GREATEST FINAN-

New York Herad


The 'Sahughraun" isIthe greatest fnan-
cial success of all BOucicault'S plays. In
the first four weeks S4S,473-50 were taken
at the box Office. Mr. BOueicault has sue

the best commedies that has appeared since
the "SchoOl for Scandal Envions critics
may say it is all stolen; that it contains eff
fscts taken from Byron, Shakespeare and
Hugo; that the dog is only a copy Of the
dog Schneider; that there is the same old
priest, the same handsome officer, the same
forward Irish girl anxious to be kissed, the
same police spy and informer; that the fox
hunt is repeated from aLOndon Assurance
and that Conn, the Shanghraun, is a kind

fiddle and dances with the lasses. But a

as well, and the people will be satisfied.

THE FAvOBITE POISON IN MEM
PHIS.
Memnhis Ledger.

Shielding has become popular in Mem
phis. There we're two within the past
twenty-four hours. In Paris the would-be
suicide plunges into the river Seine after
having repeated a studied bon mot to some
bystander. In London the style is TO leap
from the bridges into the Thames; but in
this land of liberty the knife, the pistol,
and the life-stealing drug are the means
by which they this knot intrinsicate OF life
unite. In Memphis the Mississippi river
affords ample advantages and opportunities
for the weary of life, but cold poison seems
TO be the fashion here, especially nor
uhine, that drug by which life dreams into
death.

Yesterday the salt Lake Daily Herald published
In It's editorial columns the following article -

Herald regrets that Utah has Chief Justice VINO

Jury OF the Third district OF Utah. Chief Justice
Mexican directed them to inquire into the disposal
made by the Territorial Legislature OF the vast
tracts Of public lands OF the many streams Of
water, and the vast forests OF timber, What
will be dono with them after they have
been inquired into We do not know; un-
less, indeed, with the accommodating spirit
for whicn the Chief Justice OF Utah is

couple other mines. While we rejoice that day
of atonement has at last come for the extra loyal

The Indictment OF George Q. Cannon.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. %, 1874.
As regards the indictment OF George Q. Cannon,
the Congressional Delegate, for lascivious cohab-
itaton, under the territorial STATUTE It is claimed
that the Court dare not indiot him under the
Polygamy act OF Congress passed In 1862, because
the United States statute Of limitations bars all
such prosecutions, and the Poland bill would
allow writ OF error to o superior court, whereas
the Territorial law would not admit OF such
appeal. No more arrests have been made.

John Morrissey silent.

John Norrissey was also called on last evenings
by HERALD reporter, but when informed Of thel
nature OF the business upon which IL was souRhe|
to obtain statement from him he declined, hel
said, to say anything further than that
there had been little din1culty betweeu
himself and Mr.. Creaner In regard to the
way in which his name had been used
at the cooper institute meeting but that nothing
more than little plain talk had occurred. Mr.
Aorrtssey said he did not desire TO appear in tho,
papers in this matter, but that II the whole truthl
was not told In any account that might appear hal
should deem IL hts duty to make clear and rue(
statement, which would be supported BY wit-l
nessea Who these witnesses are be refusedt
to say.
Mr. Crsamer Refuses 60 Speak.
Mr.. Thomas Dreamer, who was one OF the prtn I
cipas In the afrair above described. was also
called upon yesterday but he declined to REFER to
the difnculty between himself and MI. Morrtssey
further than to say, tnat he nad mot sought any
conversation with Mr.. Morrissey and that he ha0
done Oil 10 hts power to prevent any disgraceful
scene which might under the circumstances have
very naturally occurred.
