MORMONISM, Its Evils unil What Tlidr Nature and Num ber Arc. firtfrtji thf Sm York H-ibunt. W.ASIUNOTO.V, March 2:>. Congressman Edwin Will it?, of Mich igau, who has paid much attention to the Mormon problem, has received from the Rev. D. J. McMillan, ?uperintendent of thc presbyterian missions in Utah, Idaho and Montana, an intcre.-ting letter re specting affairs in I'tah. The greater part ol this letter i? given below : In reply lo vourinquiries* respecin^' af fairs in Utah,"I shall state only what I know to he facts, and of which I eau fur nish abundant proof. While the school laws of Utah expressly forbid the use of public school funds for thc support of sectarian or denominational schools of any kind, it is a well known fact that the books of Mormon catechism are used as text books, aud children are required to use them as such underpenalty of expul sion from school. I know of cases where children were expelled Accordingly for no other offense tha;i refusal to study and recite lessons from those books. It H nn equally well known fact that no teachers can obtain employment in thoso schools except they are members of the Mor mon church paying tithe regularly. I know several non-Mormon teachers ofex pcriencc and nek now!edged qualifications superior to any Mormon teachers who applied for employment in the public schools and wero rejected on the sole ground that they were not Mormons. In one case a non-Mormon teacher o," a pri vate school-the only school in thc town where she was teaching-received for a time a portion of t''e public school fund, but the fund was aucrward withheld be cause she would not join the church, though at the time she field a first-grade certificate of qualifications from the coun ty board of examiners and was teaching to the entire satisfaction of all and in the only schoolhouse in tbetowu. The public school fund is n territorial appropriation of about threo dollars per annum per capita of the actual attendance at school. The remainder of the teacher's salary is collecteilastuition from patron*. Certifi cates of qualifications are required by law to bc held by all ttachors receiving any part of thc public school fuud ; it is a notorious fuct that in .t least two coun ties in Utah the only teachers holding Mich certificates were non-Mormons, who were teaching com.non schools und re ceiving only such tuition as they could collect, while Mormon teachers who held no such certificates, but who paid tithes to the church, and taught thc Book of Mormon and the catechism, received all the public school funds, estimated upon the attendance ot ali the schools, Mor mon and Gentile. Bishops in the several towns in those counties announced pub licly from their pulpits thal those who aUeniVH schools taucht by Mormon teachora would get a double benefit of tho public fund ii. e., $G per scholar), while those who attended thc other schools would get nothing. And, further more, the bishops compel parents, under severe penalties, to patronize the inferior Mormon teachers. Even they would glndly pay thc entire tuit;on for thc su perior instruction of thc non-Mormon teacher. Much more might bc ?aid of abuse in echool matters. Rut this is per haps enough. Tho rest may bo inferred from the fact tba' John Taylor, tho "Prophet, geer and Revelator" of the church, is the superintendent of public instruction for the territory. TUE BIGHTS OP TUE CUUIICII. The Mormon church asserts its right to control nil temporal nfluirs. All causes, civil, crimnal und ecclesiastical, aro to bo brought alike before tho bishop's court, with right of appeal to thc high council of the church, whero all ji.-8'.ice term;? nate.-.. Those arc not courts of record. Cases are simply brought up for trial ; thc case is stated, and thu presiding priest pronounces judgment and enforces pen alties arbitrarily. For example, a man attempted to enter a piece of land with out asking the bishop's, permission. This enraged the bishop, who at once appoint ed one of his faithful henchmen to build and occupy n iiouse upon thc Rame lund. A disputo nro.so between tho two claim ants, and thc bishop compelled both to nppear before him. He decided the case nt once against tho lawful claimant, "cut him off from the church" and "turned him over to tho buffetings of satan" which meant social ostracism and starva tion for want of livelihood. In this par ticular case, tho niau so foully wronged had the courage to appeal to thc land office for redress, aud obtained it. Whereupon the bishop on tho Sabbath morning succeeding, publicly said : "Brother-has shown himself lo bo an enemy to this people hy ignoring the priesthood and entering land as tho Gen tiles do. By tho power of tho holy priesthood which I possess, I have cast him off and turned him over to tho buf feting: cf satan, and I pronounce