in the flesh.
The Bible confessedly stands in our
nation as the foundation on which lawn
are based. It is the foundation on which
our ideas of right and wrong are drawn,
and it gives shape and force to our moral
ity. Yet it sustains plural Marriage and
In no Instance doralt condemn that Insti
tution.
Not only having, therefore, a revela
tion front Clod in the belief end practice
of th is principle obligatory upon us, we
have the warrant of the holy script urns
and the exempla of prophets and
righteottemen, shorn Ged loved, honor
ed and blessed.
And It should be borneAO mind, that
when tide principle was promulgated,
and the people of this-terrltory entered
upon Its powder., it was net a crime.
Hod revealed to us lila divine word as
contained in the Bible, which we had
I. been taught to venerate and regard as
holy and upheld it, and there was no law
applicable to us nicking our belief or
practice of it 'criminal. It Is crime In
this territory to-day only as the law of
1862, passed long yearn after our adoption '
of this principle a• part of oar religious '
faith, makes it such. The law of 11162 Is
now a -fact. One proacriptlon ' gives
strength to another. What yesterday
was opinion Is liable to day to be le,w.
It is for this reason we earnestly, fee •
pecifully remonstrate and protest against ,
the passage of the bill now before the
honorable Senate, feeling assured that
while It cannot acoMnplish any possible
good, It May result 1p a great amorost of
misery. It give. n& alternative but the
cruel one dr - rejecting Ged's command
and abjuring our religion, or disobeying
the. authority of t the Government
we desire to honor and respect. It is in
direct violation of the tint amendment of
the Constitution, which declares that
CongreasChall make no law respecting
en establishment of religion or prohibit-
ing the free exercise thereof. It robs our
priesthood of their erection and Heaven
bestowed powers, and gives them I.
justices of the Supreme Oaprt, justice.
of the peace and priests whose suthority
we cannot recognise. by empowering
I such as tea only ones to celebrate mar
' flags. As well might he law prescribe
who shall baptize for remission of sins,
or laying on of bands fur the reception
of the Holy Ghost. It encourages forni
cation and adultery, for all such mar
, rinses would be deemed Invalid and
without any reared or binding force
by our community, and those thus netted
together would, according to their belief
and religious convictions, be living In a
condition of habitual adultery, which
would bring the holy relation bf mar
-1 rlage into disrepute, destroy the safe
! guards of chastity and virtue. It is un
ostentatious' In that it is la direct opposl.
Ilion to section nine, article' one, of the
Constitution, which provides that "no
bill of attainder of ex post lento law
shall be passed." It destroys the
right trial by jury, providing for im
panelling jurors composed of indivld
' stale recognized as enemies of the as
°used and of foreigners to the district
where a case under it is to be tried, while
the sixth amendment to the Ooroffitution
provides that "in all - criminal prosecu
tions the accused shall enjoy the right
of speedy public trial by an impartial
jury of the State or district wherein the
crime has - been committed." It is con.
trarrto the eighth amendment of the
Constitution, which provides that "ex•
evasive fines shall not be imposed, nor
cruel unusual punishments inflicted."
It violates' the eighth section of Sr.l
Mile one of the Constitution, which
provides " that Congress shall establish
a uniform rule of naturalization through
out the United States," in that it pro
vides In section fifty-seventh a. new,
unheard of and special rule, applkiable‘
to the territory of Utah. It in unrepub.
lican In that in section tenth It please
men on unequal ground, by giro
, one portion of the citizens 'nape
'Son privileges to others because of
their belief. It strips us, in sections 17th
and :oath, of the land we have reclaimed
from barrenness and which we have paid
the government for, also of all possessory
rights to which weans entitled as waders.
