A Coon APPoINTMENT.-W find the
following complimentary notice of Major
S. A. Mann, the new Secretary of the Ter
ritory of Utah, in the Mountain Champion
of the 18th of April, published at Bel
mont, Nevada Mr.. Mann was former
resident of Rutland, and we perceive he
is to make visit here before leaving to
enter upon his duties in Utah:
Major s. A Mann has been appointed
Secretary of Utah Territory, so the Eas-
tern dispatches inform US. We understand
from the Major that he has made arrange
law library and office, and intends accept
ing the position. We are sorry to lose
him from among US. 1t will be long be-
fore we look upon his like again. As an
honest, upright citizen he has his equal
but no superior. As an able and eloquent
lawyer he has few, very few equals, and
fewer, if any, superiors. We have always
been interested in watching the Major In
hard fight, and we could always tell
when he had one on hand Armfull after
armfull of law books would go past our
sanctum from the Majors Office to the
court house; the Major would always
head the procession with the largest pile
of books, followed by client and witness
loaded down. the BOOKS arranged on
the table in front of the Court, the
Major was always ready to proceed no de
lays, no motions for continuance with
bin If plaintiff, he was always ready :
if defendant, and the plaintiff sought
delay, why have you brought US here
before you were ready you chose your
time" was the Majors inquiry, and a
question that he insisted on being legally
and satisfactorily answered by atfdayits.
Once in the suit he is hard; very hard to
beat I.itigants spoke with confidence
when the Maj or was their attorney, and
he was invariably on one side of every
important suit They felt the same conf
in him that Napoleon bad IN his heavy
artillery. Litigants and lawyers that
were opposed to him, spoke as though
thew had lu-t soon somebody els.
was on the opposite side. The MAYOR
is always courteous III the conduct OF
cases, hat il il an iron hand III IA vrlvot
glove and sometimes with an equivocatlng
witness the velvet seemed very thin.
Frequently the invectivcs c3tInc ont ho'
aud seething that withered and cut t.
the bone He Is always pr pared on cv-
cry conceivable point III the case which
can possibly arie,'. No he~itat'ng nor
haltlug: no sending hithcr and tElthcf Tor
buuk~ the authorities are always ou hand,
and the Major ready 10 give reasons fJr
the faith that is IN him, earnestly, candid
", and clouuently. His speeches at tho
Court House. and 1T public gatherings
will long bc remembered as eloquent and
possessing a weight az logic that made
the >phnter- fly wherever he struck. We
understand the Major intends starting "a
law business at Salt Lake; VIC know he
cannot keep out of it long, he takes n
naturally to the law a duck To water or
an Irishman to his whiskey He cannot
but be successful, and he has our best
wishes We understand that he intends
going East on IA visit TO Rutland, Yer
mont, before permanently settling 1T Salt
Lake.
A PREDIcTioN.-Mr. Froude, III hi,
address ut St. Andrews, the other day
commented severely on the carelessness
which England had shown in the work OF
colonization. and, referring to the emiYra-
tion OF the Irish peasant to America, he
said I'VE babe him carelessly 20 where
he would, and shift as be could for him
self He went with sense of burning
wrong, and he left root of bitterness
behind him Injustice and heediessness
have borne their proper fruits. We have
raised up against US mighty empire to
be the rival, 1t may be the successful rival,
of our power" The students here Says
the Scotsman broke out into the chorus
OF "Rule Britannia" which they contin-
ued for some time, to the great amuse-
ment of all present.
