AFFAIRS I'm UTAH.

Our neighbors in Utah are having a
family quarrel, which is drawing pretty
near to focus if one may judge from
the language used. The assassination
of DIR. Robinson was the keynote of this
discord, and the action of the Congress
who have examined large number of
witnesses in rsgard TO the condition of
Utah, the effect of their institutions,
numbers. temper of the people, etc. has
somewhat exasperated the Mormon lead
ers, and led them to harsh words and
untold measures. General Connor and
several of his staff have been before
the committee, and their testimony will
tell hard against the Mormons. Chap
lain Mcleod deposed that the popula-
ton of Utah was less than rs, 900, of whom
10000 are adult males and $4,000 adult
females, with an annual increase by en-
igration of 5000 to 5000. The Gentle
percentage eight and a half, while about
one third of the adult males are polyga-
mists; that Mormonism justifies decep-
ton, robbery and theft of the Gentiles !;
fosters hatred toward all other govern
ments and religions devotes its enemies
and opposers to perdition, and virtually
justifies assassination. General Connor
recommends the DISTINGUISHING of all
Mormons who have entered into polyg
amy since 1862; an amendment of the
election laws, enabling American citi-
zens to vote after residence of thirty
days, and the stationing of 1000 troops
in the Territory as protection to Gen
tiles and those who wish to sever their
connection with the Mormon church.
He says the military strength of the
Mormons is much over-rated; five thou
sand soldiers, properly commanded,
would sweep the Territory like Bosom.
The testimony of all the witnesses is

A PROTEST.

There has not been sin e the original
act of confederation was adopted, Con
gress that has enacted so many import
ant measures as the one now in session,
and that which preceded it. Composed
of radical men, and the lead given to
those whose Proclivities are for extreme
measures, they have set about the work
of restoration and reconstruction with a
definite object in view, and are making
quick and rapid strides toward the goal.
Questions of policy are ignored expe-
diency is n secondary consideration

concluded, "If a man is right. he can't

expire the same year, and the citizens
are called upon to elect eight Aldermen
and Mayor at the ensuing election.
The canvass has already begun, and the
numerous aspirants for civic honors are
working vigorously for the coveted posi-
tions. In a municipal election party feel
ing is in a great measure, and rightfully,
laid aside ; and the question of whether
the candidate is a Democrat or Republi-
can, gives precedence to his capabilities
to discharge the duties of the Office for
the best interests of the city and the
public. Our knowledge of the approach
ing election leads us to the belief that
this motive will actuate the majority at
the coming election, and that the officers
will be chosen with regard singly to
their capabilities, character, and identi-
fcation with the interests of the city. A
number of our prominent citizens, hav-
ing looked carefully over the field, have
selected, as proper person to fill the
position of Mayor for the ensuing term,
Mr.. l.. G. Lee, the present efficient Chief
OF Police, who has consented to have his
name presented to the people for their
suffrages, with the explicit understand
ing that he is to be an independent, peo-
pies candidate, untrammeled by any
party, clique or faction and, if elected
by them on this avowal, will discharge
the duties of the office to the best of his
ability. We believe the selection to be
an eminently wise and judicious one,
and that majority of the citizens will
so decide at the coming election. Mr..
Lee is well and favorably known to the
people of the city. His interests are
identified with it; his character and
record are unimpeachable ; his capabili-
ties to discharge the duties unquestion-
ed while he will bring to the office a
more thorough knowledge of its people
of all classes than perhaps any other
man who could be selected. A citizen
of the place for three years, having la
bored earnestly in bringing order and
law out of the chaos of crime and tumult
in which it was involved and thorough
ly conversant with it's necessities and
requirements, the office would be be-
slowed upon one well qualified to dis
charge its duties, and whose labors for
the good of the city are unqUestioned
Each of the four wards have the select
ing of two Aldermen to represent their
interests in the City Council and as
the time is rapidly approaching when
the choice will be decided, it would be
well for all who have an interest in the
government of the city TO consider the
respective merits of the candidates be-
forehand and decide upon whom they
will support.

