4 correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Washington City, says, Col.
Steptoe. of the U. S Army, is here, the
guest of the President at the Executive
Mansion. 1t will be remembered he was
appointed BY the President last winter to
succeed Brigham Young in the Governor
ship OF Utah, but declined to accept the
responsible position. l understand it 10
his opinion that no other than military
Governor, with an adequate military force
can ever prove the error of Young's boast
that be will be Governor of Utah until
God Almighty tells him he need be Gov
ernor no longer As Military Governor
Col. Steptoe would undertake to teach
the Mormous the necessity of obedience

1t is now year and half since the
Presidents determination to test the
question of sovereignty with the Norm

Home IS not merely four square walls:
Though with pictures hung and gilded.
Home Is where affection calls
Filled with shrines the heart hath buiIded

Judge Kane, in speaking of the imprson-

Is Now undergoing restraint, not punish
ment If such is the case, is not Judge
Kane engaged in an illegal procedure ?
The courts have power to PUNISH for con-
tempt but We have never heard it alleged
that they have power to restrain any one
for contempt by incarce-a:i,n or any
other means than the fear of punishment
And if Passmore Williamson is not being
punished for alleged contempt. but mer-
ely undergoing restraint We think there
must be legal way Of getting him out of
prison Immediately.
Besides if Passmore Williamson is not
imprisoned for contempt, but kept there
in restraint. he is undergoing false impris-
onment, and his friends should turn the
tables upon his prosecutor by liberating
Williamson aud imprisoning Kane This
would prove a just rebuke to the Amerl-
