The Utah Troubles.

The President, on February IA, sent q
message 10 Congress calling the attention
of that body to the condition of affairs in
the Territory of Utah, and to the dangers
likely to arise during the coming recess
from threatened conflict between the
Federal and Territorial authorities. The
President says:
The organic law creating the Territory of Utah.
passed September Q, 1859, provided for the ap.
are Judges Of the District, clerk a marshal and
an attorney, and to these federal officers ia con-
lined the Jurisdiction in all important matters But
as decided recently by the Supreme Court, the act
requires the jurors to serve in these courts to be
selected In such manner as the Territorial Leg
islature sees fit to prescribe. 1t has undoubtedly
oeen the desire Of Congress, so far as the same
might be compatible with the supervisory control
Of the Federal Government, to leave the minor de-
tails connected with the administration of the law
to regulation by local authority; but such de-
owing TO the peculiar circumstances of the case
to produce conflict between the Federal and the
Territorial authorities, to impede the enforce
peace and good order of the Territory. EyidenfIy
It was never intended to trust the Territorial
Legislature with power which would enable it by
creating }Ia;c,sries Of is own or increasing
Territorial authority, although recognized by
Congress, to take the administration Of the law
out q the hands Of Judges appointed by the
The President recommends that the
selection of grand and petit juries for
the district court, if not put under the
control of Federal officers, shall be placed
In the hands of persons entirely indepen-
dent OF those who are determined not to
enforce any act of Congress obnoxious to
them, and also recommends the passage
of an act which shall deprive the petit court
or any court created by the Territorial
Legislature of any power to interfere with
Or impede the action of the Courts
presided over by United States Judges.

THE EMPEROR WILLIAM ON BROKEN EN-.
GAGEMENT.-A curious story has just cropped
out in Cassel, Germany, touching a bet made
between two officers there. One of the gentle
men, who was count and adjutant, laid down
the proposition that man of rank and title
could, whenever he chose marry rich heiress.
He proposed bet, indeed, that within eight
days he could get himself engaged to certain
young lady who possessed the highly desirable
qualification described. The bet was accepted.
This young lady was the daughter of the widow
of man who had been the proprietor of
gambling house, and she was said to have half
a million as her dowry. The count set to work
to win the girls affections, and succeeded. An
engagement in Germany is solemn affair, and
is always published in the newspapers. How
ever, as soon as the engagement was arrived at
the count claimed the bet, and then wrote to
the girl to say that, on account of her father
having been a gambler, it was impossible for
him to marry her. The engagement was an
nulled, and the final results, it was thought, of
this humorous affair, were large quantity of
champagne and broken heart. But the EN-.
peror William heard of the little romance and
did not like the looks of it at all. Probably
before the large quantity of champagne had
been drank, both the officers in question found
themselves under arrest. Atpresent, according
to the commands of the Emperor, they await
their trial by court-martial and it is highly
probable that they may find serious cause to
repent of having engaged in that merry jest.

THE MoDoCS REvENGE.-The treachery OF
the Modocs in numbering the peace commits
sioners bring up afresh the history OF the
former massacre, in which eighteen Modocs
were murdered. In 1852 North California was
disturbed by Indian troubles. The same year
company under the command OF Captain
Benjamin Wright organized and proceeded
from Yreka to the Indian country around Tule
lake and the lava beds, and fought three un-
successful battles. Their force being insufi-
cient for the Modocs they returned to Yreka
and organized larger force, and then marched
again to the Modoc country. Winter ap-
preaching found the Modoc supply of blankets,
ammunition and food extremely limited; con-
sequently the Modocs were anxious for a cessa-
tion of hostilities.
Capt. Wright received the Modocs' overtures
with great cordiality. A peace conference was
agreed upon, and place was appointed in the
immediate vicinity of the massacre OF Gen.
Candy. The conference met, about twenty-five
Indians and thirty white men. While discus
sing terms, Wright gave his men the signal,
and in moment they killed eighteen Modocs.
Capt Jack was then but nine years old, John
Schonchin nineteen, Boston Charley and Hook
er Jim two years each. 1t is probable that
revenge grew with age, eliminating IN the
Candy Thomas massacre. Some years after
ward Wright was appointed Indian agent at
Rouge river. He was appfehensive OF Modoc
vengeance. One night Moaoc Chief, named
Enos, murdered him, and horribly mutilated
his body. Enos was afterward captured and
hanged. He died exulting that he had wreaked
vengeance on the leader of the massacre of his
murdered tribe.-BOSton Post.

GENERAL GILLEM AND THE MoDoc CHIEF.
1t would possibly have been well for General
Gillem, even though Federal officer, to have
remembered the message of the King of Israel,
"Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast
himself as he that putteth it Off"
The General, some weeks ago, sent word to
Captain Jack that he did not intend to leave
the Lava Beds until he carried him and his
tribe with him. Up to the present writing
General Gillem has not been able to secure
either the Modoc Chief or his tribe In fact,
it is admitted, we believe, by every one, at least
by every one outside of army circles, that our
boasting General has been outwitted, if not
whipped, in open fight
The telegrams informs US that occasionally
the Federals take few scalps and that occa-
sionally the Indians take few. Each side
now keeps its tally in scalps. Captain jacks
scalp, however still rests securely on his own
head, and the indications are that it will be
some time ere it bangles at the belt of General
Gilem or any other man. If Gillem had only
fought like he Dragged" the campaign would
have come to an end ere General Davis, the
hero of the Ebenezar Creek massacre, took
command. 1t would have been rare sight to
have seen the dashing Gilem pulling off his
harness, hung all over with reeking scalps.
These boasts do not read we'll when they get
cold. They remind one of Pope and Hooker.

