Tie original design was to station 900 troops for
the coming Winter, and supplies for the one already
stored at Camp Douglas. three miles from this city.
But within the last few days notice has been given to
the eommandant that only 1000 soldiers will Winter
here and the Commissary has received orders to sell
the surplus supplies They have cost million OF dol
lars and the officers that their sale Will in

demonstrate beyond all question, that this Withholding

efficient and experienced agent Of the Post0fice De.

COLLECTION OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE,
Brigham claims for Utah population OF 10000: 1t
cannot be less than $1,000. The Territory has been
settled eighteen years and much property accumulated
Yet the Internal Revenue for this year is assessed at
less than $4,000; and Of course that will be reduced
in collecting. Colorado has much less wealth than
Utah. After being settled but six years, with pop.
ulaton Of about 60 900 last year she paid $4,000 Of
Internal Rcvenns This year, Montana, which has
less than 10 900 people, and has been settled only two
or three years, pays over $4,000.

which induced the appointment Of Poygansts to these
responsible positions. originated with Mr.. Seward.

Moreover it causes wholesale perjury Every one Of
these officials has taken the oath TO support the Cons
