The penalty of six months imprisonment and $3tK fine as a maximum for unlawful cohabitato be tion, is shown in its application to the magnitude entirely inadequate of the offense. The claim that many Mo rmcmSj entered into ipolyg-ajnou- s relations before it was a crime bpt true, and should not have the consideration asked for that claim. It was always a crime, and in every which every country and State from one of them came; it was a crime when this was Mexican territory and after it became the property of the United States it continued to be under our common law, and in it was made a statutory offense in all the Territories by Congress.

To the end that a republican lorm of government may be established in Utah 1 give the reasons in part, and the remedies that will accomplish the end after. Many patients have sought died because the, doctors disagteed. control has continued in Polygamoiu Utah because it has been able to bring about disagreements In the past among the doctors at It is utter folly Washington. to hope for a thorough settlement as long as political power Is continued in the hands of persons who belong to an organization which teaches and counsels its members to commit the crime of bigamy, polygamy or any other crime. It is demonstrated to be Idle to hope lor reform from within, and the man that continues that hope is an obstructionist. The fallacy of the profession that all Mormons were Democrats was absolutely refuted by the utter failure ot the support by them of a Democratic ticKet and straight-ou- t their adherence to the Mormon ticket, as shown by a movement which was inaugurated last spring, and summer, when it was hoped by all, and believed by many, that iu presenting a straight-ou- t Democratic ticket many of the younger Mormons, at least, would ally themselves with parties in a national sense. In this movement were a number of ou" leading cit zens, but notwithstanding an active canvass in this city and county the slight vote demonstrated that it was a process too slow to be carried out by this or the following generation. With the machinery of the courts as now organized it is shown that, whilst say fifty are convicted of prevailing offenses and kept iu the penitentiary for six months, two hundred and fifty during a like period may be mustered into polygamy. The advice ol the leaders to their people is "to continue to live up to their privthat the storm will soon blow ileges;" over. The much to be regretted resignation of district attorney Dickson is looked upon by them as a break in the cloud. The fact that an organization exists that holds allegiance to an authority over and above that of the United States is the great evil to be corrected and that polygamy, debasing as It is, is secondary in importance, although a main prop to that organization leaves little nope for the completion of nationallsupremacy here witnolt a continued prosecution against offenders by court with increased facilities, and penalties, and by further and decisive legislation' by Congress. Therefore, Congress must assume a more direct control of the Territory, rather than the negative control heretofore exercised. 1 commend to your consideration what is known as the "Idaho is as follows: statute,"2.which "SKC No person under guardianship, non compos mentis, or insane, nor any persons convicted of treason, leiony or bribery in this Territory, or in any other State or Territory in the Union, unless restored to civil rights. or any person who is a bigamist, or poiygamist, or who teacnes, advises, counsels or encourages any person or persons to become bigamists or polygamists, or to commit crime defined bv other any law, or to enter iuto what is known as plural or celestial marriage, or who is a member of any order, organization or association which teaches, advises. counsels, or encourages members or uevoiees or any otner persons to com mil the crime of bigamy or polygamy. other crime denned by law, orany either as a rite or ceremony of such order, organization or association, or otherwise, snail be permitted to vote at any election, or to bold any position, or office of honor, trust or profit within this Territory' If Congress will enact this for Utah. that end hoped for by anygood citizens wouiu De tne result. This law was born out of the necessities of the situ ation in Idaho, is founded in reason and Justice, and has been sustained in the only court In which it has been tested. It is suggested that ithe wily leaders of the organization aimed at by this law propose to cut off its members in Idaho pro forma in order to defeat the operation of this law. 1 have therefore recommended the repeat of that part of the organic law of this Territory, which provides for a legislature, and in place of it the of a legislative council, to be by the President and conappointed firmed by the Senate, and to be com- tne very best men In the Terposeo oi ritory. ' After carefully considering all the objections that have been made to this remedy I find no reason to cbinge my opinion as to tbe advisability of this measure. Should it be deemed objectionable by Congress, as unauthorized, to delegate the power to pass penal statutes, then Congress can pass a penal code for the Territory aud to tbe council such authority delegate as may safely and unquestionably, be given. In this way we have a direct Paren' goernment. JS?01..0?..' While the Idaho statute u the more radical of the wo, I prefer to have Congress and tbe President control dithrough their chosen rectly, and srencles, in tfte belief that upon the whole and in tbe end, it will prove more satisfactory to the body of tbe Territory and to the great Tbs country. practical operation of the Idaho statute would be to have a legislature elected' by tbe The creation or class distinctions is to be avoided if possible: and therefore, I believe that it would be better to have Congress assume as direct control as practical, even if, by so doing, all of us as well as Mormons are thereby denied the right of scll-gov- cl . l!i-- - I pis t , ( I non-Mormo- evnon-Monno- nf .

