Show The Decision. We publish this morning the text of Chief Justice Lowe's decision, made yesterday, on the order to show cause why the defendant in the suit of Ann Eliza Young vs. Brigham Young, should not be compelled by attachment to pay to the plaintifl$9,-500 plaintifl$9,-500 alimony pendente lite a Bimilar order to the one under which ex-Chief ex-Chief Justice McKean committed the defendant to prison a few weeks ago, Comment on the two decisions is unnecessary. un-necessary. A contrast of tho two will demonstrate which is based upon law and which upon personal prejudices.

An unbiased judge, who respected the law, could never have made the order, as is shown by tho clear reasoning reason-ing and authorities upon which yesterday's yes-terday's decision is based. This deci-1 sion h:is been looked forward to with a degree of anxiety on the part of tho public, and now that it has been made, will have a marked effect upon society here, and inciting confidence in. the courts. It indicates, not that Justice Lotvc leans to the side of tho Mormons or against them as a people but rather that it is law which must govern his judicial acts, whether the parties concerned bo of one faith or , another.
