WASHINGTON, June Attorney General
Black, under the instruction of the President,
has replied to the joint letter Of the Utah
Judges on the subject Of the military force
with which the Court, for the Second Dis
sriot, was attended during the term recently
held at Provo City. He says it 10 very prob
able that the Mormons have been guilty Of
crimes for which they deserve the severest
and that il 10 not intended by
tho Government to les any one escape against
whom the proper proofs can be produced,
and, with that view, the District Attorney
has been instructed to use al possible dill:
gence il. bringing criminals Of every GLASS and
of oil degrees to justice, but the usual and
established modes Of dealing with public Of
tenders must be exhibited before any others
are adopted.
On the whole, the President is decidedly Of
the opinion--lst, that the Governor Of the
Territory alone has power to issue requisi-
ton upon the Commanding General for tho
whole or part Of the army; and Cd, that
there was no apparent occasion for the pres
ence Of troops at Provo; Sd, that il rescue
OF the prisoners in custody had been attempt
ed, it was the duty Of the Marshal and not
the Judge to summon the force which might
DO necessary TO prevent it; 4th, that the
troops ought not to have been sent to Provo
without the concurrence Of the Governor, or
kept there against his remembrance; 9Th,
that the disregard of these principles and
rules Of action has been in many ways ex-
tremely unfortunate.
