GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, L. T.,l
Oct. 5, 1858.
The October Term of the U. S. District Court
was opened in this city yesterday by Judge Sin
clair 1t is the first occasion on which United
States Court has been organized in the Territory.
Except at Camp Scott last Winter) since Judge
Stiles was compelled by violence to adjourn his
Court sine die in February, 1857. The Grand and
Petit Juries (Which are composed in about equal
proportion of Mormons and Gsntiles) were i'm
panneled, and then excused from service until the
first Monday in November. This is owing to
desire of the Judge to frame rules for the conduct
of business in the Court, which never has been
done by any of his predecessors and also to the
non arrival from the East of Mr.. Wilson, the new
ly appointed United States Attorney. No charge
was delivered to the Grand Jury, but the following
remarks were made by the Judge to the Bar. In
view of certain previous transactions, they were
very PERTINENT

of the United States, and aso the laws of this Territory
when they IN harmony with the Constitution and
laws Of the Federal Government. From judgments
here pronounced you have the night of appeal 10 the
highest tribunal in our land. AL remedies for the
rors Of this Court be pursued according to the
