Editor Ogdkx Junctiox: Feeling a lively iuterest in the education of our youth, we ptn these few lines, hoping they will not be out of place. Six months ago we engaged the services of our old friend and teacher, Mr. John Royle, of this place, to teach our school. He had taught our school five quarters previous to our engagement wiih him, so we did not feel uneasy in regard to his conducting our school in a proper manner. We cm suy he has given almost entire satisfaction, and we can recommend him as a competent teacher. Knowing that the quarter would close Feb. 18th, 1873, we determined to vi.it theschool on that day. It gave us great pleasure to witness the order of the school; also the different classes going through the departments of t heir study namely: Reading, spelling, writing, geography, grammer and arithmetic. We were surprised to see the rapid advancement the pupils had made. Just previous to closing, the teacher turned over the school to the trustees, who expressed themselves satisfied with the manner of conducting the school, as did several other citizens who were pressnt during the examination. The average daily attendance during the winter has been fifty. three. Ou a vote being called as to whether the teacher had shown any partiality in the school, the vote was unanimous that he had not. After the close of the school, the singing-clas- s remained for (lie purpose of being trained by their teacher in the rudiments of music; aud they certainly deserve great credit.

Met by the decision of chief Justice Chase, fkis curiously arlitrary assumption fell to the ground. Now, Mr. Justice Hawley, sitting in the United States court iu Utah, has, in effect, re affirmed the McKean decision, which was overruled by the United States Supreme Court, last winter. He holds the legislative enactment to be void. We shall never briag order out of chaw in Utah at this rate; this is simply judicial anarchy; and this is what Congress is called on to cure. It is, iu truth, a hard nut to cracL According to chief justice Chase, the Territorial governments are wgnnized upon the theory of leaving to the inhabitants all tbe powers of consistent with the suprenuvcy of national authority and certain fumiamental principles established by Congress. The chief justice also said, in the Kegelbreclu case:, "In all the Territories lull power was givex over all ordinary subjects of The terms in which it wa legislation. granted were various, but the import was the same iu all." Furthermore, hesnid. speaking of the Territorial courts: 'Congress makes nc-- attempt to confer criminal jurisdiction on any curt; but leaves all criminal matter., including the mode of drawing jurors, to the Territorial legislature." Under such a construction of law, therefore, the Utah legislature organized, in 1805, probate courts, on which were con tVrrnd orieiual jurisdiction, both criminal and civil, as wen in ciiancery as at common lnw when nut prohibited by legislative enactment. Congress never disapproved that act of the leirislaturp i of course it must stand as law until it is so disapproved ; especially as the United Sitc Supreme Court lias expressly (iu the Engelbrccht decision) the principle that a Territorial legislature has control over this as one of the ordinary The probate subjects of legislation. court law was unacted in 185"), and the jury law in 185'J; a simple disapproval of Congress would have annulled y never were so disapproved ; the reasonable inference is that they were approved by that body. We do not discuss now the expediency of permitting the legislature of Utah to erect courts which shall have original jurisdiction in criminal common there is nothiug in tbe organic act prohibiting the legislature from exercising that right ; everything points, a9 chief justice Chase indicates, to the theory that the Territorial legislature is clothed with full power over ordinary subjects of legislation, of which this i one. At any rate the Utah legislature exercised that power seventecu years ago ; and Congress has never disallowed it. Yet, such being the law, (probate courts being given criminal jurisdiction) U. S. Justice Hawley decides that the act of January 17, 1855, is null and veid because contrary to the organic net. It is justice McKean over again. The orother and act the ganic says picsbate courts shall bave such jurisdiction as 'shall be limited by law." That nnm was not fixed by Congress in the organic act; nor by any subsequent enactment; this duty was left lo the Territorial legislature, as one of the "ordinary subjects of legislation;" and it Kis boen so regulated. The United Stales courts-havno common law jurisdiction in criminal cases, says Kent. Mr. Justice Hawley says the Territorial courts have not, therefore thure is none in Utah. This is simply anarchy.
