Justice above Wealth. (lovcrnor Dix has in' a single instance interfered with the courts (.flaw in New York. A year ago an altercation occurred in a place of report in the citv, when an inoffensive man was accidentally killed by David Murphy. The assassin was at once taken into custody, and after a two days' trial was convicted of murder iu the first degree and sentenced to le hanged on the 1 1th of August. A writ f error aud a stay of procced-ing- s were obtained, but failing to a favorable decision he was . Be-cu- re sentenced. An appeal to the Governor was iaade and a powerful array of facts presented,tending to show that Murphy was not a murderer at heart,and Lad.previous to the crime which now jeopardized his life, never been accused of the slightest offence. from the Justices of the Supremo Court were submitted, and testimonials offered from numerous citizens certifying to the excellent character of the condemned man before his rash act. Upon those representations the Governor issued an order countermanding preparations that were being made for the execution of Murphy. Much has been said of the obduracy of the Chief Magistrate of New York and his stern conservatism, in refusing to interfere with the course of law. A few weeks since the announcement was made that Foster, ia tho flower of his manhood, had suffered in expiation of his crime on the scaffold, lie was rich, reared in opulence, surrounded by lrieuds who implored for Executive clemency. Yet to all their prayers Dix turned a deaf carjand proved himself impervious to tho solicitations of his own personal and political friends. Murphy is poor, and without the adventitious aid of influential friends. It has become a trite and threadbare paying that, "poverty is a crime," find that wealth is omnipotent. If Governor Dix has douo nothing else to save his administration from censure, his intervention in obedience to the dictates of humanity, and his utter indifferenco to power or wealth, will alone reflect undying houor upon his name. - Thuriitau and Ohio. . The determination of the Virginia and Ohio Democracy to cut 'loose from all entangling alliances, is si" nificant. Senator Thurmau is the leading figure- at this time. Ohio is the cynosure of all eyes. It is early in the day to commence a Presiden tial campaign. Thurman has stood like a wall of adamant for many years in tho Senate between tho extremists. His ouroer has been marked for dignity of character and great ability. Tho unfortunato divisions cf the conservatives in Ohio have dono much towards alienating public sympathy ,bu: there is ample time for a reconciliation of differences. Should the entire opposition unite ' upon tho regular ticket, headed by that veteran war horse, William Allen, there may be a chrnce tfor success.

In consequence of the influx of desperadoes from the surrounding Territories, urged to leave their old haunts by strongly expressed popular objections to their society, and encouraged by the habeas corpus regime of the missionary judges, Salt Lake has come to be as lively as a raising camp, and while houses of "accommodation" are kept open in defiance of the law, murderous ruffians prowl tho streets ready to s defend these with knife and pistol. A raid on these houses has lately been effected by the police, wheu fifteen persons were captured and placed under bonds for examination before the Alderman's Court. In order to make a clear case, witnesses were procured who were able to state facts iu their own experience having a direct bearing on the question. Only three of the offenders appeared yesterday, the others forfeited their bonds, and a desperate effort was made to clear these on the ground of lack of jurisdiction of the Court This bciDg overruled, a jury was dc manded, and pending the jury trial it seems that the roughs have- been at work trying to get rid of the wit nesses. , 'Last,, night about 10 o'clock Thomas Williams, one of the wit nesses was shot by Bill Kirby, a no torious rough, on the steps of the Pacific Hotel, the ball entering the hell-hole- Salt Lake City, July 25. AtThe charges made by torney Bates against the leading Federal officials here have created great excitement. The supporters of the Feder al Ring pretend to sneer and make light of the grave and carefully worded in dictment, but the general public ara overwhelmingly in favor of an immedi ate investigation, though it is feared that it might only result in whitewashing the criminals. The suit against Brigham Young by Mrs. Ann iiliza ebb, it is believed, was instigated for the purpose of levying blackmail and diverting attentiou from the charges of Bates. The solicitors for this woman want $20,000 counsel fees from Brigham Young for carrying on this suit. This is the plainest extortion. There isn't a lawyer in the Territory, Bates accepted, whose services are worth New $3,000 a year. Your iorK lawyers aon t generally get a pre from the liminary allowance of courts in divorce case3 where the husband is wealthy. But Judge McKean has granted au order for Brigham Young to show cause why he should not pay $5,000 down to two King lawyers for beginning a divorce suit asrainst him. After the $5,000 is paid, $15,000 more is to be squeezed out of Brigham at various stages of the case Without regard to the merits of the suit, this certainly looks very much like a flagrant attempt at blackmailing.

We hope she is contented with that "spirit touch," but it appears to us just about as real and satisfactory as walking "the viewless causeways of the air."

The following synopsis of the speech in reply, is clipped from the Herald of this morning: Mr. Kirkpatrick, for the defendant, then opened the closing argument by saying that he regretted that it was his personal misfortune to be compelled to reply to the address of Tilford. lie had been mistaken in the argument, as be thought a dry legal proposition was the question to argue; the question of the jurisdiction of the district court. He w as not aware that he was going to hear a recital of the supposed wrongs of the complainant; but when ho considered there was a $t),000 preliminary counsel fee, and a $14,000 one at the close of the suit, it was but natural that there should be some oratory for the money. When the proof of the bill came up before the court he expected to prove the talo of Ann Eliza's sufferings was a work of fiction. Ann Eliza was a divorced woman with two children. She married the defendant, who was much her senior.had various business matters to attend to,and therefore she could not expect much of his time; but he found by the bill that the honeymoon lasted a whole year; younger people have had shorter honeymoons. The defendant then moved her to a farm, three miles from the city, and compelled her to live with her mother for two years and a half. She was then brought to the city and located in a comfortable home, a more comfortable home than of the people of the city enjoyed. If the defendant hated her.as the bill would indicate.why did he bring her from the Farm,and give her a mansionclose to his own! She left her good home and went to the most extravagant hotel in the west, and then claims that she canuot live for less than $1,000 per month. The counsel then stated that divorce and alimony were matters of statutory regulation, and that no tribunal in the country can take any e of that class of cases without stat' ' utory grant. 1 Bishop, Sec. 71 and others. Where a dccre of nullity is sought on the ground of fraud, lunacy, eto., a court of equity will take cognizance of the case; but the one at the bar is not such a case, but comes under statThe question utory causes for divorce. before the court is not whether the Probate courts have divorce jurisdiction, but whether the District courts have. The language of the statutes referring ing to the powers of the courts is very plain, and there is no doubt that it was the intention of the Legislature to give the jurisdiction of divorce cases to the Probate courts; and if such was the case then the District court could not have it also, because only one has the jurisdiction. Alimony was only granted as incidental to some other relief, generally divorce; 2 Bishop, p 231. It has been held by eminent judges, that where a court had hold certain judicial functions for along time, na court should change thorule.but should leave it to the Legislature. If a court were to overrule such jurisdiction the consequences would nine-tenth- s APPET IZER, TS PUEELT A VEGETABLE PREPARATION R 0 OT8, composed 6tnjply of HERBS nd FRUITS, combined with other Jpropertios, which In their Eature ara Cathartic, Aperient, Nutritious, Diuretic, Alterative ani The whole is preserved in a sufficient quantity of spirit from the SUGAR CAXE to keep tkein ia any climate, which, makes the well-know- n Anti-Biliou- s.
