The GoyERNORsHIP OF UTAH.-We have sat
ished oursclf that the Utah-governorship pro-
blem will shortly be settled by commissioning
Col. Cummins, Of Missouri to that now most
arduous and trying post under the Government

not been definitely arranged, which incident
ally operated to make It questionable whether
Col. G. could go thither under circumstances

fculties, We apprehend, have been one by one
obviated, until so few remain as that there can
be little question now as to his acceptance of
the post. lie Is gentleman of high personal
character, the result of lis conduct for a long
life time i'll the far West, where he has executed

the place; while his temper-an element of
great Importance under the circumstances-is
proverbially even, firm and conciliatory, with
out being such as to admit the possibility that
he will make any concessions that NAV leonard
izc his final success in the work Of re-estabIisb
ing the supremacy of the laws and government
Of the United States in that quarter, without
bloodshed, it is to be hoped

that it is telling in all directions and is des-
tined to tell with powerful effect hereafter on
the Western and Northern popular mind.
