Show events connected with the administration b of justice in this territory have r rated great excitement not only here but n other persons of the territory the his y of theme thee proceedings have b been een detailed the columns of i m ome ime tu t time through the I 1 1 Is i brij and in the short r space pace that 3 allow d us we ire can only advert to them jude cradlebaugh in the exercise ot of his judg judgment elar saw fit to nake make a requisition L upon pon ti go eral johnston for some tire troops aps ops to guard and protect witnesses whose lives p isomers iso tsou ners ers had bad been threatened during the term ef ct his court at provo this requisition was promptly complied with the troops went to provo where they have been ever since it would ulal appear however that the ri right ol of ige ge cradlebaugh is ia doubted by gov cummin biting who has issued a solemn brote t against the presence pre of uw the troops upon th this we take issue with gov GOT camking Cam Curn ming and chink that he has overstepped over stepped the executive barrier and unjustifiably interfered with the judiciary a department of the government whose duties are well defined and which is as independent in its action as the executive branch it is a principle that cannot be gain gainsayer sayed that the judiciary in the exercise of cf its civil functions have a right to call upon the military when siben the ends of ji justice stice are attempted to be thwarted or the authority of the government is to be ba set at defiance judge cradlebaugh with a full knowledge of these facts has taken the responsibility to draw off a small email portion ot of the military force at camp floyd tor for the purposes mentioned in this we think he acted wisely and the history of his courts proceedings ce fully attest it not only had he a right as a federal judge to do this but these were tire instructions ben sent t to gen johnston which warranted his hia action well iveli as gen johnston himself this is 13 unquestionable what next why he be had exercised an undoubted right gov gor cumming issued his protest and by this oft od cial act on his part directly interfered with a co ordinate branch of 0 the Covern coi eminent mert the judiciary and that too when his official position gave him no BO right to interfere and come in contact with ith the orders of a united states judge the influence this carbat had upon the mormon people was to encourage them to resist the execution of the laws as they felt that they were backed by the executive of the territory we regret that gov goi cumming has placed himself in this attitude tor for we have a high per personal regard for him but his position is is totally untenable and 11 which ach we think he will find out not only at the bar of public opinion but to those in authority to whom nhom he is is responsible for his official soh action it is a matter of deep concern t that at there should be a rupture and one so important in in its bearing as this thia between the civil officers lethis of this territory but it has come and the question must anel and will be met and while the governor has we thinks thuinli very hastily and unwisely fallen into the mormon memorial trap set for him and so numerously bously as aa it is al ledged signed the jud ciary of both districts that have presided I 1 in I 1 this territory so far arwe area are able bleto to appreciate a principle or an ar argument uneit um eit have clean records want of space prevents us from pursuing this subject farther we shall resume it again from persons who have recently arrived from provo we glean the following items the judge adjourns his bis court from day to day and in the meantime is sitting as a committing magistrate the commar command III encamped on the provo ri river above the city have been moved down within three miles of provo so as to be ready for any emergency one night last week the sentinels on duty at the guard tents were stoned by parties foid bid behind the buildings if it is repeated we understand that orders have been given the senti to fire upon their assailants the people nople we farther learn in explanation of the matter say tb that at it was done by some unruly indian adian boys 10 lo the poor in ilan we love give up most moat of our oar colu columns Milos to the proceedings at provo they mey are not only ot of local interest here but bat will we are suro be read with interest by the people abroad we understand that a session of the pro bate court was held in cedar county at I 1 cedar fort A grand jury w was a a led and che court after bitting two or or three days adjourned without do doing li g am a ny we understand that there Is 13 a rumor pro ailing availing to some bome efte extent tin in camp that secretary hartnett had harbored the t two 0 men inen durfee and bartholomew is who ho were recently takes down to provo from this city this does mr great injustice justice ir the facts axe arc these asic men first applied at the store of ln lh ing ingston ston kinkead co for protection fearing as they said that the mormons cormons would take their lives in es mr kinkead referred them to th the a secretary who ho after hearing their story and believing them to be eu equally ally implicated inbuilt in in guilt placed them in III a room locked the door and aid placed a guard over them and immediately dispatched a messenger to U S marshal dotson at Provo isho it ap pears pe arshad had a N warrant arrant for these identical mend men ahe the marshal arrived armed next day da and took thein mem down and recent information says sas that they have probed ed most important witnesses so tar far therefore as mr hartnett having harbored them he actually the an and d thus facilitated the erds ends of justice we understand that a rumor armmor exists to a considerable extent in various parts of the territory that gov go cumming contemplated calling out the militia embracing the nauvoo lesion legion widely as we disagree tt ith his excellency in in his present policy yet we ive know inov that his large experience and good sense are in themselves a sufficient answer to such rumors the traveling is 13 the term the bre ethren have applied to the soldiers on duty at provo it male make a adif if of bit bitter terence encell what they call them so long as they perform a duty is mormon le legislation isla has failed to do and that is is to provide a place for the security of prisoners pl in fact tale take all the legislation bearing upon this subject into consideration the nonpayment non on payment of territorial officers and atwould almost appear that the authorities that govern this people desired to recognize and encourage crime cre rather than punish it and the proceedings in s at provo for the he last few ecks go far ar to cor confirm firm this opinion the last california mail came in more than sixty hours inside of schedule time it if it was n as not for the punctuality of this mail we ive do not know what we A bould do it wa was through this medium bringing us the california papers that vi we e obtain the latest news from the states
