Br reference to our teleeraphio col trans, it will bo seen that General Silas of Nebraska, has been A. Strickland nominated as Governor of Utah. This It the candidate ironically suggested and arcastioally sustained by the Omaha Herald as a fit and proper person The Herald Executive. our for would Strickland be prophesied the man when the scramble for the office commenced, immediately after the death of Gov.

But the sagacious and witty Dr. had better not begin to boast of the fulfilment of his sage predictions. nor of the- - influence- of the Democratio lltrald over a Radical Administration, until the action of Congress on the nom Ination. Silas is not confirmed yet, and tkere are several needy aspirants pull ing wires at Washington, who to gain their point will move earth and h : well, they have no part nor lot in the land above and the place beneath moves with them. The Herald had better wait awhile before tuking the credit. . Moving The Capital of I tali. A determined effort is to be made In Congress during the present session to transfer the Capital of Utah to that de lettable burgh, en the banks of Bear ailed Corinne. We believe this is the ftrst timo that we have permitted the same of the disreputable little hole to appear in the columns of the Junction. and we should not do so now, but for he fact that the attempt above mention-a- d Is about to be made in earnest. To most of our readors this will sound like a very small jok, but that portion of our present population, who seem to have looated here for the express purpose of Stirring up strife, in. this thing mean mischief. If Congress were eomposed of patriots the sole object of whose legislation was their country's good, such an effort might be treated by the Utonians with silent contempt. But uufortuoate-i if money anu measures eyre closely related in Washington,, and legal tenders have a powerful effeet upon the passage of laws. Trickery and lobbying have before now elbowed jusdeo and public welfare into the street and wiggled infamous schemes through both Houses. In view of this it becomes the decent and respectable citiaens of Utah, of all parties and creeds to unite in taking the proper stops todefcat this plot to outrage and insult the people of thu Terri' tory. The very name of the place to- - which It is proposed to remove the capital has . Veooms a synonym-- for blackguardism i and corruption, and yrntlmcn whose bu- siness has taken them- there, hesitate to of having topped at the only spot speak f In the Territory where the coarser and fouler vices of modern civilization can find room to flirunt their hideous and shameless forms. Remove the seat of government from eur beautiful city of fruits and flowers, and order and peace to such a bald and irty waste in the wilderness! Pshaw! As well move the capital of the nation to the- k'ive Points of New York or the dirty slums of Chicaco. - - ., . District Court at Provo. By communication from Trovo we learn that the U. & Court for the first judicial district was opened at that place on the 11th inst., Hon. 0. F. Strickland , Several aliens were admitted t n Kuivug mem on man wno to two acknowledged wives, but having hud married them before the passing of Uio Act of '62. The grand jury were charged by the judge to investigate matters wherein the laws of the U. S. had. been violated. On the 12th inst, Judge Strickland injtruirted tho grand jury specially in regard to tho violation of tho act, requesting thorn to take time in the, deliberations. Tho case of St. Lcger and McKay for the until robbery south was brought up and continued till the next duy at 10 a.m. Tha peoplo of Ogdcn are now particu-lArt- y interested in this case, as the reward of l,Ooa offered for McKay's should fall into the hands of our local officers. It will be remembered that McKay made his escape from Camp Douglass with other prisoners, and was captured at Ogdeti wear the depot. Tho information of thoir actual whereabouts urns conveyed to Marshal Fife of this city, who had been on tho lookout far tlieiu, by Mr Campbell, agent of the C. P. It U.

A v A I i ftti . 1 i "'ivuf, 1 auti-polyga- ment some time ago. The Count says he was one of a committee of five who pledgod themselves to use their utmost energies in tracing the assassin until he should be brought to justice, but all the others weakened on their pledge when they had to pay their own expenses, and got tired of the busi ness; but he has worked at it unwearied ly until now, when he claims that hig efforts have been crowned with com plete success. His chief information has been obtained from a convicted fel on now in prison, who though he had no hand in the murder, yet had been ac quainted for years with the man who is said to have committed the crime, and from interviews with the accused man whom Johannes has tracked and who is also in prison for other offences. The Count presents a long argument in the columns of the Sun on the subject and wishes to bring the Becretly acensed man to trial. From the New York ITerald it appears that the Count has been engaged in a similar business before, having cansed the arrest of an innocent man as the murderer of the Bank officer in the fa mous jviaiaen isanic morucr case, rue person so accused by this amateur detective was honorably discharged at his examination, and carried by the people in triumph from the Court room, while vengeance was threatened against the accuser, who narrowly escaped being clothed in that uncomfortable garment, a coat of tar and feathers. The real murderer afterwards confessed and the Count was proved to be in the wrong. After this statement we should think the New York authorities will be apt to go slow and be exceedingly cautious what they do on the statements of such a queer genius as George, Count J oh an nes. A. Good Work. We have received the January number of the Phrenological Journal, a most ex cellont work, containing upwards of eighty pages of good, solid reading matter, on a variety of subjects, biographical, historical, ethnological, sci entific, moral, etc. Eight and a half of the January number are depages voted to an article on "The Mormons; Who and What They Are." The spirit in which the article is written may be judged by the following extract from the opening paragraph: The time will come when thinking men generally, especially legislators and ministers of the Goxpei, will, like the tocial philosopher, look upon all the great manifestations of society as se many sociological problems, and not as weeds to be rooted up ank kicked about. Indeed, this rooting up and kicking about is not wise, for even in the case of the weeds, should they be in seed, the seeds will scatter and they in turn will Ana spring up everywhere around. thus wit a the Mormons; ir they are weeds, the rooting up and the kicking about have multiplied them. They once covered a village; they now cover a Territory. The principal elements composing Mormen society are reviewed, in which many facts are truly set forth, but the whole is tinged with a color derived from the author's peculiar ideas, and we think that through the style of the composition we can discern the large head, s mull frame, hesitating speech, and manner of a certain schismatic, whose turning away from the faith is attributed by his old acquaintances more to an head than a wicked and corrupt heart. The outline he gives of "The Mormon Faith" is free from misrepresentation and is a pretty good synopsis of its leading tenets. In regard to Polygamy, he considers it "not a result of society, but a return to patriarchal days and institutions by the means extraordinary of a new dispensation." He says the Mormons accepted Polygamy because they believed it to be a divinj law: Tbey deemed the Old Scriptures es pecially polygamic in their sanctions, aud the practice of the ancients they believed was enjoined upon them by a new revelation. Lust was not the inducement. The faith that they were called to bo a peculiar peoplo, to "raise up a righteous ieed to the Lord," had the weight in their minds, and not the do- sire to multiply wives. There is therefore a certain religious purity connected with marriage among the Mormons and their associations of the sexes which would be more intelligi ble to our Puritanic anoestors than this economy of modern America, for the Puritans had also very much of the patriarchal idea of "raising up righteous seed". Even physiologically considered, the idea is goott and natural to the race, and tho departure from it a great social and sexual perversion; but Mormon polygamy snot required to keep tlieje ofott- spring in society. As regards offspring, it may be said that the Mormon children are not physically degenerated through polygamy, and doubtless this is to be explained by the fact the associations of the sexes are mnrriago-without-ofl'spri- friends everywhere.

