Here IS nearly three hundred thousand
dollars and it does not include the mail ser
vice. public buildings, and twenty thousand
dollars more on pcntcntiary and some other
items. Part of this has not been expended,
aud part expended is understood TO be un-
accounted for. Large appropriations are still
asked for the Territory. The cost Of the
transportation of the mail in Utah is Sl4,-
753 Ol, while the whole amount of postage
collected is but 50 ,OG4 "A. Notwithstanding
the United States have refunded the S20,-
$40 65 for supprossing Indian hostilites, yet
the United States officers there at the time
affirm that there was no Indian war whatever.
Two townships of land have been voted by
Congress TO establish a university but the
university exists only in name. Money was
asked for, and when land was given instead It
turned out joke, for all the land there worth
having can be had ON the squatter-stealing
principle. Instead Of such driblct rs two
townships, they seize the whole Territory.
Even the act for $4,000, at first passed by the
Utah Legislature in behalf of the university,
has been repealed.
We have memorials from Utah begging for
money to pay for the provisional government
of 1919. for gcodotc survey. for completion
of the capitol, for weekly mail, railroad,
military road, magnetic telegraph, &c. but
it seems to me, when so much has already
been appropriated, and when such liberal sums
are asked for, $50 many folds of favor, that
ingrattude and disloyalty furnish sorry re-

A DIsGUsTED DEMOCRAT.

We are ignorant Of the character Of the
grievances, as well as of the persons, so dark
ly portrayed in the subjoined paragraphs, but
are induced to reprint them as a specimen of
the style in which ''virtuous indignation" can
vent itself when occasion offers.
Mr. CARPENTER, of the Madison Pdiriot
the organ of the -Barstow wing Of the
Wisconsin Democracy, writes to his paper the
following
at is we'll known that in company with a
score of Democrats from Wisconsin, | re-
manned in Washington about a month to aid
in so exposing the misdeeds Of the Forty
Thieves that we should forever be rid of them
hereafter. and it must be notorious ere this
that most Of our endeavors have failed The
hopes for our party in the future are vanished,
and VIC have been cleaned out The 40
find favor at court, while the old standby
Democrats who have never been indicted for
stealing gambling, or perjuries, are permitted
to suck their fingers at a respectable distance "
That the writer is disgusted, but not unut-
torably So with the Administration, is eyi-
dent from his closing paragraphs
Il am arranging some business preparatory
to taking bee-line for Madison tomorrow
or next day, with the full determination that
the Union may be rent asunder, tn Potomac

as dry as my pockets Abolitionism revel in
rampant luxury and dominion at the National

THE DRED ScorT DEcIsGoN.-lt is said
that the decision of the L. $. Supreme Court
in the Dred Scott case, together with the
opinions Of the dissenting justices, will be is
sued next week. The Washington correspon-
dent of the n Y Courier and Enquirer says:
'Groat complaint is made by that portion
of the bar who approve and admire the opin
ions of Judges Mclean and Curtis, that the
Chief Justice should have withdrawn the
opinion which he read in open Court and
which the dissenting Justices refuted in their
able arguments, 1t is claimed by the friends
Of the Chief Justice that the people are abus-
ing the decision before they know what it is,
and they assert that he has 20 materially mod
fled his opinion, in the revision Of it, that it
is not the same paper read in Court This is
a most singular, and not a creditablo proceed
ing. The opinion Of Chief Justice fancy was
carefully written out il was read in "a con-
sultation of the Judges the dissenting JUS
tices replied to its statements and reasoning ;
and each opinion was then, in the course of
judicial proceeding, delivered by its author in
the court room, from his seat on the bench,
to a crowded and deeply interested audience
The Chief Justice permitted professional
stenographio reporter for the press TO take
down the words as they fell from his lips, and
all those passages which have excited the at
tenton of the country are literally correct,
while the general sketch is accurate. After
all the formalitos, the dissenting Justices and
/ the country had the right to suppose that
/ they had before them the official paper which
was to stand as the Judgment of the Court.
! But it seems they were mistaken. For aught
| the public now know, Chief Justice fancy
may have left nothing for his associates or the

MEN ALWAYS FIT FOR FREEDoM.-There
is only one cure for the evils which newly-ac-
quired freedom Produces and that cure is
freedom When prisoner leaves his cell he
cannot bear the light of day he is unable to
discriminate colors, or recognize faces but
the remedy is not to remand him into his
dungeon, but to accustom him to the rays of
the sun The blaze of truth and liberty may
at first dazzle and bewilder nations which
have become half blind in the house of bond
age but let them gaze on, and they will soon
be able to bear it. In few years men learn
to reason the extreme violence of opinion
subsidies hostile theories correct each other
the scattered elements of truth cease to con-
Aict, and begin to coalesee and, at length,
a system of justice and order is educed out of
the chaos Many politicians of our time are
in the habit of laying it down as self-evi-
dent proposition, that no people ought to be
free till they are fit to use THAR freedom. The
maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story,
who resolved not to 90 into the water till he
had learned to swim If men are to wait for
liberty till they become wise and good in
slavery, they may, indeed, wait forever.-T

NEW PoLrrTcAL MOVEMENT IL Penn
sYLyANGA.-A despatch from Harrisburgh
reports an important combination as develop
ing in the politics of that State. The regu-
Jar Democrats have nominated William j.
Packer for Governor, and the Republicans and
moderate Americans have united on David
Wilmot Now, however, the disaHected
Democrats and the streight-out Americans
propose to unite upon Governor Geary, as an
Independent third candidate, and the despatch
says he has agreed to accept their nomination.
Great excitement prevails among the politi-
clans of the State. The friends of both Will
mot and Packer are alarmed at the new de-
vclopment. But it cannot do great harm to
the cause Of truth and honest politics Penn
sylvania needs a thorough shaking up and
turning inside out politically; and If Gov.
Geary is the instrument for the operation, we
hone he will be used.-Bostoa 1faveller.
