WW— — l —WWWW——W——BW—wo—■— The Mormon Question. Had there been a ffblltical issue over the Mormon imbroglio, it is probable the miserable society would have gone the way the "woodbine twineth" long ago, doubtless finding a grave prior to that other iniquitous institution, slavery. But as it is not- a partisan matter, it is shorn of the agitation, debate" and'atten tion usually bestowed upon the great questions of thertiny. The great political parties all claim to abhor, d°test and denounce the shameful system, yet none of them have the pluck or courage to wage an encounter against it, a>dUe from an occasional spread-eagle speech and those periodical platform res olutions, served tip at the national con ventions. Congress ever full of promises for any sort of reform cautiously takes up and in kid gloVe manner handles this evil but signally; fails to pass or see executed any practical measures that are likely to up root "fir"seriously injure the infamous in stitution. There living in security, un molested and unconquored, occupying the garden of the United States, this so ciety has grown in opulence and increas ed iu numbers till to-day it is a powerful political as well as religious organization whose demoralizing teachings and degen erating influence are imbueing the fol lowers with a spirit hostile to the Gov ernment from which they received pro tection, comfort) and cxistance. The pest is not confined to Utah alone as is gener ally supposed. The ".mildew and blight spread into Idaho, while even Arizona and Nevada begin to* feel its tenacious and destructive grip. Good authority assures us that the morals of this people are of a low grade their educetiou is neg lected, their genius and intellect are un developed, while the social status is de plorable and the family relations any thing but harmonious and healthy. Plurality of wives in this age and coun try is not calculated to advance the thrift happiness or morals of auy people or sect. In fact like all kindred vices, it wars with the ennobling characteristics of mankind, dwarling the spirit of progress and destroying the genius of the home, that grand foundation of divine origin, upon which rest the lame honor and greatness of any people or nation. The household 111 Mormondom iu the true sense of tue word is a myth and shadow, existing only in name, having none ot that attraction, pernancy and sanctity that mark it in Christian communities. In short We will know of the crooked ness, leuduess and abomination of this degenerating institution. We are aware of the low status of the "Saints" in a so cial, intellectual and moral point of view. Their disloyalty to the Government that fosters them upon its lands is pat ent to all anil their cruelty and murders practiced upon the Gentiles among them is a matter of history. In view of these and many other reasons we think it be hooves our Government to act in the mat ter and at once too, not pursueing a nam by pambv policy as has been done here tofore but "go for them" oh the war path, subjecting them to our laws, com pelling theiu to respect and protect the rights and property of others among them and finally breakinll up ami sweep ing out of existance that system of faith and practice, the legitimate fruits of which are decay decline and degeneracy. President Garfield has given good evi dence that a new policy shall be adopted iu the matter of which there surely is much need. Aud if during his adminis tration he shall break up the shameful system and destroy the sinful institution of Mormonism as it now exists in our States aud Territories, the grand eveut will be the crowning act of his life. Sir Edward Thornton, British Minister at Washington, has received notice from the British government of his appoint ment as Ambassador to Russia, and im mediately telegraphed his acceptance. It is proposed by the citizens of Washing ton to make some friendly demonstra tions hi honor of Mr. Thornton before his departure- He and his family are very popular there and their removal will be deeply regretted.
