The government OF Utah provided by Con-
gress would continue unexecuted, except SO far
as it vested authority in Bingham Young,
and entitled the Territory to delegate on the
floor Of the House of Representatives to OBJ
tain, appropriations for the insubordinate Saints
Of the Salt Lake. Besdes-it is confidently
affirmed, we know not with what truth, that
the men in authority in Utah have used the
money appropriated for the strangled terrific
rial government as they pleased; and that they
have thus far failed TO make report to the
government of their transactions in this particu-
lar. These are grave matters, and we doubt not
that Congress will be called upon to consider
them. What conclusion will be arrived at we
cannot say. Perhaps a repeal of the terrific
rial government, leaving the Mormons to shift
for themselves until they manifest more
moderate disposition, would in the process Of
time bring them to their senses. Perhaps not.
At present they are living in open defiance OF
the legitimate authority of the Federal Gov
eminent, and we have to deal with them in re-
gard to that defiance before we need trouble
ourselves to count their wives--a matter which
we have, in our judgment, but little concern
with. We have sins enough of our own to re.
pent Of, and they will hardly be repented Of, il
we spend our time lamenting over the sins Of
others. That is our notion.

SENTENCE OF DIR. GRAHAM.

DR.. Graham, Of Louisiana, who was con
victed two or three weeks ago Of manslaughter
in the second degree, for killing Mr.. Loring, Of
California, at the Saint Nicholas Hotel in New
York, has received his sentence. A motion
for new trial is pending and the Judge con
scented to postponement ofthe execution ofthe
sentence until that motion is disposed of.
The punishment of the offence for which DR..
Graham was convicted is Imprisonment in the
State Prison for not less than two nor more than
seven years. The verdict ofthe jury defines the
offence and the court fixes the term Of impris-
onment within the limits we have mentioned.
The court in this instance went to the extreme
limit of the law, and sentenced DIR. Graham
to seven years imprisonment in the State Pri-
son. This sentence is defended by summoning
up of evidence which we cannot find space for
this morning.

The Hindoo is the most religious being in ex
istence. Rising up and sitting down, walking
and standing, drinking and eating, waking and
sleeping, obeying the ,precePts of his moral
code, and disregarding them, all he does is with
the spirit of religion. Not an action he per-
forms, not step he takes, not word he utters,
not breath he draws, but he does all agreea-
bly, to the Institutes Of his religion. 1t is pre-.
scribed to Brahmin which foot he must put
out first getting up he must then carefully
cleanse his teeth then follows religious ablu-
ton Of the whole body; next he recites inau-
dibly certain sacred texts his hair and nails
must be cut round, though he must never cut
them himself; his mantle must be white; his
staff made of the canonical wood, must be of
such length as to reach his hair, straight,
without fracture, of handsome appearance,
with its bark perfect; he must wear golden ear.
rings. He must not eat with his own wife
nor look at her eating, or sneezing or yawning,
or sitting carelessly at her ease, or setting off
her eyes with black powder, or seeming herself
He must not blow the fire, nor warm his feet
in it nor stride over it; he must not sleep with
his feet wet he must not step over string to
which calf is tied he must not pass over the
shadow of a red-haired man. He must read
the Yedas in various ways; every word singly,
or every other word twice, or backwards. He
must not look upon the rising or the setting
sun, nor when it is clouded over, or upon its
image in the water. He must avoid standing
upon hair or ashes, or bones, or potsherds, or
husks of grain. He must not remain even
under the shade Of tree with outcasts, or
idiots, or washermen, or other vile persons.

Sa-The American officers in the Turkish

nA-Tbe American officers in the Turkish
service, under Omar Pasha, in the principal.
ties, and General GuyoD, in Asia, have, in all
the military operations, thus far, conducted
themselves 30 well as to win much praise.
Among these is mentioned Mr.. Porter, Of
New Jersey, who enjoys the confidence of
Omar Pacha, and who gave the Russians the
last blow near Busco, after which he brought
back the squadron in safety, although at the
time nearly sourrounded by a vastly superior
force of the enemy. Two Americans serving
under Guyon, in Asia, also distinguished them
selves whenever an opportunity offered.

FURTHER NEWS FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Atlantic arrived at New
York on Sunday, bringing four days later news
Nothing decisive had transpired in the Crimea
The garrison of Sebastopol not only maintained
itself against the besieging army, but had made
a sortie and spiked sixteen guns belonging to
the allies. We should remember that all our
accounts of the Eastern war come to us through
English channels, and make due allowance for
that very important fact in forming an estimate
Of the progress of the seige. The arrival Of
two sons Of the Gear in the Crimea, indicates
stubborn and desperate resistance to the
English and French forces.

THE "oRaAN."

We received yesterday the first number Of
the Know-nothing paper, whose advent was
some time since announced. The Organ is
well printed on good paper, and is under the
editorial management Of Hon. Vespasian Ellis,
assisted by Richard NJ. Heath, Esq. Both Of
these gentlemen possess fine abilities, and are
good writer's. We doubt not but that they
will make the most of the cause they advocate,
and win for their journal reputation for abil-
ity, if not for safe and sound political princi-
ples

London Gaming Housc-Its Inner Life.
A little volume has recently been published
in London, entitled Ny Haunts,D which con-
tains some very light and agreeable reading:
"Come, we have reached the aristocratic lit
tie neighborhood Of ST. James street; and yon-
der house--that one with the bright fanlight
over the doors the scene of our intended
visit. Do you see those two police constables,
one on either side Of the doorway? Some years
ago the son of an eminent statesman, recently
deceased, lost a very large sum of money in
one Of those places, and since that time the
doors Of all suspected gambling houses have
been watched by the police. They are sup
posed to take an accurate account of the num-
Der of persons who enter, their style and ap-
parent position in life.
"They wish us good night as we pull the
ivory knob communicating with the spring
bell, which does not make the usual CHATTER,
but sounds only once; and for that good night
you will, if you win, give half crown as you
emerge into the cold, gray light Of morning.
The sergeant passing on his rounds will see
you slip the coin into the hand Of his subordi-
nate, will you good morning As you pass, and
in all probability, be paid with segar for his
ciyility. On the gay spirits of the metropolis
do the proprietors Of houses of this stamp
mainly depend and many little perquisties
solace the srduous duties ofthe West End night

rooms they are; brilliantly lighted, warmly
curtained, and plentifully mirrored. Look at
the table spread out in the back room, and
covered with cold fowl, ham, tongue, beef and
salads; these, with wines, spirits and cigars,
are provided gratuitously. Indeed, the more

Along the dusty pavement streams busy
host. The eye in vain attempts to fix upon the
fitting faces. The passing glimpse and the

gutta-percha heads which may be made to as

How wild and dim this life appears,
One long, deep, heavy sigh
When DER our eyes, half closed in tears,
The images Of former years
Are family glittering by,
And still forgotten while they go!
As, on the ses-beacb, wave on wave
Dissolve al once in snow.
The amber clouds one moment lie
Then, like dream, are gone
Though beautiful the moonbesms play
On tho lakes bosom, bright as they,
And the soul intensely loves their stay,
Soon as the radiance mclts away,
We scarce believe il shone!
Heaven. airs amid the happenings dwell,
And we wish they ne'er may fade;
They cease--and the soul Is silent cell,
Where music never played!
Dreams follow dreams, through the long night
hours.
Each lovelier than the last;
But. ere the breath Of morning flowers,
That gorgeous world flies past;
And many sweet angelic cheek,
Whose smiles Of love and fondnoss speak,
Clides by % on this earth;
While In day we cannot tell
Where shone the face we love so we'll
Id sadness or in sorrow.