it authorizes, by section 14th, the send
ing of criminals Into distant military
camps and prisons. It is moat unjust,
unconstitutional and proscriptive, in that
It disfranchises and proscribes America°_
citizens for no set but simply believ
ing In plurality of wives,
which
the bill styles "polygamy, bigamy,
or corionanage, ' even if they
never practiced or designed to practice
It. It offers a premium for prostitution
and corruption. In that it requires, in
sections eleventh and twelfth, husbands
and wives to violate the holiest vows
they can make and voluntarily bastardize
their own children. Section twentritrat
declares mastless to be ti civil contract,
names MTh** who alone shall solemnize
the rite, when our faith expressly holds
It as the most sacred ordinance, which
can only be administered by those hold
ing authority from Heaven, thus com
pelling us to discriminate In favor of
officers appointed by the Government
and against officers authorized by Al
mighty God. .It takes away the right
conscience and deprives us of an ordi
nance upon the correct administration of
which our happiness and eternal salvation
depend. It net only subverts religious
liberty, bt in sections 16th and 19th
violates every principal of civil liberty
and true republicanism, in that it bestows
upon Governors ',authority to govern
idle and prison', remove their wardens
and keepers, to appoint and remove pros
bate jUdges,justiees of the peace, Judges
of all elections, notaries Raja
and sheriffs. clothing one- man with
despOtio and in this republic Un
heard of powers. It thus deprives
people of all votes in the government of
the territory, reduces them to abject
vassalage, mutes a dangerous, irrespon
sible and eentrallzed despotism, from
which there is no appeal, and leaves
their lives, liberties and every human
right subject to the caprice of one man,
and that man selected and sent here from
afar. It proposea.in sections eleventh,
twelfth and seventeenth • to . panieh
American citizens, ncit for wrongs , Mit
for acts sanctioned by God and practiced
by his most favored servants, requiring
them to call those had men whom lOod
chose for his oracles and delegated to
honor,and even to omit reflections on the
ancestry of the SavioUr himself. It strikes
at the foundation of all republican
government, In that it dictates opin
ions and belief, preseribets what
shall and what shall not be believed
by citizens, and Maumee to decide on the
validity of the revelations from Almighty
God, the anther of existence. It disor
ganizes and reduces to a chaotic condi
tion every precinct, city and minty in
the Territory of Utah and substi
, tutes no adequate organization. It
subverts by summary . process neat
ly every law . on our stature
book. It violated the faith of the United
States, In that it breaks the original
contract made with the people of this
territory in the organic law, who ware
at the time that compact was made re
ceived es cit Mens from the Mexican
territory and known to be believers in
the doctrines in the Unurch of Jesus
Christ, Latter Day Sainte.'
We also wish your honorable bodies to
understand that the Legislature of this
Territory has never passed any law affect.
ing the primary disposal of soil. but
only gdop.ed regulations for controlling
our claims and pcsseolons, upon
which improvements to the amount of
millions of dollars have been made.
This bill In section 213th repeals the law
,of the territory containing said regula
tions, thereby leaving us nu legal pro
tection for our herd earned possessions
and accumulated labor of over, twenty
years, and exposing us to the mercy of
land speculators and vampires.
Gentlemen of the Senate and Ileums
of Itspresentaslvest, this bill which would
deprive us of religious liberty and every
political right worth having, is not di
rected againet the people of Utah as men
and women, but against their-holy re
ligion. Eighteen years ago, and ten
years before the passage of the anti-
Polygamy act of 1062, one of oar
leading men, Eider Orson Pratt, was ex
pressly deputised and sent to Waehlng
ton to publish and lecture on the princi
ple of plural marriage as practiced by us. -
kle lectured frequently ih that and other
clues,_ publishing a paper for a-length
of time, In which he established by
elaborate and convincing arguments the
divinity of .the revelation commanding
plural marriage, given through the
prophet Joseph Smith, and that doctrine
was sanctioned and endorsed by the
highest Biblical authority for ten years
before the passage of the act of 1e62.
The principle was widely preached
throughout the Union and the . world,
and was universally known and recogni
zed as the principle of our holyfaith.
We are thus explicit In medtio rang
thLs fact to show that patriarchal mar
riage has long been understood to be a
cardinal principle of our religion ;and
we would respectfully mention also, in
this connection, that while hundreds of
leading elders have been in the eastern
States and Wastangton, not one of them
has been cited to appear a. • witness
before the Committee on Territories to
prove thin principle Is part of our religion,
gentlemen well knowing that if
that were established the proposed
law would then be null and veld,
because of Its :unconstitutionality.
What we have done to enhance the
glory of our- country by pioneering,
opening up and making inhabitable.a
vest western region, is before the nation
and should receive a nation's thanks, not
a proscriptive edict to rob ns of every
right worth possessing and of the
very soil we have reclaimed
and then purchased from the Gov
ernment. -Before this soil - was Uni
ted Mates Ignitor" me..settled It, and
live hundred of oar- beet men responded
to the call of the Government In a war
with. Mexico and sweated in adding to'
the national domain. When we were
received into the Union our re.
ligton was known. Our early. olt .
cars, inelliding our find Govern
or, were nearly all Mormons, for
there were few others to elect from.
We were treated as citizens possessing
equal rights and. the original bond of
agreement between the United States
Government and the people inhabiting
this territory, conferred upon us the
right of self government in the came
degree ea le enjoyed by other territories
In the Union.
