New-York daily tribune., 1858-07-07

Mr. Sinclair OF Virginia Both OF them receIved
their appointments last Summer, but up to this date
nothing has been heard Of their whereabouts by
ANYBODY connected with the ciVl government OF the
Territory and up TO the end Of last March can
testify, from my personal knowledge, that as pro-
found ignorance on the subject prevailed at Wash
ineton as exists here. Yet il ia impossible 70 hold
/ term Of the Supreme Territorial Court without
the attendance Of one or the other Of these gentle
men, and more than year has now elapsed since
session Of that tribunal has been bad.
Taking for granted that Brghem Young will &C.
cept temporarily the pardon of the President for
himself and his people other important and inter
estng questions will come directly before the Courts
for settlement relative to the mutual rendition OF
confscated property. The amount OF Mormon
properly which the army holds is quite insignificant,
consisting only OF one or two hundred pounds OF
flour, some guns and pistols, half dozen mules, and
a couple Of horses which were captured on Hams
Fork with Stowel and TAYLOR, and which Stowell
acknowledged 10 belong TO the Church. Lewis
Robinson the Mormon Quarterrnaster- General,
NAV indeed be disposed to raise question as 70 the
ownership of Fort Bridger and the land around 1t,
but that is private matter, to be settled between
himself and Major Bridger, and there is very little
doubt how it would be determined. The Mormons.
on the other hand hold more than thousand
head of oxen, mules and horses, which they have
stolen from the Government, from the settlers and
from Russell Waddel VIII they be disposed
70 return them peaceably, and TO pay the value 0
those which they have killed or lost They hold
also, variety of property both real and personal
belonging TO John NJ. Hockaday, Peter X. Dotson
Edward Bower, Charles MOgo, Gilbert Ger
rish and other Gentles, most OF which has been
converted to the use of the Church Viii they be
disposed to make restitution to its legal owners
Those owners viii certainly be inclined to press
| their claims for restitution in the Courts.
II is such considerations as these that cast doubts
upon the chances Of favorable result from the
| Presidents l.judged clemency in addition to the
| fact that Brigham Young by accepting the pardon
will belle the oaths of the Mormon endowment, and
fasify his entire record. BY it's acceptance he VIII
pledge himself to present opposition to the oca-
ton Of the troops among his people, and yet IN hls
earliest correspondence with Col. Alexander Ne eA-
pressed himself as follows:
"Ifyou persist in your attempts perm msnenty locate army
in Territory contrary to the wishes and Constitutions rsas

have referred to the responsibility of the Nor
mons for the murder of Gentes by the southern
and southwestern tribes of Indians. Some facts
relative TO the subject have already been presented
in your correspondence, and for full and lucid ac-
count of the intrigues of Brigham Young with all
the Indian tribes, refer you TO the annual report
of DR.. Garland Hurt, agent for the Utahs, which
has been rendered to DR.. Forney the Superintend.
ent of Indian Affairs, and, / presume, Transmitted

which have copied from the originals, add to the
light which has already been thrown on the Santa
