I write lustily aud briefly, in tho hope of staying in some measure tho humomoof do nunciotion that threatens to hreoh down the Kovmutnt prosecution of poly gamy in Utah, by driving Judge McKean from the bench on account of tho nao made of a cer tain Utah statute punishing adultery ami lascivious cohabitation. Ills as.nu.cdoiep where, by tho newspaper press that tho in tent of tho framers of said statute tvas to ex cept these vile practices from the pains and penalties imposed, when they were called “polygamy,” and professedly prec tiscsl as religion. Alias- me to show that this assumption is unsnstanted, and unsustainable hy a part.cleofproof. The attempt, even, to sustain tt made on the trial of Hasdais- nothing in tho statute itself to shon that those ivhomade it did notmean exactly tsha it Slid—no more, no less—asllcKean eltargcd tho jury. There is no proof but Mormon testiinonv that those men were polygamists, in iheo ri or pntetiee and that, oven, has not been adduced—doubtless from tho con viction that it would ho idle.
