where it was thought that the change to quite

THE RUMORS.

The City Council have brought their
investigation into the rumors which were
afloat the past few days to close. Some
OF the reports which gained currency and
credence were OF most wild and inn
probable nature, although we have good
reason for believing that some of them,
and these the most absurd. too, were
believed at first by some OF the Council
who were most prominent in the inyesti-
CATION. The resolution which was adopted
does not carry the weight it should; and
While 1t does not contain anything actu-
ally false, it ignores many facts and does
not state the actual situation. Whether
the Federal officials circulated the rumors
falsely and for pernicious purpose, as
intimated in the resolution, and as Coun-
cillor Junius f. Wells desired to specifi-
cally say in the resolution, we do not
know. An undue credence NAV have
been given to these various rumors
by some OF the Federal officials, but
certain it is that they erred no more as to
the true condition OF affairs than the City
Council have in the resolutions adopted
by them. 1t is possible that the CITY
Council do not think there is any excite
ment at all in Utah, but OF the pure and
peaceful state of mind which can induce
such thoughts, we know nothing. One
good will come out OF all these rumors
and their investigation: it will help to
bring the people here to realization OF the
condition OF affairs in Utah and perhaps
make them pause and think about where
dneir cousre Of lawlessness is leading them.
The holding in readiness of some thou
sands OF troops TO send to Utah in case of
any emergency, together with the sending
OF battery, will serve as an object lesson
to the people OF Utah to remind them
that Utah is in the United States and not
the United States in Utah. This fact has
been largely overlooked.
