NOT SUSTAINED. A complaint was
made to the Mayor yesterday, by W. P. W. Taylor,
against Watchman Boze, charging that officer
with transcending his duty. The cause of the
complaint was, that on Saturday night last, Mr.
Powhatau Wren started with Mr. Tayior's servant
to have delivered number Of packages of shoes
Boze and his partner stopped the servant, while
with Mr.. Wren, and, finding that he had no pass,
and not knowing who Wren was, carried the ser
want back to Mr. Taylors store to ascertain if all
was right After the complaint had been made,
Litut. Gay, DR.. Conway, and Messrs. L. C. Barns
aud Geo. f. Sadler, were called for the defence,
and gave him very high character for honesty,
sobriety, truthfulness, and promptness in the
discharge of duty. The Mayor thereupon dis.
charged the accused, aud acquitted him of all ins
territorial wrong.

ARRIVAL OF THE
CENTRAL OVERLAED MAIL.
Latest Salt Lake News.

GENOA May 9th,
The Salt Lake mail arrived here last night
at o'clock, eight days and ten hours from
Salt Lake. Kirk Anderson retires from the
Valley Tan. Col. Johnston offers military
protection to persons migrating to California
by the Central Route, and those who desire
to leave the Territory
Gov. Comming issued a proclamation on
the 9th May, requiring those persons who
had associated themselves in military organi
cations to disperse, and appointed John Key
the Mormon Marshal, to carry out his orders
His return to Gov. Cumming was, that he
could not find any persons in arms-that he
only found some bodies of men engaged in
hauling or hewing wood, having their usual
weapons with them.
The MarshaPs return did not disarpoirt
any one. 1t is well known that the Nor
mons are drilling in the mountains, and the
passes to their retreats are carefully watched
and guarded. Very serious trouble is antici.
pated. There is a very large emigration
Through Mr.. Hickey, who came passenger,
we have late and reliable news, received by
himself direct from Benjamin Holiday, who
Just returned from the so-called diggings,
that the Pixies Peak mines are a humbug.-
Nothing but stealing, numbering and general
violence were going on. Thousands of the
poor, humbugged and deluded people were
leaving, and so wretched and destitute is
their condition that Government is issuing
rations to them ct Fort Laramie.
The last eastern mail arrived in fourteen
days at Salt Lake out from st. Joseph. This
mail passed a large herd of cattle at Gravelly
Ford, bound for California via. Honey Lake
route.
Capt Simpsons company of engineers are
in the vicinity of Gravelly Ford. The Hum
boldt river is very high.

THE REAsoN.-The s F. Herald thus gives,
as it says, the reason for the hatred of the
Custom House clique to John Nugent:
For long time past almost every species
of indecorous abuse and ribald objuration
has been hurled at Mr.. Nugent. The assaults
of envy and infuriate animosity have been
incessant but like some rock in the midst of
tempest tossed ocean, the yeasty waves
have dashed harmlessly against his unyield-
ing form and fallen rebuked at his feet. This
acerbity and causeless persecution can be
readily accounted for from certain sources,
that are nameless in this journal; but what
is its exciting cause from those who profess to
be of exactly the same political views of Mr.
Nugent? Here is a seeming paradox winch
it may not be amiss TO unrayel. Mr.. Nugent
is and has always been a warm and eons:s-
tent supporter Of the Administration, and hls
political vitupePatOrs profess TO be animated
by like sentiments, it is, therefore, clear that
their hostility mast either emaRate from some
other motive, or that his maligners have
stultified themselves A man does not quar-
rel With his neighbor for espousing the same
cause he holds in reverence, especially when
that neighboP is tower of strength in him
self What. then. is the muddle by which
their irrepressible passions have been so
much aroused ? 1t simply comes from the