THE DEMOCRAT.

We find in the Democrat of Thursday
a halEcolumn article devoted to this
paper, in which we are notified that,
hereafter, we will be made to toe the
mark" 1t is implied from this that past
offenses are forgiven, and we feel greatly
relieved. The recent annihilation of the
Gazette in seven articles of one issue of
the Democrat, had filled US with fear and
trembling, and we expected when our
turn should come, to get an entire broad
cross-trees and cook-house and felt very
much relieved when il proved to be only
a squib from the quarterback. We are
really sorry to see that the recent change
of editors (which we had thought was n
private business transaction, in which
our cotemporary was in no way inter
ested) has been to him a subject of such
profound solicitude. The statement is
made that many inquiries have been
instituted why the change of editors
was made, and the subject still appears
to be wrapt in mystery and bear heavily
upon the mind of our neighbor. Well,
we wouldn't want you TO remain in such
a deplorable condition we'll tell you
something. If anybody asks you why it
was done. You look very profound, shake
your head gravely, and tell them
you don't know. You see they won't
believe il, Major, and you will be called
a cunning old fox" and people will
say, che knows more than he will tel, :"
shes non-committal )" and they'll give
you credit for being great deal wiser
than you really are but don't, for gra-
cious sake, publish it in your paper
Somebody who is not acquainted with
you, might possibly see it and it would
ruin you. We are dodging the issue,
amt WEI Well, we merely "send you
these few lines to inform you =" that your
article is noted. We respectfully decline
the controversy you are evidently seek
ing. We can devote our columns to
better purpose, and are content to see
your paper and that of your Helena an
tagonist devoted to personal attacks and
recriminations. Please consider us cut !;
and, if il is not asking too much of a
favor, permit the Posi- TO do as it pleases.
If you really publish anything good on
us, however, we will insert il in our
columns so that people can read it.

FROM DEER LODGE.

EDITOR Posi-: We confess to being
guilty of a dereliction of duty for the
past few weeks, but it is not to be at
tributed to an attempt to dodge the is
sue-raSher to lack of material for a
letter prior to the holidays.
Christmas and New Years days have
both come and gone as well with us as
the denizens of the metropolitan cities
of the Territory. The wheel of Time
has made one more revolution, and
marked its tally as well on the head
waters of the Columbia as on those of
the great Missouri and the occasion has
been celebrated with great ecLat among
the older citizens of this community.
Your correspondent was absent on
Christmas day, but learns that best of
all German customs was thoroughly OBJ
served 4. G. Christmas calls, and that
everybody was happy, the political
hatchet buried and all personal enmity
suspended for the day. Another pleas
ing feature connected with the occasion,
was no drunkenness, and consequently
no rows or fights.
On the 2Sth the grand ball of the sea
son was given at the Deer Lodge Hotel
by it's worthy host, j. A. Clarke, Esq.
1t was a perfect success In point of
dancing and supper, but on account Of
it's miscegenated propensities was not
quite so social rs it might have been,
had none but persons of either of two
races present been admitted; some of
the ladies and a few of the gents, not
having fully accepted as a fact the pro
visions of the bill giving civil rights to
certain persons within the jurisdiction
of the United States"
The demise of the old year and the
birth of the new was duly solemnized
and celebrated by cOnvivial party un-
der the auspices of Thomas j. Fay, our
popular p. NJ, where the wine-glass and
the " flowing bowl - circulated freely
amidst the many toasts, songs, rhetoric
and wit of the assembled guests of the
occasion. New Years day closed with
/ a ball at the Western Hotel, which Was
! largely attended and passed off TO the
entire satisfaction of every person pres
ent The supper was excellent. We
do not remember to have partaken of u
/ better one in the Territory.
Our rural denizens were somewhat
astonished at the appearance in our
midst of the "hermaphrodite rig" which
/ the Helenal local" declines in despair
attempting to describe. All we desire
to note, is it's peculiar facilities for trans
porting the mail. On going to the Post
office we found our letters quite wet,
and by inquiry ascertained they had
been deposited in the center of the Lit
tie Blackfoot by We conductor of We her
maphrodite, and that We conductor had
not missed We sack, and that the same
remained there until it was somewhat
! diluted.
The races are all over and the dog and
1 cock-fghts ended, and we have turned
over a new leaf with the usual number
of good resolves. The weather is fine !;
the mines promise well in the spring
the grasshOppers fail TO inspire any
dread, and healthy, pecuniary and ben
eficial season is anticipated. With high
hopes, we are yours, l.

