On monday evening last at the NJ. f.
Church, an attentive audience listened
to the Lecture Of the Rev. G.. G. Ed
wards. Subject, Onward and Upward.
In his opening he pictured 50 wildly
the stream oflife by illustration that we
fancicd oursclf npon an actual stream
in nice little bark, seated erect, snug
" ensconced in our cloak, with charm
cd feeling best described by the com
mon place expression, "Don't care a
darned." This part Of his subject was
far the best oratory it has ever been our
pleasure to listen to in the county;this was
followed by change Of style, charac
tcrized BY minutencss, ia histori cal re-
lation Of the past, and wise prospcc- :
tive future, which was both interesting
and instructive although not SO pleasing
as the opening.
We observed that the Lecturer was
much hindered and embarrassed Cor the
want Of sufficient light by which to
read. This certainly reflects upon
those who superintendent tho filing
Of the lamps, unless the fault is in the
LAMPS them selves. If so they had bet
ter be disposed Of as dark lanterns, or
kept in the church and labelled as such
60 that no one will be deceived as to the
purposes they are intended to answer.
KINDNEss.-Mr. G. j. Epenctcr, has
informed US that he will instruct and as
s'st, free Of charge, the citizens Of To-
ledo in planting Grape roots, aud other
garden vegetable roots, in manner
that will secure the most rapid growth
Mr.. Epeneter in former years has been
successful gardener, and this kind Of
fer Of his, cannot be too highly arprc
ciatcd by our citizens.
D0rA At public meeting held at the
Court House last Saturday cvcnin:
Mcssrs J. P. Wood, T. Murray and
another gentleman whose name We have
forgotten, were appointed. committee
to secure aud SUI crintcnd the build
ing Of fence around the grave yard.
We learn they intend to let the job
on Saturday next to the lowest rcspoh
sible bidder. This effort Of our citizens
is certainly commendable although,
commenced at this late day.

Daniel ROhrer ESQ.

This gentleman, for five years past the
Treasurer Of st, Paul, whose ability and hon
es have 50 long been the safeguard of the
treasury Of our city, was yesterday, we re-
ggct to say, defeated by c. A. MORGAN, the
Democratic candidate. 10 the money spent
by the successful candidate, and by the De
n.ocratic Central Comw:ttee who made a
little party fight against Mr.. RoHRER as be-
ing strong and dangerous Republican; to
the personal popularity of Mr.. MORGAN; and
the frequent iteration of the argument that
"Mr. RoHRER had the office long enough
do we attribute this result 1t is one which,
we trust. the intelligent people of st. Pau,
may never regret. To change their financial
helmsman in the approaching crisis Of our
city's credit the present year, is hazardous
experiment, which may or may not succeed.
As for Mr.. RoRHER, he will hand over the
business of his Office to his successor, and re-
tire into private life, with a reputation for un-
improbable official integrity and business
capacity which not every man who has held
such trust so long, can claim. His enemies
may exult through the other two presses Of
St. Paul over his defeat-but all good Repub-
leans and many true Democrats will part
with regret from faithful public officer, who
was never found wanting in the performance
Of his whole duty.

The MOccasins and Federal Office. Hold.
ers Routed.

Though we would have preferred for some
reasons to have seen HENRY j. HORN elected
Mayor of St. Paul, we yet chronicle with great
satisfaction the election of COL ID. A. ROBERT
son, because we think he will make a pretty
good Mayor, and because it is the triumph of
a man thoroughly opposed to the Moccasn
and Lecompton Democracy-a man with
whom we have stood side by sideIfor the past
year or two, in opposition to the swindling
$5,0OO,O 900 Loan and Wild Cat Currency
On the very morning of the election day, and
just before the polls opened, he reiterated his
independent declaration of opposition to Moe
casin Democracy, and especially to certain of
its leaders, such as United States Surveyor
General EMERSON, Postmaster CAVE, and ex-
Congressman BECKER. He re-stated his de-
termination to resign if elected, provided it
was proved to him he owed his election to the
votes or influence of these men," The Colo
mel boldly threw down the gauntlet of def
ance to the very last moment. There is no
danger, however, of his resigning, for we think
it would be hard to prove that the men he
names voted for him at all yesterday. Three
cheers for the defeat of the Moccasins and the
Federal Office-holders, and the Irish!

