SALT LAKE CITY, Utahf june II.
4 F1RsT-clAsa RENrTEHTIAAT-
think undue prominence haa been given
to the refusal Of the Mormous TO receive into
their City, County, or Territorial Jails United
States prisoner under sentence Of death, and
to their locking up the County Court House
during q noon teceas Of the District Court
In the first case, the United States is supposed
to be able to provide for its own prisoners.
The government has had Jail Of ita own in
Colorado ever since 1861, and recently it
e,ectcd PenitentiAry in Tint Ta1itory It q
cost Of $4,000. Let it provide itself Jail in
Utah. It il the first step toward executing the
laws, the only alternative Of wallng in aud
roofing over the Territory, and declaring it,
by act Of Congress, the National Penltentiasy
forever more. The locking up Of the County
Court House WAS simply tho act OF Sheriff
Burton, and he unlocked it when Judge VIII
son iutimated tlat il he didn't, he'd make
him.
REMOVAL. or FEDEnAL OFFICERS.
Tho Supreme Court has been in session here
this week Nothing important was before it,
except decision OF the Third District Court.
made last spring, to the OBJECT that none but
tho Probate Courts OF the Territory had juriH-
tlictiou in divorce. The ruling qf the lower
court WIS set aside Judge Wilson, by the
way, ia at the East, looking after his official
head. His supersednro waa doubtless deter
mined on by the President because Of his 1e-
t,ardinG somewhat too complscenty the gem
cra cussedness Of tho MormonB. Secretary
DIann was Clork of Wilson's court, and, fnlling
under the samc suspicious, has also been 81
pcrscdcd. Whatever may DO said OF their oth-
cial conduct, Which believe has been consc'-
cnsions and Impartial, they have At least noe
been aggreaEivesy anti-HoF7non, and, strange
as it may seem, thet appears TO hare become
the order Of the day. Heretofore, for hope
lessly long years, it has been TIC
other way-Federal officers have been re-
moved, az rule, upon showing any active
hostility to Brigham Young. Every lnolca'aou
Of determination 10 make the power OF INC
government felt IN otah. N KS OWE oehh1, Il
u1atter OF congsatuiation and 10, s1nce these
gentlemen have not escaped suspicioh, sheir
removal il perhaps best.
TENDER Fob THE pEssnET SE"s'
There il no news IA tho city ol importance,
unlees it night be that Elder Sloan has bor'
rowcd some typo and press of the DeseTes
N'esrs Office. begged subscription List OF
l1ghan, and commenced tue publication OF
one-hossc tender to the church paper, which
he calls Zion's Herald, or something Of the
sort He probably imagiues the suspension Of
Stenhouse's Telegraph has left a field no one
but Sloan can fill. Hen find 1t short
browsing, and very humble st that. But
it eeems to agree with him. Stenhouse
sold the Telegraph because be could no longer
publish it in defence Of Dighamism, consci-
entiously, and haying procured his start
through Brigbam, houor compelled him to sell
to some one WHO could support lis patron,
when he, from an unavoidable change Of
views could no longer do it. OF courso, Full
ler, VINO purchased it, being Gensalo a.
though willing to bow the knee to B1a, was
bound to fail. Brigham might tolerate him,
ho couldn't support him. He did fail, and
now Elder Sloan appears in the play, Like the
idiot who onlircns tho heavy trend Of tragedy
on the stage. There il less use for him than
for either Of the others. An able, dignided
enemy doesn't annoy mau htl1 u much as
sycophautic, sonReless and clowpish friend.
