The amendment to reduce the appropria-
ton for the bureau of education from Sl4,-
800 to $500, and cutting off the provision
for any other offices than the commissioner
and two clerks, coming up, Mr.. Morrill, Of
Maine explained that the bureau having been
merged into the Interior department., there
was no law TO warrant the continuance of the
proposed clerical force.
Mr. Gates believed that the country re-
CURED national bureau, and uniform stan
dard Of education, and thought it disgracefu
that necessary provisions on this subject had
not already been made. The introduction of
the colorcd element into national politics
made it the duty of the government to edu-
cate their race more imperative.
Messrs. Sumner and Patterson spoke of
the Importance and value OF an educational
bureau. Without taking vote the Senate
took a recess
At the evening session the appropriation
bill was resumed, and the section relative 10
the bureau of education was informally passed

partmcnt being under discussion. Mr.. Sher-
man remarked that it had been proposed by
high officers Of the government to combine
the sccretaryship OF the war and navy in one
office. His own opinion was, that the Office
Of secretary OF the navy could be dispensed
with, in view of the merely routine character
Of lis duties. Last summer the department
run along very well under the charge Of an
Admiral of the navy.
The amendment was finally laid over with
out action, and the Senate adjourned.

The KILLING OF THE MURDERER or DUSS, IN
UrAn.-It will be recollected that last Sum
mer good citizen of Glover Valley. by the
name of Dunn. was foully murdered by a
Tuffian. named All Horz. The murderer sue
ceeded in making his escape, but through the
vigilance of Sheriff Fitch his whereabouts was
ascertained and measures taken for his arrest.
Deputy United States Marshal OF Utah. Capt
Story, and Deputy Sheriff J. I. Carrigan. oC
this county, left Salt Lake City on Sunday
last, to arrest Horz, who was near Grantsyille
An attempt TO arrest him was made at a house
on the west side of Grantsvilh, on Tuesday
Carrigan drew his revolver, wacn the Deputy
Marshal took ont the warrant and commenced
to read it. Horz jumped on Carrigan and took
the pistol from him and fired nj Storey. whom
he shot and killed. He then fred two shots nj
Carrigan, woundiug him slightly and then
made his escape, well mounted. going south.
Carrigan obtained the Assistance Of the Sheriff
of Tooele county, and posse from Grantsyille
and started in pursuit. Porter Rockwell and
posse also started from Salt lake City. The
criminal was ovcrtakeu six miles from Grants
vile, when he resisted the officers and COM
menced shooting Mt the posse, wouuding
three, but was finally killed. 1t is evident
that he had made mp his t.rind not TO be taken
alive. The remains of Captain Story were
taken to Salt Lake City and buried. The loss
of life attending the attempt to arrest him is
greatly regretted i'll Utah. How Carrigan
could have allowed him to get his weapon
away from him and use it upon them is hard
to understand. Fuller particulars of the az
fair will be had in n few days.
