Dreadful State Of Brigham Young
to be saperceded, aud an Army sent to the
Territory.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, writes under date of Thus
day -
\ letter WIS received here to-day from W.
". DrummoEd, United States Supreme
Judge in Utah Territory, by the administra-
ton 1t gives sad and deplorable picture of
matters in that Territory. The following is
taken from the letter:
The leading men of the church are more
traitorous than ever. Only few DAYS since
all the papers. records dockets, and nine hun
dred volumes Of the laws, we've taken out of

holds his life at the will Of Brigham Young !;
and here we are without protection.

murdered by Mormons under direction of
Brigham Young, and not by Indians. Muir

If the above is a true statement Of tho con-
ditiou Of affairs in Utah Territory, it calls for
the prompt interposition Of the General Gov

dictator. and he IS one. in fact When Pres

Army, as Governor of Utah, he was colnpell-
ed to resign lis commission and leave the
Territory. III consequence Of the Interference
of Young and the leading Mormous, in his

1t is said that Mr. buchanan will appoint a
Governor, who is in no way connected with
the Mormon Church. We hope he will do so
and sustain him with strong military force
II is the only way to bring Brigham Young
to terms.

The Annortionment Bill.

1t is one Of the duties of the present I-egis-

the Chairman of the Committee in the House.
and Dir. Jordon the Senator from Bedford, is
the Chairman of the same Committee in the
Senate Mr. Jordan has reported his bill
which elnbodies the views of a majority of the
Senate Committee that majority being Re

a Democratic member OF the Senate Commit
tee, has made minority report but We have

Jordan's bill, but have not time this week to
enter into detailed statement of its defects
Ii is altogether one sided affair. Mr. Jor-
dan is generous enough to give Cambria one
member; we are entitled TO member, and
will have it, without even tho sanction of Mr..
Jordan. In this Senatorial district, Cambria
is connected by Jordan's bill, with Clearfeld,
Elk, and Jefferson. That would be rery
beautiful arrangement, and would do great
credit to Mr. Jordan's knowledge of the ge-
ography of the State We presume that
