Is " AZ IMPosIrIoS?-The Dessert
News, 81 salt Lake, denounces as IAN
imposition the practice of Assessing and
collecting taxes on Mormon trade wagons
coming iuio our city. Where is the i'm
position, if iax has not been paid in
Utah? Do not our merchants and pro-
vision dealers, with whom these travel.
ing traders come in direct competition,
have to pay tax on their stores and ware
houses? We are aware that it is uncon-
stitu,ioral to put restrictions on trade
between the different States and Terri
tories, but this is not in the nature of a
tariff-it is properly tax; and is not prop
erty, under general rule of law, taxable
wherever fouGd? And evan if the tax
exaote,i we're put OH Top Of former tax
paid in Utah-the legality of which we
could not contend for-;he balance Of
trade would still be greatly against US, as
the Utah producers take our coin out and
never bring p'cayune in. But such of
them as produce TAX receipts from the
counties they come from in Utah are not
assessed in Phoebe.
CAPTAIN KETrEN, Superintendent OF
the Ingomar, leaves on the Salt Lake
stage to-day for California, where private
interests call him. He leaves, we under
stand, for all time to come, and will not
again put IN an app aarance unless some
unforeseen circumstance should recall
him. The Captain has been resident
of Phoebe for over two years. and pre-
diets for us bright future, notwithstand-
ing the present dullness.
A NEEDED IMPRovEMENT.--We suggest
to the Commissioners that it would be n
great public convenience to have large
lamp erected at the corner of the pave.
ment in front of the Courthouse, to be
lighted ON moonless nights. Many have
business with the county officers after
night-fall, and, there being no business
houses on Lacour street above the Post
office, it is usually perilous to shins to
grope up that street.
A FIGHr ON MEADOW VALLEY STREET.
About O'Clock last night, on Meadow
street, couple of fellows, one Of whom
at least was spelling for fight, locked
horns. attracted big crowd, and spilled
enough of each others claret to make
the event interesting. An officer APP
peared and arrested the alleged aggressor,
who will be given an opportunity to ex-
plain matters before Justice Stouten-
burgh to-day.
CHANDLER, the man who was jagged
for obtaining money by personating an
officer, and in whose case the jury failed
to agree last week, was having second

hear the result. The verdict, if a
verdict was found, will be given in our
next.
LAST night we noticed the first case of
beastly intoxication in many days. The

in state OF Inconsistencies, across the
pavement on the south side of Meadow
Valley street.