For a number of years an unlawful Territorial Government in part has been persisted in, iu violation of a law of Congress, and my effort to correct it. I ask your attentiou to my report of as to the whole question In Utah, and especially to this feature. All Territorial officers created by Territorial statutes are holding on by virtue of an unauthorized and unlawful election held years ago, and contrary to the law of Congresw, an adjudication of the supreme court of the Territory, the decision of the Utah Commission, and the later decision of Attorney-GenerGarland. It is questionable if the bond heretofore given by these de facto officials would protect the public In ease of unlawful expenditures, defalcations or malfeasance In office. Very important business and educational interests are Involved in this matter.aud the last legislat ure weut so far as to strike down the Deseret University by leaving it without an rather than to see the appropriation will of Congress caried out in th' Government of Utah. I have delayed further action in this matter, trusting Genthat with the opinion of Attorney eral Garland befoie them, sustaining my previous action, tbe legislature soon to assemble would recognize the law, and that a satisfactory determination of this matter would follow.

To say hat Congress has no .tutlnu il y to sin h a stHtute is to deny the right of CouKtvHK to pass any statute for the Territories, or een to establish any It form ol Territorial government. has been said that the establishment ot a commission is unusual and undemocratic. When unusual conditions exist, uuusual remedies must be applied, But the history ot the country .nIravs that it is neither unusual nor tindemo-- : eralic. Dlflereiit statutes ol eveiy ami the long line ul decisions Congress, bv the Supreme Con it espei ially In lie Yankton-- 1 ukota as , show the power ol Congress to jbe as complete over Utah as it is in tlie District of Columbia. If it was riHit un wise to apply the rule sought to t ie District of Columbia, is it not right and wise when a worse cou.litiou of aflfilrs exists here than did exist there, to apply that same rule and government here? also ask your attention to the pre cedeut of 17s7, in establishing the The Louisiaua Northwest Territory statute, which had the sanction of Mr.I Jr ffetsou, presents the exact remedy suggest. i'ti body of the people at ihe time ol its purchase Uy out government, were thought to be incapable or at least not ready, to be Intrusted with the power ol unlimited Territorial (jiovtriiinenl A legislative coaucil was provided. In Florida and other parts of the counliy, the same principle was applied,, aud in Michigan. Lewis Cass, and the district judges constituted the legislative council and passed laws for that Territory. Where an unusual condition Of affairs has existed iu the Territories this has been the accepted and usual remedy. And without exception has been acceptable and satisfactory to the United States, aud this particular measure was orig inally recommended for Utah years ago by Stephen A Douglas, and seconded by Frank Blair. it is said that this action is to be avoided; if possible! will grant that. But a crisis is at bawd, and the neces sity exists for positive governmental action. Tnis failing to be done, conflict aud military government will fol low in the future. 1 have stood for nearly six years in the midst of a storm, and in kindness am attempting to stay the people from rushing headlong to tlnir own destruction. Tbe government is reaching out its kindh bandlto rescue the Mormon peeple from being carried over the precipice into which the stubborn leaders of an alien polygamous organization are steering them. They cannot save themselves it seems, and therefore they must be saved in spite of themselves. Humanity (demands it. The honor of the name of the United States demands it, and it is the unmistakable duty ol the Government promptly to do so. therefore present the two propositions, namely: That embodied in the Idaho statute and that embodied in the Louisiana statute, preferring the latter, as being less unusual aud less radical, and theiefore to be preferred, if it will settle tbe question, which I am confident either will accomplish. If I am mistaken, then a more heroic action must vt iiltii one-ha'- half-mastin- 10, i lf ion, may not longer in safety le fol of the flags lowed. The oh the morning of July 4, last, on the court-houscity hall," Mormon headowned or quarters, aud other buildings controlled by Mormons, was such an occurence as trreatly to outrage the feelings of patriotic people. While tbe outrage to the flag on that day was not greater thau tbeofoutrage lor years to the nation, and but the sovereignty a continuation of like insults offered to every officer of the United States aud every loyal man who lor the last thirty years has endeavored to do his duty in Utah, yet it was of such a character as appealed more directly to the reseut This, was meiit of ail Americans shown iu ex Confederate ami soldiers joining with other citizens la having it properly placed and at least outwardly respected The defense on public buildings. oi this treatment of the tUg on tin; part of the Mormon authorities, including the city council. I regard as more reureheuslble than tbe insult it self. An outbreak was avoided, but bad there been 'a statute at least permit ting the soldiers of the United Siati s to protect the flag from gross insult, this of llsell would have avoided tb apparent necessity lor their sei vices .n preventing riot aud bloodshed.

Tbe recent massacre of Chinamen in Wyomiug, and other reasons I might mention, present the m ces.-it- y of a change in the law or regulations in reference to the use of troops ol the United States In the Territories. Whatever may be the arguments so far as States are coueerned, they do not apply to the Territories, and, in my opin , , '.MOUIiDIlTG, '., III.
