Governor Woods’ Message Read to a Rebellious Legislature. POLYGAMY MUST CEASE. The “Saints” Must No Longer Defy the United States Laws Under the Guise of Religion. The “Church” Lawmakers Will Fight the Government Officials. ATTEMPT TO “SNUB” iHE GOVERNOR. No Money to Prosecute Brigham Young. Sart Lass City, Jan. 9, 1872. Governor Woods read his message belore the Legislature tn joius session this aiternoon tn the City Hatt, He treats mostly on local atiairs, and us Suggesttons are well concetved on the great ques- ttons of the hour to the Territory and nation. He Said that the Territories ave the wards of the repub- luc, and as such they are subject to the will of Con- gress. The constitution of the United States guar antoes freedom of conscience tn religion, but it ts: Presumed that ali religious convictions will be in harmony with the constitution, which is the su- preme law of the land, Auglit elso than this would be national suicide, POLYGAMY THE SAME AS BIGAMY. There is a law upon the starute book of the United States which makes plural marrtage in the Territories @ crime, and that law ts binding upon all cltizens alike and should be obeyed by all. No private interpretation or religious conviction can shield any person from tts operation. It is sald that this law ia unconstitutional ana votd, but the supreme judiclal trivunal of the repubtic has not sp deciared. Until then it is tn full force and virtue. Polygamy, or plural marriage, ts now practised in Utah in violation of this act, but this ought not to be, for tf one class of persons can violate one law with Impunity, and shicid themselves bentod the bulwarks of religious toleration, another class can do the same with some other law, and so on until religious dogmas are made to take tie place of the constitution and laws, aud anarchy would ensue. The advocates of such @ theory would invoke re- Ugious toleration to devour the very source from Which religious toleration emanates. GIVE UP DOUBLE AND TREBLE MARRIAGES, If there has been undue excttement tn this Terrt- tory recently which has threatened the public peace, disturbed commercial transactions and provoked criticism from abroad, doubtless It has been in part 1m consequence of a violation of this law, Asa friend, therefore, of the whole people, earnestly de- siring the peace and prosperity of al!, I urge you to take.such steps at this session a3 wil establish har- monious relations between the people of Utah and the general government upon this subject. There 18 now ho statute law in Utah upon the subject or Marriage, but I do not hestitate to say that, in my judgment, there ought to be, Marriage may be a sacrament, but it ty none the less a civil contract, This is the established doctrine of the republic, and it ought to be so regarded in this Territory, THE RIGUTS OF MARRIED WOMEN. There are many rights incident to and growing out of the marriage relations whici make {it abso- lutely necessary that there should be @ plato, post- tive statute upon that subject, such as the right of ; the wlie to support and to the protection of her epabraciag these pointe sn connection | person, including the protection of her children; her rignt to a separate estate and to her individual her deceased husvand. ‘These are claims which are in harmony with the spirit of the age, and are founded in equity and good judgment. I cannot urge you too strongly to speedily enact sucha law upon marriage as wiil meet this great public want, by 50 doing you will render to the people of the territory an invaluable service, in preventing vexa- tious Mtigatioa, which otherwise must inevitably come. GOVERNOR WOODS EXERCISING U113 RIGHTS. He claims by an organic act that he has a night to pominate notaries public, Territorial treasurers, an ' auditor of public accounts, a Ibrarian and a super- intendent of common schools, hitherto elected by the Legislature. Hereafter he will exercise bls right, and asks that the Legislature amend the acts so as 1o prevent any conflict between the executive and legislative departments. The Message recommends the passage of a mining law, and also a law a3 a basis for an em™- cient system of free scivols, with @ tax upon all property for their support. Also an appropriation to defray the expenses of @ commissioner W attend the centennial celebration of American independence. It suggests the establishment of an asylum for the insane; the necessity for a system of raliroads to penetrate every portion of the Territory, aud a Memorialization of Congress for a donation of lands, now unproductive and worthleas, to those who will improve them by irrigation. In conclusion, Governor Woods pledges himself that to develop the varict resources of the Terrl- tory, tomake more secure the rights and liberties of its citizens ana to secure the pure aud rapid en. forcement of tie laws, ue will give the Legisiature his hearty co-operation. ATYEMPT TO INSULT THE EXECUTIVE CHIEF, The reading of the Message was heard with cool Indifference. Tne usual motion to print one thou. sand copies Was offered, and Apostic Taller, of the Council, amended ine motion by reducing the num. ber to one hundred copics, with remarks mtenued tobe insuiting to the Governor, Finally, one thou- saud coples were ordered to be prinied.

