The Deseret News brings Utah dates to July
18th. Peace Ieigned in the Valley of Brigham.
The News states that building and improve
ments of all kinds have been recommended
after a cessation of two years, during which
nothing in that way was done. 1t says:
improvements are being made in all the
towns and cities in this part of the Territory,
and several new settlements have been made
this season and more are in contemplation,
showing conclusively that the people are not
looking for the end of the world yet, and that
thoy have not forgotten, that 'the Lord helps
those that help themselves"
Since the settlement of Utah by the Nor
mons, a season of 80 much rain had not been
known. The farmers were busy harvesting,
and crops good.
Horace S. Eldridge had been nominated as
candidate for delegate to Congress. DR.. Bern
hisel, whose frauked Pub. Docs so disturbed the
rest of Horace Greeley, appears to have been
laid on the shell.
An important forgery case was in progress
in the District Court of the United States, in
which David Mckenzie, an engineer, is defend
ant
Mckenzie planned the execution by himself
of counterfeit plate from which checks on the
Assistant u s. Treasurer at st. Louis, Pur'
porting to be drawn by the Deputy Quarter
Master General of the Army now IN Utah, might
be printed lie consulted one Myron Brewer,
a saloon keeper, who in turn took the advice OF
John M. Wallace, and the latter communicated
the intended rascality to the commanding oih
Ger of the army and Judge Eckles. These dig
nitaries permitted Brewer and Mckenzie to CON
clude their work, which they did in the most
skillful manner When the plate was engraved
and after good deal of difficulty in getting the
proper paper, batch of checks was printed, and
one of them filled up and sold. The parties
engaged were at once arrested; an6 on the trial
a mol pros was allo wed in the case of Brewer,
for the purpose OF making him witness against
MeKenzie, the principal offender. Brewers
testimony is direct and explicit, and is confirm
ed in many particulars by the military officers,
who are constantly informed by Wallace Of
what was going on. The forgers intended to
issue $4,000 at present.

At the Convention of Spiritualists held at
Plymouth, Mass, on the 9th, 9th, and 7th of
August, .the novel features OF a marriage be-
tween two Spiritualists was introduced during
the exercises 1t is thus described:
The declaration of sentiments having been
got rid of, the next matter in order was the
solemnizatiOn of marriage between Mr.. Nathan
G. Lewis, and Mrs. Eunice A. Babbtt, of Bos
ton The lady was dressed in loose flowing
robes of white, deeply trimmed in blue, and
wore blue satin shoes The two girls, her
daughters by former marriage, were dressed
in exactly the same style, and followed her TO
the platform. The bridegroom placed himself
beside her. He is physician. Both had been
married before, and each about 80 years Of age
Mr.. Loveand, who was formerly Methodist
minister, though he does not now appreciate
the title of reverend, addressing the congrega-
ton, said;
ALTHOUGH Spiritualists in general do not ac.
cept, but are opposed to the regulations that
exist legally IN regard to the subjugation
of woman in the marriage relations, still they
do generally, if not universally, admit the pro
priety of making public acknowledgment Of
their relations"
Then turning tothe interested parties, he
said:
my blOlltl anu hlhAtIt dhh 1bu 70 hlhht no
promises, l impose upon you no obligation.-
All the obliL ations you have, you have your
selves assumed in your own spirits l know
your hearts. You have already in your spirits
cOnsummated the union as far as il could possi-
bly, be. / stand not here TO marry YOU This
congregation are not witnesses and are not
called upon to Witnesses of your marriage. .-
But l stand here to affirm legally the fact, and
to ask this congregation to join with me in Pro-
nounoing benedicton and blessing on the un-
ION into which you have entered, which you
here acknowledge and which you here formally
before the world complete. In token, then, of
this union, which you have completed in your
souls, and which you now confess before the
world, please Join your right hands,
The happy couple complied with the request.
Then Mr. Loyeland placed hand on each OF
their heads, and blessed them in this form:
And now, on behalf Of the audience, and on
behalf OF the attending spirits that are around
US and with us, bless this union; | bless you
in their behalf, as you start together in the
journey Of life"
This was the whole ceremony The bride
groom made formal bow TO the audienee =
The bride, who had been quietly tanning herself
throughout the performance, dropped courte.
sy The pair, with their little attendants in
white aud blue, stepped off the platform, apl
the audience applauded so long, that it seemet
as Il they wished the last scene oncored
Then Mr Wright was called upon to sa,
something on the subject Of marriage aud pateT
nifty He spoke for few moments, and ende,
by presenting 10 the couple a copy of one Of hi
works, probably "The Unwelcome Child. ~
Shortly afterward the Chairman was made III

rhs Yeralct o. the Coroner,s Jurg.

