have been notified of the action taken,
while disavowing all unfriendly feeling
and desiring a continuation of amicable
relations. It is not believed that any
allusion was made to the alleged fill
clustering movement sitters, at the sew
eral conferences had by General Ord
with prominent officials. or az the Cabi-
net meeting which specially considered
Mexican affairs.
From late developments it would ap-
pear that we are largely indebted to the
imagination of New York Herald cor
respondents for the late Norman sensa-
ton, they having been sent to Utah
with instruction to supply the Herald
readers with accounts of threatened
rebellion. One of them was so faithful
to orders as to report his own valuable
life in imminent peril. 1t seems that
the canard sent from this city relative
to the formation of a Blaine party was
so attenuated as to find very few sufficient
ly credulous to swallow it; and the SEN
sation statement of the National Repub-
Hcan, to the effect that vast numbers of
of the most prominent citizens and po-
litical workers of the country had SO
far completed arrangements for organ
izing a third or administration party,
that its success was almost an assured
consummatlon seems to have elicted lit
tie else than ridicule and derision. In
this mornings issue it performs the
gastronomic feat of swallowing itself and
devotes quite lengthy editorial show
ing the character of such an undertake
ing. Three or four days ago it spoke
of it in tones of cautions approval.
The reported request of the British
Government for an investigation of the
circumstances of the death of McClellend
a victim Of the De Kalb butchery, who
has been ascertained to have been q
British subject. reduces the Govern,
ment to the unpleasant and altogether
humiliating necessity of confessing its
lack of authority in the premises and
the evident Indifference of the State
officials to it and their Discrimination tt
permit any investigation The failure
of the jury to agree in the Ellenten rio
cases, Just tried in Charleston befor
Justices Wait and Bond disappoints N
one here; and it is accepted here as
notification to all concerned that n
bull-dozer, however black his crime
against his Republican fellow-citizel
need apprehend any trouble from tn
courts in States under Democratic con
troll. There appears only two alterna
tives either to leave the South, or stiff
their convictions and become Demo
Gratis.
The cases of two post-masters recent
appointed in Louisiana is very signifcar
of the reign of terror in that bulldoze
State. One Of them declines to acceI
the office because that assured from til
open threats of assassination that his lii
would pay the forfeit in case he pr,

The other has been notified thrt
times of his appointment by mail an
his commission as often forwarded
him, which has been returned each TIN

office it has been sent. 1t is report,
that the Government has decided
