The controversy which lately arose in Utah b.
tween Gov Cumming, on thu one band. and Gen
Johnston -Dd judge SIncair on the ether, has been
decided 10 favor Of the Governor. By the iostrDc
lions lately sent cut, be is to have the exclusive
right Of calling upon the troops Ia assist ia the
service Of civil and olimiuaI process At the same
time the Marshal and the District Attorne, have
h,en instructed not to allow Judge Sinclrir, or
any other Judge. to ibtrude upon tbs duties Of
tttir respective Offices or to usurp the functions
Of public prosecutor 10 the execution If process.

both projects appear to have been abandoned.

country ordering the partie, concerned in then

cordiDg to The T0ley Tan, the Geote org,n the
parties against whom this proclamation is directed

Dornnce Of the existence of any d'ordcrly proceed

proclamation. IL represents the City oi.Salt Lake

the rowdns cuttIrg down their supply Of liquor 81
that the occasion for the services of policemen and
magistrates is gerry much diminished. Most "f the
citizens are said to be busily engagedin planting
and gardening. On the other hand, it is alleged
by correspondents from Utah tn At in the northern
parts of the Territory the men have almost entirely
disappeared from the towns, and that many farms
deserted.
The existing agitation grows out of the investi-
CATION into the Mountain Meadow massacre, which
took place some two years since, previous to the
march OF the troops into Utah. On that occasion
II party of hundred engrauts and more from
Aikunsas to California were murdered, the only
survivors being few young children, nine OF
whom, after remaining, since the massacre. among
the lUdi0ns. have lately been rescued by DR.. For
uey, the Indian Agent This wa-sacre WAS charged
at the time TO have been Perpetrated by the Nor
mons or by Indians, instigated and led on by them.
The NoImons, on the other habd, insisted that the
murderrrs had been the PI-ute Indians, whom the
emgrants had provoked In various ways, to
such sn extent that they were suspected
by the Indians OF an attempt to poison
them. Certain witnesses were produced before
The Grand Jury at Provo, whose testimony Judge
Sinclair regarded as conclusive in impic ,ting
many Leading Mormons ia tins massacre. On the
other hand, it was alleged that these witnesses
were apostates, who did not scluPle at any test-
mOny. however false, and that at best their state
ments we're quite too vague To justify proceedings
against an, body. The affair stll remains involved
IN great obscurity. DR.. Forsey, the IGdisn Agent
writes to the editor of The Paiiey Tan, the anti.
Mormon paper, that after investigating the affair
he lie of opinion that the Ildians hnd white assist
sn's i'll perpetratng tue massacre; but be does not
appear to have ob,ined any information who those
whites were
la The midst or al these connections, We hear
little or nothug of Brigham Young. He seems
quite to have Withdrawn himself fcom the public

making the recessary provision for his numer.

Mcabe hlle, emigration to the promised land still
goes IN. Several parties Of Mormons are on their
way acr"ss the plains, amoug ttem one from the
Cape OF Good Hope which landed al Boston. These
