election there 4l9 votes s0dd To have been gwen

CH' interesting lack - mere Presented:
that notwithstanding the rain r;hc caualso
confidently predicted from the competition
Of the Rock Island railroad, the increase in
tolls is in a larger ratio since that compcti-
ton has been encountered than it was before
Another fact is observable: that the in
crease inroccipt3 commenced with the re-
duction Of tolls in tie spring of 1853. The
falling or in receipts in 1852 is wholly attri.
butable to the high tolls Of that season.
And another fact, though not in the above
table, is worthy Of observation, and that is
that notwithstanding there is 4 large and
steady increase in the aggregate Of tolls re.
ceived, there has for the last four years been
n steady falling off at both tcrmini oftho can.
alat Chicago and IL Sale. The increase
is at the intermediate Offices, where, in some
cases, the receipts are doubled. The fact is
important as showing, that, whatever irnpor.
lance may be attrchcd TO the through bust

canal is self reliant, and independent Of it..

GOVERNOR or UrAM-Thc President has
appointed Col. Steptoc, Of the U. S. Army,
Governor Of Utah, in place Of Brigham
Young. 1t is reported of Young that he has
said that he would be Governor until God
Almighty should say, brigham, you needn't
be Governor anylongcr." We have seen no
announcement that Brigham has been re-.
lievcd from his duties in the manner indi-
Gated, but it is thought the people of Utah
will pay very little regard to any other gov
crnment than that which Brigham exercises
over them. His ecclesiastical functions arc
regarded as embracing within their scope all
the political duties and civil obligations and
rights of the people, If then, Col Steptoe is
such q man as are generally found in our
army there may be some hot work between
him and Brigham before long.
