TYE NEWS AND IERALD.. WINNS3BO1to, S. 0. IURSDAY, APRIL 3, : 1870. R. MF,AN8 DAVIS, EDITOK. JNQ. 8. REYNOLD8. AssOCIATE EDITOn. The Fight in Congress. The great parliamentary contest in Washington has begun. The Itepub licans chose Garfield as their chan pion, and ho made a powerful speech, arraigning the Democrats for their revolutionary measures and acts. Ilis speech was a harangue, but it was chock full of campaign buncombe and will be spread broad-cast by the Re publican National Committee. Messrs. Wood, McMahon and others answered for the Democrats; but they did not warm up to the subject. If they wish to succeed they must harangue and gesticulate about Radical fraud and Radical rascality as the 1Raflicals howl about Democratic revolutiont. It is absurd to inaugurate aggressive war fare and then spend all the time re plying to Radical attacks. It is a very grave question how the North is going to side in this contest. The Radical leaders are very adroit in mnaking the worse appear the better reason, and whenever they are pushed to the wall, always p)ck up some poor fellow like. Jefferson Davis who cannot help himself, and shake him to pieces to show their - valor and prowess. This throws the dust in the eyes of a great many shnpletons who immediately conclude that we are on the brink of another rebellion. As Senator Hill says, the- total stock in trade of the party has been revolution. The secret of this whole Radical howling is that the party needs Grant, and wishes to run him on war issues. Grant will help this sentiment and the sentiment will help Grant, and the Democrats will havt hard work to keep any Northern States. But having once inaugurated the contest they should "keep their banners flying and hold out to the end. The Radicals are utterly inconsis tent. On the 3d of March Garfield and his party agreed to repeal the act allowing troops at the polls, and now he charges that the measure is down right revolution. It is said that Zach Chandler made so much capital by his Jeff Davis speech that all the Radicals have jumped into the same rut, and are endeavoring to crowd ahead of the Michigan Senator. Whenever the least opening appears, the doughty Radical office-seekers and placeinen rush for it like madmen, to make the most of it. They think they have struck a.good lead this time. The New York Herald correspond ent thus depicts the siiuation in Satur day's despatch: There is a rapidly increasing and intense political excitement here, but it Is ma ily shown b'y the Republicans, many of whom are very hitter indeed, and denounce their opponents wvith out measure. It was to be expected, therefore, that the ralleries would be crowded this mnorning to listen to the debate. Their occnpants took a lively and sometimes a noisv interest in what passed, G eneral~ Garfield being several times applauded. After Mr. Stephens had spokens, and the point of order was set tled, General Garfild made what was acknowledg edI by both Democrats and Republi cans to be .a powerful speech. In deed, the Republican memiibers thought it so effective that they subscribed for 100,000 copies of it at once for circula tion through the country. Ne verthe less, it must be said that General Gar field's effort was not an argument, hut a harangue. It (lid not dhiscuss the merits of the qjuetion at issue, ex ceplt incidentally, but dealt largely in denunciation. IHe assserted that the purpose of the Democrats -was to force the Executive to approve of measures to which lie is oposed or of starving the government. But Geni oral Garfild cannot be supposed to know either the President's mind or the intentions of the Democrats,, anid for all lhe knjows the President may. be ready to approve the bill and the Democrats may intend to withdraw their legislation If lhe objects and vetoes. When, therefore, lhe de niouniced.the Democrats as revolution ary heo w'as not ar'ginig, . but only haranguing. When ho asserted that the Democrats themselves had voted in 1865 for the measure they were nowv repealing lie wvas -corrected by Mr. Wood and others, who exp)laine(l that the Democrats thonu supported1 this as a choice between this anid a worse propositIon, and it seems that Mr. Garfild was here led- by his fervor beyonid the clear iregion oi facts. He recalled the old slave-catch ing times before the wvar, he recalled the days of 1861, the results of Ilhe war, and the folly and Iniquity of the men wvho forced the wvar. I-n fact, he "made It 'ugly" for the South and the Democrats. He ~mado san extremely effective campaigmi speech, a yy damaging pubili dootiment for the Democrats, and'onme Wileoh must have made thoem regrt as . they; sat tuid listened to him, h4rfolly in. forci an extra ssion.' Jut ho (did not es an argumen:t j'om bog4tniIng to end, and left the right or. Wrdng 6f the