The great Congressional sensation of the Session is the San Domingo annexation scheme. The debates on this little job, in which President Grant is particularly interested, have been of the liveliest kind, provoking many bitter personalities and invectives and bringing seores of the Republican party into a voting union with the Democrats. It is well known that President Grant had set his heart on the annexation of San Domingo to the V. S. But the public reasons set forth in his message te Congress were stated by those who move behind the scenes and see more than meets the public eye, not to be so powerful as the private reasons in the bosom of the nation's Chief. The following clipping from the Cincinnati Commercial may serve to throw some light on the Ridden motives which led to the scheme, and on the determined opposition used against it by some of tue strongest supporters of Grant's general policy. Yesterday afternoon one of our reporters met and had an interview with a gontlcman just arrived from the Dominican Republic. This gentleman is one of the merchants in San Domingo, and, from his social and political position there, has enjoyed special opportunities of ascertaining the feelings of the people on the annexation scheme, and observing the movements of the parties who are working the job up. As he expects to return to his business in the course of a few veeks, and does not desire to arouse the hostility of some of the men whose acts he criticised, he asked as a favor that if anything he said should be published, his name should not be used in connection with it. The reporter promised that his will in this particular should be obeyed, and the interview proceeded as follows : Reporter Do the people of San Domingo want to be anuexed? In answer to this question Mr. W said he was sure that seven out of every ten of the inhabitants of the island were in favor of annexation to the United States, but that they did not approve of Baez's connection in the roatler. It was almost the universal belief among the merchants of San Domingo that it was a scheme for putting money into the pockets of Baez, his brother Buenaventura, Babcock, Fabens, Cazncau, Spofford Bros. & Co., of New York, and even Grant himself. It was believed that the debt of the Republic would be assumed by tho United States, and that three or four million dollars would be divided among these parties. There was no doubt in his (Mr. W.'g) mind that this was the plan agreed upon. Reporter How about those lots on the Buy of Samana, Mr. W.T Mr. W.

How is it marked, Mr. W., with or leather? boards, paste-boarMr. W. Tho different lots are marked with boards. R. What names are upon the boards? Mr. W.

I asked Captain , of the steamer , what it all meant; but he siid, "W., don't ask me; I'm here to run this vessel, and I'm not supposed to know anything about matters off shipboard. R. ho put up these boards? Mr. W. Old Fabens, I suppose. R. Has the bay any of the advantages of Long Branch as a watering place that Grant could be induced to spend his vacations on his Samana lot instead of at our more fashionable places of summer rosort? Mr. W. Well, I can't say that it would do for a watering place very well, but it is a beautiful piece of water, finer than the Bay of Naples, and I pronounce Samana Bay its superior. Samana Bay is undoubtedly the finest harbor in the d, know the boots. Haytians A Fighting shook in their This man Baez is not half the man he is cracked up to be. He bas no personal means whatever, and could not raise $5,000 dollars to save his life. His brother Buenaventura is the one who first started this annexation scheme, and he did it to get enough money to get away to Spain or France, he did not care which. I have been to cock fights with him many a time. We were at a chicken dispute when the news came of the rejection of the annexation treaty by Congress. He said to me: "Oh, well, it may not be done now, but it will be." I said: "Wed, Buenaventura, when it does come, I suppose you will be good enough to make me Chief of Police?" 'I won't promise you the office of Chief," he replied, "but you may count on being a policeman." New llailroads. Parson. The Rev. Burdell Dunn and a man named Fenn, both of Oakland, had a fight on Montgomery street this morning, in which canes were used quite freely. The reverend geutleman was badly cut on the forehead; Fenn was uninjured. Detectives Johnson and Ansbro were in the vicinity where the fight occurred, and they arrested the two beligerents and locked them up in the city prison on a charge of street fighting. They were released by the Poliee Judge on $10 bail each. Ansbro had a thumb nearly dislocated by the belligerent Reverend, who is a very large man, while Fenn is under size. During the struggle Attorney William Hayes attempted to separate them, when Burdell hit him a violent blow. The cause of the trouble is said to be an article written by the Reverend gentleman and published in the Oakland Transcript, in which Mrs. Fenn, who is the daughter of Hayes, and a member of Dunn's church, is called Mrs. Potiphar.
