TIE UTAH TROUBLES The Washington
Constitution publishes the letter of instruc.
tons from the Attorney General to the Asso.
ciate justices Of the Supreme Court of Utah,
in relation TO the r. cent conflict of authority
between those officers and the Governor of the
Territory. Mr.. Black sums up as follows:
On the whole, the Prcsden. is very decid-
edly of opinion
l. That the Governor of the Territory
alone has power to issue requisition upon
the commanding General for the whole or a
part Of the army.
q That there was no apparent occasion
fol the presence ofthe troops at Provo.
3. That if a rescue of the prisoners in ca S.
tody had been attempted, it was the duty Of
the Marshal, and not of the Judge, to sum
mon the force which might be necessary to
prevent it.
4. That the troops ought not to have been
sent to Provo without the concurrence of The
Governor. nor kept there against his remon-
STRANGE.
5. That the disregard Of these principles
and rules Of action has been in many ways
extremely unfortunate.

the amount to be thu, divided was the small
sum Of SIS, 900 per annum. Not only did the
President not remove the agent who received

THE Boris AND WISE AFrA1R.-Thc
Wheeling Times says We learn from gen.
tlcman from Richmond Saturday morning,
that the Bolts and Wise affair Is yet in abcy
ance. 1t appears that when Wise's abusive
article in relation to Hon. John NJ Bolts first
appeared, young Bolts determined to so and
shoot Wise in his own office. lie was dis
snaded from this course by more discreet
friends, and wrote the card IN relation to
Wise which has since been published. 1t was
understood. it is said. that in the event of n
challenge, Bolts would have chosen rifles at a
short distance, and Wise, though good shot,
is not fam liar with rife, and determined
not to carry the matter farther l.. is also
said that Hon. John Nj. Bolts intends to sue
Wise for SANDER, and thus, we presume, will
end this unpleasant affair.

issued Decree restoring General D. Antonio
Lopez de Santa Anna to the rank he held in
the Mexican army at the time he was expcl-
led from that country. If ever he should get

TIE SLAVERY CONVENTION. AS has been
repeatedly stated, convention of slavehold-
ers takes place in Baltimore on Wednesday
next. the Sth inst, the object heino l"t",,'
lronulgcd to take some steps towards regu-
lating the free colored population of the state.
What is to be done has not been exactly
Swallowed forth by any Of the organs favora.
BILE to the project. There are propositions to
drive them from the state entirely; or lceis-
late them back into slavery, but whether the
convention will favor such extreme measures
does not as We. appear.
1t seems to US that the convention is a use
less affair. its doings and sayings will
most likely be forgotten even before the cleo
ton, upon which some of those most active
in getting it up, are hoping to make it bear.
1t is not probable that the most violent slave
holder will favor any such extreme measures
as are mentioned above, for that would cause
CONJUNCTION iH the public sentiment in this
sta te most detrimental to the slavcholdng
interests; and so far as any police regulations
are concerned, the legislature is entirely com
potent, without such conventional help, to
make all necessary enactments, if the exist
ing laws properly enforced, are not su (licient.

The Republican states that Mccoy and

ted by the sentence, but Buchanan and Tur.
ner seemed TO fully realize and appreciate the
position in which they stood
The sentence Of Mr. Buchanan is considered
exceedingly severe, in this section, even by
those who were most eagar for his conviction.
He has had the sympatAies Of almost the

TIE CoURT.-The Circuit Court for
this county adjourned in April to meet on the
second Monday in June; the petit jury only
were to meet at that time, the grand Jury
having been discharged. A special Judge
was t. be agreed upon for the special term. and
it was understood that Hon. James A. Pearcc
had been agreed upon by the counsel in the
various cases set apart for trial. We are now
informed that there will probably be no Court
at the time specfed-somc Of the lawyers
being opposed to it. The Jury VIII meet, of
course, as instructed, and then be dismissed.
1t is now almost impossible to get case tried
in the Court here; business accumulated
during the protracted illness of Judge Con-
stable, and there has never been time since.
to clear the docket. This judicial District is
the most laborious for the Judge, of any in
the State, and as lawyers, owing to their
habtual disposition to delay, will seldom if
ever agree to hold court with special
Judge, we may expect continuance of the
existing state of affairs until an alteration of
the present Constitution, the Judicial Districts
being fixed by that instrument.
p. S.-Wc are informed that Mr.. Pearce
will positively not be here to SIT as Judge, and
that there is no probability, whatever, of any
Court being held on Monday week, in which
case il will be useless for jurors and witnesses
to attend. We have no authority to say so,
positively, but think likely an official notice
to that effect will be given next week.
Drlf you want fine Strawberries and
Cream, excellent Ice Cream, or fresh fruits,
and confectionery, call at Mrs. lIall's, nearly
opposite the Court House, and you will find
lust what YOU arc looking for.

How MAILS ARE CARRIED AND JUDGES

respondent of the Springfield Republican, at
Hudson, Wis, writes as follows:
The mails are packed from here to Superior
and bayfield, by men. Some of the carriers
walk fifty miles day during the entire year.
llalf-brecds are mcs;ly employed in the
service, and it is surprising that they can
pack suck enormous burdens. | have seen
one of them pack barrel of whisky one halt

Eighth Judicial District of Wisconsin makes
two visits annually to Superior and Bay field.
He sets out with two half breeds, follows the
st. Croix 100 miles in canoe, crosses por-
tage 10 miles on to the head waters Of the
Brule, which he voyages downto Lake Super.

see this heavy burden of legal lore pcrched
on the shoulders of a voyager, clothed in
buckskin breeches and red flannel shirt, with
huge pack on his back, wallowine through
swamps, miles in extent, dcvourcd by mus
ketoes and flies, swimming rivers and fight
ing Indians; if they could behold this scene,
their ideas OF judic;a! dignity" the majesty
of the law" Nc, would be lowered peg.
