"Polygamy must be suppressed -- Evening, Feb. 9. 1876 .Wednesday JUDGE WHITE'S CHARGE Judge White's charge to the Grand Jury uf iWa Thin! Judicial District, n Monday lad, is a clear and concise daumek f Andi viewig it from his standpoint, it is a fair and candid atatemeit, of the peculiar position ' ncc'uptecf By the peopfe of this TerriGovtory in f elation to the general ernment. It is a fact which cannot be dispute!, that the Act ef Congress of 1862 ia not respected by quite a If number of persons in Utah. This does not arise from any spirit of nor from any desire to the authority of theG3vernmeut the ,ox just powers of Congress. But it grows out ef hnpnlse, which urges them to obey what they hare 1 flojepted as a commandment of God, and which conflicts with the Act to, and from the conviction hataaid act is in violation of the Constitution, which prescribes and limits the powers of Congress. Their general character bears out statement. a And1 Judge , White acknowledges this in the following re-yi- st a' words: . ; , ." bow , i much I differ from belief, nor how widely they differ from tbe masses of the American people in mutters of relipiou, yet testing which the IB tin and it. by a standard world reoogaiies as just, that is, what '', I ley praoiice and wbat they have acoom-tflixbed, and they deserve higher coneid-- f ratioa than has ever been aoeorded to them. Industry, frugality, temperance, ..loueety, and in erery reipect but one i bedleaoe to law, are with them the fOommoa practices of life. v' This land they bure redeemed from kterility, and oocupie 1 its onoe barren "'mAiiudei with oities, tillages, cultivated tleldi and f irm houses, and made it the habitation of numerous people where a tegRtr is never seen and alms houses nre neither needed or known. 'No matter Miem In ", Territory." And as proof of why it must give way, he shows the odds ia the coflict to be: "Forty million of people erainst less tban one hundred thousand." We agree with him that the odds are great, bat da not join in his con clusions. We put or trust ia a higher Power than the strength of the forty millions. If the principle ia our practice which he admits is the only one that brings us into col lision with the forty millions is, as we say, of divin9 origin, the dispar ity in numbers will count for nothing. True, a few of the devotees of this faith may go down before the might of the many, like the Christians and martyrs of old, but the principles for which they contended will live after ' them, aud their individual failure will aid in making the triumph of the principles. Bat it is not a fact that forty millions are opposed to us. Popular opinion in the main, is opposed to plural marriage. But sift the whole nation, and take out only those who are positively iu antagonism to the "Mormons" on this question, and the "millions" will dwindle down astonishingly. It is easy to say the "institution must be suppressed," but it is very difficult to suppress it. And we cannot believe that this greet nation will resort to unlawful measures to enforce a law, nor violate the spirit of our national liberty to coerce or crush out a zealous people, whose consciences forbid their acceptance of a partial and prescriptive statute, framed specially against an essential part of "an establishment of religion." Judge White's charge to the jury is consistent and manly, but time will show that some of his conclusions are fallacious. , . . The eonflict betwean she practices fa few persons in the midBt of the Rocky Mountains and an inoperative hwof doubtful validity, is magnified und kept up as an issue of tcrriblo Moment to the country, by a small odiqne of adventurers, anxious to vdrive the "Mormons" from their possessions that they may revel in the spoils.' The bills presented to Con- ress for infamous partial legislation , vre thojr work, those who introduce 1 them being merely catspaws. It may be a matter of importance that the constitutionality of the Act ' of '62 be determined by the court of list resort. But this is a point that affects tbe , "Mormons", themselves rather than the country. And yet and soma of them legislators, M people; are led to believe that the very safety of the Union and tire welfare of forty millions of people are vitally affected by the acts of a few individuals, otherwise lawabiding and tractable, who fiem religious motives disregard one Act which' able lawyers consider uo , 1 ;tyntitutioQal Judge White, we are pleased to ' perceive, does not join in this hue tnd cry. He charges the Grand J ury tS do their simple- duty, without descending to the depths of calumny and the slime of false accusation, in which McKeaa and lio reman floundered on similar occasions. Without , - . vituperation or abuse, he denounces polygamy simply from a legal standpoint, leaving the "consideration of its moral or immoral tendencies" entirely out of the question. In this ' we consider he performed his duty. ;Ve do not agree with some of Ilia Honor's conclusions, but, we cainot find fault with a judicial officer in discharging faithfully the obligations imposed upan him. The "Mor biobs" have no cause to be particu lurly "struck after" Judge White, seeing that he is the only Judge who has ever sentenced a defendant polygamy. But they admire any man, no matter how much he may oppose them, if he keeps within the bounds of his rights, and while ad- f-- r , - Municipal.

House law motion was decided in tbe Third District Court, yesterday, ia tbe suits of Wiggins and Loomis against the U. P. railway company. The plaintiffs, Geo. Lomis and John G. Wiggins, were a of a gang ef monte sharpers wbe prt infested this city a year or two ago, and were pot off the trains of the U. P. com pany for practising , their three- card moute games on tbe cars, contrary to the rules of the company. Tbey each of them brought suit against the company for $2000 damages. Mjor Hempstead, attorney for the U. P., made answer to tbe complaint, and plaintiffs demurred to the answer. Last week arguments on the subject were heard, and yesterday Jadge White overruled the demurrer. The plaintiffs intend appealing tq the Supreme Court. If Judge White's ruling is sustained in the higher court, it will have a powerful inffuence in breaking up the operations of tbree-car- d saoate sharps, as the railway companies will be able to exclude tbem from their cars, and unsuspecting and verdant travelers.
