Adyices,have been received from the army at
Great Salt Lake City, as late asiJuly Sd. Gov-l
ernor Cumming has petitioned for the removal
of Judge Eckels and others ofhis civil associates
The allegations against the former are, of course
founded on the charge which, he delivered at
Fort Bridger last April, requiring the Grand
Jury of the United States District Courtfor the
northern judicial district of territory TO indict
polygamy, adultery, &c.. among the Mormons.
The correspondent of the New York Tribune
says: ~ aao9sa "a >
"a great deal of excitement was produced on,
the evening of the arrival of.the army, by the
discovery of the fact that Gov. Cumming had
mailed to Washington, that very morning, a
petition for the removal from Office of certain of
his civil associates. Who were the Signers of
the petition, and what was its wording, is not
| yet positively known. GOV. Cumming and DR..
Forney, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs,
both saw it. According to my information,
which believe to be accurate the officers whose
removal is solicited are: Hon. ID. r. Eckels,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; John. NJ.
Hockaday, District ATTORNEY; DIR. Garland Hart
and Mr.. G. L. Craig, Indian Agents; and Mr.. Fl.
F. Morrell, Postmaster of Salt Lake City. The
appointment of Mr.. Seth N Blair to be Chief
Justice in the place of judge Dockels is recon-.
mended Mr.. Blair is a Mormon Major in the
