MORE TROUBLE WITH THE MoRMoNs.-
The advices from Utah represent that
Territory in a very threatening aspect.
The United States Courts have been
unable to administer justice. The Grand
Jury refused to find bills, and used other
means to screen the murderers Of Pot
ter and Forbes. judge radlebaugh had
discharged the grand jury, and also the
traverse jury, and one thousand United
States troops had been marched from
Camp Floyd and encamped near Provo,
where the court was in session.
A collision between the troops and
the Mormons is considered imminent.

EuRopE.-By the arrival Of the Wash
on, we have news from Europe to the
18th April The political aspect of af-
fairs On the Continent has assumed a
less threatening appearance than. was
manifested at the departure of the last
steamer.
During tile earlier part of the week
the rnmors of impending war were Of a
very alarming character, but late advi-
ces indicate a return to more pacific
measures. There is now some indica-
tons that a peace congress will soon be
convened. Austria has proposed to the
belligerent powers that they shall SIM
u%ltaneously discontinue their ornaments
before the assembling of the congress.

The Senators, ON Wednesday, did but little
except to attend to the joint convention to
elect the Sinking Fund Commissioners, and
to hear the petition of the woman's rights
convention. The House did but little else but
attend to the same business. The following
resolution was adopted III 70 & ,gFssB eiet
That the Committee on the Judiciary be
instructed to inquire into the constitutions
ality of chapter SO, of the Acts of the
General Assembly for tbs year 1857, and
that they report the result of such examina-
ton and inquiry to this House without de-
lay. ati .e 80 he'd rsts9 So sa'
Mr.. Gordon said the resolution contem-
plates inquiry into the constitutionality of
the Swamp Land bill of 1857. A great
deal of land had been disposed of under that
act, and if it be not constitutional, it is
proper we should know it, because further
action on the part of the Legislature may
be necessary, either to arrest the sales, or
to place the purchasers in a;proper situation,
where they have purchased in good faith
Some of these purchases have been made on
contract for ditching, and no ditehing done.
| am satisfied that unwarrantable specula-
tions have been made on sales of such
fraudulent purchases. 1 have, papers in my
hands that satisfy me of this fact. 1t is i'm
portant, then, that we should know whether
this act is constitutional My own impress
sion is that it is not. .sa

ARKANSAS REruRNINe TO SENSE OF
DurY.-A movement has recently been
made in the Legislature of Arkansas to re-
cognize and pay the old State debt. A'reso-
luton has been introduced. declaring the
justness of the State debt, acknowledging
the obligation of the State to pay it, and di-
reeting the Committee of Ways and Means
to report bill to provide for the payment
of principal and interest. Arkansas has a
full treasury, and a reyenne beyond her ex-
penditures is rich in resources, and is ad-
vancing in population and wealth as rapidly
as any Southwestern State. 1t is a reproach
to the State with ample ability to pay, to
suffer the just claims of her creditors to re-
main longer unpaid. We are persuaded
that Arkansas and Mississippi viii be in
duced eventually to pay every dollar legally
or justly due from them, by feelings of State
pride, which is SO appointment characteristic
among their citizens.

We noticed in the Journal, a few days
since, the fact that the suit of Gov Wright
against the new State Bank had been de-
cided on all points in the Supreme Court in
favor of the Bank, thus disposing of the last
of the suits which have been instituted
against it. We remarked in connexion
that nothing remained to be disposed of af-
fecting the Bank except the Investigation of
the frauds in the passage of the charter, and
which was to be. acted on by the Legisla-
ture. We since learn that the judgment in
the Supreme Court covers the points in
volged in the Legislative enquiry, and
virtually quashes that proceeding.
It appears that a bill has been introduced
into the Senateby the opponents ofthe Bank,
having in view repeal of the Charter Of
the Bank. Since the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case, it is not considered that
the Legislature has the power of repeal, but
whether it has or not, it is not probable a
measure of this kind win ever be pass
ed We must have banks, and in the
new State Bank we have an institution
which affords reliable currency; and un-
der good management such as it now has,
must continue to be an important aid to the
business interests. of the State. Hence we
can see no good to be attained by keeping
up an agitation in regard to it. All the
capital which politicians can make from this
war upon it will poorly compensate for the
alarm which il, may, from time totiEle, ex-
cite in the minds of the ignorant and timid
who are easily frightened when banks are
the subject. .s~7. asa5 =, 5A5

The Paving of Main street.

