And members of the Republican party have been induced to present bills suggested by the representatives ot this handful of aspirants, which would not only take away the rights reserv ed by the people but those whi?h have been guaranteed to the people by the Constitution and the laws of the land. The right to elect their own officers, the right of trial by jury, the right to bear arms, the right of t to handle religious liberty, their own local taxes, the right to legislate according to powers granted by Congress, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in their own way, are all aimed at by the special legislation sought to be passed upon the people of this Territory.

"Polygamy" is the hackneyed excuse for insst of what is attempted against Utah. Supposing that, plural marriage is an evil. This, however, has yet to be demonstrated. The system is under trial. It is a problem not ye fully worked out. But granting it is an evil, what means should be taken to extirpate it? Unconstitutional, proscriptive, special and partial enactments? The disfranchisement of thousands of citizens? The violation of guaranteed rights and privileges? The delivery of a whole Territory into the hands of three or a half a dozen Federal officers not elected by the people? No ! A thousand times no ! This would be utterly subversive of the principles that lie at the foundation of our national Government, and a complete apostasy from the doctrines of Republicanism. If the party which is now threatened with dissolution in consequence of its departure from avowed fundamental principles, has any respect left for its original declarations, repeated and confirmed by successive conventional platforms, it will .cast out from the Senate and the House, all such measures as the Poland bill, the McKee bill, and others stamped with similar infamous and despotic designs. And while aiming to establish respect for and obedience to law in every part of the Union, take especial care that they do not themselves become lawanti-Americ- an breakers by violating the organic act of the nation, the instrument which prescribes the bounds as well as bestows the powers possessed by Con- gress. THE UIGCSEST BORE L THE WOULD. The project of building a railway across the English channel is again from The short sea-trirevived. England to France is a very disagreeable part of the journey, few persons being able to rcsirt the effects on the stomach of the motion caused by the rolling billows on the little chaunel steamers. A submarine railway would abolish this difficulty in' the way of continental toumts, and be a triumph of engineering science into the bargain. Thescheme has been treated impracticable and preposterous, but there is no reason why, with capital, skill, perseverence and determination, the work could not be accomplished. One fatal objection to cremation Fatal Accident at Iljrum. Hyrum City, Cache Co.. April 2Gth, 1874. Editob Ogden Junction: Will you please publish the following, and oblige. Between ten and eleven o'clock yesterday morning, this city was thrown into tearful excitement by the report that an accident had occurred in Black smith's Fork Canyon. Tho following are the facts of this unfortunate affair, which has resulted in the death of James M. Hansea, (better known as Johnny Monsen.) and Thomas Owens, son of Mr. Cadwallader Owens. Mr. 'Owens and his son left home about nine o'clock on Saturday morning for the caoyen, and when about two miles up, at a place called Transtom's Slide, they met and passed Johnny Monsen, who was coming down with a load of ties for the U. N. R. R. They had scarcely passed each other when the men who were building a new bridge, shouted to them that a rock slide was coming; but before they had time to get out of the way, a fearful amount of rock broke lose from the top of the mountain, and came down with an awful crash into the road, extending not less than forty rods. The first rock struck Mr. Owens' wagon wheel and tore it in;o fragments; the next struck his son, a lad about fifteen years of age, killing him instantaneously: tearing the top of his bead completely off, and breaking his right shoulder and right ankle, also his lelt thigh. Mr. Owens was knocked off his wagon into the road, where he lay insensible for some time. He has a large cut on the right side of his head, and is much bruised on his body. His escape is a perfect miracle. It was found that Johnny Monsen had sustained fearlul injuries. He was thrown from his wagon intothe road He has a terrible gash over the right eye, his left foot and ankle were completely smashed. Every aid was, rendered by the men on the greand, and the unfortunate sufferers were conveyed to their homes. A messenger was al once dispatched for Dr. Ormsbyof Logan who arrived about two o'clock in the afternoon and found it necessary to amputate Monsea's leg just below the calf. The cut over the right eye and extending nearly from the nose to the ear, was near two inches deep, with a part of the scull drove id; he was also badly bruised about his stomach. Dr. Ormsby said he could give but little aope of his recovery. He lingered until 12.40 Sunday morn ing, wnen team relieved tne poor from his sufferings. Bro. James M. Hansen was bo years of age he was a kind and affectionate husband and highly esteemed by all who knew him, he was a home missionary in this county, and a most promising young man. lit leaves a wile and three small children to mourn his loss. Some idea can be formed of the terri ble nature of this accident by the follow Mr. Owens waeon ing particulars: long and single trees were broken, while the horses escaped unhurt. Monsen's wagon and ties were completely smashed into splinters, the heavy iron tires being bent into all manners of shapes, as though they had been wire; one horse was killed, the other escaped, but was badly bruised. The funeral took place at four o clock this afternoon, the Public Hall was filled to overflowing. A large number of per sons were unable to gain admittance. Appropriate addresses were delivered bv Bishop O.N. Liljenquist and Elder C. C. Shaw. The funeral procession ex tended a quarter of a mile. Much sym pathy was felt for the families and friends, of thee unfortunate men. A very siugular circumstance in in James M, Hansen's case is, that for the past two weeks he bad been engaged with a company, cutting timber, about miles up the kanyon, but his twenty-fivlittle son was taken very sick, and it was deemed necessary to send for the father, as the child was in a dangerous He came home on Wednescondition. the on and following Saturday, he day, C.