thc curso of tho Almighty upon him. Hin crops shall wither away and his land shall not yield her increase, mid he shall starve to death unless ho repents, gets bnptized ngnin to wash away tho sin of his rebellion, pays up his tithing and comes and begs pardon ; and nono of tho saints are to show him any counte nance or favor until he repents." Then the water-mnsler of the community, who is appointed by the mayor (who i* gener ally the bishop) wai instructed to allow that man no water to irrigate his land. And as nothing can pe raised from tho soil without irrigation, tho curse ol "withered crops" and ''starvation," etc., was fully experienced. For the sake of lils suffering and starving family, tho man gave up his land, was rcbnplized, nslccd pardon of tho priest and bowed his neck to tho yoko io silence. Any num ber of such oases can bc easily produced. The water-master is a mere thumbscrew for the bishop, and tho destiny of every crop is lu his hands. .'..Noi'.ui:;'. MAUD. Another fraud perpetrated upon tho people of Utah is thc manner in which they have been compelled to hold their lands. Brigham Young .declared that he had received the right and title to nil Utah direct from God, and no power on carib had any right to grant a title. When the towns were located, however, tho sales were regularly entered, but charters were granted by tho legislature' no extravagantly enlarging the boundaries of the so called "cUiea" that they covered all the valley* and left no land worth having beyond their limits. Then definite bounds were fixed to the lands allowed to be cultivated. These lands v/ere di vide I into small parcels of threo and five acres each, and ''church-deeds" were given to each purchaser. All laud marks established by the government surveying wore destroyed by command of tho Mor inom authorities, a? it was held tn bc an insult for the Babylonist government to intrude upon their sacred soil. The pow er, therefore, exercised over the people was absolute. For withholding tithes from the church or other offenses of so grave a nature the "deed"to farming land could bo revoked and tho poor fellow would have no redress but penitence. For les sor Offenoes water couid be withheld. ' Brigham Young declared "that all go* crnment on earth shall go down before their Kingdom of God, and no Latter Day Saint must ever recognize any other authority on earth. If any one appeals ' . those miserable scoundrels called " Judges that'tho Babylonia! government nt washington has sent hero, ho is an enemy of this peoplo and will be.treated as such." Tho penalties for voting con trary \o "counsel/'the non-payment of ? tithes, patronizing a Gontlle school, tra ding at other than tho Church store, or in any way aiding or showing- counte nance to n non ?Mormon, aro terrible over since.ibe days of blood atonement. So cial Ostracism meat much more than mere solitude' muong . /mer friends. It means to be regarded ns a felon, and to be left to starve without possible means of earning a livelihood. T1IK OITBESSIOS 1>EI>. One m.Mi well known in Utah o::ct said lo me : ''I have long pince lost ali faith in Mormonism, but if I let thc bishop know it I'll lose my land and re duce my family to starvation." Said an other man to me : "I haven't the cour age to act upon my own convictions. I aro compelled to vote a lio nt every elec tion and live a lie all the time, but if the government would only step in and sep arate me and my wives and make il pos sible for Us to live like civilized people we would b"1 happy. And there is many another man in my fix." A young .Mor mon a few months ago sold i. . a hou-e ?nd lot. He was immediate!; -ailed be fore thc bishop to answer for the crime of befriending a non-Mormon, ile was publicly denounced as an enemy to his neople, "cut off and "turtled over to the buffettings of Satan," with the usual curs es attending. Another, whose views are undergoing material changes, was for a similar offense, driven by necessity from home and compelled to seek employment forty miles away, whereas before hi-trad ing with a (?entile he wa.* in comfortable circumstances. < RIME*? ?OM?JITTKI?. On the other hand, crimes of theft aud murder and outrages t<?