GOVERNOR OF UTAH.

Hon. Geo. W. Emery, the newly appoin-
ted Governor Of Utah, is native of the
Old Bay State, is about thirty-eight years
of age, ard graduated at Dartmouth Col
lege, in lS60. At the incoming of the pre-
sent Administration, he became connected
with the Internal Revenue Service, as one
of its supervisors, and continued to act in
that capacity until year and a half since.
During his service, he resided in Nashville
Tennessee, and We believe is still resident
OF that city. The President has known him
long and intimately, and holds him in high
esteem. His immediate superior in office
the greater portion of the time, was Hon.
George $. Boutwell,, who was then Secre-
tary of TIE Treasury, and at present repre-
senting Massachusetts, in the United States
Senate. mother of Mr. Emery's cotempor-
aries in the Revenue service, was Hon. W.
W. Belknap, now Secretary of War. Mr..
Emery discharged the duties OF his Office
creditably to himself and to the country.

TwENrY-oNE YEARS OLD.

Yesterday Leavenworth was twenty-one
years old, and in honor of the event the old
settlers and their friends, met in Odd Eel
lows Hall, and passed pleasant evening
in listening to orations, poems and songs
all OF course relating to the early days Of
our young Commonwealth. A full report
Of the exercises will be found in our local
columns this morning. The only fault We
have to find with the programme was the
manifest inclination on the part of the man.
ayers to make the festival n reunion of all
the old pro-slaverymen, and to recognize
the leaders OF that party, as the spokesmen
for the pioneers
1t may suit the society very we'll, but,
when the people OF this State look over the
programme, and find only one or two
Abolitionists named, they will naturally be-
lieye that Leavenworth, the metropolis OF
a Republican State, is nothing more than
a rebel stronghold, and that on this JOYOUS
occasion, she forgets the brave champions
OF liberty and freedom, and remembers
only the men who endeavored to force
slavery upon our young and struggling
State

COTTON CROP RETURNS FOR JUNE.

The Department Of Agriculture is now
receiving the June returns Of cotton, which
will form the basis Of the estimates of area
of the present crop. During May prelimi-
nary returns were received from SIG cotton
counties. In sixty-three counties in Geor-
gia the area averaged the same as last year,
as also in the district represented in North
Carolina, Florida and Texas A reduction
OF one Ter cent. appears in thirty-nine coun-
ties in Alabama Of two per cent in eigh-
teen counties in South Carolina, and OF
three per cent. in thirty-eight counties in
Arkansas. The average reduction is eleven
per cent. in Louisiana and seventeen in
Tennessee, but as there are only twenty
counties represented in each, the full -
turns in June may make different show
ing.
The stand is reported good in majority
Of the returns from North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Texas; rather above the average in Ar
kansas and Tennessee, and scarcely an av-
erage in Louisiana. The condition is rep
resented being below the average in FIori-
da, Tennessee and Arkansas; slightly be-
low in Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas, and an average in Alabama and in
the Carolinas.

WHAT A KANSAS EDITOR SUFFERED

Sunday morning We published an article
from the Burlingame Chronicle headed A
Soldiers Experience" We neglected to
mention at the time that the name OF the
editor Of the Chronicle is W. l.. Chalfant 1t
is but due TO him a. Kansas journalist
that more than brief notice should he
made OF the suiierings he has heroically en-
dured in the sacred cause OF freedom. He
belonged TO a Pennsylvania regiment, and,
as the article says, was severely, and it was
thought by all the surgeons fatally, wound
ed, at Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 1868
while charging on the encmy's battery. His
sufierincs were most intense, and lac has not
Yet fully recovered from the effects of the
wound
The case is not parallel one to Col. An
thony's, the patient being wounded in a
different place, and undoubtedly suffered
more pain than the Colonel does.
Mr.. Chalfant came to Kansas about three
years ago, and purchased the Chronicle
from Mr. Mnrlock. lie said at the time
that he came to this State expecting TO die,
but since then has wonderfully recovered
and now passes with everybody for a well
man. We hope that his health will con.
time to improve, and that he and his spicy
paper will long remain in Kansas

