What Was Rejected.

The following resolutions were laid
Def IRE the Platform Committee of the
Republican State Conventions. on the
18th inst. and rejected by that body
"Resolyed, That zoe fully approve Of
tile uo.es and acts Of the Republican
members Of Congress during The last
session, en- their Efforts to prevent gross
outrage and injustice to tile people Of
KanSaS.
.'Resolocd, That sDithout IN any
mer compromising ne positions, de1,b
erateLy taken and naaintasned, we-invite
all men of all parties to JDin US in re
storing the Government to its original
purity and principles, and preserving it
as an Inheritance for those who may
come after u.s."
So it seems the Convention declined
to approve Of The courSc of the Repub-
lican Representatives in Congress in vo-
ting for the Cfittendeng M Montgomery
Kansas Bill And also refused to sag
that, for the sake of getting others to
go in with them, they would not ''eom-
promise their position deliberately ia
ken" The inference is, that they are
willing to compromise their principles
The refusal to iEdorse the Republican
members of Congress, who all to q man
stood by NJ C%rittenden, shows how
overwhelmingly the Influence of Chase
was in that body Gin. Enquirer.

condition Of salt Lake City.


The Utah correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican,, writing from Salt
Like City under date of June Is, thus
describes the state of affairs since the
arrival of the United States officers
This city, which six weeks ago con-
tanned not less than fifteen thousand in
habitants, now has but little over one
hundred, they all having emigrated to a
small town, about fifty miles south, call
ed Provo, where they live, some in tents,
some in wagons, some in small houses,
and some without any n of these com
forts. And even to this day, notwith-
standing the treaty of peace, they o n
tinue to leave the city which they have
been for the last ten years attempting
to build. The roofs of the public
works, the floors of the houses, and all
the board fencing, have been used in
boarding up the floors and windows of
the houses. All appear desolate-hard-
ly a person can be seen, save about the
post Office, and about a small, but neat
restaurant, which is the only place of
accommodation in the city, aud it only
affords relief in the way of meals
IN " u CtuI > with Cdu Ot UOu0ut uSTe,
nor can any work be procured from the
manufacturing establishments. One ba.
ker shop embraces all the trade and com.
merce in th, city.
The Governor, aud lady were fortu
nate enough to come across. a person
kind enough to pc nit them to occupy
his house !; but all others, officers and
strangers, have {, enjoy the luxury OF
sleeping in their carriages or on the
ground.
The course of this people will doubt
less seem strange to you, aud it is really
unaccountable A people, the large
majority of whom are poor and needy,
to leave their comfortable houses and
take UP quarters in the open prairies,
and this after a settlement of all diff
culties had been adjusted, does seem
strange s-io- 5f4 hzfpm51-
The war may be at an end, but there
is yet some shadow of doubt. | have
asked many of the Mormons. why it is
they continue to remove their households
and provisions at so great an expense,
when all things are reported settled
But few will answer in plain terms, and
those who do, say that they have not
confidence in the fuIillment of what
they consider the agreement.
That they want to see the army enter
and locate, before they change the plans
previously adopted by them. The fact
is this, if the army locates adjacent to
this city, the Mormons will not return
to it, aud will, in all probability, de
stroy the whole city, and this Infection
may acc upt for their refusing TO allow
any one to occupy their houses.

From The west.
WASHINGTON, July 18th.


