Show Governor Shaffer, of Utah, has got into a controversy with Gen. De Tro-briand, Tro-briand, who commands the United States forces in that Territory. Shaffer charges the General with neglecting to investigate certain outrages recently committed at Provo by the loldiors under un-der his command. The merits of this particular controversy we are not informed in-formed of; but we should bo slow to believe that Gen. Do Trobriarid has been in any way remiss in the performance per-formance of his duty. Besides, he has no business in Utah but to attend to the soldiers under his command, while Shaffer is believed to be theru not merely to act as Governor, but to speculate spec-ulate in silver mines and whatever else may turn li.i. llu is understood to have been nppointed on the sp'.cial recommendation of Gen. B. V. Butler, with whom he served asChicf (uarlcr-niastcr (uarlcr-niastcr during the war. Such an appointment ap-pointment naturally subjei'ls him to suspicion, and inclines intelligent people peo-ple to take the opposite side in any controversy to which lie may be a party. A . ,S'. |