be too radical" and have determined to
fight it out on that line" with every
prospect of it's taking them all sum-
mer." Not satisfied with the overthrow
of rebellion, they are hedging the ma
tional ark with bulwark for future de
fense not content with emancipation,

privileges than his late master and pre-
cipitating upon the Territories, at least.
laws which are at variance with the will
of the people. While many of the meas
ures adopted meet with appreciation from
every loyal man, we think that in fore
ing upon the citizens of the Territories
(who have not, to our knowledge COM
mitted any overt acts of rebellion, or pc
titioned for the leading of the vanguard
of the host, in favor of negro suffrsge,)
the acceptance of this most ultra radical
measure, Congress has done us injury
and injustice. They have vested in them
the privilege of making all needfil laws
and regulations for the government of
the Territories but this enactment
would scarcely come under that head !;
and we, as sovereign citizens thereof,
should have the privilege of deciding
whether or not there should be "a de-
nial of franchise on account of race or
color" They have already passed par
alel law in the District of Columbia.
Over this, Congress has exclusive legis-
lative power, and if they are desirous of
inaugurating a mixed form of govern
ment in that model republic, let them do
so, and we wish them joy. But this
foisting upon the Territories-whose ap-
peals for necessary enactments and pro-
lection are passed by heedlessly-an
irrevocable edict entirely uncalled for
and odious to a large majority of their
inhabitants, is an assumption of author
ity which even the progressive spirit of
the times will not warrant. When the
States from which these liberty-loving
radicals come, have admitted Africans
to these rights and privileges when the
Southern States have been placed in the
same ranks; when the people enact it of
their own free will and accord, it will
have been time enough for the enigrat-
ing freedmen to stand side by side with
Americans at the ballot box in Montana.
Although this act of Congress has no
doubt ere this received the approval of
the President, and stands law upon the
statute books, we repeat, that it is dis
graceful imposition upon the people,
void of any beneficial effects, and will do
more injury to the Republican party in
the Territories than any previous action
of Congress, or any principle advocated
by the party. If, as we presume, it was
intended as a precedent for the estab-
lishment of negro suffrage in the South
ern States, when they shall have been
reduced to a territorial basis, we would
thank the honorable law makers on the
Atlantic seaboard to try their expert
ments on some other people; and if they
cannot take cognizance of our necessi-
ties, to forbear taking advantage of the
authority vested in them, not for the
purpose of clothing them with arbitrary
powers to thwart the will of the people,
but to assist them in developing and civ
ilizing the country.

the perpetual buster of our Insurance
Companies is beginning to take a turn,
and should fully so along with "much

in every direction with these concerns
crying for business, and you dare not al
Jude TO the subject of Insurance lest a

horror of death or fire conjured up TO play
on your feelings. Every Thoughtful man,
indeed, knows the anxiety, the risk of
leaving a family in beggary constantly
cause him-every thoughtful man, every
business man, knows the great difference
between the insured and the uninsured
against 6re-at least, | guess, when the cry
is raised; but | know, and beg to state a
fact admitted in modern insurance prin-
cipIe-that sound and reliable Companies
do not boast-they merely convey their
actual position to the public. And it is
further admitted, on the ground of expe-
%riencc, that those Companies which boast
most, repudiate oftenest.
