details OF the trip, as he could fndz
opportunities at the points where the.
vessel stopped. From Fort Monroe q
good dispatch was sent. From Della
ware Breakwater another good account
was sent to the Herald. Unfortunately
the able editor thought he wanted
more. He sent telegram directed to
THE New York Herald correspondent
on board United States steamer
SWotGra." This, of course, was de-
livered to the commanding officer.
Captain MCGOWAN, who opened it and
Immediately began to enquire "who is
the correspondent of the New York
Herald on board my ship?" By energetic
questioning he forced q confession from
the culprit and there were threats of
arrest and court martial. Finally the
air was cooled by a special order, for
bidding anyone on board the ship send
ing any communication to any person
in regard to the trip without submitting
it to the commanding officer. SO the
Herald was left without news until
General Sheridan landed at Nonquitt,
except such as has been sifted through
Captain MCGOWAN.
A SUGGESTION.
One OF the most prominent Democra-
tic Senators, q man with 8 more than
national reputation, was chatting with q

he made is worth repeating.

UTAH's NEW JUDGES.
The President has named Utah's
Chief Justice and his associate, and
everywhere there seems to be satisfac-
ton with the nominations. Chief JUS

the New York bar, having practiced be-

and they unite in saying that a better
appointment could not easily have been
made. Associate Justice Judd has the
respect Of the Tennesseans at the ma
tlonaI capital. They compliment his
ability and his great common sense
without stint. Both OF the Justices will,
when they 60 to Utah, be accompanied
by their families, and both have signi-
fed their intentions to remain all their
lives. or IS much thereof as possible,
