The members of the bar whu practice iu the Third District Court have been supplied with a GVurt Calendar, arranged by the active and energetic Clerk. The Herald, in commenting upou the. book, praised the calendar as the most complete and accuratt which this jury wasj impanneled. shows how the jurors are to be drawn, but makoH no provision in regard tithe number. It speaks of the nun ber of names to be drawu from directed as previously the by are the judge, froui which the juries to be made up, but is silent as to the number required to form the juries. man Premier has takeu advantage of Von Arnim's incarceration, to institute a search iu the Count's domicile and thejhouses of his intimate friends, for certain papers which the deposed ambassador has threatened to publish.

Howover he has found noth The precious papers are iog. supposed to be safe in England, in which tight little Island Rismarck's ?earch warrants are of no more value than waste paper. Rismarck is angry. It is not at all improbable that he is fearful. For unless those hidden documents contained something important if not deeply damairius to him he would not be so to obtain possession of them. He must calm his impatience. their own way.

After tho exercise of a "great deal of ingenuity, and the arrangement andusooftho Carey Catechism, a grand jury was impanneled in the Third District Court last week, and, being duly and unduly cfiarged, primed and prejudiced, were sent to their roomjto shoot off iudictmeuts. Their first shot was an indictment against one of their own number, who, declining to ghe the enormous bail of 10,000 required by the preaching judge, was committed an! couSued in the penitentiary. Now it is a serious question whether or not this carefully selected jury is capable of finding a valid It seems to us uot at all improbable that every indictment it find will be quashed, a".d that too by the venerable Judge himself who presides in the Third District Court. His Honor decreed that the Grand Jury should be composed of twenty-thre- e citizens. We know of law another query in connec- tion with this important subject. If twenty three is the proper number to form a Grand Jury how can twenty-tw- o find a valid indictment? Col, T. E. Ricks, one of the panel, is committed to the peuitentiary, leaving but twenty two to answer the roll-caand attoud to business. Twelre of the whole number agreeing can bring in a true bill, but can twelve out of part of a juy find a bil which will stand tho test of legal ll scrutiny? Viewing tho foregoing according to what light we have on the matter, wo are of the opinion that the present 01 rand Jury is another of numerous blunders, and that all the arts of that body will be of no more value than the decisions of His Honor vhich the Supremo Court evaporated into thin air, and which drew upon him the ridicule and contempt af the whole bar of the United Staf. a.

The fact is the "ring" are itching fV.r a fuss. Not that any of them have any particular desire to expose thur worthless carcasses in a danger ous position. Rut they are particu' larly anxious to bring about a collision between the "Mom. oris" and the Government. Their war cry has been all alonir, "Mormon rebellion," and they have worked with a persistence worthy of a better cause, by every method they could invent, to make it appear that the people of Utah are treasonable, lawless, and opposed to the authority of the United States. They have not succeeded very well, and it they can only manage to bring about some kind of a real col lision they think they will have it all d al is . .i i ?

If they could procure the quartering of a large body of troops on the Territory, and the establishment of martial law, they think all things would work into their hands. The pruper course for the "Mormons" under these circumstances, is continued patience. Let the law be honored, and its representatives be treated as such, while they keep within anything like lawful and decent bounds. And let no one give the "ring" a pretext for disturbance, nor a chance to substantiate their charges against the people of. this Territory. The amount of credence which Marshal; Max well attaches to his owu attacks on the "Mormon" peo pie, may be seen from his statement in Court yesterday that he does not carry pistol.

I The Latter-daSaints are frequently reniindvd by contentious disputants, of tne passage In tbe Doctrine and Covenants, page 145, section 5, "Let no man break the laws of the land, for he that keepeth the laws of God hath no need to break the laws of tbe land," etc., and are accused, of living in open violation of the law of 1802 against polygamy. The revelation in which is contained tbe passage quoted, was given in 1831, and the revelation on Celestial Marriage, in 1843. The L. D. Saints believe that the law of 18C2 is a violation of the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees the full exercise of religion, and the federal agitators in Utah have hitherto carefully avoided of a single conviction under said law, fearing the opportunity for an appeal to the U. 8. Supreme Court to test its constitutionality. Good, wholesome faws; passed by un prejudiced and unbiassed legislators for t he regulation, government and well being of a community laws which pun ish crime and immorality, and protect virtue and innocence, cannot possibly come in contact witn any laws of God: but there are any number of precedents ou record, in support of which we can quote the best authorities, Bhowing how torrcer-uasaints acted in open viola tion and defiance of laws that were pro scriptive and prohibitory of the free worshiping of God and the increase of ' posterity. .
