The City Council of Leavenworth have refused to
pay the Governors liquor bill. The facts of the case
are stated in the following report of the Committee to
whom the bill was submitted:
LEAvrSwoRIa Cry. X. TO-
The Committee 10 whom referred the bill pre-
sented to the City Council against the City OF Leaveu
worth for the entertainment Of Governor Walker and
suite, ask leave to make the following report:
We find, on examination, that, upon the arrival OF
his Excellency Robert j. Walker, in our city on the
25th of May last that the City Council passed reso-
luton rendering the hospitality Of the city to the new
Governor believing that the then acting Council con-
tenplated giving his Exceency an entertainment SUIT.
able TO the OCCASION and creditabe to our young city,
At 9 O'Clock of the same day. the Governor wac re-
Guesed TO address the citizens who had gathered Ia
large numbers in front of the Planters House. He
refused to address them but, in lieu thereon, had
bottles of brandy and champagne, to the value OF
two hui and ten dollars l2l0, distributed among
the crowd that were present. and this bill Is now pre-
scented by the propriet,rs OF said Planters Hotel Tor
payment. ,.u
We are first opposed to the allowance OF this bill,
because it was not contemplated by the City Council
that the hospitality of this city so generously rendered
bis Exec lie ncy, should be thus abused.
Ard in the second place, that it would establish
dangerous and perniciOus precedent
And in the third place, we will not give our lnhu-
ence nor open the City Treasury Tor the encourage
ment of iLtemperance mother OF crime.
We therefore recommend that the bill be laid on
the table. All of which is respectfully submitted

Price cane up che eded from the sand and proceeded
without further bndrance. The Price was unuckiy
obliged to wait long time. A night excursion was
now inevitable, and women and children particularly

THE INDIANS IN UrAH-TKE CRoPs.-A letter ffoa
one of the Indian Agents at Great Salt Lake City to
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs states that among
the Utah. and other tribes in the Territory there
have been no disturbances during the quarter esdng
June 30. He attributes the harmony which has pre-
vailed amorg these tribes for more than year to the
Efforts made to establish suitable resery aons among
them, and to introduce agriculture. There has beeo
great influx of Indians from the eastern side Of the
mountains in search of something to eat who report
that many Of their children and the weaker members
of their families, also many Of their hcrses and
much of their game, had persisted in consequence Of
the severity of the Winter.
Agent Hunt adds:
1--WE have in cultivation this season at these settle.
mepts about $50 acres, as follows: At the Spanish
Fork farm, go acres wheat 40 oats, 10 barley, ~
corn, 8 potatoes, buckwbeat, turnps, and acrss
