The Cabinet and the Utah Troubles.
The Washington correspondent Of The
New York Times says: -

The Cabinet and the Utah Troubles.
The Washington correspondent Of che
New York Times says: n
Secretary Floyd has received voluminous
dispatches from COL Johnston, commanding
in Utah, who gives q very gloomy account oil
the conflict between himself and Gov. Cum
ming, and between the Governor and the
Judiciary. The Governor, after Col. john
ston obeyed the requisition of the Judges for
force to protect the United States Court,
threatened to call out the Mormon military
to drive off our troops. Then Col. Johnston
sent up several additional companies OF in
fantry, one of artillery, and one Of cavalry
TO sustain the guard, if necessary. t
The dispatches were Immediately commu
nicated to the President, who seems greatly
embarrassed at the turn of affairs.
I Secretary Floyd approves the action o
Col. Johnston. 10Th. s.
The dispatches exhibit Gov. Cumming il
no enviable light. Parties in New York
who are well advised, declare that the ac
tons of Gov. Cumming are but part anC
parcel Of preconcerted plan-that Colone
Kane's late mission to Utah was undertaken
under the express injunction of Mr.. Buchan
an, to hush up matters with Brigham
Young, and that Cumming is acting in &C
cordance with hints conveyed to him from
Official quarters, TO take his cue from Brig
ham; hence his play into the hands Of thu
| Mormons.
Another dispatch says:
The State Department has received dis
| matches from Utah conflrmatory of the new
received by telegraph from st. Louis, tina
there is a conflict between the Federal anC
Judicial officers. The Administration viii
sustain Gov. Cumming throughout in hi
endeavors 20 preserve order. Judge Cradle
baugh's conduct is disapproved Of, and h
will be recalled.

eH% numerous body of Methodists in
Fannin county, Texas, where the schism &C.
Cured in the church upon the subject of
slavery, persisted in adhering to the Metho-
dist Church North, instead of going, like all
,leir bretheren, in the slave States, with the
Church South. This independent course
has been construed by their fellow-citi-
zens as proof of their. abolition proclivities,
and crusade has been commenced against
them which threatens to drive them from
their homes. Public meetings of their
neighbors have been held, and the members
of the prescribed communion have been
warned To leave the State in a body to avoid
being forcibly ejected. Upon mere sus.
picion, without word OF an act showing
any direct sanction Of them, they are made
to father all the abolition views prom lsatec
by the section of the church to which they
adhere.

Oregon Politics.

There is a serious schism in the Democrat
ic party in Oregon, and the papers indicate
that there is much dissatisfaction in the new
State, in regard to admission at this time,
especially without q payment of the war
debt and other provisions desired. There
were few il any demonstrations of joy at
this event. The Oregenian charges that
Lane, Smith and Grover were more anxious
to secure their S 0, 900 per year each SALARY
and mileage) than to consult the wishes OF
their constituents. As to the question OF
population, the same paper says:
"The reader will see, also, that Gen.
Lane asserted Internationally, that he had
no doubt the white population Of Oregon
was $4,000" The census taken made il
about $4,000. The votes by the ratio usu-
ally rdopted, even less than that General
Lane, who has not been in Oregon to exceed
nine months during the last nine years, ap-
pears to know more about it, or the number
of its inhabitants than those sworn officers
who have travelled over il to enumerate the
people. The Oregon Statesman denies the
truth of the assertions of Gen. Lane and De.
lazon Smith in relation to our population
The record establishes their statements false
Every man of sense or observation knows
them to be false. Yet we are smaggled into
the Union upon the exaggerated statements
Of Grover, Smith and Lane, not only in re
lation to the number of our population, bu
the present desire of the PEOPLE"

APPROXIMATIONS or JAMAIcA.--lt is evil
dent, from all accounts, that the few whites
that yet remain in Jamaica will soon lie
obliged TO abandon their homes and yield
the entire control of that beautiful island 10
the blacks, who appear bent on expelling the
whites and reducing it to second Hayti,
and to barbarism more degraded than that
which covered it when first visited By Eu-

glish authorities can enforce the laws fol-

ances that do not amount TO crimes recog.

that a longer residence on the island has
become almost intolerable TO the whites.

the report of the resident physician Of the
New York City Lunatic Asylum. II is
stated that there is one lunatic to every four

the present population Of that city at sOO,-
600, the number OF insane would be over
1000. The report suggests the building OF

nsA. Dumas, the celebrated French author,
has adopted new mode of publishing his
work of travels in Russia. He is to bring
his chapters out in the form of Daily pa.
per, containing no other matter. The frs,
number Of this journal was to appear on the
l6th Of April, under the title of LIE Caucase
Journal du Voyage d Alexandra Dumas, and
the whole is announced to be completed in
thirty numbers each containing eight large
double columned quarto pages. Subscrip-
ton for the whole is FIVE francs or less than
dollar This will enable readers to get the
work for about one fifth of what it would
cost in book form, in France, while it will
probably pay the author larger profit

BD We publish, at his request, second
cardfrom Mr.. Kurtz, to correct the errors and
supply the omissions of his first. 1t is an
old and shallow dodge to avoid an accusa-
ton by seeking personal controversies and
asssiling the motives of opponents who are
not satisfied with bare assertions. We shall
have no personal disputes with Mr.. Kurtz,
for we have neither motive nor occasion for
such. We simply desire him fully to vim
dictate his character He should be more
anxious to remove all grounds of belief,
than to know who believes the accusations
of his assailants. If he repudiates DR.. Graf,
be will reject probably, all who do not be-
lieve fully in his immaculate integrity. If
DR.. Graft be a friend of Jesse D. Brights he
ought to be, as consequence. very lenient
in his judgment of official delinquencies !;
for that is a peculiar weakness in that
school Of politicians. But DR.. c., though a
shrewd and adroit politician, is a man of
candor and truths more tolerant of the
views and conduct of an opponent-less
swayedby prejudice and party rancor-than
any other party leader in the State. We
have repudiated DIR. Graf, politically, but
we would as soon submit personal contro-
versy of our own to his arbitration as any
man within the circle of our acquaintance
If DR.. G. be one of Mr.. X accusers, he has
reasons enough-without asking more re-
sponsible men-to strive to make a full and
convincing vindication. The friends of Mr..
n. do not ask him to prove that he did not
make his fortune out of an annual salary
as Auditor, of $500 or $500, for that is q
negative proposition. But as a man Of
business for twenty years, and as an accu-
rate and honest Auditor for ten years, be
learned to keep books, and also the impor
lance OF keeping them accurate and com.
plete, as II history of all his affairs. These
will show the sources of his property to 9
dollar. Submit these books to an intelli
gent committee Of friends, and show by
them, beyond all cavi. how he made hi
wealth this will be taking the affirmative
side of the proposition, and one that is ca
pable OF demonstration to the entire salts
faction of every candid mind. Do this anC
ne may no longer trouble himself about BIZ
acsusers or those who believe in their secu
sations. We are sorry to be compelled t.
occupy So much space with a matter so en-
tirely personal in its interests.
