[General] The Morrill bill "to punish and prevent the practice of polygamy in the Territories of the United States, and for other purposes, and to disapprove certain acts of the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Utah" passes the U.S. Senate by a vote of thirty-seven to two. It is signed into law the next month by President Lincoln.
