THE DEsEREr News ON THE MURDERS AT SALT
LAKE CITY.-The Ne10s just at hand has an editori-
al on the subject of the late murders in Utah. from
which we make the following extract:
The Recent Murder.-It is with feelings of disgust
another murder has been committed in this city
where, till system of fashionable morals was in
troduced in the summer of 1858 for the ameioration
of the community, and the establishment of an or
der of things consonant to Republican institutions
as understood and practsed generally throughout
the United States, peace and quietness prevailed
and men were secure in their persons from assault
and assassination, both by dav and night but
since the beauties of civilization and refinement, so
congenial to many, have been displayed here, blood
has freely been shed in that part of the city measu
rably given up to such wish to practice iniquity
or to take lessons in degradation and crime; and
the tenure of life there is becoming matter of I'M
uncertainty, so much so that men who have no par
ticular business to transact in that vicinity are not
often seen there, especially in the evening.
This is deplorabe state of affairs, and the soon
er the end thereof comes the better it will be
for those who seem to be in the height of their
glory, rejoicing that they not restrained of their
liberties, and can do and say what they please,
though it may tend directly indirectly to death,
not only to themselves, but to those with whom
they associate or by whom they may be sur
rounded.
In another article upon the same subject the
Netus says:
Ii those who assume to exercise exclusive uris-
diction in such matters would do their duty faith
fully, such occurrences would soon cease to dis
grace this once peaceful and happy territory.

SHERIFF cREAMER's REPLY.
BALTIMORE. Sept, 30, 1859.


To William Wooduard, ESQ.,,
Chairman of the Central Reform Committee
SIR:-I have received a communication, under
date of the 2Sth inst, from you Chairman of the
Central Reform Committee, conveying to me the
views of that body as to the powers of my Office
and suggesting an interference upon my part as
Sheriff of this city, with the conduct of the two
important elections, at hand, and refer
ring to the resolutions of a Town Meeting re-
Gently held, and to a correspondence growing out
of the same between the Committee YOU represent
and the Mayor of the city.
Upon full consideration of the whole case, both
as presented by your communication and by my
own acquaintance with existing facts l must de-
cline to assume exactly the position in regard to
the approaching election indicated by you. Ny best
judgment induces me to fear that any resort upon
my part in advance of actual outbreak, to measures
wholly novel in the experience of this community,
would tend rather to evaporation and excitement,
than to that quiet which in common with yourself,
earnestly desire.
believe it to be emineutly proper in me as a
public officer, to be very careful to do nothing cal
culated to excite distrust of the constituted au-
thorites OF the city, to discredt either the hon
est purpose power of the Mayor to maintain
tranquility Having been informed of the char
acter of the arrangements he is preparing for the
day of election, which, when completed will be
made known to the public, | am satisfied that
they will be sufficient to accomplish the results
nestly and fully in all measurey which circum-
stances may make for the preservation of
the peace of the city and the proper conduct of the
election.
remain sir, respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
THOMAS CREAMER.
Sheriff of Baltimore City.
