When the above mentioned case was reached on
the calendar
Mr.. Purdy, United States Assistant District At
torney, said he was ready to go to trial with it,
Mr.. Sherwood, OF counsel for Taintor, observed
that this surprised him very much, as the District
Attorney had served him with notice to the effect
that the case would be called till the second
Monday OF the term. He mad not the slightest idea
that the case would be called till Wednesday. He
would be ready for trial a week from next Mon
day, and he asked that the matter be put of till
then.
Mr. Purdy remarked that he understood special
plea would be lnterpOsed on behalf OF the defend
ant. II such course were to be taken he desired
TO know It, II not ne was ready TO 60 to trial with
the case.
Mr. Sherwood said the report about a special

sci on both sides in relation TO the case, the trial

lady, who might die at any moment.
Judge Benedict said he would put the case down

the Post ONCE OF this city, He is indicted for hav
ing embezzled about s3O,ooO the property of the
government.
Counsel on behalf OF Mr.. Knapp moved to quash
the Indictment.
Mr.. Purch said he would save the learned gentle
man considerable trouble by consenting to strlk-
ing out the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth
counts.
Counsel on behalf OF Knapp then went on to con-
slider the other counts, and argued that the indict
ment should be quashed on the ground that the
allegations therein were vague and uncertain.
The Judge granted the motion as to four counts
and reserved his decision as to the fifth.

MoRMoNIsM IN THE EAsT.-Iion. John
NJ. Francis, Minister to Athens, writes to
the Troy Times that Elder Smith a cousin
of the late Joseph, is now in Greece, with
an official delegation, and proposes trip
through the Holy Land, proselyting and
sending converts to Utah. He is first coun-
sellor for the church, standing next to Brig
ham Young in authority. He is described
rs a man fifty five to sixty years old, with a
full blooming face and ruddy complexion,
an eye that sparkles with cunning if not
intelligence, II physical form denoting n
care for the body in the enjoyment of good
living quite as much as for the soul that
panteth after righteousness, and presenting
an avoirdupois of plumb 275 pounds. Elder
Smith is evidently n practical man. He
proposes no sentimental nonsense; but will
visit his hearers with argument and endeav
or to build up their faith to the end of his
Church's glory. A man of his avoirdupos
would find some difficulty in working upon
the hearts of the weaker SEX but there is
much in the promise of good home and
good sixteenth of husband.
