opens the third year of its term with a
reduction for the month of the national
debt of $lI,0ll ,25065 This is about
two millions in excess of the average
monthly reduction of last year,and near
ly double the amount of reduction eff
fected in March, 1870, 1t brings the
total decrease since the advent to power

2434. 076,6405 Taking the basis Of
our population at thirty nine millions,
this gives proportion of S6204 per
head as the measure Of our national OBJ
legations. In England the existing pro-
portion is about 1923 per head, and in
1866 our own was over one hundred dol

United states Authority In Utah.

Utah is supposed to be, territory OF
the United States. 1t is so named on
our maps and in the volume of United
States laws, but Brigham Young contrives
to rule that country in defiance OF Uni
ted States authority. The judges are APP
pointed by the President to administer
the law, and we learn from the address
of Chief Justice McKean, discharging
the Grand and Petit Juries at Salt Lake
City, recently, the means used by Young
to continue bis power in that territory.
The highs priesthood of the Mormon
church, Of which Young is the chief,
have instituted a novel end unique meth
cd Of regulating the ballot. The Terri
torial Assembly, which they control,
have enacted that all ballots shall be
numbered, and the same numbers writ
ten on the poll>lists, opposite the names
of those who vote the ballots thus en-
aiding them to ascertain how every elec-
tor votes, and to keep a record Of his
name Under this system no man can
be elected to the Assembly but the can
didates of Brigham Young, and the pre-
siding officers of the two houses OF the
Assembly are always members OF the
Mormon church. They had the etfront-
~ to elect Marshal and District Altor-
ney to serve in the courts, in the place
of those appointed by the President, but
the Judge refused to recognize them 1t
seems that Young is as great on the
constitution as our modern Democrats,
when the law is to be applied to South>
ern .Ku.klux assassins. He says there
is not in the Federal Constitution the
dotting of an i, nor the crossing OF a t.,
giving any Federal official any right to
be in this territory" This is genuine
States rights" applied to territory
In consequence of the refusal OF Judge
Mexican t. recognize the Mormon Marsh
al and Attorney, the Legislative Assem-
bly, refused to provide funds for the per
diem of Jurors, and 10 that way compell-
ed the Judge to send them home. This
broke up the session of the Court, much
to the disadvantage of the people inter-
ested in pending suits, especially mining
claims, Of which there is large number
involving considerable amounts. 1t is
about time Brigham Young was Taught
lesson of obedience to United States au-
thority.

The Paris rebellion, or insurrec,
tion, or communist uprjSing, or what
ever it may be called. has, it is to be
hoped, nearly reached'its close. 1t
is the peculiar Characteristic Of the
Paris extremists to- assume that
France must be free that Paris is
France the socialists and proletanes
are Paris !; ergo; that the Partisan
mob is the French Republic, one
and invisible" While the Prussians
were overrunning France, oaptur,
ing province after province, aud ar.
my after army, the Partisan mob
were furious in their denunciations
of the aristocracy and of the wealthy
classes, and conceded to the prov
inces the exclusive right of fighting
the Germans. When Paris was sur
rounded they were vehement in their
appeals to the provinces to rescue
the city, but they did very little, if
anything to repel the invasion, or to
defend Paris. When, 30 save Paris :.
France had to. consent to peace mp
on such terms as she could obtain !;
when the last German soldier had
marched out, then the Paris mob be.
came valiant again; then it assumed
the character of ruler of France :;
then it proposed to make Paris indie
pendent then 1t insisted that there
could be no government for France
that was not within the walls Of
Paris, and holding Office by the CON
sent Of the communeS Of that city.
Constituting themselves govern.
ment they seized some of the forts,
and turned the guns upon the govern.
mont which had saved the country,
or at least its pieces ; and men who
could not have been induced to show
themselves outside Of the walls to
fight the Germans, sailed bravely
forth to march on VersajlIes to de.
pose the only political organization
that stands between France and an.
archy.
The conservative people of the
city, the people Of persona respecta.
bility and substance, are powerless !;
while the reckless and unprncipled
mob, arms in hands, rule the streets.
But the people of France have arisen
to recover sParis. The government
Of Versailles has been able to collect
an army and to drive the mob back
within the gates, and at this time
Paris is invested by French army,
seeking to recover it from the mad
men who have seized it. How the
city is to be recovered so long as
these lawless fanatics hold it, and
will defend it, Is not easily foretold.
Bombardment is out Of the question,
but the world will Justify the gov
eminent in treating the actual par
Elephants in this usurpation with the
utmost severity. These men are the
bane OF Republicanism in France,
and everywhere else. Their idea Of
liberty is the despotism Of the street
mob, No wonder that France IT,.
ssinctively recoils when a republic,
founded upon such principles, and
governed by such men, is presented
TO them. Even monarchy, with Sc,
cnrlty to life and property, and peace
md order, is preferable to the Roche.
iortism, with a government of cut.
throats, assassins, and agrarians -

My offer Of accepting town aid, or 9th,

was made as compromise to the citi-

you value received for what you have to
pay.
Since my circular of March 9th, |
have handed you law of our State to
aid in building railroads, under which
am prepared to act and operate AS we
want the aid and cooperation of the PEG
pie in this matter, we did not intend to
issue any stock in building this line of
road, but will do so if the aid is given us
under that law and for that eonsidera
ton. My object is to build the road, and
it is for you to say if it is of Importance
enough to you to extend the needed aid
for 50 doing. Should the towns vote the
needed aid, will agree that it shall be
placed in responsible hands and paid
over to me as the road is being built, OF
the work progresses, as we may agree
upon. And at the time | receive the
amounts from the towns, | will transfer
to the proper ofscers Of the towns the
same amount of the Iowa county indebt>
edness, which is good thing for them
to hold, as it draws interest and is Gers
tainly good for the towns proportion of
the county debt when it shall be paid (;

towns may elect.