THE NEW POSTAGE LAw.-On the S0th of
next June, the present postal law expires and
the new one adopted by the last Congress
comes into force. This requires postage paid
on everything sent in the mails, including
newspaper exchanges, or newspapers in the
county or parish in which they are printed
This must cause some new arrangements about
exchanges. 1t is impossible for daily papers
to pay postage to any extent on their ex-
change list sent out from their Office, and it
will result in severe pruning of oil superfu-
Gus papers. There are several daily journals
from centres of intelligence that must exchange
with each other, while there are others which,
although desirable, are not so useful; while
there remains a large list which are rarely used.
We believe that the next Congress will be
forced, by public opinion, to modify this por-
tion of the new postal laws. The local County
papers are no mean power in the land, and
this compulsory postage law is unjust to them
and unfair to the interests of their subscribers.
If the whole postage bill of the United States
press was paid by the department, it would not
approach the 1.-THE of thestea of the Congress-
men of their back pay, and they are precious
set to inaugurate tax on the free circulation
of the newspapers of the country.

HUsBANI, AND WIFE.-Did you ever hear
the word Husband" explained? 1t means lit
orally the "head of the house," the support of
it, the person who keeps it together, a band
keeps together a sheaf of corn. There are
many married men who are not husbands, be-
cause they s,re not the band of the house,
Truly in many cases, the wife is the husband (;
for oftentimes it is she who, by her prudence
and thrift and economy, keeps the house to-
gether. The married man who, by his dissolute
habits, strips his house of all comfort, is not a
husband; in legal sense he is, but in no other i;
for he is not q house-band; instead of keep
ing things together, he scatters them among
the pawn-bcokers.
And now let US see whether the word "wife"
has not lesson too. 1t literally means q
.sweaver." The wife is the person who weaves.
Before our great cotton and cloth factories
arose, one of the principal employments in ev-
cry house was the fabrication of clothing (;
every family made its own. The wool was
spun into thread by the girls, who were there
fore called spinsters; the thread was woven in
to cloth by their mother, who accordingly was
called the weaver or wife and another rem
nant of this old truth was discovered in the
word Heirloom" applied to any old piece of
furniture which had come down to US from
our ancestors, and which, though it may be q
chair or bed, shows that loom was once a
most important article in every honse. Thus
the word "wife" means weaver; and as Trench
we'll remarks, Gin the word itself is wrapped up
a hint of earnest, indoor, stay-at-home occu-
pations as being fitted for her who bears this
name"

WONDERS OF NEWSPAPER PRINTING-The
New York Herald claims that its last Sunday
edition numbered 10000 copies. Each num-
ber consisted of twenty pages, that is one hum
dred and twenty columns, of which seventy
eight were advertisements and forty-two read
ing matter. The Herald says:
A detail which will be perfectly new to non.
professionals is, that to produce one hundred
and fifty thousand full copies it was necessary
to take nine hundred thousand impressions.
To accomplish this, in the short time allowed,
five rotary Hoe presses of eight and ten cylin-
ders each and two Bullock perfecting presses
were kept rolling off one thousand impressions
per minute. To drive those huge presses two
engines of eighty horse power are kept in mo-
tion by burning six tons Of coal in the furnaces.
To form the stereotype plates for the cylinders
eight tons of type metal were melted down to
cast one hundred and forty-eight plates weigh
ing when finished and dressed thirty-eight
pounds each. The ink on a single copy would
not be taken into consideration by the average
observer, but it required seven hundred and
twenty-five pounds to keep the rollers prepared
to leave the imprint of their kisses on the
eighteen million virgin pages that were to glow
at daylight with the news. And those rollers
were composed Of five hundred pounds of glue
mingled with one thousand pounds of honey;
Then the virgin pages-the paper on which all
this is printed. There are eighty men and boys
about the presses handling it. Sheet by sheet
it is passed in by the feeders until seventeen
tons or thirty-four thousand pounds, are printed
on both sides. Ifyou were to pile those sheets
up one upon the other they would make mon
ument one hundred and twenty-five feet high.

Gov. Warmoth, of Louisiana, has beer

- Gov. Warmoth, of Louisiana, has been
sued for $4,000 damages in Louisiana Court,
by convsct whom he had pardoned. The
complainant sets forth that while serving a
sentence for manslaughter in the State Peni-
tentiary he was pardoned by the Governor,
and that he was entitled to his release February
%, 1872. He was not, however, set free until
August Is, 1872, and claims the amount men
toned on the ground that his retention in
prison was caused by the neglect of Gov. War
moth.

He was also indignant. He said to us: "To

is full of corruption, and deceit, and deviltry-
chock full Of it."
