adjourned to Monday morning.
Counsel for Stokes says in case the de-
cision of Judge Davis is averse to grant
ing new trial, application will be made

deavor to obtain letter from Judge

He has great hopes, however, respecting
the decision of Judge Davis.

Washington, Feb. IA. President
Grants message respecting Utah calls
attention to the dangers likely to arise

eral Territorial authorities with the gem
eral judicature of the Territory. Evil
IDENTIFY it was never intended to intrust
the Territorial Legislature with power to
create judicature of its own, or increase
the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts.
In both these respects Utah requires
legislation by Congress. The selection
OF grand and petit juries must be placed
in the hands of those entirely indepen-
dent of those determined no. to enforce
any obnoxious Act of Congress. An Act
should be passed to deprive Territorial
Courts of all power to impede the action
CT the Federal Courts. The Act Great

such legislation.

Salt Lake,

Salt Lake, Feb. 15.-The special mes
sage of the President on Utah affairs is a
stunning blow to the hopes of the polyg-
amists. The Church organs are evil
IDENTIFY at loss what to do. The Herald
says it is another heavy dose, but they
must dance to the music furnished them.
1t repeats the threadbare argument that
polygamy is part of religious faith,
and therefore above rightful attack. The
News affects moderation and forbear-
ance, and says if a collision takes place
it will not be begun by them, and advises
peace, calm endurance and resignation.
The general tone of the press to-day is
indicative OF great fear, as it was not
thought possible that the Government
would materially change its long-con-
tinued policy of letting time and ad-
vancing intelligence and moral influence
solve the Mormon problem. The power
of the Mormons at Washington was
deemed impregnable, but now the danger
is imminent. They are all filed with
CONSERVATION; in fact, panic every
where prevails among the priesthood.
The masses of the Mormons, though APP
parently anxious to await quietly the re-
suit, it is we'll understood that
a large majority of the better class
secretly sympathise with the
Gentle cause and would joyfully well
come the day of emancipation from
Brishams despotism. Hooper's second
speech in Congress, in reply to Clagett
and others, is pronounced by Mormons,
as well as Gentiles, his weakest effort
during his whole ten years as delegate.
The most extensive and interesting
collection of specimens from Utah has
been forwarded to New York for the
Vienna Exposition. There are great va
rietes and OF much value, and it is ex-
pected they will attract great attention.

The Truckee Republican, of recent
date, furnishes the following information
of contemplated fume enterprise of
considerable magnitude:
number of capitalists contemplate
building hume next spring from Lake
Bigler to Truckee, following the course
of the river. The fume will be built for the
purpose of floating lumber, railroad ties,
mining tlmbers, wood and shingle blocks,
and perhaps saw logs. The distance
from the lake to Truckee by the way of
the river is fifteen miles. 1t is matter
OF surprise that such an enterprise has
not been carried into effect ere this. The
grade from the lake down is very even,
and only about thirty.six feet to the
mile. There are no engineering difficult
ties in the way of running flume from
Lake Bigler to Steamboat Springs, only
about ten miles from Virginia City. The
distance from the lake by way of the
Truckee river to Reno. and from thence
to Steamboat Springs, is about sixty-fve
miles. In order to get sufficient fall. the
Hume would leave the river short dis.
lance above Reno. Floating lumber.
timber, wood, etc., from Lake Bicler to
point SO near Virginia City as Steam
boat Springs is an enterprise that is per.
fectly feasible, and is quite likely to be
soon carried into effect.
