WHAT DOES IT MEAN?-A friend
writes the Salt Lake Review under
date of the 9Th inst, as fellows. which
needs explanation:
I'm travelling from TIE Sewer mines
to the American Fork canyon, |
camped in the American Fork creek
bottom, and ate supper at the Noun
tain House. Thinking of tEieVinE
MOrmoUS. and the weather being de-
lightful, made me sleep where miners
often do-near the animals. But to
my surprise [ was awakened i'll the
night by a tramping, thudding noise,
as | supposed, at first, by somebody
irving &c steal my animals. bat | soon
saw they We're all right. etthe noise
continued and the sound came onward,
nearer and nearer, and by the clear
moonlight | could distinctly see the
forms OF men on horseback coming
along the foot OF the Wasatch range
and travelling in northwest direction,
seeming to strike a low ridge i'll front
of them. As thew rOSe the bench
from the creek bottom. their forms
were very distinct between me and
the western horizon. and | would sup
pose there must be from I,5oO to 1000
men, from the time they took in pas

The Democratic expense for the fiscal
year ending juno 80. 1860, was S77, ,4G2,

expense for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1871, was S4S2. .257, ,971.56. This
makes m excess of $4O4, 795, 9G8. 81 OF
Radical expenditure for one year over
Democrntio expenditure during an equal
period. Both tho years given are years
Of profound peace. The enormous aud
unreasonable sum of Sl8, 600, 600 tax is

and shoes, and the Government only re-
ceives SO, 500, 900 of revenue from it..
Who gets tho remaining $l4,5Co, coo?

WEAK ATTEMPT AT KU KLUXIEG.
Mr. l. I. Davis informs us that on Thurs
day night last, party Of some FIVE per-
sous in disguise waited upon him late ut
night. at his residence, representing
themselves to be Ku KIux. It seems
that some fifteen days previous to the
raid, Il negro and white man-both, we
believe. living on Mr.. Davis lnnd-had
an alteration in his yard. The white
man struck the negro several times. was
indicted therefor and lodged in jail.
The rniding party seemed to regard Mr..
Davis ms aiding and abetting the negro
in the prosecution Of the white man, md
ho was informed that such would not be
tolernted. lie told them that lie lud no.
thing to tlo with the prosecution; on the
contrary, had tried to make it up be-
tween the parties. Could have induced
the negro to compromise, but the white
man was averse to any concession. Also
informed them that he thought the negro
had done nothing more than he ought to
have done, and uid not regard, III iiu
cast. their threats. Finding that they
hnd falletl to intimidate, the valorous i've
left but not before leaving muny warn
ings for the future. Mr.. Davis says he
has no idea that they were genuine Ku
Klux, but regards it weak attempt on
the part of few irresponsible sympn-
thlzers OF tho jailed white innn, to
frlghten him on account Of his supposed
completely with the prosecution. He
thinks the genuine ''order" ought to get
hold of these spurious fellows thus prac-
ticing upon their name and offices, and
gives it to them soundly for attempting
to encourage violations of the law. We
think SO. too; but the Chief difficulty, in
our opinion, lies in the old saying,
catching before hanging" There eau
be no doubt that it ia just such irrespon-
sible and lawless men lib walled upon
MIR. Davis who are bringing all this evil
upon the conntry-in pursuit Of their
own private grudges. and for which the
whole South il held responsible IN the
eyes of the Northern masses.
We copy the above from the Claren-
don Press. of the Oath. It is likely that
sensation papers will attempt to miscon-
strue the affair.

YELLOW FEVER IN CHARLESTON. BY
reference to our tclegraphio dispatches,
it will be seen that yellow fever, in a
mild form. has appeared i'll Charleston,
and is becoming epidemic. The action
Of tho Medical Society is summed up by
tho Courier as follows:
"The Medical Society. at its meeting
yesterday, announced tho existence OF
yellow fever, to limited extent. The
first case, they state, occurred on tho
9th Of July, aud yet tho whole number
Of deaths in tho mouth ensuing from
that period is placed at nine. It is.
therefore, apparent that they are sus.
tained III their conclusion that tho NOR
tality is exceedingly small. and would
seem to indicate mild form of tho dis
ease.' Another fact is that the larue
majority of the cases havo occurred in
one locality. pointing to tho evident con
clusion that its presence is due to the
blameable neglected. tho hygiene of the
city in that locality, and to the belief
that as measures have boon taken to re-
. move the cause. the effect, it is hoped,
will cease. While the Medical Society
have felt it their duty to state, frankly
and candidly, the trne condition OF the
facts. they express their judgment that
the period of time that has elapsed since
the report Of the first case, declares a
character OF disease not disposed to ex-
tend rapidly or widely We are in
formed that OF the thirty six cases. Which
are reported in the last month, many
were mild and ephemeral ia their clln-
racter.

earth exposed to the action Of the SUM-
From these local causes there had been
some few cases of fever, but snch ms
generally would be the necessary result
und not even amounting to the ordinary
mortality ut this season of the year. As
to the character Of the fever. tho physi-
clans themselves differed. and there has
been, heretofore, no official statement
upon which the press could form any
Judgment.

Quick work.

Yesterday closed on the completion of
the greatest enterprises that has been at
tempted in modern times-no less an un-
derlaking than the change of three hundred
and forty miles of the track of the Ohio
& Mississippi Railroad from a wide to a
narrow gauge. The width Of the road be-
fore the change was six feet. II is now
four feet nine inches. The m0dItS 0perG11di
OF doing the work consisted d in raising the
rails on each side, and moving them seven
and half inches toward the center. In
order to do this each spike had to be
drawn, the rails lifted separately, moved in
ward and respiked in their new position.
The idea of moving both rails is a novel
one. Hitherto the custom has been to al
low one of the rails to remain in its origi-
nal place, and TO move the other one
toward it the required distance. This
plan was found TO work badly in curves,
inasmuch as the arc of the circle of the
narrow gauge was smaller than that of the
wide gauge, ard consequently required
less rails. 1t was therefore necessary, in
all curves, to cut the rails, so as to make
them conform TO the smaller curve. This
one improvement is great saving OF
time aud expense; and had the change
OF gauge which the Ohio d Mississippi
AN'AAiOoN OOthpuhJ haNO Juop NOhAPANSSN
been conducted in the old way, it could
never have been performed in the short
space of time it has been. -
At daybreak yesterday morning the
work was commenced all along the track.
Eight men were apportioned off to each
mile, and those who completed their mile
first were sent forward to help the others.
At o'clock the General Superintendent
of the road received kilograms from the
different oveTseers of the work, from
which he ascertained that one hundred
and fifteen miles had already been com
pleted. He started from the depot at East
st. Louis, Immediately after, with train
consisting of one drswing.room car and
ten stock cars. He took with him all the
men he could get from the different rail
roads centering in St Louis and East st.
Louis, 10 work on the track between Fast
st Louis and Odin. al these men were
returned in the evening, having com
pleted their share of the work. On Sat
urday $50 men were transported to the
work from the roads terminating in St
