Late and detailed advices from Utah
state that the Commissioners met del
egation of the people in the Council
House, Great Salt Lake City. on the
lit OF June, and on the 18th, official
" announced all difficulties between
the United States Government and tie
people OF Utah, settled They did not
do anything at that conference to bring
about so desirable an object more than
had been accomplished by Col Thorn
~ L Kane, and Gov. Cumming, before
their arrival.
During that conference the delega-
ton moot emphat'cally denied that the
people ever had been hostile to any of
the institutions of the country, or in
any way acted 80 that such charge
could DO founded against them.
Gov. Cumming fully sustains the
high character and ability accorded
him at the time Of his appointment by
the President of the United States, and
Cabinet, and endorsed by the entire
press. Ia the adjustment OF the diff
cultes, he has taken very honorable
straightforward and independent
course ard indeed all the credit is
due him and Col. Thomas l.. Kane, for
the peaceable relations brought about
between the Government Of the United
States aud the people of Utah. The
Governor is not very popular with the
camp followers and few Of the Fede-
raj officers; indeed, he is rs much dis
liked by them as either Col. Johnston
or Or. Forney.
Governor Cumming has advised the
President that DIR. Hurts official letter
TO him last Fall at Bridger (which was
published) was tissue Of misrepresen-
tation and falsehood, ard intended to
prejudice his mind and that of the 9TH
er officials, against the people of the
Territory.
The citizens of Utah have transmit
ted TO the President petition for the
removal of certain government officers,
setting forth the following facts:
CLief Justice Eckles, while vet en-
route to this Territory, expressed him
self in most vindictlve and prejudiced
terms against the people Of the Terri
torv. Contrary to law and the estab
10 ,sd principles of constitutional jus
tice he summoned grand jury Of the
attaches and followers OF the army, and
before them did himself cause testlmo-
ny to be presented, and indictments
found flor most serious otfences) against
numerous citizens Of the United States
residents Of the Territory He has
himself acted as Judge, prosecutor, and
clerk Of his own court, and has ever
during his residence IN the Territory
used not only ais personal but his judi
cial influence to provoke a collision ant
disturbances between the people of thu
Territory and the Federal Government
Though often invited, and assurance,
of safety and protection given, he has
refused to come into our settle ments OF
separate himself from the army up I.
this time.
Mr.. Morrell has, by published state
ments, slsndered the people of the Ter
ritory. He is not, nor ever was resi-
dent Of Great Salt Lake City, and hence
according to the laws of the United
States, is not competent to fill the ap
pointment.
Agent Hurt, within the knowledg,
Of your Excellency, according to off
cial reports recently forwarded by Gov
Cumming, has made aud published
false reports Of the most serious char
acter, charging tue people of this Ter
ritory with burning the public library
and United States Court records, threat
ening federal officers with assassination
rebellion against the constitution AM
lsws OF the United States, tamperin,
with the Indians tribes to the over
throw Of the Government, togethe
with other grave accusations all equal
" false and untounded.
