WEDNESDAY, I'tah's Gubernatorial Chair. The announcement made in a h annexed hereto, and received ly us to day, will be read with uo little interest as an indication of a revulsion of sentiment among the leaders of public opinion relative to the affairs of this Territory. Mr. Claggctt is making great exertions to secure the appointment of Governor, but he has a powerful adversary in the person of General P. E. Connor, ;t resident of Salt Lake City. Not long since the President intimated his desire to appoint as Territorial officers only residents or those who intended to identify their interests with the people to whom they were accredited as their rulers. He may yH redeem his promise To foist an obnoxious alieu, a roving aspirant for official honors and place, upon the people who have built up a region that twenty years agu was a wilderness, is injudicious and beyond the bounds of discretion. A gleam of breaks the hope through uncertainty 1 hat has clouded the prospects of from interlopers and Wc believe that tho appointment of Gen. Connor will prove to bo acceptable to a large majority of the people of Utah.

President Grant seems to be earnest in regard to Ui ah affairs. Aft'0 a Cabinet consultation recently ' i, went to the Capitol and requested an view with the Judiciary Comm:ttee"f both Houses. On assembling it;,.-- , he stated what ne wanted, and that majority of both committees agroed carry out his views by reporting a bij for that purpose. The Merritt bill was shortly afterwards introduced, and U said to embody Mr. Grant's views as to the proper method of dealing with in Utah. It looks to us a new for a President to aroue something his viovs before Congressional in regard to legislation proposed. It may be all right, but it partakes somewhat of the lobbying character, a busi. ness iu which the President, least of all others, should ever cugage.

Travel.- - The Union Pacific train areleven rived last night at half-pao'clock. Passengers were not numerous The delay was by a freight train that was blockaded y suow drifts near Piedmont. This morning the passenger and freight trains started off as usual. At seven punctually the Central Pacific cars came in with an average number of passengers. Its arrival was looked for with interest as the criminal Lee was known to be among the passengers, in company with the officers who had him in charge. The Utah Central train was on lime, and all obstructions we are told have been removed. Light passage. But little news of interest along the different roads is announced. It is believed among railroad men that travel will increase from day to day, ond that the city will be alive with the bustle and activity which usually accompany the opening traveling season. based upon ex park statements, telegraphic rumors, and sensation articles from hired correspondents of the press. The true facts should be known before the sealpel is applied We don't see any particular urgency hasty legislation, in he case. The affairs of Utah are no more complicated, nor have they assumed a more serious aspect than has been the condition of affairs there for tea or fifteen years past. The anxiety to suppress polygamy, immediately, seems to outweigh all other considerations. The knowledge that it is a crime against civilization, seems to have just come home to some people, and they can't brook a moment's dlay in eradicating the foul blot. Wc believe in doing away with polygamy, and that at the earliest possible period; but there is a right way and a wrong way of doing almost anything, and we think there is policy and wisdom ia making haste slowly.
