Ft s Gus Sprouse for the murder tjf Martin, at Uintah, concluded laat night, by the Jury rendering a verdict of murder in the second degree, after four hour's deliberation. Chief Justice Wilson sentenced him to fifteen years in the penitentiary. That is not much if he becomes the object of Executive clemency in a few months, as has pretty eften been the case. When the threats that Sprouse made at Uintah, before ho killed Martin, are considered, to tho effect that he would kill his man before he left there, his present sentence and the finding of the jury are milder than he had any right to hope for. "ilis "Counsel gave the usual notice, a motion for a new trial, but on thinking it over, concluded to withdraw tho notice, believing, probably, it might not go any better, if as well, with his client on a rehearing. The news of tho pausago through the Ilouse of Representatives of Cullom's precious piece of proscriptive legislation, was received here with varied feelings. Some pious souls that don't like mar riage where it interferes with secret and illegitimate criminality, wore loo'ks of happiness for a few hours, which were somewhat shaded when it became known that five important sections had been struck out. How they would have felt if Fitch's motion to extend the application of the Act over all tho States and Territories had prevailed, it is impossible to say. There is little doubt they would have kept silence about having the law enforced, for it would have borne as heavy on adulterers as on It is to be hoped Mr. Fitch will make a stay of a few days in Utah on returning to his constituents when Congress adjourns. I can promise him a hearty welcome from more than one virtuous wife and mother, whether the "big miner" should accom pany him or not. Dr. Taggart, vory'foolinhly for him self, denied in a letter to the Xeu-- that he hail detracted the story of the at tempted assasination, and intimated in a ron8-aboway that he had had a private quarrel with the bull "purp," but hinted that he would catch him and settle tho Snatter with him. The poor "purp" heard that sUch a threat was made, and suddenly disappeared, it is said; though for the truth of that I cannot vouch. He vas snarling around the street for jycral hours ouo day, ami has not been seen on it since. This thing of diking dogs to despera tion and suicide by ambiguous throats surely will not be permitted to continue. Some moans must be adopted to clear the moral atmosphere of such vindictive clouds, or no "purpV character will be safe from aspersion. Mail mutters are improving, and to have them thoroughly high-tonepunctual and fully up to tho mark, every postmaster with more than a solitary, single wife is to be relieved from the cares of office. It was not to be supposed that these men could bestow proper attention to their domestic affairs, and run the mails on the trains and by stages and every other way they had to be carried; so you mny look for continu ous changes. The weather is fine and Spring work is being pushed on with vigor. warm-hearte- d, s ut d, v. Information Wanted.

When last heard from BY TELEGBAPIL AMERICAN - New YoTfc. , '' The'mrmerous stores to tent on Bread-wa- y and in other desirable locations fn, the city, are an evidence f the getieral depression in trade.

Washington 22. Aftef the presentation of some petitions, the Hourfe proceeded to the consideration of tho Utah polygamy bill, as the special order. Ward, from New fork, supported the bill. Schenck was as desirous as any man to put an end to that impure, offensive and criminal condition of things now existing in Utah, but he was not sure but that some further 'act of legislation might be needed. There was too much in the bill before the nbuse; and he was inclined to believe the advance of railroad, telegraphs and tike progress of the tide of emigration would be more effectual than all the enactments of Congress to aeodmplish this object. In "view ef all these events, it would to necessary to prune the bill of somfe of tho provisions for test oaths, confiscation and war. He said there were a number of subjects of general interest from the committee of ways and means, which the House ought to be oonsidcring, so as to seftd at least one of them to the Senrite, and he felt it his duty, in order to get rid of this bill for the present, to mote its postponement. Butler, from Massachusetts, hoped the subject would be finally disposed of without further postponement. If it wero now laid aside, the fact would be taken in Utah as an evidence that the Governor recently snt there by the President would not be sustained in his endeavor t enforca the laws of the United States. If Congress was ever going to deal with the questioa of polygamy in Utah, it should do so at once, lit people was thought the sentiment enlisted in favor of this measure more than any other before the House ; therefore, he suggested that the discussion go on with short speeches-The bill would y be voted on and or sent to the Senate. Sehenci tawed a postponement of three weeks.Johnson moved to lay the bill on the table.

After a debate by Sargent, Ward and Ax tell, Schenck moved to recommit tho bill, as containing provisions inimical to every principles of common law and sections under which war might be made. Walker moved to strike out sections II, 14, 30, 81 and 82. Cullora opposed its recommittal and avowed a desire to strike out tho eleventh and amend .the fifteenth section. Schcnck's motion was rejected, 75 to 89, as was also the amendments by Fitch, to ext end the provisions of the bill to all tho Statei and Territories where bigamy, polygamy or concubinage is practisu. Walker's motion was adopted and section eleven, making the lawful wife of the accused a competent witness against him, and the fourteenth, providing that the statute of limitation shall be no iar to a prosecution, the thirtieth authorizing the confiscation of the property of persons convicted, and the thirty-firs- t, for the temporary relief nf "persons reduced to destitution by the enforcement of the act and the thirty-seconnuthorizing the employment of 40,000 volunteers, .were all stricken out and the bill passed, 01 to 32j without yeas and nays.
