The House Committee on Territories
have under consideration the subject OF
roorgauiaing the Territory of Utah, so that
voting therein will be based upon legal
votes, instead of inhabitants, which will
give the gcntilos a show of fairness. An
other project before the ssmmitteo is to
divide the Territory, SO as to reduce tho
Mormons to u state of necessary inferior
ity, terrtorially, and compel them either
to abandon the soil which they now in
habit, or obey national law.

ish all who contemplate going this spring
to be in no hurry about starting, No one

An Aninnrnna sinssiom.


The Ohio Legislature has accomplished
nothing. There is not school in Holmes
county OF elsewhere in which the scholars
could not do the work of legislation with
as much judgment and apparent good
sense as the present Black Republican
legislature of Ohio. The people feel out
ragged at the expenditure Of from $4,000
to $l0,0 ,000 for a legislative drunk, but
for all the good the Legislature has ac-
complishcA the entire expenses of tho Ses-
sion, some $200,00 might just as well
have gone in the same way.
1t was hoped that since the voters Of
Ohio decided last fall at the ballot box,
by $4,000 majority, that they did not
want annual sessions that the taxpayers
would be relieved OF the burdens Of a
session next winter, which cannot but be
a repetition of the silly doings of the pres
ent legislature, But, we have but anoth-

of the Brooks House, on Camp street. The falr

the ornamented balconies of the splendid new
building, and enjoyed the serenade, and repaid 1T
with their brightest smiles But Capt. Brooks was
not happy much as he felt gratifed and compli-
mented his big heart was sad, for the Guard had
caught him off his guard, and he was not prepared
to give them the hospitable welcome which he
wished. They should have limited what was to be
be done. But he says that next time club gets
after him with their music there will be such q
popping Of corks, and other doings, as will make
amends for the past. He will be armed and equip

asked the usual question, to which she replied,
after looking at the man, g No, that's not him."
She was afterward asked il she would know the
man should she see him. She replied without hesi-
tation that she would.
The examination being all in French, and having
to be translated into English and written down,
was necessarily tedious. 1t being late when the
child finished her testimony, the case was con
