SALT LAKE, Oct. 16.-There were two
indictments brought in by the grand jury
yesterday for lasciyious conduct, and il is
generally believed they were against Brig
ham Young and Geo. ID. Cannon, late
Congressman. No suits have been made,
however, and the clerk of the court states
no person is authorized to give any in-
formation in regard to it. 1t is known,
however, that evidence in regard to these
parties was being taken by the grand jury.
The grand jury were lectured, this
morning, as to their duty Of secrecy, and
threatened with punishment by the judge
if discovered il disclosing their pro-
ceedings. This was, no doubt, called forth
by the fact that officers had been hunting for
the wives of George Q. Cannon, as wit
neSses, but found his residence locked and
every one absent. 1t is stated that George
has absented himself to escape the United
States marshal.

The scandal-mongers of Europe are rev.
cling secretly in what is said TO be a
capital sensation in high life, the parties at
variance being the Emperor and Empress OF
Austria Some weeks since the Empress
left Austria suddenly, and travelled without
intermission day or night till she reached
the Isle Of Wight. The Austrian papers
said she had left home under the advice of
her physicians, but her conduct in her new
home was so quiet and retired that
busybOdies began to ask questions. A
paragraph appeared in a London paper an
nouncing the departure Of the Emperor
of Austria, who intended 10
join his wife in the Isle Of Wight. In less
than two hours after receiving this infor-
nation, the Empress was steaming over to
Southampton, from which point she fed di-
rectly to London, intimating that, if fol-
lowed by herhusband, she would 90 further
North, to Scotland, thence to Norway. The
Emperor gave up chase at once. Their
marriage was 'loye-match, but the En-
peror suffers from mt t1er-in-law. Whether
thfSpIesent misunderstanding is due to this
lady's inluenee, or that of some other lady,
is what puzzles the scandal-mongerS.

IMPERIAL PALACE OF ULYSSES L,

If straws show which way the wind
blows, it is very evident that Mr.. Grant ex-
poets to occupy the Presidential Office for
another term. He has placed himself at
the head of powerful ring, the purpose OF
which is to induce Congress, at its hext ses-
sion, to authorize the erection ola new Ex-
ecutive mansion in the eastern part Of WASH
ington, Grant proposes 10 use the
old White House as a businaSs headquar-
tiers, and to use the new one only as the
Imperial Palace, where the family may pc
KEEP alo0f from the intrusion of visitors on
ofice-beggars. It would take tEo az three
years 20 complete the new palace, and, II
Grant doesn't expect TO be President 1t that
time, what purpose can he have In urging
the scheme so strongly?

about two hours and a half. The passage
of the Civil Rights bill would, he says,
work great evil and destroy the public
school system in the South. President
Grant, he would do him the justice to say,
had done his duty. He had no objection
to a third tenn per Sc. He saw no reason
why a President who executed the laws
faithfully, should not be elected for third
term, if tie people desired. He had looked
into the Louisiana question, and saw no
sense in abusing President Grant. He
spoke hopefully of the future of the repub-
lie; advised his hearers to obey the laws,
suppress lawlessness, and to be true 10 the
Constitution and the Union, as eStab-
lished by our fathers. He proclaimed him
self a Jeffersonian Democrat, and had
great faith N the triumph Of those prin-
ciples.

Nor often, IN these days, do we see
an executive officer voluntarily seeking
to divest himself Of patronage or other
means of currying favor. That the
charities of Nashville have often
been grossly prostituted to poht
ical and personal purposes, Is
well known of all. In. proposing to
turn over this department, however, to
the Robertson Association, our new
Mayor has also another object in view,
namely, to secure more time for the
proper duties of his Office. We do not
know of any body of men, to whom the
matter could be more safely entrusted
than the Society in question. The ar
rangement would rebound to
the benefit of the worthy
poor, ensuring more attention and dis
elimination in supplying their ecessi-
ties, as well as better protection against
frauds. There are some legal points
about this delegating of the city's
charities to an unofficial body, but we
hope the City Council will find the
proper method for accomplishing the
desirable objects of this movement.
