back again; there was a nervousness
and haste about all their actions that
had not previously characterized their
movements. Soon it became known that
oyertures had been made, whereby the
signing of the reform school and agri-
cultural college bills would be signed by
the Governor, and the bonding bill, the
enacting clause of which had been
stricken out so unceremoniously by the
Council, would probably be taken up
and passed. There were rumors. too,
that the Assembly would recede from
its action. and allow the executive to
name the boards of directors of the COL
lege and school. This, however, was
hardly to be expected by those who
knew of the adoption in the Council by
Mr.. Bryan, of the following resolution:
NO ACTION NECESSARY.
Whereas, His Excellency, the Cover
nor, has by his message to the Council,
nominated Arthur Pratt to be Auditor
of Public Accounts, Bolivar Roberts to
be Territorial Treasurer, Arthur Pratt
to be Recorder of Marks and Brands,
II. L. A. Gunner to be Territorial
Librarian. and Christopher Diehl to be
Sesler of Weights and Measures; and,
Whereas. The said offices of Auditor
of Public Accounts and Territorial
Treasurer are by the laws OF Utah made
elective by the qualified electors of said
Territory, and the other Offices above
named by the Joint vote OF the Legls-
lative Assem- oily; and.
Whereas, There are now suits pending
in the Supreme Court OF the United
which involve the validity of the laws
of the Territory making the officers
above-named elective; and,
Whereas, Said laws have been dissp-
proved by the Congress of the United
States; and,
WhereaS, Said Offices are now filed in
pursuance of said laws; and,
Whereas, No vacancies exist in said
offices; now, therefore, be it
Res0(Ued, That it is the sense OF this
Council that no action is necessary on
the nominations made by His Excel
lencv, the Governor.

ASSUMING SHAPE.
At about p. m, however, matters
began to assume shape by the going
into caucus of the Peoples members.

verybody, the Liberal members Dr. ing
requested to Withdraw. Professor
White, OF the Deaf Mute Institute, was
unceremOniously hustled out-a pro-
ceeding which he seemed to look upon
as huge joke.
There was a long and stubbornly
fought contest behind the bolted doors,
az hor q
was learned by close vote, it had been
decided to pass the bonding bill, the
reform school bill, and the bill estab.
fishing the agricultural college measure,
it being understood that the Governor
had consented for the Legislature to

and the assessors of Cache, Davis, Utah,
Salt Lake and Sanpe te; and in the ag-
riculturai college, the Governor, the
Secretary of the Territory. and the
prosecuting attorneys of Salt Lake,
Box Elder, Utah, Weber and Davis.

it had been resurrecred by the Co1n-