( numerous to specify here have been committed by Mormons in good and regular standing without their being subjected even to ar re-t, much less trial. Two years ago a Gentile was shot down by two Mormon policemen without ju-t cause or provoca tion in broad daylight, and they were tK'ver required even to suspend official duties. The insecurity of certain other rights in manifest in the fact that there j- no marriage law. Marriage* are per formed by bishops, justices of the peace, judges of probate ami other courts and ministers of the gospel, but there is no record or certificate either required or provided for. !n many cases it would be impossible .0 prove marriage,even where bigamy or polygamy does not exist. In some cases marriage is merely by mutual consent of the contracting parties. As lhere is no law against lascivious cohabi tation and no legal difference between that and the true marriage relation, the ties that bind husband and wife are neither safe not sacred. There is neither law or 'Healthful sentiment against incestuous alliances, so that revolting crimes against nature, decency and thc ordinary laws regulating civilized communities are of cobimon occurrence, and our polygamous legislature refuses to provide any rem edy. Much more might be written, but I shall not \v<-n ry you furl h er. If you .!> - eire sp?cifications under any or all the alleged irregularities I am prepared lo furnish them. Could the honorable members of congress fully realized thc situation in Utah, I am confident that not one would withhold either vote or voice or influence from any constitutional meas ure that would regulate existing/evils and rclea?e tho paralyzing grasp which Mor monism has upon every enterprise, for thc social purity and material prosperity of this land of marvellous resource?. Wc have herc s'.udy clements, nativo and foreign bom, who might become a prosperous and happy people if their rights and privileges were properly eon trolled by law. WHEN TO CU nit Y THU MULE.-The practice on many plantations of turning mules, wet with the sweat of the day's work, into tho lot, is a careless, slovenly ono which should be abandoned. Few planters allow their mules to go to walk in thc morning without being curr1 ed, and yet it is common to see them put np at night with wet and often mud dy coats. Let tho hostler who is in the habit of thus treating his mules, try tho tioatment on himself. Suppose a man should hbaitually sleep in the clothes in i which ho has worked during tho day wet I aa they will often he with perspiration, or perhaps with rain, without adding oilier covering as tho night grows cold. How would he survive thc treatment with Bound limbs. Now this is just what the careless hostler docs to his mule-he puts him to bed with a wet coat on without giving him additional covering for his protection against the cold air of the night. This should never be done, but no matter what the weather, the mule or horse should bc thoroughly rubbed down until his cont is dry, before bc is left for the night. The morning currying is of little importance to an animal that has n I clean bcd, if proper attention is given at evening. Careless hostlers, even if they i rub the animal down, are apt to neglect tho most importnnt pnrt, viz : The leg", which need more attention than tho whole body. No mutter how fine nnd plump the body of the horse may be, ho is worthless without sound limn, heneo the importance <>f giving them a thorough rubbing before putting thc animals up for the night. KAIE SOUTH EUS 1*A ROON KI ?.-The renders of thc lomb i ut ion are all famil iar willi thc story of Kate Southern, who killed Nnrcissa Cownrt, her rival in the affections of her husband, in Picketts county, some years ago. .She was sen tenced to death for tho killing. Thc Governor, in response to petitions from every Stnto in tho Union tn view of jus tice of tho case, commuted the death seulencc to ten years' imprisonment. Ou yesterday ho granted her n full purdon, and she ls this morning a free woman. Tho pardon was written out about 4 o'clock and was handed to her about G o'clock by Dr. Thoma?. Kaines, the physi cian of the penitentiary. Kate has been living for sometime as a domestic in the house of Col. Chess Howard. It is un derstood that she nnd her husband will net return to Picketts county, but will make their home elsewhere. Thus ends ono of the most noted cases ever in the courts of Georgia ; ono thnt created per haps more interest and excitement than any ever known in tho State,-Atlanta Constitution. A WHOI'I'KU.-;A citizen pf our county tells the following ns a true fact: He had a choice hen setting on nineteen eggs. One morning on paying thc hen a visit he found that she bad* left thc nest, and ho soon perceived thai a largo black ?r?akc had curied iiscii within the nest. Upon seeing this tho gentleman stepped back, gathered a stick and killed the snake. On cutting off the head of the snake, he took it by the tail, shaking it over the nest, tho nineteen eggs dropping back into the nest. Thc eggs being left in thc ncit, tho hen returned to her scat, and in due time she hatched eighteen little chickens, said by those who have seen them to be rare cftriosities. This peculiarity is noticed in the little chick ens as being afraid of every stick that they see, running back from a stick in tho greatest terror, uttering the cry of Eeve. Why this fear, does a stick rum lea snake?
