general with regard to farther legal proceedings against the cormons mormons Mor mons mr bates solution of the polygamy problem is as follows he lle recommends that the attorney general shail bhail direct that all the indictments now pending under the territorial statute for lewd and iasci lase cohabitation be abandoned and no further farther prosecutions instituted for past offenses omm off eases but that the mormons cormons be given to understand that any person who in future contracts a polygamous marriage shall bo be punished the murder cases he thinks should be prosecuted he also favors the immediate passage by congress of a law authorizing the he appeal of criminal cases from the supreme supreme court of utah to the supreme C court ourt of the united states if this were done ile he bays says brigham young would at once plead guilty to the chargo charge vf of violating the statute in int question abid and a case could up and a decision had from the supreme court during the present term mr bates does doek not think the leading mormons cormons are dis disposed poseA to accept hettling delegate Hoo hoopers perta perys plan nor for settling the difficulty namely that babon on beon teon of being admitted as a state they voluntarily renounce polygamy aa ail far as future marriages are concerned they talk of polygamy as aa a divine ordinance which they are not free to give up without sinning against their religion even if they should accept of mr hoopers compromise it lit is doubtful if congress would carry out its part of the bargain apart from the disinclination to 9 give IV 0 t to 0 the cormons mormons the powers of a state government there is very strong objection made to admitting any more states that have not P population opu lation sufficient for one member of congress the views of U S attorney bates will doubtless have little effect upon the administration for reasons which now appear insurmountable no law exists fo for r the payment on the part of the united states of expenses attending criminal prosecutions in the territories the expenses in the utah trials thus far have reached the sum of which the controller refuses to tb pass on i the ground of illegality of the expenditure the expenses for grand jury witnesses and outlays of this char character doter aeter are chargeable to the territorial government ern ment the people being to 0 be willing to pay these bums bumb to preserve the law but bat in this thib case the people do not sustain the case cue and the thia trials cannot therefore go on unless congress appropriates appropriate

appears p s from his statement that the at t V teney y general is powerless by the decision of the comptroller of the treasury not to pay the expenses of the criminal trials and that the territorial legislature of course will not provide the means to prosecute themselves for polygamy he represents that there are some twenty prisoners now confined at camp douglas at great expense the government having no 0 jail in which to keep its prisoners riso ners and he intimates that as gjere there is a question as to the legality of the composition of the grand jury which found the inglet indictments upon which they were arrested which la Is now being considered by the united states supreme court an action for trespass sg may hereafter bo be brought he represents that on december 4 1871 w when hen he entered on the discharge of his duties he found several beveral prisoners to be tried before a united states court and jury upon a territorial law and that no means could be obtained to defray the
