The article presents information on socio-political conditions of the U.S. The United States Supreme Court has decided to appeal in the case of a Mormon named George Reynolds, convicted of bigamy by the District Court in Utah, that the United States statute of 1862, prohibiting bigamy in the Territories, is constitutional. The only difficulty now in the way of putting down polygamy is that of supplying proof of marriage, and getting monogamous jurors; but this, the Mormons having been put on their guard, may be great.