The Paving of Main street.
The condition of our streets for the last
two onthsadmonisheso our citizensthat some
thing must be done to give our principal
thoroughfares new surface, before the ap
proach of another winter, or the increasing
hauling over them will so break them up as
to make them impossible in the next season
of Maud. Most of our citizens are persuaded
that nothing will sustain the heavy travel
through Main street but substantial stone
pavement. If it must be done-and that
seems to be the public judgment-there
will never be more favorable opportunity
for having the work well and cheaply done
than at present. Messrs. Gaslin and Pills
bury, who are building the massive stone
piers for the Franklin street bridge, over
Pigeon creek, have succeeded to Mr.. Hugo's
contract, and have purchased his steam tow
boat and rock barges. They have now
unusual facilities, all ready prepared for
bringing rock to the city, and will be enabled,
in connection with their job, to undertake
paving contract at much less price than
they could afford to do it if they had not all
the means for doing the work-obtained for
another purpose-already on hand. As
like favorable circumstances may not occur
again in many years, it is important we
should avail ourselves of them.
Messrs. Gaslin and Pillsbury have had a
survey for Main street. and profile section
of the proposed pavement made, with speci-
fcations of the work, which they propose to
submit to the Council and property holders
on the street, with proposals for doing the
work during the next summer. Early
action is required on the subject in order to
enable the contractors to get the rock while
the river is high in the Spring, by which a
large amount in hauling and transportation
can be saved.
They propose to remove the mud and ac-
cumulations down to a hard .rface, to
take up the present gutter pavements, give
the street proper arched form, cover it in
the first place with six inches of coarse
gravel, and on that lay a limestone pave
ment to be not less than IA inches in depth
in the middle and diminishing to 8 inches
at the cutters. The stone to be not less
than "a nor more than inches in thickness
and to be long enough to break joints at
least four inches; the whole to be well laid
and covered with a coat of gravel, for cost
of 500 to each lot of 1s3 feet fronting on
the street, from Water street to the canal
They will send to the lime stone quarries on
the river in Perry county for the rock, and
will contract to complete the work before
the active business commences in the au-
tumn.-
The Improvement would add double its
cost to the value of property on the street
and its proprietors would make good in
vestment by closing with the proposition
and taking the necessary steps to secure the
contract The work would be done, We
presume, under the inspection of Mr.. Saun
ders, the City Surveyor, whose experience
and vigilance would secure good job.

WoMAN's RIGHTs CONVENTION We'd
nesday, the Senate and House held a joint
session for the purpose of receiving petit
tieas from the ladies'. "A vast crowd attend
ed. When the object of the convention was
stated by the President, three ladies pressed
forward to the stand, and one of them read
/ a petition signed by about thousand per-
sons, mostsof whom, the Sentinel says, were
residents Of Wayne county, praying for cer-
tain rights of property, and such change
in the Constitution of the State as would
give the right of suffrage to women. The
reader of the petition then delivered very
small specimen of speech in a very low
tone. Then another lady tried her tongue
for time The Convention then adjourned.
The description of the scene which followed,
the reporters abandoned IN despair. . What
might be stated "a free interchange of SEN
timent followed The Sentinel calls it a
"class meeting" The members of the
House and the ladies had general debate
ON 'jolliication, old clothes, whisky
The Sentinel says: sessss-7 - -1--5- ID sss'
L We have no idea that one out of every ten
of the ladies present had any sympathy with
the movement; and we are quite sure that
they heartily wished themselves cut of the
scrape after the frstexchange of opinion and
sentiment began. ~ s.s1
We think the idea of this joint convention
was a very foolish aone--that it was agreed
to without sufficient reflection on the part of
the members, through a desire to concede as
muchlas possible to the right of petition, and
particularly yte the gentler sex and we are
sure it has not advanced the cause it was
