of all postmasters not appointed by the
president by the old method of com
missions on actual receipts of the office,
instead of the present mode of fixing
the salary in advance upon special re-
turns, and especially do / urge favora-
bic action by congress on the important
recommendation of the postmaster.gen

ments adduced in support thereof, in

THE MoRMON MIDDLE.
The affairs of Utah require your early
and special attention. The Supreme
Court Of the United States in the case
Of Clinton w. Englebiecht decided that
the United States marshal OF that terri
tory could not lawfully summons jurors
for the district courts, and those courts
held that the territorial marshal faith
fully performs that duty because he
held it by the Legislative assembly and
was not appointed as provided in the
act organizing the territory. All pro
ceedings Mt law are practically abolished
by those decisions, and there have been
but few or no jury trials in the district
courts of that territory since the last
session of congress. Property Is lett
without protection by the courts and
crimes go unpublished. To prevent an
arcby there, il is absolutely necessary
that congress provide the courts with
some mode of obtaining jurors, and !
recommend Legislation to that end, and
also that the probate courts Of the ter
rltory which now assumes to Issue writs
Of injunction and habeas corpus and to
try criminal cases and in questions as to
land titles, be denied all jurisdiction
not possessed ordinarily by courts Of
that description.
