Col. BENTON ON THE LITTLE GIANT
Col. Benton, in converSing with friend
many months since, gave the following
summary view Of the prospects of Mr..
Douglas:
"The little giant" said he, is in too
great hurry to be a great man. He for
gets that giants don't wear seVen-league
boots nowadays, and that the first Office
in an elective government cannot be taken
by storm. His ambition is much beyond
his ability, for although fluent speaker,
his ideas don't bear the proper proportion
to his words, and though he runs fast he
carries little weight. He thinks be can
bestride this continent with one foot on the
shores of the Atlantic, the other on the
Pacific. But, he can't do it-he can't do
it, sir. His legs are too short"
Messrs Douglas and Lincoln had a grand
tilt at Ottawa, ILL.,, last week Mr.. Doug
las speech contained this amusing pas
sage:-
"I knew Mr.. Lincoln in early life; he
commenced his life as a grocer. ."-DOEgLas
1.-THE only difference between Judge
Douglas and myself on the grocery question
is, that while have stood on one side ol
the counter, he has been equally attentive
on the other. ."-LiRoolH.
Even Fred Douglass is ashamed Of the
course of his namesake, Stephen A. Fred
says he thought be was about to make the
name respectable, but now he despairs ol
him, and that he must do the best he can
for it himself. Frederick has very correct
ideas about some things.

Return Of the Utah Commissioners.

The Utah Peace Commissioners, Messrs
Powell and McCulloch, arrived at Wash.
ington August l4th, from Utah. Their
representations Of the present agreement
between the MormSns and the Government
do not vary in any material points from
what has already been published. The
most important consideration is the fact
that peace at all events has been secured,
and the supremacy of the laws and the
authority Of the Government recognized.
Still the Commissioners do not hesitate to
say that much remains to be done before
the Mormons will be brought to that obe-
dience which is necessary for the continu-
ance Of amicable relations. The Commits
sioners also verify the accounts published
OF the conduct Of the redoutable Brigham
Young toward his deluded followers. So
unjust and tyrannical has this become that
It is deemed necessary to repeat the instruc-
tions heretofore given to the officers of the
Government in Utah, to afford them all
the protection in their power.
In regard to the population of the Nor
mons, Major McCulloch estimates it at
about fifty Thousand. They could bring
into the field about seven thousand fight
ing men, Of whom some seven hundred are
excellent troops and efficient mountaineers
The Major stated, in the course of CONVEX
sation, that he advised Brigham Young, if
he desired to found a great State and hier-
archy, to pull up his stakes and move to
some other country. The prophet after
ward declared that he allowed no man to
advise him-to stand between him and God,
from whom alone he took his counsels.
1t is Major McCulloch's decided opinion
that the United States should maintain
there a very strong military government,
for the Mormons have no love for our insti-
tutions, and can only be kept in subsection
BY coerclVe measures. To effect that it
would be necessary to repeal the law or
gauizing the Territory, and vest oil author
ity in a Governor and Council, appointed
by the President and Senate.
A force Of $500 is to be kept in Utah.
Brigham Young has at last concluded to
forgo his pretensons relative to his Super
intendency Of Indian Affairs for Utah. He
has sent a communication to the Indian
Bureau, In which be expresses his willing
ness to give way to DR.. Forney. He, how
ever, asks for an allowance Of 1900, to
reimburse him for food and presents to the
Indians, which he alleges were dsbursed
in order to conciliate and keep them in
check during the advance of the troops.
1t is considered probable, however, that
he conciliated the Indians for his own pur-
poses, and now wants the Government to
pay the expenses.
