Late events in Utah demon. n.trate that AFFAIRS

VIII no doubt be necessary for the Govern
ment 70 interpose strong hand for the main-
Uehanee OF law and order. Polygamy of itself
Is pniaWtSI and irreligious-a foul blot upon
the age, and inconsonant with Christian civili-
zaiion. The federation extended to its advocates
and votaries so long as they did not array
themselves against the Christian world, be-

assassination is encouraged in defense OF their
peculiar institution.

Gently settled in Utah, and the rupture between
the parties is daily widening A few weeks
since Mr.. :. N Brassfield. one ofthese GentiIes,
residing at Salt Lake City, was married to a
lady there, claimed as the wIfe-in polyeamy-
OF Mormon now absent on a mission. Charges
OF resisting the police on the night of his mar
riage were instituted against him, and his
wedding night was passed in one of the cells
OF the city prison. The lady fearing that ef-
forts would be made TO take her children
from her, caused a writ of habeGs corpus
to be issued from the United States
Court, in srder to ascertain whether she
was entitled to the custody OF them or not.
Brassfeld, who is said to have been a good
peaceabie citlZer, was returning from the
court room where the case was being tried on
Monday, April ,, and when within a few
steps OF the hotel where he resided, and i'm
company OF the United States Marshal WAS
shot In the back and within one hour from the
time he left the court house he was a dead
man. The Utah Tidetts. publish in Salt Lake
City, says it was the publicly expressed opinion
OF certain MOrmons IN that city that Brassfield
was justly punished by death, and that the
balance OF the GentIles would be served in the
same way if they were not careful, and adds -
'lt would be useless TO deny the fact that in
the opinion of the Gentle community of this

TIE SALE TO THE RAILROAD COMPANY.
EGitor Stdr:-I vas surprised to see by

ommends to Congress the sale to the Wash

the Government reservation between Sixth

SO, uesignates II as a a.sworthless piece of pub
lie property" Without pausing TO remark
upon the questionable propriety of a Govern
ment of1cer depreciating the value of public
property, wish to say that the Commissioner
has not been well-ad yised as to the value of
said property. II lies but one square south
of Pennsylvania avenue and contiguous to the
business part Of the city. Moreover, as il

that this locality would be a main landing