Utah Matters.

Our Mormon relations are getting mixed up
The news by the Utah mail represents the
affairs of that Territory as wearing a very
threatening aspect, and seems clearly to argue
the impossibility of the Federal Courts admin
istering justice. Judge Cradlebaugh, on the
occasion of discharging the Grand and Ira
verse Juries, charged the Mormons with OBJ
structing the officers of the Court, and sup
pressing testimony, and refusing to make pro-
visions for the confinement and maintenance
of the prisoners.
Owing to the excited state of popular feel
ing, about 10000 men moved from Camp
Floyd and encamped near Provo.
Gov. Cumming issueda proclamation taking
ground with the Mormon sentiment. 1t is not
stated whether he demanded the withdrawal
of the troops from Provo, but his action laid
him open to the charge of completely with the
Mormon theocracy.
Much bad feeling exists between the troops
and the Mormons, though the former stationed
at Provo behaved with remarkable forbear-
ance. A collision is imminent.
Dispatches from St. Louis dated the Goth,
say:
A series of letters published in the Salt
Lake Valley Journal, giving the proceedings
of Judge Cradlebaugh's court at Provo, ex-
plains to some extent the difficulties and dis
turbances in Utah.
The misunderstanding between Gov. Cum
ming and Gen. Johnston, seems to have grown
out of the refusal of the latter to withdraw
the troops from Provo, sent there under a
requisition of the court, to protect witnesses.
Judge Cradlebaugh passed severe structures
on Gov. Cummings proclamation, which has
not been received here, characterizing it as
informal, and evidently designated to exas:
perate the people against the troops-to OBJ
struct the course of justice, and to excite in
subordination in the army
He also says that instead of the presence
of the troops tending to terlfy the inhabitants,
and intimidate witnesses, jurors and parties
in behalf of the prosecution had been COM
PEELED to seek the protection of the troops
against the threats and intimidations of the
Inhabitants, said to be so terrified.
Judge Cradlebaugh was sitting merely as a
committing magistrate, and would 90 to Camp
Floyd on the following week to continue the
investigations.
Testimony has been elected duplicating
several Bishops and the civil authorities Of
the Territory, in various murders-all of
whom fled to avoid arrest The four grand
juries discharged by Judge Cradlebaugh, also
fled, and Cedar City, and several other towns
in the vicinity of the Meadow Mountain Mass
acre are almost depopulated.
1t is also stated that the Indians, about
1000 strong, headed by white men, have mus
tered in that neighborhood, and express their
determination to prevent the arrest of any
one in that section.
Judge Cradlebaugh emphatically denies
that the grand jury protested against their
discharge as stated by the Desert News.

THE IRISH ROUTED
HORSE FOOT AND DRAGOOMsy
- The Irish are Good Enough to Vote,
but Not to be Voted For.,s

The result of the election for Aldermen in
the several wards of st. Paul yesterday was
the complete and disgraceful defeat of the
Irish Democracy. They had candidate for
Alderman in every ward of the city, as
regular Democratic nominees. The returns
show that the People have elected their men
in three out of the four wards. BRANCH beats
PAT. NASH by decisive vote in the First;
WILEY overcomes O'GoRNAN in the Third !;
and BERKEY PAT. MURNAN I'M the Fourth
In the Second, through the polling of at least
100 illegal votes, O'CoSNoR is elected by bare
ly 40 majority. This is glorious result. 1t
gives us the control of the City Council for
one and probably for two years. The Amer
lean Democracy have used the Irish to carry
in their city ticket. But "just as we expect
ed" and as they did last spring, the Irish
nominees were kicked and cuffed in all direc-
tons, and ANONYMOUSLY defeated.
"The Irish are good enough to vote, but
not to be voted for!"