ST. LOUIS, Julyl6 {.
Letters from Fort Kearney, June
18th, say Gen. Harney's headquarters
has been cncamped there six days in
expectation of the arrival of new in-
structions from the War Department.
A teamster had been tried and acquit-
ted on charge of melting his companions
to rob Capt. Handbook of fifty thousand
dollars under his charge for meeting in
p6idenfal expenses. Co.'S. May and Nor
rison had passed Fort Kearney. The
latter gave Harvey his first salute as
Brigadier General. A postscript to q
letter says the Express arrived, bat
brings ne advices from Washington
We shall resume our march to morrow.
Independence mail dates to tie 18th
ult, arrived. News unimpoi tant. A
difficulty occurred, growing out of per
s%istence Of Indians in driving horses and
cattle upon hay ground known as Errel
Camp, near Fort Defiance. Maj Brooks
had been obliged to send a Company of
soldiers to drive the herds off and pro
tect the grounds from eucroachmenr.-
Several cattle and ponies were killed by
the soldiers, and d skirmish occurred be-
tween the troops and the Indians, but
mono of either party were killed or
wounded. Our dispatches from Leaven
worth 18th, per u. S. Express to Boon
vile, and say Express arrived to-day
from Gen. Harvey. who was on the sixth
encamped seventy-fve miles beyond
Fort Kearpey. Col. Monroe's column
was beyond South fork of the Platte.
Col May was a short distance in rear
of head quarters. All columns we'll and
in splendid condition.
A despatch dated Nebraska City 5th,
says trains just arrived from Kearney,
report that officers at Fort had received
intelligence that Gen. Jobnston had
entered Salt Lake City with troops.
This is probably a mistake.

N. E.Transfer ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of Mr.. Bull.


Mr.: s. T. Bull, State Agent of Ohio
here, who has been connected with that
agency for twenty years, has resigned,
and with great regret, the State officers
have accepted his resignation. The
name of Mr.. James A. Briggs. former
ly of Ohio, has been sent to the Gov
ernor for. the vacancy. and lie will no
doubt be confirmed. The new arrange.
ments made by the State, which require
all transfers to DO made at Columbus,
and all interest not collected by the 18th
of the month, after maturity, to be coll
lected also at Columbus, which arrange
ments, have given a great deal of dissat-
isfae tion here, are probably the princi-
pal reasons for MIR. Bulls resignation.
IN. Y. Tribune.
It is altogether probable that the
wholesome legislation of last winter,
which divorced the finances of the State
from their connection with the stock
gamblers of Wall Street, has ''given a
great deal of dissatisfaction" Within
a few months after the Inauguration of
the late Republican dynasty, State Off
GERS who, when elected, were poor as
Lazarus, suddenly had means to estab-
lish Banking Houses; and even now a
concern in Cleveland is operating on
money which doubtless belonged to the
Sinking Fund. It is @ a matter of
surprise, therefore, that since the Dem.
~ocratic Legislation imposed such safe
guards around the treasure of the peo-
pie, and such penalties for future misap.
plicaiion o ftfhe- Public Moneys, that
this old rat becomes Disguised, and re-
tires upon the plumber he acquired dur
ing the ALFRED KELLEY and Republi-
can management of the State fuan
ces. Othello's occupations gone ! Our
Sinking Fund Commissioners receive
Mr.. Bulls resignation with "grcat re-
greet" No wonder. But they receive
the Democratic legislation that estoppcd
their misuse of the public money with
yet more regret.
The Cleveland Herald in re publish
ing the Tri6ume's paragraph appends the
following comments, in which it does not
spare its party managers:
"Of course Wall Street will grumble
at any arrangement which in the least
curtails its power, but the time is draw
ing along speedily when States and cor
porations will discover that the least
possible they have with tie
blacklegs which control Wall Street the
better will they fare. If Mr.. Bull was
SO devoted to the ''beasts of prey" as to
resign because of their ~grumbling, it is
very well that a new Agent should be
selected. Mr.. BRIGGs will make a good
officer"
Mr.. BR1oes, although a Republican,
will, as the Herald says, "make a good
ofieer.ni Heisa gentleman of undoubt-
ed integrity, aud will be faithful to the
obligations which the new law will i'm
pose upon him.

though a very large number OF Wool Growers
have awaited themselves of these advantages du-
ring the las four years. yet. surprising as it may
appear to many. on receipts have been larger from
Merchants and Wool-buyers than from Wool
growers, aad this may be accounted for maiuly
from the fact, that, as a class. woolgrowers have

are wholly opposed to all efforts having for their
object the systematiztng orthe wool trade. or the
enhancement o fprices to the producer.
The past year, characterized as it has been by
the most disastrous flnanciaIembarrassments, has
been one of the most unfortunate for negotiating
and managing sales of wool, aud the fact that the
enterprise has been remarkably sue cessful, not
lwIthstanding these disadvantages, and given al
most universal satisfaction to consignors, should,
we think. inspire sufficient confidence to induce
large consignn. ents from wool growers.
To those who have been prejudiced by false
rumors, and who have manifested a want of con
fdence we have frequently made advances equal
TO the price they have been offered for their wool.
Such advances, however, should not be required,
as the enterprise was started for their benefit. and
this object has been teadily kept in view, and we
hope the encouragement will be such as to enable
us to continue our Efforts Indeed, wool growers.