the necessary escort, transportation, and
also working parties to cut and prepare the
poles, dig holes, etc, hone Of which
duties require especially skilled labor.
TIE reconnaissance being completed, work
will be commenced upon the line by sec
tions, as rapidly Is practicable.
One of the novel features OF the work Is
that it will be conducted entirely By enlist
ed men, having practical knowledge OF the
working and construction Of telegraph lines.
The mission is an important,-almOst an
untried one it remains TO be seen whether
our soldiery can efficiently perform, in
times OF peace, duties having for their o.
iect the interests oil citizen communities.
Owing to the scarcity OF fuel, it is appre-
hended that the polls may be pilfered or
cut down by Mexicans. Tosuch, We would
commend I,erusal of the act "to protect
lines of telegraph constructed or used by
the United States from malicious injury
and obstruction" approved June %, 1874.
No portionci the appropriation for the
support Of the army can be more directly
and satisfactorily expended in the interests
Of the people than those indicated.
As a measure OF economy, it is evident
that line worked by the Government can
afford to transmit. electric messages at 8
lower rate than one run in the interests OF
an incorporated company, or other private
associations.
Unlike the lines OF railroad now eating
their WAYS into, or already traversing, the
western portion Of the United States, nc
land grant, or other subsidy, is given IL
these pioneers in Geographic construction
Its importance to Kansas development
can scarcely be over-estimated, and we hops
that our brethren OF the press, both on th'
Pacilicoast and elsewhere, will take cogni
zance of this subject, and, by encouraging
words,will help on this commendable enter
prise. Kansas people, especially,will take al
interest in the construction of this telegraph
line, because the emigration from this Stat,
TO California within the last year has beer
so great, and, at present, there is no direc
telegraphic communication between Leav
enworth and the Pacific coast.

Kansas. He chose the latter alternative,
and with his wife and children left the city
without a cent He went TO St. Louis,
and would probably have starved, If some
friend had not loaned him few dollars.
In the course OF time he returned, and one
day, when on a trip TO Lawrence, he was
met by a gang Of twenty or thirty men,
who gagged him, and would have muir
dered him, had he not, by means OF
strategy, secured his release He says that
times have changed materially, since then,
but he never will forget the days when he
fought, and would have died for freedom.

re INDEPENDENTS ARE DISGUISED

The independent voters OF this country
are fast allying thernselyes with one or the
Eother OF the political parties. The issue in
{1s76 viii be between Democracy and Re-
kpublicanism. The Liberals are beginning
10 learn that the Democrats do not care for
ffhem, except at the polls, and that when an
election is over the Democrats divide the
s. Gpoils and leave their former friends cut in
{the cold. This being the case, it will be
seen that the Independents have gained
nothing by uniting themselves to the Dem
enocrats, and that they will soon return to
4 the old party of freedom.
Wm. NJ Grosvenor, a Missouri politician,
/ and prominent advocate OF a third party,

day one cannot find an independent voter
who has not set purpose to overthrow the
Democratic party. In Illinois, men
whose. names are known everywhere

says that probably no one act Of the Demo,
cratic party has done so much to ALLEVIATE
conservatiye voters, as the refusal OF Col
Britton, mayor OF St. Louis, 10 allow the
ballots, in the contest between Britton and
Oyerstolz, to be recouLtei. On frivolou.
technicality, Democratic Judge issued an
injunction prohibiting a count, and Dem,
ocratic court conceded, saying that the
boxes could not be opened until November
next. "Of the legal character Of this de,
cision," says Mr.. GrosvenOr, ''it is enough ID
say that by Independents and by some
Democratic lawyers and members of the
council, it is denounced a Infamous" Tn,

TIE TROUBLES OF IN OLD SETTLER

Yesterday, Leavenworth being of age,
many old citizens who formerly resided
here, came to the metropolis to attend the
Pioneer festival. Among those who called
at The TINES office was Mr.. J. A. Davies,
who is now living at Wyandotte. In the
course Of conversation he related some of
hisexperiences in this neighborhood in early
days, which were very interesting. At that
time he was employed in the erection of
the Catholic Church, VIXEN one
day band of border ruffans
called on him, and the leader, Fred. Emo
rydemanded that Mr.. Davies either Join the
slave party, or hid IN immediate alden 10

The long strike ia ended Tn,

The long strike is ended. The miners OF
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company
made an unconditional surrender
through their delegates last night, at a
meeting with Mr.. Parish. A dozen or more
meetings were held yesterday, at different
Places. At Ashley delegation Of seventy
German miners went to a meeting for the
purpose OF voting Tor resumption. Their
object became known TO the leaders, and
they were excluded from the meeting. They
then held a meeting OF their own, and de-
cided to he governed no longer by the As.
ISOLATION. At another meeting the Irish
and Welsh disagreed, and the former with
drew. At other meetings there was also a
lack OF harmony, and during the course Of
the day there was general disagreement
as to future action. The most OF the mi
ners were in favor OF going to work, but the
leaders fought hard against it.
The sentiment was too strong
for them longer to control, and part yielded
In the evening region meeting was held,
and the delegates then went to Mr.. Parish,
with whom long and harmonious CON
versatiOn took place, which ended in an
agreement to 90 to work upon the compa-
ny's terms. No concessions whatever were
made BY the company. Thee men stated
that they had made mistake in holding
out so long or in striking at all, and were now
in want Of the necessaries OF life, and eager
to have work Immediately. This company
employs about 10000 men, and all Of their
works will be started "a soon a. possible
The miners OF individual operators will
follow the men OF this company, and there
will be general resumption in the Wyo-
ming region.

