Show THE GOVERNOR OP UTAH. The Ilou. (ieorceL. Woods U Governor Gov-ernor of Utuh. The Hon. George L. 'oods was ouce the Governor ol' Ore-goD. Ore-goD. In this capacity Senator Stewart Stew-art seems to have known him in the chameleon character of a superficial politician, and this ia what he doubtless doubt-less is. The Honorable George L. Woods is a modest person. It is mod-eMy mod-eMy that causes him to surrender to Judge McKean, to whom he is said to bear about the Fame relation that a fireman on a locomitive does to the engineer. en-gineer. He Ls Judge McKean's stoker. The Utah Governor has little to do in that capacity. The people ol that Territory are so habitually orderly, or-derly, peaceful and law abiding, that the Executive prerogatives are seldom or never exercised, save to aid the Federal exotics who dwell there to carry out some scheme of pecula tion, iu tho absence of which ilieir occupation would be pone. 1 Hence it happens that the Governor seeks relief from loyal cimu by writine long editorials for the Reciao, for which we recently predicted a short and happy life. One of these loquacious loqua-cious lucubrations is pow Adore us, in which wc are told, with a trcmeudou;-flourish trcmeudou;-flourish of editorial trumpets, a good deal about "'croakers," who are implored im-plored to be "patient" until they shall see the early coming of that kind of salvation with which the ''unyielding ''unyield-ing pluck of the Federal officials" will soon cram them. "To be plain," adds the Utah Governor, Gov-ernor, "we need no help from the outside out-side world." His Excellency will pardon us. The invitation is respectfully declined. The Federal officials of Utah, notwithstanding notwith-standing their "unyielding pluck," are still nut able to cope with that terrible problem single-handed. The late so-called so-called election shows this. They may dispense with the aid of Henry Ward Beeehcr and Horace Greeley, but they cannot well get on without occasional boosts from the Omaha Herald, which takes as naturally to the side of the weak as ducks do to water. The Gev-ernor Gev-ernor is assured th:it it is our present intention to help him out of tbe wilderness wil-derness in which ho appears to be hunting his way to the United States Senate, much after the manner of a blind hog in a frost-bitten potato patch, by all the means in our power.
