The Utah Imbroglio.

We received a call on Thursday from o. D.
Huyck, Esq, editor Of the Utah Reporter, who Is
on his way TO San Francisco. Mr.. Huyck's posi-
ton In connection with the only Gentle paper In
Utah, enables him to keep well posted on the
movements now on foot for the Reorganization Of
that Territory and his conversation throws much
light upon the seemingly contradictory policy Of
Brigham Young's antagonists. Several Of the
leading Gentiles Of Utah are now in Washington,
to furnish testimony before the Committee on
Territories and TO press the passage Of the Cul
lom or Cragin bill. Letters from Mr.. Beadle have
been laiely!received. lie is now confident that
something will be done before the adjournment OF
Congress. Whether IL will be in the shape Of the
Cragin bill in the Senate the CulIom bill in the
House, Is yet uncertain ss the authors OF each bill
are somewhat tenacious in their devotion TO their
own progeny. Shaiier, the newly appointed Gov.
ernor, will not come out TO his Territory unless
some bill ia passed and number Of the princi.
pal citizens Of Utah. now In the East, do not pro-
pose TO return unless secured by some additional
Legislation. Mr.. Beadle writes that the President
has promised 10 thoroughly execute whatever bill
may become o law. He thinks il will take ten
thousand men. Governor Shaffer thinks II will
require only few hundred, il he can have arms
and authority 10 call for volunteers from the sur
rounding country. Tn relation TO the assessment
of church property by the United States Assessor,
the Revenue Department officials say they will
stand by the proceeding and afford Taggett every

Mr.. Huyek says there is considerable specula-
ton about the movements Of the Mormon authori-
tieo. Rumors are afoat that they design soon to

CHSEsE EXTEEIrrSNTfuH. Tie san Fran
cisco bulletin must he hard up for sensational
matter if it cannot find anything better than
Irish rebcllions and Chinese determinations
with which to amuse its readers. It's story
runs in this WISE: That an organization ex-
lists in that city composed of Irishmen, for the
purpose of robbery and numbering the Chi
nese. On n preconcerted signal on st Pat
rick's day the rising is to take place, and woe
to the Cinnamon. The Bulletin gravely init
mates. that this will DO followed by general
sacking Of the city. Really, the Bulletin is
very complimentary to our Irish fellow-citi-
zens. 1t credits them with n very self-sacr-
ficing spirit, when we remember that a large
proportion of the property and business of that
city is owned and controlled by men Of foreign
birth. The Irishmen do not like the China
men, and they are right about it; no white
man of any nationality has any eauso to like
them; they are a curse TO the country; but
the Bulletin, and other journals, that like no
foreign population except the Asiatics, need
have no fear about q massacre on st. Patrick 3
day. The Mongolians will have chance for
another year to inilict their damaging presence
on this country.

SATURDAY. FEBnpAhY as. is1o.
Elko and u, stats convs.tion.


It will be sometime before the Democratic
early to suggest the proper place for the hold
ing Of the Convention. Elko is that place.
The western counties have hitherto had ex-
elusive control over the location of political
: conventions, and over tina conventions them
selves y~hen convened. We propose a change
In the programme. The Democratic party
proposes to make a change In the political con-
dition Of the State this year, and in establish
ing an initial point Of the political revolution,
there is no locality which should have the
preference to the town Of Elko. Eastern Ne
yada is row power in the politics of the
State, and as such it will claim recognition.
It is particularly entitled to consideration
from the Democracy, for to great extent it
is to this population we must look for the re-
generation of the State. ..s
Elko, from its geographical position, is con-
venient to access-more so than any town in
the State. The railroad brings it closely with
in speedy communication with the western
counties, while the powerful counties of
White Pine and Lander will find it convent
ent halfway house. The town is we'll sup
piled with every accommodation required for
the convenience of delegates.
We call the attention of the State Central
Commute to this matter, feeling sure that the
Committee can fix upon no town in the State
which will give more general satisfaction, or
which is more justly entitled to it, '.'' .'
Similar considerations are pertinent to se-
lection by the Republican State Committee.
Both Conventions ought to be held here. The
delegates from the east have travelled to the
west many times, and spent their money
there. The western members should now be
willing to reciprocate. .'. u.

Death Of Samuel F. Wilson.

We are panied to learn of the death,
on Friday last, of Samuel +. Wilson,
Esq, one of the proprietors and for
many years past the leading Editor OF
the New Orleans Picayune. Mr.. Will
son was q native of Connecticut, but
had resided at the South, and been
identified with all her interests, during
the greater part of his life. He was
sixty fve years old.
Mr.. Wilson in years and Editorial
Service was among the oldest Editors in
tho South. He had achieved il llie h rep
utation as an Editor at Mobile before he
came TO New Orleans. During his
editorial career he was distinguished
for ability, learning and fairness and
courtesy towards all, which endeared
him to men ofall political parties. We
doubt whether he ever offended po-
litical opponent by an unkind remark.
His editorials were vigorous and poll
ished in the highest degree, and lie
never wrote q line which "dying he
would wish to blot" His death is a
public calamity We heartily sympa
flise with our venerable contemporary
n the loss of its cliiefest ornament.

The New Orleans Bee.

We are pleased to observe the firm
and decided stand taken by this old
and reliable journal against the insid-
ious attempt of part of the press to
disband the organization of the Demo-
cratic party. The Bee emphatically
denies that any such object prompted
the call of the late press Convention,
that call having originated with its own
conductors and been written in its own
Office. Mr.. Limet, it's able editor,
fought manfully and successfully in
the Convention against the project and
announced that if it should succeed he
would withdraw from the Convention
and have nothing more to do with it.
The Bee is the oldest journal in the
city and has been remarkable through
out its whole career for the ability,
candor and decency with which it has
been conducted. Its editorials, both
in French and English, are in striking
contrast with the fippancy of other
more pretensious journals in the city
We look forward with pleasure to the
aid it is destined to afford the Demo-
cratic party and its principles in the
coming important campaign. And we
arc equally pleased to believe that the
Democracy will lend it that support
which such conduct so richly deserpes.