In 1847 he was brevotted captain for gallant conduct in affairs with the enemy on the 19th and z0th days of November, 1847, and for mert- tortous service in California, He was Secretary of State of the ‘Verritory of California under the muiil- tary governments of Generals Kearny, Mason and Riley, from 1847 to the end of 184% Lo was chief of the staf of Commodore Sshu- brick tn the naval and military operations onthe Pacific coast in 1847 aud 1848, and was amember of the Convention tn 1849 to form and of the committee to draft tho constitution ot the State of California, In July, 1853, ho was appointed cap- tain of engineers, and resignod August 1, 1954, A very interesting anocdote ts told of the early life and studies of the General, As tt Is expressive of the firmness of character and manliness which have disunguished him during bts tle, we give it here, When about sixteen years of age he formed the determination to leave bis home unknown to hig parents, and seek his fortune in the world. After consulting an uncle who resided in Syracuse he removed to Hudson, N. Y., and took bourd 1m the family of [. V. Bassett, and, uuder the patronage of the aforesaid uncle, commenced his studies at the Hudson Academy, which was at that time conducted by J. W. Fairfield, ‘to conceal lis residence from his father he entere) the academy under the name of ilenry Wager, and was thus known during his three years’ residence in Hudson, He was known as a young man of quick erception and stuuious. babits, acquitting himself with honor in his stu ties, After Quishing bjs course at this academy, turoug li the influeuce of the un Ie before mentioned he was appointed a cadet at West Potut, and in due course graduated with honor, receiving bis licutenant’s commission. He served the country faithfully and well, He was reiated, on iis mother’s ste, to the tamily of Wagers, in Columbla county, she being a Niece Of the late Rev. Daniet Wager, of Guent. General Halleck was appointed a major general in the Uniced States Army ut the Instance of Lieu tenant General Scott, then about to retire from ace Uve service. Ilis commission bears date the 10th of August, 1861, Atthe time of his appolutment, General Malleck was the leading member of a most prominent jaw firm in san Francisco. Placed, Upon hia arrival from the Pactilc, in command ot the Deparument of the West, he prompuy swept away the abuses which bad ‘crept inio the service, und trom the very hour he assumed command the record of the war in the West was a succession of victories. Under his policy the South. ern forces were driven from Missouri, Middle and West Tennessee, inciuding tho capital of the State, were occupied by the Union armics, and a lodgment cbtatned for the Union troops in Northern Mississippt and Alabama and North- western Arkansas. From bis headquarters at St Louls, General Halieck directed tbe movements of tho grand armies under Generals Bucil, Grant, Pope and Curus, besides controlling the action of subor- dinate commanders in different parts of Missouri, aud he enjoyed tho reward of wituessing the open- ing of the Mississippi valley by the “ram feet” unuer Colonel Ellet, During the period when he commanded the Army Ol the Southwest a letter from dt Louls spoke tuus of his action and sorvices:—‘*Thero 1s surprisin vigor In the course pursued by Major Gencral Ha'- Jeck in nis dealings with the Missouri revels.

He levies on the property Of rich traitors to support the poor Union retugees driven from their homes by Price and his fol- towers, Le puts mutinous volunteers to work ou fortificatlous. He requires oMcers of the University of Missouri, which was endowed uy the United States, to take the outn of allegiance or resign within thirty days. He requires presidents and directors. of ratiroad companies to do tae same, and also airects them to employ none but’ loyal citizens on their ro He directs that no contracts be made except h per sons Who have taken the Oath of allegiance, and le orders that all clerks, agents and Clvi! employes in the service of the government also take it. General Halleck does all these extraordinary things under military law, and as he ts Known to be weil versed in maintary jurisprudence and the author of @ work on a kindred branel, he does not do them fgnorantly. While thus deaing with the traltors at home General Laiieck does not neglect the traitors In arms. The various divi- sions in his department are moving with as much vigor and rapidity as the weather and roads will admit of, Several corps are closing tu on Price, at the Southwest, while anotier is watching Jet Thompson, .at the Southeast, and still another is Moving on the Mississip)! idently Inteading to attack the main revel army at Columbus’? ‘The oficial orders and addresses of General Hal- Jeck, givea from ttme to time, prove that he con- ceived the war to Le prosecuted solely for the pres. ervation of the Union and the maintensnce of the constitution—the “old’’ constitution of Washington and Madison.