question preoisely ,where It stdod ie. fore he began.. On the whole he did wisely f9r l)ia party and bidnsel for it is - yr .well rememiberd(ha outhe last,isi ht'oi the astsosl lssi titanl" ontt he is iow so vgorously fighting -r; and that which 1e 11>W declatres revo litioiary, the lpp:eldinr; of political legislation o appropriation blills, has been done and dcfendel by Repullli cans wlen they hadt the 1mao1'itv. Iii 0110 of those instances they deliberate ly sent tan appropriation bill thu.s bur" dened with political legislation to he Presidenlt with the threat. that, if he! vetoed it they wounlt Ic the bill fail, and the 1'residenat signed it. lude' compulsion, "test by withholding h is' signature lie necessalry appropr"iation be defteated;" that is to say, that which they oW impute w'ithout; ground to the )emoerals, and which is unucl ebtely revolutionary, they did in I'resident" Johnson's day. M r. McMAnlon and Mr. W'ood fol lowed General Garfield. ''liev refut ed soIne of his statementc, but they cot\ld not meet his ar"gumiients, for he had not used anly ; and on the whole the glory of the day remained with him. hie had for listeners Secretaries ESva rts and Shlerman, Senat or Conlling and other prominent, Republicans, and he certtainly gave the Denoeraty rea st>n to regret their stupidity in insist ing upon legislation of no ii1ortance and puttlig themselves in what many of them now see is a fiatelly compro iised position. TII: Ii1ss oP BRIGLIAL YOU.N. An Liinumoratton of tho Contestants of the Propho'e Will. Commnenling upon proceeding. late ly instituted to contest the will of lrighaml Young, the New York 1'imes thus pr'sent:S the diiliculties in the way of Inanaging the eaFe fron tihe inumbleir of persons interested and the impossibility of' dist'o1erilg what money was the Prophet's and what belonged to the Church. It. says: So implicit was the Collfidenlcr, re posed in the Prophet that, the revenues of the Chur'ch and conln1unity over which he 'uled were held by him as if they were his owu. If there was any check on his disposal of these revenues it was only noinial. If thr l1CwaIs any priituation of his personal ilcom11e from11 the0 inicome of th IChurlChi and comiimunity, 110 outsider ever knew it. Practically, his income was whatever hechose to make it, inside ofthe amount which could be collected int tithes, rents, &c., fromt his followers. There Was no l3oard of Audit over the Prophet. 1Vh'en he died, he left by will the bulk of his property to the MormIon Church, thie only exception being in the provision made for at few of his elder chlildren. The rank and tile of Ils vast family were left tunpro prov.ided for. Naturally they do not like it. . The ingenious reader will readily perceive how intricate and lintereting a la wsuit lust atriso f'oim any attempt of the lawful heirs of Brighial Nloto's'5 body to set aside this will. ConsiTer how many Xl w *ip tkis i*u,jiad. The number of wonen to whbm he was fully married, according' to Mormon usage, was twenty-five, which is not, after all, so large a company of wives as that with which popular rumor credited him. These wives bore him many children, some eight, some six, and some0 only one or two. Allowing an1 average o1' only five chiildren0 to each wife, Young would hlave beeni thle faithier of 125 children. -It is ad mitted that he could not have knowni how many children had ai right to call him father. As Is first children were born before 18341, he had mniuy grand children, and -for aught we know to w~ere born unto him. . Then,' agin, his sonis conltl'aCted plural mnarrialges, and these plural marriages, and mar riages with- other mnen's wives, and1( inarriages with womeni alreacidy haviinlg chlildren, to sav iiothinig of their niumierous divorces and( separationls, must complicate the quelstioni of heir' ship beyond all possible unraveling. Brighamu Young Ihimuself was a hius band and a-father before he was a Mor moni. T1he dow ag'er N si Yug mar r'ied 10 Br'ighaim inl Ohio, ill 1834, suir ives her mhuch-miari'ied h1usbamil. The surviving childr'en and1( grand( children of thie first and1( originlal (but dIeceansed) Mirs. Young eniter'ed polyga miy,. and these aldd a peciarni elemnent to the legal contest which is said to be imnuniienlt. One other class of heirs is that mrade up of thle ofl'apring of' the so-called ''spirit.ual" mlarriages contracited hby the Pirophet. 1t is said that 110 record( was ever kept of' these con1tracts. Tihe w.omn were '"sealed" to Young, that is, they were figura tively' marked as wives wvho were to b'e fully r'ecognlized as such in the .futnre wiorld. Whatever may be said of the leality3 of Mormon p)llu'ral mar1 ring'es, cihildren born of'these "'sealed" wives are' cleaurly illegitimate. Never theless, they have rights as heirs. 'The oldest Mr's.