In case surrounded as is the death Of Mr.
Sterling, with iDnumerable doubts, il would be
impossible for jury to arrive at result which
would meet the views of all people. There are
those who "can't see" how a Jury could come
TO any other conclusion than that the death
was accidental; there are others who "know'
it was a murder. The Jurors, no doubt, intend
ed 10 safety their own consclenees, thing to
them, Of more moment than the speech Of
people"
The Leader and Democrat in saying that the
verdict was compromised one, have stated the
case too strongly. There was no compromise,
if by compromise is meant the yielding of a
principle. Itmust be remembered that such d
verdict as six men could sign must be rendered,
OF no verdict at all be given Explanations and
qualifications, therefore, might necessarily be
introduced in order to meet all the phases Of
mind existing in the six jurors,
That verdict, as in other verdicts where the
case is not clear, was, no doubt, one all We're
lolAb to sign, but probably not such precisely,
as any one, left to himself, would have drawn
up. We can easily imagine such a state Of
faets, and we doubt if any six men taken from
any crowd in which this matter is hourly dis
eussed, could come TO a perfect agreement. il
is unjust, therefore, 10 that jury TO say they
oOmpYomised--in the usual and wrong sense IN
which the word eOmpTOmise is used-butto say
that the jury made concession in the matter OF
phraseoiogy aud in the way of explanation
which explanation would be unnecessary # all
people would construe language aike-un
doubtedly is true. Compromise means "nu
tual agreement" In that sense we hnd nc
fault with its use, Tor surely that jury did come
to a "mutusl agreement" else il would nevel
have rendered hB verdict Herald.
We echeefully give place to the above expla
nation Of the Herald, whose editor was a mem
Of the Jury. We intended to use the wor'
compromise IN the sense of mutual agree
ment, and not 10 convey the impression that
siogIe juror by disagreement, demanded th'
yielding Of principle Ia justice to the juTo
referred 70, it is but proper to say that we nos
have the best assurance that a majority Of th
jurors cOneuned in the prOpriety Of the latei
cause Of the vsrdiet-"they also believe il Poi
siblo said frasture Was caused by fall"

The NeEt House of Represenlntives.

The popular verdict against the misrule Of
James Buchanan gathers force with the Con
gressional elections in nearly every State, North
OF South, East or West. Having baDkrupted
an OverAowing Treasury, and changed an Ad-
ministration majority of thirty-one over all in
the House of Representatives TO an Opposition
maj'y. of seventy -one in the States in which the
elections have been held, it is no marvel that
~. B." in disgust issues his pronunoiamento
from Bedford Springs that he will not be can
didate for denomination. Old aud hardened a
politician as he is, he is not quite deaf to the
thunder of the ballot-box.
The House, so far, stands as follows-27
States have elected ls9 Opposition members,
and So Democrats Six States, Minnesota,
California, Maryland, Georgia, Alabama, and
Louisiana, have yet to elect In the last Con.
gress they were represented by 6 Opposition,
and % Democrats. Should the six States
stand as before, the Opposition preponderence
in the next House will be "a, Should the
Democrats carry the whole 80 members yet to
be elected, they would still be in minority of
AZ.
There are so many shades of opinion repre-
sented in the Opposition ranks-tbe Republi-
can being the great element--that no one will
have the control ofthe House Independently
The Opposition may be classified as los Re
publicans, IL Anti. Lesompton Democrats, 8
North Americans, and IL South Americans. 1t
requires 1ls for majority of the House, The
Republicans will lack l2 votes of controlling the
House The Republicans, Anti 'Lecompton
Democrats, and North Americans, if they act
tsgether, will cast 1875 votes The Republi-
cans and AntiLecompton Democrats will cast
Just IIs The Democrats would be in minor
ity with the aid of the South Americans, having
but 100.
1t has been assumed that the Democrats
would have a majority Of the State delegations,
so that they would elect their President should
the election be threwn into the House, in which
case each State has but one vote, and two can
didates must be drawn from the three highest
on the electoral vote. 1t looks nov as if the
Democrats were not sure of more than 10 of
the States, whereas it takes II for majority.

