Villainy ofthe Worst Kind.

During the past six months various efforts hay-
ing been made to throw trains of tho wo,icrn d-
vision of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. the
officers Of the road r,ade application to Mayor
Bishop for assistance in discovering tho Sound
rcls guilty of tho nciarous attempts. The May
or accordingly sent Detective Reaney To Vim
ccnnes and st. Louis TO trace up, II possible the
williams. believing that, with his varied experience
he might prove succe ssful in the search.
Reany repaired to St. Louis and then to Vim
cennes, making his chief observations in Knox
County, and determining upon u course Of action
which he Thought would be most likely to result
in tho capture Of tho Williams. lie attred him
self as-and pretended ~ bc--un Indiana fnrmer
who had lost horse, and at last met u fellow aud
offered him $50 for his assistance IN tho task tell
ing him he had heard he was one of the shrcwd-
est persons In the State BY dintof Huttery and
nd.oit management tho Detective succeeded in
gaining the confidence of the stranger, according
to his own story very great sc"undrel, being
connected, AZ he sad with an organized band of
robbers, counterfeiters, and murderers. who had
long been terror to the West. Regarding Rca-
ny ambitious disciple he insirn, ted him in
their plan Of operations aud gave him key to
system of scuunIrelism which tho officer will
doubtless find Of advantage hereafter.
The stranger also informed tho Detective that

passengers IN the confusion which would neccssa.
rly followthe accident, aud thut the intention to
place log on the load near steep bank. on tho
night of the 3oth-dav before yesterday which,
had the plan been carried out would have caused
the loss Of numerous lives.
Reany was expected to 60 TO Vincennes ~ i get
on board the train. observe the car containing the
passengers likely to have the most yaluables, and
when the train reached the spot where it was to
be thrown of. to jump from the platform AZ best
he could. Other persons in the league were t6 bo
stationed ut tho point where the accident should
occur, and they to assist in plundering the
Iii z, the dying, and the dead.
despatch has been received from Reany, dat
ed at Clay City, stating thar two scbundrcs who
bad made the last attempt had been arrested and
lodged in Jail at Salem. This will probably be
the first stop toward breaking up another gang

~ that though his civil list s seventy millions Of

his debts amount to nearly six hundred millions

millions of francs, Mt eleven per cent, to pay for

of Dolmabatche recently COST him seventy millions
Of francs According to this letter tho Sultan
has no idea of tho value OF money, and as proof
it relates that having once asked what the palace
Of Dolmabatche had cost, he WINS told. "Only
three thousand five hundred piastros," five hun
dred apd oghty-tour francs, and that he grayey
accepted the answer as true. The Sultan, the let
ter adds, has great many Ministers, each Of
whom receives two hundred and fifty thousand
francs year, aud in his army are ono hundred

The Troubles in Utah.

The accounts from Utah represent that
the judiciary and executive departments are
at variance with each other. and the differ
ences have led to rupture, i'll which Gov.
Cumming finds it necessary to protest pub
licly against the action Of Judge Cradle
baugh in calling the military 10 his aid,
while he held session Of the United States
court. Judge Crudlebaugh seems to he
strongly impressed with the idea that it is
necessary to punish the Mormons for their
offences, Notwithstanding the President :
proclamation Of pardon. When he under
took to hold a session Of the court ut Provo,
without consulting the Governor, he ordered
a company of United States troops to accom-
pany him, and keep guard over the prison
ers against whom charges Were to be
brought. The citizens of Provo protested
against the troops being encampcd in their
midst, and Governor Cumming then called
ON General Johnston to remove them, as
their presence was unnecessary, was likely
to disturb the peace, and was in opposition
TO his instructions from the President. In
stead of complying with the Cows com
mands, the commanding officer sent more
troops into Provo, and the Gov. then issued
his proclamation, protesting against the
movement of the military. Judge Cradle
baugh, in open court, commented upon the
proclamation, and condemned it.

The Quarantine Convention in New York

Something definite and decided has been
arrived at by the Quarantine Convention
and it is this, adopted by vote Of ~ ayes
to nays. ON the offer of DR.. Alex. K. Ste
yrns.
Rexolred, That, in the absence of any
evidence establishing the conclusion that yel
low fever has ever been conveyed from one
person TO another, it is the opinion Of this
Convention that the personal quarantine Of
yellow fever cases may be safely abolished
provided that lomites of every kind be rigid
~ restricted
The doctrine of the resolution embraces
this reform, that persons in health arriving
in port on board of ships infected with vel.
low fever may with proprety be permitted
to land, their baggage and exposed cloth
ing only being subject to delay; that per,
sons arriving sick of yellow fever, having
been carefully washed and their clothing
changed. may be taken directly to their
homes or to the city hospitals and that there
is pot the shadow of foundation for alarm
on their account-Nm Int.

Tho Utah MassacTes.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs IL in
recent of letter, dated at Provo City,
March 49, 1859, from Superintendent For
ney, having charge of Indian affairs in Utah.
The superintendent reports that he left Salt
Lake City to visit the southern indians and
bring back seventeen children saved from the
massacre of September, 1851. lie was de-
tanned at Provo City to give testimony before
the United States courts, concerning the muir
ders of last June and October, and the Noun
tain Meadow affair. He says that b" has
reliable information in regard to the hntche,
nv at Mountain Meadow, by means Of which
he hopes to recover some of the property
The facts warrant the belief that few days
after the massacre there was distributed
among the church dignitaries property worth
$50 600, besides, it is presumed, ac"nSidera-
lla amount Of ready money. The surerln'
tendent will make such investigation as err
cumstances will admit. lie thinks that 1t
has proved exceedingly convenient to lmpll'
cate the Indians in all such cases, and suS-
gests that an investigation may Involve other
parties in the crimes.
