DAY DISPATCHES.

kHARTOUM, March lO.-General
Gordon advises the appointment of
Zobehr Pasha to succeed himself as
governor of Soudan. He thinks
Zobehrif adequately supported would
dispose of MAhdi within a year. He
strongly denounces the proposed
British expedition to reconquer Sou
dan and expresses deep anxiety about
the situation at Khartoum. Unless
the British act promptly in regard to
Z 'behr's app ointment, the victory OF
Graham, will, he thinks, have been

mittee o territories. He complained
bitterly at the conduct OF the present

but to bring about conflicts between.
the people there in order to plund-r
them. A majority of the people in
the territory who we're not MormOns,
he said, had no i'll feeling against
those who were. 1t was only a ring

Murray, who had a feeling against
the Mormons. They desired confu-

everything to gam and nothing to
lose.