Five million acres of French soil are devo-
ted to grape culture, producing annually over
eight hundred million gallon Of wine, at an
average cost OF ten cents FER gallon. From
its cheapness, it is the almost universal drink
OF the people In Paris it is computed that
each inhabitant consumes 2l6 bottles OF wine
i'm the year In the wine district of France,
each person takes $50 in the same period
While it ia thus a universal beverage with the
Frenchman the Englishman spends his money
Tor coarser and more stimulating beverages -
The population of Great Britain, upon the
most correct estimate that can be made, consume
nearly four hundred millions Of gallons Of
spirits, and six millions five hundred thousand
gallons Of wine.
The average yield OF French yineyards is
450 gallons per acre, and the total annual val
ne of the produce about eighty four millions Of
dollars Eleven million gallons Of brandy are

The collection in the rooms Of the Rhode
island Society for the encouragement Of Do
nestle Industry has received an interesting ad.
diton-a bonnet braided by Mrs. Betsy Baker,
in exact imitation, braid, shape and trimming,
of the first straw bonnet. Not knowing any
other way TO get ii than TO braid it herself, Miss
Betsey Metcalf, that was her maiden name, saw
an imported Dunstable straw bonnet in Col.
Whipple's store, and being a true Yankee girl,
she set herself to work to initiate il. With no
instruction, without the opportunity Of un-
braidinq a specimen of the work 10 see how it
was done, she perseyered till she made a bon
net that was the envy Of the other girls. Thence
sprung up a business which to day employs
10000 people, and turns out 100000 bonnets
and hats annually in the single State Of Massa
chusetts.
The public attention was FIRST directed to the
subiect, End TO the service which one young
lady's ingenuity had rendered 10 the country,

OF the Society Her portrait, painted by LIN
coin and presented to the Society by Gov Dy-
er, hangs upon the wall Of tie Secretary s
Office few days since she presented to the
Secretary a fac smile of the first bonnet that
she braided, and It will be preserved as memo,
rial Of a most interesting incident connected
with a large and important branch Of domestic
production. The bonnet, it may be supposed,
differs materially from those now in use'-

Prot. Wise describing his last balloon voy-
age, says: We plainly saw that the southeast
wind below, which drove us little TO NORTH
west at starting, had now supplied the atmos-
phere with moisture enough to make growing
rain cloud Slowly, but interestingly, the va.
por assumed milky hue. Presently It assumed
the appearance of vascular cloud then 1t
spread out and bulged down in the middle, and
soou it had the appearance Of a great udder,
with the water oozing through it, but more CO.

"OccasionaIr ? the Washington correspondent


"Occasionalr p the Washington correspondent
If Forney's Philadelphia Press, writes;
The result Of the elections in Kentucky and
Tennessee, securing the gain of several mem
bers, to the South Americans, has stimulated
expectations for place in the next House OF
Representatives, to new series of estimates an
speculations The Administration desires to
control the Southern Americans on account Of
heir ideuity with the peculiar institution, while
some of tho Republicans are not without the
hope that they can induce them to unite with
them on a ticket and thus control the operations
Of the House. Both these expectations are
destined to disappointment. If you will turn
to the record Of 1855 and 1856, you will find
that no efforts could induce the Southern Amer
leans To vote with the Republicans in the or
gauization otthc House. Besides new issue
has since arisen. The Southern Americans,
who have succeeded in the late elections in
Kentucky aud Tennessee took ultra Southern
ground in regard to slavery, and are to day
widely removed from the Republicans. | shall
not be surprised if there should be a Protract-
ed contest before the next House of Represen-
tatiyes is organized.
Gov Chase is here. His friends think he has
a fair chance for the nomination for the Presi
dtuCV.

HES- We stated, last week, upon the faith of the
telegraph, that Brown the leader of the insurrec-
ton at Harpers Ferry was dead but he is moi only
alive, though suffering from nine wounds, but is in
a fair way to recover He has had conversation
with Senator Hunter, Of Virginia, and others, in
which he seems to- consider himself not only justi-
Fable, hut engaged in a most holy cause. Whether
this is for effect his honest belief, we can not
say but II he believes he has a right to murder
Aoutherners in order to free their slaves he ought
not to think II hard measure if southerners hang
him for his pains. And the man who acknowledges
that he has stolen other peoples property, and has
committed murder besides has a slender basis upon
which to found a claim to martyrdom. Hanging
and inamy are his just due and it is pity that the
same fate can not overtake all who have aided and
abetted him.
