The Sherifalty.

The announcement of William w.
Mccain as a candidate for the Office
of Sheriff. will be highly gratifying to a
large number of our citizens. He has dis
charged the duties of Deputy Sheriff in
this county for several years, in prompt
and satisfactory manner F; and by his de-
pertinent has won for himself host OF
friends who will be grati6ed to have the
opportunity Of expressing their preference
for him at the polls.
He is an active, intelligent young
man was literally educated by the as~
sistance of a kind. indulgent father, and
has since been fully educated in the prac-
teal duties of Sheriff.
The time once was in our venerable
county when Offices were filled and con.
trolled by the fen. when none but favorites
could share the loaves and and fishes"
"a time when kissing went by favors :;
but. thanks to liberal elective franchise,
it is not so now. Merit and qualification
have become the measure Of claim 10 Of
fee, and the young men of the country
are not discarded as wanting or unwor-
thy. The policy Of electing young men
10 our minor Offices when they are quail
fed and trustworthy is correct. In
this country they generally begin life
poor, and too often with limited educa.
tions. When they are allowed to fill
such Offices they become acquainted with
men aud things, and acquire knowledge
Of the world that fits them for after life.
1t frequently enables them to acquire
sufficient amount Of property with which
to commence the auorld. 1t also stimulates
them TO usefulness. and never fails to
make them better citizens than when
they are not allowed to ask or expact
anything. but grow up to manhood with
the certainty before them. that they are
to be kept in the back ground, whilst pol.
iticians and tricksters monopolize every
thing:
II our citizens would confer our county
offices upon our meritorious young men,
its good effect would be manifest upon
society in a few years. We must have
officers and must pay them. Is it not
better to confer them where it will stimu-
late the youth, and develop the talent of
the country ? If not. life time Office hold.
ers will prey upon us and revel in latent
corruption. To keep offices free from i'm
purity they must rotate.
Fathers. it is to your sons you will look
in old age for comfort and consolation, 1t
is to your sons you must transfer the af-
fairs of Government and State when
your day and generation are passing
away. Therefore initiate them in the
great schools Of wisdom aud experience :;
rear them to habits Of usefulness and hon.

SHARP PRACTICE OF New York STooK
BRoKERs.-The New York Post tells the
following, which, it is hoped. has no APP.

"Many persons innocently suppose
that the quotations Of the auction sales

stocks or bonds sold. That they are to

ance' the following transactions of last
week will show: Five different sales Of
shares in certain company, not usually
sold at the board, were reported as made
at auction, at figures much below tho cur
rent value of the stock. The officers Of
the company certify that not a single
share of stock has been transferred, but
explain the matter by the fact that GER.
tain parties were operating to buy up
shares at low rate. By paying the ex.
pense of few sales at auction, bidding
in the stock at a low rate, in the absence
Of purchasers in these tight times. they

by the public. Mr.. Jones is making an
exchange with Mr.. Smith. Jones wishes
to buy Smiths farm or house. He offers
Smith stock 10 the Full Blown and Dead

value of the stock. but will make iuqui.

A. CUMMING, Gov. Utah Territory
The New York Herald has letter
from Leavenworth. giving news from the
army to The 4th of December, at which
time from 80 to goo cattle were dying
daily. We. quote the following from the
letter:
The four ladies with the army are in
good health and fine spiaits. The Gov.
ernor and Secretary were at the Fort and
intended to hold a court there in a few
days for the trial Of such cases as might
be presented to them. The weather was
very fine there was no snow on the
ground the temperature was very warm
and agreeable. The army had no salt a,
all. Capt. Marcy and his company had
gone down into Mexico for salt ADD ami,
mails to move their train with in the
spring.
The army will remain in its present
position, during the winter, without much,
if auy suffering. The want Of salt is the
only thing that will be felt severely.
There was no anticipation ofthe Mormons
attacking the army, or of their retreat
ing in the spring without fighting. The
arny. of course, will not attempt to en-.
ter Salt Lake City. until they are largely
reinforced. About l75 miles beyond
Fort Laramie twenty-five mules loaded
with salt for the troops were met on the
2sth of November, SO that they have
long since been relieved in that particu.
lar.

wi o engaged passage, afterwards took
sailing ship. The Ariel has about 400
tons OF freiglit-2oo tons being from
Havre and 200 tons from Bremen. The
Ariel, it is alleged. was well'found in sy.
cry respect, aud had new suit of sails
throughout. The prevailing opinion at
the Office of the steamship company in
New York is that she broke some portion
OF her machinery. after being week or
ten days out. and put back under sail, in
which case she will not be heard from
until the North Star arrives, which is due
about the 18th OF February. The Moth
Star arrived out about the lib of Janus

rienced very pleasant winter passage.

The brigade of Gen. Zaloaga, which
