1t is said that when roguos fall out honest
men get their due But one thing is quite
certain-they are very sure to get {, good
knowledge OF the character Of the rogucs--
Judge Drummond's onslaught on the Nor
mons has prov okel from them retort, and
one Judge Appleby, Mormon, who we be.
lieye was clerk Of the Supreme Court in Utah,
has published a letter in "The Mormon,' a
paper published in New ork city, in which
he propounds a number Of questions toJudge
Drummond, and says when truthful! an
swer is given, all suspicion viii no doubt
cease about his not being respected in Utah.
The questions number twenty-three in all,
which we publish below, emitting 4 number
as not having general interest The very
plain differences to be dra.n from the qucs-
tons, we have no doubt are strictly true, as
they correspond to what is already known OF
Drummond by citizens OF this place, and al
so to his general character 1t is now rem
dered quite certain that he resigned his
Judgship for the purpose OF getting the ap-
pointment OF Governor of Utah, that he might
return there vested with sufficient power and
authority to revenge himself ON the Nor
mons for the indigni;es offered his Ada, y
the romantic lady whom Drummond first
sac IN q dream. The Mormons are bad
enough IN all conscience, but the int;:my OF
Judge Drummond makes them appear res
pectuble in comparison, and since tao mask
has been torn from him, We trust that 40
respectable Journal will hereafter countcn-
ance him so much as to publish any of his
letters Appleby publishes quite a lengthy
letter which, of course, defends the Mor
mons. In the questions he leaves the name
OF Drummond blank, but in an editorial IN
the same paper, attention is called to the
communication, in which the name ci Drum
mond is used qnite freely 1t viii be seen
that one Col Hall has desire to see Drum
mond For our own part we tank 1t not
much matter how soon ne has that pleasure.
Here are the questions to which Drummond
is re.iuestel to give a truthful answer:
