GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, u. L.,
Sept IL, l-55. \
On my return TO the City from the south,
found great change in the appearance of its prin
cipal streets Long trains, freighed with supplies
for the army or with goods for the merchants, are
arriving daily, and the streets are white with
wagon covers and noisy with the crack of ox-whips.
In addition to the influx of teamsters, it seems as
if Leayenworth City, Santa Fe, and san Francisco
had each contributed its quota Of backlegs. Drink
ing saloons have been opened on Nam street, and
the cty, but thus far the propreors of the latter
have found few patrons outside their own frater-
nifty. The Mornons, part of them, seem 10 ac-
quiesce in this state of affairs with great compo-
sure, and the principal drinking saloon and gam
blmg-rOom are in the Salt Lake House, n building
under the control of the Church and the immediate
superntendence OF lleber C.. kimball. In front OF
tins house fights are OF daily occurrence. Night
before last two gamblers shot one another in store
close in It's vicinity One of them died within an
hour and the other will follow soon. They came
here from LeayenwOrth. II was in front of this
hotel that Mr.. Thomas g. Williams thrashed Elder
George ID. Grant II few days ago, Grant having pre-
yiously snapped pistol at him. in the store
in which the gamblers dispatched one another.
The origin of the dispute which led To the gamblers
fight was in Kansas. Their names were Peae aud
Rucker. Rucker is dead. You will perceive that
the two unruly Territories about to be con-
nected by more sympathetic bonds than the myth
zeal tie OF Lanes DANTE organization.
The police are utterly Inefficient. They were
very Otiicious when there were only two dozen
GeHtiles in the city SIX weeks ago, and d0gged
their steps BY day. and watched their houses by
night with the utmost assiduiy; but now they
shrink from proper performance of duty. They
cannot say that this negligence proceeds from
fear that they would encounter OppOsi-
ton if they should arrest Gentle for
breach OF the peace, for such is not the case They
viii be- aided by Gentes IN every legal arrest they
may attempt. There IS cause for the negligence