ceived from the northern section OF this
State say that number OF the collieries
resumed work this morning, and among
them several of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron Co.'S mines. Several
mines in the vicinity of Shenandoah are
working full forces and it was necessary to
turn a number Of men away who applied
for work.

divided the criminals into three glasses.

| IN nature and religion, II was this, that ey
ery violation Of law was followed by pun
ishing consequences. The jury had nothing
| 10 do with all these outside influences, hui
\ were to decide the case according to theil
oaths, and upon the evidence. Mr.. Beechel
evidently regarded Mrs. Tilton az a reli
giOus enthusiast, and he had reason to be-
l;eve her 90.
Mr.. Tilton took the view that the idolatry
, Of Beecher, to which this enthusiasm led
Lc.. involved on her part the belief that
what he taught her could hot be wrong. He
Mr BAach) did not understand this idea
loosing q; i: like a man Of ordinary com
mon sense, but both Beecher and TiltOr
knew Mrs Tilton better than he did, and
understood her religious temperament. The
question al issre in this case was, whether
the influence OF this great church and lis
| minister would overcome truth AMI the Is
sues of Justice on behalf OF Henry Ward
Beecher. IN appeal was made to oui
sympsthies ard judgment, and it was hard
to Judge such 4 man; it was hard to con.
denim such a man; tut the question i
whether law and iGs;ice shall prevail
over the influence Of Henry Ward Beecher
and his supporters.
MI. Beecner tOld reporter to-day tnat
he was enierely ignorant OF such things a.
were related in the New York Herald.
They never occurred in his experience, a,
all, and, so far a. the article referred to
him, it was already denied by his oath, and
was wholly untrue. The present. propri.
etors of the drug store where Mr.. Beecher
is said to have purchased the poisons, say
the story is highly improbable and don't
believe druggist in the world
would sell prussic acid to any person with.
ont prescription from reliable physi
clan.
A dispatch from Whi.estone, La, saw,
that Mr.. Leach, the druggist vino sold the
poison, does not now believe that Beecher
made any explanation why he wanted the
acid, or that he made any inquiry what ef.
feet it would have. He did moi
think it strange that clergy
man should want an ounce
Of deadly poison. The page on the ledger
is all one handwriting, very fresh and clea,
looking. Along with the sale of the acid

New York, April 13.-Advices from
South America by steamer, to-day,
from Aspinwall, state that the Jesuit
College, in Buenos Ayres, has been
completely burned, and that some of
the ringleaders in the riot have been
arrested. Three priests are known to
have died. The Archbishop has re-
turned to the city, and the newspapers
unanimously recommend him to re-
sign. The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
in circulars addressed to the legations
abroad, says the mob was headed by
Spanish priests. The number of killed
does not exceed four; no priest being
among them; there are, however,
some priests wounded.
A driving snow has prevailed here
all day, and continues this evening
Dispatches from the interior of the
State and the eastern portions of
Pennsylvania, say that snow has fallen
to the depth of from five to nine
inches. The storm extended to BaltI-
more and Washington.
The Tribune says it is probable that
no objection will be made to the recep-
ton of Mrs. Tilton's testimony, which
the defense will probably offer next
week. Morris, of counsel for Tilton,
stated yesterday that the plaintiffs
counsel would not object to the recep-
ton of her testimony, and Judge
Nelson has already indicated mis- will
lingness to admit it if both sides agree.
Beecher's examination will certainly
close this week if not on Thursday,
and either Cleveland or Mrs. Tilton
will then be placed on the stand.

favorably inclined to the disposing
of the country lying between the two
Cheyenne rivers, for good round
consideration. In the event of its
purchase, the head warriors will in
sist that the reservation be removed
to the head of Tongue River, at the
base of the Big Horn Mountains.
The Indians are exceedingly anxious
that large number of their head
chiefs and warriors should go to
Washington and see the President,
and are pleased that the agent has
been ordered to take them to Wash
ington.
