had letters from Washington. asserting
that a bargain had been made between

q NATIONAL hotel,

A National Hotel is projected-not at
Washington or Sitks. but at Salt Lake
City. Singularly enough the PROPOSE
ton is made in Brigham foung's organ
the Deseret Ne,cs. and more singularly
still, II ia to be Joint Stock Hotel, in
which outsiders" are proffsred all the
rights. privileges. immuniries and ad-
vantages consequent upon being stock
holders in the Continental hash house.
The Ners says such q building as is
needed would cost $500. 900 or 81! !OOO. 900
and suggests. 1T should be built upon
the Joint Stock principle. and the capi-
talists of San Francisco. Sacramento ard
California generally. and OF Nevada. of
the Territories. of Montana and Idaho,
OF New York, Philadelphia. Boston, Gin
cinnati. st. Louis. Chicago. Omaha and
of the entire Eastern States would find
il to their interest to subscribe stock
towards its erection. The people OF this
city can furnish the necessary materials
and ground for the building AS their
share; but we would like to see it a Ma
tional Hotel in the strict sense of the
words hotel in which the capitalist
and business men of every State would
have a direct interest. We have no
donbt respecting the result OF the in
vestuent financially"
We cannot understand the unusually
liberal and fraternai spirit evidenced in
this proposal unless from knowledge of
the fact that such mammoth enterprises
generally result beneficially TO the city
and disastrously to the individuals put
ting up the money, whose interests go
under the Sheriff's hammer when the
shrewd ones come in for profitable in
vestment. Or il might be that il is con.
templsted a monied interest in that city
by capitalists will some day be advan-
tageous in averting retributive Justice.
Since Brigham has prohibited CONNER
c'al transactions with merchants not
Mormons. and adopted new alphabet
unlike that We use, We think it would
be wrong to deprive his people of the
immense profits that are TO accrue from
the great Hotel. and might lead to un-
pleasant business complication. We
anticipate, therefore, Salt Lake City will
be permitted to build il itself

amendments to the acts OF the Fourth
Session, effrcting the interests of all res.

Capitol; Deer Lodge the Penitentiary.
There have been no public improves
ments OF consequence encouraged: no
buildings, free roads, or direct effort
to induce the introduction of capital
or immigration. Nor has there been
any retrenchment of expenditures or
relief from taxation. The revenue law
has been amended, as was shown to
be necessary by the collection of only
twothirds of the assessment last year
but the hundred thousand dollar debt
of the Territory has been increased by
the individual appropriation and extra
compensation of the session, and the
fifteen per cent. interest will voracious-
iy eat up the $65. 900 per annum paid
into the Territorial treasury. On the
other hand, there have been no prs