r WASHINGTON, July 18th.
Our financial year and another year
| of American independence begins about
the same time, aud it cannot but be no.
ticed that our financial as we'll as politi-
cal condition is very fair. The revenue
from imports to the LIST of July vas
forty-six millions, which, considering
that it was a gear of commercial reyuls
sion and depression, is a very satisfacto-
ry amount. The exports, after all, have
not much fallen off. and the country is
not only much richer, but a great deal
wiser, for the temporary check which it
has met. In domestic politics We have
unexampled quiet, and our relations
with foreign countries are in q good
condition.
We have no b~urdeDsome national debt
and no immense standing army nor
navy to be supported by conscriptive and
oppressive taxation, aud 1T is fair to
presume considering the manifestation
of sentiment by Congress on this subject
at the late session, that we shall not
very soon nave any such cause of com
plant. Under these circumstances We
can endure the sneers of the foreign
press, which are only unm:zzled by
their masters when they are ordered to
rail at our institutions and our remark
able backwardness in raising armies to
cut the throats of our own people. The
French press is quite provoked at our
disposition to make satisfactory arrange
ments instead of seeking doubtful and
costly l~aurels. This weakness will, it
is hoped, long characterize our domestic
and foreign policy.
It is said that a new minister is to be
sent to Mexico, but it may we'll be
doubted whether this government is bet,
ter prepared now than last fall to take
a decided course in regard to Mexico.
The President did not even allude TO
Mexico in his message at, the opening
of the session. He had promptly re-
jected the Forsyth Commanders treaty
project, and no opportunity for the
negotiation of a more favorable treaty
has since occurred. Instructions in re-
gard to the questions which Mr.. Forsyth
has submitted to the government will
be, of course, s,ut out at once. The
success of the Juaraz party is by no
means certain, though the downfall OF
Zuluoga is not doubtful Whether
and when any stable government of a
character disposed to do justice to the
United States will be established is
quite uncertain.

At a.D Dr.. TrevItt off tho Horn.
We see by an article in the Ohio
Medical and Surgical Journal, that on
the 9th of December last, DIR. TREvrTT
and family, late of this city, now on the
yoyage to Valparaiso, were off Staten
and New Years Islands, about to en-
1eavor to double the Horn. They were
then seventy-two days out. They ap-
peared to be having remarkably fine
weather off the stormy Cape, judging
from tae description in the Medical
Journal. Indeed favorable weather
might reasonably be anticipated at that
season, Midsummer, in that hemisphere.
Or, the 28th of December the mountains
composing the bold headland off Cape
Horn were in full sight and all drawing
sails were set. The wind wasWest, and
as a matter of course the ship was close
hawled upon a wind, and, we infer, with
tho latboard tacks aboard, for on the
pext day the wind freshened and to keep
off the land they put the ship about,
and stood to the Southwark. Copse
quently the ship-was her put upon the
starboard tack. As is almost invariable
off the Horn, the weather was squaily,
with suow, rain and hail. AS the New
England Mate once wrote down in the
log, whereabouts, it often trains, halls
and SHOWS; thunders, and blows, like
blazes ~ all at the same time. The
Doctor talks of a violent gale, but we
infer from what he says was done to
navigate the ship, that he has not yet
seen it "blow great guns On the
n~inety.frst day out they came to. anchor
in the harbof Of Valparaiso, " having"
as DR.. TREyIrr remarks, had as short
a voyage and as pleasant a passage as
often falls tothe lot of man" We trust
DIR. TREyIrr and his family will have a
pleasant and a profitable s%ojourn in

Eve received, several days since,
a private letter from DR.. TREvITT, dated
3Oth March, and his numerous political
and personal friends in Ohio will be glad
to learn of the safe arrival of himself

being domiciled 10 their new, but, as
their friends hope, temporary home
