The managers OF the French Expo
sitIon OF 1878 have Informed our Gov
eminent that il the United States par
ticipaies in that exhibition, it will be
necessary tn take immediate steps for
represe NATION in the American Sec
ton. The Ca binet has the matter un-
der consideration, and will probably
decide this week as to what action
shall be taken by our Government.
Evarts' position is understood to be
that an American commission should
be appointed Professionally, upon the
understanding that the commission
shall not have any compensation, UNI
less Congress shall ratify their ap-
pointment. Upon careful inquiry TIC
constitutional impeachment to such a
course can DO found, and in the case
of the Vienna Exposition the invita-
ton to participate in it was accepted
by the Department of State before &C
ton was taken by Congress. The Sec
rotary of State has been notified
through our Secretary of Legation at
Paris, that the space reserved for the
United States is still available. The
minimum expense supposed to be
nescessary is $500 900.

fore a board of officers on whose re-
port the appointment will be made.
This has never been done before.

The Tr1bune's Salt Lake correspond
nt. speaking of military organization
in Utah, says: Il don't think there
has ever been any general attempt to
revive the organization, nor is there
now. In some localities, far north and
south, the local officers called their
men together for drill, but here at Salt
Lake and about here there is nothing
Of the kind. The young people may
meet, from time to time. in some hall or
other place, for drill, but It'll, not worth
mentioning. Still, undoubtedly, since
Lees execution, there is an uneasy
feeling among the Mormons, and this
in turn has caused excitement among
the Gentiles. On one side it is believed
that Brigham Young. in some way or
other, is to be brought to the same pass
that Lee was, aud on the other that the
Morrnons are determined to resist by
force of arms the first symptoms of
legal proceedings against him. There
is really no extraordinary danger of
violence or tumult of any kind in
Utah at this time. People DESTROYS of
visiting the Territory for business or
pleasure may depend upon it that there
will be no conflict between America
and Asia in Utah. A kind of dumb
war goes on, and will go on, until Asia
is beaten, but / have been here several
years. and l think l have seen times
when danger of a violent outbreak was
ten fold greater than now, and still it
did not occur"
