In regard to his statement that troops are station
ed "around the Courthouse at Provo" Ihauc onLv
to say that the assertion is not true They are station
ed near the Courthouse, and entirely on one side
of it.
The additional troops referred to as being 'fsta-
toned within sight of the Courthouse" are at least
Jour miles distant. This assertion must have been
ueslgned 10 create false impression to the rela-
tive situation of the Courthouse and the troops
In regard to the inhabitants being being terrif-
ed oy the presence of troops it is proper to saw that
many OF them are very much annoyed by their he
ing here at this time, but those who seem to he
stricken with terror have fed the country on ac-
count OF crimes committed by them, and the fear of
JUST punishment for their offences. Among them
are to be found several of the jurors Presidents of
stakes Bishops, and also civil officers of the Tor
ritory.
1t is perhaps, proper to say that the Grand jury
was selected by the County Court, under recent
act of the Legislature of this Territory which was
signed and approved by Governor CUMMING. and

fact that at all times, when the Court is in session
the Court room is crowded by hundreds of citizens
The assertion that witnesses and Jurors are, or
have been, intimidated by the small military de-
tachments near the Courthouse, is without foun
datlon While the real fact is that witnesses have

To such an extent has this been carried that wit

DEPARTED WoRrH.-The following notice appesr-
ed in the obituary column of the New York TriJ,ns
of yesterday
Yesterday an Irish gentleman died. But A few
days ago he was walking down Broadway (perhaps
the observed of all observers) in the bloom and
lreshness oil youth; most remarkably good-looking,
mot staggering fashionably attired fellow. The
prde oI his family, the soul of the young and harm
less society he moved in-the confidential clerk of
the merchant prince in whose employment he was;
and lastly, though not least the admiration of the
unexampled and virtuous beauties who ornament
and promenade Broadway. To-day he is a cold an
iuanimate corpse but his soul, it is believed and
hoped is in the full enjoyment of the glorious pres
ence of the great man who died on Friday, and who
on the subsequent Sunday, bad risen from the dead
to sit upon the throne of thrones in the heavens If
the highest heavens for the salvation of unfortu-
nate sinners. He was as mild he was bold; he
was as generous as he was brave; as crcumspect a.
he was social, and as discerning as he was unsus-

LABoRERs' RToT AT ST. LoUIs.-St. Louis, April
28:-A strike among the laborers in some of the
brickyards of this city, which has been in progress
for several days, assumed riotous character yes-
terday. a considerable amount of property being
destroyed by the rioters, the police called out
and alter slight skrmish, resulting in the wound-
ing OF several of the laborers and two policemen.
the rioters dispersed.
This morning the men again assembled in larps
force, and assumed such threatening attitude that
the Mayor ordered out the military to nreserTa tb
peace.
Anderson,s saw mill was burned yesterday, caus-
ing a loss of $2OO00
Later.-The movement among the strikers this
morning was much exaggerated. There was no
hostile demonstration, and the military were with
drawn.
The excitement is still strong, and another meet
ing has been appointed for tomorrow.
The WEATHER AT THE WEsr.-The Cincinnati
Price Current saws:
The weather continues exceedingly changeabIe,
ana as uniavorable for agricultural business as can
be well imagined. An immense quantity of rain
has fallen during the week, and the ground must
be thoroughly saturated with water, thus prevent
ing spring work, on all lands, except at brief in
tervals. The temperature has been milder. and
vegetation has been going on pretty we'll
There is good deal said regarding this unususI
19uantity OF ram, and its effects upon the crops
lhere Is abundant time yet to prepare for corn and
plant 1t, and should May be fine there need be no
fears on that point, but the wheat may be injured.
but this is not certain, or hardly probable On the
whole, we think no important injury has been sus
tained, except as regards the fruit CROP bv the
growing crops generally.
WV. H. SEwARD,-A correspondent fthe Albany
Atlas and Argus writing from Auburn the resi-
dence of Gov. Seward, says:
The Oneida Conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church has been in session here for some davs
past. Last Thursday evening, Senator Seward
invited all the Ministers, numbering about $50, to
aparty at his house. 1t is said that he was very
afectionate to them The notorious B. l. Ives
made an address to the Senator, hattering him
with the title of champion of the Higher Law"
Inc reply was characteristic of the man, and
bore closely upon his Presidential aspirations
1860. "
On Saturday Senator Seward attended the sitting
of the Conference. His devout appearance in,
duced of the pious Ministers to ask him to what
church he belonged. "Well," said Seward after
moments thought, 81 will tell you Ecclesiasti-
cally am an Episcopalian; but politically, l am
Methodist"
The answer is supposed to have been entirely
satisfactory.
The VERDICT AT Observation-Disclosures is sur
prised at the verdict of the jury at Washington
which declares that the man who deliberately and
barbarousy shot down his wife's paramour in the
street, at midday, is not guilty of any crime The
acquitted manslayer was greeted with huzzas and
triumphal procession extemporized BY the
multitude. 1t is intimated that an ovation awaits
his return to New York. But in face of this YER
dict and these demonstrations it remains true that
the hero of this tragedy has only succeeded in pub
lshlng to the world the infamy of his wife, in STAIN
ing his hands with the ineffaceable blood of fellow
IN proving himself capable of cowardly revenge,
and consigning himself to political oblivion when
his brief term of office, if he can brave that out
shall have expired.-N Y Ind, April 2s.
WHATS IN A NAME?-In Virginia at the present
moment the mostprominent political men are Bolts
and Goggins, and we have before us a newspaper
announcing in glowing capitals the arrival at Elk
horn of Judge Noggles. We also learn that the
President has appointed to the Consulate of Ant
werp gentleman rejoicing in the name of QuiggIe.

campaign in this State in which the magic amelia
tion of Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs was gloriouslv

MASSACRE OF FoRD's RASGERs.-The Austin (Tex
as State Gazette of the 10th inst contradicts the
report that Capt. Ford's company of rangers had
been killed by the Camanches. 1t saws:
Sergeant +. A. Kirk, express rider from Capt.
Fords camp, in Camanche county, reached this
city on Thursday last, having left camp on the 18th
inst. The accounts of the company having been
slaughtered by the Indians is all false. The Can.
